RIOT RUNS RAMPANT
IN SOUTH OMAHA

Eleven Greeks We're so badly beat

treatment, and fifteen other persons
are suffering from assaults, or re-
suit of misdirected missis intended
for Greeks, ON whom the wrath Of a
maddened crowd was directed
No estimate can be placed on the
financial loss resulting from the de-
struetion of property by the mob Not
less than FIVE shops of Importance
we're almost wholly wrecked while six
teen smaller ones escaped less SER

event OF the Greeks attempting TO re-

Feeling akin to that against the
Creeks was displayed against the large
number of Japanese also employed
in the packing houses.

arrangements for hurryiug a company
of state militia to the scene In the
event OF further trouble, and the gov
ernor has given instructions that the
three companies in the city hold them
selves in readiness for instant duty
The riot developed the fact that
nearly every Greek in the city is
armed. Another noticeable feature
was the persistence with which many
women urged the rioters on Humid

press their disliking Of the Greeks.
All is quiet today none Of the

TIME |S VICTOR; CLOCKS
 KEEP 0LO RULE
PRESIDENT TAFT AND CABINET DECIDE AGAINST SUGGESTED PLAN FOR MORE DAYLIGHT"
 AND OFFICE HOURS STAY AS NOW GRIEF AMONG CLERKS.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July h. Father time has scored another victory. President Taft and his cabinet, after mature deliberation, have decided not question his right to run the clocks of the government. Whatever distress may have been caused the old man by the suggestion that the government could regulate its clocks and run them without regard to the rising and set ting of the sun was removed when the cabinet formally decided that it would not attempt to interfere with the well established routine of affairs.
 The federal employe will not be re. quired to set his alarm clock to com mence work with the rising of the sun, nor will he be free to gambol on the green during the hours of the early afternoon. His allotted toll will be per formed during office hours which have long been established.
 While it was generally admitted by the president and his advisers that the welfare of the clerks and the business interests of the government could be promoted so far as the volume of work was concerned, by regulating the hours of labor according to the rising of the sun, it was found that the plans which have been advanced by organized move. ments in Cincinnati and other western cities and are to receive parliamentary consideration in England are not feas- ible short of revolution which would disturb banking and commercial condi- tions generally, and be widespread in its effect upon the railroads.
 Gain Seen from Plan
 Advantages to be derived by per hitting government clerks all over tie country to commence work in the cool hours of early morning during the sum mer season and discontinue labors in the early afternoon, with ample oppor- tunity to enjoy the sunlight in daily afternoon vacations, appealed to the president. However, in view of the fact that the government could not com pei financial and commercial houses to adjust themselves to the proposed change, and the further consideration that the business of the postoffice de- partment would be vitally effected, en- tailing a change of schedules upon all railroads, caused the administration to decide not to attempt to encroaeh upon the prerogatives of Father Time and for the present, at least, there will be no change in the daily routine of the gov ernment clerks.

BUSINESS INCREASE
GOOD SERVICE AT MILLER'S s RES TAURANT BRINGS GROWING
 PATRONAGE

With the third week s business of Miller's restaurant well under way, the Broad street eating house is show ing constant increase in patronage. Not day has passed since the estab- lishment opened for business that an increase in the receipts has not been shown over that done on the preceding day.
 A constant betterment in the service, and an excellent cuisine are responsi- ble for the increase in business, in the opinion of Tony Weary. The staff of employees has been added to constant ly until now there are cooks and wait CTS enough to give quick and highly satisfactory service. Another new waitress, Miss Anna Westerbrook of Fl Paso, was added to the force yes terday and two new cooks from Los Angeles have recently been employed.
 Three shipments of Kansas City steaks are hardly sufficient to supply the demand for choice meats and it requires close watch on the local mar kets to supply fresh fruits and vege- tables. Some fruits are being shipped in from outside points, to counteract a deficiency in the local market.
 The new broiler, which is now in perfect working order, is proving to be very popular. It turns out steaks of quality and flavor which cannot be obtained by the old method of cook ing and the demand for broiled steaks increases as the knowledge of the ex- istence of the new broiler spreads.

When an Ostrich Kicks.

"The only safe place in the neighbor hood of q kicking ostrich Is just be- hind it." said a zoo keeper An ostrich can kick a mule to death but its kicks are delivered at an angle of 45 degrees Within those "a degrees. right abaft the 'popes nose of the bird. there is absolute safety. On the ostrich farms of California. when the herds are being driven. you will always see the ostrich boys holding on to the tails of bad kickers. The kickers tear along, and their scaly legs shoot out like piston rods. but the boys in the shelter of the pope's nose are safe."--New Orleans Times Democrat.
