beg as today with the accidental shooting
of aa Italian wornan by her nephew, who la
trleken with remorse at the death of hla
aunt ahot himself. The dead:

them.
When Fucarlno discovered what had hap
pened he made a dash for the revolver,
declaring ha also would kill himself, but

BAN FRANCISCO, July 4. President 8.
J. Small of the Telegraphers' union. It Is
stated, has temporarily withdrawn th

believed to have been to go on strlx
within ths next few days. President Small,
It Is aald, -haa telegraphed th union, where
he has mailed orders to walk out, to take
no action until further advised. This
action, it is believed, waa taken pending
the arrival at Chicago of Labor Commis
sioner Nelll from Washington and the out
come of his efforts there to prevent a i
general atrihe. It is taken as an Indica
tion that, deaplt the apparent hopeless
deadlock between the telegraph companies
and th telegraphers, the chance of a .son

seems to be a slight concession, but
whether sufficient to open up a way for

There ts no likelihood that the strike
will be extended along the coast." said
President Small.

We are placed here and must run our

Whll we care for ourselves, we must Also

so far as we are able, help othera who

show that we have fallen short of the

laws already enacted shall prove to be

NEW TORK. July 4. A brief message
from William J, Bryan waa one of the
feature of th celebration of the Fourth
of July of the Tammany society today.
Mr. Bryan waa one of 'the guests Invited
to help the society celebrate but was un
able to attend but sent a message from
Lincoln In which he said:
I trust your celebration will Increase
the enthusiasm of the. New Tork democ
racy and direct attention to the fact that
the econorulo questions now before the
country the trust question, the tertff ques
tion and the railroad auestlon all Involve
the same Issue, vis: Whether the gov
ernment shall be administered in the Inter
est of a few favorites or In behalf of the
whole people.
Other questions will enter Into the cam-
fialgn but these questions emphasise trie
mportanra of applying to the government
the Jeffersonlan doctrine of "equal rights
i to all and special privileges to none."
(signed) WILLIAM J. BRTAN.
Tn Tammany exercises consisted of the
. th declaration of Independence
and speeches by Congressman Bourke
Cockran of New Tork, Henry L. Ralney
of Illinois, and James M. Brlnson of
Colorado.
Congressman Ralney attributed to Presi
dent Roosevelt ths design of destroying
state lines and state rights.
"The policy of the executive,", aald he,
"now seems to be to put the power we
thought belonged to the states 1n the
hands of congress, and then get congress
to surrender to the executive." ' '
Mr. Ralney declared that it waa evident
Mr. Roosevelt Intended to be one of the
candidates for president next year and
said his endorsements of "favorite sons"
were Ilk so many nails In th coffins.
Th speaker in concluding, said:
Washington was too big a man to ac
cept a third term, Jefferson waa too big
a man to accept a third term, but the
present occupant of the white house Isn't
big enough to refuee it. With the danger
of a third term staring us In the face,
we are beginning to look around for a man
who stands upon this declaration of Inde
pendence, and out west we offer you such
a roarr. There ta not money enough locked

crowd of almost 10,0X1 people at the Chau
tauqua assembly here this afternoon. Gov
ernor Joseph H. Folk of Missouri deliv
ered an addreea.on lli Fourth of July.
He said In parti 1
I believe ' the real work of the next
few years Is to be done In the statf-s.
These sre the treat experimental station
of representative government and" they
hivn been mniit nearlected. The stales are
supreme In thetr sphere, limited Only by
their bn constitutions and by the powers
whtrh they have delegated to the federal
)mnm)lt't , the trn.lency to centralis
pWWI, )n the federal government, which
lias been given such an Impetus of late,
tnere Is danger to our Institutions and the
Integrity and dignity of the states so
n.c81irr to the preservation of the Ideas
0f rovernmont that were crystallised in
the formation of the republlo. Nowhere
Is thlB encroachment on the rights of the
state more maiked than In the wholesale
nullification of state laws by federal Injunc
tion without hearing and before trial.
The result Is, unless the consent of a
railroad can be obtained to pending legls-
or federal, declaring the statute uneonstl-j
might as well be killed as to be chlor'-l
of ormed by injunction until their vitality
Is rone.
The people of Missouri aro not preju
diced seatnat railroads as such, and the
same sentiment of ijustlce which brought
the freight rate law and the two cent
fare law Into being will cauae their repeal
If they are found to be unfair. But the
peopl of Missouri object to a fedoral court
despotically entolnlng the state from en
forcing Ita law before they have been
declared Invalid.
"This Is merely a sample of what Is
going on all over the country. If these
conditions continue, as they will w!thn,ut
a vigorous protest from those who believe
In the rhrhta of states to control thetr
local affairs. Mate sovereignty will soon
be merely a' theory. This is the greatest
nation in the world great because It Is
an - "Indisoluble union of Independent
states."
Let us keep It so, for Its decline will
commence when the self-government of the
states, the source of Its power, Is de
stroyed. STREET FIGHT IN BROOKLYN

auspices of th Thomas Jefferson Memor

Hilary Herbert is the acting president.
A military parade reviewed by Governor

great-great-great-grandson of Thomas

other patriotic sonirs by the chorus of
children preceded the addresses of. Gov
ernor Hughes and Dr. Wilson.
The "Star Spangled Banner," rendered

exercises Of the day.
----''tit VlWnn's Address.
Individual accountability for the acti
ti. i,. ..t.oi. tin urrbst and Imprison
ment of corporation heads Instead of the
fining or dissolution of corporations them
selves Is the romedy for the monopolistic
tendencies and Che unlawful practice of
modern Industries, urged by Woodrow
Wilson, president of Princeton university.
In an address at the Jamestown exposition
today.
"One really responsible man In Jail."
he said, "one real originator' of the
achemen and transactions which are con-,
trary to th public Interest, legally lodged
In the penitentiary would be worth mora
than a thousand corporations mulcted In
fines. If the reform Is to be genuine and
permanent."
What this country needs, Mr. Wilson set
forth, is not government ownership of rail,
roads, etc., but laws that will attack and
punish presidents snd general managers
of railroads, for svaalon and violations
of the statutes. Stock . manipulations, he
calls "sheer thefts," and ssys they should
ba punished as such. Failure to do so. In
his mind. Is Ilk overlooking; highway rob
beries. J
"Every corporation," . th educator
stated, "la' personally directed either by
some on .dominant person , or by sosna
group of persons. ' Somebody In particular
M' respons tb foT ordering or sanctioning
very illegal act committed by its agents
or officers; but neither our law of personal
damage nor our criminal law has sought
to seek the responsible persons otit and
hold them accountable for ths acts com
plained of. We have never attempted such
statutes. We Indict corporations themselves,
find them guilty of Illegal practices, fine
thtm and leave the Individuals who devise
and execute the Illegal acts free to discover
new evasions."
Such acts eould be passed, and ' should
be. If we are to better our Industrial condi
tions, Mr. Wilson believes. Unless some
thing of this nature Is done and don
quickly, he fears socialism will result.
Eseaplagr Socialises.
"It Is only tn this way." he said, "that we
can escape socialism. Unless we can single
out ths individual again and make him
one mora th subject and object of law we
shall have to. travel still further upon the
road of government regulation whloh we
have already traveled so far, and th road
leads to stat ownership."
President Wilson says It Is Just as absurd
to Indict or dissolve corporations for of.
tenses against the public as It would be to
arrest and confiscate automobiles because
their owners killed pedestrians. If th In
dividual Is made responsible he is con
vinced th difficulty will be solved.
It is estimated that 30,000 people were on
th exposition grounds during ths dsy.
A temporary organisation of the as
sembled descendants of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence was effected
this afternoon and adjournment was then
taken until tomorrow, when permanent or.
ganlxatlon will be completed.

WASHINGTON, July 4. Bulletin TI of
the census bureau presents the statistics
of th iron and steel Industry and of
the tin and terne plate Industry for
he census of manufactures of 1905. Bot',
reports were prepared by Story B. I.add
under the supervision of William M. Steu
art, chief statistician for manufactures.
In 1S05 ther were active blast furnaces
In twenty states. Pennsylvania Is still
far In advance of the other states aa a
producer of pig Iron. Ohio, Illinois and
Alabama follow tn the order named. All
but three of the states which had more
than two blast furnace establishments In
1905 reported Increases In pig Iron pro
duction. Pennsylvania produced on-half
of the Bessemer pig Iron, nearly three
fourths of the low phosphorus, nearly
three-fourths of the basic, over one-fifth
of the foundry, more than one-hnlf of the
forge, over three-fifths of the splegelelsen,
all of the ferromanganese, nearly one
third of the direct castings and relatively
small amounts of the remaining grades
malleable Bessemer, white and mottled,
and miscellaneous grades, and ferroslllcon.
The number of active steel works and
rolling mills for which separate reports
were received waa 415. a decrease of twenty-three
from the number In 1900.' The
capital Invested in these establishments
was $709.1 30,4, an Increase of 60.5 per
cent since 1900; the amount Invested In
Idle establishments was $21.21T.46. The
average number of wage earners and their
wages were, respectively, 107. 5S1. a gain
of 13.4 per cent, and $122,491. 993. a gain
or 19 8 per cent. The cost of materials
used was $441,204,432, snd the value of
products, $673,905,028; the gain was 13
per cent in both. The tot.il tonnage of
products was 18,216.039, an increase of
21.1 per cent, compared with an Increase
In the decade preceding of 101.6 per cent.
Pennsylvania continues to produce more
than one-half of the cast steel and rolled
Iron and steel products, its output
constituting E4 per cent of the total value,
compared with 55.7 per cent In 1900. This
stste reports one-half of all the employes
and expenses pertaining to the industry
and over one-half the capital. Ita pres
ent share of the steel making and roll
ing mill Industry' la even greater than
Its share of the blast furnace branch,
and exceeds by over $80,000,000 the total
product of steel works and rolling mills
for the entire country in 1810. Ohio
ranks second, Illinois third and New Tork
fourth.
AWAIT WORD FROM CONSUL
Japanese Regard Recent Action la
San Francisco as of Grave
Character.
TOKIO, July 4. The representation made
by the Japanese consul at San Francisco to
the municipal authorities of that city, In
relation to the action of the latter In re
fusing to renew the licenses of Japanese
employment agencies has not yet been re
plied to. This affair Is considered here as
being of far graver character than the at
tacks upon Japanese restaurants and sim
ilar antt-Japanes Incidents In Ban Fran
cisco, as It held that It concerns the last
ing personal . rights of "Japanese. -The re
ply of th Ban Francisco authorities to the
consul's representation is being awaited
with considerable impatience. Pending- this
reply no official action has yet been taken
by the Toklo government. . ' .
SAN FRANCISCO. July 4. United States
Attorney Devlin has received a letter from
Attorney General Bonaparte asking him
to make an investigation and report Im
mediately upon the action of th ' San
Francisco officials In refusing to grant
licenses to employment agencies conducted
by Japaneee. H at once began th In
vestigation and will make his report . ss
soon as possible. Referring to the suit
brought yesterday against th city in be
half of the proprietors of the Japanese res
taurant and bath house alleged to have
been wrecked by a mob on May 23, As
sistant City Attorney Baggett said:
"Th defense of tb city will be that
whatever injury waa don to the property
of the Japanese was don by two or three
persons before a mob, in th ' sens of th
law, had formed. Th city will also claim
that there was no riot, but will lay great
stress upon ths contention that the dam
age was done by a few persons before It
was possible for a mob to have collected."
START lit THE! ROLL OF ACCIDENTS
Three Aro Reported! Darlaa; IB-veal a a;
of tho Third.
As a sort sf prelude to th Fourth three
accidents were reported befor midnight
of the Id. Xt !:B5 o'clock Conductor
Frank McDermott was ahot in the left
knee by a bullet from a I2callber re
volver. He was going east in charge of
a park car and when at Twenty-fifth and
Cuming streets a number of boys wer
discharging fireworks. Ons of ths boys
discharged a revolver, aiming It at th
pavement, and the ball glanced and lodged
In th conductor's leg. He stopped his
car and gave chase to th boys, who ran
up an alley and disappeared. McDermott
proceeded on his trip as far as Huff's drug
stor at Twenty-ninth and Leavenworth,
where h was relieved. . He went Into
ths drug stor and pulled th bullet out
wtth his fingers, and after having th
wound dressed went home. Th bullet
produoed only a flesh wound.
Mrs. Mary T. Morrill, an artist with a
studio in the Paxton block, was riding on
a car about t o'olock and when near
Twenty-fourth and Parker streets a boy
had a Roman candle in action and aimed
it at th car. On of th balls of Are
struck Mrs. Morrill on ths right arm, set
ting ber dreas on fir aad burning bar
arm painfully. Bh proceeded to ber horn
at 142$ Grant street, where a doctor, was
called. Her burns are not dangerous.
As a Park line car was passing ths Her
Grand hotel at 11 o'clock It ran over some
torpedoes which had been placed on tn
track. A woman passenger became fright
ened and Jumped off th oar whll It waa
In motion. Bh was picked up by tb
conductor and passengers, apparently not
hurt, although crying from fright. Bh
refused to get on tb oar again and pro
ceeded on the rest of ber Journey afoot.
Street oar travel was precarious for
timid or nervous peopl last night. In
all parts of th city explosives wer
placed on th car tracks, and when cars
passed over them the affect was Ilk th
battle of Manila. Street car men eay th
worst place was near Krug park, as many
of the torpedoes placed on th track out
ther exploded wtth sufficient fore to
rats tb car wheels from the track.

Without Much Fuis.

City's People to Its Oaaawa

It was Indeed a glorious Fourth.
Omahans forgot their work and their trou
bles and went pleasure snaking, not un
mindful of the fact that the holiday was
meant to honor the nativity of the -nation.
Those who did not hear or read patriot lo
speeches, and In fact all who did, bought
for their boys firecrackers and thus pro
vided for themselves a continual reminder
of the noble fathers of th Declaration,
Had John Hancock and Samual Adams
been on earth they might well have been
proud of the patriotism of their country
men on the hanks of the Missouri.
Accidents? Of course there were acci
dents; there always are on the Fourth.
There were accidents to be regretted, but
the restrictions placed by the mayor and
police on the use of explosives kept their
number low. The havoc wrought by
powder was nothing like what it has been
In years when cannon crackers and pistols
were allowed free play.
The day befor the Fourth the Irre
pressible small . boy heard th story of
American freedom. After supper h
touched off a few firecrackers, enough to
last him from o'clock until about 10,
Just to see If they wer good. About i
o'clock on the morning of Independence
day he began celebrating In earnest. From
that hour until midnight th air was rent
by explosions of one sort or another.
Canes and small crackers smote the' sir
everywhere, but luckily for eyes and l.mb,
the fear of the law kept pistols and can
non crackers silent.
Maay Places to Celebrate.
Th real old-fashioned Fourth was cel
ebrated by a host at Florence, with all
the glories of fervid oratory, lemonade
and games. Manawa and Cut-Off lake
offered successful lure to many thousands,
both by day and nlghW with boating,
yachting, bathing and ths cool shade of
trees. Th parks of the city afforded
great pleasure to human hordes who
swarmed ths street cars to scatter them
selves In sylvan retreats. Pa Rourke's
ball toasers were out of town, so the fans
distributed themselves among a number
of minor games, attended th prlxe fight
at Cut-Off, watched th motor .cycle races

No sort of pleaaura was neglected. Th
steamer on the river was a merry placet
ESmwood park was full ef . picnickers;
golf and tennis held swsy at the Field and
Country and Happy Hollow cluba Gar
ages and' livery stables wer emptied of
th vehicles. Krug park was the play
ground of thousands. Lemonade and soda
water suffered on every sld.
Movement Waa General.
Street cars were taxed to their capacity
all day. Extras were put on early In th
forenoon to carry th crowds to suburban
resorts. Still more had to be used In th
evening to bring them back, for most of
them stayed out all day and all wanted
to start hom at once.
Mr. J. Fluvlus showed th good sld of
his makeup by stsylng In ths antipodes
and ths sun smiled pleasantly all day
whll th breeaea blew. Teg, It was a littl
hot, but not too hot to enjoy th celebra
tion. Fireworks at night ended it all. A fiery
glory lighted the regions of Lak Manawa
and Florence, and from all parts of Omaha,
South Omaha and Council Bluffs Roman
candle sent up their pretty balls and sky
rockets ascended.

PICNICS AT THS C1TY PARKS

Beaatlfal Shadetreea.
Th birds and th squirrels may know
nothing of the reason for ths celebration
of th Fourth of July, but those In th
parks of Omaha must have realised that
something unusual was working upon ths
sentiments of men Thursday from th
number who with common accord hastened
to th shad of th trees from th early
dawn to th going down of th sun.
Th first street car to Riverview park
carried a picnic party. This was a matt
and his wife, who one wore fortunste
enough to live on; a farm, but who had
failed to enjoy th dawn of th day In th
cool shad of th woods, to ths twitter of
the awakening bird, because th lowing
of th awakening cow called them to mora
prosaic pursuits, but they certainly en
joyed the day Thursday as did th thou
sands who followed them to th woods.
Riverview park draw th picnio crowd,
although Han scorn park was not far behind,
and even Elmwood park looked like It had
almost as many people as it could com
fortably contain. This appearance was de
ceitful, as ths park could have contained
many more and would no doubt have don
so wer communication easier between tha
park and the city. Several family parties,
unusually energetic, walked from the end
of tho Leavenworth street car line to th
park. Th larger number came In convry
ances. carryalls being the popular mode of
transportation, while at least one party
chartered tha hay rack of an accommo
dating farmer and piled men, women and
children on the sweet smelling clover for
a ride up the hill and down again to one of
th most beautiful natural parka In th
state. This party was chaperoned by Park
Superintendent Adams and Mrs. Adams.
There wer about twenty-five of all ages la
the crowd, and their experience was typical
of all. It was estimated that at least 100
family parties wer at Elmwood during th
day.
At Riverview park th number was estl
mated at about 3U fatrtly partlua, ranging
tn sis from two to forty people. The ani
mals were th center of attraction to a
large part of the Juveniles, but the older
picnicker were content to seek the dxpst
shade and rest, ,.
