The Picnic.


and every one was OF the opin-

GERS OF Council Bluffs would net
come up to hold their annual
picnic as they had planned;
3olt about 9 o'eiDcl; one tram OF
eleven coaches pulled into the
yalds loaded down with eXcur-
sionists, which was followed by
another, some 100 people in
all being Carried. The first ar

rather lost OF out of place for .
feH. ours, but late, on when
tie slyn eflAc out they began
to revive and the hacks began
h;.Uiing people to the fair
|grounds. The grounds were
lawfully wet at first but the sun
was hot and soon the grass was
dry to a certain extent. Any
way it did not seem to make
much difference, for the people
had come for a good time and
there was no dampcning their
enthusiasm even though the
mud saturated their shoes and
garments. AS the afternoon
Wore on the program OF races
and other sports was held and
Judging from the noise made,
everyone was we'll pleased and
satisfied. The dance hall did q
rushing business, the man sell
ing the candy by chances gath
cred in the shekels, and in fact
every concession had all the
trade they could handle. About
I p. IN. the balloon ascension was
made and was one Of the best
ever witnessed in this part of
the country and this feature
was witnessed by large crowd
of local people, including also
the visitors.
The local grocery stores
closed and the proprietors and
clerks put in the afternoon at
the grounds, talking and enjoy
ing the time in general. There
We're no mishaps and there was
very little trouble in amy way.
We hope the visitors had a
pleasant time and wish we
might have them another year.

ROBBED FOR SEVENTH TIME
Tenderloin jewelers. Lose $4,000 in
Gems in Daring Theft-Aggre-
gate Plumber Is $4,000.

New York, Dec. 80. - For the second
time in three months, and the seventh
time in three years, the jewelry store
of Schwartz Bros, in the heart of the
TenderlGin district, was robbed Friday.
About $4,000 worth of diamonds, rings
and watches were stolen. The aggre-
gate loss is $4,000. Working during
the height of a terrific rainstorm, when
pedestrians had sought shelter, the bur-
glars entered the store.
They cut through the steel folding
gate barring the front door and then cut
through heavy wire screen that pro-
tected the plate glass in the front door.
They then smashed the half-inch thick
glass to reach their plumber.
The burglars IN cutting the wires set
off burglar alarm, yet they escaped
with their booty.

NO AID FOR WALL STREET.
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw Will
Not Place Relief Funds
in Banks.

Washington, Dec. 80. - The govern
ment will not go to the relief OF Wall
street by depositing government funds
in the national banks The rise of
the interest on call loans to 125 per
cent. has not, in the opinion of the
treasury officials, made it incumbent
on them to do anything to reduce the
rate. Secretary Shaw has decided
there is no money stringency so far as
mercantile business is concerned and
that there has been no change in the
financial situation since he issued a
statement several weeks ago to the ef-
feet that he would not deposit money
in the banks for use in Wall street.

CROWD At HAzER'S TRIAL
GREAT INTEREST IN NAVAL
ACADEMY INVESTIGATION.
Case Of Midshipman Coffin Thought
to Be Only Forerunner Of
Several Others.

Annapolis, Nd, Dec. 30.-The second
days session of the cOurt-martial OF
Midshipman Trenmor Coffin, Jr., for
the alleged hazing of Midshipman Jer-
done P Kimbrough began Friday
morning. There is great interest in
the case, as it is generally regarded as
the forerunner of series Of cases, the
facts in which have been discovered
by the board of investigation, now In
session at the academy. The little
courtroom in the temporary building
at the academy was full of spectators
during the day. An hour was con-
sumed at the opening of the session
in reviewing the testimony given
Thursday. After two witnesses were
heard in rebuttal, E. S. Theall made
his argument for the accused. The
court reached finding in the case at
1880 and took recess until 2:30.
After the disposal Of the Coffin case
the court will take up that of Midship-
man Stephen Decatur, Jr., a member
Of the first class, the charge of haz-
ing against whom rests on four speci
fications. Three of these refer to the
hazing of Isaac N McCrary, of Calvert
Tex, and the other to- the hazing of
Gaylord Church, of Meadville, Pa
Both of these are members of the
fourth class. 1t is alleged that De-
catur hazed the 4ormer by compelling
him to stand on his head and also by
compelling him to continue two differ
ent physical exercises until he reached
the point of exhaustion. In connec-
ton with Church a similar speciflca-
| ton is made out. Decatur stands No.
6 in the class of 119 members which
will graduate early next year. He will
make bitter fight against conviction
and it Is understood that he denies the
/ charges absolutely. It is likely that
he will only be arraigned Friday after
noon and that the trial will proceed
Saturday morning.
Midshipman Warren A. Van Derver,
OF Mount Holly, N. j., who is under
charge of neglect of duty in failing to
report Kimbrough's condition, though
1t had been made known to him
by an inspection, will have to be tried
by a court assembled in a different
manner from the others, as the law un-
der which the present court was con-
st1tuted applies only to cases of haz-
ing.

EIGHT HOUR law

PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION
ERS DECLARE 1T WILL
RETARD WORK.
ITS ENFORCEMENT WILL
ADD MILLIONS TO COST
Body Asks That Other Acts Passed
for Benefit Of American Labor Be
Excluded from Application on the
1sthmus.

Washington, Dec. 80. - Work on the
Panama canal is going to be retarded by
the eight-hour labor law if that measure
continues in force on the isthmus. This
fact is set forth in the first annual report
of the new canal commission which has
been made public. The report says:
''The present wage on the isthmus
varies from 80 cents to $1.O4 per day in
gold. AS compared with the best
common labor in the United States it's
efficiency is rated from Is to 80 per cent.
Over 80 per cent. of the employees of the
canal are now and will continue to be
alien laborers. A majority of the other
20 per cent. employed will be in cler-
ical, supervisory or in some other ca.
pacity to which the various labor laws
of the United States are not applicable.
It is to this kind of labor we are COM
PEELED to apply the eight-hour law-that
is, to aliens who know nothing Of the
laws existence until they arrive on the
isthmus. Such application will in
crease the labor cost of canal construc-
ton at least Is per cent and will add
many millions unnecessarily to the total
expenditure.
Will Add to Cost.
''The application of laws passed or to
be passed by congress for the benefit OF
American labor at home to labor on the
isthmus will benefit a small number OF
American laborers. but will enormously
add to the cost of construction, and
American labor at home will have to pay
it's share of the consequent increase in
taxation.
I'm the opinion of the commission it is
a mistake to handicap the construction
of the Panama canal with any laws save
those Of police and sanitation. The com.
mission strongly recommends that la
Dor on the isthmus be excluded from the
application of the eight-hour law, the
contract labor law, the Chinese exclu.
sion act and any other law passed or to
be passed by congress for the benefit OF
American LABOR at home.'
Chief Engineer Stevens says applica.
ton Of the civil-service act has hindered
the work
On sanitary conditions the report says
yellow fever has been virtually wiped
'out. In sanitary work 400 men are
employed and about 100000 cubic yards
OF material has been removed.
