Sterling Morton, Former Secretary of Agriculture, Is Unveiled Before Vast Crowd at Nebraska City By Associated Press. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Oct. 28.— In the presence of 5000 persons and with elaborate ceremonies a statue of J. Sterling Morton, secretary of agricul ture In the last Cleveland cabinet and founder of Arbor day, was unveiled at Morton park this afternoon. Sterling Morton, a grandson of the secretary, "drew aside the curtain which exposed the statue to view. There were six ad dresses, principal of which was that of Mr. Cleveland, which was a touching eulogy of his former cabinet officer and personal friend. He testified to Mr. Morton's "lofty civic righteousness, his simple and sure standards of public morality, his stern insistence on of ficial honesty and his sturdy adherence to the opinions deliberately and con scientiously adopted." Mr. Cleveland said he was not re quired for the sake of exaggerated tribute to insist that in the mere pos session of these virtues his friend was distinguished above all others, but ha asserted that Mr. Morton stood out from amidst a vast congregation of others because in defense of right as he be lieved and knew it he was willing to fight and suffer, "not only In a small arena of private and social existence, but in the fiercer, deadlier amphitheater of public life." Mr. Morton, said the speaker, be lieved that waste in public expenditure was a sin and In his official capacity "the noxious atmosphere of govern mental extravagance could not blind his eyes nor could the ridicule of those who had learned to scoff at official economy or the threats of those who perfidiously contrived to appropriate public funds to private gain, drive him to compromise with wrong." Continuing, Mr. Cleveland said: A Lover of Nature "Our friend loved nature with con satney and delight; and through nature he was led to a reverent love of the Maker of the universe. He served the purposes of God on earth and taught his fellow-countrymen to realize their relationship to natuie and the Father of all created things when he estab lished the planting of trees as a cus tom of general observance among our people. This work was done without trumpeting the praise of the man who founded Arbor day, and without per verting its beneficent design to the ex ploitation of his fame. It was done modestly and quietly— in keeping with the disposition of its promoter and his estimate of reasonable service. No beautiful crest of elaborate coat of arms would so well illustrate his grand simplicity, or typify the spirit in which this project had its rise and comple tion, as its symbolization by a grow ing tree surmounting the homely legend — 'Plant trees.' "We have fallen upon the days when our people are more than ever turning away from the old faith in the sav ing grace of character and flocking to the worship of money-making idols. Dally and hourly in the light of Investi gation and exposure characterless lives are seen in appalling numbers, without chart or compass, crowded upon the rocks and shoals of faithlessness and breach of trust.

"If our people ever return again to their trust In character as a steadying force In our restless enterprise and Im mense material growth, It will be when they take to heart the full sig nificance of such a commemoration as this.

Governor Mickey Welcomes Visitors Other addresess were by Governor Mickey, who welcomed the visitors: Hilary A. Herbert, David R. Francis, Mr. Stephenson and Dr. George L. Miller, the latter of Omaha. Perfect weather greeted the thou sands of persons who came to witness the unveiling of the Morton monument.

In this party were former Vice President Stevenson, Paul Morton and daughter, Miss Pauline Morton; Joy Morton, Mark Morton, Secretary Hilary E.

Harris and B. T. Cable also arrived by special train. A recep tion committee met these and other guests and they were escorted to Ar bor lodge, where they were guests of Joy Morton until the unveiling cere mony at Morton park this afternoon. John W. Steenhart, chairman of the executive committee of the Memorial Day association, presided at the unveil ing ceremony and introduced Governor Mickey, who delivered the address of welcome. The model of Rudolph Evans, a New York sculptor, was accepted by the Morton Memorial association after hav ing been examined In competition with several others at the Chicago Art in stitute. The object sought in the design is to combln* simplicity with dignity and irnpressiveness, thus typifying the manliness and nobility which character ized the life of the father of Arbor day. The central figure In the design Is, of course, the statue of Morton him self, which stands upon a massive yet graceful pedestal in an attitude char acteristic of his strong life. At the foot of the pedestal stands a graceful woodsprlte, her left hand tenderly pro tecting a young growing tree, symboliz ing the public spirited ideal expressed by Mr. Morton's simple formula, "Plant trees." A semicircular stone bench stands at some distance back of the pedestal and forming a frieze around it the words "Pioneer, Statesman, Scholar, Tree Planter." Upon the pedestal Itself is inscribed: "J. STERLING MORTON, Father of Arbor Day. Plant Trees." The reverse of the pedestal bears a concise sketch of Mr. Morton's life and public services.

Clever and experienced hands held tho drill which made a hole at precisely the right spot in the safe door just above the lock. A steel punch was then inserted and a blow with a soft hammer made no noise, but was suf ficiently powerful to smash the mechan ism in such a way that the throwing of the bolts was an «asy matter. The small inside boxes were opened with light jimmies. The entire Job was done in a most expeditious manner, without the slight est noise, and was completed between rounds of the watchman. Local and county officers working on the case have not obtained the slight est clew to the identity of the cracks men.

PARIS, Oct. 28. — That a general strike in Russia would be the first step toward a revolution and that preparations for a strike on an enorm ous scale were In progress was kuown among Russian revolutionists here some weeks ago.

SCORES OUR "ARISTOCRACY" Rabbi Hirsch Roasts Americans Who Brag About Their Ances. tors Ey Associated Press. CHICAGO, Oct. 28. — Self-styled American "aristocracy" received a se vere rap last night at the hands of Dr. Emil G. Hirsch. Dr. Hirsch preached at Israel temple on the relative signifi cance of origins and outcomes in so* ciety and religion. "If you are to have a noble family," he said, "you must get back to the be ginning, and if you have the proper number of ancesters you are noble. "These ancestors, however, should not be looked up too carefully, or some one who, in common parlance, was a cutthroat and a thief may be found. All tho ancestors who came to Europe were of that class. I'robably the an cestor who Is to be the object of a family's worship was a man with a big stick, who increased his territory by killing off his neighbors and annexing their possessions. In that way all the states of Europe grew. "If It is the beginning that counts, where would Lincoln be? He had no pedigree, not in his immediate parents, at least, though I believe his mother must have had some sort of nobility In her. "The greatest men In America have no ancestors, but the smallest men and women are beginvtfng to speak of their 'families.' Their ancestor proba bly came over, not in the Mayflower, but in the steerage of some immigrant vessel. And he, that first one, was the best. The family probably has deteriorated into wealthy millionaires and spend 3 most of its time in Europe."

ST." PETERSBURG, Oct. 28.— Day after day passes without the promul gation of Russia's new governmental system and a responsible ministerial cabinet to bring order out of the pres ent administrative chaos. Count Witts, to whom all factions look to assume the premiership, has spent almost the entire time of the past two days at Peterhof wrestling with the emperor, insisting upon conditions In connection with his appointment, which his maj esty is unwilling to grant. Upon his return to St. Petersburg to night Count Witte announced that the cabinet project, which has been lying signed for three days on the emperor's table, will not be promulgated tomor row, Intimating thereby that his pro gram, which is known to include a species of constitution involving the granting of "four liberties," freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, free dom of the press, and freedom of the person— has not been accepted. It la felt here that the delay cannot be long protracted and that is Is only a ques tion of hours when the emperor con fides the fortunes of the dynasty and the government to Count Witt's hands. Meanwhile the situation is passing from bad to worse, with matters at the moment in a state of unstable equilib rium. The chiefs of the state are at a loss how to act and the revolution ists, encouraged by the inactivity of the government, are growing bolder and more insistent in the demands made In their speeches.
