WORSE - OMAHA GETS IN RACE FOR SWINE SHOW Business Men Realize They Must Take Quick Action or It Will Go Else where. Omaha may not be too late getting into the race to bring the national swine show to this city again for 1918. The bureau of publicity for the Oma ha Chamber of Commerce Tuesday took up the project in earnest, after it was learned that St. Louis and Peoria had made some startling bids for the show. The show is run normally at a loss of $8,000, and the city that gets it is expected to make up this difference between the receipts and the expendi tures. The show started in Omaha two years ago in Omaha and was held here the second year. This year St. Louis has offered, not only to guar antee the $8,000 to swing the show, but has offered to construct $75,000 worth of permanent buildings for the show if the association will make St. Louis permanent headquarters. Peoria Bids Strong. Peoria has also offered to under write the necessary $8,000. Omaha will now send word imme diately to the officers offering to guarantee the cost of the show, though some local business men fear the offer will come too late and that St. Louis has probably already been favorably considered. Everett Buckingham of the Union Stock Yards authorized the statement that the vards company would allow a lot of additional barn room and pens for the show this year.

Wins Opening Round in Govern- ment Fight to Search Vaults, Chicago, Feb. 12. Judge Francis E. Baker of the United States circuit court of appeals today granted a writ of error and supersedeas to Henry Veeder, general counsel for Swift & Co., which will prevent the govern ment from making further search of Veeder's vault for evidence, alleged to have been used in the commission of felonies, until after March 1. Attorneys for the government made a vigorous fight to prevent the appeal of the case. District Attorney Charles F. Clyne and his assistants argued that the case was not a proper proceeding for appeal under the circumstances. "This is a matter of great national importance and the' government might lose certain of its valuable rights by further delay at this time," said Mr. Clyne. "Conditions may change which might make it possible for guilty men to escape punish ment." Judge Baker, after listening to both sides for a few minutes, held that the case was a reviewable one and that the defendants had a right to an ap peal. He then issued the supersedeas, which will prevent further, execution of the search warrant until the appeal is heard. Judge Baker declined to hear the case alone, saying it was a matter for the entire court to consider. Both District Attorney Clyne and Francis J. Heney, special counsel for the fed eral trade commission, which is in vestigating the meat packing industry of the country, expressed regret over the delay growing out of the appeal. Meanwhile the agents of the com mission will search the files of Morris & Co. and other packers for evidence.

There has been no check in the Youthful Adventurer Becomes Stuck in Mud Noel Moore, 3 years old, son of J. H. Moore, janitor of the United Brethren church, Nineteenth and Lothrop streets, Tuesday grew weary of the confines of home life and fared forth into the wide world in search of adventure. After sev eral hours of travel, in which he saw many new sights and wonders, he finally arrived in the. vicinity of Twenty-third and Laird streets, where he became stuck in the mud. His cries for help attracted the attention of Mrs. E. A. O'Donnell, 393 North Twenty-third street, who hurried to his assistance. Noel told her that he thought his mother wanted him, and in this he was more than correct, as Mrs. Moore had frantically called the police when she missed the boy, and two policemen were then scouring the neighborhood in a hunt for the missing child. He was returned to the mother, who received the prod igal with open arms. thaw and reports indicate that in most localities the snow has nearly all melted.
