MRS. L. W. BALL A
Another destitute family mother and
four little children has been rescued from
starvation by the Child Saving Institute.
Saturday morning Field Agent Gray
brought In from Decatur, Burt county,
Mrs. L. W. Ball, a widow, with her little
brood, and placed them under the protect
ing roof of the institute. The photograph
was taken upon arrival of the party at
the Webster street station.
Three years ago the husband and father
was murdered In Decatur, leaving the fam
ily penniless. The widow took up the bat
tle bravely and eked out a miserable living
by service as washerwoman, working most
of the time In a hotel and carrying water
a distance of four blocks. The strain be
came too great and the woman broke
down. As if she had not enough to bear,
typhoid fever attacked her, rendering her
helpless for months. Neighbors and county
officials did what they could, but the II-
ND II EH CHILDREN.
lage lacked facilities for caring for de
pendent children and finally an appeal was
made to the Child Saving Institute. As
usual, the response was prompt. Mr. Gray
brought the family down, accompanied by
one of the county commissioners. Mr. Gray
says he found the distressed family trying
to live In an old shack about IfixlG, boarded
up, without plaster, with wide cracks In
the door, which was fastened only with a
large wooden button. The structure was
Hitnply a granary, utterly unfit for the
habitation, of a human being. During the
cold winter months the mother and little
ones suffered Intensely from cold and hun
ger, the neighbors being able to help only
to a limited degree. When mother and
children were brought to the Institute they
were dazed and could not realize that the
place was to be their home for a time at
least. Employment will be found for the
mother and care given the children such
as they have never had.
THREE BOYS ARE YET IN JAIL
Twlrsr. Ktelnaa-rr and Iteland Mast
Anmrr Other ha ratre Investi
gation Is (entered on
Clark and Carr.
Little evidence of a tangible character
has been unearthed by the police working
on the Cohn murder mystery. Every clus
In connection with Ihe Identification of the
revolver dropped by the assassin has been
run down without success.
Detectives Maloney and Van Deusen are
still working on the case, but unable to
report new developments. Superintendent
Rosslter and his confrere. Lowell Spence,
of the rinkertons. will remain In the city
in an endeavor to clear up the murder of
Cohn.
While no new evidence In the case points
to the guilt of the three boys, Carl Deland,
Henry Stelngger and Lemuel Twiggs, they
are being held for other misdeeds.
Attention has shifted to the two ex-con-vlcts,
Clark and Carr, who stubbornly re
fuse to enlighten the police as to their
movements and whereabouts on the night
of the murder. Detective Stewart of the
Northwestern railroad has obtained a pic
ture of the men and Is sending copies
about the country for Identification. He
expects to connect the men with the rob
bery of the Northwestern train near Denl-
son. An officer from Lincoln Is expected
to Identify the men.

The crowns are faithful reproductions of
the originals, and although made of plated
gold and Imitation Jewels, they represent
an expenditure of $27,000. It required an
Infinite amount of perseverance and pa
tience to secure the ralntlngs and draw
ings from which they were copied. Visits
had to be made to the capitals of the sev
eral nations and permission secured for an
artist to sketch the Individual . crowns.
Often this permission was refused by the
official guardians of these treasures and
all sorts of schemes had to be adopted to
obtain the seal led privilege, j
The collection as it stands today Is of
special Interest to every student of the
world's history. If one desired to see the
originals he would be compelled to travel I
many thousands of miles, spend a large. I
sum of money for traveling expenses, and
even "then he would have his troubles, for
the crown of an Important monarch la so
carefully guarded from the public Rate
that only the favored few get a sight bf It.
'" Most superb ot all the crowns shown and
the most valuable In the collection Is the
crown of Germany. It Is simply a basket
work, of gems, containing 1,250 diamonds
and a sapphire cross in front. Around the
border are the Imperial eagles. The original
Is valued at t2,500,00.
Most Interesting of all, however. Is the
replloa of the crown which was placed on
the head of King Edward VII In London
at nis coronation, it is 01 gold, with a
cushion of royal purple. and a border ot
ermine. KacU rib of the crown Is studded
with a row of magnificent pearls, while
every other point biases with sapphires,
rubles and diamonds. The top Is sur
mounted by an orb and cross.
Russia's czar wears a huge affair twloe
as bulky as England's, set with huge ru
bles and sapphlrea Sweden's Is conspic
uous for Its Immense pearls, though the
crown Itself Is one of the smallest of the
lot.
The Iron crown of Lombardy Is the oldest
of all European crowns. It was made In
847. It Is a lleavy circlet of gold three
inches high, set with brilliant gems. Within
Is a narrow band, said to have been made
from nails from the true cross.
Beautiful Indeed and replete with senti
ment are the two crowns worn by N
pua-on ana josepnine. i ne empress was
a simple tiara of regal pearls set In
network of diamonds. In each Interstice
hung a pearl-shaped diamond, vibrating
with every movement. Napoleon's was
crown of golden eagles, surmounted by a
cross and set with sapphires and rubles.

Chicago Packers
File Demurrers
Their Attorneys Attack Sherman Law
Under Which Bills Are Filed as
Not Defining Any Crime.
CHICAGO. April 1 Demurrers filed by
the Indicted Chicago meat packers today
before Judge Carpenter In the I'nlted
States district court set up the contention
that the anti-trust art of 1800. under which
all monopoly suits are brought in the
I'nlted States does not create any crime.
The basis for this contention Is:
"That the statute does not define any of
fense against the United States with suf
flclent certainty to Inform the defendants
of the nature of the crime or offense with
which they are charged; and the same
Insofar as It undertakes to create a crime
is Invalid, void and contrary to the I'nlted
States constitution."
The demurrer, along this same line,
says:
"The description of the offense contained
In this section, on which the Indictment I
based. Is not one by which the defendants
were or are able to know, in advance
whether the acts were criminal or not."
Indictments also are attacked as of faulty
preparation.
