INTERVIEWS ON THE NEW DEAL.


Sentiment of the Community Indi-
cHtes the Success of Exposition.
The following expressions of opinion in
dicate the prevailing sentiment OF the com
munity as TO the reorganization Of the
Greater America Exposition:
c. W. LYMAN not sufficiently in
formed as 10 the merits of the controversy
to express an opinion 1t. 1t is unfortu-
nate that the trouble arose in the first
place. AS to the prospects of the exposition
from now on, they seem to be excellent
The practical assurance Of good crops ought
TO insure the success OF the exposition
Herman Kountze-I think the stand the
papers have taken and the troubles the ex-
position got into have been most unfortu-
nate. While ! was opposed to the contin-
uance Of the exposition this year, ] think
that The Bee made a mistake in the manner
of its opposition. II is essential that the
exposition henceforth be made to succeed
for 1t would he very damaging TO Omaha
should 1t fail, now that II has been started
J. II. Evans-The reorganization OF the
executive committee was the only thing
considering that there was an entire lack
Of harmony before, IN such an enterprise
there must be unanimfty of action and if
that was the only way 10 secure it, it was
right While ] was opposed to this years
could be carried through with credit after
whit was done last year yet ii deserves
10 succeed now that it has been opened
There is a great deal TO see out there and
no more pleasant place 10 spend time any
whore near Omaha. ! see no reason why
II should not he carried on successfully.
J. n. Millard-The three men added to
the executive committee are all excellent
persons for the places and will do much 60
help the exposition although the success
OF the exposition Will depend on the whole
board and not simply on the efforts of a
few men. The prospects for the enter
prise are good There is no reason, with
all the prosperity in the country and no
composing exposition in the northwest, why
the exposition should not succeed.
Fl. w, Yates-As to the merits OF the con
troversy ] cannot speak advisedly. ] have
looked upon the exposition as ! have the
Philippine war; ! was opposed to it's COM
mencement but now that II is under way
it should be given all possible support
M, T. Barlow have been too busy with
my business affairs TO pay close attention
10 the course OF the exposition troubles
j. w. Thomas am acquainted personally
with the men added to the executive com
mtttee and know that they are very strong
men. They will prove an excellent addition
10 the management As TO the events which
led up 10 the changes. it is pretty hard to
know them thoroughly l suppose the men
who resigned meant what they said, The
exposition, ] believe. will succeed
G. w. Kelley certainly think that there
is now every chance TO make the exposition
a success Erort should be concentrated
towards depelopins the colonial features and
supplying music of the highest order, These
] regard RS the important features. The
people have been reading and thinking about
The colonies during the last year, and every
thing thas he secured from the islands
will be of the greatest interest By work

EDITORS VISIT THE EXPOSITION.
Pencil Pusbers from Missouri Leave
Dnl Care behind Them.

The Missouri editors owned the exposition
yesterday afternoon and last night and if
there was a door that was closed against
them they did not succeed in finding it. After
spending the early portion of the day down
town, escorted by Superintendent Outright
of the Publicity department, they visited the
exposition grounds, where during the after
noon they inspected the buildings. At 6
o'clock they were banqueted in the Boys
and Girls building, where President Miller
presided After the repast he delivered a
short address of welcome.
In speaking 10 the editors and their wives
President Miller dwelt upon the courage and
bravery Of the men and the beauty of the
women of the south. He referred 10 the hos
pitality of the southern people saying that
II is not eXcelled any place on earth. A glow
ing tribute was paid TO General Joe Wheeler
and General FitZ Hugh Lee and the services
that they have rendered for the country
both as civilians and soldiers. Their loyalty
TO the flag is something that has been ap-
preaiated and has won them friends in every
city and hamlet in the north.
Touching matters nearer at home, Presi-
dent Miller spoke of the hopes of the man
ayers OF the exposition and assured the Wis
itors that, backed by the progressiveness of
the citizens Of Omaha and the pride OF the
west. 1t cannot help being success.
Responding TO the address of welcome, Ed
itor Howard Ellis, vice president of the Ed
torial association and also publisher OF the
New Florence Leader, expressed the opinion
tnat in hospitality il would be impossible for
The Missourians TO excel the people of Omaha
He predicted a successful season for the ex-
position and felt certain that upon the com
pletion of the Installing of the exhibits it
Will be a great drawing card

EXCITEMENT RUNS HIGH.
Baker Howard White Feud Stirs Up the
Blue Grass State.

London Depot, KY, June 1.-THE How
ards and their allies, the Whites, are in
possession of the ground at Manchester,
in the Howard feud, and few Bakers or
Baker symDathizers are left to modest
them. After Tom Baker the head of the
Baker faction, met his tragic death yes
terday at the hands of an assassin whose
the history of Kentucky feudal wars, the
state militia under Colonel Williams,
with Wiley, Jim Dee and AL Baker shorn
of their arms, left over the mountain
road for Barboursville, where the charges
of numbering Burch Stoor and William
Howard will be tried on a change of
venue granted by Judge George Cook.
Baker, when shot, was within 70 feet of
the assassin, who fired from the porch
of Sheriff Beverly Whites house. dag
onally across the street. Baker told his
wife that he was tired and would stand
up for fresh air. and as he did so a bullet
pierced his breast.
Colonel Williams sounded the assembly
and the battalion of militia charged
Whites house. They found the gates
locked and the doors barred, but the boys
in blue broke the locks and bars and found
inside nothing but a stock of Winchester
rifles. Upon examination one of these
guns was found to contain a freshly ex-
ploded cartridge and it is this which sent
the leaden missile through the heart of
the fearless feud leader
The people of this place and along the
road to Manchester are wild with excite
ment. sympathy is expressed for the Ba-
kers on every side.
The troops are powerless, under Ken
lucky law, to protect or execute the sim
plest duty, being subject to the orders of
the county sheriff, who, in lis case, is not
in sympathy with their purpose.
John G.. White of Winchester Ky, a
brother of Sheriff Beverly White, with
two guards, passed through here to-day
going to the scene. 1t is stated Tonight
that Special Judge Cook will order a spe-
cial grand jury and attempt to indict the
slayers of Tom Baker but the fact that
Judge Cook is not the regularly elected
judge may delay this matter.

CHANGE OF VENUE.
The Baker Trials Will he Transferred to
Barboursyille.

Barboursville. KY, June 11-Since
the change of venue was granted at
Manchester, Clay county, yesterday for
the Baker trials to be held here in the
Knox county courts, this city has been
in a state of excitement. 1t will be i,12-
possible in this place, which has a popu-
lation of between 1000 and 5000 inhab-
itants, with good officers, for SUCH a
tragedy to occur, as that at the village
of Manchester yesterday, under the
shadow of the court, when Tom Baker,
the principal defendant, was shot dead
while prisoner of the court. AS Tom
Baker had killed William White, a
brother of Sheriff Beverly White Of
Clay county, and as the crowd saw the
rifle fired from a window in the sher-
ifs office at the time Baker fell dead
into the arms of his wife, it is thought
that there may be another trial soon
and change of venue to this place.
When Jesse Barrett turned states
evidence last Friday, Jim and Dee Ba-
ker and Charles Wooton were released,
as well as Barrett, the confession show
ing these parties We're not implicated.
The new indictments were returned
against Tom Baker and his son, Jim,
and Wiley Baker. brother of Tom, for
killing Wilson Howard and Burch Storr
and shooting Bat Howard with intent
to kill. The four defendants were re-
leased by Barrett's confession and now
the fifth by assassination, leaving only
Wiley and Jim Baker to be transferred
to the jail here unless additional arrests
have meen made to-day at Manchester,
point 26 miles from railway tele-
graph or telephone station.
Colonel Williams, who had his battal-
ion and Calling gun at Manchester the
past week, and has done effective work
not only in quelling the mob last mig at
and in bringing refugees into court
earlier in the week, but also in holding
back the fighting feudists all week, was
expected here to-day with Wiley and
Jim Baker, guarded by the militia. but
they have not yet arrived tonight.
