Entire Railroad
System Of England
Tied Up by Strike

London, Sept. 2S.-The railway
system of the whole country, with
the exception of Ireland, is at al
most a complete standstill. The
great London terminals are desert
ed, the gates closed, a few police
imen providing a sufficient guard.
Noteworthy is the absence of any
disorder. The completing of the tie
UP seems to have rendered picket
ing needless. Moreover, the strike
leaders have been constantly inn
pressing the men with the import
ance of keeping order.
There were informal conferences
of the cabinet ministers and meet
ings of the executives of the Ma
tional Union of Railway Men and
railway managers. The managers
are endeavoring to run skeleton
services wherever possible, with
the special aim Of meeting, as far
as possible, the needs of London's
suburbs and nearby seasides and
holiday resorts. For this purpose
few men are Still willing to work,
and volunteers from the railway
clerical staffs have been employed.
James c. Thomas, secretary of the
union declared firmly against wide
ming the issue. unless compelled to
do so, and will only call strike i'll
London and ask the assistance of
the triple industrial alliance if he
finds that he is unable to fight the
railway question unaided.

Estimate of Damage.
No authoritative estimate could
be made last night of the damage
wrought by the fire. 1t was vari-
ously estimated at from 100000 to
100000.
The first estimate was based upon
the destruction of the interiors, and
the fitting: of the rooms, the larger
estimate including the marring of
the stone: work by the flames. The

fected By the flames, both as to
structure and smoke discoloration,

Court Records.
The greatest fear was expressed
over the, possible destruction of
county and court records. While
the vaults contained the most waltz
able of these, it was stated by many
lawyers that a vast amount of
records were contained in steel FL

unable to protect their contents

The problem of caring for many

solved by an Oregon designer. with
a garage containing as many floors
as an office building, which is de-

tober Popular Mechanics magazine.
The building is practically made up
of banks Of elevators and each ele-

compartment slopes toward the rear

method, while expensive, is declared
to be really economical for locations

Lloyd Skinner declared that the

a failure at protecting the city
that absolutely no delay should

TO the appearance of newspaper
men i'd the room when they first
arrived, but Commissioner Zim-

that they should be allowed to re-

At one point in the meeting
motioE was made that the news

FAIR WEATHER
PREDICTED FOR
FESTIVAL DAYS
Preparations Proceed Brisk|y
for Week Of Amusement
Big Crowds Expected at
at Omaha Carnival.
By EDWARD BLACK

Are we down-hearted? Well say
we are not. For there is a solid
week of the festivities ahead, begin
ming at l this afternoon, when the
carnival gates will be opened again
and closing saturday night, when
the Kings highway will be closed
The silver anniversary of the es-
adjustment of the Knights of Ak
Sar-Ben was given a flying start
last week and all signs indicate SIX
more days of real merriment.
Promise Clear Skies.
The weather man promises that
the skies will clear off and that
bright sunshine will bestow bene-
diction of brightness on the metro
polls during the week.
After day of rest yesterday, the
show folk who are with the Con T.
Kennedy carnival are ready to start
in again this afternoon and do their
best to entertain thousands of visl-
tors who will visit the grounds dur
ing this week. There is a great
variety of entertainment features at
the Kings Highway, and the gen.
eral run of the shows are superior
in comparison with former enter
prises of this kind. The Ak-Sar-
Ben management has endeavored
to furnish attractions which will win
popular approval, and the atten-
dance thus far seems to be the best
evidence that their efforts have
succeeded.
Big Crowd Expected.
Hotels and restaurants are prepar-
ing for many patrons this week, as
thousands will be attracted by the
electrical pageant which will be held
Wednesday night at s, and the au-
tomobile floral parade Thursday aft
ernoon at 2. The Ak SarBen grand
ball Friday night also will draw
many out-of-town people.
Business men are urged to deco
rate their buildings and stores.
Omahans and visitors are again re-
minded that an information bureau
is maintained at 1910 Douglas street,
Moon theater, where lists of rooms
are kept. Visitors who are unable
to obtain accommodations at hotels
are invited to take advantage OF
this bureau.
Rehearse for Parade.
Men who will ride on the floats
and on horses in the electrical pa
rade held a dress rehearsal at the
Ak-Sar-Ben Den yesterday after
noon. There is still time for owners
of private and commercial automo-
hiles 70 enter the automobile floral
parade which will be held Thursday
afternoon.
Another Children's day will be
held at the carnival grounds Sat
urday afternoon, when the Riddles
will be admitted to everything at
half of the regular prices of ad~
mission.
Wood Will Be Guest.
The visit OF Mai. Gen. Leonard
Wood, u. S. A., Friday evening for
few hours, when he will review
the electrical pageant, will be an
event of importance of the week.
The general is a man of national
fame and at this time is being men,
toned as a presidential candidate,
although he has not committed
himself definitely on the subject
Considerable speculation is being
INDUCED in as to who will be the
new Ak-Sar-Ben king and queen,
but OF course this will not be known
publicly until the coronation at the
time Of the grand ball at the Den
Friday evening.
Many Onnahans are preparing to
entertain out-of-town Ak-Sar- Ben
guests during the week.
