Aug. .-(Tec1a1.)-Member of the Omaha Ad club arrived In Louisville at 7:15 this morning. It was Just like returning to "My Old Kentucky Home," for everything looked familiar lomi way, and the delegation raw more "Omaha" algna when they alighted at the Union depot than they would see If thry atepped from a train at 1'nlon station In Omaha and took "their automobllea" for up-town. Through the main streets of the city the Omaha party drova In a tally-ho, which had been made Into a huge basket by the generous use of corn stalks. Their bugler awoke those stretched on benches outside; southern belles caught the music of the llttls copper chimes ringing for Omaha and peeped guardedly through the latticed windows. It was early to be up In any American city It waa about three hours too early for Louisville. But the city li full of ad men and Omaha opened the day proper. The Omahans all wore white felt outing hats. Th black borses wore natty little pets wltb'.;j'Oman" . on them , In visible e-othln. At the Beelback hotel, where the headquarters of the Omaha club . were opened Monday, Manager Louis Seelbach had six "colored gentlemen" In long white dusters, with oa?es and "plug" straw hats, to assist the party In alighting and ' handling baggage. . . The mualo room of the hotel on the par lor floor was opened for, the Omahans. Quests heard Robert Mahley playing "Way Down South In Dixie," "Down In Jungle Town" and "Then We'll A Go Home," before s o'clock. ' 'The quartet consists of fed flwobe. O. E. MoCune, L A. Medlar, ' Mel Uhl. Jr. . Surrounding this ,mulo room, the Omahana have tha ten" best suits In the Seelbach and that is going some. When the party went to the desk, to register, ever the big onyx counter, beneath a master piece of Italian art, hung a banner by a rival painter SlfOrd of Omaha whose Canvas had been made to speak "OMAHA NEXT." , From the roof garden hung another ban ner with the same suggestion, while the bill board contractors of Louisville have undertaken to guarantee that In every ,y meeting place during the meeting of the ; Associated Ad Clubs, of America, a sign twenty feet long will say "OMAHA i ' NEXT." r ' Fireworks Advertise Omaha. Wednesday evening may go off quiet, but the Omahans are to paint the town Thurs day, evening. For the first time fireworks are to be used In attracting attention to a city wanting the next convention. Two handsome set pieces arrived from St Louis today where they were made for the Omahana. One aays "OMAHA NEXT" and the other, "OMAHA WANTS TOU." Ba .. sides these there are forty pieces eXplod V lng In the air wrlch drop out "OV and . there will be O's not only at eath end of j "O-h-l-o," but a few hundred in the middle when this display Is pulled, off from a big boat which is to be used to shoot th fire- '. work. That Omaha stands a good ohance for the nest convention there Is no doubt. The Omahana started the Dobbs boom for - president of the associated clubs. Dobbs Is very popular in the south and west. v Louisville followed Uils up and the town la covered with "Dobbs and Dixie" a . cry ' which came down from Omaha Monday . when the advanced guard of Omaha ad , men arrived. While there Is a strong tendency to take the next convention to the east, the Omaha delegation, . backed by Louisville say ' the .

Vanderbilt Had Been Shot in Hotr Causes Excitement. NEW YORK, Aug. 25. Nsw fork was startled shortly after midnight today by a report which originated from some un known source and was communicated to the coroner's office that Alfred Owynu Vanderbllt had been shot at the Grand Union hotel, at Forty-second street and Park avenue. Tho coronet's elefk who received the mysterious information . by phone notified Coroner Bpfddy, who Im mediately started for Bellevu hospital, where It . was understood M. Vanderbllt had been taken. Before going, however, (he coroner . telephoned " 8llevue and learned that Mr. Vanderbllt was not there. Subsequent Inquiry at the Grand Union hotel showed that there had been no shooting there this evening. The clerk at the hotel said that the first Intimation that he had ' of any shooting came through an Inquiry from a New Tork morning newspaper... This was fol lowed quickly by inquiries from nearly every other newspaper in the city which In the meantime had received the report. The coroner quickly found that he had been duped and as the Grand Union hotel appeared quiet and normal when the re porters arrived. It waa seen that 'there bad baen a , mistake. Clinching this fact came a laconic telephone- message from Mr.. Vanderbllt himself, or at least one who said he was Mr. Vanderbllt, 'who called up the coroner's office and casually remarked, "I understand I" have been shot' He was told such a report waa In circu lation and that the coroner waa trying to learn where It originated.'. .Mr. Vanderbllt treated the whole matter a Joke. si . The man who called the Coroner's office and said he was Mr. Vaiidcrbilt was talk ing at the time from the New Tork olub In West Fortieth street, of which Mr. Vanderbllt is a member. , , " About the only mystery remaining to be cleared up now Is why the rumor was started and by whomw CARLISLE MINERS SHQ0T ' WOMAN IN THE BACK Wife of Saperlatendent la Wounded While la Her Hoas Foreign , Minora Coming. , CARLISLE, Ind., Aug.

J Tested by Taste STAY IN KIDNAPING CASE ' Hearing' Goei Orer in Barclay Caae Until Monday. 1 CHILD TO JUVENILE 0D7ICEE3 Coert Will Not Allow Girl to Go to Klther Wontaa t'attl After rase Is De ri d ed. KANSAS CITT, Aug. 16 -Marian Blak ley, the S-year-old Incubator baby of St. Louis World's fair fame, who was kid naped at Topeka last Saturday from Its mother. Mrs. J. J., Weakley,,, was today placed, temporarily In the cuntody of th clerk of the, Juvenile court lit Kansas City. An order to this effect, was given here this forenootv.br Judge E. E. Porterftsld In- the circuit court, after, he bad post poned 1 until, Monday next hearings tn th hateas oorpu. proceedings . Involving Mrs. Barclay and Gentry and until September 1 the case of the little girl.. . There wer two. habeas corpus proceed ings on the docket today, both brought by Mrs. James G. Barclay of Buffs-lo. N. T. the foster mother of the child.. One sought t prevent herself and J. R. Gentry from being returned to Topeka for trial. The second sought to prevent baby Marian from being returned to the cuntody of Mrs. Blfaktey, whom the state supreme court has' declared is the legal mother. Today's proceedings, though brief, were fraught with much Interest and were par ticipated In by the greatly sought (-year-old child and the two wqmen who have made so' strenuous a fight for her posses sion. When the proceedings In the habeas corpus case to prevent Marian being re turned to tho custody of her mother at Topeka - came up Frank Walsh, attorney for Mrs. Bleakley, filed an answer In which It was contended that Judge Porterfleld's division of the circuit court lacked Jurisdic tion. Arguments Of this case were then begun. Mr. Walsh argued that as the supreme court had decided that Mrs. Bleakley Is th mother of the baby the lower court had no right to Interfere. Pleads for Mrs. Bleakley. Mr. . Walsh pleaded that the child be placed Immediately In the custody of Mrs. Bleakley. No civilised community, he de clared, would permit a child of such tender age being kept In the matron'! room at po lice headquarters. Then B. F. Stanley, a member of the olty council of Topeka, made an offer to the court to give a tlO.000 oash bond for the child's safe appearance In court later if Mrs. Bleakley was permitted to hav her until Monday. To these arguments the attorneys for Mrs. Barclay, led by John H. Atwood, a well-known Kansas politician, made vigor ous objections. ' They cited the fact that Mrs. Bleakley herself once kidnaped the child from Judge Smart's court room at Lawrence, Kan., after she had been or dered to turn the baby over into the cus tody of the court. Thus, they contended, Mr. BlAkley wet as fnuch a kidnaper as Mrs. Barclay. Mr. Atwood said It Was Impossible that MRrlan be taken out of th court's Jurisdic tion at this time. For, he said, Mrs. Bar clay's attorneys wished to present to the court the records of previous trials which. he asserted, showed that Mr. Bleakley'a baby died soon after bfrth and the child now In controversy waa not legally hers. Judge Porterfleld then ended the argu ment by placing the child In the car of the Juvenile court and postponing the pro ceedings. During th progress of th proceedingsJ today Marian nestled In the lap of Mrs. Bleakley, who sat Just In front of the Judge's bench. During Mr. Walsh's argu ments for the Immediate possession of the child, Mrs. Bleakley gave way to tears as she caressed the little one. Mrs. Bar clay sat unmoved beside on of her attor neys In the rear of the room. Later there was an affectionate parting between child and mother as th clerk of in juvenile court was given Marian and led her from the court room. Mrs. Bleak ley will be allowed to visit her. Mrs, Barclay and J. N. Gentry wer re manded to the custody of the chief of po lice. Real Mother an Aetrnaf Marian Bleakley Is not the child of Mia. J. J. Bleakley or Topeka, accordlngto Mrs. Barclay. Her real mother, Mrs. Barclay declares, Is an actress. ' Her real mother, Mrs. Barciay declares. Is an actress. Mrs. "'Barciay, resting under a charge of kidnaping Marian and who has said he would fight until she died to retain possession- of the little on, said this morn ing, as she,. talked to a reporter in th matron's room: "If I' thought for on minute there waa a drop of Mrs Bleakley's blood In th child, I wouldn't hav her for an Instant. But I know . to whom she belongs. She waa th child of an aotress. And, by th way, little Marian Is the exact picture of her. The strong similarity of features to my mind make the Identification com plete.'" If we could only, by some legal proceedings, get the actress to court there would be no doubt In the matter." RATE CASE TO BE APPEALED (Continued from First Page.) opinion , on which the commission's order was based. Commissions Trip West. . A change In the Itinerary of the Inter state Commerce commleslon on Its Pacific coast trip developed today from the an nouncement of the assignment of cases to be heard by the commission during Its absence from Washington. It had been expected that the ,work, of the commission on the trip would begin at Ppoksne on October i. Commissioner Prcuty, however, has assigned the first esse for hearing at Rait Lake City on September IJ. The case Is that of the Commercial club traffio bureau of Salt Leke City against the AtchUen, Topeka & Santa F and other carriers.. It Involves the question of the reasonableness of the freight rates on both east bound and west bound traffic. Alignment of the rehearing of th case of tho city of Spokane against the Northern Pacific railway, and others, known as the Bpckan rate case. Is made for Spokane on September 29. It is likely the advance In the dates of the hearing of these two eases will auto matically advance the dates of hearing of the cases In Seattle. Portland, San Fran clsoo, Los Angeles and Reno.

CRABTREE INJIOLENT Fir (Continued frotrt First Fag.) Crabtr seemed perfectly ewar of being In confinement at all time and was ra tional In hi conversation. Private Durack waa next called. H had also been on guard over th accused the day after the killing. Crabtree had re peatedly asked if witness had seen the papers and seemed anxious to know the condition of Captain Raymond. lie said to witness, "Don't ever drink, especially whisky, for; It always makes me craiy." Me seemed rational In his conversation, but was restless. ' . Crabtre Once Injared. James F. Moore of Tyrone, Pa., wa called. II stated that be had knewr CrlXree since ISH. In 1898 the acoused had been employed by the witness In a candy establishment at Tyron. December 1 he had been caught In an elevator, loaded with candy welshing about 400 pound. The bar across .the top of the lift had caught him while he was sitting on the second floor landing. He was taken out unconscious vand had .been taken home in this condition. It was eom three or four months before he was out again and for several years thereafter he complained of his back. The witness was. a sergeant In the Sheridan troop of th Pennsylvania National Guard, to which the accused be longed In IKK. Crabtree had been examined physically and accepted. They went to the state camp and while there Crabtree had falned In the ranks on day, after which time h was not allowed to drill. He was discharged to allow him to enlist In th marine corps, which he did. Witness next saw Crabtree in 1908, after his service In the marine corps, and thought him much Improved physically. He testified that he would not reoognls Crabtree on the street now. James M. Laporte of Tyrone, Pa., a cou sin of Mrs. Beyer, the mother of the ac cused, was called and tertlfied to having known the accused all his life. He told of the relatives who had been In the Insane asylum In Pennsylvania. Mr. Laporte said that he was shocked at the present appearance of th accused, and said that he would not know him. Sergeant Washburn was called and told of th fin character of Captain Ray mond, who, he said, believed In controlling his men by persuasion at all times. Ii had never heard of any trouble between the captain and th accused or between tha acoused and anyone else. Mother on the Stand. Mrs. W. Beyer, mother of the prisoner, then took the stand. The council for Crabtree asked her how she was, when Crabtree Jumped to his feet and said: "Don't tell your name or age. Don't tell them anything. Don't tell them any thing at all. Don t do it. You have al ready told too much. They are all against us and will ruin the whole family. I am sane." Colonel Gardener, the president of the court, had to repeatedly admonish the prisoner to keep quiet and finally had him taken to the rear of the room. He was kept quiet here and. his mother was al lowed to continue. 1 She told of her mar riage to Crabtree''. father In 1879; of the birth of th boy In .1882 and of his ill health as a small. :chlld. She had had fever a few months before his birth, and her head had subsequently given her great trouble. Her husband- had always been weak And sickly, nd bad died of consump tion In 1889. ' ' When- 10 years old Crabtree had sever oonvulsttms. When 7 year old he had ' severe attack of scarlet fever from which he had never fully re covered until well along In his teens. She told of th Injury at th candy shop and of bis weak condition thereafter. Up to the age of 17 he had been backward and sick and had complained of his back. When he wanted to enlist In 1904 for the Marine corps he had said to his mother: "Mother, I am a weakling and if I go Into the Marine corps It will build me up." He had been in Pittsburg for a time at work. His habits- about home had always been of the best. He went to churoht reg ularly and' never drank. Was not fond of society. When he same horn aftar hi first service and before enlisting for the cav alry, she had seen a revolver In his trunk which looked Ilk th one with which he had shot Captain Raymond. After again enlisting he wrote horn constantly. After he arrived at Des Molne he seemed dis satisfied for th first time In all his ab sence from home. June 14 sh had read an account In the paper of the shooting of Captain Raymond, , and had at one gone to Fort Des Moines with her other eon. She arrived there June It, - and went to the guard house to see Crabtree at once. She had said to him: "Son, why did you tdo this?" He had replied, "I don't know any more than you, unless I was craiy. To-i know I would not do anything Ilk this unless craiy." She saw him again a week ago. He seemed still mora unnatural and said to her: "Mother, what Is the matter with you ( you don't seem Ilk you used to." He also said tha same thing about his brother. Monday afternoon, after the first day of the trial was over, she had agajn seen Crabtre, and he had said; "There la nothing In all this. They are all against me." He . smd to follow hi mother's tory Intently. Alienist on Stand. Dr. Oershom H. Hill, an alienist of Des Moines, was called. He stated that he had been at the head of various Institutions for the treatment of the Insane and now had a private hospital et tea Molne for such cases. The counsel . for Crabtree read a long hypothetical .question, whloh was a history of his entire life to data, and asked Dr. Hill If all these fact stated were true, what hi opinion was as to th men tal condition of th accused. Th doctor re plied: - "I believe that he was demented." Asked to qualify this, h said the form of mental trouble was known as "dementia precox" and that It was both progressive and per manent. He had examined the accused at Des Moines and had observed him during the trial and consiaered him a nervous Invalid and believed that he was insane at th present time. The point on which h based this were the fact that no depravity had been shown. Ther wti no record of vicious habits. No Intoxication at tlm of crime. No example of violent temper. The crime revealed no definite purpose In Its commission. The conditions were un natural, unreasonsble, unproved, unex pected and unexplalnable. except on th ground of Insanity. He said that th rami lay with the accuxed and his condition, and not with hi environment. r,r. Hill was still on th stand when ofiurt ad lourned for the day. Turing the day the record of the accused -. . . iniriuiiimt It showed that he was born In lWi Tha h enlisted August B, l!KM. Was discharged as a sergeant with an excellent character August 18. 1908. H was made a corporal April . 1W7. and wa promoted to a sergeaney January S, 19(.

A half doten Dakota town will se th next grand rush for registration for a chance St a drawing on th next Indian reservation to be opened to settlement. Five of these will be In South Dakota and one tn North Dakota, the list having been selected for registration points being 'Pierre," on the Northwestern road; L Beau, on the Min neapolis & 81. Louis, and Aberdeen, Mo brldge and Lemmon on' the Milwaukee. Bismarck, on th Northern Pacific, Is the only North Dakota point whloh will b able to secure any of th favor of registra tion. Aberdeen get by far the best of th situation, as the drawings for prefer ence right of filing will be at that city, which will hold a crowd longer after the registration la oompleted. The registration date will b from October 4 to U, In whloh time anyone who dsslres can register at any of the points named abov, and with his registration will go hi name and post office address, and on th SMh of October th drawing will commenoe at Aberdeen, and the holders of the number up to the full number of claims on the reservation will be notified of the number drawn and the date when they shall appear to make filing. While most of the land lie within ths present boundaries of the Pierre land district, a strong effort Is being made to secure a new district covering the terri tory before the filing begin. If th number of registrations for reser vations whloh have been opened In the last few years are to be taken as a criterion for the rush for Cheyenne River and Stand ing Rock lands, the number will be close to 100,000 before the registrations ar closed. The heaviest registrations will be at Ab erdeen, Pierre and Le Beau, as these will be the first towns to be reached by the eastern traveler on one of the three roads on which registration place hav been lo cated. Lemmon will probably catch most from the west, with Mobrldge taking what overflow past Aberdeen and Lemmon. Favorite Land of Indian. The country to be opened has been held onto by the Sioux Indians as their choice next to the Black Hills country, whloh was their first choice of location In the Dakota country, but out of which they were forced by the gold discoveries. From that section they 'went to the valleys of the Cheyenne, Moreau Grand and Cannon Ball rivers, Where they have been allowed to remain until the closing In of the whit man has demanded these lands, w hue th older Indians let go with reluctance, th youngar and more progressive ones are per fectly willing that the surplus lands, after they hav taken their allotments, shall b sold to th white. Th allotments have, all been taken and, while a portion of th reservations hav been retained to pleas th older Indians,' It will be only a question of time when all wilt be white man coun try. The portions they retain are along th Cheyenna rlvsr and In th northern part of this state and southern North Da kota, along the Missouri. The portion of th reservation to be opened comprises practically 2,000,000 acres after the Indian allotments hav been taken, and will make homes for over 12,000 whit families In the new northwest. While up to the present time there Is but on railway In aotlva operation across any portion of the tract the Milwaukee, run ning through the northern end of It, by the time th settlers get located they will find plenty of rail facilities for handling their goods In and their products out. The Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul appears to be making the greatest efforts to cover the section. Besides the line they have In operation they hav surveys both along the southern line of the territory and an other through the center of It, reaching out for the Thunder Butte country. On these lines grading Is In progress and work be ing; pushed as fast as possible. The North western is reaching ror tn same territory with surveys out from Philip and Bell Fourch and work Is already under way on the Belle Fourche extension, and by the time settlers get located on their lands that system will be getting In their reach end be ready to haul them. The Minne apolis tc St. Louis, with Its present terminal at L Beau, on th Missouri, has Its sur vey practically completed across th south ern part of th territory, competing with the Milwaukee for the rich Fox Ridge country. All of these lines will be ready to handle land seeker early next year. Character of Lead. In topography, th territory to b opened. which la approximately 100 miles long. In th two state, and forty miles wide, la bordered on th outh by th Choyenn river and on the north by the Cannonball, and I divided Into thr ectlons by th Grand and Moreau river. The southern section contains th noted "Fox Ridge" country, whloh Is a heavy loam .In th east, and changes to a sandy character further west. North of thl I the Moreau river with tta deep valley woll supplied with timber, and a clear running stream. Th valley narrow and the bluffs ar high and steep. It being necessary at places to go miles to find a practical roadway down Into the valley. North of the Moreau is a broad plateau, which grows the native wheat crass." whloh of Itself Is almost qial to oats for feed, and In its growth shows what can be done with th land When It 1 cultivated to grain. North ot this pleateau Is the booad and beautiful valley of the Grand river, with Its gently undulating hills fsr back from the river on either side, and a somewhat sandy soil all along ths valley. North of the Grand Is another plateau between that and th Cannonball. which is equal In fertility to the noted Morton county lands in norm Dakota, which has In the past few year been converted Into thousands of homes for settlers. Th territory to b opened covers In South Dakota portions of the counties of Arm strong, Schnaeee, Dewey and Corson and In North Dakota the county of Morton. In thl state the only organised county Is Corson, which lies along ths northern boundary of the state, but the new settlers will not bo long in securing organisation for the other counties after they get lo cated, and there will be no 'wild west niavs In the work of settlement, but within a short time the machinery of local govern ment will be working as smoothly in th new eountle as it Is in any of the counties of the older eastern states. While ther is more or less rough lard In the section to be opened most of It 1 tillable, and when those who get selections of this favored portion of th state finally get settled they will add thousar.ds ot home to those already here and happy In th thought that they ar located in on of th growing new northwestern state.
