"Labor, to keep alive that spark of celestial fire called conscience," Washington' own motto, which he carried In hi mind constantly, was the Injunction of Chief Justice Reese lo the member of the Nebraska legislature who met In Joint session In representative hall thla afternoon to honor the memory of the nation' first president. "On yonder flat are "forty -six bright stars, one. of which represents Nebraska, Let every vote you cast tend to make the star of Nebraska the brightest star of them an," were the concluding words of an ad dress by Governor Ashton C. Shallenberrer. The legislature transacted no business today other than to pay tribute to the memory of the father of his country. In addition to speeches by the chief justice of the supreme court and the governor of the elate. Representative Dan Nettleton. Senator Frank Ransom and Senator George Wiltse made short though Impressive talks. K-ach drew from the life of .Washington some Inspiration for a higher citisenshlp; a greater patriotism, a deeper love for countiy. Together Uiey told the story of the great obstacles Washington overcame before he finally and forever established "a government of the people, by the peo ple and for the people." They told how, though born an aristocrat, of wealthy par ents, he cast his lot with the poor, strug patriots who sought to free themselves from the yoke of taxation without repre sentation. Washington had no Incentive to cause hint to take the course he did ether than a choice between right and wrong, "One of the greatest things Washington did hi my opinion," said Senator Wiltse, "was when be was called before the con tinental congress and ordered to take chary of the army. He replied, I will keea a etrict aooount of my expenses and that is all yon will have to pay.' " "This country has degenerated elnce thin," continued Senator Wtltse.

Jndge Reese reviewed Washington's early career, showing that the father of the country was not a person of education, hut he had attended school taught by a man named Hobby, who had been brought to America, as were other school teachers, as a semt-olBve. Then he had taken a course at Williams college. He went out by him self and surveyed large tracts of land with out compensation In order to Improve his education. The house in which the school was taught was built of lo- In the middle of a fte!d In which tobacco had been grown so long the ground was not productive. Beneath the floor of the building the pigs rooted and slept. Dan Nettleton of Clay county was the first speaker and he waa Introduced by Lieutenant Governor Hopewell as a "vfteran of the rlvtl war; a veteran citizen cf Nebraska, and a veteran member of the legislature." Mr. Nettleton reviewed the historical fact that when the tide of Immigration set In from the old country to the new there were two distinct classes, though of the una blood. One class hoped to build up in Vir ginia an aristocracy such as existed in England, an aristocracy which was loval to the king and which recognised the Church of EnRland. The ether clsss came to America for the purpose of worshiping . God according to the dictates of their own conscience. Washington's parents belonged to the aristocratic class.. But when the crisis canie Washington cast his lot with the sons of the Puritans, deciding solely on the question. "Has England the right to ta us without our consent ? In conclu sion Mr. Nettleton said. "He died physic ally, but the heritage be left is ours today. This heritage was the bright star which gave the courage and hope that saved the union and caused our flag to go unchal lenged In every state In the union." Senator Ransom recited the many obsta cles Washington had to overcome la estab lishing this government as it is today, and he recited how the constitution of the Vnlted States was written behind closed doors while the newsnapera and the dema gogues and the politicians abused and vili fied and found fault. Washington's mem ary today was being honored all over the world. Not aa a general, but because Wash ing stood for a higher citisenshlp and for liberty. Senator Wiltse told the story of "The Man Without a Country," and used the occasion to urge a better patriotism and a better citisenshlp. "The name of Wash ington always suggests patriotism." Will IP and Loan: Itrk. Governor Shallenberger congratulated the legislature that It put aside its routine work of the day and gave the time to doing honor to the memory of Washington. The good patriot, he said, must have enshrined In his heart the love of the country's great mrs and heroes. The governor reviewed the wonderful development of the country since the days of Valley Forge, and particularly this western country of which Nebraska Is a part. He told bow Jefferson bought the Louisiana territory, his commission on pay ing S6.0u0.0uu more than the S10.ott0.0u0 first agreed upon by Nspoleaa, and how this co mm,! salon apologised to the president for agreeing to the higher price. The public records at Washington, he said, showed ' that cut of thla publle land purchased the government had realised la sales more than S30a.0u0.MB and out of h had bean caned eleven great states.

ZL Special TMe gran.) Judge Kinkaid Is not so sure about his bill reducing the improvement require ments within the territory of the so-called Kinkaid act. which he introduced early in the Sixtieth congress, and in a letter be is , sending to his constituents n the Sixth j Nebraska district he frankly admits he is ; in doubt about the timeliness of the meas ure. Evidently Kinkaid has heard from home, for he states that there is enouxh difference of opinion existing as ta the advisability of securing a rwJuctlon of Im provements under the one-section act to dffer pressing the bill any furthrr nntll lie is definitely Informed as to the propor tion of sentiment for and aealnFt the reduc tion of the value of Improvements. Representative Kinkaid state that In order to secure consideration of any amend ment to the rne-sectlon act the value of Improvement would have to be fixed as high as cents and possibly at 75 cents per acre tind he therefore calls upon his constituents for light and help that accept able legislation may be enacted. In the meantime the Kinkaid bill, which sought to fix the value of Improvements at cents per acre, "sleeps the sleep that knows no waking." Chaaae la Court Dates.

The Sen ator presented the objections to the com missioner of Indian sf fain. Today the commissioner stated with reference to the matter that no decisive ar tion will be taken by the Indian office until it has obtained a perfectly clear understanding of the points Involved, that Is, distance, condition of roada, costs of wagon transportation, liquor traffic, etc. The commissioner stated farther that no change would be made un less it. was clearly demonstrated that the transfer would result In some advantage to the government and that it would not op erate to the disadvantage of the Indian teamsters while engaged In the transporta tion of supplies for the Rosebud agency and school.

With homeward bound pennants streaming far behind them, twenty-eight bands play ing the Star Spangled Banner and aalutlng cannon roaring tribute to the president of the United States, the battleship fleet of Lthe American navy ended its world's cruise here today. After steaming in review of the president, whose eagle-crested flag of blue was at the mast of the cruiser yacht, Mayflower, the sixteen bsttleehlps flnslly cast anchor in the same fairway of Hamp ton Roads whence they stsjted fourteen months ago on the notable Journey of eS.OflO miles. The Joy of home coming was writ ten upon the face of every Jackey and of ficer on board the sixteen ships. The long cruise, the visits to many of the most famous ports of the world, the homage that has been paid to the fleet by every nation favored on the calling list, have been sources of Intense Interest to everyone aboard the famous vessels, but unques tionably there was no scene in all the world to compare In beauty with the fa miliar landmarks picked up by the battle fleet as it steamed triumphant, self-reliant and efficient force, through the Virginia cape today 'and entered the hospitable waters of Chesapeake bay and Hampton Roads. The day of the home coming dawned with prospects of weather as fair as the cloud less dsy In December, 1W7. on which the fleet set sail, an overhanging shadow of gray clouds showing clearing streak of red and blue to the eastward at sunrise. Just before 7 a. ra.. however, a fog bank sud denly shut down and set the whistles and bells of the many craft In the roadstead screeching and tolling their notes of warn ing. The fog lifted again within an hour, but left a promise of a gray day which was anything but attractive to the thous snds upon thousanda of people gathered here from all parts of the country, and who were either afloat or lining the shore of the water front today to help In the Joyous acclaim to the home-coming ship and men. Booasla; Cane Oses Day. The boom of the sunrise gun echoing over the moat of picturesque Old Fortress Monroe marked the beginning of a day that added another chapter of thrilling beauty and intereat to the historic wxters of Hamp ton Roae. first made famous by the battle of the Monitor and the Merrimac. It re quired a vivid Imagination to look back today over a span of forty odd years to picture the fury of that deadly conflict be tween the two first Ironclads of their day and to compare their tiny strength with the modern battleship of the class of the Con necticut. In thu battleship and cruiser squadrons that filiid by the Mayflower today and saluted the president' flag at the main of the graceful little cruiser yacht there were represented 4JO.I90 tons of wster dis placement. Every battleship in commis sion in the navy had a place In the long line. There were twenty of the heavily belted vessels, fifteen being among the orig inal alxteen that sailed away fourteen month ago. the only vessel missing from the line today being the Alabama. She came home with the Maine last October and both of these ablps had the distinction of going all the way around the world, even if they were excluded from th fleet itself The Maine served today as flagship of the (Continued on Xlntk Pass-) V-fef RURVL PREPARATIONS FOR THE AUT0M0B1UST MRS.

Murphr, one of the orators at the "mas meeting Sunday. "There was trouble In the sir. South Omaha has been getting resdy for the in solent Greeks for n long time, snd I will Bay this much, that while the mass meet ing was called to appoint a committee to make an lnvestigstlon. looking to the handling of the Greek question, and in response to petitions signed by the best business men of South Omaha, the crowd which assembled really Beared me. "I did not know feeling would run so high when I waa asked to prexide or when I spoke. But the people were very In dlgnant and I noticed the atmosphere wns fsirly rent and the city hall shook when the crowd cheered the words of the speak ers.

"To my knowledge I did not uiter a word to incite anyone. I did mention the name of Oficer Lower)', and perhaps I should not have done that. But I feel strong on this subject and feel that any city must throttle a clannish colony of foreigner who resort bo often to the knife and the pistol when we try to keep them in obedience to our laws. "The fact that the trouble did not begin until almost two hours after the meeting Is evidence to me that the riot did not start at the citicens' mass meeting. I do not personslly believe that a great number of those who smashed in the ft'-res of the Greek were even at the meeting. I hap pen to know the boy who threw the first brick into a plate glass front and I am quit ure he was not there. It was no ordinary crowd of hotheads.

That the city of South Omaha will be called on to pay at least $25,000 for property destroyed by rioters and other losses resulting from the clos ing of business houses, is the declara tion of property owners, as well as Greeks, who lost heavily. Last night there wra no symptom of a renewal of the acenes of the previous night. One of the principal reasons was the fact there were no Greeks re maining in the city, one of the leaden of that nationality from Omaha stating to the police that the last one left the city before dark. Another reason was that the sober second thought of the people had assumed sway. Salt Mast B Brsaght. "I do not see anything else for the prop erty owner to do except bring suit against the city," said Thomas J. O'Neill, who is agent for some of the property destroyed.
