Mischievous Youths
Start $1,000 Fire
Fire thought by Assistant Fire Chief
Simpson to have been started by mischiev
ous boys, destroyed nearly $1,000 worth of
machinery and grain -bins in the Gate City
malt house at Second street and Wool
worth avenue yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock.
During the last six months the malt
bouse has been fired twice, and surround
ing circumstances both times point to In
cendiarism. Several years ago activities
at the place were stopped, but the
machinery and furnishings In the building
were not removed. A watchman guards
the pTace, but despite his efforts! tramps
and gangs of tough youths make their
headquarters there and these, the firemen
think, are responsible for the fires.
The property is owned by Gustav Peter
sen of South Omaha and is not insured.

Spanish Veterans
Have Wrangle Over
Message to Teddy
ATLANTIC C1TT, N. J.. Sept. 9.-Dur-ing
the first business session of the
United States Spanish war veterans' en
campment today there was a lively de
bate over a motion to send felicitations to
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. The en
campment had decided to send greeting to
President Taf t as the head of ,the nation
and to Governor Wood row Wilson as the
nead of the state government and a
motion was made to include Colonel
Roosevelt The (act provoked a halt
hours' wrangle which was ended by the
adoption of another motion to table the
Roosevelt amendment until after perma
nent organisation had been effected.
The annual report of Commander-in-Chief
Simmons, which was the feature of
the opening session, strongly advocates
the restoration of the army canteen, and
favors the maintenance of a national
militia reserve and the enlargement of
the navy. The report condemned as un
just the resolution adopted by the Grand
Army of the Republic at its last national
encampment declaring that the Sons of
Veterans should be the legatees of the
older veterans in the work of inculatlng
patriotism in the United States in pref
erence to any other patriotic body.
The feature of the encampment will be
the parade of Tuesday afternoon which
Governor Woodrow Wilson will review.
The governor will address the veterans
at night
Members of the women's auxiliary, of
which Effle M. Record Is president-general,
are here in large numbers.
Body of Mrs. Szabo
to Be Exhumed by
Order of Court
NEW YOkk, Sept . To determine if
possible whether death was due to any
other agency than drowning, District At
torney Rogers of Orange county, New
York, will cause to be .exhumed the body
of Mrs. Rosa Ssabo, an Austrian woman
who met death in Greenwood lake while
in a rowboat with Burton W. Gibson, a
New Tork lawyer, now executor of her
810,000 estate. The proposed autopsy will
embrace not only an examination for
wounds but a chemical analysis of the
contents of the stomach.
Gibson had the body buried under the
name of "Mrs. Rltter" In a cemetery near
Jersey City, but he has expressed his
entire willingness to have It exhumed.
According to Austro-Hungarian consul
ate detectives, they have found the
woman, who posed as Mrs. Rose Mens
ohlk, mother of Mrs. Szabo and bene
ficiary under the will. The contention
of the consulate Is that the victim's
mother was dead at the time the will
was ' drawn and' that therefore, the
waiver of citation purported to have been
signed by Mrs. Menschlk, is a forgery.
This phase of the case will be threshed
out before the surrogate on September 1?,
when a brother of Mrs. Szabo, now on
his way from Austria, will testify as to
his mother's death.

. ? ". , , . ',.
- Swlidled" or'""rfilKed" but "of $7,000 on a
fake horse race in Council Bluffs, ac
cording to his charge, Albert S. Hanna,
a wealthy Iowa farmer, started suit In
district court Monday to recover $3,461 of
the money whloh he says was stolen
from him by the alleged "mlkers." At
tachment against funds said to be de
posited to their credit in the First Na
tional bank was secured. Lewis names
the following as defendants: One A. J.
Lewis, one Casey, whose first name is
unknown to the plaintiff; one William
Simpson, and one Harry Gordon.
Criminal prosecution of tfle defendants
probably will be instituted, according to
Howard H. Baldrlge of Baldrlge, DeBord
& Fradenberg, local counsel for Hanna.
Mr. Baldrlge says his client has been
Swindled in a typical "miking"' game of
the sort practiced by J. C. Mabray for
several years. Maybray, and his well or
ganized gang, which operated all over
the west, made hundreds of thousands
of dollars by Inducing gullible men, anx
ious to get something for nothing, to bet
on fake foot races, horse races, prize
fights, wrestling matches and other sport
events, which were supposed to be
"fixed" for the gulUbles to win. When
the money was posted and the event
"pulled off," something always went
wrong, and the "mike." as the gullible
ones were called, lost his money. Three
years ago the federal authorities broke
up the gang and Maybray and several
others were sent to prison. Maybray
completed serving . his sentence months
ago and now Is at liberty.
"I cannot give details concerning the
case," said Mr. Baldrlge. "I may be at
liberty to do so later. The case was
given us by Mr. Hanna's attorney In
another city and we cannot furnish de
tails without first consulting him. "
Typical Mabray Case.
"I can tell you this much: The case is
a typical Maybray miking case. -Whether
the game was worked on Hanna by men
formerly with Maybray or by men who
are practicing the Maybray system I
don't Inow. I do know that they are
not amateurs. They are men old and
experienced In the game. In addition to
the $3,461, they got a note for about $4,000,
secured by mortgage on a farm In Mis
souit. A suit to Invalidate this mort
gage will be started In the Missouri
county in which this property lies.
"This .'a an outrage. We shall press
this suit and others. Something must bt
dona to these fellows to stop their oper
ations when they continue them in the
fate of prosecutions."
- Hanna's petition In the $3,461 suit does
not go into ' detail regarding the method
by which he was separated from his
money. He says merely that It was
stolen. Mr. Baldrlge's statement that the
case Is a typical Maybrty "miking" one
affords the beet suggestion as to the de
tails.' '

have any weight with anyone who knows
what life actually Is," said Mr. Boose- ,

thinks employers, if such a law were
enacted, would reduce the wages of their .
employes, to the minimum prescribed by
law. Buch a fear is utterly groundless."

mit it and justify themselves on the
ground that It was the only way they
had ' of defeating the nomination ' of

Whether you want
a situation, a cock, a
