Amerien Relief association, have
Inaugurated a novel plan for raising
funds, which they are pushing all
over the country, and h!ch Is ex
pected to bring In very substantial
contributions to be sent to co-operating
societies In Germany.
The plan contemplates the collec
tion of the autograph of the con
tributor upon sheets that are to be
bound with a handsome allegorical
frontispiece Into a commemorative
autograph album to be deposited in
the imperial library in Berlin.
The offlcera of the local Illlfa
Vereln are: President, Mrs. Bertha

Haarmann; secretary, . Mrs. Olga
Koehneman; treasurer, Mrs. A.

the ; signature are each separately
numbered 'and contain blank for
100 names inside of a decorative
border. Twelve hundred of these
sheets have already been sent out to
different German newspaper and o
cletie In the United States and are
said to be rapidly filling. Six sheet
have already been Inscribed in
Omaha, the first signature being that
of Fred Krug, for which apecial
privilege he made a contribution of
$100. The accompanying letter of
transmittal explains the plan of the
project substantially as follows:

"We 0rman trorwn of Omaha have

Ins from the terrible war forced upon
It by -Its enemies., Much has already
bren done, but much more remains to
be done. Many open hands are ready
to help, but let us unita our forces mora
energetically.
"While the plan to exchaug iron rings
or Pns bearing the motto, "gold for Iron,"
for old Bold Jewelry and ornaments has
produced handsome returns, we, however,
come forward now with a new plan of
contribution. We wlail to prepare a me
morial album, which will be ent to
Germany at the end M the war and will
be deposited In the Imperial library or
museum In remembrance of this critical
time and a proof of our support of the
to me country. Each and every one who
Inacrlbes his name on the leaves of this
album Is asked to contribute not less
than 25 cents, the equivalent ot a mark,

we are sending to newspapers and Ger

collect the signatures and the money will
be acknowledge In the Omaha Tribune.
Thoee who tlnd no lint accessible to
them may send their contribution direct
for which they will receive a reoelpt
bearing the number of the page upon
which the nam will be Inscribed and the
book. We are firmly convinced that In
this manner a very considerable sum
can be secured for relief Of the -needy

CASTLE HOTEL OPEN;

Day. .
LOBBY ' A MASS OF FLOWERS
The Castle hotel, Sixteenth and
Jones streets, was opened to the pub
lic Saturday.
From 2 p. m. till after midnight.
Manager Fred A. Castle kept open
house and received the congratula
tions of an apparently unlimited
number of friends." '
Everybody was welcome and made
to feel at home.' It wasn't far-between
punch tables and stands where
little caVe and confections were dis
pensed to everybody.
The lobby seemed a mas of flow
ers. An enormous Dasset design ex
pressed the good wishes of the
Omaha Hotel Men's association. One
bouquet came from' the Ellis' lodge.
A large horseshoe design had a place
on top of the safe. And there were
about twenty others.
Every department of the hotel Is In full
operation and the names of guests cov
ered three pages of the register the first
day.
Dancing; In Rail Room,
In the evening the ball room on the
second floor waa crowded to see an ex
hibition of fancy dancing under the di
rection of Wlllard Chamber
People were allowed to go through the
building as they pleased and on all floors
they were busy Inspecting the rooms and
wondering at the completeness and
beauty of this new caravanssry that has
been added to Omaha's equipment for en
tertaining the etranjer within Its gates,
won' as ine citizen.
The wliole affair seemed actually to
reflect the personality of the manager
to a remarkable degree. It waa ftiformal.
Everybody was told to make himself and
herself at home. And everybody did that
so that It seemed like a big family af
fair.
And so the "House of Safety," as Mr.
Castle has called It, la open for. business.

for Juan Menendcx. slayer of Town Mar
shal Thomas lisrrls, Menendez, probably
mortally wounded, was surrounded ly
special guards tn the cc-Unty jail at
Oreen River, sixteen miles distent, to
which he was moved by Khcrlff Mstt Mc
Court early yesterday, when It became
certain that Harris would die.
The mob, when It learned that Menen
de had been spirited to the county
scat, considered lynching Alflro Ver
ranaa, a friend of Menendes', who lay
In the city all with a ghastly wound
In his neck, but waa dissuaded frim
this by tha pleas ot police, who argued
that Verransa had had no connection
with the killing of Harris.
Tries .to Seen re 1' ra I k,
Lter the mob attempted to secure a
special train, intending to go to Green
River and lynch Menendes, but was not
successful, and rinally sullenly dis
persed. In anticipation of a further At
tempt summarily to avenge the death of
(Harris, Sheriff McCourt will have Metn-
endes kept under stronr guard at Green
River or Rawlins, a rumor which the
officer will not discuss, saying that
Menendes has been transferred to the
latter place, which Is 120 miles east of
here.
The death of Harris, who was a popu
lar officer, caused public feeling to reach
white heat. It was not publically known
that Menendes, who was shot twice af
ter he had shot Harris last Saturday, at
11 o'clock yesterday morning had been
taken from the state hospital here and
placed aboard a train, and early last
evening- knots of men began to collect
In the business district and discuss the
advisability of lynching the prisoner.
March on City Hall.
Prior to the shooting of Harris, Men
endes and Verransa had been mcbers of
party of Mexican carousers who en
gaged in a fight among themselves. In
this fracas Verranza'a throat was gashed
by another Mexican,, the wound almost
resulting In hie death from hemorrhage
before a surgeon could gleve htm atten
tion. He has been hold In jail as a wit
ness against his assailant should the
latter be caught.
. While Menendes was at bay on the roof.
another member of tho party of Mexicans
smashed' a plate-glass window in a
neighboring building and stole a quan
tity of merchandise, escaping with his
loot In the excitoment incidental to the
siege of the saloon.

At 8 o'clock leaders for an attempt 'at
lynching had been found and a mob of
300 formed and marched to the city hall.
Invading the chief of pjollce's office and
packing Into the halls of the building.
ho statement that Menedea had been
taken out of town was not believed
until the officers unlocked the jail and
permitted representatives "of the mob to
search It. Menendes was not found, but
Verransa was discovered. 'When the mob
was informed that Menendes really was
gone there was a demonstration against
Verransa and the police with difficulty
prevented him -from being dragged from
the jail and killed. ; v ' - A
Leaving the city Jilll. the mob went to
the railroad yards -and attempted to se
cure a switch' engine and cars for a,
trip to Green River but could not find
such equipment, 'hree automobiles loaded
with friends of Harris left town for
Green River soon after the mob dispersed
but ss no demonstration occured at Green
River It Is supposed that this expedi
tion was abandoned before tha county
seat was reached.
Fight Anions; Reives. ,
oday the town waa quiet, but the guard
about Menendes will be maintained.
Menendes shot Marshal, Harris last
Saturday night when the officer at
tempted to arrest him as he was rob
bing a saloon. Menendes had driven the
bartender and port or from the place and
was rifling the cash-register when Har
rls, who had been summoned by the bar-t
tender, stepped through the door. . In
stantly Menendes opened fire and Harris
fell with three wounds.
Menendes fled to the second story of
the saloon building and crawled out on
an adjacent roof, where he lay at bay.
An officer flanked him by going Into
an adjacent building and shot him twice.
He crawled back Into the saloon build
ing but was too badly wounded to make
further resistance end found helpless

BAKERIES LOSE OUT
BY REDICK RULING
Former Decision in Police Conrt Not
Binding at to Future Prose-cntioni.
BURNS IS DISMISSED
Decision once made by Police Judge
Fouler that the Omaha bread ordinance Is
unconstitutional does not prevent future
prosecutions for violations of the enact
ment. District Judge Rcdick decided In
the case airalnst the Jsy Burns Baking
company, charged with selling under
weight bread.
As a result, It Is anticipated by City
Preaecutor Anheuser, the tgklng com
pany will be compelled to defend the
suits against It on their merits. It in
terposed a pla that on account of Fos
ter's decision a later conviction by Acting
Judge Haecall was null and void. It was
thla plea which was overruled by the dis
trict judge.
Judge Hedlck did not pa sir on the con
stitutionality of the bread ordinance.
This point. It was said, will next be raised
by the baking company. Similar ordi
nances, according to Anheuser, have
been upheld by supreme courts of several
states and by the United States supreme
court
Because the ordinance applies only t
tha slxe ot loaves and does not dictate
their price. It Is "regulatory,", and a
proper exercise of the city's police power,
asserted the city prosecutor.
"Rusty Shovel" Gone
From Omaha History
Workmen yesterday completed the de
molishing of the noted old "Rusty
Shovel" lodging house at Sixteenth and
Davenport streets, which was torn down
to make way for a new six-story building
soon to be erected.
The "Rusty Shovel" is one of the relics
of Omaha halcyon days, when Mickey
Mullen's "theater" was operating In full
blast right across the stmet and when
Omaha waa a wide open town.
Just what the real name of the house
waa seem to be forKotten, but for years
It has been familiarly called the "Rusty
Shovel." It was originally a good second
class hotel, bat later deteriorated into a
questionable place. Lately It has been
used as a 10-cent "flop house'' by itin
erants. Diggs Nolen Caught

GRUESOME PHOTOS SHOWN
National ChUd Labor Exhibit All
Week at the Conntj Court
House,
H0FE FOX SOME LEGISLATION
How rosy babes from three to a down
years of age are fed Into the Jews of the
great factories to come out ss human
Junk In a few years, is Illustrated with
ttartllng realism tn a f-w score of big
photographs at the National Child Labor
exhibit now on at the Douglas county
court house.
"I don't like your poster." said a mer
chant who saw a beautiful American flnir
waving over the staggering wrecks of
children, ready for the scrap heap. They
are real photographs.
If they were paintings, one might llko
them, for combination of colors are
pretty even if they do tell an uely story.'
But real photographs are so shameless
In their reproduction of details, such as
an arm gone' at the shoulder of in
year-old boy, two fingers gone from the
hand of a ll-year-old, standing at the door
of the factory that chewed them off.
So It is that the National Child Labor
committee has but a few score photo
graphs Illustrating the crime of child
labor. It haa but a flash of the. sceno
of horror. It has but a cross-sectional
view of the vast brigades ot aleshed am)
maimed children who steadily tramp,
tramp toward the grave aBd toward tho
prlsoni ajid almshouses.
Hope for Legislation.
The committee hopes for federal legis
lation that will put a stop to child labor.
It hopes for state legislation In all the
states of the union. It has Just lost a
fight in South Carolina, because the cot
ton mill men Instructed their senators
snd repreoentptlves on the subject. It
has Just lost a fight in the federal con-'
grees, because the mill men and coal
miners of a dozen eastern states in
structed their senators and representa
tives. Still this committee" is working.
It ts working; to build a public sentiment
that senators and representatives cannot
afford to disregard.
Josephine J. Eechenbrenner, member
ship secretary, is In charge of the ex
hibit Which Is to be at the court house
all week. It has been traveling for a
half year through the middle west.
Hundreds of people gasped when they
visited the exhibit yesterday.
Look at Child's
Tongue If Sick,
Cross, Feverish
Look at the tongue, mother! If coated,
it is a sure sign that your little one's
stomach, liver and bowels need a gentle,
thorough cleansing at once.
When peevish, cross, listless, pale,
doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act nat
urally, or Is feverish, stomach sour,
breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore
throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a tea
spoonful of "California fiyrup of Figs,"
and In, a few hours all the foul, constipated-
waste, undigested food and sour
bile gently moves out of its little bowels
without griping, and : you have a well,
playful child again. .
You needn't coax sick children to take
this harmless "fruit laxative;" they love
Its delicious taste, and it always piakee
them feel eplendid.
Ask your druggist for a EO-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs." which
has directions for babies, children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly on the
bottle. Beware of Counterfeits sold here.
To be sure you get the genuine, ask to
see that it is made by "California Fig
Syrup Company." Refuse any other
,kind with contempt. Advertisement.
