FRAUD AT OMAHA
Is Alleged in Connection With
neutrality-suspicious.
Arrested.

Omaha, Neb., Oct 31.-A sensation
has developed in the department of ex-
hibits of the Omaha exposition, growing
out of the arrest of H. B. Hardt, as
sistant manager Of the department, and
general superintendent, on two war
rants. charging him with forgery.
Hardt denies the charge, and, in turn,
declares that he will make some coun-
tercharges that will cause more of
sensation than his arrest. What these
countercharges are can only be sur
missed, but the general impression is
that Hardt will allege crookedness in
other departments, and at least claim
leniency because he is not alone guilty.
In the meantime, a large number of
exhibitors, representing interests in all
parts of the country, are crying fraud,
and demanding rehearing and re-
adjustment of awards, which they bold
ly claim Hardt manipulated, for value
received, last week
The warrants for Hardt's arrest, were
sworn to by H. S. Cochran, represent
ing Scofield, Simmer & Teagle, and H.
A. Searle, of the Monarch Manufactur-
ing company. Both complaints allege
that Hardt changed the awards of the
judges so that the medals and certifi-
Gates of merit which should have gone
to the firms mentioned went to some
other firm, and the inference remains
that Hardt made these changes for con-
sideratiOns of more or less value.
Just before the awards were made
last week a certain element among the
exhibitors held an informal meeting, at
which Hardt was publicly presented
with a purse containing over $1,000. This
was said to be a mere token of the
good will of the exhibitors, but when the
award list was examined, and the dis
cOvery made, so it is alleged most of
those who had contributed to the Hardt
purse drew prizes, the rumOrs as to cor
ruptiOn became more pronounced.
At the same time, the five general
managers of the departments of the ex-
position were arrested at midnight on
warrant of contempt before Judge Scott
This is an old fight between the two
Streets of Cairo in which the Oppo-
sition management is alleged to have
violated the injunction of that court.
The manager of the Streets of Ma
tons accuses the head attorney of the
exposition of holding him up on the
side for $500, and has published the
alleged details of how it was done.
There are other charges of a graver
nature touching a person high in auth
GRITTY of the exposition, which are ex-
pected to be made public any moment
They have been hanging fire ever since
the exposition opened, and the publica-
ton of all details is now imminent, when
1t is said a sensation of great nagni-
tude will be the result,

company left the theater in the afternoon
after the matinee performance they left
their stage clothes hanging the walls of
their dressing rooms When they return
ed for the evening performance they found
that the dressing room walls were not
adorned as they had left them.
Everyone of the chorus members of the
company lost something. One young ladys
loss amounted to but pair of hose, but
another young lady estimated her loss by
her entire stage apparel. This particular
member was unable to appear at all in the
evening performance.
The aid of the police was called in, but
no arrests have been made. After the
performance in the evening Manager
Crawford discharged A. B. Garman, the
man was intoxicated Saturday afternoon
and did not lock up the rooms, as he
should have done. He does not suspect
Garman, and his discharge was simply
for neglect of duty.

BALD HEADED WOMAN
Appears as Plaintiff in Suit for Di-
vorce.


A woman's hair, or rather lack Of it,
was the chief feature in a divorce case
in the district court today. 1t was the
suit Of Mrs. Louise Milliken against
Herbert A. ATilliken, at present SOL
der in the United States regular army.
Mrs. Nilliken is bald and wears an
auburn wig. Her mother tried to tell
Judge Hazen how she lost all her hair
while a child by a kind neighbor rub
bling ammonia on her head, but Judge
Hazen told her that there was no con-
tention about the loss of the hair and
that he was rushed and didn't have time
to hear the story. She persisted, how
ever, in trying to tell him the circun-
stance of the badness, stating that she
wanted the matter fully understood so
that the defense could not make out
that the loss of hair was due to ques-
tionable conduct on the part of her
daughter.
The defense was represented by Mr..
and Mrs. Noyes Milliken, father and
mother of Herbert A. N1illiken. They
were there simply to protest against
alimony and with the request that pro-
vision be made for them to see their
grandchild, a bright little girl of four
years. Judge Hazen took the matter
under adViSement.
