proceeded to seaports to avail themselves
of the proffered transportation homo
have refused to accept, saying they pre

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 1. With a
blood-stained coat and a damaged Pan
ama hat In their possession, but only the
slightest clues "upon which to base a
theory, the police of this city worked
tonight upon the supposition that Paul
II. Thompson of Grand Island, Neb., one
ot the deputy fire commissioners 6f his
state, had met with foul play while on
a visit here. Detectives put on tho case
immediately after the finding of the
clothing under the municipal wharf on
tho Missouri river here late today had
succeeded tonight In finding but few
traces of tho presence of Thompson in
the city.
Itenrtstered Friday.
Tonight they were making an effort to
locato a young man whose name was
mentioned In a note found in tho pocket
of the coat.
Thompson registered at a hotel here
August 29. A detective working on the
case reported that a mold at the hotel
told him Thompson left his room at 9
o'clock this morning. The bed In the
room did not appear to have beon slept
In, but as It Thompson may have lain
on It a few minutes. The maid straight
ened the covers, and lator when she re
turned to the room the bed was in dis
order, as though Thompson hod returned
and again occupied it.
In the room was found a grip, such as
railroad conductors carry. It contained
only a shirt. A towel In the room was
stained, but the detectives were not cer
tain that It was blood upon It

Chris Thompson of Grand Island, Neb.,
who said he was the father ot the miss
Ing man, telephoned to the local police
lor details of tho case. After talking with
him the police expressed confidence that
the articles found were tho property of
the younger Thompson. Descriptions of
the clothing and other articles given by
the elder Thompson coincided with the
things In their possession, they said.
Mrs. P. H. Thompson, at Omaha, wired
tonight to the detectives to hold the coat,

In the hat was a two-Inch cut back ot
the crown, as if made with a sharp In
strument.

coat. .The stains appeared to have been
made by someone with bloody hands
handling the articles.
In the coat was fourld an undated let

Harney hotel, Omaha, and a letter from
John M. Morehead, governor ot Ne

ber of a lodge in Grand Island, Neb. A

that theater yesterday and any mishap
occurred atter that time.

The letter addressed to Mrs. P. H,

LINCOLN, Sept. 1. (Special Telegram.)
The Nebraska state fair opened this
morning most auspiciously notwithstand
ing tho parched condition ot things In
every direction as far as the eye could
see. The crops out in the state, in many
localities, are Just as good as ever and
this season has demonstrated that Ne
braska Is a big state and that a drouth
In one part docs not mean that the whole
state Is a loBer. In fact, as one looks
through the agricultural and fruit de
partments of the fair he can see little
difference from other years In the quality
and quantity of the exhibits.
Attendance Good' n Ever.
As soon as the gates were opened this
morning tho crowds began to pass
through, and at 2 o'clock this afternoon
some wero of tho opinion that the at
tendance was about tho same as usual
tho first day. So far the crowds are be
ing handled In good shape, but ot courso
the test will como later In tho week, when
the big crowds ot Wednesday and Thurs
day show up. These two days havo been
the big days ot the fair, according to
Tpast records, Wednesday being the big
uujr m tuwii ui uiu iusi live years, iubi
year the attendance topped all previous
yeais, being 3,000 larger than the same
day the year before, tho turnstiles tick
ing off 69,35.
Tho largest attendance ot any year of
the fair was also in 1S12, when KC,96i
people,were admitted during the week.
Grounds In Flue Shape,
Everything Is In readiness, liuwevar, to
tako care-of tho crotvas, no 'matter how
better shape to entertain all that may
corns.
Today bolng Old Soldiers' day, the
veterans were out in force and showing
up on every hard. Ohio headquarters
have beon established on the grounds
and are headquartcis for any old veteran
who desires to partako of the hospitality
of tho Ohio boys in blue.
Tho "kids" nave also enjoyed tlum
selves, as this day was also designated
as their day and they have been coming
in in droves.

A notlcable feature of the state fair
this year Is the Increased number of
rest rooms, where the tired and weary
people may Bit down and see other peo
ple worry around trying to seo all that
the state fair has to provide for the
sight-seeing' Individual.
Unfortunately, the big now agricul
tural hall hat not been completed In
time for this year's exhibition, but It Is
far enough along so that the colonade
has been roofed In and there Is plenty
of room around the huge building for
people to get in the shade.

British Jurist Delivers Epoch-Mak-in
Address InVCanr Respects,
DeallniK w!thLRUtianhlp
'MONTREAL, Que., Sept" fc-Tho ad
dress delivered this afternoon by tho lord
high chancellor of England, Viscount
Haldane of Cloan, formed the principal
feature of the meetlncr of the. Am.rin
Bar association. Tho audience, which
completely filled the Princess theater,
included many of tho great lecal llirhts
of tho western continent and several
from Europe. Lord Haldane'a tnomo was
"Higher Nationality a 8tudy In
and Ethics."
It was In many ways an epoch-making
speech, dealing, aa It did, with tho re
lationships of three great nationalities.
The lord high chancellor told how British
law in the early days largely was vested
in the sovereign of tho realm, who hod
associated with him the lord hlc-h rh.n.
cellor aa the executive ot the king's Jus
tice. The ancient law was based upon
experience rather than urjon lnorirv hA
raid, and this fact had influenced the
laws and the constitutions of the three
great nations, England, France' and
America.
Fenr of Public Opinion.
The speaker argued that the great force
that actuated mankind in observing the
law was not fear of tho officers of Jus
tice, but fear of public opinion, and that
therefore publio opinion tended, more
than the arbitrary execution of Justice,
to restrain men from lawbreaklng. De
veloping tma argument, Viscount Hal
dane proceeded to suggest that the samo
policy might possibly be adopted by na
tions, and that the time had come when
nations might be as much ashamed to
follow the ancient methods of settling
differences and disputes as Individuals
imvo uevomo in late years.
Form Unique Group.
The lord chancellor bea-an bv mnhft-
Blzing the fact that the United States,
wanaaa ana ureat Britain, together form
a unique group, because of the common
Inheritance of traditions, surroundings
and ideals, and particularly In ti,
of Jurisprudence. He declared that law
yers are called on in days that He in
front to mould opinion and encourage
the nations of this group to develop and
recognize a reliable character In the ob
ligations they assume toward each other.

Cnnt Theln1 Votes.
At a regular old fashioned political
meeting with those who attended perched
on broad planks which rested on kegs of
nails and tool chests, the West Leaven
worth Improvement club last night de
cided to take action requesting that Elec
tion Commissioner Moorhead Install the
polling plnco for the fourth precinct ot
the Eleventh ward at the old location
at 3S83 Leavenworth In plaoe ot the pres
ent location at Dewey avenue and Thirty-eighth
avtnue.
W. T. Unman, the president ot the
club, suggested that some action bo taken
In tho mattor and after M. Terkelson
had made a rousing speech, the club
decided to take the action According
to Mr. Terkelson, who Is a member of
the election board, the new polling place
Is decidedly to the disadvantage ot the
voters He stated that, although Mr.
Moorhead had made tho change In loca
tion to please a fow of tho arlstocratla
citizens of the West Farnam district,
not one out of ten of the aforementioned
citizens took the time and trouble to
vote at the recent gas franchise election.
Cnnlil Not Find Tlootli.
Mr. Human, In speaking ot the trans
fer, said that, when he went tc the lo
cation to vote, he was unable to find
the location, but after Inquiring and
walking around he discovered a rag
tacked on a tree proclaiming the Fourth
district of the Eleventh ward. But even
then there was no sign of a voting
place. Eventually he learned from a
small boy that the voting booth was lo
cated In a garage In behind a large
house positively out of view of any pas
sernby. In addition, a large machine
was stored In the garage and tho owners
refused to rcmovo the car wbon the vot
ing was In progress.
The club unanimously decided that the
West Farnam voters, for whom the
transfer was made, were In a better po
sition to go to the Leavenworth polling
place In their automobiles than were the
common citizens who owned no such
means o'. locomotion and a resolution
asking tho election commissioner to place
the voting booth back at the old location
was drawn.
Ratify Car Kxtcustnn.
The club, also, appointed a committee
of ten to confer wth the city commls
sloners and the executive board of the
street railway company at 9 o'clock this
morning with regard to the proposed ncr
line extensions. The club ratified the
extensions of the company, which call for
a line running west from Leavenworth
street on Forty.elghth street to Popple
ton avenue nnd then west on Poppleton
avenuo to Fifty-first street nnd then
south on Fifty-first street to Center street
nnd west on Center street to the car
tracks which are located at Fifty-ninth.
The ratifying petition contained the sig
natures of some 200 west end citizens.
The committee which will confer with
the street car company consists of J. W.
Towle, John Wlsler, T, E. Brady, J. W,
Russell. C. R. Coughlan, R. H. Randall.
A. M. Jacobson, Peter Madson, Alfred
Mitchell and F. T. Davie.
The club decided that It would meet the
first and third Mondays of each month
throughout the ensuing year. Some sug
gestions of subjects to be brought be
fore the club at future meetings were
concerning the paving of Leavenworth
street west to Elmwood park and police
protection In the neighborhood. A patrol
box la located at Forty-fifth and Leaven
worth streets, but according to members
of the club It was wrecked in the Easter
tornado and the key was blown away.

"There never was a time when man

does not hurt his feelings to see the
woman working who Is making only '
dollar a day, but he hates to see her get
110,000 a year."
Bho lamented the fact that as yet so
small a per cent ot the women workers
ot tho country are organized Into trades
unions. "It is the work of you women
right here In Omaha to see that you
organize tho women ot the restaurants,
the candy factories and other establish
ments to see that they get the wages and
hours due them. Ever since I came to
Omaha I have heard about your nine
hour law for working women, Tlier
everywhere somobody is telling me thi
girls don't like that law, that they wouh
rather work twelve and thirteen hours
day. Well, that Is the same old story
you always hear. It means that the
bosses aro organized and the girls are not.
It Is tho beaten down laborers, the peo
ple who work fifteen and sixteen hours
a day, that can't be organized and are
easiest handled by the boss, and the em
ployer knows It, and trlea to keep them
In that class."

Dnhlinan Delivers Address.
Mayor James C. Dahlman delivered
the address ot welcome. "I believe that
years ago," he said, "tho men who or
ganized the unions could see farther
tharr I could. They could see that it
was necessary to organlzo in order to
protect labor and give them certain
wages and certain hours. There Is still
a great battle to fight. I believe the
great men and women In the lead in the
fight have done about all that can bo
done for you In thU fight and that it
Is now up to you to keep up the organ!-
