Judge Smith McPherson of the federal court yesterday took under advisement his decision in the matter of the application of George N. Marsh and Bert R. Shores, the two members-of the J. C. Mabray gang of swindlers who at the time of their trial in this city last. Marsh entered pleas of "nolle contendre" to withdraw their pleas and have their sentences of fifteen months In the United States penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth set aside. After the application was submitted Judge McPherson overruled the motion, but consented to reconsider the matter after an earnest request from John Llndt, attorney for the two men. According to Attorney Llndt his clients and he himself had been led to believe from conversations ha had had with the district attorney that In the event of their pleading "nolle contendre" the two defend ants would have been let off with a fine and not given a penitentiary sentence. It was on his recommendation, Mr. Llndt said, that his clients had entered these pleas. and he could not help but foe I a sense of blame for tne m,BIlnderrtBnd,ngi Colonel M. B. Temple, district attorney, who was present at the hearing yesterday, denied that he had ever made any ar rangement whereby Marsh and Shores were to escape witrTonly fines in the event of their pleading "nolle contendre" or guilty. He stated that Mr. Lindt had approached him several times on the matter imd that he' had told him that In case the judge would consent to a fine sentence he would not object. .Judge McPherson said that If any mis take had been made he believed it had been In not giving every member of the Mabray gang the limit. He believed that Mr. Llndt had done well by his clients by advising them to plead as they had done, because by bo doing he had saved them nine months In the penitentiary, but as there appeared to have been some misunderstanding, he would take the matter under advisement. Luther West, alias Tom Rogers, who was recently arrested at Webb City, Mo., was brought from Dob Moines and upon his ar raignment before Judge McPherson entered a plea of guilty. Judge McPherson deferred sentence until- he can take time to look up all the circumstances of West's alleged connection with the Mabray gang. West is said to have been one of the Jockeys employed by Mabray and his as sociates. He is said to have drawn a regu lar salary of $75 a month for riding In the fake races, and a per cent of the money dropped by the "mikes" on these races.

Will Bnlld. 1 1 The city attorney rendered an opinion yesterday with regard to the apportion- ment or ths funds received from fines and costs of the South Omnha police court which is Important In that It overthrows tho custom In vogue In South Omaha for ten or fifteen years. The attorney gave his opinion that all money derived from such sources should be applied to tho school runds exclusively. Heretofore the Judge has made a division of the fund and has obsignated tho fines as the part to be Placed in the school funds and the costs to the general fund of the city, or as at present to the interest and sinking fund. ir the decision of the city attorney holds good it may be necesrary for the city to reimburse the school fund with tho amount thus credited to the Interest and sinking fund. In the course of the fifteen years or more In which the practice has been In operation about $1,500 per year would have teen the accumulation of fines and the costs about the same or larger. This would represent about $,000 which may have to be accounted for. The attorney based his opinion on the fact that the constitution of the state and the general code designate how such funds fchall be used. He said: "The theory 1b that th9 money derived from fines should be used to educate the children of the men so fined, that they need not fall into the position of crime their fathers did. We have a provision in the charter and In the ordinances which permits this money to fall Into the Interest and sinking fund, but think they would not stand the test of constitutionality if brought to an exnmlna Uon." The attorney gave his opinion at the request of the city treasurer, and the treasurer, unless further directed by au tporlty. will turn all money from fines and from costs Into the school fund here after.

DANCES AND PICTURES BEAUTIFUL 1 L'ttle Folks Fall Into Spirit ol Affair ana Wist fir eat Applanse from the Fashionable Assemblage Present. Applause, crashing and heavy oi volume, echoed through the BranJeis theater again and again last evening, recalling group after group and performer after performer Ui the best amateur theatrical production which Omaha ever saw. Some 100 chil dren were on the stage In the first pro ltctlon of "The Toy Shop." In the the ater sat an audience which vied In fashion with the spectators of the opening play it the same theater some months ago. "The Toy Shop" will recall tt the mind of the regular theatergoer such produc- Mons as "babes In Toyland." "The Top ot the World" and "The Toy Maker of Nuremberg," but none of these In lovoll nets comes very close to the fantasy ot last evening. Those who went lo sea It predisposed to mane the usual allowance tor amateur efforts found this kindly feel ing a matter ot superfluity. No allow ance of the sort was necessary. Fond parents discovered that they did not have to constitute themselves Into a claaue tor scenes in which their partioular children figured; applause was spontaneous, not la bored, Tho spectacle was a delight to the eye and ear: A deal of pretty music, well sung by tho children, whose costumes were fulrly a vision of enchanting colors. They were nearly all dolls of, one kind or an otherJap dolls, China dolls, French dolls, bisque dolls and halt a dosen other varie ties. Inanimate during the first scene, they were wafted Into life by the wands ot four fairies who creep, according to the story from clocks adorning the toy shop. Honors for the Children. A number ot adults appeared in principal parts though not in ali of these. Among the' children, the principal honors for groups fell to three cunning, charming, lit tle girls, appearing as dolls ot blsaua. Dancing with them and vlelng with them In popular favor were three small boys, appearing as "fops." Two little . girls ot 8 years who danced a buck and wing In the second act received a rousing hand for their amazingly clever dancing, but even this applause was surpassed In volume when a child of 4 years, Elinor Keating, by name, tripped out before the footlights and danced a bolero. A Hot of enthusiasm followed. The little girl seemed hardly big enough to walk, tiny as the tip of one's thumb. But her dancing was not only Who's Who in THE CAST.
