SAILOR ALLEGES CRUELTY
Says He Was in Chains for Thirty-fve
 Days.

Philadelphia, Dec. 3.-Captain Frank s. Leland, of the American barkentine Antioch, now in this port, was held in $1,0OO bail to-day by United States commissioner on the charge of cruelty preferred by a former member of the crew. William T. Corcoran, a seaman, alleged that he was chained between decks for thirty-five days while the vessel was in the tropical zone and was fed on bread and water. It was brought out at the hearing that dispute be- tween the captain and sailor arose out of a difference of opinion as to the best way of splicing rope when the ship was off the west coast of Africa. The seaman claims Captain Leland chained his wrists to the deck September 30 and that he was not released until November 5. He was discharged from the vessel on orders from the United States consul at Turks Island.

LONDON COMMENT.
Takes No Definite Line as Regards
 Presidents Message.

London, Dec. Slowing to its expect ed bearing on weighty questions like the financial crisis and the relations between the United States and Japan, the publication of the presidents mes- sage was awaited here with quite un- usual interest. Its great length and the multiplicity of the topics covered seem, however, to have deterred the news papers from taking any definite line in their comment.
 The Daily Telegraph calls the mes sage a prodigious review, as exhaustive and picturesque as ever was devoted to the study Of the whole material and moral situation of a people at enc given moment.

proximately true estimate of a con duetor: the efficiency of the orchestra itself-its readiness and skill in re- spending to his wishes Seen from this viewpoint Professor Parker leads very strenuous life. It is easy enough to make an ordinary man understand thing which previously he had not grasped, but when you try to make him feel an artistic impulse which he has never felt before, you need more pa tience than you possess, and an addI- tional allowance of time.
 The orchestra, while it is doing cred itable work, is by no means to be con sidered the artistic equivalent of it's conductor. IPSE.

Prohibition Agitation as old as Time
According to the old hieroglyphic inscrip-
tons and papyrus found in Egypt, prohibit
ton agitation is at least four thousand
years old.
AS early as the year 1000 B. c. the Egyp-
tian people were convulsed because certain
hish-haDded persons attempted to abolish
the beer shops (the Egyptian beer or hex
was brewed from barley without hops).
SO the prohibition propaganda is no new
thing. History is full of II.
There Is nothing desirable in prohibition
per Sc, but only a means to Temperance,
and nothing shows the futility OF such agita-
| ton 50 well as a study Of it's history as far
back as you may care to trace it-always
| chimerical, always impracticable, always
impossible! The development Of a taste for
! nlilder beverages is succeeding where pro-
hibition has always failed-that is, Is ad-
vancing the cause OF rational temperance.
The recent heavy increases IN the con-
| sumption OF American bottled beers which
| contain a very slight percentage of alcohol
/ are marked by corresponding decreases I'm
the consumption OF WHISTLES and other
| strong drinks. Beer contains less alcohol
than cider, and the development Of a taste
for the milder drinks in preference to more
intoxicating beverages is one OF the most
hopeful temperance indications OF the times.
Acquaintance with such beer as Luxus.
| THE Beer You like" brewed and bottled
in Omaha by the Fred Krug Brewing Com
pany, Opponents Of the Fine Art of Brew
! ing"-a light, pure anti-bilious beer, par
ticularly adapted TO the needs and require
ments of the strenuous American tempera-
ment, is convincing proof OF the strengthen
ing. health-giving satisfying benefits and
blessings Of good beer rightly brewed
Luxus is a beer which no father or
mother need hesitate to admit into the
family circle. 1t is an ideal beverage abb
soIutely harmless. and essentially the beer
| for the home.

POLICE AFTER x-sOLDIER
Chief DOnahue Wants One Keller Ar
rested in San Francisco and
Held for Him.

Chief OF Police Donahue has sent word TO
the police officers of San Francisco to ar
rest f. D. Keller, an ex-army official, and
hold him subject to further orders.
The chief refuses to give-out a state
ment as who Keller is OF what he is to be
arrested for He simply says he was IN
trouble in Omaha and was once a soldier
in the Philippines.
Information from army headquarters de-
velops the fact that the only Keller con-
nected with the United States army and
within recent years in Omaha or vicinity
was a First Lieutenant Daniel f. Keller
Of the Thirtieth infantry. He was subse-
quently transferred to the Twenty-seventh
infantry on being promoted TO the rank of
captain and resigned from. the army sew
eral months ago. When last heard from
he was supposed TO be living I'm Chicago.
He was regarded as an excellent soldier
while with the Thirtieth and Tweuty-sev-
enth regiments and nothing to his dlscredlt
is known at army headquarters. There is
no indication at hand which connects this
man with the one whom Chief Donahue
wants arrested.
