The Cudahy kldnnping Case.

OMAHA Neb., Dec. 24.-There was a
decisive development in the Cudahy
kidnapping case Sunday, although the
disclosure is negative in kind. 1t has
been learned that there were two
bandits, not three, implicated in the
abduction. One of the outlaws has
been eliminated. The dark-complex-
toned man with the black mustache
and black hair tinged with gray, so
infinitely described my Miss Maud
Munshaw, was in the Office of Chief
Donahue yesterday afternoon and was
there confronted by Eddie Cudahy,
his supposed victim. After carefully
scrutn1ing him, the boy said: "That
is not the man, He is not tall enough
by an inch and half and he's not
broad enough. He's too small in
every way"

CAUCUS
Of Republican Members

To Find a Way Out on the Porto
Rican Bill.

Washington, Feb. 24.-(Spl)-A Re
publican conference preliminary to the
House Porto Rican bill, was held last
night at the residence of Representa-,
tive Mccall About 16 members of the
House were present. This meeting
represented entirely the opposition to
the passage of the Porto Rican bill of
the Ways and Means committee, and
assurances were received that % Re
publicans would vote against the meas
ure. All the Republicans who have
been prominently mentioned in op.
position were participants in the con-
ference last night.
The policy advocated and finally de-
clared was to force the House leaders
in the Ways and Means committee to
voluntarily withdraw the bill for mod
itication. In case this movement fails,
the opponents of the measure will
make motion to recommit the bill
to the committee. Representative
Richardson, the minority leader, has
said that the Democrats would sup
port such motion.
The Republican opponents desire,
however not to vote against mem
bers of the majority party on the

Surprise In the CARRIER
Bribery Case.
Longacre Ordered to Pay Ali
mony to Wife.
Restrained From Encumbering Pro.
perty-Court News.

Since the commencement of the ac.
ton to set aside the will of Banker
John B. Woods there has been much
talk as to the value of the estate.
1t is claimed that large part of 1t
had been spent in litigation. This is
not true. On the contrary the estate
is richer by $4,000 now than it was
when the contest was instituted.
One of the attorneys interested in the
case, informed II reporter for the Dem
ocrat that the estate was now worth
$4,000. At the time of Mr.. Woods
death his property would not have
sold for more than $120,OOO.
There is no doubt of the settlement
of the action. The heirs and legatees
have reached an agreement as to how
the property shall be divided The
legatees, not members of the family
will receive 80 per cent of the amount
given them by the will This will
be $4,000, leaving $4,000 for the
five children of Mr.. Woods and the
children of his deceased son, Charles
That portion of the estate which goe
to the family will be divided into six
equal parts. The five living children
will receive 1-6 each, the other Dor.
tion going TO the children of Charles
Woods. All parties interested have
announced their Willingness to set
tie on this basis. AS soon as the re
leases have been properly signed, tho
case will be marked Settled ant
the division will be made. This will
end one of the nose bitterly contested
cases in the history of the county.
