Omaha, Neb. Feb. 23.-The rioting
which began in the Greek quarter of
South Omaha Sunday afternoon did
not subside until yesterday, and
the roll of casualties is five persons
suffering with guE-shot wounds, IL
Greeks SO badly beaten that they were
taken TO hospitals for treatment, and
about Is other persons suffering from
assaults or as the result of misdirect-
ed missiles intended for the Greeks on
whom the wrath of the maddened
horde was centered. No estimate can
be placed on the financial loss resulting
from the destruction Of property by
the n 1b. Not less than five shops OF
importance were almost wholly
wrecked, while 16 smaller ones es-
capped serious damage only because OF
their smallness The last of the riot
ers were not seen until four o'clock,
and at that time Chief of Police
Briggs and Sheriff Bradley began to
collect their forces in the packing
house districts, where it was antici-
pated trouble would occur in the event
of the Greeks attempting to return to
work as usual.
More Trouble in Sight.
There was every indication that the
trouble would be renewed should the
Greeks go to the packing houses, but
the authorities did not anticipate any
such attempt would be made. at Least
for few days.
The work of the mob was better
seen after the streets were finally
cleared and the damaged places looked
over. Especial attention was given tt
the property Of the better class of thu
Greeks. Abe Cocoris, known as thu
king Of the Greeks" who owned twt
fine bakeries and another smaller shop
had little left to show for his thriving
business.
All three of the buildings he occu
pied were smashed, exterior and int
rior alike, and his stocks of good
despoiled, The confectionery estat
lishment of Demos Bros, the best Il
the city, was total wreck Thre
large plate glass windows wer
smashed into thousands of pieces, tn
show cases, soda fountains and stoc
were entirely destroyed. and the VI
per windows of the building crushe
with missiles hurled through them.
One saloon, found later to be tn
property of Roumanian, was similar
ly destroyed, while numerous smalle
stores, shoe shining parlors and shop
received similar treatment. Three h
tells, one of which was burned to IN
ground, and all of which had house

harshly treated.

CFrom Columbia Is. CO. state)

Perhaps the most powerful speech
ever made in Columbia in advocacy
Of the abolition OF the sale OF intox-
icating liquors was the address yes
teTday afternoon by ex-Gov. r. B..
Glenn, Of North Carolina, to an au-
iience that filled the Columbia the
atre auditorium.
The governor has been travelling
over many states speaking under
the auspices OF the prohibition or
CARNATIONS, and was brought here
by the local Anti-Salooa League.
The speaker in beginning his dis
course, assumed that some might
wonder why he should leave his
own state and come to South Caro-
lima, and what he was doing here
interfering in our affairs. He said
Il am attending 70 my business Of
telling men the folly and wicked
ness Of permitting the continued ex-
istence Of the evil OF the traffic OF
intoxicants.' He came here by invi-
tation
Your brothers have driven strong
drink out Of North Carolina, and
now are helping to drive it out Of
Virginia and South Carolina"

seen strong men lail low BY this
demon of destruction. He has seen

the manhood OF their boys? You
got $4,000 in Richland, but that
is Offset by the added cost of crime,
the loss of time, the loss of proper

His class peroration was a beau
tiful piece of oratory and 1t may
be said conservatively that the ex-
governor received quite an ovation.

tion does not prohibit" why not
abolish ali the respective laws, the
LEGISLATURES, the court houses AMI
jails? If the enforcement of civil
laws in other directions serve to pro-
hibit acts hurtful to the individual
and 20 society, then the enforcement
of laws prohibiting the sale of drink
is possible. Said the governor:

them would employ man who

Here the speaker drew vivid
word picture of the drunken man
who wastes his money under the i'm
hnence of liquor, and described the
home-soing of this man ana the
poverty and misery Of bis famiIy
and then he drew another picture ,r
the sober man who lets drink alone
does help business by buying with
his money the kind of commodities
whose manufacture includes the us,-
full productive Industries of the state
and nation.
GOV Glenn said that his own state
was an eXemplifcation of the good
.ehects of prohibition, and he cited
statistics to prove his point. He de
.cIared that his state would not re-
turn to the saloon system by 800

To prove that prohibition does
prohibit the governor described the
