Have Baby Christened Here
An atmoerhere of delicately beau
tiful sentiment will mark the pres
ence In Omaha this week of Mme.
Herthold HeFsc-Sprotte. who re
turns to sing at the munkal festi
val. Her many friends anticipate
that she will brina her yotinnest
daughter, a little mite of pink hu
manity with a rosebud mouth and
ten so,ulrmlnn toes that are likened
to clusters of peach tree blossoms.
Hesne-Sprotte has expressed the de
sire to her Omaha friends, made
during; her appearance her last
July, that the daughter, who came
In March, be christened here.
Her wish has been conveyed to a
Oerman minister, and In a joking
manner which Is marked by sin
cerity, she has aekel that tha
BaenKerfeat association accept tha
honor of sponsorship at tha christ
ening. Indeed It will! In fact,
there Is some rivalry among the of
ficers as to who shall becoma tha
little girl's godfather, but all ara
willing, after all. to share the honor
among them, share and share alike.
In fac t, the association has made up
a purse of In gold to be presented
to the Heaaa-Bprott heiress.

Police Expect to
Solve Blackmailing
Mystery in Few Days
Say They Think They Can lay Their
Hands on the Writers of
Threatening Letters.
New developments In the Smyth-Hoch-stetler
blackmailing cas indicate that the
matter will b cleared up without delay.
Both famtllea received threatening letters
within the last day or two and It is said
that sufficient evidence has been obtained
to warrant the arrest of th writers. The
police refuse to give out anything on the
matter, but it is understood th author
of the letter la' in the city and can ba
located at a moment' notice.
The solution of the matter will relieve
the stress of mind under which the Smyth
and Hochstetler families have been labor
ing since the first receipt of the black
mailing letters. The letters demanded
$2,500 from each family under penalty of
bodily harm to a son of the Smyth family
and a daughter of the Hochstetler..
LOAN SHARKSW1TH NEW PLAN
Instead of Hating: Warrants Assigned
They Secure Orders for Them.
TWO ARE PRESENTED MONDAY
City Trntarrr aad Comptroller ar
Ther Think They Can t Iream
vet Thle Move by Adopt
Ina 'New Plan.
Money lenders, who have been scalping
city warrants, adopted new tactics Monday
morning. Instead of filing assignments of
warrants of city employes, tliey resorted
to the presentation of orders, which directs
the city comptroller to deliver unsigned
warrants to the holder of the order.
Two such Instruments were presented to
Comptroller Cosgrove and the warrants
turned over to the money lenders. Here
tofore the comptroller has been delivering
the warrants under assignment orders,
which permitted the money lenders to take
the warrant to the city treasurer and get
It cashed.
City Treasurer Furay states that the
money lendera will have their troubles In
getting thee warrants cashed, however.
"I will not honor, any warrant unless I
know that the signature Is genuine. If a
warrant la presented for payment at this
office, I will have to be satisfied that It
has been endorsed by the person to whom
It was Issued. A notary's seal or a witness
L in tha alirnsturA will be all rlffht. nr else
the warrant can be signed In my presence.
'I have directed that warrants presented
for payment by others than the ones to
whom they are Issued be referred to me."
City Comptroller Cosgrove has formu
lated a schema to prevent th necessity of
Issuing orders. He says he will request
the council to pasa the payroll ordinance
on Monday afternoons. In this way it
will be possible to pay day laborers on the
job, lnatead of requiting them to come to
the office and get their warrants.
Often orders are given for convenience
sake, aays Cosgrove. Employes do not
like to take the time to come to the office.
To prevent such steps, he proposes to pay
the men while on the work.
