CHANDLER TALKS ON BALLOON
Arwiy Rsert Delivers I. ret are
ftlgaat Corps Mea at Fort
Omaha,
ta
Captain Charles De F. Chandler of tha
T'nlled States signal corps lectured Wednes
day night at Fort Omaha to the members
of the signal corps stationed there on the
subject of "Free and Captive Balloons."
and Thursday night will lecture at the
same place on "Dlrigiblo Balloons."
"Even though the captive balloon had not
been of real value In modern waVfare
which it has it has had a moral effect
which lias more than paid for the cost,"
said Captain Chandler. "The government
is spending considerable money on free
balloons and the principle value to date
has been to teach the men how to handle
the captive balloons In case of their re
lease." Captain Chandler ts a most daring aero
naut and was In charge of the United
Btates balloon America, which finished
fifth In the great International balloon
race which started from St. Louis last
fall. The first part of his lecture con
sisted of a paper on the technical problems
of ballooning, with stereooticon views. He
showed the construction of the various
parts of the balloon, the different Instru
ments carried and the different means of
preparing gas both from stationary plants
and In the field. After finishing his tech
nical paper on ballooning. Captain Chand
ler presented pictures of the International
balloon race, showing the arrangements
for filling the Valloons at Forest park, St.
Louis, the balloons In different states of
Inflation, and the balloons as they were
starting on their race across the continent.
A map was thrown on the screen showing
the routes of the various balloons In the
race, and Captain Chandler showed why
the courses of the different balloons had
varied. He told of being able to see two of
tho other balloons most of tha second day,
whilo crossing the state of Indiana, as
they were but a few miles to the south of
them. .
Captain Chandler said that until dirigible
balloons were' perfected, captive balloons
would be used by the'army. He said they
were of especial valu for a beselged city,
as they could be used for communication
with the outside world. European armies,
which are skilled In the use of balloons,
can have a rapitva balloon 1,000 feet m the
air In from fifteen to thirty minutes from
the time the machinery la on the field.
The angle of vision Is about twelve and
one-half miles from a captive balloon.
The ways of preparation and the value of
the different kinds of gas were discussed
by Captain Chandler, who said that the
hydrogen gas plant which would be In
stalled at Fort Omaha this summer would
make gas at a cost of about tt per 1,000
cubic feet.
The next International race will be held
In Germany under the supervision of the
kaiser some time In September.
SMALLPOX IN A HOSPITAL
Disease Ja Mild Form Plada Its Way
lato tha C'oaaty In
firmary. Smallpox broke out Wednesday afternoon
at the county hospital and as a result one
patient has been sent to the emergency
hospital and two others are quarantined
on the third floor of the building In charge
of a special nurse.
Clifford Walker, who was received at
the hospital about a week ago, was the
first victim. When he entered the hospital
It was suspected he had the disease and
he was Isolated from the other patients.
As soon as the disease developed he was
sent to the pest house. The other patients
are women. Mrs. 8uaan Bogle, who is In
firm with age. and Mrs. Anna Hulsman,
who hae a babe less than a week old. It
was feared If they were removed to the
emergency hospital the shock would be
fatal, so they were Isolated on the third
floor under quarantine with a special
nurse. Both women have been In the hos
pital several weeks and It is not known
where they were exposed. Mrs. Bogle
came uptown frequently and It is supposed
she contracted the disease while on one of
these trips.
Both the patients are doing well and the
hospital has been thoroughly fumigated,
so It is not believed the disease will spread
among the other patients.
NELSON IS' JSTILL MISSING
search at rat-OS Lake Coatlnaea aad
Theory of Foal Flay Is
Snsjaested.
Men continued Thursday the work of
trying to recover from- Cot Off. lake the
body of Carl N. Nelson, the East Omaha
milkman who disappeared Monday night
and who Is supposed to have fallen through
an airhole while walking across rfie ice
The last seen of Nelson was when h left
the saloon of Joe Sauers about midnight
Monday. He waa accompanied by Yocum
I -arson, a Courtland Beach saloon keeper.
They walked across the lake, and when
they arrived ,at the other side Larson is
said to have fallen asleep. Then, it is
said. Nelson walked back across Ihe lie
to get his team, which he had left on the
other side.
Nelson had about I.V0 cash on his person.
While the general opinion is that he fell
through th ice. there are those who put
some credence on the theory of foul play.
The police have not been called upon the
case. If the money la missing when the
body la found arrests will follow.
Two of Nelson's brothers from Washing
ton county arrived in Omalia Thursday
and will assist la Ihe search for th body.
Neither of them could explain Nelson' ab
sence except on th theory h had drowned
or frozen to death. Tbey called on Sheriff
Bralley and he assigned Deputy Sheriff
Stea-art ta continue the search.
COLORED GEE GEE STILL 0. R.
Sorghum. Burnt So. gar or Caramel
May Co Into Whisky.
SO RULES THE SUPREME COURT
Fear af l.iajaar Dealers that Only
White Goods Conld Be "old la
the Pare Food Law Is
Dispelled.
Whisky will not be white and three-star
may still retain Its delicate hues and re
semble ginger ale or New Tork apple Jack,
regardless of the pure food and drug laws,
according to a ruling of the United States
supreme court, which has Just been made
known to Omaha dealers by the A. Oraf
Distilling company.
When the pure food laws were enacted,
the saloon keepers saw nothing but white
goods going acrosa the mahogany tops and
trouble to distinguish "Kentavk" from the
coffin bottle gin or Kansas City-made ry
from Missouri river water, - served with
each Jerk of whiskey.
But It Is legal to put sorghum molasses,
burnt sugar or caramel In the whisky, ac
cording to the supreme court, and the cus
tomers may continue to gratify two noble
senses the sight and taste when they
take their toddy and cold cures.
The caramel or burnt sugar may be
placed In the whisky after government
Inspection and yet not be subject to for
feiture to the federal authorities.
Tha suit Just decided Involved
the selxure In Missouri of three barrels of
whisky belonging to a distilling company
on the complaint of a United States dis
trict attorney under the law which pro
hibits "things else" than the original old
article In a package after It haa been
marked by the Inspector. But the supreme
court has held that "things else" refers to
taxable articles, end molasses, burt sugar
and caramel are not taxable articles.
This decision opens a wide field of pos
sibilities to the "whisky makers," and
most anything can be placed in the pack
ages, besides the spirits. Just what
whisky will taste like In a number of
years, according to the ruling, ts a matter
of conjecture to saloon men, but they be
lieve it will be more and more like cough
medicine, and Dr. Bitxer's Compound of
Wild Goose and Tar Berrles. which they
allege, closely resembles some of the
whisky sold over American bars.

tain allegations' recently made:
Whereas, An afternoon Omaha' daily. In
Its Issues of January ti and 22, tor some
unexplainable cause attempts to discredit
the motives of the Good Government league
of South Omaha In seeking to better local
governme.it in our city. Therefore be it
Resolved, That this meeting voices its
sentiments that the question of the annex
ation of South Omaha to Omaha haa been
voted on and decided by decisive vote,
and that we consider the annexation ques

has no connection In any manner, shspe
nor form with any other object than that
of Improving civic administration In South

possible city in which to live and transact
business. Be It further

this league or those identified with it. they
get reliable Information from someone In
authority to furnish the same. Be it
further

tions be furnished the three Omaha dailies
and the South Omaha press.
A resolution asking that a committee be
appointed to Investigate all the public acta
of the present administration with a view
to informing the people of their exact
nature and result, was laid on the table
for one week.- It is the sentiment of the
body that there Is time enough after all the
nominations are in to make any necessary
investigations. The league adjourned to
meet one week from )sst night.

lake. The lateness of the harvesting season
Insures great activity, once the work Khali

county In which the penitentiary ts sit
uated, and shall summon a Jury of twelve
Impartial elector to Inquire Into such In
sanity at a time and place to be fixed by
the Judge.
If Ihe convict Is found Insane, the Judge
suspends the execution until the governor
shall Issue Ms warrant directing such ex
ecution, and the governor may do this
when convinced that the convict has again
become of sound mind.
The man whose sanity was being Inquired
iMo was one Frank Barker. He had been
tried and convicted at Red Cloud of the
murder of his brother and been brought "to
the penitentiary for safe keeping, and,ex
ecutlon. as provided by an amendment to
the code. Witnesses who saw him daily
In tha broom hop of the penitentiary,
where he worked more than three year,
said he wa foolish In his talk and con
duct and they believed him Insane, i The
chaplain of the penitentiary, the cell house
keeper and others testified In the same
way. Upon a showing that this evidence
would be produced. Judge Holmes of
caster county ordered the hearing, over
which, however, another district Judg,
Judge Frost, presided, and after the evi
dence was all In Instructed the jury In
effect that it need pay no attention to
the testimony of the witnesses, but should
determine, from seeing the applicant and
listening to hi testimony whether he was
sane.
A the jury taw Barker, who was brought
before It, and heard him testify, It was
the contention of Barker's counsel that this
Instruction forbade consideration of the
evidence ol the witnesses.
Because of these Instructions, as three of
the Jurors, Oberlies, Clark, and Rogers,
later wrote the governor, the Jury found
Barker to bo sane, although it believed
that jk as mentally deranged. A Barker
was found to be sane, and the date of his
execution was fixed by the judge, we as
counsel for Barker, filed a petition in error
In the supreme court.
It waa contended that there is no de
finition of Insanity In the Nebraska crim
inal code; that there are no common law
crime In Nebraska. (Section 251 of the
Criminal Code, State vs. DeWolf, 87, Neb
raska S.'2.) That to adopt the restricted
definition used by the presiding judge
woulf subject a large class to punishment,
being those of infirm Intellect; that in sec
tion 261 of the criminal code, the legislature
provided that: "This code and every law
upon the subject of crime which may be
enacted shall be construed according to the
'plain. Import' of the language In which
It is written."
The petition In error was denied, the su
preme court stating no specific ground of
denial.
This case would seem to suggest that the
section referred to are wholly, insufficient
to protect an insane person from execution.
We think there should be amendments to
the criminal code touching this subject, as
follows:
That the judge who makes the order for
the hearing shall preside, unless sick or
unavoidably absent: that challenges of the
Jury for cause and peremptory challenge,
should be allowed as In criminal cases:
that where there is evidence upon the part
of the applicant tending to show insauiiv.
the Jury shall be instructed to find by the
evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that
the applicant is Bane before any order for
his execution shall be made; that errors
of the Judge in giving or refusing Instruc
tions to the Jury, and in admitting or ex
cluding evidence, shall be reviewable In the
supreme court as are errors In other rases,
and that such errors shall he sufficient
grounds for setting, aside the Judgment of
the presiding JudKe: that Insanity shall ba
defined in tne criminal cone, ana that no
perfcon of unsound mind shall be banned.

SCARED BOY DROPS WHEEL
rrrallar Mliap Oeenra aa Resalt of
the 8 opposed Theft of a
Bicycle.
C. J. Carlson, who conducts a shoe store
on North Twenty-fourth street, became th
possessor of n bicycle for a few moments
Wednesday night in a rather peculiar man
ner. Carlson's son had ridden a bicycle to
a store at Twentieth and Ohio, and leav
ing the wheel outside he went in to buy
oite merchandise. When he came out of
the store he discovered that his wheel had
disappeared, and he immediately telephoned
his father, who was atlll at the slioe store.
Upon locking up his store a few minutes
later and starting for .home Carlson the
elder saw another boy riding a bicycle
which corresponded to the one owned by
his son. Carlson called for the boy to
stop, but upon giving a frightened glance
around the latter pedaled all the faster,
and was then pursued by the elder Carlson,
who was now thoroughly convinced that he
had bagged the thief. After an exciting
chase of several Lhxk. during which
Carlson exhibited the advantage of a veg
etable diet by gaining, on the boy on the
bicycle, the latter abandoned his wheel
and disappeared down a dark alley.
With a victorious flush on his counte
nance Carlson pounced upon the wheel and
pulled it out under an electric light, when,
to his chagrin, be discovered that It was
not the bicycle owned by his son. Carlson
turned the bicycle over to the officer on
the, beat and started home with gradually
stiffening muscles. Upon his arrival home
Carlson discovered that Ills son was in bed
and the lost wheel had been recovered. It
having been returned to .the front of the
store from which It had been taken by two
other buys. v. ho had hidden It for a prank.
The authorities still have the bicycle de
serted by the bov to whom Carlson gave
chase.

'Chief of Detectives Savage was tired, of
the delay of the authorities In Minne

Gillotti signed the name, Dominic Ar

said Mancuso to a reporter for Tho lice,

Arbanesi. x
Yes, Arbanesi was in Omaha for about
four months with Kary Faola. the girl
whom they say he kidnaped. But she Is
not a little girl. She is a married woman.
And here lies a little what you call ro

sweethearts. But the girl's mother did not
like Arbane!. The girl moved with her
parents to America. In Minneapolis her
mother forced her to marry another man.
Then after a while ArbaneBl followed his

They renewed secretly their love and then
they eloped together. They were In Omaha
four months. They left Omaha last Mon
