LOnsviUj; Ky.. 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
. Missouri river Is a good place to meet and
Omaha the beet city on the stream, .

New York City
Is Startled;by :
Fake Report
Story that Alfred 0. 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

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

. 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

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

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,

an excellent character August 18. 1908. H
was made a corporal April . 1W7. and wa

He had been recommended for a good con
duct medal upon re-enllstment and was

Come.
FIEnun, 8. D.. Aug. 16. (Special.) 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.
BEATRICE The laboring men of Wy
mor and Beatrice will observe Labor lay
by holding picnics instrsd of celebrating
th day with pared and speaking.
