TUK htiti: OMAHA, SATURDAY. MARCH 29, 1919. ! i i UNEARTH BIG LIQUOR CACHE NEAR STATE LINE Hand of Federal Authorities Seen in St. Joe-Omaha . Bootlegging" Crusade' Developments. (By a Staff Correspondent.) St. Joseph. Mo., March 28. The intense excitement prevailing here over the indictment of William Bub and Marvin Kirkman, former coun ty judges, on charges accepting bribes from Winthrop saioon keep ers, was intensified today, as the real ramifications of the St. Joseph- Omaha whisky runners' ring came to light. While there was no offi cial confirmation today, of reports that the indictments were in fact the first step in a determined effort to smash the bootleggers' eclique, the real significance of the grand jury's action was quickly apparent to all observers who have their ear to the ground. Government Lends Aid. There are persistent rumors that :.ertain government officers, includ ing Nebraska and Iowa officials, have located at an outpost of the whisky ring in the northwest corner of Atchison, county, Missouri, and that a farm on the Nebraska-Iowa-Missouri border harbors a cache of liquor estimated as worth at least a, half million dollars. The "proprie tor" of this wholesale dispensary is understood to be' a professional man of Atchison county who long since retired from his practice to devote all his time to 'the more v lucrative business. He has substations at two other points along the Missouri river, one along the Kansas line. The men who carry the "wet" goods from St. Joseph and Winthrop to his Atchison county rendezvous get $220 a trip. It is understood that hp has 12 automobiles in constant op eration t") meet the demands of the drouth country. Trust in Omaha. While many of the hundreds of motor parties who cross the Ne braska and Iowa line to this ren dezvous every night are only indi viduals trying to replenish only their private stocks, it is certain that most of the outgo finds its way to an es tablished bootleggers' trust in Oma ha. The authorities are busy now searching' out the ring's headquar ters in the Nebraska metropolis. How far they have succeeded is not definitely known here, but when one questions the government officials on what they have found out there i a very merry twinkle in their eyes. I' is a common guess that "highups" i:i other towns other than St. Joseph will soon be called upon to explain the protection which the bootleggers seem to be finding so convenient and , comfortable. Two Go-Betweens. One important feature of the in dictments brought to light is that there were two go-betweens, who are alleged to have carried the monev between Winthrop dram shop keepers and the two county' judges, frank Hub, brother ot tne indicted judge, was indicted along with the recipients' of the alleged hush money', while the qther mes senger, Herman Teschner, a former Omaha saloon man,' and who ap parently knows all the inside work ings of the secret liquor trust, saved himself by turning state's evidence. According to evidence ' said "to have been introduced before the grand jury, the bribe amounted to $2,300. but only four of the 12 Win throp saloonists were heard, and it is charged that the actual bribe was much more. Louis Weinberg Leaves Home to Go to Orphanage The hold of the Cleveland Jewish Orphans' home on the boys and girls brought Up under its roof was demonstrated Sunday, when Louis Weinberg, 16, ran away from home to return to the institution. Police located the lost , boy in the Cleve t land orphanage Thursday , The boy's mother has' requested his return to Omaha, where he -was employed by the Nebraska Cloth ing company.

"GAlfrrlEN WITH VERVE AND CHARMS ANEW Performance of Popular Opera by San Carlo Company Fre quently Interrupted by ; Applause. B. HENRIETTA M. REES. "Carmen," by Bizet, was the Friday night attraction at the Boyd theater when the San Carlo opera company again presented a versatile cast in a convincing and vital production. "Carmen" is one of the most popular operas ever written and it was gratifying to note that a much larger audience was present than there was on Wednesday or Thursday eve ning. - - 1 The story of "Carmen, the wicked and beautiful gypsy, who lured Don Jose, a soldier, to desert and follow er, and who, when she shows pref erence for Escamillo the toreador, eventually kills her, is a story that is almost common property. Audience Charmed. The music, with its beauty of melody and characteristic Spanish flavor, its favorite arias, the "Ha banera," the "Toreador" song, and the chorus of cigaret girls, the gypsy quintet, etc., charmed anew. Many times the action was inter rupted by applause. ' The presentation of "Carmen" was marked with a verve and dash which was most creditable to all concerned, and the ease and finish with which every role was taken were a constant source of pleasure. 1 lie audience felt that every one was absolutely sure of himself, and it was sure of them accordingly.' This is one of the features of the San Carlo com pany. Roles Well Taken. ' Stella Demette portrayed the part of Carmen with dramatic and vocal skill. Her Carmen is more the thoughtless prankish Carmen than the wicked, pantherlike type. Her voice is a splendid contralto, and she is a valuable member of the com pany. " Romeo Boscacci as Don Jose, had a distinct triumph. His splendid tenor is displayed to excellent ad vantage' in this role, and he is possessed of more than ordinary dramatic ability. He plays the role with ah intensity and realism which vividly portrays - the character and the yisane jealousy of Don' Jose. ...Joseph Royer was so acceptable a Toreador that it was found neces sary to, repeat a portion of the "Toreador" song to satisfy the au dience. ' The other roles were "also well taken and successfully por trayed. , The orchestra sustained and accompanied under the aton of Merola with customary success. The two operas presented Satur day matinee and evening will close the engagement of this interesting and delightful company. Relatives of King George Deprived of British Peerages London, March 28.

DO NOT NOTICE SPEED FLYING IN BIG AIRSHIP . ' . V Passenger on Dirigible Travel ing Sixty Miles Hour Un , able' V Tell Rate of ; Progress. - By ROBERT WELLES RITCHIE. (Universal Service Staff Correspondent.) London, March '28. Universal Service was able to secure an inter view with Capt. Lancer 4 Rush Brooke, royal air force, who flew a,s a passenger aboard the giant R 33, Britain's greatest dirigible, when it made its three-hour trial trip from the Selby hangar in Yorkshire. Byilt by Armstrong, Whitworfh & Co., for use of ' the British ad miralty, the giantes of the air was designed originally for war work. Her armament was to include ma chine guns and rapid firers and from her gondolas four bombs of 580 pounds each and eight of 250 pounds were designed to be dropped upon the enemy. f Were the R-33 to settle down on roadway the great skyflyer would rmore than fill the street and stretch for three blocks. ., Her length is 670 feet and at her greatest diameter the huge, girth of the rigid gas bag'-Ts 79 feet.. Four, gondolas, one for ward and one aft in line and two abreast amidships, swing under the gas bag and five engines capable of developing 250 horsepower drive the huge craft at a maximum speed of U miles an hour. The amidships engines in the twin power cars were already run ning at low speed when I clambered into the control gondola under the bow of the aishiD." Cant. Rush Brooke began the story 'of his ex- ! aifl -a' writ penences. men Major i nomas, the commander, signalled to the ground officer that all were aboard and ready. Airship Leaves Ground. v "At the blast of a bugle all hands let go and the vessel rose slowly from the ground. Imperceptibly the men on the ground grew smaller and shorter. The sudden clang of a bell uwice repeated aroused me from the first awed sensation of flight and almost immediately a muffled drone behind me announced the starting of the engine in the com partment adjoining the control cab in in which I stood. . , "Looking out from' one of the windows along the vast fish-form hull of the; ship I saw a cascade of water ballast pour out from an aper ture in the keel, followed in a moment by another towards the Stern. "We were now well clear of the ground and rapidly climbing with uptilted bows. The airship was re markably steady, however, and but for the diminshing size of objects on the ground passing slowly a thousand, feet below, one was scarcely conscious of motion. "My surroundings now claimed attention. The helmsman and height coxswain at the rudder and the ele vator wheels were intent on their duties. "As occasion permitted, the cap tain explained to me the uses of each of the numerous clocks and control boards; the bubble stato scope, which is sensitive to the slightest rise or fall; the aneroid height recorder, gas thermometer, gas valve controls, the controls for the water ballast, discharge and trail rope release. The engine room telegraphs were operated by turning, an indicator handle on a diar marked with the necessary commands, , one ' communicating with each engine. In addition the captain Could talk . either by tele phone or vojee pipe to every sta tion of the crew of the ship. Sixty Miles an Hour. "The air speed indicator, to my surprise, was registering 52 knots 60 miles per hour. Pne has no sen sation of speed in these huge vei sels. We. were traveling at consid erably more than the velocity of an express train without the slightest sense of speed and none of the clamorous shriek of engines and wires that is so noticeable when flying in an aeroplane. : "Presently the captain invited me to take a walk through the cor ridor in the hull of the ship to the rearward engine cars. The keel cor ridor is like a tunnel with ..he sec tional shape of an inverted V, the gas bags when full reaching down on either side. "Walking down the center gang way one passes a long row of petrol tanks and water ballast bags on either hand Some"of these petrol tanks are suspended from quick re lease hooks so that on pulling a lever they can, if necessary, be jettisoned as ballast. - "Further along down the corridor, we' came to the quarters for the crew while off duty. No doubt the bunks are appreciated on a long flight. My guide informed me the ship could cruise for 100 hours if necessary. , s The warmth of the rear power gondola was very welcome. It was little more than a duralimin shell surrounding the two big engines and gearing which drove the 20-foot pro peller at the after end. "We were now approaching the coast, through clouds of mist. Oc casional glimpses of the sea on one hand( with tiny ships leaving long pencils of white wake on the water, and on the other hand, the frost bound country, the clumps of trees and buildings standing out as black spots on the general whiteness."
