FAvoRs SUNDAY SALOONS.
Rev. T.. J. Mackay Of Omaha Episcopal
Church So Declares Himself,

Omaha, Neb. Feb. rs. = A sensation
has been caused here by the pronounc-
ed attitude of the Rev. T. ]. Mackay,
rector of All Saints Episcopal church
on the Sunday saloon question. At a
secret meeting of the executive COM
mittee Of the Civic Federation, DR..
Mackay appeared before the commit
tee and petitioned for the Sunday OPP
ening of saloons In Omaha He said
that he did not think 1T fair or just to
close the clubs Of the poor man, for
the saloon is to the poor man what the
rich mans club is to him, many of the
former having no other place in which
to spend an hour in conversation or
amusement. Even the Young Mems
Christian association prohibits games
of all kinds on Sundays and even on
week days offers no place for poor
man to play game Of cards or to
smoke" said the reverend gentleman.
Mr.. Mackay protested against the dis
elimination between classes in the
matter of Sunday closing and contend
ed that as long as clubs are permitted
to sell liquor, saloons should be al
lowed to do the same, that Is, quietly,
with only the side or rear entrances
open. His remarks created a profound
sensation among the members of the
Civic Federation who heard them.

confession Orchard implicated all
those now under arrest and others, in
Guiding j. l.. Simpkins He told tho
story of twenty-six murders, the re-
suits of conspiracies in which, all tho
accused parties were interested. When
this story Is given to the public be-
lieve 1t will be- the greatest narrative
OF crime which the world knows Of.
There has never been any doubt as
to the truth of Orchards confession
among those who are familiar with the
crimes committed in Idaho and Colo
rado and charged to the inner circle OF
the Western Federation of Miners I
have seen Orchard myself since this
confession was made. He told me that
no promises Of clemency or reward
have been held out to him by McPar-
