MAKES DISCLOSURES ON TRIP Makei Promise to Maloney that He WiU Tell All in Further Talks. DRESSED NEATLY IN BLUE SUIT m Arthur Hauser, accused of the murder of W. II. Smith, Woodmen of the World cashier, arrived la Omaha shortly after noon yesterday In the custody of Detective Maloney and Officer L. T. Finn. Maloney evaded a crowd which had gathered at the depot and the city Jail to see the prisoner. The party got off the train at Albright and In a private automobile was rushed to Omaha and directly Into the garage at the rear of headquar ters. Hauser was then taken .through an underground passage from the garage to the Jail, with the result that newspaper men, photog raphers and spectators were disap pointed. Several secured Just a glimpse of the fellow, who utterly belies the photographs published of him. The prominent nose and weak mouth are evident, but the man himself is bet ter appearing, decidedly, than his picture. Ha user Well Drfmrd. Dressed in a blue serge suit, with clean linen, a brown Fedora hat and well poi- shed shoes, the ape-man betrayed little of his Simian characteristics. He was handcuffed, and one foot was encased in an Oregon boot, but despite this fact he hurried more than the officers In an effort to avoid public scrutiny. There was a (rest scrambling of photographers to snap the fellow, but their efforts were of little or no avail. Promises to Tell All. "He asked that no one be allowed to take his picture, and until I have talked with him further his request will be (ranted," asserted the captain. "Neither will h be Interviewcd-at present. I have his promise that if his requests are met he will make a clean breast of every thing." Just what Maloney meant by "a clean breast of everything" he refused to di vulge, although he asserted that Hauser made some startling disclosures enroute from Wichita to Omaha. The party left Wichita last Mght and were escorted to their car by a number of plain clothes men. A crowd gathered at the Wichita, station in such volumo that the prisoner was taken through the baggage room to avoll it. Along the way word had leaked out that Hauser was on the train, but no demonstration was made (Continued on Page Two, Column Two.) Army Fliers Lose Their Way in Texas AUSTIN. Te.. Nov. 23.

LINCOLN, Nov. 23. (Special.) Whether it is the State university foot ball team or Joe Stecher, or whether it is a reputation for honesty that has put Nebraska in the top notch class with the financiers of the east, is not known, but according to information received by State Treas urer Hall, New York money dealers would be tickled to death to loan Nebraska several hundred thousand dollars and only charge 3 per cent Interest. They have written Treasurer Hall that "we would be glad to make a loan of (300.0VO to fX1,000 to the state of Nebracka for tlx n.onths at 3 per cent, with the understanding that it is to lie renewed at maturity at tho same rate as often as desired. This would not only put you in a position to take care of the excess demand on all loans In the various political subdivisions of your state, but, by taking these loans at 5 per cent you could make a profit of 114 Per cent." The plan looks good to Treasurer Hall from a financial standpoint, but the state not borrow money without an act of tho legislature and there is no law which will permit It to go Into the brokerage business. Knife Taken from Stomach of Woman CHICAGO, Nov. 23. The table knife which Mrs, Elisabeth Hochsberger finally persuaded aurtteons she had swal lowed whl!e In a delirium due to lllnesi eight months ato. was taken from her sterna' h today by an operation at' the WeU Bide hospital. The knKe was corroded and saw edged from the action of the stomach aclis, and physicians said that nature had made heroic efforts to digest tho. Implement. The woman rallied well from the operation. When she first told of having swal lowed the knife physicians said her story was a figment of the imagination, .but yesterday she prevailed upon them to use the X-ray, and the resulting photo graphs vindicated her.

HE WORKED UNDER PROTECTION CHICAGO. Nov. 23. Testifying today at the trial of John Halpln, former captain of police, on trial for biibery, "Jlmmy" Ryan, convicted c!alrroyaot,wlhtfJfcf, testified . that operating under police protection Bis P'oflts from clairvoyancy , between October, 1912, and March, 1913, amounted to between $60,000 and S70.000. This, he said, included Ms share of $16,600, which Mrs. Hope McEldow ney of La Crosse, Wis., gave him to invest in "copper stocks." In March, 1913, he said he went to his home in Wyoming, but was brought back to Chicago two months later by a detec tive from the states attorney's office. Ryan told of "working" under the alias of "Prof. Charles T. Crane" and of meeting in his brother Frank's clair voyant parlor, Walter O'Brien, a former subordinate of Halpln's and recently found guilty of bribery. "O'Brien is a nephew of Captain P. D. O'Brien, who was suspended last nlsht as chief of detectives on charges that he had been Instrumental In rals- Irur a forced fund for the defense of I his nephew and other policemen Involved I in the clairvoyant graft cases. John E. Northup, attorney for Halpln, charged that the suspension of Captain O'Brien had been engineered so as to intimidate policemen who might be called to testify for his client. Frank Johnson, jr., first assistant states attorney, entered a vigorous de nial to this Insinuation. Kyan testified that Walter O'Brien told him to go ahead with plans for an elaborate ''place" on North Stat street, but to "be careful" because In that lo cation he would be under the "bosa nose." Widows' Tag Day in Chicago Arouses Strong Protests CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 23.-Chlcago's charitable organizations today began a campaign to obtain Mayor Thompson's veto of a resolution passed by the city council last night setting aside Decem ber 14 as a "Tag day" for needy widows. The resolution provides that widows shall do their own tagging and retain all money collected. Aldermen would supply the necessary credentials. Those detained by Ill-health could provide au thorized representatives. The objection to the "Tag day" is that It would promote beggary and expose to Jibes and Insults women who appeared on the streets labeled "Widows." It la estimated there are 32,500 widows In Chicago, but the proportion of the needy ones Is not known.

Five Bulgarian cannon were raptured. LONDON, Ne"v72S. The latest newg from the Balkans has revived hope in England that Monastir may hold out long enough to enable the French and British forces to effect a Junction with the Serbians. The. Rome and London legations of Ser bia have received reports of a great Serglan victory northeast of Prlstlna, but aa these advices gtva neither de talla nor dates, there are doubts as to their Importance. It Is now believed allied forces which may take refuge on Greek territory are hardly likely to be subjected to attack from the rear. The most significant In dication aa to the present attitude of Greece Is contained in remarks made by M. Rhallts, Greek minister of Justice, who Is quoted In a press dispatch as hav ing complained bitterly of methods adopted by the entente allies. He argued that their tardiness In bringing effective support for the Serbians made Greek par ticipation Impossible. M. Rhallls declared, however, that the Greeks were determined to maintain neu trality and that the entente allies had no reason to fear danger If they should be forced across the Greek border. French Position Improved. The French military position in Mace donia la reported to have Improved. Tha assertion la made that the Bulgarians re tired to their positions after a vain at tack on the French lines. The seat of the Serbian government haa again been shifted, on thla occasion to Prlsrend, while the diplomatics corps has moved to Petch, Montenegro.
