I8 CONFIDENT OF VICTORY Gus Schenleln, the Baltimore wrestler who has undertaken the tough task of dumping Joe Stecher at the Lincoln Aud- ftorfum Thursday night, blew into Omaha Monday from Baltimore and will remain here a couple of days before going to the capital city for the match. Schonlein, or Americus as he is more familiarly known, Is, of course, confident of victory. “If Btecher couldn't throw Strangler Lewis,” sald Americus, ‘‘he can’'t throw me.

Americus worked yesterday afternoon at Tommy Dixon's athletic school in the Paxton block and Omaha wrestling fans can got a line on the Baltimore man's ability by watching him go through his #teps.

The debate was on the subject of Turkish properties in Mace- donia which were confiscated after the Balkan war. Heated remarks were ex- changed and there was constant inter- ruptions from the government side. M. Venizelos tartly reminded the gov- ‘ernment that its control of the chamber depended entirely on the votes of his party, The chamber was thrown. into confusfon and the sitting was suspended. The cabinet assembled hastily and as a result of its consultation M. Dragou- mis made concillatory explanations which brought about a settlement of the dis- | pute. : | {Crowd in Theater Takes Bomb for Bit of Stage Realism NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—A possible accl- dent in a London theater during the last Zeppelin rald was averted through the audience mistaking the explosion of a bomb droppeq nearby for a bit of stage reallsm, according to Colin A. Cockburn of Torunto, Ont, who arrived today on the steamer Tuscania from Liverpool. Mr.” Cockburn was in a theater on the night of October 13. He sald a Zeppelin ‘bomb exploded closo to the theater, but an automobile on the stage had just been cranked and the audience thought it was a cleverly arranged backfire of the motor. Laughs greeted the explosion ang the audience remained ignorant of the air rald until the close of the play. Lieutenant A. B. Ford of Cambridge, England, another arrival, sald he was here to Inspect American aerial appli- ances.

New Executive Committee.

They further contended that | the contractors are not observing the building ordinances. These passageways will be placed just outside of the curb lines.

Mra. George W.

The cap- tain and crew were taken off their burn- ing ship by the Suwanee, when it seemed as It the Colorado, which was heavily laden with cotton, by the fire. “Our building laws give the city build- ing department discretionary powers in a matter of this kind. It is obvious that Wwhen a heavy piece of material falls it is more likely to fall inside than outside of the sidewalk line,” asserted Mr. | Brown. Expressing himself further on the situa- tion, he sald: “I would not be a party to allowing these covered walks inside of the sidewalk line. Human line is of more mel, Structural Engineer Brown of the| value than the convenience of n few business interests that may suffer slightly because of building improve- ments. It is a matter which requires considerable of the possible dangers. Ac- cldents will happen in spite of the most careful bullding methods. Again, it must be considered that it is almost impossi- ble to erect a covered walk strong enough to withstand the impact of, for instance, a pelce of materlal welghing 5% pounds, falling 100 feet. The shock is terrific. It is the purpose of the city building de- partment to protect the public in mat. ters of this kind.” Business Women The Business Women's club of the Young Women's Christian assoelation entertalned its members at a banquet given in the association building, last evening. About fifty women were present, and beside the spread, were treated to the following: Reading, Miss Dora Sass: Club,” Dr. Nora Fairchil tunities,” Miss Frahm; “Club Friend- ship,” Miss Edna Wilson.
