one of the moet Interesting prts of the
convention'! proceeding.
Mirk Benefit. Important.
' Of his several recommendations to the
convention, Secretary Mann thinks the one
regarding the payment of alclt benefits Is
by far the moat Important.
In his annual rep.rt he will say: "I feel
It Is a sacred duty which I owe to the
members of this organisation to sound A
note of warning about the benefits, and I
appeal to the delegates to enact such laws
as will protect the future of our order In
the matter of beneflte."
Then the secretary will explain In detail
tha condition of the fraternity In reapect to
the members It haa been Initiating. He will
show that younger men are not being taken
In and that the order Is not being run )o
as to protect the older members.
"We must not forget." he will continue,
"that we are just starting out In life, at
young and vigorous. Naturally, under
surh conditions, the cost of protection Is
cut down to the minimum; but you must
stop to think our order Is Just (11.000 years
older than It was when we met In Seattle
a year sro, and, In order to keep down
the averaae of our order, which alone
governs the cot of protection, we should
have Initiated during the last year 311000
members one year younger than those on
our rolls last year, or 15R.O0O members two
years younaer, and so on.
"Now, I must Inform you that our rec
ords do not show such a state of at
fnlrs. On the. contrary the men who have
afflllatr-d with the order average 8G years
of age.
"Another factor which enters largely Into
the cost of protection Is that of the occu
pation of the members. I believe we need
better laws regulating admission to our
membership, and I urge the enactment of
stricter ones.
"I urge that a law be parsed requiring
that all benefits and dues be' paid 'regu
larly In all aeries,"
little Politic Bandar
There was but little activity In politi
cal circles of the delegates Sunday. All
the offlceseekers and their supporters
seemed willingly to let Sunday form a
day of peace In the campaign work as
well as In the preparations for the con
vention, consequently there was a lull
which was noticeable In particular at tho
1'anton hotel, where, during the closing
days of last week, tho partisans of the
candidates were as busy as bees In work
ing for their favorites.
Doth Orand Chaplain John A. Cllne of
Cleveland and John S. Parry of San
Francisco, who, with Senator Thomas F.
Grady of New York, form the trio of
most prominent candidates for vice presi
dent, the highest elective office, gave out
their first authorised Interviews Sunday
afternoon.
Mr. Parry said he wonted It made clear
that the contest for the office was any
thing but a bitter fight. In which the
candidates were at swords' points.
"Let It be said by me that Senator
Orady and myself Are Just as good frjends
as any men in wila order," he explained.
"We are both after the office and we
art making a hard fight to get It. Sen
ator Qrady, - however, has not told me
anything about his candidacy, and I do
not know what he Is doing.
"My campaign has lagged a little bit,
because Orand Trustee Theodore A. Bell
has not been here to push things along.
He has charge" of lie -campaign; knows
Just what aeries Have endorsed me; and
when he arrlvea In the city tonight he will
start my boorh to sailing.
"It Is foolish for. anybody to say that
I am out of the race. I will stay In It to
the end. Senator Qrady may win, and If
he does, he will 'make an excellent offi
cer for the Eagle. If I cannot get the
position, I hope he does,
Chaplain Cllne Said he was a candi
date, but that he1 was not making an
active fight for the position.
"I have announced myself as wishing to
hava the office of vice president, but I
am not going to stir up a big row for get
ting it," he said. "I would like the of
fice and think I should have It, but It
my friends In the order are not strong
enough to get it for me well, I will have
to wait until another time.
"It la my opinion that my chance tor
getting the office is good. My campaign
la g quiet one. It's hard to tell what it
la accomplishing and tne best thing to do
Is to watt until the convention convenes
for election. Then, and only then, will
my strength be known."
Venator Thomas F, Orady, regarded as
the candidate most likely to succeed Vic
President Hering, still refuses to dlscuxs
the race. His forces have been at work
for over a week and have many of the
delegates well lined up. Ills faction Is
what is known as the "machine," and it
to gently hinted that it will prove a steam
roller before the election la finished.

MORE EXTRA SESSION TALK
Approaching Decision on Guaranty
- Law Case Cannes It.
G0VEHK0R MAY STRIKE SNAO
Kant Donbt Whether the Legislature,
If It Is Reconvened, Will Pass
Another Deposit Oaaranly
Law.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Sept. U. (Special.) Now that
the time Is drawing near when the opinion
In the banking laW'Case I to be handed
down, there Is a revival of the talk of an
extra session of the legislature. The late
democrat!: state convention recommended
to the governor to call an extra session
merely to pass upon the proposed Inoome
tax amendment to the federal constitution.
This the governor has flatly refused to
even consider, but he Is willing and anxious
to call an extra session to enact a new
banking law should the final declHlon oC
the circuit court be -adverse to the get of
the late legislature.
The governor haa announced positively
that If the court in Its opinion holds tbe
law unconstitutional and then sets out in
what places It Is Invalid, ha will call an
extra session and endeavor to get a con
stitutional bill passed. The' governor will
not wait for the case to be taken to the
United States supreme court, so he has
announced on several occasions, but Juat
as soon as It is known In what particular
the present law Is bad, he will call the
legislators back for a second trial.
The' talk around the state house Is that
It Is very doubtful If the same legislature
would pass another banking law guaran
teeing deposits Some of the ringleaders ol
the session who forced the bill through last
winter are now being quoted, with or with
out their permission, as being opposed to
the guaranty act.
So If the governor calls his extra session
it Is likely he will have the fight of his
life to get the measure he desires written
on the statutes.
Work for Supreme Court.
The supreme court will meet September
21 and at that time it ia very probable the
court will pass on the motion of the state
oil Inspector for a rehearing In the non
partisan Judiciary case. Among the cases
of great importance to the city of Lincoln,
which now serves its people with all the
liquor they desire through the medium of
clubs, though the town Is dry, figuratively
speaking, is that in which the right of a
club to sell or serve boose In a dry town
Is to be tried out. When the town first
went dry the clubs at once stocked up
heavily and then when there were rumors
that the police were going to Interfere they
promptly got out Injunctions to compel the
police to let them alone. So the supreme
court Is to pass upon the legality of that
Injunction.
Two Houaea Raided,
Under the direction and management of
Mrs. Hoy Hale, who was looking for her
husband, the police last night raided the
boma of F. R. Campbell on South Ninth
street, arrested the Campbells and Mr.
Hale and several other men and woman
and loaded them Into the patrol wagon,
Then Mra. Hale directed them to a house
across the street and ordered the arrest
of tha woman who lived there. This was
promptly dona and the entire bunch taken
to the police station, Mrs, Hale expressed
her Joy at her achievement by saying:
"Goodie, goodie, they will have to stay in
Jall tonight and Sunday, anyhow." '
Men Renew Demands. .
Now that the state fair Is over the em
ployes of the Lincoln Traction company
have renewed their efforts to secure at
the hands of the officials of the company
recognition of their union, as well as an
Increase In pay. The officers of the union
yesterday sent a communication to Vice
President Sharp, In which they reminded
him that they had refrained from kicking
up a fight during the fair and thus em
barrassing the oompany, but that now the
fair Is over they believed it time to get
together. The union offered to, submit its
proposition to a board of arbitration pro
vided the officials of the union and the
traction company could not get together.
Mr. Sharp Is going to Denver tomorrow,
so It Is probable no action will be taken
In the matter until his return.

Judge T. C. Munger returned from his
vacation trip to the coast yesterday and
left today for Chadron to hold a session

I find no fault at all with those demo
cratic editors who criticize me for acting as
counsel In tha tax suit, in Indicates that
they no longer regard the party label as a
paramount lHue, or as conducive evidence
of the fitness and worth of the candidate.
This, on our side, Is a nonpartisan cam
paign, and It la not only the privilege of
democrats, but a duty Imposed by the party
platform, to support the candidates they
conceive to be the moet deserving. If my
corporate affiliations give ground for dis
trust, there Is satisfaction In the thought
that no purblind partisanship need now
prevent democratic voters from turning to
some one of the candidates on the repub

records are more ensuring. Very truly

FATAL WRECK NEAR LINCOLN
Two Persons Killed and Nine Cthen

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb., 8ept. U.-(Special Tele
gram.) Burlington passenger train No. 89
collided wllh stock train No, 7S at Burn
ham, three miles west of Lincoln at 11.15,
slightly before noon, resulting in the death
of two men and injury to a dozen. In
addition several head of gtook were killed.
The passenger train. In charge of Con
ductor F. J. -Upllnger and Engineer H.
F. Gillespie, had been given orders to aide
track at Burnham and wait for the extra
stock train to pass. The crew failed to
obey orders, and Just at a curve at the
Burnham brickyard the trains crashed
Into each" other. The crews of both en
gines leaped before the crash and the only
one Injured waa E. G. Blgnall, a nephew
of Superintendent Blgnell, who was the
engineer of the stock train.
F. J. Upllnger made the statement after
the wreck that he had forgotten that he had
orders to stop at Burnham. The Injured
were cared for by the people of Burnham,
who opened their hornet and took them In
until an engine could be aent down from
Lincoln and bring them to the hospitals
here. The dead were removed to the
morgue. Coroner Matthews was on the
ground early and will hold an Inquest to
morrow to place the blame for the wreck.
Until after the Inquest Superintendent Blg
nell said he would make no statement.
The dead:
W. L. ROHRER, Falls City; carpenter.
WILLIAM GRIFFIN, colored cook, su
perintendent's car; Wymore.
The injured:

Dead and Injured at Lincoln.
The dead and seriously injured were
brought to Lincoln, eight of the latter be
ing takes; to hospital. Mall Clerk Warner
was able to go to his home. With the ex
ception of Mr. Seaman, who ia at) aged
man, physicians believe there is no cause
for concern for those hurt
h-Both trains were moving rapidly when
the collision came. 1 The passenger engine
Is one of the old style, light type, while
that on the stock train waa of heavy con
struction. When the crash came the lighter
machine was almost smashed to pieces, the
tender was Jammed. Into the combination
express and baggage car, which in turn
telescoped the smoker. - It wag in this car
the fatalities and worst Injuries occurred.
All the cars remained on the rails, but it
was necessary .to remove the dead and in
jured through the w)ndows. Bohrer died
while the work of. rescue was going on.
The collision was. the result of a mis
understanding of trainmen. Passenger
Conductor F. J. Upllnger had order to
taking the siding at1 Burnham to allow th
stock train to pass.' As the usual meeting
place of trains Is at the village of Berks,
a few miles farther south, he forgot his
orders. Just before' the crash came on of
the brakemen was inked if it was not in
tended to stop at Burnham.
"You're right" h exclaimed, and made
a ruHh to give the 'signal. Just then the
grinding of the emergency brake waa felt
and the engines met. Engineers and fire
men on both engine Jumped, Blgnell alone
being hurt. It I claimed the passenger
train wa running at nearly forty miles
an hour when the collision cam.
S. Seaman, the most seriously hurt of tbe
Injured, 1 a leading business man of Be
atrice. "
Two or three car of the tock train were
badly wrecked and a number of head of
cattle and hogs killed. The wreck wa
oloared up and traffio made possible early
In the afternoon.
Mall Clerk Is Nervy.
Mail Clerk Warner of Lincoln, who waa
badly bruised, wa the rear of hi car
when the crash qame and thus escaped
death by a narrow1 margin. H refused to
leave his car until a substitute had been
sent out from Lincoln to relieve him. A. P.
Watson of Texas, who wa badly cut In
the hand by broken glass, losing a finger
or two, and whose body was severely
bruised, sat on the grass unconcerned and
asked for a cigarette while the work of res
cue progressed. Engineer Blgnell of the
stock train wa tha only member of the
engine crew on either train to be Injured.
The rest all Jumped. Blgnell received a
bruise on the shoulder. He I a nephew of
Superintendent Blgnell.
An unusually sad feature connected with
the death of W. L. Rohrer Is the fact that
he was to have been married to Mi NellU
Thompson, 1S41 E tret, Lincoln, within
two week. Rohrer had been to Lincoln to
call on Ml Thompson and they had mad

American in speaking of him to me re
cently said:
" 'Mr. Harriman ha done more for th
development of th resources of the coun
try and th expansion of it power than
any other individual in the last hundred
year.' '
"We are proud to know that he achieved
all this distinction without violating the
minutest principle of the great law of
morality. There never wa an instance
(and 1 say It with all the knowledge of
the criticism made) when he wa not able
to more than vindicate himself.
To those who maligned and misrepre
sented htm, he ahowed no resentment, but
was willing alway to allow time to prove
his case, and the proof never failed the
pettlneaa of Jealous competition, never for
an Instance embittered him. He remained
throughout those trying year sweet tem
pered, amiable, lovable.
"He wa a burning and shining light.
God be thlnked for such Uvea."
The funeral service closed in silent prayer
and on by one the country folk filed
out, many with tears In their eye. I

SYDNEY. C. B..Pept. IS!. All Sydney
await th coming of Commander Robert
B. Peary, to give welcome to th finder of
the "big nail," when he first sets foot on
the American continent after hi long, but
successful, search for the North pole.
Mr. Peary said tonight that she had re
ceived a wireless telegram from Com
mander Peary at Battle Harbor today, say
ing that he was well ant) would keep her
posted. She added that h acsumed her
husband was still at Battl Harbor and
that no definite tlm had bean aet for hi
departure for this city. Mis Marl Peary
received a telegram from her father con
gratulating her on her 16th birthday. , .
Commander Peary 1 moving southward
In th came precise manner that character
ised hi methodical and well caloulated
dash for th pole. Th Roosevelt 1 being
overhauled and painted at Assise Harbor,
near Battle Harbor, and it commander ha
ordered that every injury sustained In it
long tay In the Ice cradle of Cap Sheri
dan ahall be removed before It tall tor this
port. Th bunker of th Roosevelt are be
ing filled, aa it 1 calculated that it will
take nearly five day teady steaming be
fore It reaches this port It required nearly
soven day for the Roosevelt to run from
Battle Harbor to Sydney on the return from
the previous Arctlo trip, though at that
time the ship had only the us of one
boiler.
Sure Peary "Can Make Good.
Commander Peary, in all probability, will
remain here two days, and then go with
hi family to hi horn on agl Island, In
Casco Bay, Main, where he will rest for a
day or two, proceeding thenoe to Washing
ton to make hi official report to th gov
ernment While her he will confer with
Herbert L. Brldgman, secretary of th
Peary Arctlo club, and will acquaint him
self with the latest detail of the Peary
Cook controversy. That Commander Peary
la prepared to substantiate by evidence hi
tatement that Dr. Frederick A. Cook did
not reaoh the pole I tated by nearly
everyon of th large colony of Arctlo ex
plorer, dentist and other who have
gathered her to greet the explorer from
the, north.
No South Pole for Peary,
Commander Peary has planned to or
ganise an expedition to search for the
South pole, but Mr. Brldgman said tonight
that Peary would not lead it and that
aomeon else would save to undertake th
task.
Sydney la putting on a holiday appearance
for the coming of Peary. From flagstaff
and window United States flag are flung
and the headquarter of th welcoming
party i besieged with vlaltor inquiring
for the latest new of th explorer. Mra
Peary and her two children, Marie and
Robert, Jr., went for a drive this afternoon
and later visited friend. Th little son of
th explorer, in company with the French
and American consul and a party of corre
spondents, today visited th French frigate
Isly on the Invitation of Commander Dur-
and. Young Peary waa photographed with
the commander on the bridge of the Ily.
Th French warship probably will remain
in the harbor to aid in th welcome to
Commander Peary. No British warship I
expected.
This i Marie Peary' birthday. She wa
born sixteen year ago In the Arctlo region.
Her middle name 1 Ahnlghtto, which waa
the name of the old Eskimo woman who
made the little girl her first suit of fur
clothes. Mr. Peary said th name Ah
nlghtto meant "sharp, pointed mountain."
Miss Peary received many present today
from relative and friend.
George Bouroup of New Haven, Conn.,
father of George Bouroup, the botanist on
the Peary expedition, reached here today.
The Roosevelt probably wtll encounter
heavy seas in the gulf of St Lawrence, aa
incoming skipper report strong northwest
winds. They say also that Iceberg have
been seen In-the strait of Belle Isle. In
view of thes conditions. Commander Peary
doubtless will be delayed In hi 460-mile run
to tht city.
