THE OMAHA SUNDAY HEE: SElTIftiBEtt 22. 1912. 9-A Council Bluffs MABRAY GIYENA CLEAR BILL Attorney General Cosson Enters a Dismissal in All of the Cases. ALL OTHER DEFENDANTS LET OUT Council Bluffs Council Bluffs End ( the Prosecattoa Growing Out of the Bis Store Swindle U Reached and the Lltiga ' tion Ended. So far as the. Iowa laws and the federal statutes are concerned, John C. Mabray has been absolved from all anxiety in connection with possible additional pros ecutions that might grow from his "big store" business. George Cosson, Iowa's attorney general, came to Council Bluffs yesterday and dismissed all of the indictments against Mabray pending In the district court, as well as all of the pending indictments against other members of the swindle syndicate. Ma bray has squared his account with the government by serving his sentence in the Leavenworth federal prison. There were twenty-two Indictments pending against A Mabray upon which ha might have been tried, for (he was jointly indicted with nearly ali:'Of the .others who were held by the Pottawattmie county grand jury. At, the conclusion' . of the Mark's trial last winter, which resulted in his acquittal, lit was intimated bjMhe- attorney general, that the other .indict ments against" Mabray might eventually be dismissed, but he refused to say at that time that ! he would do so beyond declaring that "it would be travesty on justice" to further punish Mabray after he made goe4f every promise to help convict Mark, That trial cost the tax payers of Pottawattamie ; county- more than 12,000, and to rhaye prosecuted all of the other cases would have cost more than $100,000. Protests against such .ex pense and the pressure brought to bear upon County Attorney Capell made him anxious to dismiss the indictments, but he declined to take the responsibility of doing so. Judge Woodruff notified the county attorney's office some time ago that he would like to have the cases dis posed of, and the matter was again laid before Attorney General Cosson. He eame to Council Bluffs yesterday, and during the afternoon dismissed all of the'cases against Mabray and all of . the "mlkers" Indicted here. Seventeen Defendants. . i The list comprised seventeen defendants and included the second1 Indictment against' Marks and one against E. C. Moore, who is to be sentenced by Judge McPherson today. It also fncludes two indictments against. W. D. Godfrey, who came here from Illinois to testify for the state in the Marks trial. The' others are: T S. Robinson, larceny and consplraey; T S. Robinson and d Leach, alias Riley, cpnspiracy and, larceny; T- 8. Robinson and Ed Leach, alias A; Riley,- conspiracy and larceny; Barney Martin, greeny and conspiracy W. D. Godfrey, larceny; W. 'K Godfrey; amis W. H. Graham, la ceriV ind:con'spTr'acif Goarga .' spiracy and larceny; Lucius B. Hlndman conspiracy;' Eddie K. Morris, larceny and conspfra6y; Benjamin Marks, compound ing si felony, and .Mabray and Moore for conspiracy. In all of the cases. In al most all of the cases each indictment represents tw counts, each constituting a- separate Indictment. The order In the Moora case will not be entered until after Judge McPherson imposes his sentence to day. In tli dismissal of the indictments againBt Mabray, Attorney General Cosson told Judge Woodruff that It would be al most Impossible now to get witnesses br , ' ,.' ... . f h paaca ajcalnst the chief of the gang; that ha had served thirteen months in Jail while awaiting trial and had served his term in the fed eral prison. He also told the court that he believed from the reports that Mabray was now trying to lead a life that, in a measure, atoned for the past. In re ferring to the indictments against Moore, " the attorney general told the court ha would be satisfied tf Moore received a penitentiary sentence, and if Judge Mc- ' Phersoa imposes such a sentence .today, dismissal of the state court Indictments will be entered.

There were a number of bids filed, but those of Julius Jensen and C. M. Pennell were the highest and they were sold to them. Jensen bid $352 for the double wooden, building known aa 43 and 48, and Peiuiell bid $188 for the two story brick buildings known as the Cole Hardware company's building, located at 41 South Main street, and $80 for the dwelling house on Fourth street.

City Must Spend Cash If it Holds Land Under the conditions of the donation of land by General G. M. Dodge for the new river front park, not Jess than $4,000 must be expended within the next two years in improvements. Park Commis sioner Graham said yesterday that plans were now' being matured to begin this improvement next spring, Unless the amount specified Is expended within the period designated, title to the forty acres given by General Dodge will not be per fected. ,- . -(The plans under consideration relate wholly to the Improvement of the por tion tying south of the street railway tracks, and as the improvement desired by General Dodge required the construc tion of a boulevard extending from the Union Pacific bridge to- the car line, all of the $4,000 will be devoted to Jhe build ing of this roadway. The specifications for the boulevard provide for a roadway along the river front, elevated two feet above high water, and to be 100 feet wide, with a forty-foot roadway. The boule vard will start from the north side of the Union Pacific grade, and extend northward to the street railway bridge, passing beneath the structure west of the first abutment, . where it will end for the present, but will 'eventually b carried along the river front to Lakeview park. The estimate is that It will re quire all of the $4,609 to be Imedlately expended- upon the Dodge tract to con struct this boulevard. The condemnation process by which the land north pf the street railway was acquired Included the acquisition of the right of way for this boulevard to the north line of the 40-acre tract thus ac quired. The carrying out of the whole boulevard plan will Involve an expense Of approximately $40,000. It will prac tically place the entice river front within the control of the city. Ultimately tha unsightly tract oftand, willows and wild vines will b converted Into one of the beauty spots of the city. The money for the property acquired by condemnation has- been withdrawn from the park fund and paid over td Sheriff MeCaffery; The total amount Is $ll,$lo.4S, and after $4,900 has been ex pended it will give the city title to 132 acres of land. The total cost of the sheriff's Jury was only $29.20 THE LARGEST Canning companies in California always can the Salway peach for their choice fruit. Wo have them on salo today at 70c case."

Automobile Authorities Admit That the Doom of the Troublesome Pneumatic Tire Has Finally Been Sounded! How the Tire Problem , Has Been Solved Everybody knew that sooner or later the ter-, rific expense and annoyance of the air-filled tire would .be done away with. . Thousands of solutions' have been offered tried and discarded. . . Then ESSENKAY was discovered. It was the result of twelve years of constant experiment. Before it was placed on the market it was subjected to every test that the best. lab oratory experts in the country could devise. Cars were equipped with Essenkay and run for months under the severest road' and weather conditions imaginable. It emerged from this baptism of fire - a triumphant success. Then, and not until then, was it offered to the public The Automobile World Taken by Storm The natural .skepticism caused by the previous failures had to be over come. We did it by making an offer so liberal that the car owner could not afford to refuse it. Today the whole automobile world is ringing with the merits of Essenkay. The very mem who were doubtful at first are now the most enthusiastic "boosters" of' all. , The tire problem haa undoubtedly been solved solved beytmd any ques tion of a doubt finally sad for all time to ceme. The One Perfect Substi tute for Air '- ay A " 4 t w ta i m . ll Blow-outs, punctures, slow leaks, rim cutting all i the multitude of troubles which drained the 'pockets and Zl. luarrfd the pleasure of motorists all these -are ..past j: history elnce the romlng of Essenkay. 10,000 to 12,000 miles on one set of casings la not merely a possibility- t but a regular filing. ' J; Its resiliency Is phenomenal. The easy, shock-free ';' riding qualities of cars equipped with Essenkay are most ;f striking. Neither heat, cold, moisture nor pressure can ; affect it or cause It "to alter Its shape or conatetency In .J the slightest. The severest tests, continued over a period j of more than a year, have 'established this fact beyond ."? any jjuettUon. ; Essenkay Is actually cheaper than air. Net only do . we guarantee to increase tire mileage but, besides, the expense of new inner tubes, repair bUis, etc, is -entirely done away with. And the first cost is the whole cost. ." , i We do aot.know yet how many sets of casings Essenkay ' will .utwearA- it oeema Indestructible.

Glasses if they ara not from Latftrt'i they ara not the bast Henning's Body Fully Identified The nude body found more than a week ago on a sandbar in the Missouri river below South Omaha was yeaterday identi fied as that of Frank Henntng, the miss ing Union Pacific rate clerk, who disap peared two months ago. The body had been taken In charge by the coroner ot Barpy county and after trying In yaio to find some clew that might lead to Identi fication burled it at Papllllon. ' After reading the description of the body as published In Tha Bee at the time. Mrs. Hennlng was impressed with the conviction that the dead man was Mr. Henning. Tha belief was not shared by Other members of the family and an in vestigation was not immediately made. Mrs. Henning's correspondence with the Barpy county coroner strengthened her conviction and she arranged to have the corpse disinterred. This was done yes terday, when Mrs. Hennlng, accompanied by Mrs. Green, wife of Dr. W. M. Green, Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Evans and Mi. Brandt, viewed the remains. Mrs. Hennlng was able positively to Identify her husband by the upper teeth and those that were missing. The body also further conformed to that of her husband, and she returned lust evening so fully convinced that arrangements were made last evening for flie return of the remains here for burial if it can possibly be done, which will be decided after Un dertaker Woodring makes an Investiga tion today. Mr. Henning was last seen alive eight weeks ago tonight. He was then on Broadway going west. As westbound rate clork for the Union Pacifio at the transfer he had been doing more than his usual work for several months and several times his friends noted evidences of physi cal breakdown. He had been doing much extra work at the office, and had ar- rnnped to work two or three hours cxtia oni the evening of Suturday, July 37. When he left home it Was for the pur pose of going to the 'office. He "com plained groetly of the excessive heat and told Mrs. Henning that the temptation was almost irresistible to go to the river and take a swim. On Sunday afternoon his coat, trousers and underwear were found near the river bank south of the street railway bridge, with his fine Bold watch and some money in the pockets and some tags lying nearby that were thought to have been removed from new garments.. On the following Monday aft ernoon his slioes and stockings and hot were found behind one of the billboards on the north side of the track. The con viction of his friends that he wandered away In a state, of mental aberration after changing his clothes was not shared by Mrs. Henning, who believed he had gone into the river fur a swim as he spoke of doing and was drowned. Mr. Henning was 38 years old and Is survived by his widow and two children, boys, aged 4 and 6 years. He was a mem ber of the Eagles, Knights of Pythias and Sons of Herman.
