FELL UNDER A SIREN'S CHARMS
Jaeoh Bebafcner, an Adventist Dele
gate, Robbed by a Dusky Maiden
He Met by Chanee.
Jaoob Schafener, a delegate from Atlan
tic, la., to the convention of the Seventh
Day Adventlsts, now being held at Ot-r-mania
hall, reported to the police of being
robbed of 114 yesterday. Schafener said
that he was trying to find a friend and ran
acroaa a colored woman at Thirteenth and
Casa streets. He got Into conversation
with her and she told him that she knew
where the party was and asked him to go
with her. She led him to her place at 611
North Thirteenth street, but on arriving
there there was no friend to be found. Ac
cording to his story the woman then called
him many endearing names and generally
conducted heraelf In an unseemly manner,
At thla point he wished to leave, but the
woman became more loving. When he was
finally able to make his departure he dis
covered the loss and notified the police.
Beside the trouble handed to Schafener
the Adventlsts are worried over the disap
pearance of William Tatro, another dele
gate. Tatro Is a man of 00 years of age
and has not been seen since the conference
held on Friday night.
Willie Davla was arrested early this
morning and charged with being the one
who took the money. Dan Baldwin wns
sent to Oermanla hall, where the delegates
are putting up during their stay here, and
routed Schafener from his bed. Sch fener
Identified Willie Davis aa the woman he
had talked with. While at the police sta
tion the second time he poured out mors
of his perplexities Into the ears of the
sympathetic Captain Mostyn. It appears
that he did not miss the money until going
to pay for the laundering of a shirt, and Is
now unable to pay for the shirt unless some
friend comes to his resoue.

ARRESTED NOW FOR TRESPASS
Man Who Declined to Be Discharged
by Electric Light Company
is Locked Up.
A. Mosely, an expert mechanical engineer
of Boston, representing the United Electri
cal Supply company, was arrested Saturday
afternoon on a charge of trespassing on the
grounds of the New Omaha Thomson
Houston Electric. Light company. Fourth
and Jones streets. Mosely was released on
a cash bond to appear In police court Mon
day morning.
It Is stated that Mosely was sent to
Omaha about four months ago by the Bos
ton firm to superintendent the installation
of numerous Improvements that are being
made at the umana electric light plant.
The Boston man, It appears, had certain
ideas that did not accord with those of the
electric light people, and vico versa, with
the result that the breach widened, until
Mosely was summarily dismissed last
Thursday morning.
But Mosely, It Is said, placed himself
above the officers of the Thomson-Hous
ton plant, .continued to give his orders to
the force of men that had been working
under htm and refused to consider himself
dismissed. A police officer was stationed
t the plant on Friday and Saturday to
watch Mosely's tactics, which grew to
such proportions, it Is alleged, that ha waa
arrested Saturday afternoon.
An official of the Thomson-Houston com-
psny, speaking of the incident yeaterday,
said: "Mosely Is merely one of our em
ployes and we dismissed him for Insubordi
nation."
ROOF FOR THE AUDITORIUM
TwentyThoosand-Dollar Fund is
More Than One-Fourth Raised
During; Week.
The effort to raise the final 130,000 with
which to put the roof on the Auditorium
and equip the building for opening began
last Monday and has reached $3,100, being
a little over one-fourth of the amount re
quired. The directors will puxh right ahead
until the S20.000 Is reached. Several of the
directors have beenut of town the greater
part of the last week and on this account
there has not been very much aggressive
work done. But better results are looked
for the coming week, when the directors
all get back home.
It la but fair to state that all but two or
three of. the new subscribers have sub
scribed and paid Into the Auditorium fund
much larger amounts than they have sub
scribed to thin final J20.000 fund. This is
the second or third time around for most
of them, but they dd not wish to see the
Auditorium ttandlng longer In an unfln
Ished condition. It Is hoped that many
who have not yet subscribed at all and
others who have given wfll awing In now
and help close the matter Up in short or
der so that the roof contract can be let
at once.
LAWYERS ENJ0Y THEMSELVES

anal Make Most of the
Evening.
Yearning with a desire to accomplish
something unique and unusual In the line
of entertainment, the committee having
In charge the monthly meeting of the
Omaha Bar association, which, Saturday,
was In the form of a dinner at the Mil
lard hotel, decided to have a function at
which there should be no after dinner
speeches. There were no demurrers filed
or exceptions noted by the members to
this arrangement, and so the unusual
spectacle waa presented, of seventy-five or
more lawyers gathered In onV place where
none of the number had anything to say.
The dinner waa an elaborate one, and after
It had been served the members ot the
olub sat back, each with his hands In his
own pockets and manifestly etijoyed his
Immunity from being called upon. The
entertainment consisted of a choice pro
gram of music rendered by Robert Cus
caden and a stringed quartet and several
monologue dialect sketches and stories by
Carl Relter In his Inimitable fashion.

known and happened before the Buckeyes
surrendered their right to citizenship In

Some Ohio Reminiscences.
Mr. Webster was not present to respond
to thie compliment. He was to have been
the speaker ot the occasion, with the sub
ject. "Ohio." A number of three-minute
reminiscences of the old state were given.
C. D. Thompson was the first to respond
In this list and paid a glowing tribute to
Columbiana county and to New Lisbon, the
county seat, which he said seemed to him
the most beautiful city of Its site In the
country. He enumerated great men who
had sprung from this town McKlnley and
Hanna among them and five generals of the
army. To the Sandy and Beaver canal. In
the company of which Hanna's father was
president, Mr. Thompson laid the great
ness of several famoua men. The canal
failed and these were obliged to leave New
Lisbon and go out Into the world.
N. A. Kuhn, also a Columbiana man, fol
lowed and told three very funny stories on
Mr. Thompson, Judge Troup and Toast-
master Howard. He told how the first of
these, with a Winchester loaded with blank
cartridges, had In vain tried to atop a tame
grizsly which was hurrying to the hotel
where It belonged, for breakfast.
M. R. Risden, who came next, drew the
long bow for Ohio till It cracked. Forty
eight was the number of major generals
and fifty-seven of brigadier generals which
the state had furnished the union. He told
of the buckeye and its mystical number
seven, saying It was a fitting emblem, being
first In the spring, aa the men of Ohio
were always first.
Miss Belle Knowlton of Erie county fur
nlshed an amusing story of a dog and R. I1
Hodgin of Morgan county spoke earnestly
for the society. Mell Uhl said that from
the notice he had received he had got the
Impression that he was to fill the gap made
by Mr. Webster, and finding this not to be
the case was unable to frame up a short
speech. He filed a protest on having been
forced by his parents to leave Ohio at the
age ' of 7 months. His apology was ac
cepted. Kaley Files a Claim.
J. S. Kaley atood up for Wyandotte
county and protested some of the honors
claimed for Columbiana. Dr. C. E. Sapp'
told of a ducking he received on the neck
of a thirsty horse and A. C. Troup admitted
that he had been born In Saratoga, N. T..
told war-time reminiscences of Ohio and
paid a eulogy to Ohio form life. Dr. Mann
added to the reminiscences and J. H,
Daniels told how by marrying an Ohio
woman he had had fame thrust ,ipon him.
"As I look up and down at this gather
ing." said Dr. Victor H. Coffman, "I am
surprised to think so mnny good looking
and youthful people as I see here should
have come from Ohio. I congratulate Ne
braska, which has won these at the expense
of Ohio. One half century ago I left Ohio.
I was not consulted, was taken by force
by my father and mother. Father had al
ways promised that he would send me to
the Ohio Methodist college, and aa this
waa a factory for Methodist preachers it
was expected that I should become a
minister. Riding with a friend in olebraska
before the time I was to go, I told her

TARI9, March 13.-The Inform sugges
tion that Fiance snd the Vnlted State
act Jointly as peacemakers In the far cas-t-ei
ii war has been made w ithin the Ia.t
week, and although the officials consider
that any peace vvertures would be futile
at the prevent stage, yet tho suggnatloa
leads to the belief in very high quarter
that Franca anil the United States will be
come the eventual peacemakers. The sug
gestion comet, from one of the most prom
inent American railroad men, who prob
ably has the largest railroad dealings with
Rusxia of any American.
Inning a recent visit here he called at '
the American embassy and other official
quarters. In the course ot his visit he
strongly urged that France and the United
States, by reason of their International
friendships toward the two belligerents,
were specially qualified to Initiate a peace
movement. The American believed Rus
Bla would gladly avail itself of the oppor
tunity even now and that International
Influence would favorably Incline Japan.
Tho suggestion wss entirely unofficial
and Informal, but none the less It was ex
pected that it would prove a germ for
official action. However, no such official
action Is likely at the present time, as It la
the accepted view of tho "rench and
American authorities that neither of the
belligerents would listen to any peace
overtures.
