REVOLTING DISCOVERY MADE
ADoalllnsr ('as of Ineeslooas Rela
tions Inearthed by Omaha Po
lice Department.
Robert Bruton and Mrs. Nellie Day,
brother and sister, are the principals In an
appalling case of Incestuous relations un
earthed yesterday bv the police. . Their
borne, for two years, has been at Forty
second street and Camden nvenue.
,The woman, who wus taken to the city
police station yesterday, with astonishing
candor, related the heinous details of her
life's story to Matron Anderson of the
woman's department of the Jail. She told
that her brother Is the father of her un
born child. She said these relations cov
ered a period of four years. The woman
said she had been married to Day for six
teen years, and when lie loft her at Creston
la., she had no home until her brother of
fered her one, nnd according to the wo
man's word this brother's entrenties finally
overcame her
"The startling thing about the woman's
case," said Matron Anderson, ' Is that she
seems utterly oblivious to the horror of it.
her only anxiety when brought to the Jail
apparently being that her brother-husband
would find no supper ready for him when
he got home from his work in the evening
It seems the woman lived a hard life, nnd
her brother treated her kindly when ho
took her under his shelter "
Bruton was arrested last night, but the
police would not allow him to be inter
viewed. Mrs. Day is a sister of Jim Bruton, who
several years ugo was sent to the peni
tentiary on the charge of grave robbing
and highway robbery. At his trial her..'
it was shown he was the head of a gang
known as the Bruton gang, which for some
time robbed cemoteries and shipped the
bodies to Des Moines. Another sister, Mrs.
Still, lives at Creston, la,, and according
to Mrs. Day she knew of the relations
between Bruton and Mrs. Day, but though
she discountenanced them, was unable tit
do anything, as the only home open . to
Mrs. Day was under tho roof of her brother.
MILLARD PRAISES MICKEY
Senator Denounces Fake Story Circu
lated by Democrats That He Is
pposluer' Goicrrnor.
The Weatliche Presse, -a German news
paper published In Omaha, is preaching
democratic doctrine " Joi its readers. A
recent Issue contained, -ar tirade upon Gov
ernor Mickey in which, the statement was
made that many republicans In Omaha
would withhold thelit(),support from the
head of the republican" state , ticket and,
among' those named ;was Senator Millard.'
When the senator's lfftteYiton was called
to the matter the lattr-f did not hesitate
to say the publication" was unwarranted.
He said:
. "For over thirty years, in 'riiy capacity
as a banker, 1 have Known J. H. Mickey
as a business man and have had ample
opportunity to know him well. I never
knew of a business transaction out of many
In which he was concerned but what he
did strictly as he agreed to do and was
square In every respect.
"My friends know that it 4s my Invariable
rule to stand by my, party; yiat I have
always been an ultra-partisan. In a presi
dential campaign there- Is every reason why
all republicans should vote the ticket
straight. It Is passing strange that the
opponents of Governor' Mickey have no
criticism of his official acts, but must go
back to a time prior to his election to
revamp campaign charges current two
years ago ,
"The statement that I am opposed to
Governor Mickey Is absolutely false. It
ought not to be necessary for me to assert
my intention to vote f6r him. I have done
everything in my power to assist In the
election of the entire state ticket und shall
continue my efforts' Jill the election is
over.
"Governor Mickey's official record is
most excellent. He Is entitled to the sup
port of every friend of good government.
There Is no excuse for the failure of a
single republican I to vote for him. Those
Who know me know how I feel about this.
It Is for those who do not know me that
this statement is made."

AIRSHIP PROVES SUCCESSFUL
Baldwin's Arrow Makes a Trip (her the
St. Lonis Fair Grounds.
SAILS AGAINST EIGHT-MILE BREEZE
Operator Turns the Craft la Kirry
Direction nnd Demonstrates
That It In Completely I n
drr Control.
ST. LOriS. Oct. 31 After circling In
every direction at a height of I.ncO feet
above the Cascades. In sight of thousands
of cheering, enthusiastic spectators on the
World s fair grounds. A. Roy Knabenshue
of Toledo, O., In command of tho Baldwin
airship, today returned to the place from
wnicn ne naa started over the same course i
that he had come, covering the three miles !
and a half of the round trip under Ms own
power and demonstrating the claims of the
inventor. Captain Thomas 8. Baldwin of
San Francisco, that "The California Ar
row" Is not only dirigible, but that It ran
make headway against a moderate breexe.
Knabenshue started from the aeronautic
Concourse at 11:37 p. m. and returned after
his remarkable flight at 4:06 p. m. On the
return trip the airship sailed slowly over
the exact spot from which It had risen
twenty-eight minutes previously and glided
about 100 feet further west, where It set
tled gracefully to the ground.
The descent of the Arrow was the
signal for a demonstration the equal
of which has not been seen since
the World's fair started last April
in response to the pressure on a key
by President Roosevelt, liorens of eager
hands were upstrrtched to grasp the frame
of the airship and the flying machine, with
Its daring navigator, were carried around
tha concourse upon the shoulders of shout
ing men. Hats were thrown In the air
and when Knabenshue called for three
cheers for his home town they were given
with a will and another round followed
for Knabenshue and Baldwin.
Detnlls of the Trip.
The successful flight came as a climax to
a day full of discouragement. Baldwin
and Knabenshue had worked fur twenty
six hours without sleep In order to prepare
for the flight, and the first essay at an
ascent, with Baldwin himself In command
of the airship, had ended disastrously, the
Arrow falling suddenly to the grouni and
breaking one of the blades of the pro
pellor. i
After a hasty examination Baldwin an
nounced that the damage could be repaired
at once and said that Knabenshue would
attempt another flight in half an hour. The
crowd, which was being momentarily aug
mented, cheered the announcement and pa
tiently awaited while the repairs were be
ing made.
At the time Baldwin hnd stated the air
ship was again brought from the aero
drome and hastily groomed for the flight.
At a signal from Knabenshue the airship
was cast loose and the motor started.
The Arrow rose slowly and easily, its
prow directed toward tho west. When at
height of about twenty-five feet Knaben
shue turned the rudder and the aerial
craft, answering to its helm, pointed south
and continued Its flight without interrup
tion
Knabenshue at this time was not high
enough to clear the aeronautic fence and
as he rapidly approached it the crowd held
ts breath, fearing that the craft would be
dashed against the barricade and the aero
naut badly Injured or perhaps killed.
The young man. who clung to the frail
support that affords the navigator of the
California Arrow a precarious foothold, did
not share the anxiety of the spectators.
Waving his cap to assure those who were
following his every move, Knabenshue
moved tow-ard the rear of the airship.
The Arrow pointed its prow upward and,
answering the pull of the propellor, soared
lightly above the fence and rapidly gained
an altitude of about 1,000 feet.
Knabenshue again changed the direction
of the craft and passed over the crowd In
the concourse, who, although hoarse from
cheering, did Its best to encourage the
daring youth in command of the swiftly
moving ship.
The "chug-chug-chug" of the muter could
be plainly heard and the rays of tho sun
glistened upon the silver tinted blades of
he propellor. making a halo around the
prow of the flying machine.
After proceeding about half to three
quarters of a mile westward. Knabenshue
turned the airship about and again passed
over the concourse, at the sam time in
creasing his altitude uneil he was about
2.000 feet above the earth.
Balling firs' to the northeast and then to
the southeast, occasionally making com
plete turns, Knabenshue continued in a

direct line from the p.ilnt of starting.

At about that time, the barely percept
ible breexe that hud !.,. t,,,wln from the
northwest. Increased to about eight miles
and veered to the north. ln older to re
turn to the starting p.ilnt it wis necessary
for Knabenshue to breast this breese. It
could be seen that bin nrt rhort to turn
the airship from a course before the wind
was unsuccessful snd fi-ars were expressed
thst Knabenshue could not complete the
demonstration by reluming to the con
course. He attempted several times to turn to
tho left and then suddenly swurg the rud
der sharply In the other direction and the
Arrow came Into the wind, staggered a
moment, and then, gaining power, came
toward the concourse al a speed that
caused the.spectators to cheer and to throw
their hats Into the nlr.
Without deviation the California Arrow
continued In the teeth of the breexe, gain
ing speed and rushing toward the concourse
In an imposing manner. When within a
few hundred yards of the concourse, Kna
benshue moved forward, the Arrow re.
spomled Immediately to the downward shift
and sailed toward the ground without a
dimln.'shment of speed.
Lnndlna Is Sncreaafol.
Knabenshue entered the concourse from
the east at a height of about 200 feet, and
slowing the speed of his motor, directed ths
airship directly over the wooden tresWes
that had supported the Arrow before the
Might started. His momentum was too
great to admit of stopping exactly In the
place from which ho had made the ascent,
but the airship settled to the ground within
1U0 feet.
After Kiiahenshue had assisted In hous
ing the airship in the aerodrome, he was
tendered an ovation. He was introduced to
President Francis of the exposition, Mayor
Wells of St. l.ouls. and many of the
World's fair nnd city officials. Knaben
shue'! mother and wife, who had arrived
from Toledo today Just in time to witness
the flight, were present and added to the
young aeronaut's happiness by Joining their
praise to that of the distinguished men.
Although he had Just completed the most
remarkable flight In the history of Amer
ican aeronautics, Knabenshue had only
praise for the flying machine he had di
rected. His own share In the achievement
was secondary. In his eyes, to the manner
In which the California Arrow had sup
ported the claims of the lnvntor.
By the successful flight of the Arrow
Captain Baldwin was the first man (o
claim the Jfi.000 prize offe-ed by the expo
sition company to the nirhhlp which makes

schools for the winter term with a greater
premier attendance than hist year. 1)5 stu
dents registering In all. Of this number 110
enrolled at the Comenlus school and ninety

the Comenlus school the majority of at

Including many men and women. At the
Kellom school the average age was younger.
