T THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26. 1916. AT T UN WARNS THAT il JJJJ1J11 II jillliL i tin BIG CRISIS IS HEAR Kansas Editor Tells Packing House Employes of Dangers of Continuing Demo Rule. SPEAKS AT ROME TONIGHT ' "Tlie real issue," said Henry J. Al len, the Kansas editor, in a talk to 5'K.i packing house employes on the Suuth Side at noon, "is to create a condition of industrial self defense for this nation to meet all needs. "You cannot protect yourselves by a r.uliry of free trade to the world." He spoke from an automobile at the west end of the Q street viaduct. Later he spoke in the Exchange build ing at the stocks yards. He urged the packing house em ployes to stand fur a policy of ade quate protection to safeguard Ameri can labor and American industries :;.Sainst the invasion of foreign prod ucts. European Factories Busy. "The talk of the factories in .tiuropo being destroyed by the war is ill a mistake," he said. "Not a fac- tory in Europe has been dismantled. They haven't heard the sound of a cannon in the great industrial centers of England. Not a cannon shot has approched anywhere near the great factories of Germany. "On the contrary, there are more factories in operation in Europe to day than ever before. They have taken little machine shops and con verted them into great efficient fac tories, turning out great quantities of munitions of war. The women of England and Germany have learned to man the factories while their hus bands are off at the war. "According to a German economist writing in a current magazine, the German factories have gone right on producing goods, and have today $1,' 500,000,000 worth of products stored in great warehouses awaiting the hour when the war shall be ovej, when Germany can again reach the sea and begin to trade with the world. "America will then confront a crisis never seen before in its lifetime. You men would be doing a foolish thing to attempt to meet this with a condition ot free trade. We need a Drotective tariff, which we have hitherto always had to protect Ameri can labor. "This Ereat institution, he con tinued, pointing to the packing houses, "has $7,000,000 worth of packed beef stored uo to feed the soldiers of Eu rope. In a little while, God willing, that war will be over, and the demand for our meat will not be so great abroad. Then they will begin to pack their own meat abroad. Then they will begin to look for an opportunity to sell meat here in competition with American producers. They iwill say they can pack meat ana sell it cheaper, than the Americans, because they can hire their labor at one-fourth the wages paid he"re. Then these factories will reduce their activity, and you men will suffer the consequences. Men Out of Employment. Attacking the "democratic claim of prosperity under the democratic ad ministration, the speaker declared there are 175,000 men out of employ ment in Chicago, 50.000 in San Fran cisco and isU.UUU in New York City, A committee of republicans in two automobiles met Mr. Allen at the train. The plan was to meet him at the Kock Island on the south side, but the committee missed him there ind had to follow the train to the Union station in Omaha.

Oscar McDaniel, prosecuting attorney, was arrested tonight on a state warrant, charging him with the murder of his wife, Harriet Moss McDaniel, who was found dying in her bedroom the night of July 15. McDaniel laughed when .arrested, and on the way to police headquar ters obtained permission to buy some cigars. Mrs. McDaniel was found dying by her husband, who told during an exhaustive coroner's inquest of a mystifying and sensational series of circumstances, which excited public feeling to a high pitch. . The murder of Mrs. McDaniel was coupled with an alleged attempt to kill the prose cutor, also, and in public statements Mr. McDaniel charged that law vio lators against whom he had been active were responsible for the crime. On the night ot tue murder Ale Daniel testified at the inquest, he received a decoy telephone message which took hiin downtown in his au tomobile. He returned home after finding no one who knew of the mes sage. As he alighted from his car in front of his garage, a shot was fired at him, he said, followed several others. Crouching behind the car he re turned the fire with a pistol which he was carrying because of threats having been made against his life. He was uninjured and hurried into the house when the firing ceased. Upstairs in bed he discovered his wife dying from wounds inflicted by some blunt instrument. Nearby their children still slept undisturbed. Mrs McDaniel never recovered con sciousness, sufficient to make a state ment. The prosecutor took an active per sonal interest in the investigation of the murder and the public hearings held by the cornier over a period of several weeks. Substantial rewards were offered for the arrest of the murderer. Several persons were detained in connection with the case, but all later released. A new feature was injected by a number of anoymous letters crudely written which purported to confess the crime, alleging as a mo tive a desire for revenge against the prosecutor. It was believed these let ters were written by an inmate of the county jail, awaiting trial, but no charges were made in this connection. When placed under arrest Mr. Mc Daniel only remark was, "all right." He requested the officers not to call for the patrol wagon and walked two miles to the police station. ' Bart Lockwood, special prosecutor appointed by the criminal court to in vestigate the case, declared that sev eral new witnesses had brought new light into the case. , Following an announcement last week of the Buchanan county court that it could not legally pay the ex Denses of a special prosecutor and a corps of detectives to investigate the murder, an appeal was made ty tne special attorney to the public for by j funds with which to carry on the in vestigation. Contributions were asked to be sent in care of the police de partment and newspapers. An offer was made by McDaniel to aid fin ancially in the search for the slayer. The arrested man has three chil dren, the eldest a boy of 14 years. What's There?
