CROWDS HONOR NATION'S DEAD

la spits of the oppressive heat of a
very sultry, aitamoon. thousands did honor
to rho memory of "tie nation's defenders
In the Memorial exercises at the Audi
torium yesterday afternoon. The great
building ttsoif seemed to breathe an air of
patriotism. Flags were everywhere end
the national colors hung In folds from
every point. In tho stage background was
large picture, of Lincoln.
The Woman'J Relief corps occupied the
boxen on the left and the Ladles of the
Grand Army of the Republic the boxes on
the right. The veterans were seated In
the front. The Glee club of the Toung
Men's Christian association and tho High
School Cadet band furnished the music for
the occasion.
Jonathan Edwards, chairman of the Me

the volume of sound.
Rev. Thomas H. McConnell pronounced

a general trioute to patriotism in every

the present day to perpetuate the object
of their struggle.
"It waa stated by Garfield," said Mr.
Hastings, "and reiterated by McKlnley
on the afternoon of his death, that all men
who study history must arrive at the in
evitable conclusion that this nation has
ever been under the dispensation of a rul
ing and beneficent providence. Never is
this statement more apt than when applied
to that part of our history known as the
civil war. Always in every period of strife
haa the man of the hour been present.
Then It waa that immortal statesman,
Abraham' Lincoln."
The speaker took the commercialism of
the age as a pretext for an eloquent plea,
for patriotism, pointing to the national
Ideals of other countries and the length
of time which they have endured.

Young Woman Helps
to Capture Burglar
Who Enters Home
Miss Ethel Morse Showi Great Bravery
When She Confronts Prowler
at Home.
Miss Ethel Morse by her bravery yester
day afternoon helped to capture a house
prowler who was discovered ,by her In her
room. Miss Morpe is a daughter of W: V.
Morse, 1H2 Davenport, a director In the
street railway company and formerly a
wholesale dry goods merchant.
When she started to enter her room at
8:30 o'clocckc the young woman ran Into a
strange man. When she asked him what
he was doing he replied that he had come
to leave a suit of clothes "for a Mr.
Brown." The man pointed to a suit box
that he was carrying.
"I don't believe It." Miss Morse replied,
and she started toward the man. He
looked as though he were going to stand
hlB ground. Then he began a retreat.
Down the stairs he ran. with Miss Morse
In pursuit. She cried to servants to stop
him. They joined In the chase. A negro
gardener followed the fugitive over fences
In neighboring lawns, and finally cornered
him under a veranda at 1909 Capitol ave
nue, where policemen arrested him a few
minutes later.
At police headquarters the prisoner gave
the name of Harry Hobbs. A search of
his room at 411 Nineteenth street revealed
a suitcase full of property which the po
lice say answered descriptions as part of
that which has been lost In a series of
house prowling; depredations that have been
reported In the, but few t'ays. . . ...
A case containing Jewelry of heavy raTua
was In a drawer of Mtss Morse's room.
None of It was missing, however.
"No, I waa not afraid of him," said
Morse, referring to the man's rout. "Yes,
I was alone In the house, but I think he
was more frieghtened than I was. He
must have heard me coming In the hall,
and started to escape."
The suit box which the roan carried was
found to contain nothing.
"It is a new Idea in daylight robberies,"
observed Captain J. H. Savage of the de
tective force. "If he had been seen en
tering the house It would have been an
excuse to say he was from a tailor shop."
Youngster Consigned,

Boy Put on Train and Tagged for
Omaha is Delivered to His
Mother.
A consignment of one small boy. Richard
Shelander, 8 years old. shipped from Den
ver, was held by the police yesterday, who
were unable to deliver the little chap to
an address which does not exist.
Th boy was put on the train, prepaid
and tagged for Mrs. Shelander, 2208 "West"
Twenty-first street, Omaha.
"Have you a small boy looking for his
folks around here?" said A. C. Shelander
at police headquarters at S o'clock In the
afternoon. A moment later there was
glad shout, and 'the happiest youngster
In Omaha was taken from the matron's
quarters. i
The father explained that the boy had
been visiting an aunt In Denver. To see
him arrive safely In Omaha, he bad been
tagged, but the tag said "West" Instead
of "North" Twenty-first street
The boy arrived in Omaha early in the
morning. A policeman took charge of
him at the Burlington station.

RULE OF REASON
TO RE THE GUIDE
Administration Makes Known Its
Policy with Respect to Late
Trust Decisions.
NOTHING NEW IN ATTITUDE
Justice Harlan's Dissent Will Cause
No Hesitation.
MANY BILLS BEFORE CONGRESS
These Are to Be Disregarded in All
Procedure.
CABINET MEMBER TALKS IT OVER
Derision as to Criminal rroneratloaa
of 51 embers of Tobacco Trast
Not Yet Reached by the
Government.
WASHINGTON. D. C. May 30.-That the
government means to formulate Its anti
trust policies In accordance with the "rule
cf reason" as laid down by the supreme
court in the Standard Oil and tobacco
trust decisions, notwithstanding the vigor
ous dissents of Associate Justice Harlan,
nd the many bills Introduced In the senate
to amend the Sherman anti-trust law waa
made evident today.
AdmlnlMtatlon officials, after a day's
consideration and study of the tobacco de
cision and a thorough comparison with
the Standard OH decision, were agreed that
"the rule of reason"' Is no new feature of
the supreme court's interpretation of law,
and one member of the cabinet, whose
views have always been regarded as re
flecting those of the administration, made
a comprehensive statement to that effect.
The statement was attributed to "an of
ficial close to the administration."
The possibilities of criminal prosecutions
of the Individual members of the tobacco
trust which was ordered dissolved by the
supreme .court yesterday sre being care
fully considered at the Department of Jus
tice. Neither Attorney General Wickersham
or any of his associates on the big case
would make any statement today as to
the probable course of the government and
no decision on that point Is likely to be
made for several days.
In respect to criminal prosecutions, how
ever, the tobacco case la said to differ
somewhat from the Standard OH case. In
the latter, Attorney General Wickersham
said no criminal prosecutions were under
way, but declined to say positively that
none were contemplated. Certain questions
regarding the application of the statute of
limitation enter into both cases and It Is
raid that the legal problems are very deli
cate ones.
May Delay Am4arstt. ,
Sentiment In favor of amending the Sher
man anti-trust law so as to make "every"
restraint of trade a violation of the luw
Instead of only "unreasonable" restraints,
waa pronounced by several senators today
as perceptibly reduced by the decision of
the supreme court In the tobacco case.
No Intention, however, of abandoning the
proposed attempt to amend, the law has
been announced by the senators who In
troduced amendments In the senate lust
sfter the Standard OH decision. It .is said
nevertheless that the stubborn defense of
the law and of the Interpretation by the
court would be made on the floor of the
senate If the amendments are urged for
passage.
The drastic remedy held over the heai's
of the defendants In the tobacco case In
event they do not remedy tho evils com
plained of by the court, is said to have
strengthened the faith of those who ac
cepted the majority opinion of the court In
the Standard Oil case as the proper course.
The decree In the tobacco case Is taken by
such persons as showing that the Sherman
anti-trust law Is an Instrument by which
every evil of this nature in Interstate com
merce may be crushed out, "if the govern
ment only possesses the will and energy to
do so."
The decision of the supreme court has
been read with interest by President Taft
and members of his cabinet, but It is prob
able they will prefer to wait for several
months to outline definite anti-trust poli
cies. If additional legislation Is then
thought necessary. President Taft will
recommend it In his messages to congress.
Helloes: Rearards It as Victory,
ST. PAUL. May 30 "Taking the Stand
ard OH case and the tobacco case together.
I don't see any loophole through which the
trusts can escape. Any combination or
monopoly, whatever form it takes, can be
reached under the rule laid down In these
decisions."
That was the statement today of Frank
B. Kellogg, who successfully prosecuted
the Standard Oil dissolution suit on behalf
of the government
"I can find no cause for uneasiness in
the recently enunciated doctrine of 'reason
able restraint,' " he continjed. "I Judge
the government won on every contention
In the tobacco case and that the case Is
simply sent back to enable the court below
to enter a decree completely to evr the
various properties conveyed to the Amer
ican Tobacco company. j
"There was no necessity for sending the
Standard Oil case back, because the decree
In the couht below was a complete sever
ance of the corporations."
Traat Official Not Alarmed.
RICHMOND, Va.. May 30. The supreme
court's decision In the tobacco case Is
viewed with little concern by the operating
officials of the American Tobacco com
pany's huge factories here.
"It cannot reduce our output," said one
official today, "as the demand for cigars,
cigarettes, chewing tobacco and even for
snuff Is increased.
"Manufacturing must go on, but It seems
probable that under the required 'reorgani
sation we may be inconvenienced by hav
ing a clumsier and more extensive sys
tem, with separate companies. Increased
bookkeeping, more officers and other fea
tures not In harmony with modern and
scientific business methods."

' PUEBLA. Mexico., May 30. An uprising
which resulted In the killing of forty per
sons and the sacking of stores, government
offices and private homes occurred last
night at Cholula, a town with a population
of about 10,000, eight miles from this dty.
The rebels set fire to the town, which Is
threatened with destruction. Mob rule pre
vails at Cholula and It Is feared that
Puebla may be attacked.
A band of revolutionists demanded the
surrender of Cholula at 2 o'clock yester
day, but the authorities refused to capitu
late and Ihe townspeople armed themselves
as best they could to defend their homes
and to assist the small garrison of rurales.
Hot fighting followed. The smoke from
the battle and the burning buildings was
plainly visible from this city. Refugees
say that the mob was victorious and that
vandalism and Incendiarism were given
full swav.
The fate of Cholula brings the fear that
Puebla will be subjected to the same fate.
There was great unrest In the city all day
and many people are terror-stricken. Manl
festants numbering over 1,000 marched the
streets, carrying Madero banners. ,
This being the Saints day of Serdan. the
first victim of revolution In Mexico, per
mission was asked to hold a demonstration

fending the city against attack.

30. Ray Harroun, driving a Harmon car.
won the 50u-mile race today In hours, 11
minutes, 8 seconds. Mulford (Loxler) was
second and Bruce-Brown (Fiat) was third.
As Harroun drove up to the Marmon pit
he was surrounded by a wildly enthusi
astic crowd, cheering him and trying to
grasp his hands. He ran his car Into the
infield and stopped.
"Gee, I'm hungry," he said, as he
crawled out from under the steering wheel.
Asked to make a formal statement, the
victor In the first SOO-mile race ever run on
a speedway said:
"All credit is due my car for the bril
liant victory. At no time was the throttle
wide open and I relied solely on consistent
high speed to win for me over occasional
bursts in the back stretch. The weather
was noticeably warm, although I did not
suffer in any way from the heat.
"The last hundred miles was by far tho
easiest of the entire run and the car was
