and we are not responsible for him.
The South Omaha public did not
give us time to call a meeting to explain
our position, but the mob attacked our
property without waiting 20 find out

Mr.. Cokos spoke in the English language
as follows:

pie of the greatest country in the world
act as they did yesterday afternoon and
last night, though we don't blame the
nation for the mob any more than the
mob should blame us for the murder by

but never anything like last night.

Mr.. Mandanis has not as yet received a
reply TO the second telegram sent the min

There are 5000 Greeks in Omaha and
South Omaha. But 100 of them are natur-
allied American citizens, the remainder
holding allegiance to the mother country.
In these latter will the Grecian minister
interest himself.

Acting Consul I'm Chicago VIII Make
an investigation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-L. A. Coro-
milas, the Greek minister. today received
dispatches regarding the riots in South
Omaha yesterday, which will be supple
mented by complete detailed reports from
Mildred Adams, the acting consul Of Greece
at Chicago, who Is investigating the affair.
1t is expected that Minister Coromilas
will acquaint the State department with the
results of his investigation, although the
national government is powerless to do any
thing to alleviate the unfortunate condi-
lions further than to request the governor
of Nebraska to afford such protection in
the future as may lie in the power of the
state authorities.
The incident in its broad aspects is not
unlike the attack on the Japanese restau-
rant keepers in San Francisco and the
lynching of Italians in louisiana, wher
the national government expressed its re-
greet over the occurrences. In the latter
case comfy provision was made by con-
gress for indemnity to the families of the
victims. Fortunately, this more serious
feature is not present in the Omaha case.

Omaha went for refreshments and was
beautifully furnished. resembling a high
class up town drug store with small tables
and oxidized steel chairs. No wreck IN
South Omaha except where the building
was fired, equals the wreck of the Cokori
restaurant, as the feeling is. particularly
strong against the proprietor. 1t is claimed
he has made more than $4,000 by dealing in
Greek labor and is responsible for bringing
TO South Omaha many of the most lawless
and consclenceless of his fellow country
men; that when repTimanded for his con-
duct by officers he sl1rugs his shoulders and
laughs at American law. For this reason,
the South Omahans say, Cokos was made
to pay in a small way the penalty of bring
Ing Greek laborers to Omaha. He is known
as the banker of the colony and estimated
his losses as follows. Bakery at Thirtieth
and q streets, $500; restaurant at a19 p
street. about $1,000; grocery store. at Thir-
tieth and Q streets, &2,1O0; daily income cut
off $50 per day.
Demos Bros, Loss Big.
Next to the Greek banker" the loss Of
Demos Bros. and the building of f. ].
Lewis at Twenty-fourth and l. streets
will be about $500. over $500 OF which is

William Boies of South Omaha owns the
rooming house at Twenty-eighth and b
streets which was fired. 1t contained six
teen rooms and cost 5000, being a good
three-story building. J2xSe feet. 1t was
badly damaged and contractors say 5000

Jerry Says He Spoke Calmly.
While admitting that the crowd made its
start at the mass meeting, Jere-
miah Howard, one Of the Douglas
county representatives from South Omaha.
denied that he said anything which would
create a riot when he spoke at the mass
meeting in South Omaha. He said he was
most careful Of what he said. as he was
'foreshowed" that something might hap
pen.
Howard was seen at the Burlington sta.
ton Monday morning as, he had missed
the train for Lincoln after a hard run.
Although I was 'foreshowed,' 1 did not
even warn the people to be peaceable, be.
cause I feared even that suggestion might
put some 'deviltry' into their heads" said
Mr.. Howard. '"The thought flashed
through my mind as 1 was talking that
II might stir them up.
"A few Of those who were at the mass
meeting might have gone forth to make
trouble. but the majority of those at the
meeting were good citizens of South
Omaha 1 think some OF those who were
there might have gone directly from the
meeting and gathered a crowd as they
went. Two resolutions were presented and
I simply spoke on the resolutions"
Kraus Gets Sore.
J. p. Kraus. one of the speakers at the
mass meeting at South Omaha. flew into
the air and became real angry at the Bur
lington station Monday morning when
some one who knew him said:
II did not know you were such a Marc
Anthony"
He refused further to discuss the matter.
MIR. Kraus, who is a member OF the Doug
las county delegation, went to Lincoln
Monday morning.
Edwar Porter, one of the first arrested
Sunday night, was transferred TO the
Douglas county jail Saturday morning
Porter is not IS years old and hence under
the jurisdiction Of thu Juvenile court. His
parents tried hard TO arrange for his bail
at the jail, but were referred 10 the county
attorney.

ing In South Omaha Sunday. He declared
that the only, part he had taken in the
meeting was to move hat a resolution on
the crowded condition of the Greeks be
referred to the governor and labor COM
missioner. Mr.. Kraus also put in a dis
claimer for Representative Jerry Howard.

Will Wait on Action to he Taken by
south Omaha Omcers.
1T seems best at this minute to let things
quiet down a bit before any further ar
rests are made or any steps taken toward
such arrests" said Sheriff Bradley at noon
Monday. For the present 1t is up to the
fire and police board of South Omaha. 1t
seems to me from what 1 hear about the
meeting of Sunday afternoon that further
arrests may be in order. II they are they

The sheriff returned to his home at noon
to snatch a few hours sleep. He will be
ready to go to South Omaha at a minutes
notice all afternoon and probably will go
back to the scene of Sundays trouble later
in the day whether or not more trouble
then seems imminent. 1T seems all over
now" he said.

Senate Meets and Adjourns.
The senate observed the Washington anni
versary by joining with the house in its
observance and on the return to the senate
chamber took no action further than to
adjourn. Senator Laverty, who had voted
for postponing s. F. "a, by Fuller Of Sew
ard, permitting Sunday base ball outside
the incorporated limits of cities, sent up a
motion that the senate reconsider it's action
and requested the vote be laid over a day.
The motion was put in at the request Of
friends OF Sunday base ball, in order that
the bill might be saved. The Ransom bill,
amending the Sunday law to permit county
commissioners to license Sunday base ball,
has gone through committee of the whole
and awaits third reading.

that 1t could not be charged against the

and decry his crime.
The meeting was called for three rea-

fund for the widow Of the murdered Off
Ger. The raising of money was deferred.

Let the Law Work.
Det tne law take It's course, but don't
you try to take the law into your own

your mother country, remember that no
Greek in this community has ever before
committed murder, while people OF all other
~nationalities have; remember that nothing
can be gained by heapIng crime on crime.
and remember that IL the city can't pro-

SLIGHT DECLINE
IN WHEAT MARKET
Decided Strength Is Shown By
the Opening Figures
MILLING DEMAND IS SLOW
Corn Makes Spectacular Advance al
the Opening, but Later the Gains
Are Lost-Oats Close Weak
as Well as Provisions.

Chicago, November 1s.-After pro-
nounced advances in the early trading
grains in all the pits here today sank
steadily and closed at or slightly below
yesterdays final figures. Provisions. par
ticularly pork, took a plummet course
from the start unreleved by anv rally.
When the wheat market opened with
q sharp advance December going up a
full cent in the first half hour with Nav
a close second, conditions seemed ripe
for a repetition of yesterdays strength
in the pit. The backbone of the market,
however, was quickly broken by num-
erous profit taking sales in which big
elevator interests were credited with the
lions share. Contributing causes to the
decline were favorable reports from Ar
gentine and slow milling demand Bullish
influences which failed to resusctate the
market included an unexpected decrease

1,059,000 bushels less this week COM

UNCERTAIN TONE
IN STOCK MARKET
Brokers Await. Action In Mer-
ger of Copper Interests
METAL STOCKS HIGHER
Pennsylvania Stocks Are Center of In
terest and Make an Advance
While New York Traction
Stocks Are Lively.

New York, November 1.-THE confusion
In the movement In prices in today's
stock market was due principally to the
after effects of yesterdays excitement
over the reported copper consolidation.
The positiveness of yesterdays assertions
on the subject forced some recognition on
the part of those concerned in the ne
gotiations and led to more candid admis-
sions of the actual status of affairs. From
these 1t appeared that the definite &C.
complishment of the plans in view Is not
to be looked for until considerable time
has eapsed-perhaps many months. That
actual consultations are expected was
admitted, although important exceptions
amongst the important copper producers
We're mentioned.
This uncertain state of the project
threw some hesitation into the -specula-
tive movement based on it. The mat
ter had not lost its force entirely how
ever, and was still an influence in the
market for the metal prices advanced
again and there was an increased demand
from those consuming interests which
feared the effects of the growing friend
illness manifest amongst the producing
interests.
Amalgamated copper itself seemed to be
pressed consistently on the market and
the obstacles 1t encountered to any fur
Their advance over last nights final price
took the edge off its effect on the rest
of the list. Some of the other stocks con-
cerned in the consolidation made further
advances and there were new points of
strength in the market to keep up the va
riety.
The announcement that the American
Telephone and Telegraph company had
acquired an influential holding in the
Western Union was calculated to confirm
the confidence that important financial
transformations were at work This out
come has been accurately forseen for
some time past and its effects on the
stocks Immediately involved was exhibit
ed, leading to reaction on profit-taking
when the formal announcement came.
The stock reported for the Pennsylvania $
stock subscription revived the stock, the
proceeds of the subscriptions running
over the estimate by the large amounts
of convertible bonds turned for the pur-
pose of securing the subscription privilege.
This success removed a ground for
considerable vague uneasiness which has
overhung the market since Pennsylvania
started the market on downward course
after the new stock was determined on.
The local traction stocks also were q GEN.
