Sept. 10. (By The Associated Press.) Over a five-mile iiower-strewn pathway General Per shing led his famous First division down Fifth avenue today to the wild plaudits of 2,000,000 proud country men. It was tht last grand review of the world war for New York and t was a fitting climax to a long series of military spectacles. The commander of America's armies shared honors with the battle scarred veterans who won undying fame on the fields of France. For til of them it was one of life's most memorable days. As he rode down the avenue, the stern lines of the leader's face relaxed in the now famous Pershing smile and when he dismounted in Washington Square at the end of the march surrounded by his staff, he exclaimed: ; "It was the most enthusiastic and patriotic outburst I ever have seen." Officers With Him. Behind Pershing rode a score of major generals and brigadiers and back of them strode the command er's guard of honor, the world-famed composite regiment of doughboys, he flower of six divisions. Stalwart vyoung giants, magnificent Amer icans, they scored in the nation s me tropolis a triumph far dearer to their hearts than the laurels they won in the victory reviews of Paris and London. Nearly all the men wore wound chevrons. Back of "Pershing's Own" swept the 25,000 regulars of the First di vision, fully accoutered for war. Horse, foot and artillery, they swept down the avenue. It was a dres9 parade, but so far as equipment went they might have been on their way to the front. The faces under the bobbing trench helmets were stern and business-like. In their veins was the blood of many races, but they had been welded together by the fires of war into an uncon qeurable unit which beat back the Prussian guards and broke the pride of Germany. But they paid the price of victory, for 5,000 of their com rades are sleeping their eternal sleep in France, while 20,000 others bear the scars of combat. As Pershing came abreast the great grandstand at the Metropoli tan museum the crowd went wild Nurses Tag Day Finds City in Generous Mood (Con tin tit d From Face On.) ters, United States National bank, last evening and gave $2, with this sentiment: "I want to help you nurses, because I know how you helped my little family when we really needed help. I will never forget what you did for us on that occasion." The sixth annual tag day was not without its humorous incidents. Mrs. W. J. Hynes reported at headquar ters that a man gave $10 on condi tion that the volunteer who accost ed him would have her photograph taken with him. Mrs. Hynes averred that the secret of the identity of the young woman in the case is safe with her. A man registered at the Henshaw and driving an automobile bearing an Illinois license number gave $1 for 10 tags, which he hung all over his machine. Visit Movie Shows. A few of the large contributions were National League for Woman's Service, $100; Howard Farrell. $100; C. T. Kountze, $50; M. C. Peters, $50: C. W. Hull, $50. Mrs. K. Kulakotsky was assisted by a group of young women who at tended all of the movie theaters last night, and their efforts were gerfer- ously rewarded. The total ot the contriDutions will be announced today when all of the money has been received. Thousands of dimes, nickles and cents were counted by bank clerks. Card of Thanks. The following statement was given by the Visiting Nurse associa tion last night: The directors of the Visiting Nurse association wish publicly to thank the press, the theaters and street railway of Omaha, south Omaha, Benson and Florence for their hearty co-operation in help ing to make the Sixth Annual Tag Day a success. "We also wish to thank the pub lic for their generous response and all workers for their untiring ef forts which made the day such a grand success. "MRS. W. J. HYNES, "President."

He sat on his horse as the cavalryman has been taught to do, smiling, and saluting with his gloved hand, while immedi ately behind streamed the American colors and the four-starred flag of a full general. The commander made but one stop on the march and that was at St Patrick cathedral to change horses. He dismounted amidst a crowd of girls representing the Knights of Columbus eager to be the first to hand him flowers. Upon the cheek of the victor he implanted a kiss while she blushed happily. Seated on a private stand in front of the cathedral were Cardinal Mer- cier and a throng of church digni taries. Pershing paused to welcome to America the heroic old man who had so proudly defied the German invadtrs. The cathedral chimes rang out in hymns of victory and "The Star Spangled Banner" as the two world figures clasped hands. j I love America with all my heart jand greet you as one of the world's J greatest soldiers," was the greeting j of Belgium's primate while the sol 1 dier saluted.

In his ruling Judge Fitzgerald de clared the conduct of the police in shooting at Scott, who was not ac cused of having committed a wrong, in the officers calling out to "shoot the ," together in connec tion with the fact that the raid was instituted without proper warrants and authority, was sufficient grounds for holding Armstrong and Brigham for trial. County Attorney Shotwell con ducted the hearing for the state. He was interrupted repeatedly by At torney Curran while attempting to obtain facts from witnesses which were damaging to tne city detec tives. Intimates Immunity Promised. Mr. Curran intimated that the county attorney had promised im munity to Holman in consideration for the damaging testimony to the policemen. The accusation called forth an outburst of indignation from the county attorney, who declared with emphasis that he had made no promises to any one. "This is a case where no one wiil be prom ised immunity," he said. "Justice is going to prevail here, if there is any possible way for me to see that the guilty ones will pay the penalty for this crime." . Applause Greets Reply. An outburst of applause greeted Mr. Shotwell's reply to the charge made by the attorney for the two officers. There were 150 negroes present and they led in the demon stration. The spectators were warned that any further demon stration in the court room would be the signal for the bailiff to clear the room. Elmer Thomas did not put in an appearance at the hearing. The ad ministration was represented by Po lice Chief Eberstem. After various witnesses repeated the story of the killing told by them at the inquest, Holman took the wit ness stand in response to the inquest of County Attorney Shotwell. He de clared he was returning from his work shortly after 1 in the morn ing. As he neared the mouth of the alley in Thirteenth street, he said, he heard the shots and one o the policemen called to him to shoot the as the negro emerzed from the alley. Holman said he shot in the air to frighten the boy. "I shot to the left and over the head of the negro," he said. Attorney Curran objected strenu ously to Holman s answering the question "Why did you shoot at Scott." Objection is Overruled. Judge Fitzgerald overruled the objection and the witness replied "I heard the shots fired in the alley. I looked up the alley and rec ognized three policemen chasing the boy. I saw the torn garments of the fugitive and when the officer called to me to kill the boy, I nat urally concluded the negro had committed a crime amounting to a felony." Holman declared that had it not been for the command of the police man to kill the boy, he would not have shot. I am an othcer and when I was ordered by the police men to; shoot, I considered it my duty to make an effort to get the man to stop. Rain Fails to Stop Annual G. A. R. Parade Columbus, Oo., Sept. 10.

MYSTERIES OF DEN UNVEILED AT BIG MERCHANTS SHOW t Women Guests See Ak-Sar-Ben Entertainment for First Time. For the first time in its history, with the exception of the annual coronation ball, the Ak-Sar-Ben den was thrown open and its mysteries revealed to curious feminine eyes last night. The den was the scene of the third night's entertainment for visiting merchants and their families. It was a festive event. Choice bits from the regular Ak- Sar-Ben show were rendered in vaudeville form, as well as other vaudeville acts secured for the occa sion. The show was a success. Then came the carnival dance, with colored streamers, and ice cold punch. It is estimated that 1.000 couples swayed to the entic ing jazz music. It was one of the largest dances ever held in Omaha. Many of the dancers were employes of Omaha jobbing houses, but a majority were visiting merchants, the largest number ever assembled at a merchant market week enter tainment. The program for today, the last day of the eighth annual merchants' market week, includes an airplane flying exhibition, a dinner and dance, and the distribution of $1,000 in prizes to visitors at the Omaha Field club.

A list of missing and unaccounted for which at one time was as high as 25,905, gradually was reduced un til for weeks it remained at two.

Attorney General Palmer makes it clear that the Department of Justice is watch ing closely dealers suspected of profiteering or hoarding and that prosecutions will result when con gress passes the amendment to the food control law.

"I don't want to go into a league at all, personally, but I didn't make the issue. Now, I am particularly anxious to find a way out of it if we must go in. That is what the senate wants to do now: a reservation which will provide a method of withdrawal. "Do any of you want to go into a league that you can't get out of?" All over the hall there were cries of "no, no," "Is there an American who wants a foreign nation to say when and where the Monroe doctrine shall apply?" went on the 'speaker, and there were cries of "no." Prolonged cheers greeted his strictures on the presence of Ameri can troops in Siberia and there was cheering when he asserted that one of the senate's differences with the president was the former's insis tence of an amendment to the league of nations plan which would make it impossible to send Ameri can boys to fight anywhere except by order of their own government Cat Calls for Wilson. The interruptions grew more fre quent and excited as the senator proceeded. When he spoke of the power in the hands of the president, there were cries of "Take it away from him, cat calls, boos and cheers. ' "Before we talk of that let's see to it that he is not given more power," shouted the Idaho senator, as soon as he could make himself heard. The crowd cheered wildly. "They want us to sign on the dotted line; they say our amend ments take time," went on the sena tor and a spectator called out, "It took Wilson six months. "Yes," said the speaker, taking the cue, and it took George Washing ton seven years to gain the inde pendence from George III that they now want to give back to George V."
