2M8 Hlmebaugh avenue.
He was taken at once to the county Jail
and locked up. He talka freely of the
murder, stating that It was done by hl
brother and that he was present and tried
to' prevent It, but waa not able to do so.
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.
Saturday night, according to young Phil
lips, he waa at Florence with his brother,
when the latter remarked: "I am cuing
over and kill that fellow now," at the same
time applying a number of epithets to
Hamilton.

Will claims that he attempted to talk his
brother out of the notion, but without suc
cess, and that the two of them went to
the sawmill where Hamilton lived. In tell
ing the story of the murder. Will says that
as his brother went Inside of the house.
Fate, an employe of Hamilton's, came out,
and when the first shot was fired ran
away.
WTI1 saya that when he heard the shots
Inside he went in the house and had a scuf
, fie with hla brother to keep him from
hooting again. The two came outside and
Hamilton also ran out of the house, being
already shot through the jaw.
Outside the house. Will says, he had
another scuffle with hla brother to get the
revolver, but was not ' successful, and
James shot again, the last shot being the
ene which entered Hamilton's brain, kill
ing him almost Instantly. Jamee then threw
the revolver In the river, he says, and the
' two went down the railroad tracks to Glb-

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.

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

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.

Norris Balks
. 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.

Old Blue Laws
Are Wiped Out
Connecticut Legislature Repeals An
cient Sabbath Observation
Statutes.
HARTFORD, Conn., Aug. 4. 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. The laws, Which have
been seldom enforced, are relics of enact
ments of the law-giving body of 1772.
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

STRIKE WORSE
AT STOCKHOLM
Residents of City Are Arming and
Tourists Are Rapidly Leaving
Country.

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.

presumptive to the grand duchy of Wei
mar, has renounced the succession of him
self or his heirs, If any, to the throne of

action, which was carried out with every

which he was placed under a guardianship.

Visits Bishop Scannell.

of Marrlaare and the Evil
of Dissolving; the
Bonda.
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.
"This la my first visit to your city. Ne

never been in Defore.
"Yes, newspaper men always ask (me
about the divorce problem. Recently Jus

SENATE GOES AT
LEISUKELY GAIT
Senators Proceed Listlessly as Time
Approaches for Final Vote on
Tariff.
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
