Thief Mpi l from Ills hirtfront
While AllKhHn from

As Louis R. Meti. treasurer of the Metl
Brewing company, was leaving a Council
Bluffs car at the corner of Fourteenth and
Douglas streets at 10:60 o'clock Inst night
two young fellows Mocked hts way and
while he stood for an Instant for the pas
sage to rlear or of the men pinched his
diamond shirt stud, valued at $115. Mr.
Metl realised In a moment what had been
done and attempted to catch one of tho
men, but they Immediately started to run.
Richard Seaman, nephew of Mr. Met, and
Earl Buck, who had been with Mr. Meta
at Lake Manawa, took after the men, wh.i
ran in different directions nnd no one was
certain which of the men had the diamond.
The man Seaman pursued took a course
that brought him up against Officer I-they,
who arrested him. He gave the name of
B. Adams at the police stntion nnd denied
all knowledge of what had tuken place.
The other man succeeded In getting into
an alley, where he pulled a revolver nnd
threatened to shoot if his pursuers fol
lowed nny further. Ho kept on the move
all the time nnd vjns able to make his
esenpe. The man Adnms. who wns ar
rested, threw away his overcoat during his
fllnht for the double purpose, the police
say, to change his appearance and to make
better speed. Mr. Metz thinks the men
followed him from Ijike Mnnawa and had
carefully planned the whole affair. The
police believe they are expert thieves who
came to Omaha to tnke advantage of tho
crowds due to Peroration day, and the

termined to try and force the Straits of

did not want to bo hampered by a big
convoy in the sea fight and the decision
to send the convoy to the rear compelled
Rojestvensky to adopt the shortest route
by way of Tsu Island, as some of the ships
rould not carry enough coal In their bunk

Information brought by the Almas and
published in an official dispatch tonight
Is supplemented by the results of the inter
views had by the Associated Press corre
spondent at Vladivostok with officers of
the Almas and Grozny. This Information
Is very incomplete, as the Almaz, being
scantily armored and carrying light gun
of little use In battle, drew oft after tho
first collision with the Japanese Saturday
and headed for Vladivostok at full speed.
Captain Chagln gives the number of Japa
nese torpedo boats participating In the at

Rojestvensky Is reported to have been
transferred owing to the doubts as to
whether It was the destroyer Bulny or the
destroyer Bravl.
Itojeatvenaky Not In Vladivostok.
The report sent Tuesday afternoon of
the arrival of the Bulny at Vladivostok was
due to a telegraph message sent to Grand
Duke Alexis, by Admiral Dournovo, a mem
ber of the rounrll of the empire and super
intendent of posts and telegraphs under tho
minister of the interior. Informing him
that he had reeelved advlcea from Vladi

Admiral Dournovo, had picked up Rojest
vensky and had follewed the Almas out
of the battle. Admiral Dournovo being
under the Impression that the admiral had
reached Vladivostok so Informed the As
sociated Press.
Toklo's account of the arrival of cap
tured warships at Japanese ports was more
humiliating to the Russian naval authori
ties than the news of the defeat.
The opinion expressed here Is that noth
ing can excuse the failure of the Russian
commanders to sink their, ships under their
feet rather than to allow them to fall into
the enemy's hands, tho Admiralty advan
cing the supposition that the Bhlps were
stranded on some shoal before being sur
rendered. The question of inaugurating peace ne
gotiations Is not likely to be opened until
full reports of the Russian disaster have
been received. The war party continues
its defiant attitude and declares that peace
Is impossible, while many Russians who
heretofore have been in favor of peace,
but who are now humiliated by the sting
of the defeat of their navy, are giving their
voices In favor of a continuation of the
war. Nevertheless, the peace party In

WADSW0RTH NOT A CANDIDATE
President of Occidental Kot Seeking;
rinee at Ilellevne, gays
Dr. Jenks.
"Why, there Is not a thing In that report
and I can't see why It should have got
abroad," said Dr. Edwin Hart Jenks of the
First Presbyterian church, when asked
atotit the report that Dr. Wadsworth, presi
dent of Occidental (Presbyterian college) of
Los Angeles, was a candidate for the presi
dency of Bellevue college. Dr. Jenks, who
Is an old friend of Dr. Wadrworth, ex
plained how the matter may have become
current:
"Dr. Wadsworth has been at tho general
assembly at Winona I-nke, Ind., which I
also attended, and I had asked him If he
could not stop off and visit me a few days
on his return to California. It is possible
some one to whom I spoke of Dr. Wads-
worth's probable visit may have been re
sponsible for the report. I promised to
take Dr. Wadsworth on a visit to Bellevue
while here, but neither he nor I had any
Idea of hts becoming an applicant for the
presidency. That matter never wns thought
of. I don't know that Dr. Wadsworth is
coming. I expected him today, but he Is
not here yet."
Occidental college is one of the Important
Institutions In California, and It Is not be
lieved Dr. Wadsworth would accept the
presidency of Bollevuo were it offered htm.
Asked If the board of trustees, of which
he Is a member, had opened negotiations
for a president for tho college. Dr. Jenks
replied that It had not, but of course was
looking around with a view of providing a
head for the Institution.
NIPPON HAS BUT TO FIGHT ON
SUSPECTED 0FTAKING BOY
Man Arrested by Captain' Dnnn
Thought to ne Kidnaper of
Younic Fidler.
A man giving the name of Charles
Brandt was arrested Tuesday afternoon by
Chief of Detectives Dunn, who Is thought
to have been the man who kidnaped young
Willie Fidler, who was taken from his
homo at 117 North Twelfth street last De
cember. Young Fidler is the 6-year-old
boy whom It is alleged was abducted by
the man under arrest, and was taken to
a barn at Twenty-fourth and Ames ave
nue, where he was kept for three or four
days, when he was found by Chief Dunn,
apparently not much the worse for his
experience.
Several days ago' the boy came to his
father who conducts a barber shop at 117
North Twelfth street, saying he had seen
the man who carried him oft. Not think
ing much of the Incident at the time, the
boy' father let the matter go by, but
when he came again Tuesday afternoon,
saying he had seen the man again, the
father, Henry Fidler, made an Investiga
tion and the arrest of Brandt followed.
When questioned at the station by Cap
tain Haze and Chief Dunn, Brandt claimed
to have no knowledge of the affair what
ever, but he was locked up and Fidler
says he will file a complaint against him,'
charging kidnaping. Several persons In
the vicinity of Twelfth and Capitol ave
nue say they know Brandt and his repu
tation has always been good.

THOSE WHO TRY THE FOOD FAITHFULLY FOR JO DAYS LEARN THREE
THINGS WORTH MORE THAN A GOLD MINE TO ANYONE WHO VALUES
HEALTH AT ITS WORTH. -
First, that a few ounce of perfectly

Bud strength than many pounds of any
kind of food undigested.
Becoud, that It Is in UrapeNuts alone
that the starchy part of the grain (that
part which Is known to supply
energy) is naturally pre-dlgested in the
process of manufacture. Government
teats of all the principal foods bIiow no
food known bus as much as oue-hulf
the solubility (the digestive test) In cold
water as Grape-Nuts and most of the
food range down from one-fourth, to
very low relative percentages.
Third, that nervous systems, ex
ha us ted by the high strain of present
day requirements, can be and are re
built quickly when fed on' Grape
Nuts, because Nature's Iuonphate of
Potash and Albumen are represented in
the food and from these two things and
water, the life forces make up the soft
gray matter with which to refill the
depleted nerve centres throughout the
body and brain. A distinct feeling of
buoyancy and mental strength follows a
"Grape Nuts diet."

Indemally that Japan Will D

Fleet.
WASHINGTON, I). C, May SO.-'Tntll
some word of peace comes out of Tsarskoe
Belo, Nippon has but to fight on."
Thlseplgra-nmatlc'remark of Mr. Takahlra,
the Japanese minister, made tonight, with
the details of the victory of the Japanese
fleet before him, accurately sets forth not
only his opinion, but It Is believed that of
the Washington and other neutral govern
ments represented here regarding the ef
fect of the battle on Russia's policy.
Whether Count Casslni, the Russian am
bassador, will be the bearer of that fateful
word when he sees the president tomorrow
or Thursday remains to be seen, but the
ambassador, In a conversation with a cor
respondent of the Associated Press tonight
was more emphatic than at any time since
the war In the declaration that the war
would go on indefinitely. While admitting
that he would see the president In the next
few days and have a long -conference on
tho general situation, the ambassador
strongly discouraged any hopes of any
early peace. Ho said:
Perhaps after I.lao Yang there was a
possibility of peace. I will say there was
not an Idea of peace at thnt time in cer
tain quarters, but not after this crushing
dtfeat. never. The Japanese talk of In
demnity. Russia can best use this money
In the building of another fleet. Certainly
this Is not the time when Russln can af
ford to take up the question of peace.
President Roosevelt Hesitates,
It Is this apparent determination of Rus
sia to continue In the face of disastrous
defeats on land and sea which discour
ages the Washington government at this
time from taking any positive steps toward
offering assistance to the belligerents In
coming to an understanding. It Is be
lieved here, however, that when Russia,
through her agents, has learned the
full extent of her losses, se may be ap
proached regarding peace with some hope
that overtures will be welcomed. It Is
such an opportunity for which this govern
ment Is watching.
Soon after the president returned from
New York this evening. Secretary Taft,
who had been out of the city about a week,
called at the White House and was In
conference with him for several hours.
While the secretary was there, dispatches
arrived from the Japanese legation, giving
details of the battle, which the president
read with keen Interest. The president and
the secretary discussed a number of mat
ters, but the outlook for peace occupied
much of their time. It Is realized that the
crushing character of the Russian defeat
gives to the president an opportunity with
entire propriety to offer hit services to the
St. Petersburg government In establishing
communication with Toklo, but until It can
be learned that such an offer would prob
ably be successful, this government Is not
Inclined to act.
Steps In Direction of Peace.
Throughout the diplomatic corps today
the keenest Interest was displayed In the
news of the conference which Mr. Taka
hlra, the Japanese minister, had with the
president at the White House.
"That marks a step In the direction of
peace," said a prominent diplomat, "and
It Is to be hoped that Russia will recognize,
as does the rest 'of Europe, the disinter
ested earnestness of wishes for an ending
of the war. Whatever the popular feeling In
this country, I tl)lnk the Itusslan govern
ment will readily admit that the attitude
of President Roosevelt, personally, has been
all that Russia or Japan could ask. If
Russia had taken the advice of the presl
dent after the battle of I.lao Yang she
would be at peace with the world with
the greater portion of her navy intact.'
This reference was to a conference which
the president had with Count Casslni soon
after the battle of I.lao Yang, when the
president expressed the opinion that Rus
sia could, with dignity and advantage, dis
cuss peace terms with Japan at that time
and with the certainty that no Indemnity
would be asked. While careful to trans
mit the substance of the conversation to
his government the only answer which the
Russia ambassador received was that "The
emperor will continue the war to the bit
ter end."
Sternberg; Calla on I.oomla.
Although the state department was of
ficially closed today Mr. Loo mis, the act
ing secretary of state, was early at his
office to read the dispatches arriving from
the far east. At U o'clock Baron Speck
von Sternberg, the German ambassador,
called Informally and remained with the
secretary for more than an hour, discussing
the battle and Its probable bearing upon
the early ending of the war. The ambas
sador brought no dispatches from Berlin
and told the secretary that he had not
heard from his government since the re
sult of the battle was known. The ambas
sador will leave Washington tomorrow for
Deer Park, Md., where he and the baroness
have leased a cottage for the early part
of June. The ambassador has arranged to
be In telegraphic connection with his em
bassy daily and all dispatches will be for
warded to him.
Regarding last night's conference at the
White House, It Is possible to state now
thnt it dealt first with the details of the
battle and secondly-wlh the possible effect
of this decisive Japanese victory upon
Russia's previous determination to pro
long the war 'ndefinltely. No one realizes
more clearly than the mikado that the
czar must be convinced of the overwhelm
ing character of the Russian defeat befora
he will consider peace, and close as are
relations between Toklo and Washington,
the Japanese government Is not Inclined,
through Its minister, to discuss even with
tho president definite peace terms until
officially assured "In the czar's name that
Russia Is prepared serioumj and In good
faith to discuss peace with Japan."
Official Information.
Thus far the Washington government has
not received the slightest official intima
tion that peace Is under consideration at
St. Petersburg, but a report on this point
Is reported very soon from Mr. Meyer, the
American ambassador, who was some time
ago Instructed to make clear at the proper
time to the Russian officials that while
neither President Roosevelt or any official
of this government Is ambitious for the
role of peacemaker, Russia would find no
power more ready to assist In opening di
rect negotiations with Japan than her tra
ditional friend, the Washington govern
ment. M. Jusserand, the French ambassador,
called at the Russian embassy this after
noon and spent some time with Count
Casslni. The visit, however, was of an
entirely personal character. Count Casslni,
upon receiving a dispatch from Baron
Rosen that the latter expected to be In
Washington early In July, hat cabled hit
successor urging that he reach here In
June.

The many Omaha friends of Norman
Kuhn, who was for many ytars In the drug
business at Fifteenth and Douglas streets,
will be pleated, le learn that things are
enclosure In the rear of the veterans. The
position of honor was given to the details
of the Woman'e Relief corps and with
them were grouped some twenty or thirty
school children, who participated In the
exercises at the grave.
The services at the grave opened with
a dirge by the Thirtieth United States in
fantry band. Major J. 8. Miller was dele
gated to take charge of the services here
and opened the program with a brief re
cital from the Grand Army ritual designed
for the occasion. Chaplain Mackay fol
lowed with the Invocation, and Commander
Thomas L. Hull of Crook post called the
roll of the dead veterans who have died
since last Decoration day in this locality.
The list showed that twenty-three had
answered the last roll call and final muster
out.
Jules Lumbard then sang, with pathetic
effect, "Tenting Tonight on tho Old Camp
Ground." Lincoln's address at Gettys
burg was read by Captain John A. Tate
and then came the dirge, "Old Hundred,"
by the band.
Womna't Relief Corps Rltnal.
The ritual service by the Woman's Re
lief corps followed, with Department Pres
ident Mrs. K. S. Wilcox, Miss Clara Fee-
nan, Mrs. Hough, Mrs. Daniger and Mrs.
Eastman conducting the services, assisted
by a group of children from the public
schools.
A beautiful and seemingly portentous
Incident happened Just at the opening of
the ritual services by the Woman's Re
lief corps. The service began with ting
ing "Nearer My God to Thee," and Just
at the first strains of the dear old tong
were given the clouds parted and a bright
ray of sunlight was thrown on the spray
of the fountain at the lake some fifty
yards away, forming a beautiful and re
markably distinct rainbow that was
plainly visible from the point where the
ceremonies were being held. As the last
strains of the song died away the oloud
lift closed again and the rainbow van
ished. Salute to the Dead.
The ritual service of the Grand Army
followed that of the Women's Relief corps.
Upon ltt conclusion the salute to the dead
was fired by a detachment of the Omaha
Guards, and taps were blown by the trum
peter of tha Omaha Guards. The ex
ercises at the grave were conluded by all
Joining In the song "America."
The ceremonial program was carried out
at the platform, the speakers, band and
special committees occupying the stand
and the scats Immediately In front were re
served for the veterans. A temporary seat
had been provided for the fifty school chil
dren at the front of the plntform and here
they were assembled with flags and flowers
to do their part under the direction of
Miss Fannie Arnold, with Mrs. R. S. Allen
as accompanist.
The feature of the afternoon was the
brilliant address by Chaplain Jesse Cole of
Marshalltown, la. Rev. Mr. Cole spoke
from the heart, being a soldier of the
stirring days of 'C1-'S5, as a member of
the famous Eighth Wisconsin Volunteer
Infantry, better known as the Engle regi
ment, made world famous through Its live
eagle that the regiment took with It from
Wisconsin as a young bird, and which re
mained with the regiment throughout tho
war, participating In nearly every engage
ment which the regiment was In, and In
variably perched Itself on Its special perch
adjoining the regimental flag during battle.
When "Old Abe." the eagle, died a number
of years ago, hit body was carefully pre
served and he Is now in the Wisconsin
state capital building, the object of rev
erent affection by every Wisconsin vet
eran. Departs from Set Speech.
Chaplain Cole stated at the outset of his
address that while he had prepared a
speech for thlt very occasion, yet he was
so overcome by the tremendous crowd and
cordial welcome given him, that he would
not undertake to make a speech, but Just
talk. He said In effect:
The Inspiration of this hour means much.
By that I mean way over yonder across
the sea that the word Togo meant sink
ing Russian ships. We come here today
to decorate the graves of fallen patriots;
the men of by-gone deeds and days. True
patriotism It self abnegation. A man who
does this is a hero. A man who lives and
dies for others Is a hero. Man pertakes
of the nature that surrounds him and be
comes a part of it. The good works of
man will live when the marble that marks
his grave has crumbled to nothingness. A
man who dies for his country and hu
manity, becomes Immortal. His fame
grows with the ages and Is an eternity of
glory. How we revere the very names of
Moses, Paul, Leonidut. Wlnklereid, and
Washington, the 8tar of Rethlehem of the
Western hemisphere. The name of Lin
coln shall not perish, but will ever be
linked with and a part of tho synonym of
liberty and grow brighter with the cen
turies. Let me show you a symbol of
power; see yonder a party of soldiers In the
midst of whom Is a tall, gray-haired man
bound, his face bleeding and he on his
way to his execution. He has broken an
odious law. He dared to make men free.
Yet John Brown was not afraid to die In
that his death. Ignominious as It should
prove to be. would be the motive that
would toon free a portion of the human
race from cruel, tyrannical bondage. John
Brown's death tore asunder the proud state
of Virginia, and made a laughing mockery
of her motto "Sio Semper Tyrannls." John
Brown died for a purpose, and is ImmortuI,
and John Brown's soul is still marching on.
It was the man in blue In '61 and '66
aided by the patriotic, and heroic women
that saved the nation. Hut for them this
union would have been torn to fragments.
That war was the war of ages. It was
a war between two distinct civilizations
the civilization of Plymouth Rock, which
was the civilization of liberty to all men,
liberty of conscience. Iltierty of manhood;
and the other the civilization of James
town, Virginia, which meant the selling of
human chattels, slavery, the argument of
the bludgeon, the slave whip, and the im
placable hate of a pure and holy liberty.
The civilization of Jamestown could not
tolerate the fearless liberty loving utter
ances of Owen Lovetoy, but could murder
him; yet how cowardly It quailed before the
sublime courage of Wendell Phillips. Love
Joy. Phillips. Olddlngs, Sumner. John
Brown and Whlttler were but the sklrmlsn
line of the battle that came with such awful
force In the sixties. The Plymouth Rock
civilization won because It did not Intend
to let one star be blotted from the flag
or one stripe effaced. It was the James
town civilization that fired on Sumter.
Its climax of monstrous wickedness waa the
assassination of Lincoln.
Chaplain Cole closed hit addrest with a
brilliant resume of tht progress of tht
union since tht dayt of 1866.
The band then played another selection
and the school children followed with tha
tong "How Sleept tht Bravt."
The benediction was pronounced by Com
rade Rev. J. H. Brooks of Omaha and tht
formal observance of Decoration day, 1906,
was tt an end.
LOYAL ROIIRMIANS PAY tribvtk
Fire Ilandred C Itlsens and Families
Honor the Day.
Bohemian citizens and their families to
the number of about 6n0 observed Memorial
day with formal exercises at the Bo
hemian National cemetery, Fifty-fourth
street and Lincoln avenue, yesterday after
noon, Johh Roslcky making the address.
Societies of the nationality met at
Bohemian Turner hall on South Thirteenth
street at 1 o'clock and marched to Fif
teenth and Howard ttreete, where cars
were waiting which took them to the end
of the Leavenworth street line. From this
point the march was again taken up to the
cemetery. The Bohemian band led the
procession, which was under the command
of Joseph Wolf, followed by the Tel Jed
Sokol, the Tyrs Sokol, Camp 1R3 of the
Woodmen of the World and camp 471 of tho
Modern Woodmen, all In uniform. At the
cemetery many women, children and other
men Joined the procession.
The services were simple, but Impressive,
and were carried out on a temporary plat
form erected on the highest point of the
pretty hurrying ground. The music wat
rendered by the band nnd the Bohemian
Choral society. The Woodmen of the
World also conducted their memorial
ritual . In his address Mr? Roslcky said:
"This observance Is not an ancient one.
It was Introduced within our memory and
originated only after tho last great war
In the United States, which war marked
the beginning of tho most Important era
of the nation. The patriotism that ex
isted during the civil war wat a thing of
sublimity and grandeur at I can testify at
a witness ine war cost much in life and
property, but was worth fully all that wat
spent. It brought grief Into nearly every
family of thnt time, but It helped to com
fort the mourners to know that by and
through Memorial day the fallen dead
would not be forgotten.
"We, as Immigrated citizens,' feel It our
duty to participate In this commemoration
because we enjoy the fruits of that great
strife. Those who fought and fell did at
much for us as for the native citizens of
the United States. When we view the
civil war from a distance and In the light
of experience we see It wat the turning
point that meant the greatness of thlt na
tion. The union would not be what It la
If that for which the north contended had
not been attained. If the union had not
been preserved the United States of
America could not now take ltt place at
the leading nation of the world."
Decoration Day In Sonth Omaha.
As Is Jhe usual custom the members of
Fhl! Kearney post No. 2, Grand Army of
the Republic, and the Woman's Relief corps
decorated the graves of soldiers at Laurel
Hill cemetery. Services were held at the
cemetery, but the program originally
planned was not carried out owing to the
threatening weather. When the afternoon
came with bright skies hundreds of people
visited Laurel Hill cemetery and scarcely
a grave was left without a remembrance
of some kind.
Llt'.le business was transacted In South
Omaha. The banks and city offices were
closed and the postofflce closed at 10 a. m.
At the packing houses the office forces quit
at noon and only work necessary was per
formed In any of the departments. A num
ber of stores and offices closed at noon ani
during the remainder of the day the busi
ness portion of the city was deserted. A
great many people went to Omaha, the
street cars being crowded all the day long
and until late at night.
Members of the Sarsfleld club visited St.
Mary's cemetery to pay respect to deceased
members. Flags were displayed at half
mast at all of the school buildings and at
the Workman temple.
BREEN FOR GOOD PAVEMENTS
City Attorney Wants Ordinance
Strengthened to Keep Walks
In Best of Repair.
Since City Attorney Breen returned from
a thort visit to St. Faul and Minneapolis
he is an enthusiast upon the matter of
Ukeeplng pavements In good repair all the
time. He declares that nothing contributes
so much to the good appearance of a city
than substantial street floorings In good
condition. This thought struck him forcibly
In the two cities mentioned, where he says
the practice it to repair holea and de
pressions Just at fast at they make them
selves evident.
In order to facilitate and lessen the work
of the new municipal asphalt plant the at
torney Is considering the matter of
drafting stricter ordinances regarding
the cutting and opening of pave
ments by public utility corporations
and plumbers. He says the present laws
are defective as they do not secure prompt
results and often the city paya for the ex
penses of restoring the pavement. It Is
proposed to make every person or firm that
disturbs thi pavements moke a cash deposit
when a permit Is obtained, the amount to
be large enough to cover the cott of
repairs. If the cuts are not repaired within
two weeks or thirty days after they are
caused, the city will be authorized to do the
work and subtract the cott from the cash
deposits. The chief complaint In Omaha
la not that public utility roroporatlon do
not repair pavements they have damaged,
but that they take to long about It.
Women at tha Graves.
