The annual Thanks giving banquet of the American society at the Hotel Cecil tonight was marked by the presentation to Ambassador Choute of a portrait of himself painted by Herbert Herkimer and paid for by subscriptions by members of the society. An unusual note for such' a gathering was Introduced by Sir Edward Clarke, who, proposing Mr. Choate's health, sarcastically said the term "American ambassador" Implied domina tion over the whole of the western hemis phere, which the United States does not posses and' Is not entitled to,, as Great Britain Is territorially a larger power on the 'American continent than the United Btates. Sir Edward suggested that a more suitable title would be "Usona," signifying United States of North Amerloa. .' Having In the first criticism here of the ' State department's orders that embassies hereafter shall be called American, thus uttered a "respectful protest" against the assumption of the larger name, Sir Ed ward Clarke proceeded to refer to the mis erable underpayment of American Judges and America's waste of energies In provid ing for survivors of the civil war and In building ironclads' which she could never use. . ' Ambassador Choate. replying, said -that Americans were quite satisfied with their name, and then referred to the recent clec. tlon In the United States as a splendid tribute of devotion to a great man. Having remarked upon the regeneration of public, life regardless of party, now In progress, Mr. Choate alluded to the ever-growing friendship between Great Britain and America as reason for thanksgiving and added: "I asked Lord Lansdowne if lie was ready to negotiate a treaty of arbi tration. 'Why,' said Lord Lansdowne, 'It goea without saying.' " Continuing, Mr. Choate maintained that many things go without saying, but that above all they should avoid all oauses of offense and settle all differences by peace ful means. He paid a high tribute to the archbishop of Canterbury's "rediscovery of Amerlua" and dilated upon the value of visits to America by such men as the archbishop and John Morley. The archbishop of Canterbury, proposing President Roosevelt's health, expressed his sincere thank for the great hospitality with which he was received In America? He said America faced problems - greater than the world bad ever eeen, but by a stroke of genius had found the man to conquer the difficulties. "We on this side," said the archbishop, "not less than broth : eey to you across the Atlantic, thank God j Jd take courage because the destinies of America are Safe ly Roosevelt's hands."

Lnst June he had proceeded to township II, south range T, east, on written Instruct'ons to examine Into conditions there. Four men ccompsnted him. They went over the territory In question and found an Inac cessible forest. His Instructions were to examine a list of twenty-two claims as to Improvements and re'ldenc.

DELVING AWAY WITH NOTHING TO WORK ON Doth Possible and Seemingly Impas sible Theories Ran Down with Identical Reealts, hat Efforts Being; Kept I'n. Hypothetical questions framed by clever lawyer to pusxle learned doctors and to confuse Intelligent Juries re about the only thing In that line comparable to the ques tion that Chief Donahaue, Captain Dunn and their men have been framing, analys ing and trying to answer to their own satisfaction since the explosion of the bomb at the Thomas home last Tuesday morning. Difficult problem In mathematics would be comparatively easy if brought Into competition with the problem the police department ha offered It for eolu ! tlon In this case. That they fervently de sire to solve It eems beyond question. That they will be able to do so Is not at all Icei tain, and the police themselves are the first to admit the doubt. A negro arrested a short time ago pro tested Me Innocence of any crime and said to the desk sergeant, with great earnest- I ness, "Dese here fnlkses Is tryln' dere bes' I to prove a alibi on me." In this case the . police are not trying to prove an alibi for i or on any one, but after making a great ' many men of Idle habit prove an alibi for last Monday night they sre still wandering In the realms of seemingly Idle deduction. Some Possibilities. The bomb maker and the bomb thrower. If there were two parties to the deed, are still safe and free. Who made the Infernal ma chine is not known, or even suspected, un less the police are playing the ostrich act and also prevaricating without compuno tlon. Whether a different man than the maker placed th bomb and applied the match to it is likewise unknown. It may have been a white man or a black man, a cold-blooded leader of the power that prey, or a man whose drug-bofuddled brain ha carried him entirely beyond the pale of decent society. In the latter case discovery will not be nearly so easy a It would be If the first supposition were the true one. Cleverness is never so clever but that It slop over, to use a terse expression. In sanity or degeneracy oftener than not is accompanied by a cunning that la remark able, because taking such Improbable turns. Lunatics, whether of destructive or secre tive mood, rarely or never have confidants, or If they do the confidence so given la false and misleading. Even If apparently stumped for the mo ment by the necessity for weighing these and other surmises and presumptions, that fact is- not causing the detectives to sit down and wait for inspiration. Because startling announcement are not made with every passing hour as to clews, wholly al leged or half real, it must not be supposed that the officers have tired of their task or abandoned the hunt. For the present It is being pursued with avidity, although per force with no definite objective point. Eyen If the search shall prove altogether barren of Immediate result It will not be aide tracked for good and all so long as the present heads of the police department re main connected with It. Little things are not slighted, and perhaps in no recent case In police annals have so many hours been ungrudgingly given to tracing to their end hints and suggestion thst In other caaes would not have had the slightest attention. Summed up, the report of the chiefs of police and detectives to the public this morning Is: "We have nothing that would warrant us In saying we are on the right track, or on any track. Our task is a difficult one, but we are pursuing It per sistently. Hoping for an outcome that will satisfy all the demands of Justice, we are still not able to forecast what the final re sult of our efforts will be. We shall do our best, and when we have said that we have said all that we can say at this time. When we get any light the publio will not be kept In the dark." . Minister Take Action. At a meeting on Wednesday the Omaha Ministerial union appointed a committee to draft resolutions, and following Is the. result of the committee's labors: The Omaha Ministerial union Joins with all right-minded citizens In expressing Its abhorence of the cold-blooded attempt to take the lives of Mr. E. E. Thomas and family, an attempt not the less heinous because It fell short of its aim. We declare our conviction that this as ault la only the natural outcome of the long era of lawlessness through which Omaha has been pasa'ng. They that sow the wind must reap the whirlwind. We express to Mr. Thomas our sympathy In the - peril through which he and his household have passed and assure him of our confidence that he and the Civic Fed eration, whose battles he has been fight ing, may count on the hearty support of the order-loving cltlsena of Omaha.

BENDER AND ROTHGEB BOTH SPECTACULAR Both Finish Foot Ball Career In Blase of Glory, While Teammates Also Put Ip a Fleree Article of the Game. LINCOLN, Nov. it (Special TelegTam.) Nebraska university trailed In the dust the colors of Illinois on the gridiron today, the Cornhuskers winning a whirlwind vic tory by a score of 16 to 10, thus establish ing the claim of equality of foot ball in I the Missouri valley with that In the "Big Mm" of the middle west It was the fiercest and most gruelling struggle ever witnessed on Nebraska field, and the big gest crowd, the latter numbering 8.000 en thusiasts, had assembled to see tt. The two team were almost equally matched asto weight, the Illinois having only a slight advantage, and the tide of battle surged to and fro, with the Issue In doubt until the final whistle sounded the ces sation of play. Illinois honestly outplayed the Cornhufckers In the first half, but Booth's pupils as honestly outgeneraled and outlasted the Illinois In the closing half, and fairly earned the victory. From the view point of the spectator, a more ' startling foot ball game was never wit nessed on Nebraska field. The struggle abounded In terrific line smashing, fierce tackling and speedy sprints around the ends, with the honors practically even be tween th'e two elevens. Rothgeb, right end on the Illinois aggTegat, and Bender, Nebraska's whirlwind quarter back, how ever, were easily the center figures, ths work of this pair being thrilling In the ei treme. The period of service permitted In collegiate foot ball terminated with both of these men In today's game and each ended his career In a - blase of glory. Bender and Rothaeb Spectacular. Rothgeb as a ground gainer proved a veritable demon. H charged the Ne braska line with the powei of a catapult or started the end with the speed of a deer. Yath the Illinois hard pressed for ground Rothgeb was their chief reliance and most of the credit for the long march Inaugu rated by the Illinois, which netted their second touchdown, belongs to Rothgeb, whose reckless charges overcame Ne braska's best efforts to stay. ' . But Bender' performances were still more thrilling than those of Rothgeb. W.lth the tide of battle running against theCoru husker, the Illinois having scored the first touchdown. Bender broke Into the lime light with the longest run of the gome. Taking the ball on Nebraska's thirty-yard line he darted around Roth,eb, dodged or hurdled every tackier who disputed his progress, and ran eighty yards for the Cornhuskers' Initial score. Benedict kicked the goal, and, by virtue of Moynihan's previous missed goal, gave Nebraska a lead In which they were not thereafter headed. Bender was also largely responsible for Nebraska's third and winning touchdown. A fake buck at the center of the line tricked the Illinois tram and Bender was away like a shot around right end. Sixty yards he ran before being brought to earth and when downed the. ball was only ten yards distant from the Illinois goal. Four line smashes and a Cornhusker had plunged out of the last chalk line for the touch down that demonstrated Nebraska' su periority. ' Illlnol Score First. Illinois was first to score, but the battle had been waged so fiercely and deter minedly by both teams that twenty-six minutes had elapsed before the Illinois had accomplished their aim. The visitors exhibited a powerful attack and fought their way to within the shadow of Ne braska's goal, posts, and as many times surrendered the ball on downs. Standing behind his own goal, after the Cornhuskers had resisted successfully and captured the ball, Captain Benedict essayed to punt. The pasa for the center was faulty, the ball coming to him on a bound, and be fore he could kick, Fa,irweather had broken through the line and blocked the punt. Lonergan, one of the Illinois halfbacks, dived headlong for the ball and clutched It for the touchdown. Moynlhan missed the effort to kick goal.v ' The Cornhusker evened the score al most after the kick-off, when Bender sped around Rothgeb and raced eighty yards for a touchdown on a quarterback run. He was downed In the corner of the field and behind -the line, but Benedict kicked out and C. Mason heeled a fair catcb, from which Benedict kicked the goal and gave the Cornhuskers the lead. The half ended without either eleven again being able to get within hailing dis tance of the opposing goal. Nebraska Grow Stronger, Nebraska's attack was more fierce In the second half than that of Illinois had been In the first half. Taking the ball in the center of the field, the Cornhuskers fought their way steadily toward the gcal of tha Illinois, their offense being a variation of tackle masses, centei bucks and sprints around the ends and their advance never halting until Eager, the midget of the Ne braska eleven, was hurled through the line for the second touchdown. Illinois, however, .fought back with sur prising, power, the visitors duplicating the previous march credited to Nebraska by taking the ball within their own territory and plunging ahead by a succtsslon of line smashes which ended In Rothgeb re gaining ten yards on the final play and over the Cornhusker goal line. Moynlhan again missed his kick st goal and Ne braska retained the lead by the narrow margin of one point Bender's Great Sprint. But Bender' craft and speed still had not counted to their full value in the Cornhuskers' favor. With the ball in Ne braska' possession and on their forty yard line, Bender signalled for a fake buck at th center of the Illinois line. The visitors massed their players to resist the onslaught, but Bender in a twinkling shot around their left wing and wa off like a bullet for th Illlnol goal. Sixty yards he sprinted before the Illinois backs hemmed him In on the side lines and brought htm down. The goal line was only ten yards distant and the final touchdown was reeled off by Booth's pupils by a smushlng attack through the line which Illinois could not withstand. js'ot dismayed by the margin against them, the Illinl displayed a determination that threatened disastrous results to the Cornhuskers even to the last. Two quarter, back runs netted Illinois thirty-five yards and tha danger of another touchdown for the visitors loomed up ahead of Booth's proteges, but Rothgeb fumbled the ball after ten-yard charge, and Johnson, Ne braska's negro left end, saved the day for the Cornhuskers by safely clutching the coveted oval. Nebraska Immediately kicked psst the center of the field and the linesman's whistle soon sounded the ! (Continued on Seventh Pag.) NEBRASKA WEATHER FORECAST Fair Friday) Colder la Southern Por tion.
