He says for some time past hla brother had been talking about Hamilton and accus ing him of relations with his wife, but never until the night of the crime did he mention killing him.

Jamee then threw the revolver In the river, he says, and the ' two went down the railroad tracks to Glb- son. ' - Tells of Waaderlaca. rhllllpa' uount of their aubsequent whereabouts is somewhat confused and It la not known how much of It Is true. He says the two went from Gibson to Fapll llon, and thence to Ruser's, where they bought lunch. He says he last saw hla brother shortly after dark Tuesday night when they parted at Forty-eighth and Leavenworth streets, James saying he was going to get shaved and that If he did not return soon not to wait for him. Will saya he waited two hours and, hla brother not returning, he went to aleep In some weeds. Where he spent the day yesterday Is not known definitely, but he was evidently , biding where he could not get water, for the first thing he asked for was a drink and he drank as a man who was fam lahed. lie did not seem to be hungry, however, and has evidently been getting food with considerable regularity. He insists that he baa no Idea where his brother Is now, but aaya that Jamea more than once remarked since they have been in hiding, that he would like to see hla wife and It Is possible be may attempt to do so. Just what charge will be placed against him la not yet known. He has been In jail before on minor charges, but on ac count of his youth and still more youth' ful appearance, he has been handled by the juvenile authorities. In the meantime the chase for James Phillips, tha one moat wanted by the of ficers, la going on with renewed seal. A number of clues are In the possession of the sheriff, who Is confident that the ar rest will be made within a short time whether Phillips decide ta give himself up or not. ' era James Mar awrreader. Will also said his brother expressed the intention of giving himself up, although he did not say just when he expected to do so James baa now only 13 in money and no weapon of any kind, according to Will's atory. Aver, the brother-in-law, notified the officers that PbUUpa had reached hla house, but tne capture would have been mad regardless of this, for the house waa watched and Phillips waa seen to enter. He made ho resistance and seemed rather re lieved than otherwise that the chase waa over. DEPUTIES SH00T EACH OTHER Offioer Mis la Pitched Battle While Searching; for am Escaped Htrdtrsr.

At Auto for "Uncle Joe" Member from Fifth Nebraska Votes Against Purchase of Machine for Speaker. (From a Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON. Aug. 4. (Special Tele gram.) Representative Norris of Nebraska played a stellar role in the house of rep resentatlves today, being the only repub llcan who voted against the appropriation of 16.000 for "purchase, maintenance and repair" of an automobile for the exclusive use of the speaker of the house. This paragraph, together with a similar appro priation of the same sort providing for a vehicle to "tote" Vice President Sherman about the city of Washington and Its en Ironments. was agreed to by conferees the urgent deficiency bill, which passed house late this afternoon. This automobile paragraph met with al .tost universal disapproval on the demo cratic side and Champ Clsrk moved to re commit the conference report, which was lost by the vote of 122 to 10.". several re publicans voting with the democrats for recommltal. On the final vote on adopting the conference report the roll call disclosed only one republican voting against It, Nor rls of the Fifth Nebraska district. Representative Norris was allotted five minutes In which to voice his view upon the advisability of appropriating 112,000 for autos for the vice president and speaker. Mr. Norris. who was one of the leaders against the Cannon rules when the present session opened, caused considerable laugh ter and applause from the democratic side when at the close of his remarks against the automobile paragraphs he said: "If we should buy this automobile for the speaker and he should become an adept and expert In the management of It, as he undoubtedly would In a short time, his natural in clination to run over people when assisted by an automobile would make It dangerous for everybody In the community." Senators Burkett and Brown will. If con ditions work out to their liking, leave for home tomorrow afternoon. They have al ready engaged their railway accommoda tions on the theory that congress will ad journ some time tomorrow. Under the agreement a vote on the conference repori on the tariff bill will be taken In the sen ate at Z o'clock and It Is expected that by 2:30 a vote on the concurrent resolution Introduced by Senator Aldrlch today, cor recting the phraseology In the boot and shoe schedule, will be taken immediately, without any attempt on the part of the democrats to filibuster. Several amend ments will be offered to the concurrent resolution and these win be either voted down or left pending until December, when the regular session of congress convene. Senator Burkett la scheduled to speak at a meeting of the Epworih league Satur day afternoon at Lincoln. He la desirous of filling this engagement and he has made hla railway reservations so as to land him In Lincoln Saturday morning. If there should be any change In present agreement both aenatora from Nebraska realize the " necessity of being on tha ground and will stay by the president until the fight for a lower tariff is won.

Both houses of the Connecticut legislature today passed a bill repealing the so-called "blue laws" relating to Sunday observance, which for bid almost every form of recreation and secular activity.

One of the laws specifically repealed is that which provides for a fine of It on each person who shall attend a concert or entertainment on the Lord's day. The new Sunday bill is short. It defines the Sun day and prohibits all sport and secular activities "except such as are demanded ; by necessity and mercy and such as are for the general welfare of the community. t'nder the words "general welfare of the I community" Sunday base ball will pros lubly be permitted.

BIG LABOR WAR THREATENING Leaden Are Confident that Strike Will Become General. BABIES SUFFERING FOR MUX All Supplies of it Have Been Stopped by Trouble. IDLERS FILL STREETS OF CITY Ferries Hare "topped Running, and Drinking; Places Are Closed by Aathorlty Crisis Grave la Swedish Capital. STOCKHOLM. Aug. 4-The labor con flict In Sweden shows signs now of be coming much more acute. While the ranks of the strikers are considerably swelled, the general strike called for today has not yet become entirely effective. Many or ganizations, although sympathising with the strikers, hesitate to Join them actively. The employes of the street car lines and the cab drivers stopped work this morn ing and neither cabs nor street cars are available. The fact that the troop are protecting the gas works and the electrio lighting plant haa Incensed the workmen, whose leaders threaten to call out all the men unless the soldiers are withdrawn The printers' union thla morning resolved to postpone for the present any decision to go on strike. A corps of workmen, some thousand strong. Is being organized with the object of maintaining order and the people gen erally, bankers, merchants, etc., are arm ing themselves for self-protection. The gun shops of the city are practically de nuded of revolvers and small arms. All tourists have left Stockholm and the num ber of visitors now In the city Is smaller than at this season for many years. Although railroad men have decided not to strike, the government la taking the precaution to guard the tracks with troops, fearing attempts to blow up bridges or injure the permanent way. Quantities of dynamite are reported to have mysteri ously disappeared recently from the gov ernment stores. Babies goffering for Milk. The leaders of tne strikers claim that the end of the week will see a notable spread of the movement; that the railroad, postal, telegraph and telephone employes and the printers will by that time have Joined In the strike. This afternoon guards were posted in the market places and the railroad stations. All milk supplies have been cut off and thousands of babies are suffering from lack of ' nourishment and hare' changed from cow's milk to canned milk. The streets of Stockholm are filled with idlers . who promenade back and forth chaffing the volunteer street cleaners, many of whom belong to the better classes. All the saloons are closed today and only the best restaurants are permitted to re main open and even here It Is possible to get wine only with a solid meal. All the ferries have stopped running and there Is little communication between Stockholm and the suburbs reached by water routes. This fact will result in a further diminution of food supplies. For the present all Is quiet In the city, but trouble Is expected when the stocks of food begin to run low. Prince a Spender, Loses His Duchy Heir Presumptive to Duchy of Weimar Renounces Rights Because of Spendthrift Habits. WEIMAR, Germany, Aug. 4. Prince Her mann of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, the heir presumptive to the grand duchy of Wei mar, has renounced the succession of him self or his heirs, If any, to the throne of the grand duchy or Its property. This action, which was carried out with every official formality, la In consequence of tho prince's extravagance, which already haa caused his transfer from the Curlasslera of the Guard In Berlin to a uhlan regiment, garrisoned at Saarburg, and later to com pulsory retirement from the army, after which he was placed under a guardianship. The prince has been given the title of Count Ostheln, but he Is totally bank rupt and remains under tne control of hla guardians.

SIX CITIES SEEK JEWELERS One Summer Resort is Making Big Hit in Convention Contest. PRESENT WEATHER HELPS IT OUT Archibald Is Picked by Those on In side as Winner for Re-Klectloa aa President Aaralnst Vice President Paearel. Six cities are In the race for the next convention of the National American Retail Jewelers' association. They are Denver. Albany. Vtica, Detroit, Milwaukee and Cedar Point. O. : ..' Of these Cedar Point, a summer resort on Lake Erie, haa an extremely good chance. Ohioans are talking persuasively of the cooling lake breexes and this sounds well to the delegates who have been fairly warm since their arrival in Omaha. Of the others, Detroit is putting up the hard est fight. Men on the inside seem to think that President Archibald has the better chance In the contest between himself and Vice President Paegel, whose friends wish to elevate him to the first position In the as sociation. There is a contest going on too for secre tary and treasurer. Friends of Claude Miller of Columbia, Mo., are pushing him for the secretaryship, now held by S. Calllnson of Dexter, la. The latter, It is understood, will be a candidate for re election. A. B. Hull of Beldlng, Mich., Is to be nominated for treasurer. An easy victory for him Is predicted over R. C. Bemau, the incumbent, If the latter la renominated, for Mr. Bernau la traveling in Europe and In hla absence it Is difficult to electioneer for him. Addresses Are the Order. Addresses were the order of the day Wednesday, Harry Hyman of Chicago, be ginning with a paper on "Dollars and Sense" which won for him the heartiest applause of the convention, so far, at leaat. Mr Hyman began with a eulogy of State street Chicago as "the liveliest, keenest business street in the world." He told his hearers how his firm, like others, had long considered elaborate window dis plays undignified. "But dignity did not pay the bills," he added. Then he went on to describe how de partment stores had cut in on the jewelry trade until the jewelers had been forced to awake and fight for their business Uvea. Other addresses of the morning were by H. C. Carpenter, sales manager of the South Bend Watch company and George H. Edwards of Kansas City, secretary of the National Wholesale Jewelers aasocla tion. An address scheduled which did not come off waa by the president of a well known watch company. He let a trade paper have an advance copy of his address on "Im- (Contlnued on Second Page.)

Hia Eminence Jamea Cardinal Gibbons, the ranking prelate In America of the Roman Catholic church apent yesterday In Omaha aa the guest of Rt. Rev. Richard Scannell, bishop of Omaha. - Two other men of high position, Bishop Foley of Detroit and Bishop O'Connell of San Francisco, came with Cardinal Gib bons on the private car of E. O. Mo Cormlck, assistant traffic director of the Harriman lines, with Mr. and Mrs. Mo Cormlck as thel.' hosts. The car waa at tached to the westbound Northwestern train which arrived at Union station at 7:40 a. m. Bishop Scannell and Monslgnor Colanerl were at the station to meet Cardinal Gib bons, and they immediately whisked him away In an automobile to Bishop Scan ners residence at S08 North Thirty-sixth street, where the party had breakfast. Cardinal Gibbons walked to the motor car with a fairly firm tread, despite his 7b years. He la a smaller man than Bishop Scannell and looked somewhat frail along side the robust Omaha prelate. The car dinal wore hla red cap underneath the regulation ahovel hat of the episcopate. Remarks on Weather. The cardinal saw a reporter for The Bee at the episcopal palace. Human-like, his first remark waa about the weather. "It haa been pretty hot down east and I hoped it would be cooler here, but it is not," said he, mopping hla brow.

NO TARIFF COMMISSION BILL Hale Says President Has No Power to Collect Statistics. SHUTS OFF FURTHER REVISION Believes People Have Had Enough Agitation of Question. SENATOR GAMBLE FOR BILL Maht "esolon la Held to Permit Insurgents to Express Their Views In Opposition to Conference Report. WASHINGTON. Aug. 4-Pmall Interest was shown In the tariff debate In the sen ate today, but a night session was neces sary to allow p'rogresslve senators an op portunity to express their views on the tariff bill. Most of the speeches that were delivered during the day were heard by only a handful of senators, while the gal leries had but a sprinkling of visitors, con sisting chiefly of tourists. Interest now seems to center on the vote on the conference report, which will be taken at 2 p. m. tomorrow. Conferences among senators were numerous. Severs', times Vice President Sherman found It necessary to call the body to order and Insist that conversation be discontinued. The effect of the maximum and minimum provision of the measure as agreed on by the conferees was the chief subject of dis cission during the afternoon. Senator Beverldge, quoting the remarka of Chair man Aldrlch, undertook to show that that senator Interpreted the language as re ported by the conferees as practically guaranteeing all the results that oould be obtained through the Instrumentality of a tariff commission. No Poorer to Investigate. He provoked a prompt opposition to that view by Senator Hale, who at great length argued that exactly the opposite purpose was in the minds of the house conferees, whose views had heen adopted. He In sisted that they carefully avoided giving any authority to the president by which he could gather Information on which an other revision of the tariff could be based. Whether the tariff bill about to be enacted, said Senator Hale, would be accepted by the American people as satis factory and would be followed by pros perity, no one could tell. But whatever the results should be, he waa satisfied that for ten years people would look with marked Impatience and frown upon any project or plan or tribunal that would be likely to dis turb conditions. "That," he said, "Is the foundation of tha opposition that has been made to any tri bunal that shall keep open the subject of tariff legislation. "The president Is limited to the determi nation of discriminations against us," added Mr. Hale, referring to the president and his powers under the maximum and mini mum rate clause. "He understands that I understand that he does. The president has a very hard task In executing the pro visions of the maximum and minimum rate clause. He has burdens and the officers under him have burdens and responsibili ties In these negotiation such as never have been imposed upon any president. The president will have no undue hours of sleep." Replying to Mr. Newlands, Mr. Hale de clared that the president would have noth ing to do with Investigating the cost of production at home and abroad. Beverldare Thinks Differently. Mr. Beverldge then explained that he had been Inclined to the same view, but that Mr. Aldrlch having expreaaed a different opinion he would heettate to press hla tar iff commission till unttl.lt could be known what the fact woild prove to be. "That senator will admit," aald Mr. Bev erldge, "that the language was reassuring Vo those of us who favoied the tariff com mlsi Ion." "Too much so," replied Mr. Hala. Mr. Hale then aent to the deak a circular letter from the committee of 100 appointed at the national tariff convention held in Indianapolis last spring for the purpose of promoting tariff commission legislation. It announced that ,000 would be repulred to get a bill through congress, and requested the recipients of the circular to see that their newspapers were filled with Interviews and editorials favorable to a tariff commis sion. "That Is your high-toned agitation, re marked Mr. Hale, bowing to Mr. Beverldge and then taking his seat. "I never heard, of such, a thing before, but I do' not see anything improper In that letter," replied Mr. Beverldge. I.osgnortb and Rooee-relt. Mr. Hale then offered another lette)- to be read. It wan signed by H. E. Miles, chairman of the tariff committee of the National Association of Manufacturers. It declared: "Mr. Longworth. w believe, is splendidly with us, as w know his illustrious father-in-law la." The letter referred to Vloe President Sherman and Representative Tawney as being "radical standpatters," who had "become very much excited and Inter ested," and added that he expected they would "treat" with the tariff commission advocates. There were referencea to1' the Indiana senator as the advocate of the National Association of Manufacturers In this matter. The circular provoked general lau-.h'er, In which Senator Beverldge joined. Senator Gamble spoke at length upon the hill. While objecting to some of Its fea tuies, lie ald that as it had met the ap proval of the president and was the work of the majority party In congress he would vote for It. At f:30 o'clock the senate took a recess until S o'clock p. m. Some difficulty waa encountered to get a quorum at the night session. Finally at S.40 o'clock the e rgeant-at-armt was In structed to bring In the absentees. For more than huif an hour senate employes had bei-n lelephonlr.g to Ike residences of KtMtatoiM to induce their attendance, but whh small success.
