MKINLEY CLUB COMING OUT
Banquet Next Thursday Night to Be First
Pretentious Social Effort.
ORGANIZATION ENJOYS RAPID GROWTH
Started Less Than Year Ago, There
Are Now Two Hundred and Fifty
Young Republicans ON
Membership Roll.
ORGANIZATION ENJOYS RAPID GRoWTt

The banquet at the Willard hotel next
Thursday night upon the anniversary OF
McKinley's birth, Wills be the first preten-
tious social undertaking and practically the
first public appearance" of the Mckinley
club, an organization OF young republic
ans.
The club Is a lusty infant for one con-
celved no longer ago than last March and
born April 22. Responsibility for the first
step in its organization probably lies with
Attorney Charles G. Mcdonald. Mcdonald
is a young man with a great interest in
politics, a firm believer in the greatness
and goodness of the republican party and
a fervent desire TO push it along. One
day he wondered why the young republic
ans Of Omaha had no club organization.
The next day he wondered II 1t couldn't
be brought about. On the third day he
decided II could be brought about. The
hrst man counseled with was Harry
A. Foster, another young attorney OF
similar inclinations. They conferred
in McDonald's office and decided
who would best take hold with them.
| Shortly afer that. they called in Dan j.

Ripple Widen with Rush.
This ambitious group burned a lot OF
midnight gas and smoked itself black in the
face with Washingtonian cigars before 1t
agreed on plans that seemed feasible. AS
a next step they invited three young re-
publcans from every ward in the city-and
after that the ripple widened with a rush.
The meeting OF organization was at the
Willard hotel the evening of April 22. Sub
sequently there was elected for the year
the following officers; Frank Crawford.
president; Harry A. Foster, vice presi-
deint; Elmer Neville, second vice presi-
dent; Henry p. Leavitt, third vice presi-
dent; Charles G.. Mcdonald secretary;
Clyde C. Sundblad, treasurer. For a board
OF control there were chosen Frank Craw-
ford, Charles G. Mcdonald, Charles Fear,
! Dan J. Riley. Sidney Smith.
4 The first problem with which the fathers
Of the club wrestled was that OF age limit
for membership The trainers Of the con-
stitution advised making the requirements
such that no man under 21 years old nor
more than IS should be admitted. Others
wished the roll open TO all who we're 10 or
more years old. the limit being As years.
Still others wanted no restrictions imposed.
but the list free to all. There was a pretty
hght, gOOd-narured but spirited, running
through five meetings. and then Il was
voted TO stand by the recommendation OF
the constitutional COMMITTEES and make the
limits 81 and IS. These restrictions apply
only 10 the time Of entering the club. Once

HOTEL FOR STRIKE BREAKERS
One Of the Expensive Features of the Union
Pacific Lockout.
LUxURIES FOR THE NoNUNIoN WoRKMEN
Accommodations Provided at Cost OF
the for Men brought
Here to work Under
the Piece Scale.

In view Of the general acceptance OF tho
belief that the Union Pacific strike has
taken such a form OF development as must
soon bring 1t to a close in one way OF
another, a review Of life among the strike
breakers on the company's reservation
during the period OF the strike may be
Interesting at this time. BY means OF its
large force Of guards the company has kept
fits little community OF employees pretty
thoroughly isolated from the rest OF the
city and the general public pretty eneetu-
ally excluded from the reservation by the
river bank, and, therefore, but little has
been known OF conditions as they existed
in and about the shops. But from time TO
time bits OF information have reached the
outer world. and these bits. when collated,
form a very interesting study Of COM
munistic life as put into practice by
Horace G. Burt aud his subordinate oneials
OF the Union Pacific road.
The hrst load OF strike breakers was
landed In the Union Pacific yards some
time in June last, and as a temporary
makeshift the men were accommodated In
two cars fitted up for their use. They
were boarded by contract with the Pacific
Hotel company, and from the hrst the
meals served were OF excellent quality and
satisfying quantity. From this small be-
ginning the community grew to number
between 400 and 500 men at the tim OF
largest population in October last, and
their maintenance and government became
q serious undertaking. presenting many
.perplexing questions, some Of which de-
manded prompt and decisive action.
Genesis OF the Hotel.
Very soon after the arrival OF the first
carload Of men the company opened lite
hotel IN the newly erected building desig~
mated in the plans as the pattern shop. and
this structure was completely equipped for
the purposes Of a hotel. The building lie
about les feet in length and 30 feet wide
and two stories in height. II was equipped
IN a most thorough and complete manner,
with steam heat and electric lights, and
fitted out with all regard for sanitary rules
with a complete system Of plumbing.
On the ground floor OF the building is
the ONCE Of the hotel manager. and ad-
Joining ID a small dormitory containing
about twenty beds. On this floor also Is
the reading room. 50 called, furnished with
writing tables and chairs sufhcient to &C
eommodate $50 men, and a piano. Here all
OF tho current papers and magazines have
been kept on hle, and in the once OF the
manager is a library Of 800 or more volumes
which was once the car shop library. These
books are issued TO the men without stint
the only restriction being that when
man fails to return a book taken out b.
him the sum Of rs cents is deducted from
his wages. There Is a twO-chair barber
shop In the reading room.

strictions.
Total Membership at Present.
The total membership Of the club is a
few more than $50, and Of these about one
fourth are honorary members, entitled to
all privileges except that of holding office.
To further elucidate the plan OF the club,
its hopes, aims and ambitions. there may be
quoted the recent remarks of one OF its
founders. He said:
There was prevalent among the younger
men Of the republican party a feeling that
they were as sheep scattered. They had no
home and II they Joined too strongly with
older friends they might find themselves
an unwilling encouragement Of fractional
feeling, whereas they most hoped for har-
mony. A political home was what the
young men wanted, A home where they
could talk over not only political interests,
but any interests they had. From the very
first a principal purpose of the club was to
secure eventually a club home as a place
for congregating. With this, of course, was
the general intent of aiding in the election
OF party nominees by the efforts of the
young men united. The time seemed ripe
and l guess IL really was ripe, for the or
ganization has grown splendidly. We have
no club quarters yet, but we did not ex-
| pect to get them thus soon. They will come
in due course, and by the time another
campaign opens we will be a factor for
good worth taking into consideration"

told. a disposition among some to reopen
the matter with a veiew to removing all re-
strictions.

CIUDAD BOLIVAR TAKEN.
The Gunboat Bancroft Carries Away
Many Refugees.

A messenger who arrived at Caracas.
Venezuela. yesterday by steamer and train
from Ciudad Bolivar says the city was
captured by the government troops at $50
o'clock yesterday morning.
Secretary Moody has received cable ad-
vices from Caracas to the effect that the
gunboat Bancroft. Commander Culver has
left C!udad Bolivar for San Felix. a small
place on the OrinocO river about seventy
five miles below Ciudad Bolivar with the
five American merchantmen delivered to
him by the government and revolutionary
forces at Cfudad Bolivar and a large num-
Der of women and children of American,
English. German and other nationalities
who sought asylum on the Bancroft at the
outbreak Of hostiiitieS at Ciudad Bolivar.
1t appears that the Bancroft arrived at
that port in the nick of time and was able
to render valuable services in the rescue of
non -combatantS and in securing the release
OF the captured American ships.
Although not so stated 1t is believed at
the Navy Department that Captain Culver
will land the refugees at San Felix and
then continue down the Orinoco to Port of
Spain. Trinidad.

One Regained Her Feet and Pursued
Her Assailant, Who Was
Caught and Jailed.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va. July 22.-The negro
tramp who attempted to assault Misses
Thurston and Clement at Centralia, a
suburb of Richmond. was arrested this
morning near here and lodged in Jail in
Manchester. The whole country was
aroused and scores OF men armed with
shot guns spent last night in pursuit of the
assailant. Full particulars of the affair was
only learned this morning. The crime was
committed within seventy-fve yards OF the
Centralia post office. With one sweeping
blow both ladies were felled. A purse con-
tanning s. and letters was taken from Miss
Thurston The ladies screamed Justify and
Miss Thurston Immediately upon regaining
her feet started in pursuit Of the negro
who. frightened by the outcry was hurry
ing off. The brave young woman followed
the brute about twenty yards until he
drew a pistol and threatened to blow her
brains out
Meanwhile little negro boy gave the
alarm and Centralia's male population was
soon hot on his trail. kilograms were sent
far and wide and the woods thoroughly
beaten for the fugitive.
The negro Just before had attempted an
assault on an aged lady. two miles away.
She was i'll. having just returned from
a Richmond hospital. The fiend choked
her. Her cries brought assistance. a
party from her place also joined the others
in the chase.

remarkable. Returning home she
started with gentleman friend in pursuit
of the negro armed with shot gun and

ant had she encountered him. Both the
ladies are of excellent social standing.
