HONOR FOR OMAHA CITIZEN
W. $. Wright is Elected President oi
the National Hardware
Association.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10--A joint BAN
quet attended by about 400 men aud
women. at the New Willard hotel tonight
terminated the meetings of the National
Hardware association and the American
Hardware Manufacturers association
which have been in progress for the last
three days w. s. Wright of Omaha, the
newly elected president OF the National
Hardware association, acted a 5 toastmastcr
and toasts were responded to by Repre-
sentative Theodore f, Burton of Ohio and
James r. Garfield. chief Of the bureau Of
statistics Of commerce and labor.
Addresses were also made by Secretary
Shaw and Director OF the Mint Roberts.
Several Of the speakers touched upon the
question Of the regulation of freight rates
by some body created by congress.
Secretary Shaw declared that the evil Of
the freight rebates was not alone with the
transportation company, but with shippers
as well.
How to cope with both. he said was a
question that is puzzling the government.
The question would soon dissolve and the
evil be abolished.
But now as to rebates. My own idea
about rebates is this: The rebate must stup
and the railroad is not the only sinner in
the case. Such action must be taken by
legislation and the enforcement Of that
legislation as will apply the remedy to
both the beneficiary and the railroads"
Representative Burton expressed the
opinion that it would be Impossible for any
commission to enter upon the question OF
regulation Of freight rates without entering
upon field that is utterly impossible.

association at today's session endorsed

STRIKE IN CITY WATER WORKS
MRchiniSts Employed on Repair Work
in Chicago Plant viii Walk
Out Today.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1O.-Two departments Of
the city service the water pumping sta
tions and the electric lighting plant, may
be involved in a strike tomorrow
The union machinists threaten TO cause
a walkout of the men engaged in over
hauling the machinery at several of the
city plants. A vote TO strike has already
been taken and the time for action has
been set at noon tomorrow.
The trouble arises from a controversy
regarding the ''open shop" between the
unions and the Anderson Machine COM
pany, which has the contract for repaIr
work from the city. One non-union man
has been working with the unionists and
the Anderson company refused today TO
discharge him on the demand of the unions.
The vote TO strike was then taken. II is
not expected that the water supply Of the
city will be affected by the strike If Il
comes. II will affect only that part of the
north side of the city which is supplied
through the pumping station at East Chi
cago avenue.

MINOR OFFICES IN OHIO
Incomplete Returns Indicate Possible
Election of Republican Lieu
tenant Governor.

COLUMBUS. o.. Nov. 1O.-Complete re-
turns on the state ticket, except for gov
ernor are still unavailable tonight, with
the result that both the republicans and
democrats continue to claim the election
of all minor state officers. Official returns
received from eighteen counties show that
Harris, the republican candidate for lieu
tenant governor. has an average lead in
each county over Herrick for governor. II
this ratio should be maintained in the re-
mainder of the lightweight counties Of the
state, which is considered doubtful, Harris
would have a lead of 5000 over Herrick
in the state. This would insure the election
not only of Harris for lieutenant governor,
but also of the remaining offices, as Harris
received the next lowest vote to Herrick.
Attorney General Ellis and State Treas
urer McKinnon claim that returns received
by them from a majority Of the counties
in the state indicate their election by a
plurality of from 1900 TO 10000.
The republicans claim the lower branch
Of the Legislature by e. to 80, and the demo-
Gratis claim it by So to 50. On the face Of
the unofficial returns the senate is com
posed of nineteen democrats and eighteen
republicans, but the democrats claim it
by 20 to II.

MIDSHIPMEN'S SIDE OF CASE
Fight WAS Outgr1wtb Of what Was
Considered - perSonnl
Insult.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Nov. 1O--A statement
coming from within the naval academy,
believed to represent the midshipmen's YER
sion OF the fight between Midshlpmen Meri-
wether and Branch and the death of the
latter. is as follows:
The fight between Midshipmen Branch
and Meriwether was because of personal
dislike and trouble between the two mid
shipmen which eliminated in the latter
personally insulting the former. Midship-
man Branch did not report Midshipman
Meriwether for any violence of regulations,
and that ne did not incur this fight be-
cause OF dischargiRg his duty. Midship-
man Branch 'chalienged a5erfwethef as the
result of insulting remarks addressed to
him by the latter, and 1t was decided that
their differences be decided in the usual
manly American fashion.
In weight there was not difference Of
over five pounds between the two Both
midshipmen were good physical specimens
OF manhood Branch having at one time
held the academy lightweight wrestling
championship Meriwether was not con-
sidered to be exceptionally well developed
physically, as has been enormously stated.
This way of settling their personal diff
culttes may have been a mistaken one,
but as far as can be said about an affair
Of this description, It was free from brutal
ity and unfairness and the tragic ending
is a most lamentable accident.
At the conclusion of the fight Midship-
man Branch was able to walk TO his room
and there conveTsed with his seconds for
time, afterward taking shower bath
ana TetnluS, NO rear OF Ile result Delll6
agic was felt The next morning he was
found to be unconscious.
The code at the naval academy abso-
utely prohibits fighting over report. Mid
shipmen on duty frequently have to eX-
erclse this authority for the maintenance
of the state of discipline, and II would
be Just as serious an offense against their
code for the midshipmen so reported 10
challenge the one who made the report
as It would for a University Of Virginia
student to offend against their code OF
honor by cheating at an examination.

Solicit Insurance without
Having License.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Nov, 1O.-state
Superintendent of Insurance Vandiver will
undertake the prosecution OF insurance
brokers in the state who are doing business
without a license and as the preliminary
step in the matter he today sent James
NJ. McVoy of the insurance department,
TO st. Louis TO confer with J. L. Carlisle,
the latter having been appointed TO repre-
sent the department in the prosecution of
these unlicensed brokers.
Superintendent Vandiver stated today
that there are more than 400 insurance
brokers in St. Louis alone and only l67
OF them have licenses. He said that an
attempt will be made to have the un-
licensed brokers comply with the law, and
those not complying win be prosecuted.
He asserts that he proposes TO enforce the
law as long as it is on the statute
books and there will be no favorites.
There is no reason why some brokers
should pay SO license fee said Superin-
tendent Vandiver, while others do the
same business for nothing.
