THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2D, lf16. 5 SWINE SHOW IN BIG HORSE BARNS Problem of Location for Big Event ii SoWed by Everett Buckingham. TO BE HELD HERE IN OCTOBER T. F. Sturgeon, editor of the Twen tieth Century Farmer, returned from Chicago, where Omaha was definitely decided upon as the location for the National Swino show. This show will be held either during Ak-Sar-Fen week or the meek immediately following. While In Chicago Mr. Sturgess met with the committee from " the National Swine Growers' association and presented to them the many reasons why Omaha should b the location of this great rhow. "Flv. cltls were after the swine show tt. Louis, Kansas City. l Moinea, Waterloo, la., and Omaha." said Mr. Eturirrss. "Dei Moines was the closest competitor. Among the many reasvia why Omsha war chosen may he men tioned ll( fact that It situated In the ver heart of the hog producing country. Kecclpta of hops at South Omaha last year were greater than at any other live stock market In the L'nlted Btatra. with j the single exception or unioago. Then too, the fine, well lighted and ventilated sanitary horse barns recently built at the stock yards afford Ideal housing for the thousands of aristocratic hogs that are expected to be sent here from ail over the" country. Added to this, Omahu j lifts a publicity bureau In connection with the Commercial club that Is not equalled In any other city, and they will give aid in promoting this show among ths hoe ralcers of the I'nlted States that will be a great help to the association in making thelr first exhibition a suc cess." II ok Association romlaar. One of the first results of the rhoslng of Omaha ns the location of this show Is the securing ef the meeting of a com mittee of the American Poland-China Kecord association, whlrh ordinarily meets in Chicago, on February S. The reason for the change of meeting place 1 that they wish to have this occasion to inspect the borse barns, where the show Is to be held. Within tbe last few weeks V. .V. McFadden of Chicago, president of tha National Pwlne Growers' association, and James 1. Doty of Shenandoah, la., secre tary, have visited Omaha, looked ovc the horse barns and the city general!:' and both seem to have very much Im pressed Tilth what Omnha hor. to off.'i' In the v.tr' ct sdventages for r.-.t'onel meet In 3. Offers Horse Barns. , General Manager Everett Buckingham of tho local yirH was great assistance in having Omaha chosen as tho tirst meeting place. Members of the associa tion were at t lors to provide sufficient beadpuartera for the, exhibition of the stork unless an expenditure of I3.000 or &),0M was awarded, when the local man user stepped f.irward offering th local horse and mule barns as an exhibition barn. ' The ' offer was Immediately ac iSpted, and affiliated swina organisations of the country Thursday voted Omaha as heir first meeting place. . . l . Outside the Yards. , While the horso barn Is located at tbe stock yards it is entirely outside tbe yards and a Ion distance from the hog division, so that the. show hogs would not come In contact with market hogs and be exposed to cholera. They would be unloaded at special chutes and would not Thcr Mary Page By Frederick Lewis, Author of "What Happened to Mary" Pictures by Essanay (Copyright, 1915. by McClurs rubllcatlonaf BYNOrSIS.

Shale, a crook and tool cf Policy a., was oa th. fire escapa watch ing for Lannd. n. (Continued frori Yesterday.) He caught up the wpon as he spokti and thrust It under her eyes. The maid. uh a qu.verliig little scream of horror, shrank back amid a murmur of sym pathy from the crowd. She could not speak. "Isn't it truer" persisted the prosecutor harshly. "Answer my question or te I lis just what you d d see when you came Into the theater upon your retvsrn from the errand." Bursting Into a storm of tears, Janet fling out her arms In a wild gesture. 'It ?s true." ele sortbvd. "Mees Page, my mademoiselle, she was standing and she bad se revolver pointed at Mr. Pol loc'i and he lie ran out of se room." At the words, Mary, whose hands h:tl been twite': :ng nervously throughout th maid s t at mony, rose to her feet with a little gasping cry as if she would speak, but before the words earns she swung suddenly at out and crumpled Into a little heap on the floor. In an Instant the whole room was on its feet, surging forward toward the deck, and the sobs, of the maid wer e.-hoed by more than one woman amoni tho ipectators, where sympathy for the time ran high, though the pendulim swayed back when someone said shrilly with a derisive laugh: "She's a good actress, Is Mary Page!" But tho Judge's gavel quelled the ex citement and the dire threat back of his curt words that unless there was order in the court he would clear the room, waa Ilka oil upon the troubled waters of the sea of' onlookers, and they sat In hushed silence as Mrs. Page sod Langdon knelt beside , the uncon scious form of the slim young prisoner, bathing her temples and chafing her wrists until the momentary respite of nullity forsook her and she opened her eyes to the suffering of reality. At the sight of the fear on both lngdop's and her mother'a face, how ever, she struggled bravely 'to' regain her self-control, and when the clerk called the next witness,' she was again In her chair. Very white and wan. but erect, her pallid lips Set firmly to bold back the threatening tides of emotion and weariness that Were' sweeping' 6er her. The drumming In her ears and the little waves of nausea that are the aftermath of a fainting fit made events Llurred to her for a little time, and it was with a start of surprise that ahe recocnlsed In the new. witness her erst while leading man. The mere sight of his graceful, figure and his boyish face; that handsome Juvenlla expression that was, his stock In trade brought a flood of memories surging over her. and tha shocked pity In bis eyes made her realise keenly the difference that lay between Mary Page the prisoner and Mary Tage the star. Ills testimony was to a great extent a repetition of what had gone before. He had been at tha banquet; bad seen the boy bring the messaga to Miss Page and had ridden her good night when she left. A few minutes later the sound of the shot had taken him down the hall where Pollock and Mary lay the one dead the other unconscous. "It was I who first urged that some one call the police," he said In his well- trained, youthful voice. "I would have gone myself, but I wanted to be sure first whether I could be of service to Mls Pare." "Waa that the reason you refused to lravo the room when ordered to do so liy Detective FarleyT" The prosecutor's voV-e was dry. "I resented bis tone, sir," answered tha young actor. "And besides," flushing. "I waa her lending man and I felt that It it waa my place to be with hor rather than that a lot of strangers should hsng about." An Involuntary smile crossed tangdon's llpa, but they grew grave again at the next question. "After your ejection by Detective- Fax ley and Mr. Iangdon did you leave the hotel?" . "No, sir. I waited in the hallway In i case t was wanted." "Did you re-eiter the room?" "Tea, air not Immediately, but when. I heard a confusion of voloea following the re-entry of the house detective and Mr. Lngdon. "Could you hear what waa said?" Tho actor flushed and hesitated, and then snawered slowly: "Tes sir In part." "Win you please repeat what , part you heard?" "I heard Mr. Langdon say. "But good Ood, there's only one door; abe must be some place in here.' and the detective said, .'Well, ehe's not you can see that.' Then Mr. Langdon said, "There's the window perhaps she's out there I'll see." And his voice sounded queer snd ex cited ss If he were frightened, snd the dotectlve said. 'No nothing doing on that, sir Just remember, Mr. Langdon. that as yet I've no way of knowing whether that shot wss fired before or after you entered thla room!' " . "Did Mr. Langdon reply?" "Tes; he said, 'You damn fool, ' what do you mean?" But Just then the. police came up and rain In, and I went on In with them, aud the detective shouted, 'Some of you go down that flra escape and hunt for a girl in an evening gown without either cloak or hat and one of keep your eya on thla roan Langdon he was either In this room or at the door when David Pollock waa murdered!'

SEVERAL TRAINS ON THE WAY st any polri rssn through tho ctock ysrds. While tho Jeta'.ls of the pUn have not been worked out it Is proposed to appro priate a large rum .for premiums. It Is expected that the cash prizes will bi large enough to attract tbe beat breeders of hogs . In all sections of tbe countiy, j east as well as west, lr the swine snow proves to be as popular and aa successful ss its promoters anticipate it Is planned to make it an annual event at Cmaha. While it ii asserted that there is no particular alarm fe'.t ovrr the sit uation, it Is admitted thst here In Omaha the eoal proposition has reached a soniewhnt serious stage. The facts are that right now the sup ply of steam coal la extremely short and there Is not enough on hand to Inst more than forty-eight hours. However, there Is plenty en route from the mines and the only thing that would bring on a steam-coal famine would be a storm of sufficient severity to' tie up the railroads. 8o far as domestic coal Is con cerned, there is an abundant supply in storage, with the exception of some of tbe poorer grades of soft coal. Steam coal Is used In the heating plants of all of the office and factory buildings, and. consequently the demand for this class of fuel Is the greatest. It (a sold at a close margin and dealers. Instead of laying In stocks and deliver Ing from their yards, tnxe It off the rarg as they arrive, thus making dellv. ery to customers. Cornea from Kansas. A good 'portion of the steam eoal burned in Omaha comes from the fields at Pittsburg. Kan. It Is found at a depth of six to ten feet, and Instead of securing It by sinking shafts, the ground la stripped off the. coal veins snd the cosl loaded onto cars by steam shovels, similar to those used In excavating for foundations. . For the last tww weeks the weather In the vicinity of Plitsburg has been bad so bad that men have been ab e to work out of doors only a portion of the time. As a result the output has been materially lessened. It la assorted that at this time thrr are more thin a doten tialns of sieira coal enroute to Omaha from the Kansas mlnea, due to arrive within the next twn or three days. If this ge"s In ss exp.vted, no Inconrenlene-s I going to be experi enced, but if these trains shauld be laid out by g storm cr snow blockade, Omi bas steam coil supply la going to be very short.

Police surgeons were summoned, snd the man was removed to his home, 819 South Twentieth street, where his con dition is now said to be Improving. The electric street lighting situa tion Is commanding attention Just now among city commissioners and dtltens. Mayor Dahlman expressed 1.1s views In this manner: "During the last year and a half the commissioners have been sought time and again by citizens who de i snd more lights. We held the mat ter oft about two years ago on the strength that the legislature would vellove the situation, but we all know nhst happened at that time. "With our present funds and under the present system wre can not add more lights, but under the plan proposed by the rlty electrician it appears we can add nearly th) more lamps without In creasing the expense. "Some are talk'ng about the city buy ing the equipment snd then getting the current from the company on s straight measured basis,, the electric is nips to be handled on the same plan aa the gs street lighting now Is managed. If any body will show me where tho money can be found for buying the equipment now, then I will he for that- plan, but what I want Is to get theeo people more lights now. otherwlsn I Inlend to fig the responsibility Where It belongs. At the best It would take seversl years for the city to get a municipal plant In opera tion. I am for municipal ownership of tha electric light plant If such ownership can he kept out of polities, but I do not pro pose to allow a msn to get control of the electric light plant and then use It as a stepping stone to get himself elected governor or Cnlted States senator." The city council committee of the whole will discuss the proposition next Monday morning. KNIGHTS AND LADIES OF SECURITY IN UNION MEET The Knights and ladles of Security of Greater Omaha held their first union meeting at the Swedish auditorium Thunsday evening.
