charge Of suboruation OF perjury was the
chief topic of conversation in legal circles

SUPREME COURT CENSURED
Knights of Labor General Assembly De-
nounoes the Cline Decision,
OBJECTIONS TO THE LANGUAGE USED
Labor ORGANIZATIONS Are Not Hands
of Conspirntors-Cour opinion
Referred to ns TrnNcsty
on Justice.

WASHINGTON. Nov. t9.--The general as
sembly of the Knights OF Labor today took
congnizance of the opinion rendered yester-
day by Justice Brewer of the United States
supreme court. affirming the decision Of
Judge Ross, sentencing Cline and three others
OF the California railroad strikers to eighteen
months in prison for obstructIng the mails.
Master Workman Sovereign presented the
following resolution which was adopted by
unanimous vote:
Whereas The supreme court of the
United states has affirmed the decision OF
Judge Ross, which decision raised ms,
demeanor to a felony and sent FOUR lo' az
officers of the American Railway union at
Los Angeles, Cal, to prison for eighteen
months and
Whereas, The decision cf the United states
supreme court places all labor ORGANIZATIONS
in the role of criminal conspirators; and
Whereas Said decision afIirms that n
greater penalty can be imposed for con,
spiracy to commit at crime than Is imposed
Resolved, That this general assembly of
the knights of Labor earnestly protests
against such a travesay on justice and out
condemns said court for its partial ruling in
the interest Of the plutocratic classes and
It's abridgement of the constitutional rights
OF the laboring people.
In supporting the resolution Mr. Sovereign
said that the imprisoned men had acted as
a committee, one of them urging a railroad
engineer not to take the place of striker.
There had been, he asserted, no interference,
no threats, and the engineer had volunteered
to talk to the committee.
The resolution was thsn passed. with the
understanding that 1t would be supplemented
later by one for the election of the supreme
court judiciary by popular vote.

scottish Clans Receive n chief and
niH EnpbhNe.

Scottish clansmen gathered in numbers IN
Patterson hall last night to celebrate an occa-
sion in which sorrow and Joy were so min
gled that neither predominatcd and the afrair
therefore took on a mellowness that rem
dered II one Of pleasure even II 1t was a
formal farewell to one Of the friends Of Clan
Gordon. william Ross, the secretary. The
rejoicing was in the shape OF welcome to
an honored friend, the royal chief Of the
order, w. II. Steen Of Braidwood. ILL.,
The earlier portion OF the evening was
spent in the lodge rooms Of the clan where
an hour was spent in business session.
Meanwhile the wives. daughters. sisters
sweethearts and friends of the members
gathered in the large hall until almost every
seat was occupied. and when the members
the majority in the pretty plaid and other
regalia, arrived. they barely found standing
room, The program Of speech music and
song and refreshments was at once begun.
Royal Chief Steen naturally devoted his
speech to the order OF which he is the SUI
preme representative. He spoke of Clan
Douglas of st. Louis, No. l, the clan from
which the order had sprung, and which con-
sisted at first Of only number of Scotchmen
who had gathered together to contribute
few dollars to aid the ber2aved relatives OF
deceased Scotchmen. lie related how the or

other Scottish society He remarked concern
ing the advantages of the order and urged
the feminine relatives of the members to
speak good of it whenever opportunity
offered, because its primary object was to
help them. He concluded by detailing the
present prosperous condition of the order.
In the very midst of his speech he stopped
and then spoke particularly to Secretary
Ross who is about to leave the city. He
called Mr. Ross to the platform. and in
few heartfelt words regarding his service to
the clan, he presented to him on behalf of
the clan jewel fashioned in the shape of
an order emblem Mr.. Ross responded
briefly and feelingly.
The rest of the program followed. 1t was
composed of solos by Mrs. Fett, Mrs, Lees
and Messrs. Robert Difiin and Jameson,
mandolin and guitar duets by Albert and
Wilbur lines. recitations by Jessie Bance
and Robert Beath. vic in solos by Charles
Lindsay and a pretty Scottish dance by the
pupils of Prof. Gray. The whole program
was good. and 1t was Scot throughout, and
everybody at its conclusion felt exceedingly
well pleased with himself, with the per-
formers and everybody else.
The very last and mayhap the most pleas
ing feature of all was a savory and right
royal lunch prepared and served by the femi-
nine friends of the members.

ScIman Divorce Suit out of Court
CInwson Gets His Decree.
Eta Selman has dismissed the suit for
divorce which she filed a few days ago against
her husband, John, apparently having come
to the conclusion that John is not such a bad
fellow after all.
In her petition Mrs. Selman alleged that
John had committed all kinds of outrages
upon her. She said that he had frequently
struck her with pieces of furniture, at one
time almost breaking her arm, and al another
njuring her spine. She also charged that in
tho middle of last winter her husband drove
her out of the house one night when she was
arrayed only in her night clothes and kept
her in the freezing atmosphere for half an
hour.
The troubles Of another mismated couple
were aired before Judge Dutfie yesterday
and when they had all been told the court
granted decree Of divorce to the husband,
Matthias Clawson, from his wife, Della.
Della was charged with intidelity to her
marriage VOWS.

CHICAGO Nov 19.-Many people in this
section and west of here have been for many
days calling loudly for change in the
weather. They found It when they arose this
morning. Snow began falling heavily in the
far northwest yesterday, and, chased along
by a cold wave and high wind, came to this
section in hurry.
Last evening gave no particular promise Of
winter and even at 3 o'clock this morning
only mild rain was falling. Soon after that
hour, however the cold wind changed the
situation and snow and sleet have been coming
down since. The streets are covered with
over three inches of mixed mud and snow
street traffic in the city is hampered and
pedestrians are having a terrible time.
Telegraph and telephone wires are covered
with mass of slush and swollen to four
times their usual size. AS a result of this
storm telesraphic communication with the
northwest and many points west is seriously
Interrupted, wires having been broken and
in some places poles pulled down by the
strain. Trains are delayed on several rail

Omnhn Got Its share.

That advertised cold wave reached Omaha
on schedule time, and fully met the expecta-
tlon Of the sangune weather man. He had
announced that the temperature would drop
twenty to thirty degrees within thirty-siX
hours from o'clock Monday evening As
a matter of fact, the temperature fell exactly
thirty degrees. When the evening reading
was taken Monday at Z o'clock the themom-
eter registered 49, and twenty-four hours
later it registered Is. Only trace Of precpi-
tation was recorded. Mondays maximum
temperature was 81, and the mean for the day
was 44 Tuesdays maximum was 26, and
the mean 22 deficiency Of fifteen degrees
for the day. These figures show better than
anything else the severity Of the cold snap
that overlook Omaha in conjunction with the
entire northwest. Fair and warmer weather
is promised for today.
