HEART FAILURE OVERCOME ED.
WARD RosEWATER, LATE
CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR
DIES IN A COURT ROOM
Went to Third Floor Last Night for
Short Rest and Was Found There
This Morning-universal Regret is
Expressed in Omaha.

Omaha, Aug. 31.-Edward Rose
water, a we'll known politician, and
editor of the Omaha Bee was found
dead in a room in the Bee building
early today, where he had gone last
night for short rest.
Rosewater was found in the district
court room on the third floor of the
building. He had evidentally gone
there to rest, sat down on the bench,
fell asleep, and died of heart failure.
The sudden death Of Mr.. Rosewater
was great shock to the people of
Omaha and caused universal express
sions of regret. DR.. Charles Rose
water, brother of the dead editor, at
tributed his death to results which fol
lowed the excitement attendant upon
the long campaign in which Editor
Rosewater was a prominent candidate
for nomination by the Nebraska state
convention for United States senator.
Shows Physical Weakness.
The convention occurred August %
and Rosewater was unanimously sup
ported by the delegation from Douglas
county, (Omaha) and was prominent
figure at that gathering. There were
several ballots taken during the course
of which Rosewater gained steadily
against his chief opponent, Norris
Brown Following the ballot which
nominated Brown, Rosewater gave eyi
dence of some physical weakness but
revived Immediately and addressed
the convention, pledging his support tc
Brown and the state ticket.
Aids UpbuiIdlng.
Rosewater's life had been devoted
largely to the upbuilding of Omaha ant
Nebraska. Aside from his political eff
forts, he had given largely of his fin
ancial means to the progress o
Omaha.

TRANSPORT ASHORE.
Sheridan, Which Left Manila Aug. 13,
Is In Trouble.

Honolulu, Aug. 31.-The United
States army transport, Sheridan, is
ashore on Barber's Point, the south
western extremity of the island Oahu.
on which Honolulu is located.
The Sheridan went ashore at 4
o'clock this morning. All efforts to
send the boat ashore from her have
been unsuccessful, heavy surf max
ing it impossible to land. AS the
Sheridan Is provided with water tight
compartments and has double
bottom, it is believed she has sustained
no serious damage. Tugs have started
for the scene Of the wreck. The Sheri-
dan sailed for Manila Aug. 13 with a
number of passengers, but no troops.

substitute new disease-if not
worse one--for the disease from
which we suffer
REVEN UES-If we can but
repeal the laws which enable men to
reap where they have not sown no
one will be able to accumulate
enough to make his fortunte danger
Gus to the country.
Views on the Money Standard.
GOLD AND SILvER-The unlocked
for and unprecedented increase In
the production of gold has brought
a victory to both the advocates OF
gold and the advocates of bimetal-
lism-the former keeping the gold
standard which they wanted and the
latter securing the larger volume OF
money for which they contended.
QUESTION-Ou opponents
have derived not only partisan pleas
ure but partisan advantage from the
division caused in cur party by the
money question They ought not,
therefore, begrudge us the satisfac-
ton that we find in the fact that un-
expected conditions have removed
the cause of our differences.
Radical Stand on the TRUSTS
PRISONMENT-If imprisonment Is
too severe punishment for the emit
nently respectable gentlemen who rob
S0,0O0,00O of people Of hundreds OF
millions of dollars annually the Ian
guage of the statute ought to be
changed, for nothing is more calcu-
lated to breed anarchy than the fail
ure to enforce the law against rich
offenders while 1t Is rigidly enforced
against petty offenders.
PRAISES ROOSEVELT congratu-
late President Roosevelt upon the
steps which he has taken to enforce
the antitrust law, and my gratifi-
cation Is not lessened by the fac
that he has followed the democratic

TARIFF-While absolute free trade
would not necessarily make trus
impossible, few manufacturing es
Establishments would dare enter int

powered to put on the free list ar
ticles competing with those controll
ed by the trusts.

AGAINST COLONIES-Our nation has
lost prestige rather than gained It
by our experiment In colonialism.
We have given the monarchist a
chance to ridicule our declaration of
independence.
GIVE UP PHILIPPINES-A tour
through the Philippines has deepeued
my conviction that we should lose no
time in announcing our purpose to
deal with the Filipinos as we did
with the Cubans.
SENATORIAL ELECTIONS - The
popular branch Of congress has four
times declared in favor of the re-

ators by the people), and yet the

Municipal Ownership" Doctrine.
DIVISION OF OWNERSHIP-Belie
ing that the operation of all the rail-
roads by the federal government
would result in a Capitalization
which would all but ohliterate state
lines operated by the federal govern
ment and the local lines by the sew
eral state governments.
RAILROAD OWNERSHIP-Railr
partake so much of the nature of a
monopoly that they must ultimate
ly become public property and be
managed by public officials, in ac-
cordance with the we'll defined theory
| that public ownership is necessary
| where competition is impossible.
NO DOUBT OF RIGHT-As to the
| right of the governments, federal and

deepen the water in the lakes and
build connecting canals to cheaper
railroad transportation during half
the year we can build a railroad and
cheaper rates the whole year.

Reeve Dollar for DoIIar-converse
Says Church Funds Are Safe.

Philadelphia, Pa. Aug. 81
Receiver Earle announced last night
what he considered to be the only
scheme whereby depositors in the
wrecked Real Estate Trust company
could get their money back dollar for
dollar.
His plan is that the creditors of the
company take preferred stock in it for
their claims and appoint their own Of
ficers. This plan has not been per-
fected in detail, as it will take some
little time to get the matter in shape
to present to the creditors in its pro-
Would Not Yield Results.
per form.
Mr. Earle argued that under a re-
ceivership the business of a failed con-
cern never would yield the results that
could be obtained if the business was
managed by the parties directly in in
terest.
He said If the creditors took hold he
was sanguine Of results, and that the
creditors had no cause for discourage
ment If they refrained from sacrit1c-
ing their claims and came to the res
cue Of the trust company.
That the depositors are not likely to
take kindly to Receiver Earle's plan
was evidenced during the proceedings
in court yesterday afternoon to re-
strain the company from doing busi-
ness and to continue the temporary re-
ceiver. Attorneys who claimed they
represent 10000 depositors asked the
court to appoint an auxiliary receiver.
HIppIe Thief.
According to Receiver Earle, Nipple
was thief and a defaulter and if he
had lived might have gone to Jail as
bank breaker. Nipple, according to
discoveries made yesterday, embez-
zled collateral from the trust company
in order to raise money for his private
needs In one case cited by Receiver
Earle, desiring money for personal
uses, President Nipple took collateral
worth $65,000 from the vaults of the
bank and borrowed $4,000 upon it
This $4,000 was not repaid, nor was
! the collateral returned to the bank.
The $5,0O0,00G which President Hip
pie loaned to Adolph Segal virtually
was stolen from the bank, the receiver
said, and loaned to Segal.

tions were regular and the loans amp

ity for the statement that the loan:

RULE OF OFFICE
ANNOUNCEMENT IS OUTCOME OF
CONFERENCE OF POSTMASTER

AS Long as Employees Do Not Attempt
Coercion Upon Those Who Do Not
Want to Join Union Their Relations
Will Not be Disturbed.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 3l.-Ihe
principle of "open shop" will be ap-
piled to the postal service, according
to a decision reached at the depart
ment yesterday at conference be-
tween Postmaster Busse, of Chicago,
and Acting Postmaster General Hitch
cock and Second Assistant Postmaster
General Shellenberger.
The visit of Busse was brought
about by the announcement recently
madc of the proposed formation of a
national labor union of postal clerks
Grafton Of Labor.
The determination was that so long
as postal clerks or other postoff1ce en-
ployes conform to the rules and regu-
lations of the office and do not at
tempt to coerce or in any way molest
those who do not enter the union there
will be no objection to the employees
aff1liating with the labor organization.
1t expressly was stated, however, that
the department would afford the full
est protection to those, who for rea-
sons of their own, do not see fit to
join the union.
