Court Will Wait
Before Deciding
'Ole Marsh's Case
Judge McPherson at Firit Determined
to Turn it Down, but With
holds Action.
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.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
All Fines Must Go to School Fund of
CITY ATT0ENEY CHANGES CUSTOM
Hale that lias Prevailed long Time
Gave Costs to General Fond of
Manlrlpallty Knules
. 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.
South Omaha Eagles to Bnlld.
A general committee of tho South Omaha
Eagles selected to have charge of the
proposition of erecting a hall for the or
der held a meeting Thursday night and
organized, making Fred Parks chairman
nd Henry Rothholz secretary.' A subcom
mittee of five was appointed to receive
bids for a building site. The order wants
business block within the radius of the
most prosperous business center of the
city and hopes to secure bids on prop
erty which will have from sixty to seventy-
five feet frontage. Bids will be received
until the next meeting of the committee
which is two weeks from Thursday.
The building to be erected will depend
something on the site which is secured.
but it will be three stories In height prob-
bly and the lower floors will be used for
tore rooms and will be rented to the best
advantage. The second floor will contain
the general hall and club rooms and the
top floor a dance hall and lodge room to
be occupied by fraternal orders. v.
It Is possible that- a theater of better pre
tensions than any now in the city will be
part of the equipment. This may take the
place of the store rooms If thought advis
able by the management. Tim building
will probably be erected within a year..

Political Result
Always Secondary
Governor Shallenberger, at Alliance,
Says He Makes Speeches Only
Upon Invitation.
ALLIANCE, Neb., May 28. (Special Tele
gram.) Governor A. C. Shallenberger was
the principal speaker at the thirteenth an
nual commencement exercises of the Alii
ance high school held in the Phelan opera
house last night. Twenty-two graduates
graced the occasion and the presentation ot
the class was made by Prof. D. W. Hayes,
at present superintendent of city schools,
but who has assumed a state character in
bis tecent appointment aa president of the
Peru Normal to succeed President J. W,
Crabtree.
The governor's subject was "The Value
of Educational Citizenship." The governor
would not enter into politics. He claimed
that notwithstanding he was accused of de
livering his various speeches throughout
the stato for political purposes, such was
not the fact, as he came upon earnest in
vitations from the various localities and
if political advantages accrue as a result.
It was secondary in every instance.
Martin la Fremont Before.
FREMONT, May 28. (Special.) J. W
Martin, under arrest charged with passing
a forged check of $492 on the Commercial
National bank, it was learned today was
not an entire stranger to Fremont. He
was here during the horse races last sum
mer and passed himself oft as a borse
dealer. He offered to buy a number ot
horses, usually one ot a matched team of
draft horses, but does not appear to. have
done any business in that line at that
time. Some time ago, however, he bought a
driving horse of a Fremont man for $175.
He has employed an attorney to look after
his defense and declines to talk of the
cube.
Officer on Swindler's Trail.
FREMONT, Neb.. May 28. (Special.)
Late last evening Sheriff Bauman wasand factories
notified over the long distance phone that
a man giving his name as II. O. Selvers
had been arrested at Mount Vernon, 111., on
suspicion ot being Henry G. Fischer, the
land swindler. He answered the discrlptlon
of Fischer and was negotiating a land deal
of about the same kind as he did here,
A Kansas City officer who once arrested
Fischer some years ago and who Is posi
tive he can Identify him left for IUlnoi
this morning and should he find the Illi
nois man to be the much wanted Fischer,
requisition papers will be secured and he
will be brought back to Fremont.

DANCES AND PICTURES BEAUTIFUL

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

modities have shown some advance during
the last few years," he said, "the products
of the farm show a much greater advance
than do the prices of the products of mines
He gave the following specifications:
Corn, US per cent; wheat, 88 per cent; .cot
ton, 82 per cent; oats, 1S2 per cent; rye,
117 per cent; barley, 126 per cent; hay, 49
per cent; hope, $40 per cent; potatoes, 73
per cent;, flax seed, 148 per cent; fat cattle,
tl per cent; fat hogs, 173 per cent; dairy

Commenting upon the general condition,
Mr. Smoot said: "The financial condition
of the grain raiser of the northwest, the
general farer of the middle west, the cot
ton planter of the south, is better than
ever. Financially he has become Independ
ent. The rural free delivery and the tele
phone have placed him in touch with the
world and he is aa familiar with curreut
Ime. It was pot:
' M si Miriam Patterson was one of the
blder people In the cast. That she was
charming to look upon was to be expected;
llkswlse that she would ling with a sweet,
clear, expressive volcej (hat sho wouk

certain, but thus she did. Mr. Will Roe
was the old toymaker. Mr. Homer Conant.
tha Captain Block-tin; Dr. Van Fleet, a
comic physician. Comedy was nluo con
tributed by Cha.ies Herlsog. John Hartley
and R. F. Donahoy as Noah, Mia Noaii

as another of the ark couple's progeny.
Soma grotesque fooling of a clever sort
and an acrobatic dance were given by Don
ald Hall as the Rag Doll.
Mildred Itcaly, almost as small as Eli
nor Keating, was the doll chosen queen,
and a running little figure, she was In pre
posterously long, royal robes, her hair don
up in adult fashion.
Among the many, many surcessrnl num

Tho performance was fclvcn without a

Msrtln of Chicago. It will be repeated
this afternoon and evening and If as large
houses attend as Inst night the Child Sav
ing Institute will garner a considerable
sum. -" '

erally did not accept it as a fact and
subsequent experience did not fully sub
stantiate the claims of Koch in this direction.
