(Jantrr Hoots In Vain to Be Allowed to Pass Beyond the Obstruction In the Channel. "All hands aloft! Haul taut on the taffrall and overboard with the capstan! Make all snug; on the weather beam and act the binnacle three points to port! Oct ready with your snubbln' line and take a hog-hltch around the Jackstaff!" "Aye, aye, air." It was the gallant It. C. Gunter, and It was bravely breasting the swollen tide of the murky Missouri. Four times had the siren of the trim craft hoarsely hooted at the man In the power house on the Illinois Central drawbridge. . This Is the signal prescribed by the War department to be used by a boat when It wishes to announce to the bridge man Its Intention to pass through the draw, two long hoots and two short hoots, and each of the hoots a hoarse one. Anything but a hoarse hoot doesn't go on the river. A shrill, little, ladylike hoot gets you' nothing. "Mavlicatlon la dosed." But the R. C. Gunter mlgbt as well have used a tin whistle or have saved Its steam altogether. The drawbridge didn't draw, not for a cent. The entire Omaha navy Is marooned and defied by the railroad. It can run down stream as far as it tikes, but it can run up stream no farther than the East Omaha bridge, for somebody con nected with the railroad has taken this oc casion to determine that navigation on the Missouri river has closed. This may be news to the War department as well as to the owner of the steamboat, and there la Just a faint possibility that Ben Barrows, surveyor of the port of Omaha and ex offlclo steamboat Inspector, hasn't heard of the abolition of the privileges and preroga tives of the steam-propelled craft of the Missouri. It also takes a lot of nerve, even for a railroad man, to declare that the Mis souri river la not a navigable stream. At all events the Illinois Central bridge tender has for the last four days resolutely refused to open the draw for the R. C. Gunter, even when the boat has run up with Its bow well under the bridge. The Gunter la a light craft, built to run on a heavy dew, and doesn't mount an arma ment heavy enough to sink a bark canoe, so It I at the mercy of the bridge, which contains a trine over S.OUO.OOO pounds of steel in the draw span alone. So, tem porarily at least, navigation has closed on the Missouri river. Will In for Damages.

The matter was brought to the attention of the local representatives of the Illinois Central, but the contention has been made that they are not required to open the bridge as the Missouri here is not open to navigation. Last evening Mr. Baughman telegraphed Chief" Engineer Chittenden at St. Louis, government com missioner for the Missouri river, setting forth the facts of the case, and an answer is expected this morning. The steamboat management has advertised to take passen gers to Florence and is now cut off from progress up the river, Unless the railroad people consent to open the bridge today Mr. Baughman will enter suit Immediately In the United States court." STATE'S WEALTH IS DOUBLED BIk Increase In Prosperity Obviates Meed and Opportunity of Eastern Capital. "The Nebraska farmer pays off the mortgage on his property so soon after the debt Is contracted that eastern money lenders are no longer seeking so eagerly after farm mortgage Investments as' they once did," says an Omaha man who loans large sums each year. "Another Indication of the state's pros perity Is the fact that the farmers are lending to each other. Instead of going to the east for their using eastern capital. In other words, local money Is supplanting foreign capital. "There Is plenty of eastern money seek ing Investment In farm lands here, but the Investors grumble because they have to place It in farms. The farmer always require in the contract a clause to the effect that after two years $100 or any multiple of that sum may be paid on th mortgage. "Raising good crops and selling them at good prices, the debt is paid off In four or five years and the capitalist's money Is idle until he can find another investment. At least 75 per cent of the mortgages made five years ago have been paid on or before maturity. "Nebraska's bank deposits In 1D00 were $59,762,016.87. In 1DUS they were $10.180,7W.1. These are the figures given by the state bureau of labor. Sine 1903 deposits have Increased about $15,000,000. Considering the Increase In the value of land, horses, cattle and buildings, the material wealth of the state has almost doubled since 1900." HAINER SAYS FOURTH IS SAFE Ex-Consjrrasman Predicts Old Time Republican Vote and Extinc tion of Populism. Ex-Congressman E. J. Halner of the Fourth Nebraska dletrlot, from Aurora, was an Omaha visitor Wednesday. Speak ing of politics in that section of the state, Mr. Halner said: "I rather predict the Fourth district will be found In line with Its old-time repub lican majorities next fall. Populism Is practically dead out there with us, though there was a day when it was a strong factor In the politics of the eight counties comprising that district. I suppose you Douglas county people will begin the cam paign early this year and carry It on late.

ADDRESS T8 PHYSICIANS' ASSOCIATION Chlrf Executive Talk of Sanitary Problem In Panama Dlscnsse Chinese Exclusion with Labor Leaders. OYSTER BAY, July 12.-Senator P. C. Knox of Pennsylvania, former attorney general, held long and Important confer ence with the president last night at Saga more Hill. The senator by Invitation of the president was an overnight guest of Mr. Roosevelt. The conference, which was continued until a late hour, covered a wide range of subjects, but It can be said related to one matter In particular which Is of profound professional and official concern to the president. ' No statement was made about the result of the confer ence. Senator Knox, who left Oyster Bay on a morning train for New York, de clined to discuss for publication the result of his interview with the president. It Is not unlikely that he may go from New York to Washington, although he had not determined when ho left here whether It would be necessary for him to go to Wash ington. If, after communication with Washington by telephone from New York, he should And It unnecessary to go to the capital, he will proceed direct to his home at Valley Forge. It Is regarded here as not improbable that other sensational developments may grow out of the leak In the cotton report which Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture is Investigating. In fact, by direction of the president. Secre tary Wilson is conducting the Inquiry along his own lines with a determination to sift the matter to the bottom. As heretofore Indicated In these dispatches. Attorney General Moody will determine finally whether criminal prosecutions are to be In stituted by the government against any of the alleged conspirators. President Talks to Doctors. President Roosevelt delivered a notable address this afternoon before the Associ ated Physicians of Long Island. He -lis- cus-'ied In the course of his speech the te- latlons physicians sustained with the people of the communities in which they reside and the work to be done by the medical x- perts In connection with the construction of the Panama canal, declaring that despite all difficulties on the isthmus and here in the United States the canal would be a success. He referred to achievements of the sanitary engineers, who cleaned the cities of Cuba for the first time In 400 years. Attired In a suit of rough linen and wear ing a broad-brimmed Panama hat, the pres ident arrived at the Oyster Bay High school, where the meeting was held, at 8:15 p. in. He was escorted to the assembly hall, where he was accorded a cordial e ceptlon by the phyBlrlans, all standing. At the conclusion of the president's ad dress and at Mr. Roosevelt's own sugges tion, an Informal reception was held, each member of the association being presented to the president. The president's address, In part, follows: The scientific man who is really a first class scientific man has a claim upon tho gratitude of all the country. The man who is the first class neighbor and Is always called In time of trouble by his neighbors has an equal claim upon society at larg. But the doctor has both claim. Yet In addition to filling both of these functions he may All many other functions. He may have served In the civil war, he may have rendered the greatest possihle service to the community along a dozen d fferent lima Take for Instance Just what Is being done In one of the great works of this country at the present time digging the Panama canal. That is a work that only a big na tion could undertake or that a big nation could do, and It Is a work for all man kind. And the condition precedent upon success In that work is having the proper type of medical work as a preliminary. Now the people who flee from Panama will carry up here Just such stories as the people wtio flee from the forefront of a battle carry to the rear with them. The people to whom this country owes and will owe so much are thuse who stay down there and do not talk, but do their work and do It well. Of course. In doing a great work like that In the tropics, in a re gion which until this government took hold of it, was accounted to be a region exceptionally unhealthy, we are going to he ve troublo, have some yellow fever, have a good deal of malarial fever and Suffer more from the latter than from the yellow fever, although we will hear nothing like the talk about It. We will have every now and then troubles as regards hygiene, Just as we will have trouble in the engi neering problems. Just as occasionally we will have troubles In the administrative work. Whenever one of these troubles comes there will be a largo number of excellent but timid men who will at once say what an awful calamity it la, and express the deepest sorrow and concern and be rather Inclined to the belief that the whole thing la a failure. It will not be a failure. It will be a success, and It will be a success because we shall treat every little check, not as a reason for abandoning the work, but as a reason for altering and bettering our plans so as to make It Impossible that that particular check shall happen again. Conference with Labor Leaders. Immigration to the United States and Its relation to the labor problem formed the subject of a conference this afternoon be tween the' president and two of the Im portant leaders of organized labor, Samuel Oompers of Washington and James Duncan of Qulncy, Mass., respectively the presi dent and one of the vice presidents of the American Federation of Labor. The conference was devoted particularly to a consideration of the order recently Is sued by the president regarding the en forcement of the Chinese exclusion law. An Impression had been gained by many members of labor organizations that the order to an extent at least let down Im migration bars so far as Chinese are con cerned. The president assured his callers, however, that no such construction properly could be placed on the order and that he was Just as vigorously opposed to the ad mission to this country of Chinese coolies as they could be. Mr. Oompers urged upon the president the desirability for an Intelligent, practical and humane consideration of the general ques tion of Immigration by the people and by congress. The people of the country and of the whole civilised world are entitled, he maintained, to such a confederation of the pioblem Statement of Mr. Gompers After the conference Mr. Uonspers said: We directed the president's attention to th Interpretation placed by some persons upon his recent order, Isxued at the In stance of the American Asiatic association, concerning the admission to the United Flhtes of Chinese. By many of our people and by n any Chinese that order was looked upon as a letting down of the Immigration bars 30 far as the Chinese are concerned. The president assured us that no proper reading of the order would warrant such an If ti rpretatlon und that nothing was further from his Intention than that such an Impret-slon should he gotten from the order His determination Is that both skilled and unskilled Chinese laborers shall be excluded from the United States snd he savs that the law will lie rigidly enforced The order reluted to the so-called exempt -lasses, mercliunts, students, travelers and the like, who heretofore have had diffi culty In gaining admission to this country because of th many fraudulent certificates Issued to them and to coollna who are not entitled to crtll'uates In sny event. We went over the entire matter thoroughly, the emu rem being pre-eminently satis factory to u. The president suggested th.it In the course of Ave or six months w agnlii bring ths matter to his attention In the light cf the experience of that length of tint in wcrklng under th order. Klakt-Hoar Law. W also considered with the president th eight-hour law and the difficulties which we had encountered in securing its en forcement on government work. We In stanced violations of the law and requested him to consider them. He asked us to pre sent th facts in a furnial document, be re fusing t take the suhtect at once. Mean time n expressed himself s being In en tire sympathy with the law and Insisted that It must lw observed. Our talk with the president was most satisfactory. We discussed generally the condition and Interests of labor, considered the subject of more rigid regulations for th ocluslon from this country of vicious and Illiterate Immigrants and talked of some legislation along these lines which we regard as desirable. Messrs. Oompers and Duncan left on the afternoon train for New Tork. They had expected to be accompanied to Oyster Bay by John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, but he was un able to meet the engagement.

PORTLAND, Ore., July 12 President W. D. Wheelwright of the Chamber of Com merce of this city, on behalf of that or ganization, has sent a letter to President Roosevelt bearing upon the question of Chinese exclusion. The letter urges Pres ident -Roosevelt to take "steps toward negotiating a new treaty with China that shall provide for the removal of the ex acting conditions that now attach to the entrance Into this country of their mer chants, students and professional men, for the absolute freedom of all Chinese resi dents of this country to visit their own land and return here, and for the admis sion during the next ten years of a num ber of male Chinese laborers that In any one year shall not excetd one-tenth of 1 per cent of the population of this country. American labor has little appreciation of Its own dignity and power, as well as ot Its capabilities for Improvement, If It raises objections to such limited Chinese Immigration as that amounting In ten years to less than 1 per cent of our popu lation and thus endeavors to deprive the nation of this additional means to Its own development, not only In this country, but In the Hawaiian and Philippine islands and Panama. The president la asked to give publicity to his Intentions In this regard as soon as practicable. IRRIGATION CONGRESS CALL Formal Notice Issued for Meeting; at Portland Latter Part of August.

PURSUING PARTY MEETS THEM WITH BALLS Fight on Kansas Line Sear Okla homa Knds In Death of Two Men Wanted by Authorities. WINFIELD, Kan., July ll.C. S. Calhoun of Kansas City, an Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway detective, was shot and Instantly killed at Cedarvale early today by two outlaws, who were shot down later by a posse of cltliens at Hewlns, seven miles from Cedarvale, elbse to the Okla homa state line. One of the outlaws, Ed Madlgan of Ponca City, Okl., was killed Instantly by the posse. The other, William Chadburn of thla city, was fatally wounded. The outlaws exchanged shots with the posse. During the exchange J. M. Pope, a merchant, was shot through the foot and a woman named Malnne was struck In the leg by a stray bullet. Madlgan and Chadburn held up and robbed seven traveling men at the Hrettun hotel at Wlnfleld on Sunday night last and escaped. At Cedarvale last night Detective Calhoon encountered both of the outlaws on the streets. Not being positive of their Identification, Calhoon secured the city marshal and one of the robbed traveling men and all three started In a carriage In search of the two men. Early today they drove past the men In a side street. The traveling man Identllled them and the trio In the carriage were Just In the act of making a stand when either Madlgan or Chadburn opened fire. Calhoon was shot through the heart and the outlaws made their escape temporarily. The marshal and the traveling man, taken by surprise, were unable to tire a single shot In return. Calhoon's body was taken to an under taker's room and the town aroused. The outlaws stole two horses and started for Hewlns. While a posse was gathering at Cedarvale word was wired ahead to Hewlns, where the deputy sheriff quickly gathered a score of armed men about him. Within two hours the outlaws rode up to a hardware store at Hewlns, secured a rifle and a revolver and started out of town on a gallop. Just as Madlgan and Chadburn were leaving the main streets the posse opened fire from the protection of a store. The robbers teturned the Are and a lively fusllade ensued. Finally Madlgan fell from his horse, dying almost Instantly. Another bullet soon brought Chadburn to tho ground, shot through the bowels. During the exchange of shots J. M. Pope, a mem ber of the posse, received a slight wound In the foot, and a Mrs. Malone, who had been attracted to the scene by the firing, was shot In the leg. Her wound Is not serious. Madlgan's body was taken to Cedarvale and Chadburn wns placed In the hospital, where, It Is said, he cannot live. Madlgan and Chadburn were each under 30 years of age. Chadburn has served time In the Kansas penitentiary for robbery. Nothing is known of Madlgan. Calhoon was 40 years old.

Speaking of good roads in Nebraska, Mr. Richardson said: "This state should have a highway com mission with a backing of expert road en glneers and a ' state appropriation for the main roads of the state. Illinois and other states recently have appointed state high way commissions and made large appropri ations for the work. Every dollar Invested In good roads will come back like bread cast on the waters. Buch commercial Inter ests as transportation lines, automobile companies and other Interests should lend a hand to the maintenance of state roads and even In Instances take the initiative In promoting the good work. "Macadamized roads are still the most popular form of permanent roads, al though In some sections a form of hard ened brick is being used with much suc cess. It Is practically ImposHlbie to con struct a good roadway out of the natural roadbed. "The automobile has and Is doing much for the advancement of the cause of good roads throughout the country. In soma parts of the west '1 noticed the railroad companies have Inaugurated automobile service from the railroad to points of In terest. "Nebraska should get In line with a high way commission. I feel sure It will before long. The roads should not bo left exclu sively to the rural districts."
