POWDER TAKEN
OVER BYCOURT
Whisky Under Innocent Dis
guise Is Confiscated and
Drayman Is Exonerated
in Hearing.
' John M. Looney, who was arrest
ed Monday with three barrels of
whisky on his express truck, was
acquitted yesterday by Judge Holmes
of the South Side police court. The
"whisky was confiscated."
Looney was charged with the
transportation of intoxicating liquor
and with illegal possession of it.
Since it was shown in court that he
was unaware of the contents of the
tart-eli marked "baking powder"
.which he was hauling, he was dis
charged and his truck returned to
him.
The whisky was shipped by "Smith
Brothers" of Kansas City to Simon
that he received a call in the regular
way and was given a bill of lading
ifrom a man on the corner of Twenty
fourth and Q streets". He was to de
liver the goods in the afternoon after
Meeting the stranger at 2 o'clock at
the tame corner.
.Meanwhile, Chief of Detectives
Briggs received word from the Bur-
ungton depot, wnere tne powder
was received, and arrested Looney
and took over the truck and its con
tents. - Looney, who is well known in the
South Side as an hnnpst- wnrWr. rnld
. his itory to Judge Holmes in the
. police court and was released. He
appears to be the "goat" in the case,
according to police, for neither the
shipper nor the consignee has been
located. Simon Brothers, to whom
the shipment was consigned, knew
nothing of it and were not even in
possession of the bill of lading.

Audience of Her Expert.
ences and Observation
in Europe.
By HENRIETTA M. REES.
Miss Joy Higgins gave Omaha an
other reason to be proud of her last
evening by her lecture, "The Will to
Victory' which she presented at the
Boyd theater 1'ot the benefit of the
Shamrock Fund for Disabled Irish
Soldiers and Sailors, under the aus
pices of the countess of Kingston,
and the Omaha Woman's Press club.
Miss Higgins has long been known
as a clever writer and for her inter
est in the Audubon and various other
societies where she is a tireless work
er. Her subject was well chosen and
gave her an opportunity to review
briefly many of the interesting ex
periences which were hers during her
recent remarkable journey through
the United Kingdom and France with
the labor commission., and to mould
them together in expressing the very
spirit which made these experiences,
and in fact the journey itsel', possible.
Her language was at all times chosen
with exquisite care, and expressed
with pleasing cadence and telling ef
fect, and the tact and judgment which
won her popularity abroad were amply
in evidence.
Message to Labor.
Miss Higgins spoke briefly and to
the point about the message of Amer
ican labor to the allies, and called at
tention to the fact that in all these
countries the labor sentiment gen
erally is with the war. She spoke of
the peace agitators as little groups
of idealists who might well be a little
less intellectual and a litte more in
telligent. She pointed out the fact
that the workers in war industries are
soldiers, too.
She spoke of the city of Rheims
where there is not a home left stand
ing, but curiously enough, but few
fireplaces are destroyed, and that
"France would again build the homes
around the hearth."
The slogan everywhere seemed to
be, "I don't mind, it is winning the
war that counts," and this courage
in the face of heartbreaking calamities
had not only made all allies kin, but
lias made possible their achievements
Donations Total $186.
Miss Higgiii closed her talk with
a pica for the fund for which the col
lection was to be given, and many
society girls passed the tin helmets,
gathering $186, while Mogy Bern
stein added his plea for generosity tnd
auctioned off a real Irish shillalah
Arthur Mullen purchasing it for $25
Mr. Mullen and Colonel Banister
made short talks, and the war film
which followed the collection neld
much of interest. The Boyd was ell
filled by an audience that gave Misi
Higgins a cordial reception, followed
her splendid address attentively, and
applauded her remarks frequently as
she went along.
Bulldogs Which it Friest
Were Rabie Victims
A report has been received from the
Pasteur institute at Chicago that the
two English bulldogs belonging to
G. A. Jackson, 2516 Templeton street,
were afflicted with rabies when they
bit Father Galvin, 2523 Tcmpieton
street, last Friday.
Father Galvin was returning trom
mass at the Holy Angel church
when he was attacked by the two
dogs. He was bit in several places.
The dogs were killed by police and
their heads sent to Chicago for
examination. Rev. Galvin was taken
to the St. Joseph hospital, where he
is reported to be suffering no serious
effects from the dog bites
