An Innovation along the line of religious
education la about to be launched In
Omaha. It will he known a the Sunday
School Teacher Training Inst tute of 1our
laa county. The training center will bp
the Young M.n's Christian assort i lion and
the Young Women's Christian assoc. ailori.
At those two places the Instruction wl.t
be given.
The new departure bo practically In
charge of the fallowing advisory commit
tee: L. T. Crosiariian, director religious work,
Young Men's Christian association, chair
man. K. U. Graff, principal of the high school.
Rev. J. M. Kcrncy, state supi riniendent
tescher training department.
O. V. Noble, superintendent Calvary
Baptist Sunday school.
Mrs. F. W. Staliard, formerly president
primary graded union.
This advisory commute will endeavor to
do three things:..
First To recommend and p.omote teacher
training coursis.
Second To assist, when desired, a Sun
day school In the grading of Its pupl'a and
in the selection and grading of Its courses.
Third To provide rcfeier.ee library facili
ties at the training c nti r and to keep on
hiind enmpl of graded mntrrlal for Sun
day school use; also to assist the local
school In securing books from the public
library. In thin branch of the work M m
Tnbltt, the librarian, will actively co-operate,
Mr. Wallace, president of the Ftate and
County Sunday School associations, ap
pointed the Douglas county advisory com
mittee named above.
New Movement I I nlque.
This new departure In religious educa
tional work about to be taken in Omaha
Is unique, and Its active promoters are ex
pecting to see great results after the train
ing course has been brought Into effective
working order. Its formation Is the direct
result of certain proposals formulated last
August at Silver Hay, N. Y., by o com
mls.slon of which a. a. Wallace of Omaha
was chairman. The proposal of the com
mission, In turn, resulted from resolutions
adopted at the triennial convention of the
International Sunday School association,
held at Louisville, Ky., In 1!K7. These res
olutions recommended the preparation of
graded courses for the Sunday schools as
soon as possible. This fall the graded
courses were rrady for the beginners' and
primary departments, and the first year of
the Junior d. partrnent. The remaining
grades arc being rapidly prepared at the
present time. , ' ;
The national conference of the Young
Men's Christian association secretaries cf
North America, which convened In Omaha,
June 1 to 7 of this year, expressed the pur
pose of the Young Men's Christian associa
tion to be to aid each local churah and Sun
day school Ih winning th boys and men of
ItB community', i Following a conference of
the local churches and Sunday schools the
conference met In session October t and

ORIGIN OF CRATERS ON MCON
rrof. See, in Lecture, Sayi They Are
Caused by Impact of Meteors.
CAFTUHE THEORY GAINS SUPPORT

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. SS. Exten.llng
tnd cornpie tinR his lcscaieTta on .lie origin
of the planets and r.ntcllltes of tho i 'br
system, earlier accounts of which wtro
nade puMl' In January and June cf the
present year. Prof. T. J. J. See, V. 8. N.,
the astronomer In chnrse of the naval ob
fervatory at Mare Island, gave SUurday
night to tho A-treinnmieal Puri ty of the
Pacific, an explanation of the orlg n of the
caters of the moon and then proceeded to
tpi-ly the theory to the obliquities of the
plnnets, which, he said, overcame tho last
difficulty In th'' way of the "Cap.ure
theory," recently advanced by him as sup
planting the nebular hypothesis of L . ace.
Prof. See nnnounoed that the lunar
craters were undoubtedly due to the im
pact of smaller satellites against the sur
face of the moon, and not to volcanic
action, as had been generally believed,
since the time of Galileo. The view that
tho lunar craters mlqht bo due to Impact,
he ealdy had occurred to Proctor, ns long
ago as 1S7C, ;. ml had ncen mentioned as
a curiosity by Kcwcnib In 1878; while It
had been more fully developed by Dr. Q.
K. Gilbert of the I'nl.ed States Geological
survey in 1852. But tho Impact theory had
never been accepted by geologists or on
tronomers, ami was not mentioned in any
recent works on astronomy, so great hj
been the force of traditional option In
c inlng to the old volcanic theory.
(apt ore Theory Gain Support.
Prof. See, however, pointed out detailed
reasons which, he claims, were absolutely
Ceclslve against the volcanic theory, and
remarked that there would now be less
difficulty In seeing the truth of the Im
pact theory than formerly, because he had
recently proven that the moon is not a
part of the earth thrown off by rapid ro
tutlon, but a planet captured from aipace.
The new theory of the capture of the
moon, he said, had been favorably re
ceived by the scientific world, but it would
be of still greater use In bringing to light
other discoveries, such as those announced
tonight.
Dr. See said the typical crater on the
moon was a very large circular depression
with steep walls Inside and sluping walls
outsldo and a small peak in the center,
with the top of It below the average level
of the lunar surface. If any one supposed
the craters to be volcanic. It was impos
sible to account for the depressions where
the craters stand, and no forces directed
from within could dig up the circular
trough about the peak In the center. Then,
too, the way the craters He over one an
other shows that they are nothing but
satellite Indentations. About the newest
craters, as Copernicus, Tycho, Arlstarchua,
etc., the bright rays radiating in all direc
tion show that at the time of the collisions
the force of the Impact was such that mat
ter was melted, vaporized and driven out
from these centers In all directions. A
satellite hitting the moon might have lt
temperature raised to 4,000 degrees or
higher, and the bright rays from the
cratera were due to the spattering of
highly heated matter.
. Example In Tar net Practice.
The blazing flash seen In target prac.lce
when a shot hits the target was familiar
to offloers of the military service, and the
flattening and spreading of the projectile
was ivich as to give a peak In the center
Of the mashed shell, while at the same
tm a rm is formed around it. Just like
that seen about the craters on the moon.
But the shot fired In the mightiest target
practice on tho earth Is as nothing com
pared to that In the heavens, where satel
lites from twenty to fifty miles In diame
ter had been hurled against the lunar sur
face with a velocity of over a mile a seo-
ond, and thus produced blazing conflagra
tions sometimes covering the whole aide
of the moon.
Prof. See pointed out that many of the
craters are largely covered with cosmlcal
dust, a kind of metallic or llthlc rain,
which had fallen from such conflagration.
There is no air about the moon in which
it could long remain suspended. He tald
that the moon had never had any seas or
smaller bodies of water, and that the lunar
mountains were entirely due to impact of
satellites against the surface, but thought
that most of 'the great collisions had oc
curred before the moon was captured by
the earth, and, therefore, while the moon
was still revolving in the region now occu
pied by the asteroids. The smaller aste
roids are about the size of the falling bod
ies which have produced the larger lunar
craters from twenty to Blxty miles across.
This is about the size of the planet Eros.
which approaches nearer the earth than
any other known planet.
Lack of Air Preserve Effect.
"The roughness of the surface of our
moon shows how many hard knocks It has
received In the past. Every planet has
gone through a similar experience, but
those having atmosphere and oceans, like
the earth, have suffered such great geo
logical changes that they have long since
lost all trace of anotent battering, while
these Indentations have survived In the air
less and waterless moon to show us the
terrlfio . process by which worlds are
formed," declared Prof. See.
In a second paper presented tonight. Dr.
See explained the obliquities of the planets
by the Impact of satellites against their
surfaces. He said he had discovered the
cause of the obliquities from the case of
Jupiter, whose axis Is nearly perpendicular
to the plane of his orbit. At one time
Jupiter's obliquity was larger than that of
the earth, or even Saturn, 28 degrees; but
as the greatest of the planets had gathered
In satellites moving about the sun In planes
having the average position of the Jovian
orbit, the equator had been tilted down
almost Into coincidence with It. In this
way had arisen the small obliquity of Jupi
ter, and a similar Influence had acted upon
the other planets. Saturn's obliquity would
practically disappear If that planet could
gather In enough satellites to make the
mass as great as that of Jupiter. Tht
obliquity of our earth, cn which the sea
sons depend. Is smaller than that of Mars,
and Prof. See said that the obliquity of
Venus probably was tmaller yet, not ex
ceeding 20 degrees. He ascribed the high
obliquity of the systems of Uianus and
Neptune to the original positions of those
planets, their equators never having baen
greatly tilted over by the capture of sa;el
lue. Jupiter' Obliquity the Cine
The small obliquity of Jupiter gave the
c ue to the caut-e at work, and the face
of the moon showed how all planet had
been pelted by falling satellites during the
immeasurable ages involved in the devel
opment of our solar system, which was
originally of much greater dimension than
at present. The solar system waa formed
from a splra'. nebula, the outer border of
which 'originally extended to something
like a thousand ttme the distance of the
earth from the sun. Most of the other
nebula of the heaven aj of Immense
extent, and Prof. See said he had proved
that the nebula which formed our solar
system was no exception to the general
rule.
In conclusion. Dr. See announced that
he had now proved that the planets had
been captured by the sun, and that their
orbits had been gradually reduced In slxe
and rounded up under the secular action
of a resl-tlrig medium; thnt the satellites
lkel-e had been rnrtured by their sev
enl plat ets, and h id had their orbits train,
formed In the same mmner; finally, that
the moon hnd been captured by the earth,
nd the craters on Its surface had been
formd by the Impact of satellites, when
the moon revolved among the Asteroid
or further nut. The time Involved In the
formation of the solar system was to be
reckoned In billions of years, and some
thing lil:e 4000X1000 years may have
c'.nrscd since the moon was captured by
the earth. In conclusion, he said nl'. the
rninclpal phenomena of the solar system
teie now fully explained In accordance
with known mechanical laws, and astrono
mers had Rained an unexpected light on the
origin of the systems of the universe.
ITALIAN HELD AT JAIL
AWAITING IDENTIFICATION
Man Believed to Itc l.onl Saeco
A welts Officer from
Pennsylvania.
Tracked by cousins of his victim, in
formation wag received In Omaha by th
rt.Ilce three months ago which led to the
arrest of a man believed to be Louis
Pacco. charged with tho murder of Car
mine f.'randenettl In July, 1902. Louis
Saeco. alias Vincent Panclno, was arrested
by Detectives Dunn and McDonald Friday,
but the Information regarding the crime
was not learned by the polle-e until Satur
day afternoon.
A party, which Louis Saeco, Carmine
Grandencttl nnd Pnsqualo Mercurlo, now
of Des Moines, attended In Manaca, Pa.,
resulted In" a quarrel. Saeco shot and
kll ed Carmine Orandenettl and wounded
a cousin of the latter, P.isqtinle Mercurlo.
The murderer escaped and was never seen
until last spring. Mercurlo, who wai
wounded In the flight, had moved to Des
Moines, and while seeking employment In
a railroad (Trading gang, paw and Iden
tified Louis Pacco. He spoke to Saeco
about the crime, but the latter claimed to
have no knowledge of the affair.
Mercurlo then went in search of an of
ficer to arrest Saeco. but the latter fled
before he returned with the officer. Mer
curlo then notified the cousins. Rosarlo
and Vlncenzo Orandenettl, of the affair,
and they notified the police.
Nothing more was seen of Saeco until
about three months ago, when he was
seen on the streets of Omaha by Vlncenzo
Orandenettl, another cousin of the mur
dered man and of the Des Moines rela
tive. Vlncenzo Grandenettl of Omaha
then notified the police, who have been
looking for Saeco, but failed to get any
trace of him. Saeco was seen on the
street Friday and the arrest resulted.
The sheriff of Beaver county, Pennsyl
vania, has btm notified and the local
police are awaiting Instructions. Saeco,
when confronted by Vlncenzo Grandenettl
at the police station yesterday, first re
fused to recognize him, but later finally
acknowledged acquaintance and a'volded
him. Rosarlo Orandenettl, a brother of
Vlncenzo, both of Omaha, was at the po
lice station, but did not know Saeco.
The crime wan a c6ld-blooded one. Saeco
possesses two 'city lots In Monaca and
hed more than $600 on deposit in one of
the banks of the -city when he committed
the crime, but1 he has failed to claim it,
thinking that the claim would give the
officers a clue fo his whereabouts and
result In his arrest.
Pasqualo Mercurlo of Des Moines, who
wj shot and Injured by Saeco when his
cousin w murdered, has been notified
and 1 expected1 to arrive here today to
ldsptlfy Saeco.'
The murder is said to be the result of
a family fued that began in Italy a num
ber of year ago.
OFFER $1,000 FOR SOLDIER,
REGULAR PRICE JUST $50
Uncle Sam Set High Value on Wil
liam I.nne, Deserter from Tvren-ty-Second
Infantry.
It does not necessarily follow that the
monetary value of a deserting soldier to
the government Is a mere $50, though that
Is the figure offered for the apprehension
of common deserters, who tire of doing
the work of a common laborer In addi
tion to the rigid military discipline exacted
from him, seeks other fields.
On the contrary there are some deserting
soldiers whose value runs up into four
figures as Is Illustrated In the case of
William Lane of Cornpany C, Twenty-second
United States Infantry, for whom the
War department offers a reward of $1,000.
Private Lane enlisted In Omaha for the
first time In 1301. He was an expert ac
countant and was always employed in
clerical work, and in a number of respons
ible position. He re-enlisted once or
twice and was finally assigned to duty as
a paymaster' clerk.
When the Twenty-second was finally as
signed to Alaska for duty Private Lane
was again made a paymaster' clerk at
the munificent salary of $16 per month
and found. He handled lots of money in
those frigid wild of the arctic and fin
ally about $11,000 of the paymaster' money
stuck to hi finger and before he could
loosen it, Private Lane took French leave
at Fairbanks, Alaska, In January, 1909, and
he Is Btlll on this sort of leave. Hence
the War department Is willing to let go of
one-eleventh of the amount If soma on
will Just locate Private Lane.

L FLYNN HAS HIS TROUBLES
Street Commissioner Explains Why
and Wherefore of Mud.
WHY STREETS ARE IN BAD SHAPE
ravine; Contractors, flalldla; Saner
Intendent and Irate Cltlsen
Combine to Make Life a Har
den to Cltr Official.
"Hardly any use of having men out on
the streets this sort of weather," said
Street Commissioner Flynn, sententlously.
"We are working the few men we have
day and night, but you can't see that they
are doing anything.
"For the benefit of a good many com
plaining people, let me be specific. The
crossings about Sixteenth and Harney are
exceedingly muddy and we put the flushers
on to clean them. Within a few minutes
city Inspectors of paving Joba and tho
superintendents of the contractor came
running up with waving arms and vocifer
ous conversation. The water runs down on
the new wqrk. and we have to stop. Tho
same Is true at Sixteenth and Howard, the
water Interfering with work at Seventeenth
street.
"Now these locations are the key to tha
cleaning situation. No use flushing Four
teenth street and the thoroughfares below
that unless we begin at the high points, be
cause the water will naturally wash all the
dirt down onto the streets below."
A short time spent In the office of the
street commissioner Saturday morning
proved that he certainly has things coming
his way.
"Not pleasant things, either," says Mr.
Flynn. "If I could cut each man of my
small gang In two or three pieces, sort of
Frankenstein them, arid have Mlchaelsen,
the electrician, galvanize the divided parts.
perhaps we could satisfy a few people.
Walter Raleigh Needed.
'The councllmen want cinders, the ladles
In muddy places want a brigade of Walter
Ilalelghs with magic cloaks, the men on
the Inundated streets want to kick some
body, tho council and the kickers want
economy, the newspapers want to have
fun with me, and here we are doing pen
ance for a world of sins that we cannot
by any possibility rectify or properly be
lie Id responsible for. But we come of the
fighting race and will not desert the ship.
I am seriously thinking of Inventing a
shovel that can be pushed down one street,
up another, crossways through an alley,
and softly push Its front over the nearest
bank of the Missouri, thus getting rid, at
one fell swoop, or scoop, of all the mud
and muck In tho town before breakfast.
Someone ought to write a song about
Mud Is Not the Only Tiling.' There are
waHhouts on streets that have never been
filled with the material the pyramids are
built of, and If we had the Giant's Cause
way at hand we couldn't make some other
places hold dirt. . Only the hand of Provi
dence would auffice. But we're doing the
best we can, and the public would readily
believe this If it knew the Intolerable dis
turbance raised at my home morning, noon
and night, as well as all the lovely noises
that are cracking the walla of this offfce.
One Official, Many' Kicker.
"Fair play Is all I aBk. Remember, men,
there 1 only, one street commissioner
against a regiment of kickers with sledge
hammers. The real center of attack should
be on the doors of the legislature, to have

i'OUNC BOY KILLS PLAW.E
Wesley MoBride Shoots Arthur Long (
Three Times.
ONLY FIFTEEN YEARS OF AGE
t on f ease to Deed, t lllmlns Flr
Shot Accident ' and Other aii
Effort to Raraiir Respon
sibility. Arthur Long, a boy of IS years, was shot
to death about 3:90 p. rn. Saturday near tho
Burlington tracks on the river bank below
Missouri avenue. Wesley Mcltrld. a son
of George MoHrlde, the ootinty surveyor,
fired the three fatal vhots Into the boy's
head for no apparent reason. Wesley Mc
Brlde Is about IS year old, as has been
determined by the Juvenllo officer, Paul
MacAulay.
The two boys and Andrew Jonashoit were
together part of the way. According to tho
story of Jnnasheit, Meitrlde had been talk
ing of using hi, gun several time on the
vay to the river bank, saying, "Shell I pot
him? . Shall I pot him?" lndlcatlti: Long.
Jorashelt said he became frightened and
I and
e'nue.f
I toldl .
returned to Thirteenth and Missouri avei
where h met several other boy and
tbem be was afraid Wesley would shoot' '
long before they returned.
All of the shots struck the boy In the
head. One went through the center of his
upper lip. another went through his cheek
and another through the right ear Into
the brain.
Mcllrlde Claim Accident.
MoBride' story waa that he was playing
with the revolver, twirling It around on his
finger, the finger being in the trigger
guard. The first shot hit Long In the
lips. He started to run, and McUrlde said
he was slezed with the thought that he
must kill him so that he himself could get
away. He shouted at Long to stop and
fired another shot after him. Thl failed '
to hit him. He 'then ran after the boy.,
headed him off and fired a shot whlclvT"
went through his cheek. Long then fell ,
to the ground and as he was on his hands
and knees crawling he fired the last shot
Into his brain.
The people who know the McQride boy
Intimately express no great surprise at tho
terrible deed. He has been considered a '
little unbalanced and odd. He has had a
mania for crimes of various kinds for some
time. Once he Is said to have held up the
hired girl at his own home while the fam- i
lly was away. He took several articles 4
from the house, Including silverware.
In this light the shooting Is a sad caso.
It Is certain that the boy had nothing
which Mc Bride could desire and there was
no apparent reason for the deed. No other
witnesses are known exce'pt th boy him
self, who was arrested shortly after tho
crime was committed. He made no attempt
at denial and after telling all the facts
asked what would be done with him. He
stuck to the story that the first shot was
accidental.
Confraae to Shooting;.
The body of Arthur Lung was eliacovereej
by two boys named McFarland and An
drews, who reported to the police station.
Officers J. F. Marvel and Hank Elsfelder
Investigated the case and turned the body
over to Ilea fey & Heafey. Th police ques
tlored the boys of the neighborhood and
when they discovered Long was seen last
with McBrlde they went In search of him
and found him at his home. 615 North Nine
teenth street, South Omaha. When thoy
bluntly accused him of the crime he broke
down after a few moments and confessed
to the shooting.
Wesley McBrlde was kept last night at
the city Jail In South Omaha, but will prob
ably be placed in the Detention home today.
The father of the dead boy is Alexander
S Long, Eighteenth and Missouri avenuo.
Arrangements for the funeral and coroncr'B
