"Tha fault of our brother we writ upon
the rami;
Their virtue upon tablets of love and
mnmory."
This w the conrrete sentiment of the
menioiinl service held Sunday morning at
the Boyd by Omaha lodge. No. 89. Benevo
lent and Protective Order of Klki. Close
to l.Ono peoplo. Klks and their friends, filled
the lower floor and the balcony cf the
theaterl probably one-third of the number
were women.
On the stage a large memorial tablet
had been erected, draped In black, with
festoons and wrenttia of evergreen across
lti .upper front. At one coiner was an
urn resting on a draped column, topped by
a palm, while at the other side of the
tablet. In a recess at the bottom, was a
kneeling figure of grief, the whlt marble
showing out clearly against the sombre
background. On the front of the tablet
were six spaces, five bearing the names
of eight departed Elks and one having
seven names. rtiirniotuitlng tho whole were
tha illuminated words. "Our Absent Broth
ers." When Kxaltcd Ruler James R.
Dewar opened the ceremonies the names
were hidden by black curtains; then as
Becretary Ftiray called each name the
curtain was drawn down to let It shine
out in golden letters. Forty-seven times
did the curtain? drop, until the names of
all the Omaha Klks who have died shone
out in brilliant outline.
As the exalted rulT called 4ipnn the
different officers In compliance with the
ritual they ruse In their places and made
response with dignity nnd Impresslvenesa.
Kach was ml li d on for answer as to their
duties at the opening unci for expression
of approval at tho close, of tho ceremonies.

Following i tho unveiling of the names.
Brother K. C. Page of the local lodge de
llvereil the eulogy for the departed mem
bers in nn impressive manner. Ife said:
This is but one of many memorial gather
ings held today tinder the auspices of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of Klks.
Similar observances are being had In more
than l.ftKl cities of this country scattered
over our continental area and on the
Islands that Ho close to our eastern and
far away from our western shores. In all
these cities combined 2fi0e0 of the mem
bers of this order or their representatives,
together with untold thousands of their
friends. In silent thought or almple speech
are paying the tribute of loving memory
to those who have pasxed from uncertainty
Into certainty, from durknss Into light.
Holding firmly to the only religious require
ment of Hie order, the belief in the ex
istence of a Power Supr -le. they quar
reled with no man's cnnviitlons and ques
tioned no man's creed.
Those whom we honor richly deserve the
distinction accorded them. Hpeaklng gen
erally, they were earnest, practical men.
They did ihlnnrs rather than sn4d things.
They were u part of the moving, pulsing,
feeling world mound them. They flung
Into life the full and rounded measure of
h virile energy. Cherishing high Ideals, '
striving, sometimes III and sometimes well,
In their attainment, enjoying rreedom or
thought, exercising vv-'n reasonable lim
itations freedom of in : . n. remembrlng the
rights and considering the feelings of
ethers, they "lived and let live" and were
In love with life.
Menaltlre of Mind and Heart.
Those whose feet before ours have trod
the i unseen paths did not fall In their .
. -- . . . . . ... V. .....ll.ina h
aggregate of which the world has come to
call mind. They were sensible of the
power of thought. Imbued, however, with
the same spirit and purposes of the order,
they consecrated their fraternal life to
the development and cultivation of those
qualities which the world has come to call
tho heart. They were sensible of the
power of feeling. They wero right. While
ft may be true that mind gi Ides the world,
it is equally true that heart governs It.
Thov whom we honor were by charity
touched to tenJerneas. Quietly, villi none
of the pride of show, they housed and
clothed and fed the homeless mid the
friendless. Their charity knew no narrow
inuterlal limits. Over the errors and the
Weaknesses of thoi'o who faltered and
stumbled as they hi - tig led toward the
goal of better things, i ey threw the pro
tecting mantle of that .same charity. They
loved justice and realized that the rights
of others are as dear to those others as
their own rights were dour to themselves.
They' know that the spirit of discontent
and protest, aroused against the wrongs
. of the world, can never be permanently
' M'lleted until the simple right is every
where recognized, until to each is ac
corded that which to each is due. They
were in sympathy with the love that makes
men brothers. They felt the tension of
the chords that bind together human heart
in fraternal feeling and common purpose.
They bowed at the shrine of fidelity. They
Were faithful to the tenderest ties of life.
They were In sympathy with bettered social
conditions. They were loyal to tha gov
ernment created by sacrifice and held In
patriotic reverence by all.
Stood for High Character.
Those who have left our midst, holding
such aent.menta and imbued with resulting
I'lgn purpose, saw clearly the value of that
Mgh character into which these principles
si) prominently enter. They were sensible
of the fact that the gravest problem which
prof-cut itself to our people today Is the
problem of the development and cultiva
tion of the most sterling qualities of
character among our citizens. True 1n all
countries, this U evncciully true where the
government lies inure immediately In the
tiallds of the people.
It can hardly rise higher than its source.
The natuiw and uxuut of reform move
ments ar everywhere limited by the char
acter of the people concerned. Time and

pressive systems have been swept away,
only to be replaced Uy other systems per

reaching or pcrmunent because no change
has been wrought in the moral fiber of a
people. A system of government, guard
ing safely tiio rights of all, can never bo
established and maintained until in the
hearts of the people there lies a lixed and
unalterable determination to recognize and
upuotd the rights of all. Vho givat strug

Brother Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City
lodge delivered the formal addresa, "which
was evidently shortened because the Mis
souri orator was suffering from a cold.
Mr. Walah Is a man of pleasing presence
and delivered his address with tine effect.
He opened by Buying:
The most saddening and pathetic thought
that ever gains dominion over the mind
of man Is, "Home day 1 shall be gone and
forgotten."
Kven these friends that cluster around
me today, even these loved ones of the
fimlly circle from whose eyes shine forth
the holiest love must. In the order of
things, some day forget me. A i'ft singer
once clothed his beautiful thought In
these words. "For memory Is the only I
rrlend that grief can call Its own."
i come to you today an humble brother
of an order that has one office more beau
tiful In Its ritual and Its work than nil
others combined. It is that one that savs
In spirit, not only to all of its brothers, I
but to all mankind that comes within the
reacn oi its innuence, -we will not for
get you. You may be gone, but you will
not be forgotten."
.Once ft year at least we will meet wher
ever 'Elkdom Is known, and spiritually wo
will reach forth again tho hand of brotherly
love and the hand of fellowship and sav,
"Youiare npt forgotten: we have budded
well and permanently In this order Uan
the Idea given forth by the Son of Man;
we are planted upon those spiritual prin
ciples that Christian thought which I hope
and believe will make us endure forever."
We say to our absent brothers, there Is
no death, there Is simplv a passing be
yond We believe in the Man that said
to the world In His divinity. ."I am the
resurrection and the life," who said to
His Hpostles In performing nn act that He
wished to live as long an mankind dwelt
upon earth. "Do this In commemoration
of me. We build ujain that thought, and
though you. my brothers. . mnv pass on
before, you will still be In splritiwU com
munion with us.
Star of Hope Still Shine.
A great mind oncn said a master of logic
and iMigllsh, but who denied the great.
Hume oi vnrieiian religion when brought
to the grave of a loved one a even we I
come today: "Life is a narrow vale be
tween the cold and barren peaks of two
eternities. We strive In vain to look be
yond the heights. We cry aloud, but our'
only answer is the echo of our waiting I
cry. From the vohfless Hps of the unre- ;
plying dead there comes no word: but In
the night of depth hope sees a star, and i
listening love can hear the rustle of a
wing. it is that sentiment, my brothers,
that animates tin as we meet here today;
that makes us say to those absent brothers
whose names shine forth before us, nnd
who have passed Into the great unknown,
"There Is no death, It Is simply a separa
tion." We can still feel for a brief mo
ment today the warm clasp of the hand
now forever cold. For a tew moments wn
with our friends, can again stand within
the light of that kindly eye, stand within
tho beam of that smile that in life meant.
no much to us. Again we hear from their
cold lips the words of cheer; agHln we
may look bark over those acts In their
lives that made us honor, revere and re
spect them, and say to them:
At the fireat White Gale.
"You have simply been blessed by' pre
ceding lis in that great' caravan that has
gone before. We are still in the turmoil
of life. It is true, seeing much of its lieau
tles. but also compelled to witness Its
ugliness: you have already won your re
ward. As weary pilgrims you have laid
down your burdens at the great white gate.
Willie we struggle, you have reached the
fruition of the hope which we now ex
press to you individually contained In the
lines: s
"liutlA thee more stately mansions. Oh my
soul,
As the swift seasons roll.
Let each dome mightier than the last
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more
vast.
Till thou at length are free.
Leaving our wornout Blicll on life's un
resisting sea."
Wo come to you today, my friends, the
one day of the year, without any mes
sage. We come to you with no lesson to
teach but the lesson of' hearts overflow
ing with love, veneration and reverence for
those who have gone before. In song wo
speak to you of a glorious resurrection.
In brief speech we eulogize the absent
brothers, we bid them goodby, and wish
them the happiness, the Joy, contained In
the flnal Christian's prayer, Requlescat In
Pace, and say In spirit to those brothers
who have gone before, we meet you In
spiritual fraternity again today, and in
dulge the hope that Is predominant in our
hearts:
"He will lie patiently thj-re in his place.
His struggles a part of his life and story;
Till sometime the morning will flash In. his
face. , ,
And he will awake to its gladness and
glory."
Mamie m Striking; Feature.
The music, vocal and Instrumental, was
a very Important part of the morning's
exercises. It was furnished by the fol
lowing persons:
The Charles Hagenow String Quartet.
Lincoln, Neb. Charles Hagenow, first vio
lin; William Quick, second violin; Mrs.
Charles Hagenow, viola; Miss Lillian
Eiche, violoncello.
The Klks Quartet C. R. Miller, first
tenor; C. P. Morlarty, second tenor; H. V.
Burkley. baritone; T, F. Swift, basso.
Miss Blanche Sorenson, mezxo soprano.
First Presbyterian Church Quartet Miss
Louise Jansen, soprano; Miss Anna Bishop,
contralto; W. 8. McCune, tenor: Fred O.
Ellis, baritone.
Miss Corlnne Paulson, accompanist.
The two number by the string quar
tet were played with an exquisite touch
and the measures suited excellently the
spirit which possessed the audience. The
Elks quartet sang "The Vacant Chair" out
of sight of the hearers and the rendition
was tender and sweet in Us spiritual Bote.
The quartet of ths First Presbyterian
church had been loaned to the Elks for
the day and was a happy selection by the
lodge. Both numbers given by the quar
tet, the "Te Deum," by Kotschniar, and
"Abide With Me," by Housley. wera treats
of sacred song voiced by singers almost
perfectly trained to sanctify the hope of
llngerlngly mournful friendship.
Miss Blanche Sorenson's boIo. "The Home
Land." was soulful and full of expression,
the minor chord touching to a degree.
"8how Me Thy Ways, O Lord,", ' Miss
Louise Jansen'a solo, was sung In a manner
to bring out all the beauty of Us phrasing,
and the rising young contralto was i In
splendid voice. Fred t. Ellis Is deserving
of equal praise for his ' selection from
Elijah. "It is Enough."
The lodge members joined In singing their
opening ode and the Doxology. being
assisted In the hitter by the singers behind
the scenes.

"The greatest gift which could come to
Omaha this Christmas Is not commercial
prosperity, not the feeding and clothing of
the poor, not civic righteousness, but a
religious movement as has swept over Min
neapolis," snid the Rev. Newman Hall Hur
dlck at the Young Men's Christian associa
tion meeting Sunday afternoon. In speaking
of the recent revival In the Minnesota city.
Mr. Burdtck was In Minneapolis during
the campaign and had charge of one of the
districts Into which the city was divided.
He described it as one of the most remark
able and comprehensive religious move
ments ever organized. It was the first time
In the history of the city that loo many
people wanted o go to church, nd during
the last few days of the campaign more
people were turned away than could be
admitted to the meetings.
One hundred and four churches, all re
ligious organizations outside of the
churches, laymen, twenty visiting evangel
ists and eighteen gospel singers united in
a seventeen days' campaign. Six hundred
meetings of all kinds were held in factories,
theaters, homes, streets, saloons, hotels,
churches, depots and shops at all hours of
the day and night. Meetings were held at
tli theaters after the performances, at
which half of the audiences stayed and
tho other people who came could not begin
to get Into tho building. Many conversions
were made In saloons. The dally attendance
at the meetings was estimated ail the way
from 35,ooo to lnn.ono people.
No attempt was made to estimate the
number of conversions, but Mr. Burdick
said it ran Into the hundreds and even,
perhaps. Into the thousands. ,
The meetings cost the city of Minneapolis
W.OOO, a guarantee fund for which amount
was subscribed by business men. Most of
the money was collected at the meetings.

the cross. From the day He rose from
the dead He has been constantly with us.
He is now in our midst as much as He was
then, ln the same body and soul as when
He gave his life for our salvation. He la
the second person of the Holy Trinity, the
second person In the Image of God. He Is
the substantial person. Men who saw Him
then saw what appeared to be a mere man.
His divinity was hidden In His mere hu
manity. The night before the Passover
He gathered .His disciples together and
they realised it was a bappy moment spent
with the Master, and that Ha was toon to

CROWE WILL FACE JURY TODAY
Twelve Men to Try Offlcer Jaekon's
Alleged Assailant to Be Drawn
from Sew Panel.
When Judge . Day opens the criminal
branch of the district court this morning
a new Jury panel of I'M, men will report.
The firbl hour of the time when a new
panel reports Is always taken up in tha
hearing of excuses, statutory or Imaginary,
so that the drawing of tho Jury to try
Pat Crowe, whose case comes up today,
will not begin until 11 o'clock or after.
The charge on which Crowe goes to trial
now is that of shooting Police Offlcer A.
H. Jackson with Intent to kill. What the
line of defense will be Attorney James P.
English refuses to say. He evidently in
tends to let the state uncover all of its
case before framing up the exact form
which the defense will take. Mr. English
has been giving a good desl of careful
attention to all the circumstances sur
rounding the nhooting and expresses con
fidence In his ability to secure an acquittal.
It will be recalled that while ho was In
Jail ln Butte Pat Crowe was credited with
saying he did i-ol shoot until it became
necessary to do ho ln self defense. His
brother-in-law. Murphy, while not admit
ting that the man who shot and ran away
was Crowe, has also stated that the police
men fired first. Since coming to Omaha
Crowe has kept bis mouth shut concern
ing what occurred on the night when Jack
son was shot, but It is kuown that ' his
relatives and friends have not been Idle.
As a consequence the state is expecting
a stiff defense, but as to whether this will
take the form of an alibi or of a plea In
self defense is unknown and will not de
velop until the state has closed its cam.

MASSACRE AT LIENCHOW MAY BE IGNORED
Chorea Authorities Will Be Careful
Not to Give Chinese Wrong; View
of the Work of Amer
ica Missionaries.
i
When the allocking news came from
Llench&w. China, of tha recant massacre
j ,nc" f ve ITcsbyterlan missionaries, in
Omaha as well as elsewhere a persistent
I feeling arose that the Hoard of Foreign
Missions, which has charge of the mis
sionary work and workers abroad, would
jiemand of the United States government
that It make a demand for some sort of
action looking toward an indemnity or re
dress. But it transpires that instead of
making such a demand the board 1 and
eminent authorities of the church Incline
toward the position that the best Interests
of all will be subserved by taking no
action of this kind.
The board has sent out a printed state
ment on the subject, a copy of which has
been received by a member of The Bee
staff from a friend who is high In the
councils of tho Presbyterian church. While
this statement does not commit the board
, to a flnal dPtrrmlnatlon , tho mAUrr
j or dPmandlnK Rctlo ltB t(,or show(1 th.
sentiment against that course and this is

I 1 do not Kather from what the board
says that Its Intentlon-not to claim dam
ages Is flnal. 1 think Its intention is to
avoid giving the natives the Impression
' t,,at tne """"'onary forces are grasping
j nd mercenary, and it will perhaps feel
I ,nat " can "frord to le"n f" ln the other

In treatment of such a people It Is
j certainly undesirable to give the Impres-
8lon ln(lt lttfy mRy P'ay fast and loose
with tho rights of, people and with life.
but I quite sympathise with the spirit
of the board not to antagonise the natives
by what might appear a vindictive course."
The board is still not ready to admit, as
shown by its circular statement, that the
alleged official report filed with the gov
ernment at Washington saying the mis
sionaries precipitated the riot by remov
ing sacred objects from the Chinese temple,
is true. It Insists there must be another
theory, saying: '
"It seems highly Improbable that mis
sionaries who had lived so long at Lien
chow and who were so thoroughly re
spected by the people whom they were
' benefiting, could have committed an overt
