Lapresto was taken to tne South Omaha hospital Thursday morning where Blan onleri Is still lying In a critical condition from the knife wound In hi lung. Chief Brlggs and an Interpreter were present. The wounded man looked up from hla couch and said: "Yes, he li one of the men. The man who stabbed me had a handkerchief over his mouth." Immediately lapresto spoke out In a threatening tone. Later tho Interpreter told the officers that the prisoner had said: "If I had a knife now I would finish you right here." Chief Brlita- Is Certain. Chief Brlggs said he was positive from his knowledge of men and the evidence that Lapresto was one of the men who had committed the crime. "This fellpw pretends' to be terribly grieved and weeps loudly without shedd'ing a tear. I can see through him. He lay down In the cell and we watched him. He was as contented as a kitten until he sus pected he waa watched. Blanonleri said to me that he was afraid, to tell all he knew about the case. After a long time he told that he was not taken in his sleep. "Three men together entered the bunk car at Thirty-second and H streets on that night and found Blanonleri lying on his bed. One of these was disguised, and he, after threatening words, did the stabbing. "Blanonleri gave me no motive for the aot except that he did not think It was robbery. I did not question him very closely, because he Is a pretty sick man and I did not want to bother him any more than I could help. We are trying to locate the rest of the men of this gang. I think we may succeed." Blanonleri said: "I am afraid to tell you whom I sus pect, though I know pretty well. If I should fall to convict them and ever got over the wound so as to be out at my work, they or their friends would be sure to kill ma." The interpreter also assured the police that It was very dangerous for the old man to tell anything. waa Indicted on the'eharsre of mlani ivina funds of the latter company ami i-mtiet- allnr stock or the Norfolk Savings Bank company.

Curtis of the Aerial Experiment association notified Lieutenant Selfridgc's family In San Francisco. Mr. Wright yes terday replaced the propellers which he him been using with another pair, the blrfik-s ot which are six Inches longer. They were ' used for the first time in today's disastrous ' flight, and many who have witnessed Mr. Wright's flights at Foit Myer believe the change of propellers caused the accident. An examination of the broken blade showed that it had been snapaed off at a point one-fourth of the distance from the hub. A deep indentation of, the broken piece in dicated that it had struck some other part of the aeroplane. Octave Chanute, the father .of feernonautlcs In America, who came to Washington several days ago for the purpose of aeeing Orville Wright's flights, said that if the Wrights hud UBed but one propeller Instead of two the result would have been at least as serious. ! Only this morning Mr. Wright had been asked what the result would be If one of his propellers broke while the machine was In flight: "The other propeller would tend to turn the machine around," he said, "but I would stop the motor and . glide to the earth." Accused Men Released. Hl'HON, S. D., S-'I't. 17. (Special.) No small disappointment was occasioned here Tuesday by the release from custody of three men charged with pocket picking ut the state fair here and who are also be lieved to be implicated in the recent rob beries at Winona. The men are known as Samuel Cohen, Harry Bodgfrs and J. W. Simpson and are known in police circles in Minneapolis. St. Paul, Omaha and other cities. Sheriff Purr of Winona was here with requisition papers for the men, but they were defective, and Judge Boucher, before whom their cases were taken, de cided that the men could not be held iiny longer and therefore ordered their releaaV".

BENSON THORNE CO. uumiDouci M'ISIOSH HAS HIS VIEWS Certain in Opinion of Bustin Slayer, but Will Not Tell. COMES TO AID THE WIDOW County Attorney EnglUh Ut Some Additional Evidence from the nivo Woman at the Jail. J. H. Mcintosh, brothcr-ln-law of Dr. Frederick T. Rustln. who was killed early on the morning of September 2, arrived in Omaha Thursday morning from Paris and New York. Mr. Mcintosh is agency coun sel for the New York Life Insurance com pany and a former Omaha attorney. "I came to Omaha simply to be of what service I can in assisting Mrs. Rustln to adjust Dr. Rustln's affairs," said Mr. Mc intosh. "My mission Is purely personal fxr the purpose of helping members of our family. I wus In Paris when the news of the tragedy was cabled to me and I re turned by the first boat, being delayed somewhat In New York, where I read in copies of The Bee sent me what details I desired to know of the shooting of Dr. Rustln." Asked if he had any opinion to express ra to who shot Dr. Rustin, the attorney replied: "I have opinions, but none which I core to express. The matter Is in the hands of the police, who are working to ferret out every fact and detail. I will do anything I can or anything necessary to nssiBt them, but will not express any opin ion." Mr. Mcintosh went directly to the home of Mrs. Frederick T. Rustin at 4108 Farnam street when he arrived from Ills long jour ney and remained there during most of the day. RnalUh Gets Mare Rice Talk, County Attorney English talked with the Rice woman, who gave the sensational tes timony inmplicutlng Charles E. Davis and telling of the "suicide club." The Rice woman has. given the county attorney ome new and Important facts and some details which fill out her horrible story of murder-suicide plot. The county attorney would say nothing as to the facts which the Rice woman has given him and to which she will testify at the preliminary hearing next Thursday, "If this woman Is 3fi years of age. as she ays she is. It la remarkable tl)e knowl edge of the .world in general which she possesses-'," remark, d Mr. English. "Other girls 30 years of aje seem lllie c:illdrn when compared to her with her worldly knowledge." Mrs. Rice continues to be the centfr of attraction by morbid admirers fri.m the under world and the power thut prey. The police arc not a little annoyed by ap I IHviitioim fix.ni these p.upla to ue Mis. Rice, and she is another annoance te.au. of letters she desires to mail. I tor's office refused-to issue a license to I these companies solely because the state of ! California refnsed to permit a certain Ne braska life insurance company to do busi ness in that state. The statute under which, Mr. Searle bases his action is as follows 1W0 A. --Section A. (reciprocal licenses, taxes, statements, etc.). Whenever the existing or future laws of any other state ; of the United States or the rules and regu ! lations of the Insurance department of any such state shall require of life Insurance companies organized under the laws of this : state any deposit of securities in such state I for the security of the policyholders, or any ! payment of tuxes, fines, penalties, certlfl i cates of authority, lloelises, feus, or require any other duties, examinations or acts thun , are by the laws of this state required of i such companies organised under the laws of i such other state, then the, auditor of public 1 accounts shall Immediately require) from every Insurance company of any nnd every I character whatever of auch other . state transacting or sen-king to transact business In this state a like payment of all licenses, I fees, taxes, fines or penalties, ifnd a like making of all deposits 'or securities anu statements, and the like doing of all- acts which by the laws or rules of tho Insurance department of such other state are In ex- ! cess of the licenses, fees, taxes, deposits. statements, fines, penalties, act. examina tions or duties required by the laws of this state of the companies of such other state. The Nebraska company was excluded from doing business in California because Its capital stock is $100,000, whereas the laws of California require all life Insurance companies doing business In that state to have a capital stock of at least fJOO.OOO. Judge Munger says this requirement of the Cali fornia law is not one of those provided for In the statute quoted. The decision says the statutes of this state have designated the condition by which an outside company can do business in this state and when these conditions are met the auditor may not add further requirements as a further condition for the issuance, of a certificate of authority. The court says a number of other questions were presented in argu ment, but as they depend upon a basis of fact other than those rliown in the bill, it Is not necessary to consider them.

New Conditions Will Also Enlnra-e the Fronts and Kncouraare the I n . dustry In the Western States. Sheepmen of the west are rejoicing over the lower feedlng-tn-translt rates which some of the railroads have been forced to put Intd effect. ' jVhen the heavy shipments began this fall tho shippers realized the tremondous value of the reductions made In the pasture charges for sheep unloaded in . transit. Until a few months ago all the feeding stations of the various roads entering South Omaha and Chicago had been charg ing 1V4 cents' per day- per sheep unloaded, pastured and watered. These stations are located Juat outside the markets and con sist In great tracts of pasture land with t good water, whore tired and gaunted sheep may rest for a few days to recuperate. Theso feeding- stations are located as follows: On the Chicago & Great Western at Llndenwood, 111; on the Northwestern, Ashton, La Fox, Belvldere, Itochelle, III., ond Long Pine, Neb., near Omaha; on the Burlington, at Montgomery,- 111., and West Burnham, Neb.; on the Chletgo, Milwaukee & St. Paul, at Montgomery, 111., and on the I'nlon Pacific, at Valley, Fremont and Grand Island, Neb., as well as the stations at Sidney, North Platte, Lnramie and else where, where stock may be unloaded In conformity to the twenty-elght-hour law. Lower Rate Granted. Owing to the unsatisfactory condition of the sheep business the roads were petl tolned to grant a lower rate, which was done by most of the roads, the Northwest ern and Great Western reducing their charges to 1 cent; the Milwaukee to half a cent and the Burlington to three-quarters of a cent for the first ten days and half a cent thereafter. The feed stations nlong the I'mton Pa cific are not owned or controlled by that road, but have been built nnd are con trolled by private Individuals, who have been encouraged by the sheepmen to bet ter their plants until they have the best In the business At Valley, for Instance, they have splendid tame grns and brick runways and electric light, with the best of facilities. The private plants along the I'nlon Pacific say they cannot afford to reduce their charges because of the better feed and facilties offered. For tho last twenty years the plant nt Valley bus been continually bettered until It Is now an Ideal stopping place and the owners say the sheepmen do not expect them to give the better servlc at a reduced rate. A cent and a half a day on a shipment of 8,000 sheep means $75 a day, and If the mar ket Is dull and the shipper wants to hold his sheep fur a few days It counts tip fai-r. DEATH RECORD.
