QUEEN OF PICKPOCKETS
BELIEVEDT0BE TRAPPED
In Ethel Kennedy, alias Martin, being
held by the local police upon - the sus
picion that she is queen of a band of In
ternational pick pockets and sneak
thieves, the detectives think they have
one of the most noted women criminals
of the age.
Miss Kennedy is only 22 years of age
and is a strikingly beautiful woman. Her
favorite occupation is that of "stall" for
a pickpocket gang. She generally works
on crowded street cars and stands dl
rectly in front of the victim. When the
car turns she steps on his foot, rolls
her eyes sweetly and then' It happens.
According to Detective Donahue, the
girl Is wanted in half a dozen states for
grand larceny, complicity In bold bur
glaries and attempted murder. In the
"Detective," a monthly police publication.
the girls' picture is published in connec
tion with a New Orleans shoplifting case
in which valuable furs totaling 'nearly
84,000 were stolen.
At headquarters she gave the name of
Martin, but when Detective Donahue
showed her the photograph in the "De
tective" and the description, she laughed
and promptly admitted that she was the
same girl. The specific case upon which
she Is being held is on the complaint of
a Wyoming farmer who says while on
a street car here a month ago, he was
robbed of $150. Ha described the girl
and her arrest followed shortly after.
The complainant will be ( brought here
to testify against her.

COMMUNITY FOURTH IS SANE
Harney Street Families Spend a
Joyous Independence Day.
CONTINUOUS PK0GRAM IS GIVEN
From the Time Salote Is Fired Early
S In Morning- Until Pyrotechnics,
Are Touched Off at Night
. Not a. Dull Moment.
Forty families participated Thursday in
the celebration for West Harney street
residents. All day the street was a scene
of merry-making, the lighter amuse
ments being interspersed with serious
observances of the day.
The celebratton opened, early in the
morning, when a throng of parents and
children and grown-up brothers and sis-,
ters gathered at Thirty-fifth and Harney
streets and cheered while a huge Amer
ican flag was hoisted. Talking machines
piayed "The Star-Spangled Banner," and
the celebrants Joined, .in with the words
as the great banner went skyward and
the wind shook out lts,trl-colored folds.
A dress parade of children was the only
other event of the morning. Children of
all ages, each dressed in his or her own
conception of proper garb for celebration
of Independence day, marched up and
down the two blocks of Harney street be.
tween Thirty-fifth and Thirty-third. Some
wore colonial costumes; others military
uniforms patterned after those of '76; oth
ers dresses of modern design with the na
tional colors dominating, and still others
appeared in representations of the famil
iar caricature of "Uncle Sam."
Eleanor Schwart Lend Parade.
Eleanor Schwartz, two years old, headed
the procession. She rode in her carriage,
which was covered with red, white and
blue bunting and from which floated
myrald streamers of the same colors.
The rear was brought up by a troop of
little girls In male attire, boldly trudging
forward beneath a banner, "Votes for
Women."
In the cool arbor of the I. A. Medlar
home ice cream, 'cake and lemonade were
served after the parade and again in the
afternoon before the program on the lawn
of the George E., Mickel home.
There was no oratory. Miss M. Van
Wagenen, of the Miller school of Vir
ginia, read the famous poem "Old Glory,"
the question asked of the flag "Who gave
you the name of Old Glory T'. and the
banner's answer. Miss Blanche Sorensen
sang and was forced to respond to an
encorse. Henry G. Cox gave violin selec
tions and was called back for more. Reci
tations and , musical numbers by the
children compjeted the program.
After a short program of sports In

Random Shot Kills
Baby in Its Mother's
Lap on the Fourth
While sitting on the back porch of her
home at 1150 South Fifteenth street with
her U-months-old baby in her arms Mrs.
Frank Hasek heard a dull thud and felt
the little tot crumple up in her arms
last night at 8 o'clock. Glancing down at
the . baby she saw a stream of blood
pouring from a large hole in the right
side of the head made by a bullet
Tbi baby was rushed to St Joseph's
hospital, where it died this afternoon at
1 o'clock.
Sergeant Madsen arrested Erhll Svatos,
15 years old, who lives tn the rear of the
Hasek home, on suspicion of having
fired the probably fatal shot. Toung
Svatos had been seen shooting off a .38
caliber revolver shortly before the bullet
hit the little baby.
He denied all connection with the af
fair when arrested and said he did not
have a gun. He later admitted that he
did have a revolver and had hid it in
the basement of his home.
The Svatos family live right directly
back of the Hasek residence, and the
little child was within revolver range of
where Svatos had been seen shooting
shortly before the time of the accident.
Mrs. Hasek heard the report of the
shot but did not know her infant baby
had been struck by the bullet until she
felt the little tot topple over in her arms
and saw the streaming blood staining
the white dress.
Negroes Slash Men
Who Resent Firing
Candles at Horses
When Jess Cashin and Ed. Stegerman
objected to three . negroes shooting at
their horses with Roman candles at
Twenty-fourth and Burdette streets last
night about S o'clock they were badly
slashed with a. razor by one of the men.
CasKIn had two arteries in his right wrist
severed and, a gash two Inches long and
a half Inch deep cut in his left cheek.
Stegerman had his face cut under the left
eye.
The two men were attended by Police
Surgeon Vanderhoof, , who sent Cashin
to the St. Joseph hospital. Cashin lost
a large quantity of blood and It will be
several days before he will be able to
leave the hospital.
The two men with Steve Glascer and
and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stegerdan and
their six-weeks-old baby were in the
wagon.' As they passed Bhrdette street
the three negroes etarted shooting at
the horses with roman candles. Stegerman
and Cashin then Jumped out of the wagon
and started after the miscreants.
The horses became frightened and
started up, throwing Mrs. Stegerman and

SKYROCKETSSET .FIRES
Four Alarms Sent in, All Due to
Fireworks.
FOUR HORSES BURN IN BARN
Loots Long;. Teamster, Victim of
Heavy Loss Became Biasing; Stick
Descends on Structure Where
Animals Are Kept.
A blazing stick from a spent skyrocket
decended upon the roof of the barn
owned by Louis Long, 422 Hickory street,
at 1 o'clock last night and set fire to
the structure, causing the death of four
valuable draft horses and damaging the
barn to the extent of about $1,000.
When the blaze was discovered by
neighbors it had such headway that it
was impossible to get the terrorized ani
mals out and when the fire department
arrived the horses were all dead. Long
is a teamster.
At midnight the department was called
to 508 Poppleton avenue where the barn
belonging to William Carey, an employe
of the Union Pacific, was on fire. Here
one horse, owned by Joe Plcolo, which
was tied in its stall, was so badly burned
that it had to be killed a few hours later
by a policeman. The barn was not badly
damaged. What caused the blaze could
not be learned, but It Is supposed that it
is another case of the "safe and sane"
Fourth taking its toll. The total loss is
estimated at about 1200.
At 9 o'clock a fire cracker touched off
by small boys exploded near a bale of
hay in a barn In the rear of the resi
dence of Mrs. Anna Green, 2420 Charles
street, setting fire to the barn and caus
ing a loss of about $100. Quick response
to an alarm saved the barn from being
entirely destroyed, as It was full of in
flammable matter.
Another alarm was turned in from the
residence of Mrs. E. M. Lund, 3110 South
Eighteenth street, where a blazing sky
rocket stick set fire to the roof of the
house. The only damage done was a
small hole burned in the roof and a slight
water damage.
Pioneers Gather
at Riverview Park
Two thousand people spent the Fourth
of July at Riverview park, nearly 500
of whom heard the program given under
the auspices of the old settlers and the
remainder Joined in the search for the
vicious monkey which escaped from Its
cage three days ago and still, eludes Its
pursurers. After a while the searchers
wearied and spent the day drinking
lemonade.
Old settlers brought well-filled baskets
snd shortly after noon spread their tables
under the trees and enjoyed a bountiful
lunch. The program began at two o'clock.
R. S. Williams presided. The declaration
of independence was read by Mrs. R. E.
McKelvey. The German singers furnished
excellent music.
Mayor Dahlman delivered the address
of the day. He was Introduced by Chair
man Williams as the "best mayor Omaha
ever had." The 'mayor's speech was a
plea for making a bigger and better
Omaha, as one of the patriotic duties of
the citizens of the city. The women's
Concordia society closed the program at
the pavilion. .
Big Crop Looked
For in South Dakota,
"We look for record crops In our sec
tion of the country," said Don K. Foster
of Dallas, S. D., who Is associated with
the Jackson brothers In the upbuilding
of that new section of the state. "While
our section of South Dakota always has
ample moisture we have had an' extra
amount this year and the crops will
show it.
"Taft would have little trouble In being
elected If all sections of the country felt
toward him as the land owners In our
country. He is most popular there and
will receive a big majority."
Labbe Loses His
Pass Book and Passes
V. E. Labbe, traveling passenger agent
oi the Illinois Central, lost his pass book
while getting on a street car at Krug
park, about 8:30 last night It Is a black
leather pocketbook, containing .Mr.

telegraph franks, and no money. The
