Game ^ ardent Case Continued: Citizens Angered State Officials Refuse to En ter Plea on Charge of Shooting Girl. Special PUpiiti ti to The Omaha He« from a Staff forreaponrfent. Walton, Neb., March 30.—County Judge G. N. Parmenter today con tinued the case of the four Omaha game wardens, charged with shooting with intent to wound Esther Bloom, 14, if Ashland, until April 29. Coun ty Attorney E. S. Schiefelbein and C. Peterson and Robert Devoe of Lincoln, the wardens' attorneys, agreed to the postponement. The wrath of Ashland citizens, Which flamed when the Bloom girl was seriously wounded March 13 was aroused by the postponement. They charge that a deliberate effort is being made to delay the case until it must l>e tried in the November term of court. No formal Complaint. The butt of their censure is Coun ty Attorney Schiefelbein. The county attorney was ill at the time of the shooting and the complaint for the arrest of the four wardens was sworn out hy the girl's father, Andrew Bloom. After two weeks of investi gating of the case, Schiefelbein has failed to file a formal state complaint, although he has reason to believe that the legality of the present complaint will be attacked by the defense at the trial. He admitted Monday morning that he did not know whether the Bloom complaint was legal or not. When arraigned this morning the game wardens, Eddie Dygert, Ken Phillips, A1 Felt and W. R. Murray, tefused to plead and stood mute. Ac cordingly, Judge Parmenter entered their plea as not guilty. Courtroom Crowded. The courtroom was crowded with farmers this morning. Andrew Bloom was not present, having been prev iously notified by Judge Parmenter that a postponement would be granted. Citizens of Ashland Friday filed a petition asking the county commis sioners to appoint H. H. Bryant and J. H. Barry to assist in the prosecu tion of the game wardens. Bryant was defeated by Schiefelhein for county attorney at the last election. Esther Bloom, 14, who was shot by game wardens looking for out-of season hunters on her father's ranch near Ashland recently, continues to Improve at Bord I.lster hospital In Omaha. She Is able to walk around the hospital and will be dismissed within a few days, attendants said. DEADLOCK TIES UP ADJOURNMENT (Cnntinued From Faae One) Under the bill violation of any provi sions of the act Is a dcfuble tax and also a fine of from $10 to $2,000. Tn addition the county assessor has power to subpoena witnesses and question them relative to Intangible holdings. There was a hot fightl n the sen ate over the anti-monopoly hill lifted Saturday out of the judiciary com mittee after It had been killed. Final ly It was advanced to third reading with an amendment by Griswold at tached. Blue Sky Bill Advanced. Under the bill ,as amended, any firm or corporation operating in more than one town in the state cannot differentiate in prices charged or of fered unless It Is to meet competi tion, such competition to be started by local dealers and not by the firm with agencies in more than one town. Debate elicited the fact that the real objection of the bill as Interpreted by Its opponents, was to strike at creamery companies. The blue sky bill was advanced to third reading after an amendment was Inserted by McGowan of Norfolk, which refused blue sky law exemp tions to any corporation issuing stock In serial! unless such Issues were $25,000 or less. The 1)111 must go to the hsuse and its passage is doubt ful unless the deadlock on the appro priation bill continues indefinitely. A desperate effort Is being made to put the Gillespie bill over In the last moments of the session. This meas ure provides for state aid in building appoachs one mile on each side of state aid bridges not on state high way!. The bill was advanced to third reading in the senate.

They stowed them with malefactors from many other towns in the jail at O’Neill till the jail nearly overflowed. "We have reason to believe that one Swallow made dozens drunk," said Bob, Monday, on his return from the hard trip. He and his agents and dep uty state sheriffs, in two cars, went out of Omaha-last Thursday night, covered 760 miles, arrested 26 men and women charged with liquor law violations in 11 towns, and returned to Omaha, all in about 60 hours. They slept hut little. Patrick J. "Connolly, serving on a jury in district court, was one of five men arrested at O’Neill. Tire others were William Pinkerman, Frank Summers, I.en F. Bozelman and Ar thur Wyant. At Star they gathered in Floyd Crawford and left a warrant for the arrest of his good \\ ife, Mary, who was absent from the domicile.

Smith and Company's RUGS, LINOLEUMS, and DRAPERIES The expressions of satisfaction and the enthusiasm of hundreds of our customers was ample proof that the Wholesale "Smith” merchandise, at the prices we have put upon it, constitutes this year’s big opportunity to purchase floor coverings and draperies at a saving. The fact that the merchandise is new -some of it "in transit” only a few weeks ago, makes the offerings especially desirable. As this advertisement is being written, very active selling is go ing on and can go on for a week because of the large reserve that backs up 90 per cent of the goods displayed. Savings are greater than in the ordinary sale because this is a wholesale stock bought at a very low figure. Orchard-Wilheli i Peru Protests Tacna Decision Sharp Note Over Cooliilge Rilling to Be Submitted to State Department. By InternHtlonHl >>w« S«*rTlr*. Washington, March 30.—Peruvian dissatisfaction with President Cool idge's finding in the Tacna-Arlca award, which first manifested itself in demonstrations before the Amer ican embassy at Lima, culminated today in a sharp note from the Peruvian government containing de mands likely to prove extremely em barrassing to the American govern ment. Hinting openly at rejection of the award, despite the fart both Chile and Peru were hound beforehand to accept it. the Peruvian note demands that the United States send civil au thorities into the disputed province to replace the Chilean officials now in charge. Pershing Heads Plebiscite. Peru has charged Chile with de porting Peruvians and instituting a re'gn of terrorism in the province In advance of the plebiscite which Is to determine whether the territory is to go to Chile or Peru. This plebiscite Is to be supervised by Gen. John J. Pershing. The awkward part of the Peruvian demand, so far as the United States is concerned, is that to grant It would he tantamount to conceding the cor rectness of Peru's charges, and con sequently affront Chile. Unless the United States takes this step and' furnishes other “guaran tees" concerning the forthcoming plebiscite, the note sets forth, this Is an open threat of rejection of the award. Administration Perturbed. Administration offirlals are seri ously perturbed over the situation, as American prestige and influence through south aud Latin America are more or less at stake in the contro versy. An unusual feature in the situation is the fact that the contents of the Peruvian note leaked out here prior to Its presentation to the State de partment—an almost unheard of hap penlng from a diplomatic standpoint. The note itaelf had not been pre sented to the department this morn ing. although it was expected dur tng the day. Al the Peruvian embns sv it was not denied that the note contained the "demands-1 already published. At the Chilean embassy silence was maintained. CATTLE STARVING IN FIRE DISTRICT Valentine.

By International New* Service, Chicago, March 30.—Investigation of the New York Central train rob bery Saturday night In which bandits secured an undetermined amount of loot variously estimated at between $3,000 anil $300,000 today centered on Howard Young, express messenger, taken into custody while police check his story of the robbery. It was his arrest that brought re ports that the robbery was suspected of being an ‘'inside .job,” and of ficials today admitted that they were anxious to obtain more information as to why Young allowed the bandits In his car, what became of the a! leged letter signed by an agent of the express company and authorizing Young to provide them with trans portation which Young declared the robbers presented, and how the door of the express car was opened and the lights turned out, if Young lay helplessly hound as he rlaims.
