CALLS GROSS A PLAGIARIST
NJ, sardou Passes Sentence on the Chi
cnEan in His Controversy
with ROstand.

PARIS, June 13.-The Temps today
printed an Interview with Victorien Sardou
the veteran dramatist on the Gross -Rostand
dispute regarding the originality OF "Cyrano
de Bergerac." The paper says:
NJ Sardou laughed heartily at the Chicago
Judgment and said:
1T is an amusing story. I myself have
been robbed and pillaged In America and
England. With calm, superb cynicism one
of my pieces was translated word for word
and produced as a new national work. An
other piece was thrice translated In similar
style. / once wrote to an American author
who naturally is mixed up in the Cross
Rostand affair.
"Mr. D. is thief and Mr.. - did not
turn a hair. 1t is only fair to say, however,
that these literary burglaries have ceased
Of recent years and that the rights OF prop
erty are now respected.
"The claims of Gross In the present case
have not a leg to stand on. The method
adopted in the judgment in Chicago Of
enumerating resemblances without alluding
to dissimilarities is a most useless and
misleading game. The idea Of Rostand
finding 'Cyrano' already prepared perhaps
In canned FORM on the shore Of Lake Mich
igan is very funny"
NJ Sardou then referred to the old vaude-
willie, Monsieur Roquelieure," which con-
tains striking resemblance to Gross work,
and, naturally, to NJ. Rostands, but says NJ.
Sardou las Rostand followed Gross, the
latter is a plagiarist."

JONES PLEADS HIS INNOCENCE
Former Lincoln Man Declares He Did
Not Murder or Abet Killing
of Haywood.

DETROIT, June 13-William NJ. Jones,
formerly of Lincoln, Neb., who Is on trial,
charged with the murder last April of
George M Haywood, with whose wife 1t
has been proven he was intimate, took the
stand in his own behalf this afternoon.
Ibid you on the morning OF April 10 kill
George Haywood or were you in any man
ner connected with his killing?" was the
last question he was asked by his attor-
ney, George F. Moghan, before the after
noon adjournment.
"Did kill George Haywood? I certainly
did not. / was in my room all night until
called in the morning." was Jones clear
and emphatic answer.
Jones roomed at Heywood's house and It
is the contention of the prosecution that he
arose during the night, stole out of the
house and murdered Haywood who was on
his way home from a party.
Jones told Of the intimacy between Mrs.
Haywood and himself and claimed that her
actions were always voluntary and denied
that he ever made threats against her, as
SHE claimed In her testimony. He also de-
MED Mrs. Heywood's statements that he
made threats against Haywood.
1--WE were always goods friends; there
was never any occasion for my threaten
ing him." he declared.

IF CoLORED MUST PAY TAX
No ArtiAcIalIy COI0red Ingredients
Are to BE Used in
OIeOmargarine.

WASHINGTON, June 13,-Commissioner
Yerkes of the internal revenue bu-
reau has settled the contested question
as to whether butter, or any other in
gradients artihcially colored, may be used
in the manufacture of oleomargarine with
out increasing the tax from oRe-quarter
of cent to 10 cents a pound, by issuing a
regulation which holds in effect that no
artificial coloring matter whatever can be
used in any way in the manufacture of oleo-
margarine without increasing the tax as
stated.
The resolution is as follows:
If in the production of oleomargarine the
mixtures and compounds set out in the law
of 1886 are used and these compounds are
all free from artificial coloration and no
artificial coloration is produced by the
addition of coloring matter. as an inde-
pendent and separate ingredient, tax of
oneI-fourth Of ! cent per pound only
product may look like butter of some
shade of yellow. For example, If butter
that has been artificially. colored is used
as component part of the finished prod
uct oleomargarine (and that finished prod
uct looks like butter of any shade of yell
low) as the oleomargarine Is not free from
artificial coloration the tax of 10 cents per
pound will be assessed and collected. But
II the butter is absolutely free from arti-
ficial coloration or cottonseed oil or any
other mixtures or compounds legally used
in the manufacture of the finished product
oleomargarine has naturally a shade of
yellow in no way procured by artificial
coloration and through the use, of one or
more of these unartifcially colored legal
component parts of oieomargarine the
finished product should look like butter or
any shade of yellow, this product will be
subject to a tax of only one-fourth of
cent per pound, as 1t is absolutely free
from artificial coloration that has caused
it to look like butter of any shade of
yellow,

SHRINERS SEEING SIGHTS
Take Ride Around the Bay as
Guests of San Francisco
Brothers.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.-(Special
Telegram.)-The special feature in the days
entertainment of the visiting Shriners was
a free excursion for the mobiles and women
over what is known as the "Wishbone"
route, by rail around San Francisco bay.
Nearly IL not quite all of the Nebraska
party availed themselves of the opportunity
afforded by this trip through the generous
hospitality of Islam temple.
Leaving San Francisco at $50, the train
stopped for short time at Decoto, where
the Masons of California maintain a COM
modious home for INDECENT members and
orphans. The next stop was at the beautiful
little city Of San Jose, where the visitors
were allowed about two hours and where
many Of them saw for the first time the
luxuriant semi-tropical vegetation of south
ern California. But the most instructive
portion of the trip was the stop of about
three hours at Palo Alto and the Leland
Stanford, jr university. Leaving the train,
the entire party formed in line, preceded by
the Arab patrol and band Of FL Jebel temple,
and marched to the magnificent memorial
church, just now reaching completion, at a
cost Of more than $4,000 Here a special
organ recital was rendered and the Arab
patrols conducted themselves as naturally
as If they had always been accustomed to a
church instead of a mosque.
After the recital opportunity was given to
inspect the frescoes and statuary Of the
church and the frieze of the great Stanford
memorial arch. The remaining time was
spent in viewing the university buildings
which are built in the style OF the Hispano-
Moorish architecture of the early California
missions. A drive over the Stanford estate
and to the superb mausoleum where rest
the remains of the late Senator Stanford
and his son, completed this portion Of the
journey and the visitors boarded the train
for San Francisco, arriving there in time
for the grand ball at Mechanics pavilion.

Of Omaha was one of the judges yesterday
at the competitive drill of the Arab patrol,
where the first prize was awarded to the
patrol of Ell Jebel temple of Denver, Aladdin

DISEASE RANK IN ISLANDS
Cholera Epidemic Causes Alarm in
Philippines and SMALL
pox Exists.

WASHINGTON. June 13.--A rather alarm
ing situation with regard to the epidemic
Of cholera in the Philippines is set out in
a report received by Surgeon General For
wood from Lieutenant Colonel Aeizeman,
at present in charge of the medical de-
partment Of the army in the islands.
The appearance of the disease in Manila
In March is attributed in some quarters to
vegetables coming in from infected Chi
nese ports, and others TO the drinking Of
Pasig river water, foul with the sewerage
of the city. Lieutenant Colonel Heizeman
says that the number of different points
attacked by the epidemic and the conse-
quent infection of many streams which are
universally used for drinking and bathing.
and into which all foul material and gar
bage find their way, makes probable a
large number of deaths before the rains,
which ended the two great epidemics in the
sos. The army, he says, is much better
protected than the native population. or
than civilian Americans in the islands, be-
cause of the care which is exercised in
supplying good food and water.
In Manila alone a total of 277 cases, With
215 deaths, had occurred up to April Is,
the date of the report with 45S cases and
30S deaths outside Of the city. In the
provinces the disease attacked twenty-five
different places. In the Carmarines, at
Neuve Cacares, the disease appeared and
this has been the only point where the
army has suffered, two cavalrymen and an
infantryman having the disease. The col
ored troops, the report says, naturally mix
much more with the natives than the
whites, drinking the water in the shacks
which they visit and eating native food,
and they are thus much more liable to
contract cholera.
Smallpox also has appeared and has been
more prevalent, it is stated, this year than
any except the first of American occupa-
tion. Manila has been quarantined against
all other points, distilled water has been
provided, house to-h house inspections made,
chloride of lime freely used, a cholera
hospital established, the foul farola burned,
and twenty eight army medical officers
have been detailed to duty with the Manila
Board of Health.
Medical officers of the army have been
given practical charge of health matters in
or near towns where troops are stationed.
The report on the health of the army in
general shows a slight decrease in the per-
centage of sick. Out of total of thirty
six recent deaths, dysentery has been the
cause of eighteen.

Robert J. Clancy Comes Up from Lin
coin to show Firth warders How
to Run Things, but Fails in
His Demonstration.

Interest in the primaries in the city Of
Omaha centered in the Fifth ward, where
Robert j. Clancy, secretary to the gov
ernor, thought it was necessary to make
himself a delegate to the state convcn-
tion, despite the fact that the republicans
of the ward in a caucus had deGlded not
to have his name on the list. Mr.. Clancy
came up from Lincoln and made 10 a dele
cation ticket last week, but which was de-
feated in caucus by decisive vote. Not
to be subdued by any such thing as that,
the Clancy delegation bobbed up at the
primary election yesterday with a sample
ballot headed For Governor, James II.
Van Dusen." The rallying cry of Van
Dusen for governor" however, failed to
pull the ticket through, it having received
only ninety votes to $50 cast for the reg
ular ticket, headed by w. B. Christie.
In the other city wards the tickets nom
mated at the caucuses or by petition were
elected without opposition.
