fleet DIVIDED
For The First Time Since 1t Left
Hampton Roads in
December.

Los Angeles, April 2O.-Sunda
night for the first time since leaving
Hampton Roads in December the bat
tie ships of theAtlantic fleet are sepa-
rated. In four harbors, few miles
apart the lie at anchor in divisions OF
four and these positions they will
maintain until next Saturday morning,
when the 16 fighting crafts again uni
ted under the flag of Rear Admiral
Thomas will get under way for Santa
Barbara, the next port of welcome.
For the ships, for the officers and
men and for the people of Los Angeles
this was busy Easter Sunday.
The division of the fleet was accom-
plished at 6 o'clock Sunday morning
but even at this early hour the shores
of San Pedro Harbor, and the hills
overlooking were we'll covered with
spectators eager to witness the man
euvers of the warships.
While the crowds ashore watched
suddenly the signals began to fly and
within a few minutes the second divi-
sion. led by it's flagship-the Georgia
steamed slowly out of line and pro-
ceeded to a point opposite Long
Beach.
The third and fourth divisions
rounded Points Firmi for long cruise
to San Pedro, the four ships led by
the flagship Maine proceeding to an
chorage in the most sheltered portion
of the Sana Monica Bay, and the
fourth division, with the Alabama
leading dropped out of the column to
anchor a few hundren yards off the
pier of Redondo.
At an early hour the steam and cleo
trio roads were Transporting thou
sands of visitors to all four ports,
and as the day advanced the over
crowded beach cities sent their sur
plus thousands of people along the
stretches of sandy shore, along the
piers and along the hills that COM
mand the best views of the vessels at
anchor.
Sunday afternoon visitors were re-
ceived on board and thousands took
advantage of the opportunity.
A striking feature of the service In
each of the big churches of Los An
geles was the presence of squads OF
sailors in uniforms, who were without
exception given places in frot pews
and to whom in nearly every instance
the clergyman addressed a portion OF
the Easter sermon.
Throughout the next five days and
while officers and men of the fleet
are participating in the round of ban
quets balls and other forms of enter
tainment devised by various commit
tees, the people of Southern Califor-
MIA will be welcomed aboard the bat
tie ships and each night there will
] be a repetition of last nights splendid
| Examinations.

JIM WOOD KILLED
At CENTRAL CITY
Brother Was Shot Down and
EX-POliceman Wounded
In free-For- All Fight at. Railroad
CrOSsing-WaS We'll Known
Labor Leader.

Central City, April 21.-In a free
for-all fight here at 10 o'clock tonight
| J. d. Wood memberof of the board
of councilmen was almost instantly
killed John Wood, a brother receiv-
1 ed two serious wounds one in the
stomach and one in the arm but it is
believed he will live. John II. Magan
a former policeman was shot in the leg
The wound it not dangerous.
There had been friction for some
time between the outgoing and incom-
| ing city administration and it is prob
able that this was the cause of the
trouble, but the particulars cannot be
obtained.
The fight took place on the rail-
road crossing. Great excitement pre-
walls in Central City tonight.
Nearly twenty shots were fired by tn
two Woods and James jenkins former
chief of police and walter Hardwick
and Magyar both formerly members of
the police force. The five men met on
the platform and are said to have quar-
relied violently for some minutes before
the shooting began. Who first drew
weapon is not known but after the
first shot, nearly every man in the
party emptied his revolver.
James wood was shot once in the
neck and a second time in the heart
the bullet causing instant death. John
Wood was twice wounded one ball en-
tering the stomach and a second lodg-
ing in his arm, but it is believed that
he will recover Magan was shot in
the leg, but the wound is not serious.
The other two men were not wounded.
Friction has existed for some time
between the outgoing and the incoming
city administration. A hot political
campaign last farr ended with the cleo
ton of the faction of which James d..
Wood was a member and he was one of
the candidate for one thmmm
the candidates for the Council. On
April l the Council discharged all of
the members of the police force and
employed others, among them being
George Wood, another brother of
James d. Wood. The shooting to-nigh
is thought to be a direct result of this
change.
A large crowd was in the vicinity
of the scene of the shooting shortly be
fore the fight began. All of the sa-
looms of Central City are near the
railroad station and naturally attract
many men to that neighborhood and in
addition the Illinois Central pay car
arrived tonight and many persons
were near on that account.
No arrest as a result of the affair
have yet been made.
James d. Wood was for many years
the head of the union miners organiza
ton of Kentucky and also took a pro-
minent part in the general union Ia
Dor movement throughout the State.
He was a forceful energetic leader and
displayed much ability in enlarging
the mebership of the union and in
obtaining favorable contracts from the
mine owners. Several years ago he
was defeated for election as the presi-
dent of District 90 and since then had
lived quitely at his home in this city.
He was married and leaves several
children.
The shooting created tremendous ex
element in Central City, where all OF
the participants have been in the pub
lie eye for some time.

their pistols. Greer died in about an
hour. Hinton escaped and it is not
known whether he was hurt. The

ton.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work com
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for WOman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years IN
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs OF the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and etflca,
ciOus than any combination OF drugs
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.

INDUSTRIAL EXPO IN OMAHA

FACTORY MEN FAVOR THE IDEA

COmmittee ExD4ets TO call
Meeting for Discussion
of This Plan,

TO all the other expositions and at5Tau-
lions 10 be given in Omaha this fall zEc
winter-and every year feg many more
seasons-may be added an Industrial ex-
position which will give manufacturer OF
Omaha an opportunity TO show the public
what products they make and how some
OF them are made.
]. A. Sunderland. chairman OF the manu-
facturers' committee OF the Commercial
club, expects 70 call a meeting OF his oom-
mittse within = short time. The subject
OF an Industrial exposition to be held about
January will be the first one discussed.
Mr.. Sunderland proposes that his commit
tee do something during the year. The
Commercial club has twenty-five STANDING
committees. Seven months ave passed
since they were appointed. Fewer than a
dozen OF them have accomplished anything
and about a dozen have held one meeting.
The transportation committee is always
busy. The membership committee is now
conducting a campaign to raise the mem
bership TO 1000. The entertainment COM
mittes inaugrated the home trade excur-
Eions. The advertising committee has dis
GUESSED city boosting. The trade extension
COMMITTEES organized the tri-state excursion
ana the municipal affairs COMMITTEES got
busy early IN the year. What other com
mittses have done the record saith not.
To the manufacturers the proposition Of
holding an industrial exposition appeals
strongly. Last year the factories of omahz
produesd 0O.ooO.m worth OF products
They ranged from refined metals 10 pear

From all Appearances Omaha could give

tho products Of any other city in the west -
said Mr.. Sunderland. I'VE nave a vast
amount OF things TO show and some inter
eEting processes to demonstrate.
Personally. 1 favor giving an Industrial
exposition to make our own people &C
qualated with what is being made in

al $he exposition It win be the first time
shey learn hat crackers are made in

Manufacturers propose that the exposi-
ton be not made too large or too much
attempted, because Of the many shows to
which Omaha will invite the friends from
outside towns, but the Industrial exposi.
tion will be sort Of an inventory taking al
the end of the year for omahsns to see
what the city is really. doing.
The success Of the electrical show has
been one of the inspirations 10 the manu-.
facturers TO start ar exposition.
IF the electrical worker and manufac
turers OF apparatus alone can give a show
we would have a wonder II all lines en-.
