Assistant Federal Attorney As zserts Woman Said Quartet Were Ones Who Had Victimized Her. THREE OF THEM FREED Charges Against Trio Dropped When Granted Prelimi . nary Hearing. EVIDENCE NOT ADEQUATE Chicago, III., Sept. 19. Charges against thee of the seven members of the alleged $1,000,000 band of blackr mailers were dropped when they were granted a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner Foote today. Lack of evidence to hold them, it was said, prompted the action, which was requested by Charles F. Clyne, United States district attorney. Those . released were: Mrs. Frances Allen, alias Chap man; Mrs. Edward .Donahue and George Bland. The charges against Edward Dona hue, Henry Russell, Mrs. Helen Evers, alleged ring-leaders of the band, and James Christian were continued un til Friday. Xfirhaft T.. Time, assistant United States district attorney, said that Mrs.' Kegma Juipper, a Philadelphia di vorcee, who declares she was black mailed by the band, identified the four defendants held.

"The case against the others under arrest. Clabaugh said, is doubtful. am satisfied, however, of the guilt of the first three." Russell, Donahue and Mrs. Evers are held under bail of $25,000 each. James Christian's bonds was fixed at $5,000. , Mrs. Klipper is the sole woman of the score, believed to be victims of the syndicate, who- is willing to tell how sire 'was fleeced. She declare, .he wa. placed in a compromising posi tion in a .New York hotel by mem bers of the band last January, black mailed out ot a sum reported to be less than $1,UUU and some jewelry and later kidnaped and held prisoner in Montreal when the threatened prose cution.

Those who have - for twenty-one years witnessed the great electrical parade have a yet greater spectacle to see in this historical parade. The electrical parade comes every year. ' May Be First and Last. The historical parade comes now for the first time in history, and will perhaps never come again. For, if the figures on expenses cur rying out the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities could be properly classified it would be found probably that the production ot this historical parade cost some thing like $25,000. Thirty-one costly floats and fifteen historical groups wilt go to make up this grand affair. The floats are completed and most of them are now stored in the great fireproof balloon house at Fort Omaha. More study, more labor, more pains and more artistic headwork have been expended on the production of these tioats than on any electrical parade ever staged in Omaha. Start, in Dim Ages. Whv not? For this historical repre sentation begins m the dim past, per haps 1,000,000 years ago, perhaps longer. .Prehistoric monsters of the tropical age, the tertiary period in which aquatic and semi-aquatic monsters- tlourished, is represented in the tirst float. Giant rhinoceri with many horns, tierce dinosaurs, lizard-like monsters larger than freight cars are represented, snarling and snapping at one another as they drag their tetid bodies about in the hot slime ot pre historic seas. Then comes the ice age when ava lanches of ice rolled in upon this trop ical life, from some unknown cause. The gigantic mammoth or mastodon is seen, a tropical animal, hopelessly floundering around in an avalanche of ice that is slowly bearing him to earth only to overwhelm him, bury him and roll on its destructive way. Primitive Indian. Appear. Again the icebergs disappear with succeeding ages-and human life ap- oears. The primitive Indians appear. 'On foot and on horseback jome now Coronado and hi. cavaliers, the early Spanish explorers who roamed over this territory, slew Indian, and enslaved others. Indians in groups wilt follow in the costumes ot the time. The Mandan Indian hut comes next, a float representing the type of wil low hut covered over with clay, which the Mandan Indian, used in corona do's dav. x After a group of modern Indians will follow the tepee of the more mod ern Indians, with the bucks reclining in the shade of the tent while the squaws pound corn and scrape buffalo hides. Keal Indians trom tne reser vation will fill these parts. Indian Hunting Buffalo. A float representing the vanishing races is another of great interest. It is a float with life-sized buffalo chased bv an Indian on his pony. The Indian, the broncho and the buffalo alike have vanished, or are rapidly vanishing. These are but a few of the tioats ot interest in the very foremost part of this magnificent parade. The parade will probably be nearly two miles long. The whole hisotrywf the terri- torv will be covered and taithtully represented, even to the first inaugu ral ball, which will be represented by persons actually in the costumes of the day and engaged in dancing while the parade moves down the streets. Scientists Take Oath of Allegiance To United States f Washington, D. C, Sept. 19. Twen ty-four of America s foremost scien tists, comprising the navy's civilian consulting board, headed by Thomas A. fcditon. took the oath ot allegiance to the United States today as officers of the federal government. The oath was administered in the office of Sec retary Daniels preliminary to organi zation of the board under the new law giving it a legal status. Later the scientists were taken on board the naval yacht Dolplim tor a cruise down to the southern drill grounds off the Virginia coast to wit ness target practice maneuvers of the Atlantic fleet. Before Mr. Edison arrived at the Navy department he went to Mount Vernon, Va., the home of George Washington, made a personal inspec tion of the mansion and planted an elm tree in the yard. He was asked to inspect the electrical wiring of the house, which he did, pronouncing it safe. Modern Woodmen Adopt Big Class at Scottsbluff Scott's Bluff. Neb.. Sept. 19. (Spe cial Telegram.) The Modern Wood men of America held a large class of adoption here last night. All the camps in the valley had representa tives and candidates, which included Morrill, Mitchell. Minatare. Bayard and Scott's Bluff. The team from Morrill put on the floor work and State Deputy Elmer W. Kester of Lincoln give the ritualistic part. Speeches were made by Head Con-1 sul A. R.

OUTLAW LEAVZS MBSSACli Orders Peon to Tell Trevino Next He Will Drop Out of Sky. THREATENS BORDER CITY EI Paso, Tex., Sept. 19. More than 100 Mexican refugees who fled Chi huahua City following Villa's attack last Saturday arrived in Juarez to day, bringing with them their fami lies and their household goods. Most of the arrivals expressed the intention of crossing into the United States in search of work. Earlier reports placing the Villa Josses at between 200 and 250 were borne out by the arrivals, who also estimated the Carranza casualties va riously from 200 to 600. An Amer ican mining operator, who passed through Chihuahua City on his way from Zacatecas, said that he had been told that the government troops lost aboXit 400 men. American military reports here to day indicated that during the attack a number ot the members ot tne gar rison joined Villa and that he since has been joined by several inaepeno ent leaders. An air of subdued excitement was manifest in Juarez today. Cavalry patrolled the railroad south of the town and artillery and field pieces were mounted on the hills to the south, General Francisco Gonzales denied, however, that any fears that Villa may attack the town are enter tained. He added that no reports had been received in Tuarez from the force under General Matias Ramos, which is 'pursuing the bandit chieftain into the Santa uara canyon district. A story current in Chihuahua City, according to arrivals, .is that on his retreat, Villa captured a peon and or dered him to say to General Jacinto Irevino on his return: Villa says next time -he comes alter you hell drop out of the sky, but first he is going to Juarez to drive the garrison there into the Kio urande. Murder in Colorado Thought to Be Part of Blackmail Plot Denver, Colo, Sept. 19. Samuel W. Johnson, district attorney of Jef ferson county, said last night that a man known as C E. Wilson was be ing sought in connection with the killing of Wrlliam Turner in a fishing camp in that county June a. A worn ani known to local officials as Wil son's wife, who mysteriously disap peared from the camp the-day before the shooting, was also Deing sougnt. According to information gathered by Mr. Johnson, lurner s slayer ap peared suddenly at the camp, shot Turner while the latter was engaged m a game of cards with several com Danions. and escaped. A trunk, belonging to Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Johnson said, was seized at the Denver railways station, and an ex amination of the contents indicated that the owner had lived -m Chicago had a bank account in Montreal and had recently, spent some time in Florida. There are good reasons to be lieve," said Mr. Johnson, "that the murder of Turner is connected with the activities of blackmailers now being sought by the Chicago authori ties." Chicago. Sept. 19. The mvsterv surrounding the killing of William Turner, alias Wilson, in a mountain resort in Jefferson county. Colorado, last June, may be cleared up through some member of the blackmail syndi cate, it was reported tonight, Turner was said to have been slain following an argument over division ot spoils in a blackmail scheme in which a Denver woman was said to have been the victim. Wilson May Make A Speaking Tour In Central States New York, Sept. 19. A probable change in the campaign plans of President Wilson was indicated today by Vance C. McCormick, national chairman, who said he would visit Long Branch, N. J., to discuss with the president a suggested speaking tour in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Mis souri and this city and possibly up state in New York.

WRITER RIDES IN "TANK" British Front in France, Sept. 18 (Via London, Sept. 19.) The most dramatic and picturesque battle of the British army in all its two years in France was fought on September IS. Here is the sto'y of how all kinds of men from the ends of the earth took part in this mighty con flict. In the same dressing station this week the correspondent of the Asso ciated Press has seen Canadians, New Zealanders, English, Scotch, Irish, New FoundlandeTs and Americans. There were some of the men of many countries who took part in the now historic battle and with them there went into action those armored mo tor cars called "tanks," which are to the credit of a quiet officer of engi neers. When the correspondent met this officer in London six months ago and asked him what job he was now on he replied: an, sn; aont tell I" It was the "tanks" that com pleted the wonderful business of this battle. Today when the correspon dent was calling on a Canadian briga dier it was a "tank" called the "cor don rougo, looking like a prehis toric monster m a skin of modern armor and with engines inside which took him across the field of shell craters, weaving its Way with ovthonic adaptability by all irregular ities up to the door of the brigadier's dugout. - The skinner of "the cordon rouge' alighted and with phleamati'c drawl announced that he reported for fur ther orders. The brigadier laughingly bade him not to start the Brute down the stairs of the dugout, but move it to one side and wait, bo the tank ambled with the bulky leisure of a hippopotamus over some more shell craters to a place where it would be out of the way until it was needed. Canadian. Storm Trenches Then the correspondent went over the ground which the Canadians had taken up to the edge of the village of Courceletta. Later they stormed the village. He met Canadians who came from Montreal, Toronto, Win nipeg and Vancouver. But when he asked some of them what part Of Car.ada they hailed from they re- olied: "The same country as you do the United States." There were men with the accents of Missoun.and New Eni-land and others who on the soil of France hailed one another in the French tongue of Quebec. We srot into a big show all right, said the Americans, "and that is what we came here for." These men who had rushed to the attack of the ridges of the bom me against machine gun fire and shells carried themselves by all accounts in a manner worthy of the traditions of the civil war. It was the Canadians' first offensive on any big scale. They stood the shock of attack at the second battle of Yores, at St. Eloi, Orrell hill and Sanctuary wood and it had been their fortune uo to the present to stand un der blows rather than give them. They wanted their chance on the Sornme to make good, as they said, and they had it. This rainy day one saw battalions of them marching out from the trenches they had won and other bat talions marching in. Those fresh from the fight were plastered with mud, but triumphant. They had a hundred stories to tell, while the rain dripped from their tarpaulins, of how the Bvng boys had made good, lhe wounded, also drenched by the rain, eagerly joined in these stories. The Canadians are known as tne ttyng bovs" after the name--of their corps commander, General Sir Julian Byng, and also by virtue of a popular song in London entitled "The Byng Boys Are Here." . Western Men Have Initiative. General Byng grasped the idea that the Canadians have initiative. Jut there, as far as the correspondent could learn, is the essential of the universally-admitted brilliant stroke which the Canadians dealt when it came their turn to play the part in tOontinned' oa Pago Two, Colnnm Fire.) !SWWRK!SSi!l(P!$!

SHONTS STANDS PAT vNew York, Sept. 19. An effort by a committee representing busines. in terest, to settle the city , transit strike and avert a general sympathetic labor strike failed late today when Theodore P. Shonts, president of the Interborough Rapid Transit company, refused to consider a plan suggested by the committee to reopen negotia tions with the street car employes. -Ms.. Shonts informed the commit tee, which went to his office from a conference with Mayor John P. Mitchel, that "there is no strike on the Interborough." He asserted that the company was "handling the situa tion without difficulty, thank, to our 11,000 loyal men." In view of -Mr. Shonts' attitude, the committee explained, announce ment of the suggestions made to him was withheld. It was further stated that the committee would not out its plan before the union leaders, but that a meeting of business interests would be held tomorrow in the hope of evolving some new means of bringing about an adjustment before Friday. the day set for calling a general strike. Mayor Mitcnei caned into confer ence today representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and Mer chants' association to try to avert the threatened strike of 700,000 workers this city in sympathy with the street railway employes. The mayor has received warning from the labor leaders that unless he and the com mittee of busines. men settled the carmen's strike by Thursday night a general walkout of virtually all the labor unions in this city and vicinitv will be ordered. 200,000 Vote to Quit Representatives of about thirty uniuns uiiucu in caning upon ineir organizations to strike if settlement with the transit companies were not forthcoming.

Members of the United Hebrew Trades, the longshoremen and boat men already have voted to strike, it is announced. No plan ha. been proposed for the consideration of the mayor and the business mens committee. Fresi dent Shonts of the Interborough Rapid Transit company, said it seemed absurd to negotiate further and that the company would have no turther dealings witn tne carmen s union, but was willing to consider any proposition from the mayor.
