A COLOR AND SOUND CONCERT
Most Unique Exhibition on Record L
London.

London, July 3.-One Of the most
unique concerts on record took place
in this city before an audience COM
posed Of prominent musicians, artists
and scientists. A. w. Rimington has
invented color organ, through which
he expresses the relation, long known
to exist, between sound and color. The
instrument is based upon the analogy
between the sound octave and the color
octave, or solar spectrum, the scale Of
vibra lions being the same in each, and
the number of colors in the other. In
the front of the organ are discs repre-
senting the primary colors, violet, indi-
go, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
These are worked, simultaneously with
the sound-giving part Of the instrument,
by the depression Of the keys. The
effects were marvellous, the sweet
sounds Of the music being translated
into wonderful aurora borealis of
vivid colors and subtle tfpts Two pre-
ludes from Chopin presented sudden
changes of green, red and blue; the
overture to "Rienzi'' was marked by a
mystical mauve; and Schuman's music
was characterized by grays and browns
and indefnable compound tints.

Admiral Meade Was orr His Station
When the Trouble Occurred.
Washington, July 3.-Secretary Her
bert has furnished Commander Ide all
the papers in the case which resulted in
his being relieved Of his command. They
consist of a statement by Admiral
Meade and also by Assistant Secretary
McAdoo. Commander Ide will make an
explanation Of the circumstances from
his point of view. It is understood that
his contention is that Admiral Meade
was off his station at the time they met
in Panama and was entitled to no more
consideration than an ordinary citizen.
It is also said at the department that
many years ago Admiral Meade, then
commander, was in charge of Nara
gansett and Mr.. Ide was lieutenant
commander and executive officer. Trou-
BILE then occurred between them, and
the feeling has never subsidized.

HIS BODY HAS DISAPPEARED
Seljan's Bedroom Despatched by Blood
and His Clothing Soaked With
the Same Fluid.

ed individuals occupying murderer's
cells at the police station. a residence
resembling in many respects slaugh-
ter house and the unaccountable abb
sence Of John Seljan, are features OF
peculiarly mysterious tragedy which
is engaging all Omaha police and de-
tectives tonight. Seljan is the sup
posed victim and Mr.. and Mrs. Motto
Mikan, Anton Ruckovitz, John Uban
and John Heibunetz are the prisoners.
Robbery is the presumed object Of the
crime, but the feature most confusing
to the police is the absence Of the corpse.
A boarding house at 1880 Pierce street
is the scene Of the crime. A hasty ex-
animation Of the bedroom In which the
man is supposed to have been murdered,
showed unmistakable signs Of a bloody
conflict. Bloody footprints were found
on the bed quilt and pillow. The door
casing, wall and floor were stained
in several places with blood. A razor.
a pocket knife and an iron crowbar
were found in the bedroom, which, from
appearances, were used as weapons in
the struggle. The strange demeanor
of the inmates Of the house was such
as to prompt the detectives to place
them under arrest.
Several Of the persons had blood on
their clothes. All concerned are Poles.
Monday the missing man received 81 200
from the old country. To obtain this
money the crime was. it is thought,
committed. The police are of the opin-
ion that after it was committed, the
clothes Of the murdered man, which
were found on the river bank, were
placed there for the purpose Of leaving
the impression that the man committed
suicide by drowning. The body, it is
believed, had been removed from the
house during the night. The condition
Of the blood on the floor, indicates that
the killing could not have been done
much later than midnight. The fact
that Seljan's clothing and suspenders
| were soaked with blood is taken to in
dictate that he was killed soon after
he returned home last night and be-
fore he had undressed.
! One Of the men who were arrested
told one Of the officers that Seljan had
got large amount of money recently
The police are trying to find the body
Two trunks were taken from the house
during the night and sent to st. Louis
The police are investigating this clue
and think the body was cut up and
placed in the trunks.

One Indicted Safe RObher Pleads Not
Guilty Today.
The detectives are still at work on the
robbery committed at the office of the Alex
andria Ferry Co., at the 7th street wharf,
and the delay in getting the prisoner Ed
dy" Desmond here from Alexandria has
given the officers additional time to look
up evidence before taking the case into
court. The case of BILLY" Williams, who
is under arrest here for completely in the
safe blowing, was to have been called in the
Police Court today, but, predicted in
The Star last week. the witnesses went be-
fore the grand jury yesterday, and that
body returned an indictment which takes
the case out of the hands Of the Police
Court, and Williams, therefore, was not
given a hearing today. Eddy" Desmond
and a man known as Jack" Dempsey were
also indicted.
Nothing has been heard of the missing
Jack" Dempsey since the morning Of the
ago, although the officers have been en-
deavoring to locate him.
Desmond is still in Jail at Alexandria, and
so far as can be ascertained the warrant
of removal has not yet been signed by
Judge Hughes, although it has been about
week since the order was made by United
States Commissioner Fowler at Alexandria
Lawyer Bendheim, the prisoners counsel
has gone to Norfolk to appear before Judge
Hughes and make an effort to upset the
proceedings Of the United States commits
sioner and get his client released.
The officers here have no idea that he
will succeed, for should he be released on a
writ of habeas corpus or other proceedings
he would be Immediately rearrested on
bench warrant, based on the indictment
found yesterday, and requisition papers
would certainly bring him here.
Billy Williams this morning pleaded not
guilty to each indictment against him.
Judge McComas fixed the amount of bail
at 81 500 in each case.
