Callahan, convicted of .grave desecration at Prospect Hill cemetery, F L. Weaver, his attorney, had filed an affidavit by Mra. Harry Crosa, daughter of Henry K. Bnilth, owner of the lot upon which the desecration waa alleged to have taken plure. She says the lot had been in the possession of their family- for thirty five years and It waa at her request th gravs in 14 was opened. Whatever wa done, she ys. was done at her direction Affidavits by Callahan and Mr. Weaver tell of a visit to the cemetery after th trial by the attorneys and aome of th witnesses. It is claimed James C Clark the main witness for the state, was Unatil to point out definitely the grave ha testt fled had been desecrated, and that his daughter, who was also an Important wlt- ut.a, pointed out a lot belonging to Allen Root. Tha argument on the motion for a new liiol was kit tut next Saturday, The t'nlon Labor carnival, which has boon held during the last ten days in Omaha, was brought to a moat successful close Friday night at the Auditorium, when large number turned out to hear, two peakers of national reputation, Frank I MulhoIIand, attorney general of the In ternational Machinists' union, and Miss MargRret Iialey president of the Chicago Federation of" teachers. Feather John Wil liams acted as chairman' of the meeting. T come as a lawyer, not as a machinist to discuss the 'labor situation." said Mr. MulhoIIand, who spoke on the three phases of (he labor question:- "What Is orgsniscd Labor in this . country T . Why : Is; it? and what would It seek to accomplish?" Mr. MulhoIIand llkcnrd union labor to a wheel, with the American Federation ; ef Labor at the hub; tha spokes made up the Internationals, the-felloes, of. the local organisations, and the iron tire represented by every member of organlxed labor. 1 Trend of Modern Conditions. ' ''The tire of a wheel is the source of its strength, and a wheel can be no stronger than-each of its parts. . There bm now more than t. 000.000 people In the great wheel 6f 'UWOrt labor', with each part dependent upon the other. . During the last fifty years we have been building, machines which" have been wiping out the. capital stock of all craftsmen. Machinery has been Improved until now a few women and chil dren can do the work which it would take an army of men to perform under the old system. ' The association of capital and ths bulldjng of labor-saving machinery has placed a gulf with capital on ths one side and labor on the other. . The laborer today rarely has an opportunity to state Ms grievance to the man who pays him tils wages.. An executlvs - head is placed In charge of a factory almply to produce dividends. Tha association of labor Is due solely to the association Of capital. i "An individual employs has no power to demand any redress from an employer, so the great laboring classes are simply bind ing themselves together to get better recog nition." . Mr. MulhoIIand pictured the advantages to be gained for labor by getting good wages and shorter hours. He spoke of tho hardships of women and children who are forced to work long hours In the sweat shops. "Labor wants a little better wage and a little shorter day to take the children out f the factories, to secure for women equal pay with men when they perform the same service, machinery protected by safeguards and a compulsory school law." Teachera and Labor Unions. "A representative of the Chicago Feder ation of Teachers sits with the Chicago Federation of Labor," said MIbs Margaret Haley. "That Is the place the teachers be long, as I verily believe, both from prln- Iple and expediency. We have learned from sad experience that the monled inter ests are not caring for ths 'welfare of the teachera, and If we have any friends at all It la among the laboring classes. The public schools are not in the hands of the people whose! children are In the schools, but are controlled by the people who are grinding Out the. Ilfeblood of the people of this country. The more children In a school room the less taxss for the tax-dodgers to shirk.' The teachers of - Chicago had to choose between the people who grind them down and the peopln whose children are In school." Miss Haley told of the securing of the pension law In Illinois, by which the teach ers made up a fund by laying aside a per cent of their salaries each month. 8he said that the teachera of Chicago had not had a raise in salary for twenty years up to the time they organised, and that they had now learned to work together. "The public school system of the country Is becoming a factory system, and this fs no accident. The orders come from the captains of Industry. Industrial educational schools are organised to teach the scholars In their youth that they may combat with union labor." t , : immmnmifi'tH I 'll!

Our government will not permit the stars and stripes o be used as a com mercial trade mark. Why, then, ' aa a Christian nation do we complacently per mit the desecration of that symbol more sacred than any flag the holy cross on which our Lord was crucified? I refer to the custom yearly becoming mors frequent among our department stores of using the cross as a decorative figure In their display windows at Easter tide. ' This is Oood Friday, the day on which our Lord was crucified, a day set apart for Special devotions to bring before our minds more clearly the agony of Calvary, of which the cross is forever the emblem. Oa this, the most solemn morning of t)e year, one of our big, progressive depart ent stores flaunts gaily In the eyes of psssersby a huge violet-bedecked cross, with arms coquettlehly askew, planted in a bed of flowers and surrounded bt the most festive specimens of the ' milliners' and coatumera' art. One's breath almost stops at the desecration. Is it not an echo of the heartlessness and indifference of the spectators on that first Oood Friday, which wrung from the heart of the Master that cry, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do?" Will not those to whom the crosa Is dear, Ir. memory of Him who died thereon, stretching forth Hia arms of love to th?. whole world, that whosoever belleveth on Him shall not perish, but have everlast ing life," use their utmost efforts to atop this irreverent use of that most sacred emblem which throughout Christendom represents the Redeemer of the world' ' Respectfully, A CHURCHWOMAN. The Water Works. OMAHA, April 15,-To the Editor ict.Thi . Bee: Every cltlsen favored Omaha owner ship of the water plant,' if we could hava). gotten it for Its estimated worth, according to our expert, towit: $3,500,60)1; but to have a court decree u the plant at about a,x millions of dollars has staggered the people. Only absolute repairs,' to prevent a' break down, have been m(tt by the present wator company- for ' three' years, and" a's: the ae preclatlon ir4 wear and tear Is about I per cent per annum, which on the appraised value would be $300,000 per annum, or ahut $900,000 for three years. It Is easy to see that It will cost about $700,000 for new mains, ' machinery, extensions, new' pipes, repairs to settling basins, etc. o we shall be obliged to borrow $7,000,000, at tot less than 44 per cent per annum, making $116,000. In terest annually. The annual operating ex' penses and depreciation will be several hundred thousand dollars. The question will be, not a reduction in water rates, bul how to prevent an increase in water r,cs. It is true we will save $100,000 on fire hydrant rentals, and will take In asveral hundred thousand dollars In sales o( water to consumers, but the deficit by reason of the-high price paid and bonds issued . must' be met either by water sales or by making, up the deficit .from the general fund ac count, ; Whether the bond could be sold by sub-' scriptlon by exempting them from taxation or not is hard to say. It would be a .novel scheme to issue bonds In flenomlnatjens of $100 to fl.UOO to be sold to the people cf Ne braska at par. It would be a safe Invest ment, and keep the Interest at home at least.
