OMAHA, Feb. 22.-The rioting which began in the Greek quarter of Sooth Omaha Sunday afternoon did ot subside until an early hour this morning and the toll of casulties is fie person suffering with gunshot wounds, eleven Greeks so badly beat . en .that they were taken to hospitals for treatment and about 15 other per sona suffering from assaults or as the result of misdirected missiles in tended for the Greeks on whom the wrath fo the maddened hordes was centered. No estimate can be placetf . on- the financial loss resulting from the destruction of property by the mob. Not less than five shops of importance were almost wholly wrecked, while sixteen smaller ones escaped less serious damage only be came of their lesser hnportanc. The last trace of the rioters was not seen until nearly 4 o'clock and; at that hour Chief of Police Briggs and Sheriff Brailey began to collect their forces in the packing house dis trict, where it was expected trouble would occur in the event of the Greeks attempting to return to work as usual There was every indication that trouble would be renewed should the Greeks go to the packing houses, but the authorities did not expect any such attempt would be made, at least for a few days. Last night's work of the mob was seen better after the streets were fi ally cleared and the damaged pla- ee looked over- Espcial vent was given to the destruction of property bf the better class of Greeks. A B Cokoris, known aS "King of the Greeks," who owned two fine baker ies and other shops, had little left to day to show for bis thriving busi ness of yesterday. The homes of not less than a doz en ureeics wno nave families were visited, and in one instance the aven gers entered and destroyed the furni ture, threw cooking viands from of the house and her small babe. Feeling akin to that against the Greeks was heard frequently regard ing a large number, of Japanese who also are employed in the packing houses. Last night's riots developed the fact that nearly every Greek in the city is armed. Especial vengeance was wrought by the crowd at places where the Greeks made a display of firearms. Another noticeable feature was the persistance with which many women urged the rioters on. Hun dreds of these women gathered with the men and did not hesitate to ex- I press their dislike for the nationality against which the mob was hurling its invectives. Few arrests were made before mid night but after that hour the police and deputy sheriffs began hauling In those who gave evidence of being leaders and by morning nearly fifty had been taken to the police station and booked for disturbing the peace. At one time earty in the evening an immense crowd gathered around po lice headuarters and only a display of firearms by the officers prevented a successful attempt to force their way into the building. STILL BELIEVES IN THE TRIAL BY JURY f FAMOUS JURY LAWYER OF NEW YORK DELIVERS AN ADDRESS. VALE, LEGISLATORS!. leated stove and maltreated the wife AFTER SUFFERING ONE YEAR Cured by Lydia E. Pink ham'sVegetable Compound Milwaukee, Wis. " Lydia E. Pick, ham's Vegetable Compound has made ' 'I i " me a jvell woman. Thanks be. for the pitiful modi cum of advantage the State of Ore gon realizes from the vast, confused and costly mess you have left behind. We hope, most earnestly, that the 90 of you may individually come to know the pith of the burdens you have set up for the rest of us and do your several shares of pinching, and paring and cursing in the united ef fort to meet the millions you have plastered on the taxpayers of the commonwealth!. We can wish you nothing that is liable to impress you with a deeper sense of your reckless ness, your stupidity, your poor citi- zenship- For such few wise and wholesome things as did come through your dense ranks, under compulsion of the rare brains and characters that de vised them and the sheer merit that urged them, we are profoundly grate ful, though we are yet marveling that they cropped out of the avalanche of of insane and hopeless stuff you piled up, and found place and consideration in your "counsels." j Neither your State nor yourselves have anything to be proud of; no stretch of the imagination, nor the best disposed and most pliable con science in all Oregon, will grant you that. You have failed palpably, sure ly, completely, and you may make the best of that, as we must make the best of your raw blunders, and worse!. KAXSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 22- Dclphin M. Delmns of the New York Bar, delivered a Washington's birth day address here today. After giving the history of the trial by jury and its origin in ancient days, Mr. Delmas said; The most perfect conception of a magistrate is that of a just judge, not of a learned judge one who, knowing the law, also knows that its adminis tration must subserve, not thwart, the purposes of justice. The age has reached the second period in the evolution which takes place in every system of jurispru dence. The first is that in which the body of magistration to whom is intrusted the administration of the law, losing sight of their mission to do justice, place the administration of the law beyond the reach and comprehension of the uninitiated, surrounding it with ceremonioes which they alone understand. But there is a second period in the evolu tion of jurisprudence. It is that in which a reaction takes place against the jealous conservation of the judi cial body and the demand is for jus tice plain, ordinary, every day jus tice, "And now, the final question re mains, in the trial of controversies, to whostf hands shall the application of these fundamental principles be con fided? Shall it be intrusted to judges or to juries? Shall it be given to a body of men who represent but one class of the community, or to a body com posed of all classes? "For my own part, I have no hesi tation in answertng this question Believing in self government, I be lieve in the right of the people to make their own laws, I believe in their right to administer them. I give my fullest assent, therefore, to the words uttered by one of the chief justices of England, of the Vic torian age, who summed up his judi cial experience by saying: A jury trial gives expression to the sense of justice of the people which is the nearest approach to ab solute justice attainable in earthly Battleships Arrive (Continued from page 1) tainted mrtilar colors and one of ihe distinct features of the American navy will be a thing of the past.

ASHFORKS, Az Feb. 22.- Charles Casey was arrested here last evening on suspicion of complic ity in the Denver & Rio Grande train robbery. Casey came from Phoenix on February 17 and has since been drinking and spending money freely. A heavy calibre re volver was found on his person, to- aether with $1.0X1 in currency and ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH. "Admiral Spcrry, officers and men of the battleship tint; Over a year has passed since you steamed out of this harbor and over the world's rim, and this morning the hearts of all were thrilled with pride as the hulls of the mighty warships lifted above the horixon. Yon have been in the nor thern and southern hemispheres; four time you have crossed the line; you have steamed through all the great oceans; you have touched the coast ''f every continent. Ever your general course has been westward; and now yon come back to the port from which you set sail. This is the first battle ship fleet that has ever circumnavi gated the globe. Those who perform the feat again can hut follow in your footsteps. "The little torpedo flotilla went with you around South America, through the straits of Magellan, to our own Pacific coast The armored cruiser squadron met you and left again; when you were half way round the world. You have falsified every prediction of the prophets of failure. In all your long cruise not an accident worthy of mention has happened to a single battleship, nor yet to a cruiser or torpedo boat. You left this coast in a hifjh state of bat tle efficiency and you return with your efficiency increased; better pre pared than when you left not only in personnel, but even in material. Dur ing your world cruise you have taken your regular gunnery practice and skilled though yon were before, with the guns, you have grown more skilled still and through practice you have improved in battle tactics, though there is more room for improvement than in your gunnery. Incidentally, I suppose I hardly need say that one measure of your fitness must be your clear recognition of the need always steadily to strive to render yourselves more fit; if you ever grow to think that you are fit enough you can make, up your minds that from that moment yon will begin to go back ward. "As a war machine the fleet comes back in better shape than it went out. In addition, you, the officers and men of this formidable fighting force, have shown yourselves the best of alt possible ambassadors and heralds of peace. Wherever you nave landed you have borne yourselves so as to make us at home proud of being your conn trymen. You have shown that the best type of fighting men of the sea knows how to appear to the utmost possible advantage when his business is to behave himself on shore and to make a cood impression in a for- One of the of the happy homes of to-day Is a vast fund of Information M to the best methods of promoting health and happiness and Hght living and knowledge of the world's best products.
