QUIET is RESTORED
IN SOUTH OMAHA

Omaha, Feb. 2S.-AlI seemed quiet
today so far as the anti-Greek Situa-
tion was concerned. Although por-
ton Of the local militia was held In
readiness for sudden call during tho
night, tho precaution was apparently
unnecessary Sheriff Bradley had a
number of deputies guarding the prop
erty of Greek residents of South Oma-
ha, but no disturbance was reported.
The Greeks themselves had left the
town before nightfall and were quar-
tered in Omaha, Council Bluffs and
other nearby towns.
Omaha, Feb. 22.-Tbree companies
OF the state militia in Omaha received
orders tonight to sleep In their ar
mories and mobilized at night for
that purpose 1t Is stated that the Or
der Is given simply AS precautionary
measure, but 1t indicates the anxiety
Of the authorities TO prevent any fur
ther disturbances on account OF the
Greeks in this city and South Omaha.
Late tonight 800 Greeks were rounded
up in Council Bluffs and, after being
disarmed, were locked up.
There are nearly 1000 Greeks In
the vicinity who are tonight being
cared for in temporary quarters. Many
of them are known TO be armed.
A mass meeting of Greeks, at which
1900 were present. was held in a largo
hall in Omaha this afternoon. when
It was decided to ask the Greek gov
ernment to take prompt action to Sc
cure redress for last nights attack on
the subjects of that kingdom. Mean
while cash fund OF $4,000 belonging
TO the local Greek colony will be used
to maintain the unemployed.
Thirty-nve Of the rioters will be
given hearings tomorrow morning.

that amount had been expended on it.
Berry's information was fragmentary.

that actually $90O0.0OO had been paid
out for finishing and furnishing the
building in addition TO the S4,OO0OOO
spent for the structure itself.
