RESTAURANT In NAVY YARD

CHEAPER FOOD FOR WORKERS

supporting.

NEW YORK, March 16.-Miss Anna Nor
gan, daughter of ]. Pierpont Morgan, will
open a restaurant in the Brooklyn navy
yard about May 1. As chairman OF a
committee appointed by the New York sec
ton Of the National Civic federation, Miss
Morgan has just received her authorization
from the government to carry out this
plan, which aims to provide for the men
who work in the navy yards better food
at less money than they can now obtain.
In a statement today, Miss Morgan said:
1--WE rave been working for a hong time
IN this plan. The restaurant Is vastly
needed. Most OF the men now have to go
to the saloons for their lunches. We hope
to show the Navy department that the
restaurant can be run on a self-supporting
basis 50 that the government will take 1t
off our hands and perhaps establish others
like it in other yards where they are ac-
tually needed"
The government has granted the use of
a warehouse. siIty-five feet wide and 240
feet long and 700 men can be fed without
difficulty at one time.
Miss Morgan's ounge sister, the wife
OF Herbert L. Satterlee, former assistant
secretary Of war. is also interested In the
scheme. Mrs. Albert II. Gary, wife Of the
chairman of the United States Steel cor
poration is a member of the committee.
Other women who nave assisted are Mrs.
Carnegie, Mrs. J. Burton Harrison and
Mrs. Frances Higgonson Cabot.
Miss Morgan, who has been prominent
for a long time In what she calls welfare
work" was present in Washington last May
when President Roosevelt addressed the
representative of the welfare department
Of the woman's branch of the federation.
The suggestion of a restaurant for the
navy yard was made and President Roose-
welt, it is said, gave his hearty endorse
ment.
Pm sure I deserve no more credit than
the others" she said today. But that's
not the issue. To make good is the thing -
Search for P~etrOsinO's slayers.
The four Italians arrested yesterday in
Brooklyn in connection with the assassina-
ton OF Detective Joseph Petrosino in Pa
lermo, Sicily, were arraigned in court to-
day and held in $1,000 bail each, on the
charge of carrying concealed weapons. No
other evidence against them was obtained.
The sentiment aroused over the killing OF
the detective is expected to result in bring
ing together of the police OF New York
and the government in the work of rum
ming down his slayers.
Mayor Mcclellan and Police Commits
sioner Bingham today decided to ask the
cooperation Of the federal secret service
in this task. 1t is also likely that an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the establishment
Of a secret service bureau to deal exclu-
siveIy with black hand problems. will be
passed by the Board of Aldermen at its
meeting tomorrow.
The aldermen will be asked to sanction a
special reward for the arrest OF tho muir
derers of Petmsino and the granting OF a
special pension to the detectives widow.

HIGH SCHOOL AT BASKET BALL
Omaha, with Some New Men, VIII
Meet st. Joseph.

Meet st. Joseph.
The first of the two most important bas-
ket ball games of the season for the high
school will be played Saturday night. The
quintet from st. Joseph, which has made
an enviable record SO far this year, will be
on hand to take the locals into camp. Two
weeks ago the Omaha boys were completely
demoralized and had little hope of winning
this contest.
The loss of Captain Burdlck and the alb
sence of Ray McWhinney at center threw
the remainder of the team into confusion.
1t looked as though the chances of winning
more games were very slim. But a this
time Coach Cherrington made an important
discovery which frightened up the mem
bers of the team and brought hope and
cheer into the hearts of the students. Can
tain Mckinney of the foot ball team. who
has not been playing basket ball because
OF outside work, was induced to come out
for the team. He was tried at forward and
made good at once. Last Saturday the team
went to Sioux City without the slightest
hope of even holding the champion Sioux
team down to a close score but so great a
help did the addition of Mckinney to the
team prove, that the Omaha boys not only
held them to a close score. but nearly won
the game.
During the last week the boys have been
practicing had, with Nagl at center and
Mckinney at forward. While this combi-
nation does not permit of any plays from
center, because of Nagls lack of height,
yet the speed and which the team
displays easily makes up for the loss.
