at South Omaha last evening, ended
In favor of the packers. The com
mittee to decide the contest waa
Superintendent Martin of Nebraska
City, the principal of the Council
Illuffs school, VV. A. Drlndley, and the
third man was Elwood Anderson
from the Omaha public schools. The
decision was unanimous against
Plattsmouth.
The question debated was, "Re-
selved, That the policy of maintain
ing the United States navy at Its
present strength Is preferable to the
policy of suubstantially increasing
It." South Omaha had the affirm
ative and was represented by Edward
Rratton, Wlnthrop Lane and John

negative, and Bent as her champions
Elmer Halstrora, Matthew Herold

rather a one-sided question, the South
Omaha boys having the advantage In
this particular, as well as In the clos

Athlnal and arrested twenty nine mem
berg of ita crew, charged with consplr
acy to violate tho United States immi
gration laws. Those arrested include
tvery one in authority from captain
down as well as the resident agent
of the company here. The Bteamei
belongs to the Hellenic Trans-Atlantic
Steamship company. The government
charges that the company has been
smuggling in aliens for more than a
year, some of them disguised as mem
bers of the crew, others hidden about
the ship until there was no danger ol
search.
Nikolas A. Galanos, the agent, wai
released under $20,000 bonds and h
confidential secretary in the sum ol
$15,000. Captain Kolouras was re
leased under $10,000 bail, as were his
first officer, chief engineer and Dr.
Diakovatos, the ship's surgeon. Three
other officers were held in $10,000
bail each and each of the sixteen
members of the crew In $3,000. In all.

is $10,000 and two years' imprison

members of the crew, or else to tak
passage and when the ship arrived tn
avoid inspection either by hiding oi
