oMAHAN WRITES OF WARFARE
DIR. william Haney Gives Graphic
Description OF Trouble At
Cananea.

Dr. William Haney, an Omaha boy in
Cananea, has written an interesting let
ter to his father. E. Haney. in which he
throws some inside light on the recent
troubles there. He says:
Everything has quieted down again and
seems 10 be about as usual Last Thurs
who told me the Mexicans would come out
o. OF the mines at 3 a. M, rise and Kill all
the americans There was great stirring
on the hills. We had two shotguns, a "a
rine and had a six-shooter with six
cartridges: At 2 a. m. the Mexicans came
out of the mines and swarmed around
hospital was 100 yards away. They waited
until a. m. to prevent the day shift
from going to work which they did. Colo
home At p. m. the Mexicans broke out
on the mesa and started to kill the Ameri-
cans, burn property and dynamite houses
and headed for the mines. The whistles
began to blow and white miners poured
out OF the mines. The white miners were
and two boxes of dynamite. getting ready
for an assault. These they made into
bombs with short fuses, ready to heave
to Hospital Hill and we had our hands
full Ny house and the hospital were full
Of women and children Had a hard time

posed brought soldiers to our relief. It
pandemonium broke loose. The men threw
the dynamite bombs and the women all
ran for the hospital which was the only
brick building The Mexicans fired twenty
OF thirty shots and the engineer got cold
feet and backed the train to town, and
we thought our time had come.
The MeNicans were as badly scared as
the Americans and lodged back, fearing
the Americans. When the conductor OF
the train was asked why his men did not
reply 10 the fire OF the Mexicsns he re; re-,
piled. How could we when we were All
under the seats?" 4 bullet came into the
hospital tore of the drain pipe and buried
itself in the bank behind the house, Noon
light was all that saved US. Three hundred
men came from Bisbee TO help US out.
These left at the request of the rurales.
The next night was q repetition OF the
preceding one. We had guards out but
nothing disturbed the cal H. There was
plenty of fighting, but II was down In the
Town and did ntt disturb Us. / did not get
any sleep for tour days AID nights. Con,

to some pol>ttclans in tOyS United States.
The mail service has been bad since the
trouble as the postmaster here Is an
American hater who does not care whether
the Americans get their mail or not.
The letter describes many amusing In
cidents In connection with the trouble.
One was the shooting OF a donkey in the
dark. A noise was heard In a clump Of
trees near the mine entrance and many
shots were fred during the night. and when
the sun rose not a scratch was found on
the donkey or any dead Mexicans.

George F. Bidwell Tells of His Trip
TO that Country.


TO that Country.
George F. Bidwell spoke last night at the
First Presbyterian church on the inn
pressions he formed during a journey OF
several weeks in Japan. His conclusions
are that the Japanese are fully competent
to take care of themselves and do not
need foreign guardians.
1.-THE Japanese railroads." he said, ARE
as we'll built as any in the United States.
and their bridges are as fine as we can
build Some of their finest public works
were built back in the fifteenth century,
before the discovery OF America, and are
as perfect today as they were then. 1t
is puzzling to know how they built these
immense buildings until we remember that
the number of workmen and time were no
object to them.
Japan is a mountainous country with a
ridge running through the center of the
islands. Industry, therefore, is limited for
a people so numerous Not half of the
people can hnd occupation. Land is very
limited and every inch available is culti-
waited by means OF irrigation. The size Of
the farms is about An acre and the average
income Of the farmer is SIS in our money.
Outside of agriculture their industries are
about the same as ours
lowing TO the large population and the
lack of industries few people over the age
of 30 10 any work The children are born
with the idea that II is a duty and an
honorable privilege 10 take care Of their
elders. Their art is beautiful and most
of the expert work 10 done by boys and
girls under 90 Some of the finest work
l saw was being done by girls under ~.
The patience OF the workers is wonderful.
Their painstaiSing care is remarkable TO
us We saw a piece of work upon which
the workman had labored three years, yet
the piece was sold for SO or 80. Time is
/ of no importance to them
Their religion Is a beautiful thing. One
! maxim they have is: Though the emperor
slay me. yet viii l trust him. with this
fundamental principle born into him the
devotion OF the Japanese 70 his religion can
be understood. Temples and shrines are
everywhere They are more like care
takers of the temples. No Japanese goes
to the temple TO pray without contributing
something though but a pinch OF rice.
When he enters the temple he strikes a
! gong three times to call the attention of
the deity 70 the fact he lie ready to pray.
The Jap makes his prayers in the most
devout manner. I have seen nothing like
It in any country have visited. They do
not worship any god. but they pray 10
the gods OF their ancestors for farors"

the description Of the taller of the two
men who perpetrated the series Of holdups
Thursday evening.
Those who are quite positive in their
Identification are r. L. Tinkham, druggist;
r. Gross, conductor on car ordered to
move on at Thirty-third and Cunning

w. Pope and l. w. Pope expressed them
selves as reasonably certain regarding the
Identification of Lawrence. They all
agreed the man answered the description,
but were not sufficiently certain to make
their evidence of much value. Lawrence
maintains an alibi
The police would like TO have all parties
riding on the car ordered to proceed at
Thirty-third and Cunning streets or the
car held up at Forty-first and Dodge streets
to call at the police station and take a
look at Lawrence.
Sunday morning Detectives Davis and
Pattullo went to Council Bluffs and
brought back Ed Greenlee. arrested Sat
urday evening by the Bluffs authorities
on suspicion. In general way Greenlee
answers the description OF the shorter
man in the holdups. Greenlee is known
to the Council Blufrs police as a pal of
Lawrenoe's, but when brought to Omaha
Greenlee denied any acquaintance with
Lawrence. When the two were brought
together in Omaha Lawrence Immediately

Subject SUGGESTED 10 DIR. Clarke by
the Commencement Time.
Rev T. s. c. Clarke preached yesterday
morning at Lowe Avenue Presbyterian
church on the subject. THE School of

closing OF the schools last week. In sub
stance he said:
I'VE call the close OF school commence

their education. often. alas. this Is true,
but 1t ought not to be. What IL education?
."Educo means drawing or leading out
This is the prime end of the discipline of
school and life Man comes into life a
bundle of possibilities. He is like the
angel in the block OF marble. Great re-
sponsibilities rest upon the sculptors the
parents and teachers. Self-realization is
the aim OF life. To prune develop the
latent powers is the aim of culture. 1t Is
a mistake to think that opportunity is all.
We are apt to overemphasize environment
and minimize heredity. Environment only
modifes, but does not alter. 1t takes a
man to grasp and use opportunity when it
comes
Man IL fourfold in nature. yet all are
interlinked. The body is not to be de-

Ghost. In brain man differs from all other
animals. We study many things for the

is important in the education of the youth.
Here the foundation is laid during the first
six years of life But many valuable les
sons are to be learned from school life.
Here we learn obedience TO authority. We
hnd that nothing is right for us that
means wrong to somebody else. We are
especially weak in these things In these
days. We now have independence run to
seed. Personal initiative is all right, but
we must learn that there are others to be
considered. Here we learn lessons OF re-
Iationships and rights. OF companions and
friends. We learn the lesson OF applica-
tion: that concentration OF powers on tasks
IL the secret OF success We find that
these. things are governed by law.
I'm the finished product We have the full

What is the harm in going to see play
