Berry of tha Inter national union believea the principal dta cubslon at the convention will be on pro longing the strikes In the Tour clUea which have failed to grant the eight-hour work ing day. These cltlea are Atlanta, Loula- llle, Nashville and Akron. There are iver 22,000 members of the International Minting Pressmen and Assistants' union if North America, out despite the de termed condition which haa prevailed to i certain extent during the last two years, ihe eight-hour law has prevailed In every .ity but these four, where about 460 men die on strike. When the eight-hour law went into ef fect In November, 1907, working preasmen paid an assessment of 10 per cent to maln .aJn the men on strike. As employers Igned the new acale and men went back to work the assessment was lowered from time to time, until now It amounts to 1 per oast. "I think the delegates to thla convention will reiterate their determination to con tinue the strike In these four cities until the eight-hour law la firmly established throughout the country," said President I'.eny. "We are looking more and more Into ' the competitive field and out of all fairness the eight-hour law should be uni versal." Some of the delegates object to the con tinuance of the assessment, believing there Is a sufficient fund In the treasury to maintain the strikers for a considerable pe riod. One of these is Kdward A. Stephen, secretary of local union No. Ill of Joliet, III. Several Canadian delegates Join him In this belief. We have no way of determining Just "here the money goes that we pay In tm mis assessment." said Mr. Stephen, "and while I would not charge graft, still there Is a ohance for graft. Of course, 1 per cent Is not much, but It all counts up." Technical School Qaeatlaa. "Another thing which will come in for discussion Is the establishment of a tech nical school," said President Berry. "The many kinds of Improved machinery call for experienced men, and I am in favor of establishing a technical school, where lourneymen can become better workmen and attain a high standard of efficiency. "I think the great majority of the dele gates are In favor of establishing a home for consumptive pressmen, similar to the Colorado, home of the Typographical union." continued the president. "I Intend to offer a resolution asking for the ap pointment of a committee to go Into the matter and recommend some action. I know of a number of moneyed men, pub lishers, who will give ua assistance." Second Vice President Flannery of Chi cago Is In favor of the tuberculosis home, and said that iS per cent of all the deaths among pressmen la due to consumption. 'This la due to the fact." he vald, "that ' moat all press rooms are poorly ventilated. 1 and that those In large cltlea are Invariably In basements. The preaa room of the New (Continued on Second Page.) The human form divine, as exemplified In a bathing suit, received many illustrations In the vicinity of Omaha yesterday. The warmth of the sun incited many to take their first dip of the season at Lake Man awa, and others tried it at Courtland Beach. The first person to plunge In at Manawa In the afternoon was a portly person of the female sex, whom a young architect sitting on the bank described as "built on the romanesqun order of architecture." A few minutes later there Joined her another woman, whose proportions were more on the gothlo order. After viewing the revelations of the bathing beach the young architect came to the conclusion that the chief beauty of the human figure is to be seen during action. "Even a human hlppopotamous who can swim," quoth he, "looks well then, while that same Individual In repose seems a mere mountain of flesh. Then, again, ob serve the somewhat excessive angularities of the male bathers! That long, lean, hun gry looking persons standing there appears to be designed for a flagpole, but when he dives he shoots through the air like a rocket. The maxim ought to be laid down for the benefit of those Ill-favored physi cally, 'When In a bathing suit, keep mov ing.'

He had quarreled with a neighbor, and ran Into the house to get a shotgun. He found Demlck, a boarder, with Mrs. Oh man. After Osman had killed Demlck, and had shot Mrs. Os man In the back, he turned the gun upon himself and fired, but failed to Inflict u dangerous wound.

ROBBED OR MUREDERED? NO JUST FELL OFF INTO RIVER Police Conrl Idea of Foal Play In Case of Drowning; of Jacob. Havel. Not found dead In a patch of weeds at Gibson, not robbed and murdered and hla body thrown Into the river, and not dead by the aulolde route say the police of the case of Jacob Havel, whose body was found floating In the river at Nebraska City Friday. The police declared Sunday, after Ser geant Vanoua had worked two days on the case, that Havel merely lay down on the river bank after a night of revelry, fell asleep, and by merely rolling over acci dentally, pitched himself Into fifteen feet of water and was drowned. Early reports Indicated other modes of death. The body was brought to Omaha from Nebraska City Saturday by relatives and waa burled Sunday. It was found to have no marks of violence on tt, and Havel's gold watch waa found untouched In his pocket, facts that dispell the robbery and murder theory. The unsigned postal eard, supposedly from Havel, at Kansas City and slating that the writer was well, has been found to be a case of mistaken handwriting.

International Lawyer of Note Dies Suddenly PARIS, June 20. An occurrence unprece dented In the French turf almost pre vented the running of the grand steeple chase of Paris today at the Auteuil course. The meeting was disorganized by a serious riot, several persons being injured and many arrests made. Inspired and aided, It Is said, by Pataud and other revolutionary labor leaders, forty militant members of the Stable Boys' union, which was organized at the time of the postal strike, armed with revolvers, ambushed the vans conveying the horses from Malsons lafflt, their running quar ters, cut the traces and forced them back to tha atablea. Among the victims were several American horsea. Finally a magistrate and a force of po lice set off in automobiles to the scene of the trouble, where they succeeded In putting the stable boya to flight and res cued the racers.- It seemed at first as though the meeting would have to be abandoned, and President Falllerea, who Is always present on the occasion of the grand steeplechase, was advised by tele and Finally Corpse Itself.

Paul SlR-el. the father, claimed and posi tively Identified the body at the morgue tonight, admitting for the first time that the victim was his daughter, Elsie. The girl's mother, now In a sanitarium, had previously Identified the Jewelry; an other woman had Identified the under clothing, , and relatives had said that the murdered girl was Elsie Slgel, grand daughter of General Franx Stgel. Until this evening the father had main tained an attitude of silence. But after a conference at police headquarters this aft ernoon, he visited the morgue, accompanied by Franx Slgel, a brother, and Reginald, a son, and by Mabel Slgel, a cousin of the victim. It was almost dark when the little party reached the morgue. There were no tears, but their faces were strained and pale asthey entered the gloomy place. First the clothing on the body was exam ined by Mabel Slgel. Tonchlnac Scene At Morfiie. "Elsie," said the girl as she examined It, "used to wear a peculiar white-headed pin." A detective ran his fingers through the clothing and In a moment held up a white headed pin. Mabel Slgel nodded. "Elsie Slgel wore that," she said. After a moment she was sure that the clothing was that worn by her cousin. The party passed Into the dead room, where the body lay In a long, coffln-Uke drawer. Amid silence the compartment waa drawn out. The face was first uncov ered and the teeth examined. The father was silent, but Mabel Slgel waa quick to note the teeth. Body la Identified. "Those are Elsie's teeth," she said, "and her hands, too." Paul Slgel nodded his head affirmatively aa each new feature was brought out to strengthen the Identification. Coroner Har burger asked the father If he was certain the body was that of his daughter. "Are you satisfied in every way of the accuracy of the identification?" he was asked. "I am satisfied," said the man in a broken voice, as he was led away. Franx Slgel made arrangements for the removal of the body and for the funeral. Elsie Slgel's stomach, however, is in the hands of the Columbia university professor, who will make a chemical analysis of Us contents. Although the murder is supposed to have been committed Wednesday, June 9, the exact cause of the death has never been ascertained. While the autopsy deter mined that death possibly was due to asphyxia, whether Bhe was choked, smoth ered under a pillow or drugged, bound with ropes and left to die horribly In the trunk is as much a mystery as the whereabouts of Leon and his pal, Chung Sin. Father Talks of Case. Mr. Slgel, at his home tonight, after re turning from the morgue, gave out an Interview, the first since the dlscoverey of the murder. He said that the funeral would not be held from the house. "The disgrace has been keen enough as It is without having the funeral from here In front of a gaxlng crowd." he said. "My wife and I have aged ten years In the last week. "This should be a lesson to young girls not to mix with other than their own peo ple. I have not slept for four or five days, but now that the Identification Is certain, I feel that I can get a little rest. Funeral arrangements will be made tomorrow. But it will be a quick funeral and no one will know anything about It but the members of the family, if I can avoid It." Aside from the positive Identification of the body, there were no new developments In the case here today. Chu Gain, mana ger of the Port Arthur restaurant In China town, who was detained last night as a witness, waa held without ball until Tues day. He haa admitted that he knew Elsie slgel well, and had Incurred the enmity of Leon Ling, and that both he (Chu Gain) and the girl had been threatened with death.

This was more than two hours after the scheduled time, and the crowds, already exasperated from waiting, became violent when a single horse presented it self for a walkover In the first event. Jockey and horse were forced to beat a hasty retreat to the paddock, aa the crowd swarmed on the track and refused to permit the Jockey to take his mount over the course. The second event waa for army officers, riding their own horses. For some reason or other the crowds became frenaled when several officers cantered from the atari. The officers were pelted with missiles of various kinds and two were severely In jured. At the aame time the booths and hedgea were set on fire, but fortunately rein forcements of police, troops and firemen, who bad been summoned, arrived in time to clear the track and extinguish the flames.

ACCUSES HENEY OF CORRUPTION Defendant Sas He Will File Crimi nal Charges Against His Prose cntor Also Aiialnst Messrs. Spreckels and Phelan. SAN FRANCISCO, June 20 Terminating In a disagreement of the Jury, with ten men determined on acquittal and two steadfastly resolverl upon conviction, the trial of President Patrick Calhoun of the t'nlted Railroads ended at noon today. Five months and a week had transpired since the wealthy street car magnate, a descendant of Patrick Henry and of John C. Calhoun, made his first appearance in court to answer to the charge of offering a bribe of 14.000 to a supervisor to obtain a privilege for his c rpora,tlon. Not until each Juror had pronounced as hopeless the pr.rt t of "X verdict was the order for their liberation made by Judge Lawlor, the prosecunon and defense giving assent to the discharge. The trial ended quietly and without demonstration. The court room was well filled, but the sudden climax did not per mit of an attendance gathered from far and near such as characterized the five days of argument and the vigil of last night. The defendant and his attorneys, as well as the chief of the prosecution, refrained from comment upon the disagree ment when It was recorded and quickly departed from the court rom. But five ballots were taken, three of these shortly after the Jury retired. Upon the first vote the Jury stood eight for ac quittal and four for conviction. Two of the four Joined the majority upon the sec ond ballot and one of the remaining two announced his determination to remain out a month If necessary. Court Scores Procedure. Judge Lawlor announced that he had as certained, before coming to court, that tho Jury appeared to be hopelessly divided. After ordering the discharge of the Jury, Judg Lawlor drew his chair to th5 edge of the platform nearest the Jury box, and ad dressed to tho twelve men some informal remarks. He criticised the laws and usages that made possible the expense of three months' procedure In empanelling a Jury, and thanked them upon their worth aa citi zens. He declared the courts were utterly helpless to prevent such occurrences, and recommended that the legislature be In fluenced by the people to change the laws that govern court procedure. The attorneys will be expected to fix a date for another trial upon the same Indictment at tomorrow morning's session of court. "I am ready to try this case again, and I will go ahead tomorrow If necessary," said Mr. Heney an hour after the adjourn ment Mr. Calhoun tonight said: "Of course, I am disappointed at the failure of the Jury to acquit me of the unjust charges against me. I would have liked my vindication by the Jury to have been absolute." Says Heney Waa Bribed. Mr. Calhoun continued: "The Judge was hostile, the assistant dis trict attorney bribed, and the administra tion of- the criminal law of this state dis graced. I propose at the proper time, and In a proper manner, to submit formal charges against Assistant District Attor ney Francis J. Heney for receiving bribes as a public officer, and against Rudolph Spreckels and James D. Phelan, who fi nanced the prosecution, for having paid them." Let us Help you find the room you want.

University Will Furnish Morgue If City Wants It Creighton Has Rooms Which is Available for Modern Morgue, Says Coroner Heafey. A city morgue, measuring up to all the requirements of a metropolis like Omaha, is anticipated by Creighton university and Coroner P. C. Heafey In the offer which the university authorities are said to have recently made to the city and to Mr. Heafey as coroner. The latter says the university has offered him the permanent use of a basement room In the university building as a city morgue If the coroner, city and the physicians of the community would assume the expense of keeping up the proposed morgue. Coroner Heafey has not yet decided what action to take In the matter, but states that he wilj soon come to a conclusion and will certainly accept the offer lf"the city and the local physicians agree and he Is elected coroner at the fall election. Mr. Heafey Is now only serving the un expired term of Harry B. Davis, who died. If the plans for the proposed morgue are adopted with the acceptance of the university's offer, It is agreed by physi cians that Omaha will take a great for ward step In the matter of business con nected with the coroner's office. The methods and policy now in vogue in European cities and favorert oy physicians, concerning public cases of death, would be put Into force. j This would mean that a body would never be buried until the municipal and county governments were satisfied as to the cause of death, post mortem examinations being held for each doubtful case. This is sup posed to be done at the present time, but with the closest watch placed on the mat ter by the coroner and his physician, omissions are sometimes made. The new morgue would also make such methods easy, economical and systematic. University Man Ends His Life Mistakenly Believes Himself Victim of Incurable Disease, He Takes Prussia Acid. ST.

The eastbound car, running as train No. 59, It Is stated, was going at the rate of fifty miles an hour, to make up lost time. When the crash occurred the eastbound car was telescoped and almost entirely wrecked. In this train were all of the killed and most of the Injured, passengers on train No. 68, westbound, escaping with slight bruises and scratches. The scene of the wreck Immediately after the crash was described by eye witnesses as being sickening In the extreme. The two cars were welded together into a mass of debris, In which lay the ten dead and dy ing and two score injured. The cries and appeals for help were horrifying and causod a scene of utter confusion for many min utes. Soon, however, the cool-headed among the passengers brought order out of chaos, and while some arranged to convert a home near by into a temporary hospital and morgue, others turned their attention to rescuing the dead and Injured. Darkness greatly interfered with the progress of the rescuers and, to make mat ters worse, the nearest telephone was three quarters of a mile away. Thus, It was Im possible to procure speedy aid from Mich igan City. W. It Parry of Gary, Ind., formerly of South Bend, was among the first to realize the extent of the catastro phe. The arm of a man lay near him In the sand, bringing him to a realization of the fact that cool-headedness and quick ac tion were necessary. All but one of the killed were In the smoking compartment of tha oar In he front end. This space, originally used as a baggage and freight room, waa fitted up for the use of the smokers and was crowded. Titus P. Klnzle, a real estate dealer, and Cordlus Kline, both of South Bend, left the smoker less than a minute before the crash came and escaped with their lives, although Kline suffered severe injuries. , Work of Relief Brigade. Superintendent Welsh of the Interurban line was In Michigan City when the Acci dent occurred. When he learned of the col lision he also discovered that It would be Impossible to run electrlo cars to the scene because the trolley wires had beon broken. Three physicians were sent In a gasoline traction speeder, and three more dispatched as soon as possible In an auto mobile. When the physicians reached the scene of the accident they found scores of farmers and villagers endeavoring to care for the wounded and to extricate the dead and dying. They were working under dif ficulties, the only light being furnished by a few lanterns procured from nearby farm houses. All around the wreck lay the In jured, covered with blankets and com forters brought from the nearest homes. Many of the wounded were so pinioned In the wreckage that It was necessary to use axes to rescue them. Officials of the Lake Shore railroad no tified the westbound train to take doctors and nurses at Laporte and South Bend and put them off at Dune Park. Similar Instructions were Riven the crew of the eastbound train, which brought assistance from Whiting and Indiana Harbor. The New York and Boston fast express of the Lake Shore, which left Chicago at 10 'M o'clock, stopped at Dune Park, arriving at 11:, c .d took aboard tha wounded, who were carried to Soutn Bend and La porte and placed in hospitals.
