promised general strike to aid the
striking traction employees, which
was called to begin yesterday, De-
spite the claims of the leaders that
the number who have quit work to-
tails l25,000, and more, police officials
said today that if strike was in pro-
gress, there was little evidence OF it.
Service on the elevated and sub

except for the withdrawal of a large
number of cars owing to the decreas-

and the general situation seemed to
be about the same as it has been for
the last week

Members Of the United Hebrew

on the part of strikers or their sym
pathizers to cripple the lines by cut
ting feed wires, soaping the rails and
pulling trolley poles off the wires.

Omaha and his wife were down
town last evening reveling in the in
candescent fairyland that the great
and good King Ak-Sar-Ben has pre-
pared for his loving subjects.
1t was the second evening of the
big jubilee. The miles and miles of
streets festooned and arched with in
car4escent lights and decorated with
Illuminated pictures of the governors
of the state, drew the crowds as they
haye seldom been drawn.
There was a double bill" too, for
the Week of Wonderful Windows
had its start. Crowds stood in front
of many of the stores, crowds that
extended out across the street and
necessitated the services of police
men to let the street cars get past.
Some of the stores had manikins for
the better display of their garments.
Highway Crowded.
On the kings highway, at Fifteenth
and Capitol avenue, there was vast
crowd of merrymakers. The laugh
ter of the pleasure seekers mingled
with the roars Of the barkers in front
of the various shows, the music of
the bands and organs, the Strange
and curious sounds" of the "ferocious
wild beasts of the jungle, poisonous
serpents," and other attractions
brought here at enormous expense
for the delight and edification of the
masses.
1t was dangerous place for
nickel or a dime to wander alone and
thousands of nickels and dimes ac-
companied by their owners were left
at the various mysteries" wonders"
"marvels" and thrills"
Weather Man Is Good.
The weather was perfect. At the
jubilee headquarters on the grounds
the word was given out that nothing
would be considered too good for the
weather man if he keeps up the pres
ent weather for the next ten days.
Among those present on the car
nival grounds last evening were OBJ
served Messrs. Z. Buckingham and
w. Jardine.
The orderliness of the crowds is
something that the police comment
upon with satisfaction. There is no
rough stuff" at all, such as was COM
mon in the days before confetti was
prohibited.
Hundreds OF people from out of
town are here already and reports
from out in the state, from Iowa and
other localities, indicate that the
crowd of out-of-town people will be
far bigger this year than ever before.
