Soclety HICAGO society is planning for a Spanish ball to be given at the First Regiment armory. Two prominent matrons have undertaken to provide a ‘‘really true” Spanish cafe for the evening, at which the Spanish costumed dancers of Spanish dances may partake of Span- ish food in Spanish style. Mrs. Orville E. Babcock will head a group of women garbed In cos- tumes copled from those worn by Paviowa, and Mrs. Austin Niblack will Jead the “Gitanos’ group, one of the most effective pageants of the ball. The “Gitanos” will be dressed in white tarlatan skirts, white satin bodices, white silk shawls, red roses and Spanish fans. Of course, the men will look quite the real thing, too, with black velvet vuieros, white silk shirts with low turned collars, and long Spanish trousers with wide, flaring bottom, Among the former Omahans in the “Gitanos” group will be the Misses Florence and Alice Cudahy and Mr. Edward Cudahy, jr. Mr. Charles Dalmores of the grand opera company is to be the bull fighter of the evening, and Prof. M. Lovett of the University of Chicago, as Charles V., will lead one of the most effective pageants of the occasion. It almost goes without saying that this brilllant affair is a charity ball and for a very worthy and needing charity, a hospital for women, which cares for over 4,000 yearly and depends upon voluntary contributions for its support.

SHOUT" CHARGES OF FRAUD Charges that taxpayers were being defrauded by the County Fair associa- | tion were shouted in the assembly | room of the county board when an evditor's report of the receipts and expenditures of the falr assoclation was' presented at yesterday’'s meet- ing. ' After Commissioners Harte, Lynch Best and O'Connor had expressed vigor- ous opinfons that all was not as it should be with the affalrs of the county fair soclety, a report showing a deficit of | 12,000 was referred to the county attorney and the committee of the whole. Com- missioner Harte in a heated speech asked | that' the county attorney” be requested | to make an investigation. Harte Makes Pointed Remarks. The county board was interested only in learning what disposition had been made by the falr soclety of about $6,000 which the county pald'to it, this year, accord- ing to law. Commissioner Harte rose to inquire what had become of the $6,000. Falling to find out, he made. several | pointed remarks, among which were the | following: “I belleve the taxpayers of this county | are about to rise up and call a halt on this useless expenditure of money. It looks to me like taking money from honest workers and spending it in a way that is not honest. “The fair association spent $32,00 on a little falr out there when all the exhibits were not worth more than $2,000." Lynch Favors Investigation. Commissioner Lynch declared an Inves- tigation should be made as to how the county's money was spent, “We should find out whether they didn't put the money in horse racing, which is forbidden by law,” he declared. Commissioner O'Connor used the harsh word “misappropriation” .in a short talk. Commissioner Best declared there was a feeling in the county that the fund had | ing. not been properly handled. A report from the fair soclety showed IMAHA, TUESDAY, that it received §,481, spent $2 that bills anidunting to $6,000 till { pending.
