The same action, it Is expected, will be taken in the case of Henry Hott, a brakeman on Pleot- to's. trmin, who was jointly Indicted with nim. Two indictments were returned against Picotte and Hott jointly. Jack White, against whom an indictment on the charge of keeping a gambling house was' returned by the grand jury Tuesday, was takep Into custody yesterday, and fur- nished & bond In the sum of $400. BA Burke, a negro, indicted on a similar charge, also furnished a bond in the sum of $400. Henry Sherman and W. C. Ross, were indicted at the November term charges pf gambling, appeared in odurt yesterday and, on entering pleas of gullty, were fined $100 cach and costs, which they paid. Fred Fowler, the former janitor in the Shugart block, Indicted on the charge of eriminal assault on Towa Smith, a 12-year- old_girl, turnished a bond yesterday morn- ing fn the sum of $500, with J.

Colling and Calamese’ were ar- ralgned yestarday before Judge Thornell and both pleaded not gullty to the charge. Thelr bonds were fixed at $3,000 each, but it was stated that In view of the fact that thelr trial is to take place soon they will not make any effort to furnish bail. City Solleitor Kimball, who is attorney for Calamese, contemplated habeas corpus corpus proceedings on behalf of the young negro, but yesterday stated that he would not, now do so seeing that the case was to be tried so soon and that he felt sured that his client would be acquitted. The rearrangement of the assignment of jury ‘cases caused by fixing the Collins murder case for next Wednesday made it necessary to postpone the trial of Frank Scott, the alleged “steerer” for thé Mabray gang of “big ktore” swindlers, which had been set scr next Monday. Scott's trial is now set for Jahuary 31. The postpons ment was agresable to Scott's attorneys, as they had other engagements at the time otigially Tixed for als trial.

To be or not to be the republican candl- date for mayor at the approaching spring election 'is & question which at present is troubling Councilman John Olson. He has been assured that ‘the nomination will be his if he will' aceept it, ‘but Mr. Olson is undecided. He is of the opinion that the dutles Involved on the position would take up too much of hig time and this he says he could not atford, as he has his grocery business to attend to. Mr. Olson is &t present . councilman-at-large and recently declared that he would not be candidate for renomination. He has, however, changed his mind In the last fow days, it is said, owing to the importunities of his friends, and would be willing to again be a candi- date ‘for councllman-at-large, but would not be willing fo run for mayor, Spencer Smith is being talked of as the republican candidate for mayor, but so. far he has not expressed any willingness to enter the race, Lee L. Bvans, president of the local aerie of Kagles, who announced himself as a candidate for the democratic nomination for councliman In the First ward, has now decided to fly a ltde higher. He announced yesterday that he would be a candidate as councllman-at- large on the democratic ticket. It is said that he will experience no difficulty in ob- talning the nomination, whatever he may run up against when it comes to the elec- tion. Eimer B.

E. Cavanaugh, formerly of McAllister, Okl., now a resi- dent of Pine Bluffs, Ark. Sutor and Cav- anaugh both went up against the Mabray &gang, the former to the tune of $5,000 and the latter for $37,00, he being, as far as has been made public, the largest con- tributor to the treasury of the “blg store" syndicate. At the time that Mabray and his asSociates were arrested In Little Rock both Sutor and Cavanaugh hastened to the Arkansas clty with the purpose of attach- ing what property they could of the men they sald had fleeced them Sutor sald he and Tavanaugh entered into an agreement for the division of the spolls, but that n the final cleanup he was “Miked" by Cavanuagh, and brought suit against Cavanaugh for $700.

FIVE LEAGUES RUNNING CLOSE Three Teams Are Separated by but Five Games in the Omaha League and Others Are Nearly Hotly Conteste With more than half of the season of the bowling leagues gone the races In the five blg leagues are very close, in fact, it is impossible at this time to attempt to plek the winner of any of the five. This is probably due to the fact that many new bowlers have jolned the teams of the leagues and developed into very good men from the start, making it possible for the weaker teams to greatly strengthen and be In the race. In the Omaha league, the oldest organi- zation in the city, but five games separate Mets Bros., Storz Triumphs and the Luxus teams, the first three. The Commercial league has the prettiest race in the town, only three games sep- arating Klauck’'s Glendales, Omaha Bicycle company, Loch's Willow Springs and the O'Brien Monte Christos, the four leading teams. This Is exceptional for a league race at this time of the season. In the Cellar league but six games sep- arate the Beselin Mixe now leading and the Maney Sunkists, Derby Woolen Mills and the Excelsiors. The new Boosters league are also having an exciting chase. The Yousem Colts have gone Into first place, with the Union Pa- cifics, Signal Corps and the Cudahys close on thelr trail. Hardly a week goes by that some of the league teams do not pick up some new bowler for the game was never as popular as it is at present. The Big Pill Rollers. Ratekin, the Benson Eagle base ball player, has the making of a pretty good bowler. Another ygar in the brush should enable him to get control and he will likely be drafted. Hinricks and Drinkwater, the two south- paws of the Commercial league, will bowl any pair of bowlers in the city that shoot from the off corner. Dad Huntington should get a partner and take on this pair of sharks. Kaines, the only screw ball bowler in the city, is at Boston attending the conven- tion of bricklayers. The Chabots miss him. Stick Cain has been made captain of the Chabot team. Cain is a good hustler and will have a winner before the springtime comes. He has signed Oley Johnson, who s one of the most promising younger bowlers in the oty and s now after Lally Lahecka, the Derby Mill find. Sineo reorganizing the MoCord-Brady company’'s Advos have won seven out of their last nine games and have been pitted against the Luxus and Metz teams at that. 1 Marty Martin is looking for some more matches. Since Jack Mann left town it has been very lonely for the shooting kid. Fritcher is fighting hard for the leader- ship in the new South Omaha league. Tucker thinks he can do it, too. Tommy Reynolds wants to know who took his shoes, the l0ss of which was the cause of him laying out Tuesday night. Kerr is not using the J. H. H. dope ball any more, since getting over 600 in his last league game with the 0O, King Denman has been styled the posing bowler. Nobody in the city has a better aelivery and to say it Is graceful sounds like flattery, but it Is just the same. Our own Russ McKelvey is coming back into his stride and is making some very good scores. Jimmy Lyons, the tantalizing Molony, has lost his ball and Is using one of the croquet manufactures. The Cudahy team drew a lot of hard luck splits the other night and lost two of their three games, putting a crimp into their marea to the front. The last game was lost by but elght pins, Jimmy Delaney will give a bowling party on the private alleys at Francisco's Friday night. Twelve people will comprise the party. The Mitchell brothers will take on the Norgard twins Saturday night for a stake, brothers against brothers, WITH THE BOWLERS, The People’s Store won two games three from the Cudahys last night.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20.—Jack O'Brien's ring generalship tonight saved him from a terrible beating and possible knockout at the hands,of Al Kaufmann of San Fran- clsco In a six-round bout before the Na- tional Athletic club tonight, At the ¢lose of the fight both men were bleeding from the nose and mouth and O'Brien had a badly-swollen eye; Kauf- mann, however, was in far better condition than the Philadelphlan. There was a ted- lous delay in getting started because Kaufmann insisted on the gloves being weighed. After this hitch the men were soon in action. O'Brien had once defeated Kautmann in Sdn Francisco and the Californian was & trifle too anxious or he might have duplicated O'Brien's feat. When the bell rang for the opening the men rushed to a clinch and in the breakaway O'Brien sent two stralght lefts to the nose. Kauffmann rushed his oppon- ent around the ring but O'Brien would stop suddenly and jolt m hard right or left to the face, Thers was little damage done in the first round, but fn the second Kauffmann drove his right under O'Brien’s heart and crossed a left to the jaw, causing O'Brien to clinch. The minute rest refreshed O'Brien wonderfully and he had all the advantage of the third round. His exertions seemed to weaken him, however, and had it not been for his clinching in the fourth round O'Brien would have probably been knocked out. About the middle of this round Kauff- mann drove a wicked right to the wind and hooked -a viclous left to the chin. O'Brien dropped to his knees and when he arose he rushed to a clinch. His clever tootwork saved him. In the fifth and sixth rounds O'Brien would not allow the Californian to get set. The Philadelphian would jab the nose with a left and then rush to a clinch before Kauffmann could land with effect. In the middle of the sixth round Kauffmann caught O'Brien coming in and almost lifted him off his feet with a right upper- cut. O'Brién clinched and saved himself. It is doubtful whether O'Brien could bave lasted another round, even with all of his brilliant footwork. Kauffmann gave his welght at 19% pounds, while O'Brien sald he weighed 186 pounds, MID-WEST BOWLERS AT ST. LOUIS Teams from Nebraska, Iowa and Kan- ans Are in Tournament. ST.

Griffith has not made a definite announcement, there seems little doubt that Drake wili drop the Missourl Tigers from its schedule next fall. The Missouri management has dilly daliied so the blue and white has practically decided to take on the Kansas Jayhawkers in pref- erence to Missouri, Kansas will be a better drawing card | than Missourl herc and there is litle doubt that the Drake-Kansas game at Lawrence |game at Columbia. Last fall Drake drew a big crowd at Columbla and the receipts were only 51,800, The probabie date of the Drake-Kansas game is October 22, Cornell has written asking for a game {wllh Drake, but it is likely that Manager Griffith ‘will keep the same teams on the schedule for the preliminary games next fall, so Coach F'!nger'. fast aggregation will not be seen on the local gridiron. lowa-Ames Freshman Meet.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 20.—By carry- ing one passenger in his biplane on a twenty-two mile cross-countrv trip from Aviation fleld to a point half a mile out over the ocean, by taking another passen- ger on a twelve-mile flight over the fields, and by taking three other passengers, one at a time, on short flights, Louls Paulhan yesterday established a new world's record for heavier-than-air machines. No other aviator has taken up So many. passengers In one day and no other aviator has taken a woman for a high flight over fields and woods and villages and surf for more than twenty miles. Paulhan salled at an altitude of from 500 to 1,000 feet over Redondo Beach, Ve- nice-by-the-Sea and other resorts toward Point Firmin. There were no life buoys tled to the machine to save them from death in the waves should they fall.

These articles will describe the methods of campaigning in England as contrasted with those in the United Statss. They will explain exactly what the budget stirred up such a great commotion. They will include amus: ing features of the campaign, such as the heckling of speak- ers, the warfare waged by the militant suffragettes, the campaigning by noble ladies:and backwoods barons who have emerged from oblivion for the occasion, and all the issues and incidents of the great campaign in which the English people will decide the most momentous questions ever left to the verdict of an electorate. Beginning January Twenty A Co much. Charles K. Hamliiton made three starts in an attempt to lower Paulhan's altitude record of 4,165 feet. On his first flight Hamilton rose 466 feet, on his second 300 feet and on his third about 500 feet. Paulhan, on the seashore track, exceeded this without any effort at record-breaking. Hamilton's machine was not working well enough to encourage him to go higher on the spiral pathway. Gill-Dosch Machine Injured. The Gill-Dosch machine met with an ac- cident that eliminates it from any work tomorrow. This is an American machine owned by H. W. Gill of Baltimore. It has been tested out several times, but each time it has met with trouble. This time the trouble was serious. At a height of trom thirty to 100 feet it circled the fleld once, and then came down with a crash that wrecked the lert piane. Hillary Beachey, the driver, was not injured. Glenn H. Curtiss made two appearances. The first time he went around the course three times, and the second he tried for a speed record, His lap was 2:19, seven sec- onds from the record. Tomorrow is the last day of the meet. Curtiss, immediately after the meet, will go to Hammondsport, N. Y., to start work on a model biplane, a heavier one than he has used here. He claims that he will dem- onstrate with this new machine that he can get along without the Wright patent. Speed Assocla The annual meeting of the Nebraska made this trip and other perilous flights this afternoon with the ease of a run in a taxicab, The passenger carrying record is held by’ Orville Wright, who flew with Captain Engelhardt for one hour and thirty-five minutes at Berlin last fall, but Wright aid not leave the course where he could land at will. Mrs. Paulhan and Mrs, Bishop. Paulhan was gone thirty-three minutes on his twenty-two-mile trip, He had as a passenger his wife. His twelve-mile trip was made with Clifford B. Harmon of New York. Besides these, he took up Mrs. Cort- landt W. Blshop, wife of President Bishop of the Aero club of Amerlcan, Lieutenant Paul Beck of the United States Army Sig- nal corps, Willlam Randolph Hearst, a newspaper publisher, and another . news- paper man. The flights were made under perfect at- mospherie conditions. Barller in the after- noon, the wind had been “puffy” and the other aviators had gone back to thelr tents after trying the course for a few laps. While the crowd waited patiently in the burning sunshine, Paulhan went over the parts of his machine. At 2:27 o'clock he put on his yellow cloak and helped’ his wite up to her high perch. Then he flew out over the grand stand to give the big crowd greeting. With their cheers sounding faintly he left the course on his next lap and headed for the ocean. In ten minutes he had become a blur agalnst the sunlit clouds that curtained the Pacific. At 2:50 o'clock, Paulhan again came in sight, and at 3 o'clock he landed directly in front of the grand stand. He recelved congratula- tions and was taken down the narrow of frantle people, 5o that all could get a good look at him. Dummy Dynamite Bom As he was In an amlable mood he was besieged with pleas to take friends up. He returned to his machine and began to make this, part of the program. Lieuteant Beck, on his trip, took dummy dynamite bombs to attempt to throw them from a height to a measured place on the ground. This was a test made for the bene- fit of the army.
