MWTH MAKES TSRM JHT8 The Rourkes for the second time this year demonstrated their clas yesterday afternoon by lacing the' Mil waukee American association club, 7 to 5, before less than 200 people. The Rourkes had their war togs on yesterday and they hammered both Goodwin and Feath, the twirling Mil waukee persons, in a most scandalous manner, accumulating a total of four teen blows. Earl Smith, just returned by the Cubs, who overlooked a good bet when they discarded him, led the on slaught with three bingles, one of which was a triple. Shag Thompson, Cy Forsythe, Joe Burg and Hal Brok aw each combed out two hits. Three.runs was the toll of trie first Rourke bombardment m the second stanza. Cy Forsythe started it with a single to left. He took second on Burg's infield out and counted on Tony Brottem's two-base knock to left center. Hal Brokaw hit the left field wall with a double scoring Tony and Sfter Currie whiffed, Smith doubled to left, scoring Brokaw. In the next round Thompson beat out a bunt and Krug walked. Both advanced on , Forsythe's out and marked on Burg's single to left. Smith's single, Irelan's sacrifice, Thompson's single and Forsythe's drive through the box scored two in the seventh. Three One-Banded Catches. Currie and Barham did the hurlitfg for Omaha. Both pitched nice ball. Shag Thompson made three one handed catches in center. One was a 'spear of a line drive by McHenry. On the other two Shag misjudged them in the sun and had to make them one-handed. ' Hal Brokaw was shifted to first base yesterday. It was discovered he used to play (hat bag before he became an outfielder, so Smith was placed in his old position in left and Brokaw put on first. He played a good fielding game and made two solid hits. Rourke and Krug expect him to prove a" win ner at first cushion. The Rourkes play their next game Saturday, when Des Moines conies for a two-game series. Score: OMAHA. MILWAUKEE. ABH.O.A.S. a'bH.O.A.E.

These are the tidings Pa Rourke brought back to Omaha yesterday from Kansas City, where Saturday and Sunday he had a conference with John McGraw. "McGraw is crazy over Kilduff,"; Pa said. "He declares Pete i the best-looking prospect he's seen in years. He likes Krueger, too, and! says he will keep both men." Omaha fans suspected McGraw would take to Kilduff., Pete is a scrappy youngster of just the type McGraw likes. It was figured Krueger might be sent back, because McGraw has three Veteran catchers in Mc Carthy, Rairden and Gibson, but Muggsy has decided to use Gibson only as a coach and will not play him at all. McGraw alto promised Rourke a pucner. just, wno we Hurler win be the Giant leader could not say, but said be would send a man who will be i winner in the Western.

Running safely through the dangers of the German submarine blockade of. Great Britain and without sighting a. periscope either oti the outward or homewaid journey, the American mail and pas senger liner St. Louis arrived at its home dock today,. The St. Louis was the first American' passenger boat to be armed and travel through the dan ger zone around the British isles since Germany's declaration of : January 31 and it was well armed for the trip The homeward vogage was a stormy one. A hundred miles off , the coast of Ireland, a gale threatened the de struction of the life boats which, bad been partly lowered, and it -became necessary to lie to for two hours while they were made secure. There was an anxious time, as the stop was made directly in the normal path of tier man submarines returning to their home base. - Now that the American ship has completed its memorable voyage, it is possible to tell how good luck prob ably saved her from destruction. There appears no room for doubt that the German admiralty knew of its departure and took steps to de stroy it. The British" patrol, fleet knew this, and so did those in com mand of the St. Louis before it was far. into the war zone. Running at full speed during the night, with the coast of Ireland and its submarine-infested waters in the distance, "S. O. S." calls of ships in distress came to the watchful wireless operator of the St. Louis. A ship had been torpedoed about seventy-five miles ahead of the St. Louis and directly in its path. Soon another call for help showed that another steamer had met the same fate a hundred miles south, while a Austrian Ships in United States Ports Seized by Officials New York, April 9 The Austrian steamships Martha Washington and Himalaya, self-detained in port here, were today seized by the customs au thorities: , Philadelphia, April 9. The collec tor of the port of Philadelphia today took physical possession of the Aus trian steamer Franconia. Boston, Mass.', April 9. The Aus trian steamer Erny, war-bound here, was seized today by port officials after announcement from Washington that Austria-Hungary had broken off dip lomatic relations with the United States." The Erny is the only Aus trian refugee ship at this port. Newport News, Va.,April 9. The Austrian steamer Budapest, tied up here since shortly after the outbreak of the European war, was seized to day by fedeVal officials. New Orleans, La., April 9. Three Austrian steamers, the Clara, Anna and Teresa, were taken in charge by federal authorities this afternoon. Houston, April 9. Deputy mar-; snals late this afternoon seized the Austrian steamships Morowitz and Campania. The . captains and crews of the seized ships are to be taken to immigration headquarters on Pelican island, Galveston, for further orders from the government. ; A later investigation revealed that the boilers of .both ships had been dis abled, rendering these ships unfit for' service without considerable repairs. Under oath the two Teutonic cap tains, Rakos of the Morowitz and Lupis of the Campania, said they had crippled the machinery on orders, but would not say from whom the orders had been received. Cottet, Advances Over Five Dollars a Bale New York, April 9. One of the most sensational advances in the cot ton trade occurred at the market's opening today. May contracts sold up to $5.55 and July $7.80 a bale above Thursday's closing prices. The upturn was attributed principal ly to the continued unfavorable weather east of the Mississippi, with the strength of the spot situation as an added factor. Here Is Prompt Relief From That Tired, That aMicti so many people just at this season. If you are easily fatigued, if you find your appetit failing,- and art gradually losing your energy and a feeling of weakness and lassitude is creeping over your entire body, do not disregard nature's warning signal. These symptoms mean that you are about to succumb to the impurities that have 'been accumulating in your system all winter, clogging up your blood supply and ' rendering you totally unfit for the Important change in seasons about to take place. . It is highly important that you give your system a general housecleaning, that you purify your blood and cleanse it of all impurities, so as to third tokl of the destruction of a British boat far to the westward out of the German war zone and in the path the St, Louis iad traveled. The St. Louis rrived off the bar of Marsey .before dawn. There was no pilot boat at hand and the Amer ican linear was compelled to steam out side the bar where it was known a German submarine had been work ing th night before, until driven away by patrol' boats. During this time a neutral steamer which had been in the harbor had attempted to go to sea. It was caught dropping mine inside the bar, eighty of them being strewn about, it was reported. Patrol -boats picked up or destroyed all but two-of these. The St. Louis crossed the bar and went up the narrow channel about 10 o'clock in the morning. About an hour later the British 'steamer Kel vinhead crossed the bar, struck one of the lost mine and sank. The St. Louis could not have missed this mine by more than twenty feet. How it escaped destruction was a mystery to the British officers and the amazed Americans were congratulated when they reached their docks. It was the report around the Liv erpool docks that' the vessel caught strewing mines was a Swedish boat. This was not confirmed by the Brit ish. Nor is the fate of the officers of the Swedish ship knowq. These things are not given out or even talked about by England's ; sailors. The decision in their cases was not long delayed. It was the belief of the British that the big guns aboard the St Louis held no terrors for the German sub marines. The fortune of war was on the side of the Americans. Minister Who Said War Unrighteous Burned in Effigy Portland, Me., April; 9.-The Rev. Charles E. Joy, pastor of the First Unitarian church, the oldest and one of the richest ones in the country, was burned in effigy in front of his church by a party of unidentified men last night after he had preached a sermon in which he was repcrted as saying in his opinion "the war in which we serve is an unrighteous war." ' During his sermon Dr. Joy it said to have declared that neither by act or word could he aid hit country in what he believed was its wrong do ing. ' '! "I believe my country has failed in th. moment of its. great opportunity," ha said. "We have taken the discred ited weapons of warfare to defend ourselves against an attack which has never been directed against ls. From this pulpit prayers shall ascend for Germans and Americans alike. There will be no orayer that victory may crown the arms of America." In clos ing the preacher said his resignation was at the disposal of the church if desired. President Wilson Replies To Message of King George London, April 9.

STATEOIMEY DIES Statesman Who Made Great Reputation in Deal with Brit ain k Dead at Boston. XKKTY-TWO YIAB6 OLD Boston, Mass., April 9. Richard Olney, secretary of state during Pres ident Cleveland's administration, died at his home here last night Mr. Olney, who was 82 years old, had been ill several weeks, although it was not until yesterday that his condition became serious. In an an nouncement issued by the family to day it stated that he died suddenly at 8:45 o'clock last night. Mrs. Olney and their daughter, Mrs. George R. Minor, of this city, were with him at the end. Mr. Olney's other duagh ter, Mrs. C. H. Abbott, is residing temporarily in Paris. Recently while unable to leave his bed, Mr. Olnejr had displayed very deep interest in the international situation. It was said that he warmly commended the action of the gov ernment when members of his family informed him on Friday that Presi dent Wilson had signed a proclama tion of war. ,. 1 His Greatest Triumph. Richard Olney served successively as attorney general and secretary of state during the second administra tion of President Cleveland, and al though at the head of the State de partment for the short period of one year and nine months only, he won reputation as a statesman of com manding ability and force. His great est triumph was his successful in sistence upon arbitration- of the boundary dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela. Imperturbably disregarding the warnings that a rigid maintenance of the Monroe doctrine might plunge the United States into war with Great Britain, v President Cleveland and Secretary Olney carried out their own ideas of diplomacy. . Although Lord Salisbury at first refused to submit to the American demand, upon further representations he receded from his attitude and agreed to the arbitration of the entire dispute. : Mr. Olney's firmness previously be came familiar to the American public through his action in the great Chi cago railroad strike and subsequent riots, when as attorney general he upheld the right and duty of the gov ernment to employ troops to crush the disorder. . In refutation of charges that this attitude indicated his hostility to la bor unions, Mr. Olney, in a special brief filed in a federal court in Penn sylvania in the case of a railroad trainmen's strike, on the Reading rail road, only five months after the end of the Chicago strike, upheld the FEDERAL TIRES Rugged Tread m. t .asis. nam atv.'.i; scai , Equal to the best in quality and service, Federal Tires have a great advantage over all others in their Double-Cable-Base Construction.

Mr. Olney was born in Oxford, Mass., in 1835. His father was a tex tile manufacturer and banker. In the years following his graduation from the Harvard law school in 1K58 Mr. Olney won high distinction in his profession and became an authority on matters of probate, trust and cor poration law. His sole appearance in public office before going to Wash ington was in 1875, when he served one term in the Massachusetts house of representatives. President Wilson urged him to accept .appointment as ambassador to Great , Britain and later offered him the position of gov ernor of the Federal Reserve board, but in each instance Mr. QJney de clined. His public utterances always com manded thoughtful attention and at tracted widespread comment. Long after his retirement from his compar atively brief career in public -office Mr. Olney's counsels were eagerly sought by members of the democratic party. American Ship Seward Sunk Without Warning Washington, VPf'l 9.
