Exchange Endorses Protestant Chris
tian University of Omaha.
DR. MAYNARD SOON TO GO EAST
Will Be Armed with Cordial Sapport
of Omaha and Expects Saccea
with Bis; Financial I n
terests. The Protestant Christian University of
Omaha received the endorsement of the
Omaha Real Estate exchange Wednesday
noon and the dealers indicated that when
time came thry would put something be
hind the endorsement that would rattle.
Four of the directors of the university
are members of the Real Estate exchange
and the endorsement was asked by Dr. H.
H. Maynard, financial agent of the Instl
tutlon, who spoka briefly on the possibili
ties of the university.
"I have gone over the ground carefully
near the proposed campus in the north part
of the city," said Dr. Maynard. "I hav
taken into consideration the parks and tha
lakes near It. I am putting tha figures low
when I say that if a university was goln
to buy the advantages for Its students, what
the city of Omaha already has In that
neighborhood would cost $500,000. 1 remera
ber Andrew Carnegie paid $350,000 to make
a lake for athletic rowing at Princeton
university and Cut-Off lake Is twice as
good it's worth $700,000 to the university
on that basis.
"The proposition Is to make this unlver
slty one free from denomination control.
am a Presbyterian, to be sure, but the coun
try demands something broader than any
sectarianism and the big interests in the
east can be approached and will respond to
an appeal for assistance in building and
endowing a university built on the line
we propose.
What Omaha Most Do.
"Now, I am not here today to ask you
for your money you probably will
asked before long. We want the city
be
Omaha to raise $200,000. With that wa will
buy tha campus and erect tha first build
ing, the administration building, which can
be done for another $100,000. If Omaha will
do this, we will guarantee to raise $300,000
in the east, and that amount, $500,000, will
open your college of fine arts, and we will
bring 400 students here. Then It will be
easier to raise $1,000,000 for an endowment
fund than it will be to secure tha $200,000.
"That' the proposition, and I am going
to New York with all tha .endorsement
for this university I can get. We want
yours, and if you are pleased to give it w
will bo pleased tV receive it."

4 DID NOT TAKE THE WILL"
Mil.
D. J, Lamb Denies Destroying
tht Connor Testament.
QUESTION FINALLY PUT TO HER
Her Attorneys Ostt Her Chaaee t
Make Dental, Sine laelaaatloaa
Mad Beea Tarawa Oat
by Other Side.
A question which half the spectators In
the courtroom had been expecting for hour
wa asked Mra D. J. Lamb of Chicago by
Attorney English in tha Connor will case
Wednesday morning.
"Did you take any will from tha desk,"
he asked Mr. Lamb.
"I did not," answered the witness.
The question was asked on cross-exam
ination, th proponent having called Mrs.
Lamb to th aland Tuesday afternoon and
qulssed har for hour then and Wednesday
morning. Attorney E. P. Smith for the pro
ponents had asked innumerable question
about the visit of Mr. Lamb to her uncle'
home and also Interrogated her at length
about tha desk in Connor' room where tha
will was kept or alleged to tiave been kept.
It wa expected that Smith would ask Mra
Lamb If she t-.ad taken the will or had
seen that document, but ha did not.
Inasmuch a hi questions had suggested
that she might have had an opportunity to
make away with the will, the attorney for
her aide determined to give her a chanca
to clear herself by a denial of th Impli
cation or Innuendo arising from the ques
tion of the other aide.
Mrs. Lamb, who la a daughter of Mr.
Elian O'Connor, and Attorney Smith, came
near clashing mora than onca during tha
long and exceedingly rigorous examination
to which (he wa subjected. One the wit
ness clearly manifested the tense feeling
which the attorney' question engendered
and declared:
Excepts to the Qeestlons.
"If you would put your question prop
erly, I could answer it."
"I beg your pardon. If my question are
not properly constructed," retorted tha
attorney, "possibly you have been a law
yer longer than I."
Mra Lamb's testimony developed the fact
that after th first agreement between
the relatives, to which there were four
parties, each to gat one-fourth of tha
estate an amended version wa diawn
up Including Mr. Lamb and tha division
accordingly to be by fifths.
"Why did these people agree to give
you one-fifth of this estate, worth $600,-
0007" Smith demanded.
"Because my uncle always said he In
tended to do as well by my son Franklyn
as by Grace," wa the answer.
Th case which is now three day old
i far fmm it conclusion and the pro
ponents will have more witnesses to Intro
duce before Attorney English and John
J. Sullivan for th relative have their
Inning. After that th argument will
doubtless consume considerable time. It
is deemed likely the case, whatever Its
upshot, will be appealed to tha district
court.
SHACKS HOLD CITY BACK
J. I.. MeCaaa Bay Remove Them
aad Balld Loop Car Line for
Retail Center.
John L McCague told the Real Estate
exchange Wednesday that If the one-story
shacks In tha retail district of th city
were abolished fc-nd tha street railway
would cut out it "long haul" schema
and adopt tha loop system, Omaha would
be able to make much greater progress
than la now possible.
After hi address tha exchange decided
to take up the loop proposition with tha
street railway company, but nothing, save
a few blushes, came of tha attack on the
"one-story shacks."
McCague said these shack discouraged
larger structures because owner of th
shacks were getting a large rentals as
the big Aulidings might bring. He said th
hack kept the retail Investor away from
the city. Space in tha retail district, he
asserted, was not adequate to the demand.
He described a system of route for the
street railway wfthln which ha proposed
a retail district
"The street car line should com down
Seventeenth, or perhaps Eighteenth, run
south to Howard or Jackson, east to Four
teenth, north to Davenport and east to
Seventeenth or Eighteenth," ha said.
"Inside of this loop would be your retail
district, one part of it a good as another,
all on th car line or within a block or
two of It, a in Chicago. Shack would
be replaced with buildings, and lltt! stores
which can hardly pay rent would not be
scattered away out on NjMth Twenty-fourth
street and south on Leavenworth street.
U. S. GRANT SUIT OF BANK
Action to Replevin Independent
Telephone Bond Cornea V p In
Dny or Two.
The suit of Ulysse 8. Grant, Jr., against
the First National bank of Omaha will
come up for decision before Judge Day of
the district court In a day or two. The
question Involved Is the right to replevin
those famous Independent telephone bond
in the manner In which possession wa
gained.
Th bonds, worth about $40,000 and al
leged to have been stolen from Lo An
geles, were located, In Kansas City. Th
tory goe that word wa sent to Kaw
vllle that there might ba a purchaser for
them In Omaha and a request made that
they be sent to the bank her. The bond
were accordingly sent Soon after this a
stranger appeared at the window of the
bank and requested that he ba permitted
to look them over with a view to purchase.
Th bonds were handed out tha window and
a second man accompanying the other
promptly replevtned there.
It Is deemed' unlikely that service ob
tained in such a way will b held legal.
Clysse S. Grant, Jr.. is th son of tha
former president and ha been active In
California politic a well a in buainesa
and baa been an unsuccessful candidate
several time for the United State senate.

CHURCH PARTS WITH PASTOR
Hillside Congregational Tenders a
Reception to Rev. Mr. Mills
and HI Wife.
Tha last formal farewells were said to
Rev. Herbert L. Mills of the Hillside Con
gregational church Tuesday night by the
congregation, before he leaves Omaha to
taka charge at Trenton, Neb. Almost 100
people assembled In the parlors of the
church at Thirtieth and Ohio streets.
Rev. Mr. Mills ha been pastor of the
Hillside church since November, 1904, and
has lived in the manse behind the church
building. He will leave Omaha for Trenton
about February 1. No plana have yet been
made tor a successor.
Rev. L. O. Balrd of the St. Mary's Ave
nue Congregational church voiced the sen
timent of Omaha Congregatlonalists at
last night' reception and spoke In warm
term of the splendid work done by Rev.
Mr. Mills during his pastorate in Omaha.
A th announcement of his acceptance of
the Trenton call came a surprise. Rev.
Mr. Balrd dwelt upon th loss that will be
felt by tha Hillside congregation. However,
ha extorted them not to feel disoouraged
over tha loss, and to continue the good
work that had been started.
Expressing appreciation of the words
spoken by Mr. Balrd and others, including
George W. Durham, who presided at the
meeting, Rev. Mr. Mills made a brief talk
in reply. He declared that he was loath
to leave Omaha, where he has made many
friends and which he calls his home. He
has married an Omaha young woman since
ha became pastor of the Hillside church.
A a testimonial of the esteem felt by
herself and the whole congregation for
Rev. and Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Schnellbacher of
Council Bluff, a former attendant at Hill
side and a warm personal friend of the
departing minister and his wife, presented
them with a large bunch of carnations,
after which the reception was continued
by ' those present and refreshments were
served by the women of the church.
During the program, musical numbers
were offered by the Misses Allle and Nina
Marshal!, Mr. Louis Knettle and Miss Ma
bel Manning.
CHECK ARTIST LANDS MANY
Skill f ml Stranger Plays All Victims
Without Favorites, bnt Finally
is Trapped.
Victims of R. A. James, or W. H. Davis
or Daniels, by the score are organizing i
find some way to prevent tho escape i
the man who "trimmed" them hard. '
James met his Waterloo at the Bennett
store Tuesday when he tried to pass a
check on the bank of Ogalalla. He could
not spell Ogalalla. Manager Bchantz of the
Bennett company not only did not cash the
check, but h told Wylie Armour of the
escapade and Armour at once said: '.'That
I the very man Herman Peter Is looking
for."
The police were notified and at 10:30 Tues
day night James was located at the Pax
ton and was taken to ,the police station.
Last May James secured $35 on a check
at the Brandels store and since then his
victim have been numerous. Ha was a
most skillful worker ' and some of his
schemes were interesting.
Herman Peters, proprietor of the Mer
chants hotel, wa worked for $35 November
17. Davis laid he knew Hank Simmons and
had Chief Clerk Carney make out a check
which he signed with the same signature
he had on th hotel register. Simmons
could not be found, a it seems Davis had
timed his play for just the time of Sim
mons' departure from Omaha. He took the
check to Peter, who seeing it in the hand
writing of tri clerk supposed It was all
right and cashed It.
Davis tried to get N. H. Loomla, general
solicitor of the Union Pacific, to cash a
check for $36, which seems to be a favorite
amount. Mr. Loomls even went as far as
endorsing the check, but when he questioned
Davis a little further he saw there was
something wrong and scratched his name
off the back.
Fred L. Ingersoll of 601 South Fifteenth
street was also stung for $35. Other victims
are making themselves known. Word has
been received from Dodge City that Davis
I wanted there.
Announcement of the Theaters.
The Jollity contained In "Lady Hunt
worth' Experiment" Is not surpassed by
any offering yet made at the Burwood
theater. One of the most excruciatingly
funny situation is reached at the ..very
end of the play, some little time after
the wiseacre have decided that no more
fun could possibly be extracted from the
"Experiment," and consequently have
commenced to arrange their wraps,
whereas two or three more minutes of at
tention would have allowed them to enjoy
tb beat laugh of all. A matinee will be
given today and Saturday. "Lover's
Lane," which is to be the next week's bill,
ha already drawn an immense advance

STATE ARMORY FOR OMAHA
Bills Appropriating- $50,000 to Be In
troduced This Week.
CITY MUST SUBSCRIBE LIKE SUM
Fonrth Militia Company Aasnred If
Leglalatnro nnd t'ltlsena Act In
Way Believed Likely Fnll
Regiment Dreamed Of.
Omaha may get a state armory building
costing $100,000 for the use of its compan
ies In the Nebraska National Guard. Bills
appropriating half this amount will be pre
sented to both houses of the state legisla
ture, the appropriation to be conditional
upon the raising of a like amount by
Omaha cltlxens. Should the appropriation
be made and the conditional sum raised,
land sufficient for the armory will be
bought upon which the building will be
erected.
The legislature bills call for th appro
priating of $50,000 semi-annually for the
building of state armories wherever needed,
the expenditure for each company being
limited to $12,500, the cttle In which the
armories are to be located being required
in each Instance to raise a similar um. The
bill also provide that the armories shall
be built In the cities where they are most
needed, and where rent are now the high
est. It I under this clause that Omaha will
get the first appropriation. There am now
three military organisations in Omaha
the Thurston Rifles, the Dahlman Rifle
and the Omaha Guard nnd these three
will call for a total appropriation of $37,500.
If tha bills are passed a fourth company
will be organised at once nnd a full bat
talion thereby formed which will taka the
entire first appropriation of $50,000, the law
contemplating combination where there 1
more than one company.
Federal Inspectors Support Plan.
The federal government pays about $75,000
every two years to the state guard of Ne
breska, but the payment is made upon tha
condition that the guard Is kept up to a
verlain standard of increasing efficiency.
Regular army officers, who annually In
spect the guard companies, have repeatedly
recommended better facilities, and the pro
posed bills aro in i line with recommenda
tions made. The bills are drafted after
plans which have been In successful oper
ation in Pennsylvania, New York and othor
eastern states for years, and by the build
ing of the state armcries it Is thought
that Increased interest will He shown In
the state military organizations and that
citizens generally will show more Interest
by reason of having money Invested.
The armories will not only provide for
drill purposes, but gymnasiums, baths,
reading rooms, and storage rooms will be
Installed. The semi-annual appropriation
of $50,000 for that purpose Is about t per
cent of the total appropriation made by
each legislature.
With four companies Omaha will have a
'inttalion organization. Three battalions
( nipose a regiment, and with the growth
f the city it is thought by military author
.ties that the city may some day have an
entire regiment. For this reason sufficient
grcund for regimental barracks will be
bought In the event that the bills pass
the legislature and ar approved by the
governor.
ELECTION JUDGE WINS FEE
Judge Day Rule on Demurrer
Case of Triple Election Con-
" test of lOOB.
J. R. VanQUder has won Ms suit against
Douglas county. Judge Day handed down
a decision Wednesday in tho case which
has the effect of settling the contention
regarding payment of fees for service as
an election Judge.
The case is exactly similar to those re
sulting from the election of 1908, the pres
ent one eating back to 19C6. That fall there
occurred the same day a city -ejection.
county election and also balloting for
school board trustees. The same men
were named as Judges by all the three and
after the election claimed triple payment
The city paid, the school board paid, but
the county commissioners balked.
Judge Day holds that as a matter of law
the men served as Judges In the three sep.
arate Instances, although simultaneously.
The decision Is on a demurrer filed by th
defendant. Since the question first cam
up the law has been changed.
