A SWEEPING. SMASHING, SACRIFICE OF ODDS AND ENDS
it
HrlRht wlih 'fctrle IlKhts anil cay with
the Ims of a wealth 'f flowers, the Au
ditorium cormtituU d ft flttlnK settinir for
"Society nlclit" of the automohlle show.
It m:Kht also be described as populnr night,
for the nie mblaKC exceeded hv far the
attendance seen at the exhibition since It
Open il.
Omaha. In all s-elion of In population.
Ik evidencing Interest In the undertaking
at'.d last nliiht, while handsome gowns, hats
In the latest styles, ami the raiment that
male society go s to Clnner In showed
that the "classes" were lindtrg their pat
rotiHK'!. these were after all mere scin
tillating points In tha vast throng. Close
to a lender of fashion wandered through
the aisles a sister of more moderate means,
but aeh had her beauty adorned by the
flower of the show and bv either a crim
son or white carnation paid homage to
the enterprise of the promoters.
There was no discrimination In the pres
entation of the floral gifts, except that
poor male humanity was barred. Hut not
all the males. The guardians of the public
ufety sported the colors on their manly
bosoms, sergeants and officers wore them
as proudly as If they had been the Car
niglo medal almost, and the feeling of
envy aroused led to an expedition tho re
sult of which was that ere long the carna
tion wan shotting a preference for no par
ticular gender and fair women and manly
men were decorated with the contributions
of thu hothouse. And so were many of the
cars.
XnprrnieHar of Show.
The spectacle the big hall presented was
gratification In excelHls to the promoters
of the show and It followed a day that was
the most encouraging In the point of busi
ness of any of the wef k. "From early morn
to dewy eve" the aisles were thronged with
dealers from all parts of the state. Never
has such a buying day been experienced
in the history of the show and the effect
of it Is sure to have Its Influence In the
growth of Omaha as a Jobbing center for
tha sale of automobiles. On every hand
was heard praise of the show and Its man
agement and the encomiums of none was
stronger than those of S. A. Campbell of
Boston, who, as representative of the
Jericho Horn company, attends every show
of Importance In the country from the At
lantic to the Pacific.
"Your show," said Mr. Campbell, "com
pares very favorably with that of Detroit,"
and C. S. Hedge, who represents the Powell
Supply company In the state of Nebraska,
Interjected: "Detroit Is the Garden of Eden
of the automobile world."
"Yes," added Mr. Campbell, "that Is so.
Detroit has hundreds of factories and when
Omaha can present the public with such
an exhibition it shows the position the city
is taking in this great and developing mod
ern industry."
Best In the West.
Similar testimony came from Mr. McFar
land of the Jones Speedometer company and
Mr. Ilarrlgan of the Warner Speedometer
company. "It's the best thow In the west,"
observed the latter, and the compliments
of all had their basis In the fine display of
high-priced cars.
One' of the cars which attracted a lot of
attention last night was the new Mercer
exhibited by J. J. Derlght. The car, which
was a little late in arriving, Is a medium
priced machine, but the parts are equal to
those of the highest grade In the market.
It has a seat on the side for tho mechani
cian. George Relm, manager for R. R.
Kimball, has sold two of the highest priced
cars In the show. A big tlx Stevens-Duryea
found a purchaser In W. II. McCord and
last evening a duplicate was booked to the
order of another prominent Omaha man.

George Relm, manager for R. R. Kimball,

What a r.olse the horns make. It Is
really deafening sometimes when the noise
of the thousands of visitors and the band
and the noise-makers of the four accessory
Btores are Joined together. In the Powell
booth Is a big horn with ten notes and the
artlat who handles it has learned several
tunes, which may be heard a considerable
distance down the street. One . salesman
claims a horn which has been distinctively
heard at a distance of two and a half miles.

"Murphy Did It." Hundreds wear these
ribbons at the show. They are I'ismbuted
by Murphy & Son, who have a truck ex

cars are located.
All the hotels of Omaha have been
crowded this week with visitors to the show
and It has been quite a task to provide
room for all so desiring. The Bhow has
been the greatest selling show of any ever
held In the west and the dealers are wear
ing that smile which won't wear off for
some time.

James W. Riley
the Innocent Boy
Bald, Bland, Suave and Svelt, He
Must Show that His Face is
Not His.
To James W. Kl'.ey, bald, bland, urbane,
suave and svelte, and withal of famous
name, the police accord the palm.
"Jim" In the air of Injured Innocence,
says that he did not forge the name of a
comrade In Jail tc a bad check passed on
an Omaha man Lifter his release. James
further says he was never arrested before,
that he is a har'l-working and abused man.
James Is going to the grand Jury. Ac
companying him will be a group of detec
tives and a collection of documentary facts,
including checks, questioned and question
able. Several months ago Mr. Itlley was ar
nsted by the police here and delivered to
the Iowa authorities for trial for forgery
at Albla. He did a term there and, while
In Jail at Albla, met Harlle Messenger, a
fellow prisoner.
Leaving Albla at the termination of his
sentence, Mr. Riley came to Omaha and
penned a check bearing Messenger's name,
which let Julius Kothholz, a restaurant
keeper at 503 South Thirteenth street, have
for It faoe representation In money.
"I've seen that face before," remarked
Captain Savage, chief of the detective de
partment, as he looked over the prisoner.
"Not on me," declared the prisoner.
"The man who wore that face did time
In Oklahoma," added the chief.
Itlley will go before the grand Jury on
Saturday.
J. G. Hill Will
Get His Share
Aged Man Receives Part of Estate
of His Brother, the Late
Lew Hill.
James O. Hill Is to have some be.neflt
from the estate left by his brother. Lew
Hill, who bequeathed a fortune of 350,00Q,
James O. Hill is a man of 75 years and
he has been a petitioner In district court
that he might get a little out of the estate
dining his life time.
Lew Hill left a peculiar will In which he
created a five-year trust naming his
brothers, Jamee G. Hill. John Hill, sr., and
tho children of his deceased sister as the
prospective beneficiaries. John Hill, Jr., a
nephew, was named trustee.
The will did not signify whether James
Hill and John Hill were to receive any in
come from the estate during the five years
and John Hill, Jr., refused to disburse any
thing. Now the court has ruled that James Hill
Is entitled to the income on one-third of
the $250,000 and the others similarly.
A point was raised as to whether James
(. Hill, John Hill, sr., and the others are
beneficiaries at present because of the
ambiguous wording of the will which reads,
"Give, devhe and distribute at the end of
the five years to my natural heirs."
The question arose "natural heirs now?"
or "natural heirs five years hence?" Judge
Sutton has held for the former interpretation.

DESERTED WIFE AND NEGRO
ON THE GRAND JURY STAGE
Pa tho and Comedy Enter Into Stories
Mingled with Tears and
Darkey's Humor.
Members of tho grand Jury have been
treated to alternate pathos and comedy, a
deserted wife's story being Interrupted
again nnd again Friday by tears, and Bos
ton Yusum, an old negro, being before the
Jury to explain how some stolen property
to found In his house.
"I don't Just know how them flour sacks
got In there." said Yusum. "Somebody
must have come In while I was away and
hid 'em."
One sack was found beneath a loung.
and another beneath a pillow on a bed.
Besides these there were a number of
wltiussis In connection v.Hh box car rob
beries, chief of whom was W. J. Stuart,
a special agent of the Northwestern line
Other witnesses of the 'day were Paul
Kimmel, who lives at 700 North Sixtei nt.i
street; R. C. Bruner. 416 North Nineteenth,
and Detective M. J. Sullivan. St. 11 on
other was John L. Emmet, who Is con
nected with the Bailey hotel at Ninth and
Farnam streets.
No evidence" of the sale of liquor in re
sorts has yet come before the grand Jury,
and there is no certainty that there w ll
be any. Elmer E. Thomas some time ago
had his staff of evldence-proourers at
work on this, but has vouchsafed no sign
since the grand Jury began work that in
dictments will be attempted.
MAGAZINE AGENT KEEPS
AWAY FROM DETECTIVES
Old Storr Is Told by Women Who
Par Subscriptions for Paper
that Never Comes.
A crook now working In Omaha needs a
manager badly. ,
With diligence and Industry together with
considerable Ingenuity he succeeded In
swindling two women out of $2.10 of which

perception and executive ability the de
tectives believe that this unidentified
gentleman has a future before him as a
grafter.

a well known fashion magazine, he ob
tained tho names of Miss Agnes Heldlng
and Miss Viola Wagner, employes of a mil
linery establishment. He then called at
their homes ar.d insisted that they had
directed him to call for the subscription
money.

has the money to take it if she wants it,"
answered one of the mothers.
"Your mother said for you to subscribe."

linery house.
He got the change, collecting $1.75 and
$1.35 each for his subscriptions.

DAHLMAN CHIEFS ARE BEING
PICKED F0REASY MARKS
Joe Butler and Tom Flynn Look
Good to Green Goods Gen
tlemen. Some of the local Dahlmanltes are sore.
And they have told the mayor so.
The soreness has been worked up as far
as it has gone because certain leaders of
the mayor's organization have recently
been taken for "come-ons" while passing
through the streets.
Professor Joe Butler, the uncrowned king
of the Eighth ward, who tests gas lamps,
is one of the innocieni victims. While going
about his business, a spectacle peddler
moved up on his starboard side and whis
pered that he had "Just found this pair of
gold eyeglasses, and you can have 'em for
a dollar."
"I could hardly believe that I was hear
ing well," said this unrequited potentate,
"so I took the man to the Dahlman club
rooms and asked the boys If I had any of
the marks of a rube about me. They
seemed to think I had, for they gave me
the laugh In chorus, and while I was argu
ing the matter they let the eyeglass fakir
get away." 1
Butler Insists that other members of the
democratic end of the city government
have been approached In the same way.
"Even Tom Flynn was tackled by one of
these chaps, and he almost bought before
he woke up," says the gas Inspector.
Flynn would not admit that he had been
picked up as "soft," and the mayor will
not say who has filed the kick with him.
As a result, however, all applicants for
street , permits are beflng closely questioned
as to their acquaintance with the demo
cratic city officials The mayor's secretary
is thinking of Installing a photographic
display of the mugs of the men that the
street workers must not try to work. '
