UNCLE SAM MUST
GUARD HIS INTERESTS
Against Revolutions Among the
Natives as Well as Foreign
Interference

Washington, July 20.-A new
policy toward Nicaragua, involving
the virtual control of the affairs Of
that republic by the United States
through a protectorate similar to
that exercised over Cuba, was out
lined yesterday by Secretary Bryan
at a private conference with mem
bers of the Senate foreign relations
committee.
Mr.. Bryan's proposal, coming as a
complete surprise to most Of the
members of the committee, has been
taken by many senators as the first
pronouncement of general policy
on the part of the administration to
countries surrounding the Panama
canal, and to assure that stability of
Central American republics and the
domination by the United States of
their relations with other great pow
ers.
Secretary Bryan went before the
committee with revised draft of the
proposed Nicaraguan treaty, negotiat-
ed first in the Taft administration,
by which the United States would Sc
cure exclusive canal rights across
Nicaragua and a new naval base, in
exchange for s3,OOO,OOO gold pay
ment.
New Feature of Treaty
AS new feature of the treaty,
however, the secretary of state pro-
posed that language similar if not
identical with the so-called PLAT
amendment relating to Cuba, be in
jected in the treaty, giving the Unit
ed States sweeping control of MIC
araguan affairs, and the power to reg
ulate her foreign relations and her
finances.
Under the proposed plan, Mic
aragua would agree in substance:
THAT war should not be declared
without the consent of the United
States.

NAPOLEON'S HORSE
Ancient Woman Who Died Last
Week Saw the Great
Emperor

Philadelphia, July 21.-Mrs. FTeda
Vidietsky, probably the last woman
who had a personal recollection of
Napoleon Bonaparte, died last week
at her home, in Philadelphia. at the
age OF 109. The Record in a sketch
of her life says that she was born in
Tchernigov, the capital of the prov
ince of the same name, in Northern
Russia. When she was 6 years old
she was taken by her parents to
small town near Smolensk, where she
later witnessed the Cornican's famous
retreat from Moscow. During the
excitement in the village when the
French were marching through, she
evaded the vigilance of her father, a
rabbi, and stood at the roadside
watching them pass. As Napoleon
rode by his horse reared up and near
ly ran her down.

MORAL FOLK OF MIAMI
Much Shocked by Exhibition of the
Picture of a Nude Maiden

Miami, July 20.-September Morn
still holds its place in Smiths win
dow, in spite of the fact that Chief
Ferguson demanded that the picture
should be removed from public gaze.
Municipal Judge Phillips decided that
there was no law against showing
pictures of this character in store
windows. The picture is a real work
of art, showing the childish form Of
girl, perfectly nude, standing in
the edge of a pool, evidently prepar-
ing for her morning bath People
of different moral ideas have express
ed their opinions very freely in re-
gald to the moral effect the showing
of such a picture will have on the
community, some claiming that it is
right and proper, while others are
equally emphatic that it is a sinful
shame" to have such picture placed
on public exhibition.

TRYING TO GET EMPLOYERS
AND EMPLOYEES TOGETHER
May Prove to be an Impossible Task
for the NewlandS Law
MediatorS

New York, July 2O.-The Eastern
railroads and their dissatisfied con-
ductors and trainmen have continued
the truce which for the past week
has rested on Congress mediation
and arbitration steps towards avert
ing the threatened strike of $4,000
men. An anxiously awaited develop
ment was the confirmation late yes
terday by the Senate of Judge Will
lam Lea Chambers as commissioner
of mediation under the Newlands ar
bitration law, and G. w. w Hangar
to be assistant commissioner. They
are expected here tomorrow for the
beginning of their labors
The mediators will be confronted
at the outset with stubborn differ
ence of opinion between the roads
and the men as to the debatable ques-
tions. The organization leaders
maintain that the only point of diff
! ference to be considered is that the
employees demands for higher wages,
but the railroad managers contend
that they have grievances which must
be arbitrated.
If both sides persist in their atti-
tude, a strike may be called within
twenty-four hours after a break in
the negotiations, as the leaders of the
employees are positive in declaring
their determination to issue the
strike order should the railroads re-
fuse to recede from the position they
have maintained since the Newlands
bill became a law. 1t is generally be-
Heved in quarters where the situa-
ton is being closely watched, howeE-
er, that the mediators will be able to
get the two sides together upon the
demands to be arbitrated.

DISPATCHES From Stricken City Con-
firm Story of Destruction
Fully a Hundred Die.
ARE CRUSHED IN BUILDINGS
Whirlwind Rips Path in Residence
Section at Incredible Speed.
Damage in Millions.

Omaha, Neb., March 25.-With
the death list probably aggregating
$50, and the list of injured all of
400, Omaha and the surrounding
territory in Nebraska and Iowa last
night faced the problem of hous-
ing the thousands rendered homeless
by Sunday nights tornado. The
number of buildings destroyed was
said to be in the neighborhood of
1900 and the property damage loss
was expected to reach several mil
lion dollars.
Belated reports coming to Omaha
tended to increase the enormity of
the havoc wrought and indicated
that a wider territory had been in
the path of the storm than was first
shown. Next to Omaha, where the
dead probably will not exceed 100,
Yutan and, Ralston, Neb., reported
16 and IA deaths, respectively, and
Council Bluffs -.
The hospitals in Omaha are full
of injured, many of whom have not
been identified, apparently because
their friends are either dead or
among the injured.
Last night the stricken section of
Omaha was patrolled by troops from
Fort Omaha and the state militia.
Governor Morehead has taken per-
sonal charge of the state troops.
There has been little or no looting.
The business men are cooperating in
every way. The hotels have thrown
open their doors for the injured.
Every train into Omaha yesterday
brought scores of physicians from
nearby towns who have friends and
relatives here, and they made up
one continual stream of visitors to
the nrorgues and the hospitals.
Loss to the homes will run into
the millions. The destruction began
with the millionaire homes in the
exclusive West Farnam and Bemis
Park district. Few lives were lost
in this district, but farther north
west the buildings collapsed more
easily and a large number of deaths
resulted.
Rescue work started as soon as
the residents of the town were able
to hurry to the stricken districts,
but the nights work was by the
light of lanterns and little was &C
complished.
The storm took down all the wires
in the path of the tornado and the
electric power was shut off at once
to prevent further loss of life. When
dawn broke a train load of militia
arrived from Lincoln and with the
presence in the city of Governor
Morehead, the work was systematic
ed and last night indications were
that one more day will end the
search for bodies.
Hospital facilities were generally
adequate. Des Moines sent a special
train with forty physicians and
these arriving at noon, helped out
the local doctors who had been at
work since o'clock of the night be-
fore. Nurses and medical supplies
were also brought on this train.
Money is already pouring into the
city, the city organizations taking
the lead in providing funds. State

from all quarters of the United
States.
The Child Saving institute at 69
South Forty-second street was press
ed into service as an emergency hos
pital after the storm had spent its
fury. Every available room was
used. n.
A pathetic sight was that of a
young girl keeping watch over the
body of her mother, Mrs. John New
man, who had been instantly killed.
As the body lay on the porch of the
institution awaiting burial arrange
ments, the daughter Mabel told OF
the storm.
Mother was i'll and confined to a
room on the second floor of our
house." she said. when the wind
hit the house it toppled over like
pasteboard. Mother and I were bur-
led in the wreckage. AS soon as
could pull myself from the debris,
began a search for her. Board af-
ter board lifted; 1 tugged and pull
ed at them until my hands were cut
and bleeding. Finally reached her.
| bent down to raise her, but she
was dead"
A, peculiar feature among the in
jured at the Child Saving institute
was that all were badly cut about
the face while the bodies were COM
paratively free from wounds. Ugly
looking scalp wounds marked every
injury.
The home of George J. Duncan,
advertising manager of the Omaha
Bee at 4101 Farnam street, was
completely destroyed. Mr.. Duncan
died at a hospital yesterday after
noon. Mrs. Duncan is in a critical
condition.
At the home of Patrick Hines,
2704 North Twentieth street, a par
ty celebrating his S1st birthday was
in progress. The guests had just be-
gun dinner and were drinking a
toast to the health of their host
when the storm swept the house
away. All the party succeeded in
getting out with minor injuries eX-
cept a grandchild, Miss Cecilia Bige-
low, who was internally injured.
"The party. had. just begun din
ner," said Mr.. Hines. Suddenly
there was roaring sound. The next
minute the house was in ruins. I
wiggled around and out and aided
the others Is escaping"
And then suddenly brought back
to the fact that his grand child was
near death, he said:
ooh, if it had only been me in
stead of Cecilia"
The body of an unidentified child
was found in the ruins Of two houses
with little rag doll still tucked I'M
der her arm.
Whens C. Saber discovered the
crushed and almost unrecogrliZable
body of his wife in the ruins of an
apartment, he fed down the street,
shrieking wildly. He is missing.
F. H. Smith, a private of the sig
nal corps from Fort Omaha, became
insane after helping carry number
of bodies and collapsed. When he
had regained consciousness, it was
necessary to take him to the post
hospital, where he was placed under
restraint.
Estimates of the value of proper
ty demolished by the storm vary be-
tween 100000 and s12,O00,000.
Some of the more substantial houses
can be partially rebuilt. but this
number is small and where these
buildings have not been wrecked
they have so been twisted that even
the material. is useless for rebuild
ing.

WILSON'S CABINET.

The Journal prints herewith the
earliest news, the latest news, and
the only authentic news concerning
the cabinet selections of Woodrow
Wilson, president-elect.
Mr.. Wilson's cabinet will be com
posed of democrats who take their
party principles seriously, and heileVe
a platform is built to stand on as
well as to get in on.
The attorney general Will be
man who believes in enforcing the
laws of the United States, including
the Sherman antitrust law: who be-
lieves that guilt is always personal,
and that the managers OF crlmlnai
corporations should 60 to jail.
The secretary of the treasury Will
be a very old-fashioned man. who
retains the outworn idea that money
in the United States treasury be-
longs to the American people, not 10
Wall street gamblers
The secretaries of war and OF the
navy will be men who understand
that the chief duty of their office IS
to provide for national defense, not
to distribute navy yards and army
posts where they will do most good
TO clamorous retail merchants.
Precise details concerning other
members of the cabinet are lacking.
It is believed, however, that the Sec
retarv of the interior will have no
unalterable prejudice against the oe,
velopment of natural resources ana
that the secretary Of commerce ana
labor VIII not find his chief deilght
in whitewashing guilty corporations.
