Frank C Or.man was brought to trial in the superior court here today on charges of attempted subornation of per jury growing out of the conviction of Thomas J. Mooney for one of the bomb murders in the course of a preparedness day parade July 22, 1916. Ten persons were killed. Oxman was a material witness against Mooney, whose appeal from sentence of death is pending in the state supreme court. He is accused of attempting to induce F. EJ Rigall cf Grayville, 111., to give false testi mony against Mooney. Oxman's prosecution was to be conducted by deputies of State Attor ney General U. S. Webb because at taches of District Attorney Charles M. Fickert's office were to be called as witnesses. Fickert ordinarily would prosecute the case. It was expected that events which led to charges of "frameup" preferred by Mooney's counsel against the dis trict attorney's office and subsequent public controversy relative to Ox man's credibility would be laid bare. The expose of. Oxman's alleged at tempts to subrnate perjury led to consent for a new trial by Attorney General Webb. The state supreme court yesterday refused to grant a new trial on this consent. Mooney's appeal on the record in the case will De acted on Dy trie state supreme court in October. OMAHA WOMEN AEE PLEDGED TO DO WORLD WAR WORK (Contlnned from Fane One.) MOVE TO OUST CHICAGO MAYOR UP TO GRAND JURY Mayor William Hale Thompson, whom the Cook county grand jury may seek to oust from office because of his de fiance of Governor Lowden's order forbidding the holding of a meeting of the People's Council for Peace and Democracy. Park avenue a committee, under di rection of Mrs. R. C. Hoyt, had fitted up a pretty and homelike place from the bare store room they found there the day before. To a casual observer it resembled a bridge party, with its little tables decorated with flowers, its rugs and easy chairs. But the many American nags on the walls and tables, the piles of registration cards, the pens and ink bottles on the tables, forbade any thought o such levity on the part of the curious masculine guests who appeared early. Mere Man Envious. "We have to vote in barber shops and pool halls, but you have such swell places," they murmured envi ously. The busy committee ladies only smiled and said they thought a woman could lend a homelike touch even to a nollinpr place. The first to register at this place was Mrs. Draper Smith. She en rolled for settlement work and as a factory inspector, with the latter un derlined as her preference. The first half-hour'.- work at this station showed twelve cards filled out. One woman registering early was Mrs an Orman. 75 vears old, but she said she could do something to help At 2701 Leavenworth Mrs. Thor Jorgensen and her assistants reported sixteen cards by V:JU a. m. An un usual feature of the registration here ...... a -vf irMifi or lirntriAn who s trolled to help. Several high school girls of 16 years old came early, offering to do "typewriting and bookkeeping out ot school nours. Registration Notes. The first school girl to slen up was Miss Ethyl Webster of 10Q1 Park avenue, who Bid ho would like to help "after school hmirtt ' "W have found out women can do one thinK they can climb high ladder and put up flags without any disaster," laid the committee at 721 Park avenue, pointing ti the many decorations. These women also brought their knitting bags along, but had nn time to use them. Every woman who came to a polling dace was registered, even though she was in the wioncr district. She was in the "Harht church" anrued the registrars, even though in the "wrong pew." Her card was then sent to the chairman of the work in faer own district to be filed there. One of the first to call Miss Tobltt this morning was a colored woman who wanted to know if registration was compulsory. Miss Tobltt said no, but It would be greatly appreciated if she would. After a short talk she promised not only to enroll, but to. get some of her neighbors to do so also. A few halted when it came to telling the age, but not many. The thirty-year dead line, which so many women fear to cross, did not phase them and many boldly wrote 31 opposite their names. One proudly wrote 75. Instructions to the registrars said not to Insist on the age a woman might imply write "over 21" If she wished. An interesting feature of the registration at 2701 Leavenworth, for the First dis trict o' the Seventh ward, was the appear ance of several young women offering to do wireless telegraphy. They have been reading in the papers how the army and nr.vy is searching far and wide for radio operators, who are as scarce as her's teeth, and it occurred to them that this would be the best way to help the government.
