CAPTA1S CLADO 19 TALKATIVE
Hnsslaa Officer Creatri Esoltemeat by
Remarks at Paris.
PARIS, Pec. 21. Captain tin do, who was
detached from Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's
squadron to testify for the International
cn mm Iks inn, made statements during his
Journey to Paris that are exciting consid
erable stir in official and diplomatic cir
cles as Indicating a rather defiant and bel
ligerent tone on the eve of the assembling
of the commission. Some of Clado's state
ments were strongly antagonistic to Great
Britain, he declaring that the British agi
tation over the North sea Incident leading
up to the appointment of the International
commission waa a plan to delay the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron from reliev
ing Port Arthur. He also asserted that
another campaign which has for its object
the passage of the Dardanelles by the Rus
sian Black sea fleet will be launched at an
opportune time. In the meantime, he ad
ded, men and equipment from the Black
sea fleet will be sent to aid the Second Pa
clflo squadron. It waa pointed out at the
British embassy that Clado Is not a mem
ber of the commission and therefore no
official cognizance would be taken of his
statements. .
Xo Attempt to Bribe Witnesses,

' Feara I'prlslnar of Chinese.
ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 21.-The Novoe
Vremya today published a sensational story
purporting to give inside, detail of the
"Algoboy society," organised among the
Chinese by Chinamen educated in Japan,
which Is engaged In stirring up the popula
tion against the Mupchu dynasty, the latter
being represented as responsible for -tho
humiliating positlou of the empire. The so
ciety is preaching the annihilation of the
foreigners who havo gained a foothold in
fourteen provinces, 1 contending that this
could be brought about by an alliance with
their- kindred, the Japanese, who have
shown disinterested friendship for the Chi
nese. The Novoe Vremya argues editorially that
this Is the evidence that the Japanese are
preferring to play the desperate chance of
arousing China and warns the world of the

DECISION IN THE ROBB CASE
Jadaje Troop Graats Woman Limited
Divorce and Caatody of
Her Childrea.
Judge Troup handed down his decision
In the Robb divorce case yesterday,
granting a limited divorce with separate
maintenance to Clara Robb, wife of the
defendant, James W. Robb, manager of
the foreign department for the Cudahy
Packing company of South Omaha. The
custody of the three small children are
vested in Mrs. Robb and reservations wilt
be made In the decree permitting the man
and wife to reunite and resume conjugal
relations If they decide to do so and the
court Is satisfied, or to cause the decree
to become absoluta after a time If the
parties cannot live together.
The case has attracted considerable at
tention owing to the social prominence of
the Robbs.
Under the terms of the decree the Robbs
are still man and wife, except that the
husband la required to support his wife
in a separate establishment and away
from hia "bed and board." In finding for
the plaintiff Judge Troup said the charge
of nonsupport had not been sustained, but
that of extreme cruelty bWd.
The court expressed great reluctance In
granting the decree and ''said he agreed
with authorities in denouncing the "lim
ited divorce." He had called the counsel
and the parties In the suit together for a
conference and had labored to effect a
reconciliation, with the result that he
completely failed to accomplish his object,
which he was anxious to achieve because
of the youthfulness and financial prosperity
of the principals and their children.
The letter couched In endearing terms
and apparently written and signed by an
other woman, which Mrs. Robb found In
her husband's pocket, Judge Troup said,
furnished the crucial point.
"If Robb were entirely Innocent and tho
matter a Joke he should have explained
the whole matter and exonerated himself
instead of first threatening and then plead
ing for the return of the letter," said the
court. "The wife had displayed a lack of
complete faith by retaining a copy of the
note and Robb had showed his concern
for Miss Crowe, the alleged writer of the
note, by threatening to resign If she were
removed from her place in the office."

PATTERSON CASE ARGUED
Judg Will Charge the Jury on Opening

CHAR6ES AGAINST ATTORNEY FOR DEFENSE
Mr. Raad Tells Jary that Miss Patter
eon's Testimony Had Been Type
written and learned by
Heart.
NEW YORK. Dec. il.-Judge Vernon M.
Davis did not deliver his charge to the Jury
In the trial of Nan Patterson, the former
actress, tonight, but sent the Jurymen home
to rest after a day spent in listening to the
arguments of counsel. It had been ex
pected that the cane would go to the Jury
before o'clock, but Judge Davis put his
charge over until tomorrow.
Abraham Levy, chief counsel for the de
fendant, occupied the time of the morning
session with his argument, while Assistant
District Attorney Rand took up the after
noon with his speech.
Both addresses were Impassioned and elo
quent. Mr. Levy swayed his listeners to
tears at times by his references to his client
and the home-coming In Washington which
she anticipated. Placing a Bible on the
railing In front of the Jurors, Mr. Levy
read the eighth chapter of the gospel of St.
John. He laid particular emphasis on the
sentence, "He that is without sin among
you, let him cast the first stone," and then
he said to the Jurors:
Will you say to her who sits before you
here, In the word of Him who spoke at
that time, "Woman, go and sin no more?"
With the happiness of your own home be
fore you. and with the Joy of the Christ
mas festival In anticipation, are you going
to condemn this young woman?
Do not send her to her doom now when
the entire world Is rejoicing. She sits
abandoned by all exceDt that old man. her
aged father. I leave her In your hands, con
fident that you will acquit her and restore
her to her devoted old father at a time
when everything proclaims "Peace on
earth, goodwill to men!" I ask that you
allow him to take her home to the nged
wife and mother who awaits them snd give
her a chance to live a new life with them
In her home.
Mr. Rand's Argrament.
Mr. Rand's argument was a severe at
ralgnment of Mis Patterson, and when the
prosecutor pitilessly condemned the woman
as the murderess of the bookmaker, Caesar
Young, she quailed under his Invective.
Among other things he said:
Actress, stony-hesrted, crurl-mouthed
avenger that she Is, the story she told, the
manner of telling it, ought not to be con
vincing to a child.
Every action proclaims her guilt. I have
never seen a ytl murderer who has not
been dlstlngu'red by coolness, calmness
and unruffled demeanor and conceit. Never
yet was there a murderer who was not
anxious to testify, believing that his story
could prove convlclng to the Jurv.
In detail he held her character to the
Jury and asked If a woman like her was
able to have any love other than that of
the "beas."
"Tho beast In the woman called to the
man and the benst In the man answered,"
he snld.
Charsre Against Attorneys.
Miss Patterson's counsel were not spared
by Mr. Rand, who, after saying that the
defendant's testimony had been typewrit
ten and learned by heart, added:
There are those among her defenders who
are capable of preparing testimony which
they know to be false. I name no names,
and I stand ready to prove what I say If
there la any question raised on that state
ment. J. Morgan Smith and his wife were de
nounced by the lawyer. Moat impressive
was Rand's attempt to show the Jury that
Young could not have shot himself. The
skeleton, which had already appeared dur
ing the trial, was brought forward and
the attorney went over tha details of the
entrance of the bullet and the direction
it took after entering Young's body. Dur
ing this recital Miss Patterson covered her
face with her gloved hands. Mr. Rand
used the revolver with which Young waa
killed to prove that in no position could
It have been held by Young to inflict the
wound that caused his death. Facing the

Speaking of the complaint entered at
New York against Thomas W. Lawson of
"Freniled Fnance" fame, an Omaha man
who Is acquainted with the particulars of
the case, to Some extent, said:
"Judging from his public utterances,
which have been sent broadcast over the
country by the press, Mr. Lawson has
been on edge to have such a suit started
against him. However, he expected that
If a retaliatory move was made it would
be by one or more of the men whose names
he has been using In his campaign against
what he calls 'the system,' and has said
he would welcome such a suit for the op
portunity It would give him to get even.
as he expresses It, with his enemies.
"The man who has filed the complaint
against Lawson la not a Standard Oil offi
cial or employe, so far as the public knows.
nor has he been Identified publicly in any
way with the Amalgamated Copper Inter
ests; his complaint asking for Lawson's
Indictment is based on the allegation that
he is the owner of 1,000 shares of Amal
gamated Copper stock.
"This man's name is Henry Wellington
Wack, and as nearly as his history can
be got at, he is at present a resident of
London, Eng., where for a few years
past he has been connected with some
sort of a mercantile or promotion business.
Before going to England Mr. Wack was a
newspaper reporter in St. Paul, Minn., and
also held some sort of a minor political
office for a time. He Is an exceedingly
handsome young man, with nice taste in
dress and of a rather clever turn of mind.
So far as can be learned, Mr. Wack has
never been heavily, or even actively, In
terested In financial affairs in this country,
and eastern financiers are now pusxllng
their neuds to figure out Mr. Week's
status aa the complainant of record
against Mr. Lawson.
' Wack Has Rogers' Attorney.
"One peculiar feature of the affair Is th.it
Charles M. Beattle, Wack's attorney, hns
long been known as the attorney of H. II.
Rogers, the choBtn foe of Lawson and the
man against whom the Boston fighter has
long been directing his main attack. Mr.
Beattle Insists, however, that neither Mr.
Rogers nor the Standard Oil company Is
at all concerned In the complaint entered
on behalf of Mr. Wack. That the suit la
Intended to punish Lawson severely, If
possible, Is Indicated by the fact that It
is brought under a section of the New
York penal code,-which provides a penalty
of three years' Imprisonment or a fine of
$5,000, or both.
"In this connection many people well
posted In the affairs of Wall street recall
the suit brought against the Northern Se
curities deal by an unknown clerk named
Powers, which involved a long and ex
pensive trial at St. Paul before it was
conclusively shown that the young man
In whose name the suit was entered was
simply the catspaw of a group of men In
New York, who were afterward thoroughly
discredited. Some of these men were quite
prominent and the exposure which fol
lowed created a sensation. Mr. Wack, how
ever, may be able to show that he has
actually suffered loss and damage at the
hands of Lawson and that he is not put
forward as the Instrument of revenge by
the great trust magnates whom Lawson
has been treating to such a fierce game of
retaliation."
CROOK LEAVES MANY VICTIMS
Former Does Business with at Least
Tea Dealers of the
City.
Whoever that festive crook waa who
cashed In a bogus check at Berg-Swan-son's
and Browning, King & Co.'s last
week, making purchases and getting back
neat sums of money, proves to be a past
master at the craft.
Day by day new tricks turned by him
develop and additional victims come to
light. It now transpires that he got Into
the exchequer of the People's Furniture
and Carpet company. Sixteenth and Far
nam streets, for $35, and seven other
places for liberal sums. One of these
seven places was an establishment that
sells suit case, for he got a fine suit case
on a bogus check and money In change.
The cashier at the People's store, after
receiving the approval of a superior, ac
cepted a check from this individual for $26
In payment for an $8 rug, giving him $21
in change. The man grabbed' the $27 In
one "twlpo" as it were, said "Goodday"
and was gone In a minute, so the cashier
says. The first Intimation the People's
store had that it had been duped was
when the check came back, and later it
had another bit of Information handed It
when a man came Into the store with
eight checks which had been passed by
this same skillful crook, all of which were
worthless. This man had mada It his busi
ness to go around and gather In the bogus
goods, evidently.
Forcer, bat No Hog.
One good point has been scored In favor
of this forger: he was no hog; that Is, he
didn't want the money and all the boodle
he had so adriotly harvested. The goods,
most of it, he had sent to some number
on North Seventeenth street, and the
family residing there might have been
able to have set up In business from the
volume and variety of articles sent to
that address. The crook, of course, had
never been at that place, and thus the
goods were never claimed, the family to
whose home they were sent informing the
various places of business and the goods
being returned in due time. So that, with
the exception of Berg-Swanson, where the
man bought a $20 overcoat and got back
$40 on a $C0 check, and one or two other
places selling men's clothing, the defrauded
dealers recovered sil but their cash.
No trace or intimation of the man's
Identity has been received, though the po
lio and detectives have made diligent
search for him. It is generally believed
he got out of town after completing all
this skillful work in a single day.
But the crook was not the only person
who had aa trenuoua day. Tho "lady" of
the house" at the address to which the
forger peremptorily chose to send his plun
der, was kept busy for at least one day
receiving the goods. '
"What In the world does It all mean?"
she remarked, after satisfying herself that
her husband had not been spending the

O'NEILL MAN HAS FIFTEEN THOUSAND
Hagerty Thoaaat to Be Where He t aa
Bo Arrested at Aay Time Blsr sur

Bank Affairs.
PHOENIX. Arts.. Doc. :i. (Special Tele
gramsStartling revelations were mada
here today by Bernard B. McOreevy, the
runaway O'Neill bunker. Captain 11,-yry
McDonald, the arresting officer, learned
from a reliable source that McGreevy had
an engagement to meet Patrick Hagerty,
the missing Elkhorn cashier. In this city
the day of his arrest. He learned also that
a third party, hitherto entirely unsus
pected, Is operating hnnd-ln-hand with Mc
Oreevy and Hagerty from the Nebraska
end of the line. In the face of these facts
McQreevy, who has heretofore maintained
that if there was any money missing It Is
the fault of Hagerty, today admitted that
he was In possession of funds that might
help to extricate him from his share of the
blame. Doing further he actually placed In
McDonald's hands Arizona bank receipts for
12,000 of tho missing loot and told him that
he could at once place his hands on nt
least $15,000 more once they arrived at
O'Neill.
That the bank was $i')5.000 short he em
phatically denies. "I was bookkeeper and I
ought to know," he said. He maintained
that McDonald has seen Hagerty twice.
Sheriff Hall will arrive tomorrow and Mc
Donald will have him Identify Hagerty be
fore the arrest Is made.
McQreevy is willing to turn everything
over to the bank's dupes to escape crim
inal prosecution. Letters from a private
cltlxen of O'Neill, who was a losing deposi
tor In the bank, to McDonald have been the
Inspiration of McDonald's activity.
In the arrest of the third party a big sur

ONE TAXING OFFICE FOR BOTH
Combined Treasury for City and
t'onnty Advocated by the Real
Eatate Exchange.
The Omaha Real Estate exchange wants
the tax collecting offices of the city and
the county consolidated. After a thor
oughly fuvorable discussion at the regulur
meeting a resolution was passed as the
sense of the exchange that as soon as
feasible the office of county treasurer and
of city treasurer be consolidated and the
double assessment of property done away
with.
This resolution was passed for the guid
ance of the committee which has In hand
suggestions for charter revision. The idea
is the office ot tax commissioner was made
a few years ago because at that time the
county assessments were unsatisfactory
and the new office was created as a relief.
The new law, however, governing county
assessment Is satisfactory, so the city as
sessment of real estate is unnecessary,
the exchange holds.
The discussion grew out of some remarks
made by Senator C. L. Saunders.
"I believe the charter revision commit
tee should look Into the matter of doing
away with the city assessment of real
property," he said. The ussesslng Is now
done both by the city and the county, each
covering the same ground. This money Is
wasted. I believe some way could be ar
ranged so the city and the county treas
uries could be consolidated, at least insofar
as regular taxes ure concerned."
D. C. Patterson objected to the plan, for
the reason, if the county made the city
assessment, the county treasurer would
have to be governed in the assessment of
railwuys by the unit system and the city
might lose its right, which it now claims,
to tax the terminal property for Its own

"For years I was troubled with catarrh

paired my sight and hearing. My head
ached IncessHntly. Doctors did me no good
and said I'd soon be both blind and deaf.
My appetite failed and 1 fell away to a
mere shadow. I heard of the wonderful
cures made by TO-NI-TA, and sent for a
sample bottle, which made me feel much
better. 1 continued the treatment, and
after taking three large bottles was com
pletely cured. TO-NI-TA restored my
weight and made my skin soft, clear and
fresh. When feeling tired or nervous, a
dose of TO-NI-TA refreshes me Instantly."
