South Omaha Citizens Burned or
Wrecked Thirty Houses.

Omaha, Feb. 22.-From midafternoon
until far into last night South Omaha,
this city's big suburb. was the scene
OF rlotlng, murderous assaults and pill
lage. More than 80 buildings were
burned, wrecked or badly damaged and
probably score of persons injured, half
that number seriously. By heroic work
the police prevented loss of life.
The immediate cause of the trouble
was the killing on Friday night of Po-
liceman Edward Lowery by Kohn Ma
SuredeS, a Greek, whom the officer had
placed under arrest.
Masuredes was brought to the
Douglas county Jail here at once and,
for fear of an attempt to lynch him,
he was taken Saturday to Lincoln and
placed in the penitentiary to await his
preliminary hearing. On Saturday
petition was circulated in South Ona-
ha and signed by hundreds of citizens
setting forth that a large number of
Greek residents of the place were of
the undesirable class and calling
mass meeting at the city hall for Sun
day afternoon to discuss methods of
ridding the city of them. More than
a thousand attended the meeting
which was addressed by men of prom
inence, including two members of the
state legislature.
The speeches were calculated to in
flame the passions of the more excita-
BILE. The meeting ended, a large por-
tion of the crowd started out with the
intention of carrying out the suggestion
of the speakers in the most summary
manner.

Mr.. Taft will permit no announce

1t has been known for some time how
ever, that he had practically decided
upon Mr.. Nagers appointment.
Mr.. Dickinson has not been under
consideration as a cabinet possibility
for so long a, time but has been per-
sonally and most favorably known by
Mr.. Taft for many years. His eminent
legal record and acknowledged ability
are such as to commend him peculiar
ly to Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Dickinson is a Tennesseean, al

general fight ensued in which four men

Greeks came to the assistance of their
oountryman. Some one struck Hend-
ricks with a board. A shot was fired
and crowd gathered crying Kill the
Greeks" The Greeks drew knives and
the Americans threw stones. A riot
call brought a dozen policemen but it
was not until a second call was turn

SCHIFF HAS A PLAN.
He Favors an Income Tax as Raiser
of Revenue.

New York, Feb. 22.-An income tax
designed to overcome objections which
were raised when the tax was last i'm
posed, is suggested by Jacob H. Schiff,
of the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb &
Company as a means of meeting the
increasing deficit in the United States
treasury. Discussing the plan Mr.
Schiff after condemning the issuing of
additional government securities as
"pernicious and dangerous" said:
''What we need is a real revenue pro-
ducing system which shall interfere in
no way and affect as little as possible
questions connected with the tariff or
the country's bank or currency systems
I believe this is to be found in the in
come tax.
'"The objections it seems, can be met
by means of a measure which shall tax
only income or revenue derived from
business, and especially interstate COM
merce If investigation be made of the
source of income in this country, 1t viii
develop that an enormous revenue, TO
which practically all contribute IN an
equitable manner, can thus by means
of a moderate income tax be produced.
So far as the banking business is con-
cerned such an income tax would yield
a very large revenue to the govern
ment and this is even true, of course,
in many other forms of commercial
and industrial enterprises.
"At the same time a tax on income
arising from such cources would in no
wise CO1IlLlGI win ILAO AL?ANHo u PN~~
and would neither be directly or in
directly a tax upon rents or lands.
While some skill would have to be dis
played in working up such a measure L
believe it could be done successfully
and it's operation, I feel convinced,
would be carried on without difficulty"
Charles H. Treat treasurer of the
United States. favors a direct proper

said. LAS a matter of fact feel that 1t
would be quite fair to tax all who earn
over 81, 600 year; to have an ascending
scale. as 1t were, but uniform.

WHY THEY SHOULD VOTE
Is Set Forth by Jane Adams in a
Letter to Women

Chicago, Feb. 22.-Miss Jane Adams.
in a communication to a woman's club
on woman suffrage, deals with the sub
ject from the standpoint of the tene-
ment dweller, foreign women, and all
who lived in crowded districts.
THE business of woman has always
been with her home and her children -
says Miss Addams. ''And in large cit
les like Chicago the home and the chill
dren must be protected as much by
the city as by the mother. Their health
and safety depend upon things which
the city regulates and not the woman.
When women vote children will receive
better moral and physical protection.
The dangers of the dance hall and the
pool room will be better guarded
against.
Foreign women of my neighborhood
are surprised that we have no public
wash-houses such as they have in their
own countries. The garbage and sew
age facilities give them cause for much
complaint. Given the ballot, they would
change these things

BOTH ARE OLD TIMERS
The Ohio Man Entered Congress

Washington, Feb. 22.-Although small
IN numbers, the Graduating class" of
the house this year is expected to make
itself felt in the senate in coming years.
Leaving the house for the senate on
March 4, are Theo. E. Burton of Ohio;
wesley L. Jones of Washington, and
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi.
But Mr.. Williams will tarry by the
wayside to write a biography of Thos.
Jefferson and will not reach the upper
chamber until March 4, 1911.
For years Mr.. Burton has been one
OF the most distinguished members OF
the lower house. He showed precocity
early in his congressional apprentice
ship and he is now one of its most
house began 1S years ago although he
failed for reelection in 1890. One of
the greatest works he has accomplished
In the house has been the raising of the
standards in the committee on rivers
and harbors. When he was unexpect-
edly made chairman of the committee,
the bill which it reported in nearly
every congress was known popularly
be so called and Mr. Burton is given
the credit for the reform
Mr. Burton has also stood out in op-
position to an increased navy. He is
peace advocate who believes the aboli-
ton of war will come only with the lack
of preparation for war. Mr.. Burton
has also given much attention TO imam
cial affairs.
While Mr. Jones has not figured
largely in national affairs in the house
he has done things in a substantial
way for the Pacific coast. He will sue

As minority leader in the house,
John Sharp Williams served Tor SIX
years, having been his party's candf-
date for speaker in the 5Sth, 59th and
6oth congresses Like Mr.. Burton he
is a great student and he has studied
in the University of the South, the
University of Virginia and the Uni
versity of Berlin. Like Mr.. Burton
again, he has been in the house 16
years The last time he was can
dfdate there was not single vote cast
against his denomination, nor against
his reelection. But his elevation to
the senate was not SO unanimous.
Barely after a hard contest at the
primary in August, 1907, was he
triumphant over Governor Vardaman.
Mr. Williams is an ardent disciple
of Thomas Jefferson. For years ne
has been distressed because the bio
graphies of that statesman have been
written almost invariably by north

were not of Jefferson's party He pro-
poses to spend the next two years in
