GOODYEAR RAINCOAT CO. CAUSES SOME DISTURBANCE JIM PHILIPS CAUSES EXCITEMENT IN COURT. MAKES START FOR HIS WIFE Outbreak Evidence Charles Pitte, the Stnr Who Heard Fired. ol OMAHA, Feb. demonstration by Jim Philips toward his Mablo Philips, threw the criminal side of district court into excitement.

Just as the court was rising Phll- jumped up from hia chair and started toward his -wife, who was sitting in the northwest corner of the space enclosed by a railing from, the rest of the court room. Philips had taken about two steps Deputy Sheriff, Nels Lundgren collored him. Philips pulled on, but was jerked back and thrown Into his chair. When the deputy caught him Philips' first act was to throw up his hands and wave them -wildly. Friday morning waa the first time has seen his wife since he Marsh Hamilton July 31 last Philips has not been to eee him at the jail since he became a prisoner there after his voluntary surrender.

Philips' behavior toward his wife is the subject of much conjecture and gossip. Those associated with the prosecution saw in It an attempt to Impress the Jury with evidence of fhe insanity which is alleged possesses the prisoner. Before this episode Charles Pate, chief witness for the state in the prosecution of Jim Philips for the murder of Marsh Hamiltor, held the center of the stage in district court this morning' when he described the circumstances of Hamilton's death, so far as he knew them. Also Mr. Pate told his own somewhat Inglorious part following the first two shots at the riverside cabin.

"I was sleeping on the floor," Pate told the jury, "and Hamilton lay on the bed with his head toward the door. I was awakened by some one calling. I heard a voice say: 'Marsh, come out here. There's a man wants to see you about a bill of "I looked out and Jim Philips stood in the doorway. He opened the screen door and stepped in.

I had got around to the corner of the house when I heard two shots. I then ran to Charley Hamilton's house, about 100 feet away. As I ran I heard three more shots." Pate saw another man standing outside the" door. He was asked on cross-fexsumination If this was William Philips, brother of the defendant, but the witness replied that he haJ not recognized the man. Pate was asked again and njaln why he had run away, counsel for defense seeking to get him'to admit that he had expected trouble when saw Philips enter the door, but the ness would not answer in a way satisfactory to the defendant's attorneys.

Called for Help. "What made you get away as fast as you could?" asked H. B. Fleharty. "I did not want to get shot," was the answer.

"You expected trouble between the two men when Philips went in, so you were ready to run?" "No, I did not think of" running until I heard the shots." The witness did not see any of the shots fired, either the two within doors nor, the'three which Philips fired after Hamilton had staggered out of the house. Pate's testimony ended with his telling how he had summoned Charles Hamilton to the scene by a cry "Marsh is shot by Jim Philips." The brother of the dead man then went on the stand. The state's first witness was Louis Bostwlck, who took a numbef of views of the scene of the crime and identified these when offered In evidence. The state has also under subpoena the following: M. B.

Thompson, Thomas Sm'ith F. Brailey, Dr. A. runn, F. B.

Marks. H. C. Powers, Edward Gardi- pce, William Philips, James Galloway Dr. William Akers and Mrs.

Anna Monroe. Whether William Philips, a brother of the defendant, will be put on tha cl is uncertain. He certainly will be a -willing witness for the prose- otlon. William Philips has been sit- ing by his brother throughout the trial. Jim Philips' fate will bo decided by a jury of comparatively young men who were finally accepted yesterdayj afternoon following a two days' examination of venire and talesmen.

Seventy-four men were quizzed by the attorneys on each side in district court before twelve acceptable to both wiere found. The defense then had left eix peremptory challenges and the state had used its six. Forty-four men were challenged for cause, most of these because they had a prejudice against capital punishment and a few because they had fixed opinions about the guilt or innocence of the man who called out Marsh Hamilton from his cabin by the sawmill near Florence and shot him dead. Nine of the twelve men accepted for the jury were picked up by Sheriff Brailey yesterday, the regular venire having been exhausted. Explosion IvllH Tivo.

An explosion of the big 40-ton copper converter at the American Smelt- Ing and Refining company plant last night at 7 o'clock resulted in tne death of two men and the probably fatal injury of one. The dead are J. Kallke, skimmer, H. pourer. The injured man is Oscar Meyers, night foreman of thq copper shop, terribly burned on face and limbs, has a chance for recovery As soon as the accident happened ambulances were summoned and the injured men were hurried to the Clarkson hospital.

Kallke and Anton died at 2 o'clock this morning. At the hospital it waa ascertained the two laborers were so badly burned there was no hope for them. Meyers IB in a serious condition, but there is some chance for him, as it Is beliet-ed he is not burned In a vital part of the body. Meyers' wife was sent for as soon as possible. She was at a wedding at a neighbor's house when tha newt was received.

Meyers has been in the employ of the American Refining and Smelting company for four years and is one of the most reliable men in the employ of the corporation. He has been married for two years. General Superintendent Page Is conducting an Investigation Into the cause of the accident. Until he has seen the men who worked on the night shift he says he will be unable to account for the explosion or the "blowing out at the bottom." Mr. Page says he looked at the converter after the accident and was at that time unable to detect any defect.

The converter Is a comparatively new one and has a capacity of forty tons. "When the molten mass escaped it caught the men unawares and literally roasted them alive. Their clothing was burned off and flesh and charred pieces of clothing were found burned together, resembling cinder. Kalike and Anton were married and leave wK-es and families. The report from the hospital Friday with regard to Meyers' condition Is that he is as well as can be expected.

Appenla DisiuiMsed. John Paul Breen, as attorney for several brewery and saloon men, has filed a motion in district court asking that the anti-saloon league's appeals from the board of fire and police commissioners in the cases of the Blatz, Lemp, Gettelman and Pabst breweries be dismissed. Ho contends that the league was neg'lgent In filing its appeals and did not get them in on time. Mr. Breen also files affidavits by Mayor Dahlman showing that he, himself, signed the transcripts January 24, or Immediately after the cases had been heard by the boaid of firo and police commissioners.

This is to signify that all the alleged tardiness is due to the anti-saloon league. There is one other case in which the brewery licenses are Involved and this is the Krug brewery case. That, it will be remembered, was heard by Judge Estelle In district court and was decided by him In favor of the brewery. The anti-saloon league took this case to the supreme couit, where it hopes to win. Meantime the brew- ei ies are throwing out anchors to windward by these motions to dismiss the other appeal cases In district court.
