GRACE SLATER
IDENTIFIES MUR
DERER OF SMITH
Hauser la Picked Out of Crowd of
Prisoners by Omaha Parties
Who Were Present.
ALSO BY PARTY
From Friday's Daily.
Wichita, Kas.. Nov. 11. With tears
streaming down her cheeks and her
form shaking. Miss Grace Slater to
night identified Art Hauser as the
man who shot W. II. Smith and at
tempted to assault her after the shoot
ing on October 16.
She picked Hauser from a crowd of
about twenty prisoners in the county
jail. Not a word was said by any of
the prisoners, or party untij after she
had identified the man.
Hauser also was identified by Mr.
and Mrs. W. T. Hause. Mrs. Whitney
and Ed J. Malone as the man who had
robbed them at a house party on Octo
ber J. They identified him in several
ways. Malone identified an opal ring
Hauser was wearing as the same the
man who robbed them wore the night
he held the party up.
The three women broken down after
identification and had to leave the jail.
Hauser made no comment whatever on
the identification and did not try to
avoid being seen. After he was picked
from the crowd he walked out into the
middle of the corridor and turned
slowly around.
Wichita and county officials prob
ably will decide tomorrow whether
they will give Hauser to the Omaha
authorities or not. Many of the offi
cers are in favor of it and have ex
pressed themselves in that way. A
meeting between the two sets of offi
cers has been called.
Hauser was identified here by Mrs.
H. J. Wheeler as the man who held
her up and took diamonds away from
her. There are several other charges
against him. People whom he at
tacked here will be taken before him
tomorrow for identification.
Wichita officers arrived home late
-today after dodging Missouri officers
by detouring from Indianapolis, where
Hauser vm arrested Saturday,
through Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkan
sas and Oklahoma. Officers from Colo
lado and Nebraska are in the city to
night steking to get possession of
Hauser on warrants charging serious
crimes.
The train on which the local officers
rude was stopped near the city limits
am' the prisoner was taken to jail by
a circuitous route to avoid a threat
ened demonstration. Hauser is charged
in Wichita with highway robbery and
with assaulting women. A large crowd
was at the station and he was in the
county jail before they knew it. He i
being closely guarded as it is believeii
he may try to commit suicide. A mur
der committed here several years ago
is believed to have been committed by
Hauser, and officers are now trying
to trace it to him. If it can be done
he probably will be retained here.
DEATH GAME TO
BEN HORNING AT
NOON TODAY
From Friday's Dally.
Today at noon Ben Horning, one of
the best known residents in this sec
tion of Cass county, passed away at
his home, just south of this city, after
a long, lingering illness, suffering
from cancer. Mr. Horning was born
on the farm where he died, on July 15,
1870, and has made his home there
all his life. Mr. Horning was a gen
tleman well known and loved by a
large circle of friends and his death
comes to them as a severe -blow, al
though they have been aware that his
brave fight for life was soon to be end
t ed, and to the afflicted gentleman the
end came as the restfulness of sleep,
after the suffering of the last year,
when his malady developed beyond all
checking. He bore his suffering with
a Christian faith and spirit awaiting
his release from his affliction. As a
man and friend and neighbor there
has not been any better men than Ben
Horning. No arrangements have been
made as yet for the funeral.

BOY HAD NO INTENTION
OF RUNNING AWAY
From Friday's Dally.
Walter Isbell, the young boy who
was missing from his home from Wed
nesday to Thursday was found
at the Jensen home, just north of La
Platte, yesterday, where the boy had
been stopping over night. He stated
that he had no intention of running
away, but haj decided to go to the
Jensen home to make a short visit and
did not tell his foster parents of his
intentions, as he expected to return
home the next day and gave no
thought to the alarm that his absence
might cause or the anxiety felt over
his disappearance. He came home
yesterday and is now at the
residence of his parents and every
thing is as usual.
"FRECKLES" THE
GREAT SONG
PLAY COMING
At the Parmele Theater Next Tuesday
Night. Which Is (Greatest Drama.
Feature of the Age.
"Freckles," a dramatization of one
of the most widely read books in the
past decade, by Gene Stratton-Porter,
is announced for Tuesday night, No-
ember lti, at the Parmele theater.
From literary standards there have
been few greater nature stories writ
ten. That it has been marvelously
popular is attested by the fact that
over 5,000,000 perosns have read it.
When one has read a story there is
always a desire to see it played; to
see the characters in real life, ar.d this
is undoubtedly the most important
reason for the success of "Freckles"
as a song play. During its trial per
formances it drew ' record-breaking
audiences, and with unanimous ac
claim the prophecy went forth that
its success as a song play would equal
its unqualified success as a novel. On
regular tour this season, with a com
plete scenic equipment and a strong
company of artists and singers, it is
playing to capacity audiences every
where.
Under the management and direc
tion of the Broadway Amusement Co.,
known from coast to coast as produc
ers of nothing but clean, healthy dra
matic attractions, this song play hit
is making theatrical history.
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
WHILE IN FIT OF
DESPONDENCY
Yesterday morning in a fit of de
spondency Felix Sieczkovsky, residing
in the south part of the city, made an
unsuccessful attempt to shuffle off the
mortal coil by stabbing himself with
a small penknife in the left breast, and
while the unfortunate man selected
the right spot to operate on, he failed
to use a large enough knife and only
succeeded in making a flesh woun
mat while it bled profusely, was not
fatal, and on the discovery by other
members of the family of the rash act
of the man, medical assistance was
summoned and the wound dressed
Mr. Sieozkovsky has been in poor
health for the past few years suffering
with mental trouble and was for a
time at the state hospital in Lincoln,
but since being released has been em
ployed in Omaha as a watchman at
one of the large manufacturing plants
in that city, but last week he was laid
off temporarily and came home Satur
day evening very despondent and wor
ried and decided that the easiest way
to finish would be by taking his own
life, but in this he was unsuccessful,
as the weapon he chose was not of
sufficient size to inflict a fatal wound.
The condition of the man is to be re
gretted, as he has been a man of
great industry and up to the time he
was first taken with his affliction was
employed in the Burlington shops in
this city, and since that time has been
suffering a great deal from his
malady.

v.hat flag represented to them in its
folds that which meant life and liberty
and the pursuit of happiness and their
reverence and respect for their coun

ship might be more impressed upon
the young people attending the schools
r.nd the lessons of bravery and hero
ism which had been given to bring
the United States to its present great
position as the greatest free country
on the face of the earth.
The response by Father Shine was
a beautiful and seholary address on
' The Flag," and it thrilled his hearers
as he recounted the history of the
emblem that today floats over the
United States as the guarantee of the
enjoyments that are given to the loyal
. citizens of the republic; The addres.-
I or ratner tnine was ni:ei witn an
appeal to the higher ideals of the
duties of a citizen and he pointed out
what the flag stood for by a explana
tion of the origin and history of the
Star Spangled Banner that has been
adopted as emblematic of the United
States of America.
The occasion was one that will long
be remembered and clearly showed
that the young people of St. John's
school are Americans through and
through.

MUCH JOY AT THE HOME OF
MR. AND MRS. ALLEN RENNER
There was much joy at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Allen Renner Saturday
evening when the stork, in his flight
over the city, made a short stop there
and left in their custody a fine little
son and heir. The little son is one
that they can be well proud of, as he
is hale and hearty and of the regula
tion size and weight. The occasion
was one that brought the p;reatest of
happiness to the delighted parents,
and yesterday Allen was about th
happiest man in the whole world, as
he had a perfect right to be under the
circumstances, as there are few fam
ilies fortunate enough to have such n
fine son. The mother and little one
are both doing nicely and the father
will bea bio to settle down to earth
in a few days.

TWO LARGE AU
DIENCES AT THE
ME- CHURCH
The Church Was Crowded With Eager
Listeners, Both Morning and
Evening, All Interested.
Yesterday was a great day in the
religious awakening of the city and
the meetings which are being conduct
ed for the purpose of stimulating thi
interest in the work of the churches
and the advancement of Christian life
were very gratifying to those who
have labored so hard in this line of
work.
At the morning service at the
Methodist church there was a large
congregation and the services con
ducted by the pastor, Rev. F. M. Dru
liner, were most inspiring and the
splendid sermon delivered was one of
the best that has been given so far
during the meetings. -Fourteen came
forward and joined their lives with
Christ at this service.
In the afternoon there were a num
ber of special meetings, the High
school boys having a meeting in the
basement of the Methodist church,
which was led by a number of the
High school boys of Omaha, and the
inspiration of the meeting resulted in
the formation of a gospel team here
for work in the betterment of the lives
of those they could touch. In the main
auditorium of the church at 2:30 a
largely attended men's meeting was
held, at which G. G. Wallace and Hon.
Charles G. McDonald, referee of the
United States court, and Mr. Blair, of
the Omaha Bee, gave short addresse.;
along the line of their personal ex
periences and the results of the living
of a Christian life. At this meeling
a male quartet, composed of B. A. Mc
Elwain, Herman Hough, II. G. Me
Clusky and Bert Knorr, gave a num
ber of exceptional beauty and which
served to add to the interest of the
meeting.
The largest meeting of the day was
the evening service at the MethodUt
church, at whicji Mr. Fred C. McMil
lian of Des Moines, vice president of
the Iowa Short Line Railway com
pany, and one of the most prominent
men in the Iowa state capital, was the
principal speaker. Mr. McMillian's
address was along the line of personal
experience, in which he recounted his
life as a member of the Congregation
al church of that city, in which he had
kept his membership, and of his sud
den awakening to the need of active
Christian work on the occasion of tha
visit of Billy Sunday to that city, and
of his determination to give a part of
his time to the movement to better the
religious conditions of his fellowman
The speaker was one of the best that
has been heard in this city and his
sincere and earnest enorts mane a
marked impression upon his hearers.
G. G. "Wallace of Omaha also made a
few remarks at this service along this
line. The male quartet, composed of
Messrs. Brooks, Cloidt, Seivers and
York, assisted in the music at this
service, in addition to the large chorus
choir. The address of Mr. McMuhan
was one of exceptional force and he
certainly seemed a man with a mes
sage, and in his offiical position, de
manding almost constant attention, he
finds time to aid the advance of Chris
tian thought and living.
The morning service at the Presby
terian church was one filled with much!
interest and the pastor, Rev. IL G. Mc-
Clusky, in his sermon, was very forci- I
ble and eloquent in his teaching of thol
word as given to him. mere were

THREATENS TUR
KISH PERSIA RULE
Brings

Larj;e Army to Within Strik

Few to Stop Him.
SAID SURPRISE FOR THE TURKS
New York, Nov. 12. The Grand
Duke Nicholas of Russia has came
back into military prominence by di
lecting a campaign in northern Persia
which is taking from the Turks their
only success of the war.
This is undoubtedly the explanation
of a brief announcement from Pctro
grad that a Russian force is within
forty-five miles of Teheran, the capital
of Persia, and that the shah, the Ger
mans and Turks are preparing to flee.
At the beginning of Turkey's entrance
into the war, the capture of northern
Persia was one of the Turks' principal
objectives. Northern Persia is Rus
sia's sphere of influence, and is, for
practical purposes, a Russian posses
sion. To make Persia a dependency of
the Ottoman empire has for many
years been an ambition of the Turks
the lurkisn campaign
which
opened along the eastern Asia Minor
front failed in the Russian Caucasus,
but has been successful in Persia. Tht j
Russian forces in the northern Persia
districts were driven back to their
own territory early in the present year
and Turkish and Teutonic influences
have been reported as being supreme
at Teheran.
The loss of northern Persia has
been a serious blow for Russia and
the redemption of the conquered terri
tory evidently began to enter into the
plans of the Grand Duke Nicholas
when he was appointed viceroy of the
Caucasus two months ago. The inter
vening time has been amply sufficient
to permit him to direct a sudden of
fensive against the Turks in northern
Persia. It is apparent that the Turks
have been taken by surprise or there
would have been reports of battles be-
jng fought by the grand duke's ad-
vancing troops.
Probably the Ottomans have grown
careless and have permitted discipline
to deteriorate during tne long montn
0f inactivity after their occupation of
the Persian territory. Doubtless, too,
the demand for ammunition on the
Gallipoli peninsula and in Thrace ha
Jhe Grand Duke Nicholas under
ushed an expeditionary corps to with-
:n forty-five miles of Teheran without
meeting serious resistance.
If the Turkish troops continue mef-
fective and if Teheran falls to the new
I viceroy of the Caucasus, the grand
will have largely wiped out the

The victory will be a very important

afternoon to play the local team, came

a real hot football game. The visitors

ready to "clean house" with them. The
