PLEA FOB REAL CHURCH WORK

Complains There is No Shouting

When Prodigal Son Makes Home

Ron for Heaven.

CHIEF MALONEY AT MEETING

v Everybody is going to the Sunday

meetings. -Yesterday afternoon there

were 8,000 people there. Steve Ma

loney, chief of detectives, stood in the

corridor and leaned in through the

opening listening attentively to

' "Billy's" sermon on "Personal

Work." There were plenty of empty

I benches, but Steve didn't venture in

:slde. . Near him stood the tall,

oriental-looking person often seen

. about the streets dressed entirely in

white with white coat reaching below

bis knees.

There was little slang to mark the

evangelist's sermon. It was earnest

and a plea,' or rather a demand, for

more real work in the church.

"You yell like Comanche Indians

when the ball team wins," he said,

"but if some prodigal son makes a

home run for heaven, it's carry him

i out and put him In the refrigerator.

You don't rejoice or say anything

about it.

"Some church people are standing aloof

from these meetings and some saloon

keepers and women of the redlight ara

coming to them. Some of you aren't

backsliders because you have nowhere to

backslide from.

The Wasoa la Different.

"I've noticed that everything- gets out

of the way and give room to the firs

engines when they come along, but no

one moves for an ioe wagon. It will be

the same war when the church becomes

a fire wafon instead of an Ioe wagon.

"It la a marvelous thing to observe the

wa . e of religious revival that is sweeping

across this country, when leaders in all

lines are crying out for a revival of the

old religion, when you ean't name a frtn-

gUblg city that isn't calling for re

ligious revivals. Why. in Philadelphia

one man asked the privilege of writing

bis check for $260,000 to flnano eur cam

paign there. We didn't 1st him do it,

' bat he wme willing. ...

"Oet en fire for God. A turtle doesn't

get a move on hint amy time, but Just

put a hot coal on the top of his shell

and see him move. It waawhen the Ro

mans shortened their swords that they

extended their empire. Wi must get

closer to the people;'

"Olerr te Ood."

As Mr. Sunday concluded his sermon

a man In the audience shouted In sten

torian tones, "Glory te Ood."

"Billy" made a strong talk about boost

ing the collections and referred to the

committee now taking subscriptions to

ward the expenses from the wealthier

men of the city. Next Sunday subscrip

tions of from 11 up will be asked from

the morning audlenoe.

"If al lthe churches in Omaha were

torn down and all the ministers driven

out this city would be but a blot on the

map, where no one would want te live,

where they wouldn't be safe and where

property values would shrink to almost

nothing." be said. "Ton have the benefit

of their, influence. What do you do to

suppcrt themT"

The sermon to children tomorrow after

noon will be illustrated by means of the

flags of thirty nations which "Billy has.

It will be 'more of a "talk" than a ser

mon. '

"Billy" Bundayg morning reading

at the -palatial home of Mrs. George

Joslyn was marked by an absence of

LABOR FEDERATION

m 3Y LAW

s

-uon Passes Anti-Prohi-

.n Resolution by Thirty-to-Twelve

Vote.

WOULD REGULATE LIQUOR SALES

The Nebraska Federation of Labor

passed an antl-prohlbltlon resolution

yesterday afternoon by a vote of 30

to 12.

The resolution protests against

i prohibition laws and favors reason-

i able regulation of the liquor trarflo

as enunciated in previous conven-

Hons. It was the original resolution

reported from committee and

amended by the committee shortly

before the final vote was taken.

The result was forecasted a few

Inutes previously by a vote of 29 t

12 on a substitute resolution offered

by Labor Commissioner Coffey in

w hich the protest against prohibition

laws was eliminated. Secretary

Shamp of the International firemen

' moved the adoption of the anti-pro-

J hibition resolution.

I Delegates who spoke for resolutions as

j passed, declared their only concern was

J preservation if employment of worker.

I newly organised Tra, ea Union Liberty

league, of which he la president, "w.ll

j not accept 1 cent from biewery bosses

or saloon men," was cheered by the dele-

f-ates.

A resolution demanding that the city of

Omaha shall not rvqulre firemen in Its

employ to do other work while on duty, i

was adopted. The federation also asked

the city of Lincoln to put into effect the

double shift syatem In Its fire houses as

, authorised by the legislature.

Want I', n. Make War Sappllea.

j A resolution favoring government man

ufacture of munitions of ttar and (hip

by day labor was passed. The re lu-

tlon asserts that private profit n war

suppllea Is largely responsible fur the de

mand for war preparation.

The antl-prohlbltlon resolution as passed

read In part:

"Resolved, that the Nebraska State

Federation of Labor In convention assem

bled emphatically protest against any law

having for Its object county or state

wide prohibition an instruota Its execu

tive board and legUVUve committee te

work against the same and for reason

able regulation as enunciated in former

convention.

The defeated resolution offered by Mr.

Coffey would "reaffirm fromer declara

tions" for "Just, and equitable regulation

of th liquor traffic"

Klaht-Honr Law Not Wavated.

The convention defeated a resolution de

claring for a law fixing a day's work at

eight hour. .The bplnlon was expressed

in debet that contests In the various

trades for shorter hour la on of th

uiuur Biiuuia aaopi an anu-proniDitlon

resolution reported out of committee, the

convention adjourned shortly after noon

without having taken action. Th Issue

was made the special order of business

for the afternoon session.

TwojVote were taken, however, in

whloh the wets were numerically su

perior. A motion by Delegate Larsen of

the local carpenter to Indefinitely post

pone consideration of th resolution was

lost, 27 -to 12, and a motion te adjourn,

supported by dry and some wets, was

defeated, 21 to 20, A reoess was taken,

however.

Several warm speeches were mad by

delegates.

Threatens to Withdraw,

Burr of the Lincoln printers threw a

bomb Into the convention when he de

clared that If the antl-prohlbltlon reaolw

Uon was passed he would recommend that

hi union withdraw from the federation,

that he expectod such action would be

taken and that he beltvd adoption of

th resolution would mean th disruption

of th organization. He declared th

resolution if passed would be misunder

stood and that It would be black eye to

the federation.

would starve by inches before ha would

Vloe President Beat declared there

would be no disruption of th federation

in any event.

IKtra Not Prohibit.

"Prohibition does not prohibit," Beat

declared. "There is not a town of more

than 1,000 in the United States In which

a man cannot get a drink of liquor on

hour after he arrives," he asserted. Ii

presented statistics showing more crime

in prohibition cities than In wet and told

of thousands of men thrown out of work

in prohibition territory.

Chelbroad of the local brewery workers

said: "It 1 a death struggle for the

brewery workers."

He read a quotation from a speech of

Llnooln opposing prohibition.

To Stand Toa-etker.

Wang-berg of the machinists asserted

that "th Interest i of one looal the

concern of all," and urged the federation

to stand by the men who would be in

jured by prohibition. He resented im

putation, that the liquor Interests were

behind the fight against prohibition made

by the worker in th trad.

benefits and weakness of th compensa

tion law.

The law on the whole Is vastly bene

remedy weak spots. ,

The present female labor ' law as

amended is almost useless, according to

Mr. Coffey. He declared it was almost

WASHINGTON. Sept. 16. (Spe

Bryan of Nebraska presented his fel

low statesman, tbe "Little Giant of

Grand Island," William H. Thomp

son, to Attorney General Gregory to

day.

At an early hour today Colonel

Bryan arranged for an Interview with

tbe attorney general, who returned

from his vacation on Tuesday. The

meeting was arranged for 3:30

o'clock, but it was nearly 4 when

Colonel Bryan, Mr. Thompson and

Mr. McConnaughy and a friend whose

name . could not be ascertained

reached the Department of Justice

In a "taxi."

Colonel Bryan and Judge Thompson

were immediately accorded an audience

by the attorney general and for half an

hour they were oloaeted together.

What transpired at that Conference Is

not known. It may be that the attorney

more pledges war tentatively assured.

the stage where an authoritative state

issued soon, perhaps tonight.

It developed today that th pro-derman

group of New York financiers had failed

to . receive,, invitations to Participate .

the negotiations, although the hint had

been dropped that they would welcome

it. Certain members of th group have

felt somewhat hurt by th failure to In

clude them.

Under no circumstances, It was said,

CARGOES OF MEAT

ARE CONTRABAND,

SAYS PRIZE COURT

British Prise Court Condemns Fif

teen Million Dollars Worth of

American Packers' Goods.

NEARLY ALL OWNED IN CHICAGO

Products Are Declared by Tribunal

as Forfeited to the British

Crown.

CHICAGO MEN WILL APPEAL

LONDON. Sept. 16. The Drltlsh

irlif court totluy condemned the

Kreuter pnrt of tho American prod

ucts forming the cirnops of four

steamships. The products, valued

at several million dollars, are de

clared forfeited to the crown.

The judgment was delivered by

Plr Samuel T. Evans, president of

the court. It Involves the cargoes

of tho Norwegian steamships Kim,

Alfred Nobel, HJornsterne-njorson

and Krldland. All the goods on

these vessels, consisting principally

of American meat products, are con

fiscated, with the exception of a

small proportion which the court re

leased to claimants.

The case has been pending for several

month. Th steamships were seised laat

November, and although efforts were

made by the American owners to obtain

an early trial the Urltlsh authorities set

th hearing for June. Th hearing closed

last month and Judgment was reserved

until today.

Jadsment of Coart.

In a lengthy Judgment. Sir Samuel said

It was plain thoae ships were carrying

toward Copenhagen when captured more

than thirteen times the amount of good

which undr normal circumstances would

have been taken to that port. That fact

gave practical and overwhelming assur

ance that the goods were Intended to find

their way to Oermany, although, of

course, It did not prove conclusively that

thay were destined for an enemy of

Great Britain. 1

One circumstance throwing light on the

real destination of the goods. Sir Sam

uel aald, was that tha exportation of lard

by one American, company alone to Co

penhagen In three weeks after the out

break of the war was twenty tlmea mora

than in period of peaoe. As to tin of

canned meats, h said, it had not not

been shown that they had been sent to

Denmark In any great quantity before

th war, yet hundreds of thousands war

ln40, the. way when .th vessel we r can.

tured. These tins, it Seemed, could not

hav been meant for any other parsons

other than German soldiers.

Itefarrlng to th consignments of rubber

described as gum tha president aald:

"I hav com to th conclusion that

gum la not a good commercial descrip

tion for rubber, and that It was used In

th ship' manifests In order to avoid

th difficulty which would reault In Its

capture by a belllgrsunt. Any conceal

ment of this sort will, while I alt in th

pris court, weigh heavily against those

who adopt such courses."

Sir Samuel allowed on el aim of a

Oanlah manufacturer for a quantity of

rubber, which he said had been shipped

In good faith for us in his factory.

Fifteen Millions a Meat.

Th meat cargoes, shipped for th moat

part by th great American packing com

panies and valued by them at Pi, 000,000,

were found by th president to be des

tined, except for soma small ltm, not

for consumption in Denmark, but for de

livery In Oermany. U held that thlr

eventual destination was th Oerman

government, for th ea of ta naval and

military forces. TO rul otherwise, Sir

Samuel said, would be to allow one's eye

to be blinded.

The court disallowed sixteen claima. In-

Hammond, Swift and Suliberger com.

panics. It allowed eight claims. Includ

ing that of the Cudahy company of Chi-eag-o.

Th other were Danish consignees.

Sir Samuel gave leave to appeal, fixing

security for the cosU at U5.000. divisible

among the appellants. He also gave th

crown attorney leave to appeal In th

eases of the Cudahy and other claims

which were allowed.
