' No wreck in South Omuha except where the building was fired, equals the wreck of the Cokorls restaurant, as the 'feeling Is-particularly strong against the proprietor. It Is claimed he has made more than $36,000 by dealing In Greek labor and Is responsible for bringing to South Omaha many of the most lawless and conscienceless of his fellow country men; that when reprimanded tor his con duct by officers he sbtngs Ms shoulders and laughs at American law. For this reason, the South Omahans say, Cokos was made to pay In a small way the penally of bring ing Oreek laborers to Omaha. He is known as the "banker" of the colony and estimated his losses as follows: Bakery at Thirtieth and. Q streets, $400; restaurant at 261 F street, about $1,600; grocery store, at Thir tieth and Q streets, (2,100; dally income cut off S0 per day. Demos Bros.' Lous Big.

The Altantic hotel, formerly the old Riley house, owned by Morris L. Goldenberg, near Twenty-rmn and O streets, was damaged to the extent of $250, while a stock of groceries and cigars owned by a Greek In the hotel, received about $100 worth of damage. The building fired at Thirty-third and Q streets, from which thrc Greeks were dragged by the rioters, is owned by Hugh Kelly.

Gus Nanos conducted a candy kitchen at 430, and It has been shaken up to the extent of about $200, while $1C0 will be required to replace the glass and fix tures which belonged to the building man aged by L.

The buildings belong to Jim Ferguson and one was rented to James Gianos for an all around "place" where the Greeks had a good time eating, drlklng and making merry. When it was attacked Mr. Fergu son came down and went In with the Greeks, keeping them In the back end and preventing them from shooting Into the crowd ss they wanted to do. From $100 to $1M will be needed to replace the loss to Gianos and his mysterious partner, Louis Caras, who has disappeared. Another building owned by Mr. Fergu son escaped with small Injury. It was occupied by Cnrls Papas and $50 will re place the broken glass. George Bakus conducted a hotel arid restaurant at 106 Twenty-sixth street. It was literally torn to pieces and found to contain a score of trunks which were thrown out the windows and scattered around the place, afterwards being picked up by the officers and piled. All the Greeks have disappeared and no one claimed the baggage Monday. The loas to Bakus and his guests will probably be $300 or mors. Greeks Co as I Pe-aee. 'Leave it to the law. That la rour nm. tection." This is the advice of Minister L. A. Koen Melas of Greece to his cnuntrvmn. in Omaha and South Omaha. He was ap pealed to In Washington by a telerm signed by N. J. Mandanls. -prominent la me local Ureek community n,i ,i oacK nia answer Immediately. Mandanls continued in communication with the minister and as a result Koro Menas may come to Omaha forthwith to give personal supervision to the affairs of his people. At 8 o'clock Monday morning Mr. Man danls, who Is general Interpreter for the Union Pacific and an Influential man among his people, addressed a crowd of over 1,000 Greeks that happened to congre gate at Sixteenth and Howard streets. counseling peace and order. 'The Greek community, whlrh i. , posed of practically all the Greeks ot Omaha and South Omaha, has $15,000 to provide i or those who went Ininr. whose property was destroyed," said I a. vokos. president or the society, at the morning meeting. "Those In trouble will be feoTand cared for and all who wish to leave Omaha will be provided with tickets If they have not money enough of their own." "I told my people what our minister had said do," said Mr. Mandanls. "I begged them to be calm, not to meet violence with violence, to keep coot and soon all would be over. I said, obey the law and It will protoct you. They were scared, of course but agreed to abide by the advice given them.'- - Mr. Mandanls called another meeting at Barlght's hall. Nineteenth and' Farnam streets, for t o'clock In the artemoon. when he made another address to his people. Five or ten leader of the Greek colony spoke at this meeting Among them were A. B. Cokos, pres ident of the local, Pan-Hellenio society; L. B. Cokos, secretary of the community; John BeahUas. treasurer of the commun ity, and Cosmos, a leader. "We know that the best people do not approve of this riot." said Mr. Mandanls "but we are disappointed to know that It ,was Incited by legislators, who are elected by the people to make laws. We do not oondone the crime that was committed by one of our nationality. We condemn it We wish he had not killed this officer But we cannot help It. All we can do Is to try and govern the rest ot our people and make them see the horror of his crime "When this riot broke out there were $.000 Greeks la Omaha and South Omaha, about 1.800 being In the latter city. We try to Control our people, but If ens foe wrong we don't believe the others, who are inne cent, should suffer for that one. The most are law-abiding. "We tried to have all our people leave South Omaha as soon as possible, and most ot them did. They came to Omaha and many left the city altogether. Moat of them will remain la the homes of the Omaha Greeks until all trouble Is past. We don not expect to give up our residences here and our people, we expect, will re sume their work In the packing houses. Mast Leave Paeklaa- Pleats. Greeks must go from the packing hou the packers don't care and claim they do not have a great number employed at the present time, probably 200 In all the plan la An attorney for the Cudahy Packing com pany Is suthority for the statement that trouble had been anticipated for some time snd the general policy of the company was to weed out the Greeks as fast as possible. Manager -Murphy said about fifteen re mained and were all employed In the beef killing room. He did not know whether this number would show up or not when killing started In the afternoon. bwui ana mo. saia iw would cover every Qroek In any department of the plant They had received no demand from anyone to discharge the Greeks, but were not feeling badly because many of the sons of ths mythological gods had not re turned to work In their house Monday morning. Armour Co. have few Greeks working In any of the departments and the same condition Is said to exist In the smaller plants. What the Greeks do Is a matter of mystery. Many of them are engaged In merchandising and trading. One Ilttje store on Q street near the viaduct was found to have four "proprietors." In "al most every, small shop from two to si are supported from the "profits." Police Are Prepared. South Omaha police were prepared for trouble Monday morning and detailed many extra oficers to the packing district to prevent trouble. But an unusual condition developed. While the Greeks had been thinned out and only a few appeared for work. It was noticeable that the "white" men had also disappeared. "They are asleep somewhere resting up after driving the Greeks out," said Chief Briggs, who was In the packing district early. -wnue i aid not aesire to take any chances on trouble, I did not- anticipate that the workers would make trouble at the packing houses. Most of them desire to hold their Jobs and know that a riot or any rough treatment administered to Greeks or any one else will not be toler ated around the big plants. I do not look for trouble at the packing houses now, nut I am afraid to have these Americans rest Ing up. If they rest all day today, they are apt to start In again this evening, Both officers and citixens believe the Grecian population of South Omaha has diminished by 60 per cent since Sunday noon and packers do not expect to have more than 100 working In the plants by Saturday night. Boy Shot ia the Lee Fred O'Mallin, Forty-ninth and Q streets was aaaea to tne list ot Injured. He Is a boy of t years and was shot In the leg opposite Armour & Co.'s office Sunday evening. Three duck shot struck him. They were discharged from a shotgun during the progress of the riot. He was attended by Dr. A. H. Koenlg, who extracted one of the shot which had lodged In the leg upon the larger bone below the knee. The In Jury was classed as slight Dr. John Koutsky reported that the girl he attended Sunday afternoon waa seri ously hurt, but as yet he has received no second call. He did not take her name, and no one seems to know who she was. It was thought she lived at Thirty-second and S streets, but people In that nelghbor- nooo dont know of the Injury. It is reported that Miss Mary Demos and her mother are both on the verge of In sanity from the fright and grief they en dured In the wrecking of their place of business at Twentyrfourth and L streets. The young women, Rena and Mary Demos. and the mother were there alone during the riot Several of the injured Greeks remain at the city Jail. Dr. W. J. McCrann, who at tended Frank Sweeney and Joe Gambie, who were wounded with bird shot reported no complications. He took shot out of three other boys from the same fusillade. They were very slightly hurt and he did not keep the names. GREEKS DEPLORE THE Ml'RDER Faad Will Be sabserlbed hr rl... for Ala of Officer's Widow. Deploring the wanton murder of Officer Lowery, the South Omaha policeman, by a Greek and declaring- that th orim w. committed by an Irresponsible man and that It could not be charged against the entire community, the Greeks of Omaha and South Omaha gathered In Barlght's hall. Nineteenth and Farnam streets, yes terday afternoon to denounce the murderer and decry his crime. The meeting was called for three rea sonsto deplore the crime, to allay any thoughts among the Greeks ot , rising against their persecutors, and to raise a fund for the widow of the murdered offi cer. The raisins; of money was deferred. however, to a second meeting to be held some time today. N. J. Mandanls presided and made the first address. Addresses ware also ri. Ilvered by Louis B. Ookos, president of the Greek colony. George Cosmas, John Bislls and Louis Brown, other officers of the colony, John Johnson and Peter Mat sukas. Let the Law Work. "Let the law take Its course, but don't you try to take the law Into your own hands," said Mr. Mandanls. "Remember your mother country, remember that no Greek In this community has ever before committed murder, while people of all other nationalities have; remember that nothing can be gained by heaping crime on crime, and remember that if the city can't pro tect your property that the city must pay for it "Our minister to this country telegrsphed me this morning to tell you men to keep cool and not to follow the example set by the mob of last night. Go back to your homes, stay there, respect the law, and everything will come out all right." The entrance of a representative of The Bee was welcomed with cheers by the Greeks crowded In the hall and two of the speakers, Peter Matsukas and Louis B. Cokos, addressed their remarks directly to ttie Representative of the paper, which they praised for being always on the side of law and order and against mob rule. "These are free Greek colonists you see here," said Peter Matsukas through an Interpreter. "Please put In your paper and tell American people that Greeks feel more sorry than ever before becanse of this murder of the good policeman. Ws are not Heal Life Is Happy. Quit coffee and for , tea days drink PQSTUN. Th Joy of returning health will teU Its own tale. TKsjtV x R.e&aotM to blame, It was the crime of Just one man, and we are not responsible for him. "The South Omaha public did not give us time to call a meeting to explain our position, but the mob attacked our property without waiting to find out whether we countenanced the murder or not. We don't believe In murder and we place ourselves under the laws of the United States and the state of Nebraska." Refers e Aaaerlraas ta Atheas. Mr. Cokos spoke In the English language as follows: "We are more than sorry to see the peo ple of the greatest country In the world act as they did yesterday afternoon snd last night, though we don't blame the nation for the mob any more than the mob should blame us for the murder by one man. Many times we read In the papers of mlxups In uncivilised countries, but never anything like last night. "We are responsible for what our people do as a whole, but not for the act of one. it Is the same with all nationalities. The United States has provided good laws and these laws will be our protection." Loud cheering frequently punctuated the remarks of the Greek orators and when John Johnson, president of the Greek Pan allnlgk society, spoke of the American bat tleshlp fleet which recently visited his country and reminded his hearers that th people of Athens do not mob the peopl In the American colony there when they commit some crime, the applause waa deaf' enlng. Mr. Mandanls has not as yet received reply to the second telegram sent the mln later from Greece. There are 8,000 Greeks In Omaha and South Omaha. But 700 of them are natur allied American cltlsene, the remainder holding allegiance to the mother country. In these latter will the Grecian minister Interest himself. GREEK MINISTER IS NOTIFIED Aetlaa- Ceasnl la Chicago Will Make aa Inveatlgatloa. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-L. A. Coro- mllas, the Greek minister, today received dispatches regarding the riots In South Omaha yesterday, which will be supple mented by complete detailed reports from Mildred Adams, the noting consul of Greece at Chicago, who is investigating the affair. It Is expected that Minister Coromilas will acquaint the State department with the results of his Investigation, although the national government Is powerless to do any thing to alleviate the unfortunate condi tlons further than to request the governor of Nebraska to afford such protection In the future as may lie In the power of the state authorities. The Incident In Its broad aspects is not unlike the attack on the Japanese restau rant keepers In Ban Francisco and ths lynching of Italians In Louisiana, where the national government expressed Its re gret over the occurrences. In the latter case comity provision was made by con tress for Indemnity to the families of the victims. Fortunately, this more serious feature is not present In the Omaha case, SHERIFF BRA I LIS Y IS CAUTIOUS Will Walt on Actloa to Be Taken by Roatb Omaha Officers. "It seems best at this minute to let things quiet down a bit before any further ar rests are made or any steps taken toward such arrests," said Sheriff Brailey at noon Monday. "For the present It Is up to the fire and police board of South Omaha. It seems to me from what I hear about the meeting of Sunday afternoon that further arrests may be in ordjsr. If they are they will be made." The sheriff returned to hiii home at noon to snatch a few hours' sleep. He will bo ready to go to South Omaha at a minute's notice all afternoon and probably will go back to the scene of Sunday's trouble later the day whether or not more trouble then seems Imminent "It seems all over now," he said. THREE ORATORS EXPLAIN (Continued from First Page.) lose personally In th riot but will not sue the city for damages." Jerry Says He Spoke Calmly. While admitting that the crowd made its start at the mass meeting, Jere miah Howard, one of the Douglas ' county representatives from South Omaha, denied that hs said anything which would create a riot when he spoke at the mass meeting in South Omaha. He said he was most careful of what he said, as he was "foreshowed" that something might hap pen. Howard waa seen at the Burlington sta tion Monday morning as, he had missed the train for Lincoln after a hard run. "Although I was 'foreshowed,' I did not even warn tho people to be peaceable, be cause I feared even that suggestion might put some 'deviltry' Into their heads," said Mr. Howard. "The thought flashed through my mind aa I was talking that It might stir them up. "A few of those who were at the mass meeting might have gone forth to make trouble, but the majority of those at the meeting were good cltls?ns of South Omaha. I think some of those who were there might have gone directly from the meeting and gathered a crowd as they went. Two resolutions were presented and I simply spoke on the resolutions." Kraas Gets Sore. J. P. Kraus, one of the speakers at the mass meeting at South Omaha, flew Into the air and became real angry at the Bur lington station Monday morning when some one who knew him said: "I did not know you were such a Marc Anthony." , . ' He refused further to discuss the matter. Mr. Kraus, who la a member of the Doug las county delegation, went to Lincoln Monday morning. Edward Porter, one of the first arrested 8unday night,' was transferred to the Douglas county Jail Saturday morning. Porter is not 18 years old and hence under ths Jurisdiction of th Juvenile court His parents tried hard to arrange for his bail at ths Jail, but were referred to the county attorney. IXNCOLN, Feb. 82. (Speclal.)-When the house assembled this afternoon Repre sentative J. P. Kraus of South Omaha Im mediately rose to question of personal privilege and denied that ha made an in flammatory speech at the anti-Greek meet ing In South Omaha. Sunday. He deolared that the only part he had, taken in the meeting was to move that a resolution on the crowded condition of the Greeks be referred to the governor and labor com mhuiloner. Mr. Kraus also put In a dis claimer for Representative Jerry Howard. Sheets Neighbor aad Wife. If ASH ALL. Texas, Feb. 2X Jesse Denson yesterday shot and Instantly killed Mrs. Bam W.

TAFT AND CROMWELL DEFENDED Says ToaJared Vp Wrongs Are Bat tressed l with Falsehood aad Slander Coekraa Ala Speaks. WASHINGTON, Feb. C-A second speech by Mr. Ralney (111.) reiterating his former statements concerning the Panama canal an a bitter arraignment of Mr. Ralney by Mr. Burton (O.) furnished the principal In cldents of the house of representatives to day. After the Illinois member had spoken for an hour in further denunciation of Wil liam Nelson Cromwell, Mr. Burton took the floor to make reply. He vigorously do fended Mr. Cromwell. C. P. Taft President elect Taft and others whom Mr. Ralney on a former occasion had made objects of his attacks. Mr. Ralney, he said, had furnished no proofs of wrongdoing In connection with the purchase of the Panama canal fran chise, but Instead had conjured up wrongs and buttressed them with slander and falsehood, thereby placing himself on a level with "the scurvy politician." He chal lenged Mr. Ralney to get from behind the protection afforded him by the constitution of the United States and rules of the house and make his charges In the open. Mr. Covering (Mass.) Joined In the discussion and Insisted that Mr. Ralney had proved nothing. The Incident was closed by a declaration by Mr. Cochran (N. T.) that persons whose reputations were sttacksd In the house should have an opportunity to defend them selves In the same place. Barton Answers Ralaey, Mr. Burton elicited republican applause when he rose to reply to Mr. Ralney. He said that Mr. Ralney had abandoned for the most part his accusations made in prior spoeches "and goes afield and brlnas In a new lot of accusations relating for the most part to a treaty now pending between Pan ama and the United States involving Co lombia as well." He declared that It would have been more edifying to the house and more Instructive to the country If Mr. Ralney had proven the accusations he made. It Is Impossible," he exclaimed, "that there should be such childlike, such csre- less abandonment of the rights of this country as to lead to the results which the gentleman has portrayed." As regarded the timber contract he said that was an old scandal. Mr. Burton then assailed Mr. Ralney. "I object" ha uld with vehemence, "to conjuring un wrongs and buttressing them with slander and falsehood, when there are real wrongs to right." Mr. Ralney at once was on his feet and demanded that the words be taken down, while Mr. Bartlett (Ga.) wanted the Ohio member ordered to take his seat Mr. Burton, with a shrug of shoulders. remarked that If what he said was going to lead to a scene he would withdraw his words, "but," he added, "they were uttered under very great provocation." Mr. Ralney at first declined to aocopt the withdrawal, but later did so. Continuing, Mr. Burton declared that full Justice should be given to the men engaged In the work of building the canal. "We should uphold their hands," he exclaimed, ana protect tnem against false accusa tions.". Men, he said, who would attack those engaged In that work had found It necessary to go down Into the mlasmlc swamps and polluted pools ot Panama It self. Mr. Burton declared that Mr. Ralney should retract his remarks sgalnst Presi dent-elect Taft. Mr. Ralney's remarks. Mr. Burton said, had been on the level of the scurvy politician. There were weightier matters that the house could consider. Mr. Ralney, Mr. Burton declared, had taken up the cudgels of a disappointed aide "and taken up their material without analyzing it" Mr. Burton paid a high tribute to Mr. Cromwell, President Obaldla and the others mentioned by Mr. Ralney. He spoke of his senatorial contest with C. P. Taft and said he never heard a word against Mr. Taft that reflected on his honesty as a man, or connected with him any schemes of ex ploitation. "Are we not stepping below the level on which we stand," hs Inquired, "when we bring In private citlsena here and openly accuse them of that which brings contumely and corruption!" He challenged Mr. Ralney to make his state ments out In the open. "Will he," he asked, "when he Is outside the protection afforded by the constitution and rules of this house, will he out in the open, make the statements, that he has been making here on the floor of this house? Will he make so free with reputations as he has In addressl ig us?" The democrats applauded when Mr. Bur ton said it was to the credit of the demo cratic national committee that It had re fused to have anything to do with the alleged scandals. "But what consolation la there," he asked, "for the accusation now made?" "Let us have a fair and square and direct statement and proof of that which he has already said," Mr. Burton pleaded. "Then when they are all proved, perhaps ths house and the country will listen to what else he has to say. But so long as ths sub stantial averments he has made have been proved groundless. It Is not for us to turn aside from our ordinary business to pay at tention to further accusations." Those already made, he said, had fallen to the ground from the weight of their own improbability, absurdity and Incorrect ness. While not sharing the opinion of Mr. Bur ton "aa to the enormity" of Mr. Ralney's action In seeking protection under the house rules. Mr. Cockran of New York declared that It would be an Intolerable situation for a cltlsen of the United States who had not been convicted of a crime to be assailed on the floor of the house and no method ' Table d'Hcrfe Dinner $1.00. every evening 6 to 6 GOOD MUSIC The Xrilpd Annual AUTOMOBILE 3 IHE Q Will commence Wednesday, and the doors of the Aoc3ifOFloinm will be open al 9 A.
