sllo tnnt Crushed SUnll.
Edward J. Carvill, known a "Teddy,"
a 11-year-old youth, living at 910 South
Twenty-fifth avenue, faces a possible
murder charge because he took part In a
tight Friday night In which he had no in
terest He la said to havo confessed to
Police Captain Michael Dempsey that he
threw a brick at John Gaard, 45 years old,
when .tho latter fled under a volley of
bricks and blows from a cans of youths
at Twenty-fourth and Leavenworth
streets, and was later picked up with his
skull crushed. Gaard la still alive In
the city ward of SU Joseph's hospital,
but physicians say his chances for life
re alight.
The story, said to have been told to
the polio by Carvill, la that Gaard. who
Is an expressman living at 2402 Pierce
street, and Ed Mlnlkus, X3IS South Twen-ty-fourth
street, quarreled near the for
mer's stables. A crowd gathered, and
when Gaard refused to fight, some one
threw a brick which crushed the express
man's skull.
' Arreat Young Carvill.
The police arrested young Carvill, Fred
Compt&n. 1008 South Twenty-second
street; Harold Whitney, 2503 Leavenworth
atreet; and Mlnlkus, who are being de
tained as material witnesses. All are
young men. ranging in ages of between 16
and -23 years.
Each of the prisoners denied throwing
the brick except Carvill, who, under a
relentless cross-fire of questions by Cap
tain Dempsey and Detectives Fleming
and Murphy, admitted throwing one brick.
He said there were other bricks, thrown
as well, and that he was not sure which
brick struck Gaard.
Carvell Is the eon of a well known
butcher, and has been employed by a
commission firm In the wholesale dis
trict. He Is large for his age, and the
police for this reason kept him In the
city Jail instead of the Juvenile depart
ment, cfaard is a married man with several
children. He has been engaged In the
express business here for a number of
years. ' During a brief .period of con
sciousness he told the authorities that
the attack upon him was entirely un
provoked and that his assailants are
members of the gang that has been ter
rorizing the vicinity of Twenty-foUrth and
Leavenworth streote for the last few
months.
Four of the boys elgnca written etate-
Mrnli nilnrav. Tha MtnlkUe boyS.
Matt and Edward, are nephews of the
Injured man. and stated that the fight
had arisen over Gaard's striking Ed wl(h
his fist after saying he was going to
"clean Up" the whole Mlnlkus family.
Harold Whitney asserts he had had no
active part In the proceedings and merely
entered the crowd to witness the affair.
Fred Compten declared that Carvill and
Ed Mlnlkus both threw bricks at Gaard,
but -was unable to state which missile
struck the man on the head. AH four
lads will bo held pending developments
of Gaard's condition.

RANGING IN PRICE FROM
$19lto 32i2
Wants Police to
Help Him Get Back
His Fourth Wife
Mr. Maloney, I would like to borrow
a detective for a short time," declared an
excited Individual rushing into the sano-
tuary" of the chief of detectives, Friday
afternoon.
Aftrr several false starts, the nentle-
man disclosed his identity by stating he
was Hans Tlmm, aged 20 years, a promi
nent teamster of the city, who several
hours before had taken, with the aid of
Justice Britt, Miss Lettle Mcintosh, aged
19 years, to be his lawfully wedded wife.
It seems that upon arriving home with
his bride, they had scarcely crossed the
threshhold, when "deary's mamma" hove
to, smacked Lettle across the face with
the palm, of her hand and proceeded to
drag her from hubby's protecting roof.
Mr. Tlmm feebly objected to this pro-
ceedure, but upon being informed by
"mamma" that she would belabber his
features If he butted in, he subsided, de
termined that one of Mr. Maloney'a
valiant sleuths should "bring his bonnlo
to him."
Mr. Maloney tearfully informed Tlmm
that according to the laws of the state
and Oskaloosa he would be unable to re
call the kidnaped frou, but with the tt-
of several lawyers he might obtain a
writ ot habeas corpus, extradition papers
or an Injunction and regain the better
half of his domicile.
Hano at thcue cruel words wratbfully
departed. After Inquiring into the affair,
the startling disclosure was revealed that
this being Tlmm's fourth wife, Mrs.
Ilella Mcintosh, who Uvea at 2532 South
Twentieth street, objected to the union.
The deserted husband la the son of tho
late Hans J. Tlmm, who for many years
was a constable in Omaha.
Accommodates Man
Who Keeps the Cash
Ben Hlrschwell, colored, of Minneapolis,
la out 45 as the result of his having!
trusted a strange negro with that amount.
Hlrschwell arrived In Omaha Saturday
morning and meeting with the stranger
was persuaded to turn over the money,
which the latter said he wished to secure
a hundred dollar bill coming to him from
his employer, who owed him IS6, back
pay. The stranger promised to be "'right
back," but is evidently still making
change, as Hlrschwell reports to the po
lice that he haa not seen him since.

Bailroada Decide to Combat Any
Suoh Action of Commission.
CALL THE OUT CONFISCATORY
Redaction Wan 'Ordered' Home Time

Decision in Minnesota
Rate Cne.
The Nebraska railroads will fight any
attempt the Btqto Railway commission
may make to enforce order No. 19, de
signed to reduce freight rates within
the state 20 to CO per cent, the proposod
reduction depending upon the classifi
cation of the shlments.
Attorneys Loomis and Rich of the
Union Pacific have returned from" Chi
cago, whero Friday they attended a
meetlnr of the freight trafflo officials
and legal representatives of the roads
operating in Nebraska. At this meeting
it waa unanimously decided that all
roads operating In the stato should re
sist the order pf the Nebraska commis
sion. The commission haa set October 9 as
tho date when the railroad freight trafflo
men are cited to appear at Lincoln and
show cause why order No. 19 should be
be applied. The railroad people will be
on hand with their showing against the
order. It tho commission decides to apply
the rates provided for In the order, an
appeal will bo taken by the railroads
and tho case will go to the supreme court
of the United States or a final adjudlca
tlon. This was the decision at the Chi
cago meetings,
Line of Action,
Messrs. Loomis and Rich left Chicago
before the conclusion ot the meeting.
All of the freight trafflo men and most
of the attorneys remained for the pur
pose of figuring out the line ot action
to be pursued In carrying on the legal
light that will be necessary In resist
ing the order.
Railroad men are greatly exercised over
the decision of the Nebraska Railway
commission and look upon the hearing
at Lincoln as the first step In seeking
to enforcing order No. 1. They un.
hesitatingly express thepphitQn that
should the commission finally win In the
long drawnout litigation that is bound
to come, Nebraska roads would be prac
tically put out ot business and only
those doing a large volUme In Inter
state trafflo could exist. They say that
the enforcement of the order would
destroy all jobbing conters and. tear
down the cities and towns that aro not
supported wholly by local trade. In ad
dition they say that such lines as de.
pend upon local business would not make
enough money to pay operating expenses.

Recall of Pistol
Favored by Women
Who Fear Robbers
Mrs. Mary Church want to recall the
pistol. She is not circulating a regular
recall petition, according to the rules
that govern such pastime, but she la
diligently speaking to railroad men, com
mercial club heads, business men, pawn
brokers and others and Is even prepar
ing a letter to President Wilson and
Secretary of State Bryan, asking them
for legislation abolishing the revolver
and prohibiting the further manufacture
of small firearms that can be con
cealed In the clothing.
"If we didn't have pistols we wouldn't
have holdups," she says. "A man couldn't
hold up a whole train of people with a
knife. If he should draw a knife I woutd
Jerk out my hatpin and go at his eye,
like this," and she did a noble thrust
a, la French duel.
Mrs. Church lives at Twenty-first and
Harney stret She has .traveled widely
and says she Is In deadly terror of her
life when she travels on account of the
train robbers.
"I have been robbed myself in Omaha,"
she said, "and I taw two other women
robbed and held up In broad daylight on
thu streets here." She Insists that alnee
the pistol haa no other function except
to kill human beings It has no longer
any place In civilized society.

Omaha Looks Good
to George H, Kelly
After Trip Abroad
"Ton bet Omaha looks good to me,"
said George II. Kelly, president of the
Commercial club, on returning from Eu
rope, where he spent the summer. "No,
It waa only a vacation trip," ho said,
"and the committee business in regard to
the Anglo-American exposition was
merely a kind ot a side line for me."
He spent his time In Paris, London,
Switzerland and other points of interest.
He says that the exposition grounds
and buildings where tho 1911 exposition,
to commemorate the 100 years of peace
between Great Britain and America is
to be held, are laid out and planned
much after the plan of the Omaha Trans
mlssieslppl exposition. When ho first vis
ited tho grounds In London he remarked
on this fact and waa told by the man
who waa showing hlra around that a
great deal of Information gained at the
Omaha exposition tn a five days' visit
was used In designing the grounds and
buildings for this one.
Mr. Kelly saya there are 7,000 purchas
ing agents living in London permanently,
who represent business houses from the
United Btatcs, France, Holland, Spain and
other nations. "I believe," he aaya, "that
the coming exposition would be of great
value to all firms of the United States
who wish to find a market abroad."
