NEW TORK, May SO.-There tw con
siderable uncertainty In the stock market
la.M work wllh a tendency to return to
a fined level In the price average. The
nam tendency la perceptible In a longer
relrotpect, the average price of the moat
representative Mock having changed but
little from that of the early part of May.
The speculative attlude la one of waiting:
and thla disposition wan Intensified by the
three-day holldoy Interval In prospect at
the end of the week.
The narrowness of the public Interest In
the market was evl-Jenced In numerous
ways. Once or twice during the week
there wan liquidation going on of what
looked like large Individual accounts In
a few stocks. The rapid yielding of the
prices of the securities thus affected Indi
cated tlio Indifference of the demand which
hud to be contended with. On the other
hHiid. In the Intervals of these liquidating
rplHorea, a very light demand was ef
fective In lifting prices rapidly, thua In
dicating the small floating supply of stocks
In the market. Efforts to analyse the
causes lying behind these manifestations
gavelarge importance to the extent of the
operations by market pools snd elaboratlv
speculative organisations, which have fig
ured In the advance In prices for many
months past.
Airskealsg Poblle Iotereat.
The objective point of these organised
operations has been the awakened public
demand for securities and the progress of
.the restoration of trade and Industry to
the activity obtained before the panic of
1907. or even beyond that. Men of recog
nised Judgment and authority In the finan
cial world have voiced the conviction
without reserve that the coming era of
trade and Industrial activity and accom
panying prosperity was to rise to new high
levels. It has been common for such opin
ions to point ont the completion of the
struggle ever the revision of the tariff as
fixing the porKxl at the springing Into ani
mation of all sorts of enterprises held back
for that event The estimate accepted for
anma time oaat In Wall atreet for the
probable enactment of the new tariff law
were for tha first of June or thereabouts.
The approach of that date with the de
bate on the tariff measure dragging out to
an undefined future, leaves the specula
tlon In a suspended state.
Meantime there Is a continuous flota
tlon of new securities going on, stimu
lated by the abundance of banking forces
left unemployed by the moderate require
ments, as yet, of the mercantile demands,
Railroad and Industrial corporations both
rime In this new financing. Some of It
gives rise to conjecture of plans to launch
into new fields of combination and con
aolldaiion of industrial enterprises. The
public offering of stocks of the United
Drvaooda companies was made the text
for discussion of such a likelihood.
tmrar Bond Iaaae.
1 The Armour A Co. bond Issue aroused
the surmise of leather Interests of a pos
slble aggressive Incursion Into that field.
The candy manufacturers were observant
of reports that the principal glucose In
to rest would embark on that Industry In
a comprehensive way. The conspicuous
I strength of the steel group owed as much
"to rumors of merging of the Independent
companies with the object of harmonising
relat.ons with the United States Steel
cor so rat Ion as to the returns of trade
r,etterment. These returns were striking,
nevertheless. Increased demand for re-
' fined copper and reduced pressure of of
faring by the leading Interests furnished
additional testimony of the thriving con
dition of the metal Industries.
Speculative sentiment has not been free
from anxiety over the crops and the de
sire to await the government report of

Some rearrangements In the business dis
trict will give Omaha a bigtk between
Tifteenth and Sixteenth streets on Far
na.ni; one of the wholesalers and retailers
of coal will occupy the corner of Sixteenth
and Farnam streets and with the prin
cipal officer of George A Co., active In the
nterests of the proposed City National
bank, the real estate firm will seek a good
ocatlon elsewhere.
While stockholders have net voted on
any of the propositions as far as the
banks are concerned, this is the lineup:
The Corn Exchsnge State bank, the In
stitution organised from the bank of Hay
den ' Bros., will occupy the rooms now
used by G. W. Hull A Co.: the Hull com
pany "III move to the Board of Trade
building, occupying the rooms of Oeorge

Put George A Co. have a lease on their
present offices which does not expire
until January 1, 1910. C. W. Hull has a
ease on his rooms until October 1, 109.
low these leases will be harmonised and
what the Corn Exchange State bank will
do for a banking home In the meantime,
Is a question yet to be solved.
C. C. George, now an active factor In
the upbuilding of the City Savings bank,
s destined to become an officer whose
time will be required largely In the In
terests of the bank.
This will not, however, detract from the
Importance of George A Co. In real estate
circles. A new location, not as yet se
lected, will be secured by the company,
giving more room. At present, Oeorge A
Co. have a lease on the rooms, but C.
W. Hull has secured a lease for future
use, while the Corn Exchange State bank
has a ten-year lease on the present rooms
In the Barker blurk used by Mr. Hull.
Remodeling will be necessary to make the
Hull rooms suitable for such a bank as
the Corn Exchanjca purposes to be. The
stock of this Institution Is now over nub
scribed. The original plan was to organise
with 12)0,000 as a capital stock. The sub
scrlptlons above this amount will be held
until the development of the plans of the
bank determines on their disposal. A large
capitalization Is hinted at.

Now Want to Save
Masauredis in
Supreme Court
Effort Will Be Made to Keep Greek
Found Guilty of Murder from
. Gallows.
A hard fight will be put up to save John
Masauredla' neck from the noose, it win
be waged before the supreme court,
though, of course, a motion for a new
trial will first, be argued before Judge
Sutton.
There Is little or no likelihood that the
district court will sustain such a motion
but for the record's sake It will have to
be made.
The chief point which will be argued to
the supreme court Is that the written
statement of Lilly Breese, made to the
county attorney, was inadmissible and also
that the question put to her about her
evidence before the coroner's Jury was
Improper.
The supreme court can do one of three
things: Sustain the verdict as It stands
refuse a new trial, and commute the sen
tence to life Imprisonment: grant a new
trial.
Masauredis took the result of the con
vlctlon with more calmness than would
have been Imagined. He still protested
that he was Innocent, because the officer,
he -:a Id, fired first, and added, "I can
die once only, anyhow."
Lilly Breese Is with her mother, who
has remained In the city over the trial.
The older woman l living in Grand Island
and will return there. Friends have In
terested themselves In the girl and are
seeking a position for her.

MINISTER PRAISES UNIONISM
Rev. Frederick T. Bouse Speaks to
Typographical Union of Omaha.
FOUNDATION RESTS ON CHRIST
In Memorial Day Address to I'nlon
Carpenter'a h Is Credited with
Urging; Organisation and
. Brotherly Help.
Telling his hearers that he would not talk
of the dead, but that he would talk to the
living. Rev. Frederick T. Rouse, D. D., In
the annual memorial address delivered Bon
day afternoon to Typographical union No.
190, pointed the advantages of unionism
and declared that Jesus Christ, the Car
penter's Son, was the first exponent of or
ganization for labor.
Dr. Rouse took hit text from Islah, xll,
S-7: "They helped avkry one his "neighbor,
and' every one said to his brother.; be of
good courage. So the! carpenter encouraged
the goldsmith, and hi that stnootheth with
the hammer him thef smootheth the anvil,
saying, It is ready for the soderlng: and he
fastened It" with nails that it should not
be moved."-
"Th general tmneVkea by tha minister
lit Ms discourse was -that humanity Is a
great brotherhood, a great family, and that
every member has a right to exist. He
then went ort to point out the wrongs In .
life, the hoarding of capital by "promoters,"
the bacillus of graft fontered by great cor
porations, the spirit of war between na
tions and the shattering of that bond of
human sympathy which should exist be
tween all men.
"I believe the time will come when we
will see that for the necessities of man
kind, for public Improvement and for the
Improvement of mankind, that every man
shall have work," said Dr. Rouse. "Wealth
should not be hoarded here and public
work neglected and men allowed to starve
for the want of work.
Graft Germ Most Die.
"Great corporations say there is no way
to live but by graft, but graft Is a great
moral ehemy. What we need la a hyper
dermlc Injection of moral stamina to with
stand this microbe and to tell the corpora
tions that Ijonesty is the best policy. One
of the greatest voctories of modern medi
cine was the erradlcatlon of the Vellow
fever microbe and the driving of this dis
ease out of the tropics. Ho small are these
yellow fever germs that forty of them can
hang Inside a mosquito's stomach and not
crowd a bit, but Infinitely smaller Is the
bacillus of graft.
"It Is the duty of organized labor to fight
this bacillus. It In the 'duty of organlxod
labor to Insist that there shall be no war
bet wren nations and between men. And
that which we most need Is that element of
human sympathy which will be broad
enough to take in others not members of
our own union or organisation.
"We must have organization, for organ
ization means life; disorganization means
death. One man standing for his rights Is
as nothing, but In union there is strength.
Humanity unorganised Is printers' pi, and
nothing more. Even the church Is organ
izing, and before long I believe we will see
unions of all organizations. And what Is
to be. the aim of all these organizations?
It Is to be the betterment of humanity.

Custer's Old Guide
Answers Last Call
Felicien Fallis, Who Led Indian
Fighter Across Plains, is
Dead.
SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., May 30. (Special.)
"The guide rode often at the head of the
column, and we found him full of Infor
mation about the country. We began also
to listen for a new domestic disclosure
every time we approached an Indian vil
lage. He was the most married or any
man I ever saw, for In every tribe he had
wife."
This was the reference made by Mrs.
Elisabeth Custer, widow of General Oeorge
A. Custer in her book, "Boots and 8ad
dlea," to Felicien Fallis, who died a few
days ago, and who was one of the first
settlers of the vast region now embracing
the' states of North and South Dakota.
In the spring of 1S7J, when General Cus
ter and the Seventh cavalry arrived at
Yunkton, 'Pallia acted as guide for the
command until it reached the upper coun-
V.
ry and made Its headquarters at Fort
Abraham Lincoln.
Fallis was one of the conspicuous early
day characters of Dakota. While acting
as guide for the Custer expedition, he be
came Intimately acquainted with General
Custer. At this time Fallis had been
living In the Indian country over twenty
years. Yet he was fond of saying that
General Custer's knowledge of Indians,
outside of speaking their language, was
better than his.

Conference of Y.M.C.A. Officers Brings
Dr. Hall, Fred Smith and Others.
LYMAN PIERCE VISITS OLD HOME
Former Secretary of Omaha Associa
tion, Who Has Done' Things In
All Parte of World, Re
marks Abont Changes.
"I was expecting to see a change, but the
difference In Omaha Is amazing," declared
Lyman E. Pierce yesterday after surveying
Omaha for the first time In seventeen
years. Mr. Pierce Is the general secretary
of the Pittsburg Young Men's Christian
association and was assistant secretary in
Omaha about 1S92.
Bine then he has been In Young Men's
Christian association work In Australia,
where he rose to the top. Returning to
this country, he helped to build the Wash
ington, D. C, association building, note
worthy even In that city of handsome
buildings.
The Individual of chief Intereat at the
Young Men's Christian association yester
day was Dr. Wlnfield S. Hall of North
western university, . who is privileged to
wear sections of the alphabet ' after - his
name In the following fashion: A. M .
M. D., Ph. D. (Lelpslc), LL. D.
Dr. Hall gave the address at the men's
meeting, which was strictly a meeting for
men. He had one of the largest audiences
which has ever assembled for a Sundif.'
afternoon meeting. Sixty or seventy of the
men present were dlstlngulHhable for a
bearing and carriage which even to the In
expert eye meant personal health and vigor.
The were the physical directors whose
conference Is the first to start of the
affiliated group meetings held In connection
with the thirty-fifth annual conference of
the Association of Employed Officers,
Young Men's Christian Associations of
North America.
Volunteer In the Service.
Dr. Hall Is a volunteer worker In the
Young Men's Christian association, taking
such time for outside lectures as he can
spare from research work In experimental
physiology, and acting as "dean of Btu-
dents" at Northwestern.
For some yeara," explained Dr. Hall In
answer to a question, "the executive work
of the college of medicine and of other
colleges in Northwestern and other uni
versities has been divided between wo
men, the dean of the faculty and the dean
of students."
Dr. Hall wears the key of the Phi Beta
Kappa fraternity, the best known "honor
fraternity." He is the head of another fra
ternity of the kind, Alpha Omega Alpha
restricted to medical men. During hla
student days he also won a membership In
Hlgma XI, an honor fraternity, member
ship in which Is won by distinction In
pure science studies.
Fred Imltb Is Coming.
Most of the best known men who will
attend the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation meeting are due here today and
Tuesday, while a few others will come
later. Of all these, Fred B. Smith, famous
as an evangelist to men, has perhaps the
most renown. He will speak at the big
meeting next Sunday afternoon.
Tomorrow night at the First Methodist
church G. I. Babcork, national secretary
of Mexico, will be heard, among others.
This Is the one meeting of the week open
to the public. Other speakers will be

of the "laymen's missionary movement;"
C. H. Robertson of Tientsin, China, and
Robert E. Lewis of Shanghai.
man visited the grand Jury room and later
a large number of subpoenas were issued.
The rase has been bitterly contested ow
ing to Its Importance. For yeara there
have been rumors of Irregularities In the
calling and settling of strikes in Chicago.
Last winter the rumors took concrete form
and the Indictment of Madden, Pouchot
and Boyle followed. The men were
brought to the trial on an Indictment
charging that they conspired to extort
11 .008 and did extort that sum of Emll
Klleka, through Gearge S. Andres, an
agent, In order to settle a strike on the
plant of the Joseph Klleka Company.
It waa alleged In the state's testimony
that Andrea having received the money
from Klleka left It on a desk In Madden'a
private office, Madden being present and
choosing this method as a safe guard.
Pouchot and Boyle are said to have as
sisted in securing the money.
