"My men know where Detwiler la." said Burns, "and are prepared to produce him aa soon as the prosecution Is ready to at tend to his case. That will not be for a week or ten days, I think.

A somewhat sensational Incident In con nection with this former home of Schmitt's came to light today through an announce ment by Burns that while minutely ex amining the premises for possible loop holes of escape, he found, by turning back the carpet In the chamber once occupied by the mayor as his bedroom, a secret plush lined chest, fitted securely with a lock. The roof of the recess was a section of ths floor and upon prying this up the plush lined box was disclosed, set in between two sills of the floor. "It was about ZH by t feet and nearly one foot deep," said Bums, "and probably was used to conceal valuable or papers of a secret nature. It was empty." Tho grand Jury adjourned until Baturday afternoon. BANKING COMPANY ASSIGNS House Founded by Austin Corbln, I'pable to Sleet Demands, Closes Doors. NEW TORK.

"Autrey has arrived, Autrey has ar rived!" Omaha slept In peace last night, but It was peace purchased at a dear price the price of long, patient waiting and of lung power seldom ever expended In a city of equal slxe. "Autrey has arrived." On every lip, In every ear was that sen tentious proclamation fraught with such tremendous significance. . Mayor Jim's dog musxls edict wasn't a circumstance. The town rung and reverberated. "Autrey has arrived," shouted the . leather-lunged newsboy. "Autrey has arrived," yelled the office boy; . "Autrey has ar rived," exclaimed the man of affairs and the demure miss gently passed It on, kept up until It sounded like one vast choir chanting some sacred line "Autrey has arrived." But the solemnity and the sonorousness of the occasion was broken In a Farnam street car when a rotund form rolled into ths pack of excited passengers worming and squirming for a place to set a foot on the way home. 1 "Autrey has arrived," blatted out a wide- mouthed fan, reaching his neck half-way along the car to Impart this precious In formation to a friend. The rotund man was standing between them. "Who the h Is Autrey? Is he the president of the United StatesT What's the matter, has this whols d town gone crasyT I've heard nothing for .the last half hour but this confounded yelp about 'Autrey has arrived.' What's It all about? What If he has arrived, who cares? Don't drive a man crasy with your Infernal yelping." Not another word was said about Mr. Autrey In that ear. But down at Pa Rourke's Smoke House In ths evening many words were said. There was Autrey the long-legged fielder who had walked from Mexico City to Omaha In ten days, defied sentinels, crossed dead lines, run the gauntlet of International collectors and the gamut of human experience In order to be here for the first game Saturday. It was one of the events of the year, the arrival of Autrey. The Tennesseean was In good form, showing no effects of his long Journey save a few stone bruises on his feet. He says they will soon dla appear. "I'll be out at the park tomorrow after noon," he said, "and there when the gong lings Saturday, I am In good form and feel like a 2-year-old." .. This makes Fas family nearly com plete. Only War Sanders, Bender and Belden are yet to come. They will be In In a few days. " , 1 Pa Enthused Over His Team. St. Louis Thompson arrived Wednesday and Immediately Jumped into the harness to condition himself for the championship race which Is soon to start at Vinton street park. While he has. had little work this spring, he Is In fine form. Thompson pitched some good ball for the St. Louis Nationals last year, winning a fair propor tion of his games, when it Is considered he had a tall-end team to back him up. ' Buck Franck arrived Tuesday night and when he had had a confab with Pa, who told him to take complete charge of the work of the men, he knew he was to be full captain of the team and that It was up to him to get some work out of tha new men. Going to the park Wednesday morning, Franck took charge of the players and put them through their stunts with a vim which showed the skilled Italian touch of a born leader. He Is a hard worker him self and believes In the men working hard. "Walt till the fans get a good look at that new Infield," aald Pa to a bunch at the Smoke House. "There la nothing to it. They are certainly tha goods. Nsyer has Omaha had three such speedy men for short, second and third as Franckf White and Auatln. Each has a whip that Is a corker and all are faat on their feet. They will cover the territory as it has never been covered before." Pa Is right, for this new trio has Jumped light Into the game and whan the fans see them In action Saturday and Sunday they ill decide the same way for themselves. Without making the task too hard for Austin, the fans will have a chance to compare his work with that of Perrlng, and It Is said by some who have watched For 50 years we have been making Good old in the same old way, at the same old place. It is the same pure whiskey with the 8ame fine distinct flavor it has had each year "Since 1857" tottled lit Bond i A. Cnckethtlmer ft Bros. "Sine 1837" . DUmiars mierga,ra. 4 1 J K 'W .-.ie-'' the practice that Perrlng will soon be for gotten. But It Is not necessary to mini mise the wonderful work of Ferrlng In or der to do Justice to ths new man. It's simply this: If Austin beats Perrlng he beats ons of ths fastest and most promis ing men In the country. And the fans will not complain If he only equals Perrlng. The other flay down In Ht. Louis, BamV'W Mertea and Ulllv Abstain picked a couple of teams and played a game of ball. 1 he line-up shows Hill Schlpke, second bnse and leading off at the hat for the Ahstelne and Frank Genins, second base and leading off for the Mertes. Both rJoliipue ami Oenlns live In 8t. Ixuls and had not yet left home for their Summer's work. Bchlpko, It is supposed, will be with Ies Moines again and it is not known where Frank will go, probably back to Hutchinson. "I seriously doubt the report that George Hsckenschmldt bus decided to come ovtr tne waters and meet Frank Ooteh," says Jimmy Parr, the Kngllsh champion wrestler, who meets Farmer Burns at the Auditorium Friday night. "I have not Been U"tch for a couple of months and cannot, therefore, speak authoritatively, but It Is my Im pression the report is unfounded. I do not believe Hack Is confident enough of him self to be willing to go against tJotch Just now. Sometime ago he was quoted as Buy ing he had not learned enough about the toe hold to meet Gotch and he could not have learned a groat deal since. "Speaking of that toe or foot hold, I think that Is the greatest of all holds." "Yes," put In Cy Perkins, "if a fellow gets the foot and a hammerlock on you, you might as well quit." "A perfect foot hold is fatal without the hammerlock." said Parr. Parr thinks a good deal of Oscar Wasem es a candidate for the top-notch wrestling ring. "He's a mighty clever fellow, I think," says Parr. "He Is young, strong, active and resourceful and is bound to come." Asked his opinion of Prof. Dwyer, the White House trainer whom Fred Beel re cently threw at Denver,' he said: "He's a good, man; Just about such a man as Wasem at present. He and Wasem ought to make a swift match." Wasem s victory over big Duncan Mc Millan at Lincoln strengthens faith In the St. Louis boy. Parr la putting In good licks for his match Friday night. He Is working out with various ones at Morgan's. Thursday even ing Pete Loch went on the mat with hlra and stayed seven minutes..' "He's as swift as a cyclone," said Pete. Farmer Burns Is expected In today. He was looked for yesterday. Interest Is at the white heat point over the contest. Some people say base ball Is not profit able and that a ball player never saves a cent. Consider these facts below and then consider they could be enlarged on to a vast extent: Frank Chance, a professional for only about nine seasons, owns 110,000 of stock In the Chicago Nationals, practically will con trol ths Los Angeles team this year, owns real estate In Chicago and at his home, Fresno, Cal., and Is Just now 30 years of age. Roger Connor has houses and lots In Waterbury that put- him In the $100,000 class without the feast doubt. John M. Ward has recently purchased a fine home on Long Island, has a trout pre serve and other convenlenceB that only a fortune of $76,000 can allow of. Mr. Ward also has an extensive law practice that brings him In a lucrative Income. John J. McGraw has a fortune of at least $100,000. McGraw makes a success at any thing he undertakes. Dan Brouthers, although he has left Wapplnger Falls for ths metropolis, is worth close on to $50,000. Danny Richardson has the biggest dry goods store In the Bouthern tier of coun ties In New York state, and six figures will about name his wealth. Jim White has a livery stable In Buffalo and a farm of 100 acres, and Jim does not have to worry about a hard winter. Jim is worth $54,000 If a cent. Frank Bowerman owns pretty near all of northern Michigan In epots-nd $5,000 about figures his bank roll. Chesbro has several farms In the Berk shires, and Griffith owns a Montana ranch. Their wealth cannot be far away from the $50,000 mark for each. And as for Willie Keeler, ne Is the capi talist of the eastern district. Wee Willie Is worth $100,000 If be Is worth a cent. Hanlon Is another old player who can reach the six-figure combination when he cuts coupons. joe Kelley is another lucky ball player. but Joe "filled In" tight in having a rich father-ln'-law. Jim McOulre owns about all of Albion, Mich., besides flour mills. . hotels and dogs galore. Jim is worth $50,000. l ap Anson is city clerk or rjnieago, ana Ansa can dig up $25,000 without any trouble. rvsnoieon jajoie annum not ie obliged to eat snowballs, and Tuck Turner, although not long In the business, together with John Anderson, Has yet to apend tha nrst dollar he has made In base ball. John Tenney Is president of a bank In Pennsylvania, grand treasurer of the Be nevolent Protective Order of Kike. Its next exalted ruler and a man of affairs. Charley Comlskey can write out a check for $100,000. and Charley Jones can sign his for $50,000 If one la not looking. There are plenty of tha younger genera tion of players who have bank accounts, brick houses and such, and with a few more years wtll doubtless' be able to show up some of the millionaire old-timers.

AMES BAS BALL. S4VAO BISY Team Mar Be Picked Next Week for State College. AMES, Ial. March 2.i-(Bpeclal.) Base ball work at the Iowa State college la progreaalng very finely this favorable weather, and If tha boya all remain at the college and train during the oomlng Ave days vacation as they now intend to they will be In the best of trim for the games that are coming In a short time after the vacation closes. The team has not yet been picked, but will be selected the nrst or second day after the Baater vacation, a fact which tends to Induce all of the men to stay at the college and train consistently during this short re cess. It is said that Coach Williams will have ths men doing steady work twice a day and have them all lined up fur their varloua positions by tho time the vaca tion ends. In case this plan la followed there will be little chance for the fel lows that do not remain and train to get a position on the team, and ao It Is thought that all will report for duty dally. Coach Williams called a meeting the other night and stated during a talk to the fellows that the squad that would begin the games for the college would probably be picked April 1. The usual talk of probable candidates Is being put up, but as yet nothing definite can he aald. In selecting a pitcher there are about seven men to choose from and few would he willing to risk a guess aa to who will be the lucky men. About fifty men are out all told and the positions will all be decided after very sharp rivalry. A fact that glvea the base ball enthua). asts about Ames very great confidence In the ability at the team that la chosen to defend the diamond record of Che school. The first games will be with league teams, both the Marshalltown and Cedar Rapids leaguea having been secured for games. WITH THE) BOWLERS.

ST. PAUL, Maroh 18. The state supreme court upheld the Great Northern railroad In Its contention that It had the right to Issue the 160,000,000 of stock authorised by the board of directors some months ago and which was enjoined by Attorney Gen eral Young, who Claimed that the oora pany should first come before the state railroad and warehouse ' commission and submit to an examination to show the necessity and the purpose of the Issue. This contention of the state was upheld by Judge Hallam la the Ramsay county district court, who ordered an Injunction to Issue. The supreme court today reverses that decision. The opinion of the court waa unanimous. Chief Justice Start delivered the opinion of the oourt, the syllabus of which Is as follows: The terms and conditions upon which cor porations may be created, the powers and capital stock they may have, the purposes for which they may Increase the capital stock and ths conditions and limitations of these are exclusively matters for lt-glala-Uve action, which cannot be delegated. The stats having created railway corpo rations for publlo purposes, the legislature has ths right to enact statutes regulating the lrior.aa. of their capital stock. Such regulations tend to prevent secrecy of operation and accounts by such publlo agencies and the lasu. and sale of fictitious or watered stock, which Is a felony In this state. In the exercise of this right the legisla ture may enact a statute providing gener ally for what purposes and upon what terms, conditions and limitations an In crease of stock may be made and confer upon a commission the duty of supervising any proposed Increase. It may also delegate to the commission the duty of finding the facts In each par ticular case and authorise and require It, If It finds the existence of facta that bring the case within ths statute, to allow the proposed Increase; otherwlee to refuse It. Any statute, however, which attempts to authorise the commission, In its Judgment, to allow an Increase of capital stock for such purposes and on such terms as It may deem advisable or In Its discretion to re fuse it, would be unconstitutional aa an attempt to delegate legislative power i powi a ting rjecuon zee, ri, 8., 1. rel to In crease or capital stock of railway corpo- raiioua, aoea not violate article 1, section I of tha state constitution, or article L section 10 of the constitution of ths United States, which forbid ths enactment of any law Impairing ths obligation of contracts.
