George Lucas and william Hathaway. in
dicted for statutory assault upon lola
Coulthard, withdrew their plea of not guilty
and entered one of guilty yesterday after
noon after Judge Baxter had ordered a
Jury drawn to try them. The court promptly
sentenced Lucas to three years at hard la
Dor in the state penitentiary. his term to
date from January II, 1902, which was the
day OF his arrest and inearcerati ZION In Doug

years at hard labor on one charge and the
other one. identical ,ip- nature, was nolled
by the county attorney. The court took
cognlzance OF the %culprits' consideration in
saving the county the expense Of a trial and
OF the alleged fact chat the girl pretended
to be older than she ds, but held that the
latter fact Is no defense In law.
The girl was In court in charge of the
matron OF the city jail. but sat With her
mother and sister. She wept when sentence
was pronounced on L0cas. who was also In
tears, but she revived and was smiling be-
fore she left the court room fifteen minutes

Musical

The unique lines re-established his repu-
~tation, IL that were necessary, at the two
performances yesterday at the Boyd.
One hears so many bands that 1t would
seem a difficult undertaking to say which
was superior.
But with lines it is different. He has
the only band in the country on tour which
is growing more and more like an or
chestra.
The orchestral resources of the lines
band are developing every season. He has
this season arranged his band on the SYM
phony orchestra idea and the results Justify
his idea.
lines Is a broad musician. He is inn
bued with the highest possible artistic mo-
tives and he never caters to or compro-
misses with the inferior element in his
art. When he gave up playing trombone
solos he did a good thing for himself and
his art, but his friends said that he made
a mistake. Time has proved that he was
right and his friends we're wrong. Then
he decided to cut out all cheap or popular
trashy music hall productions, and his
friends said again that he would suffer
for 1t.
Finally, he determined that In big eli
makes he would not bring his brasses out
in front, on such things, for instance, as
the "Sextette," from Lucia" and the
march Love is King Then his friends
said: Surely, this is the climax; he never
can do this" But he did, and the au-
diences still were satisfied. and today lines
is in the enviable position Of q man who
can dictate to the people what they should
have. and they seem willing to accept his
judgment.
I.@o, 49,. NJ wn,.afa uvhan he am
ducts. He conducts everything from mem>
DRY, even the Accomplishments to the solos.
He knows his solos, his ~soloists, and his
men. Therefore he gets results. There is
no doubt but that lines and his Orgabizn.
tion stand absolutely alone as a mediator
between the ordinary good concert band and
the symphony orchestra. lines is an edu-
Gator, because he never bends to the vul-
gar, but always leads to what is best in
musical literature.
The band is better than IL ever was and
the new arrangement of having the wood
wind on each side OF the conductors stand,
while the brasses are in the background,
the bass brasses being raised on a dais al
the extreme rear. is a most excellent idea
The band is approaching nearer to the or
chestrai idea every year.
The accomplishments particularly that to
the 'Toreador" song from "Carmen') were
played with the precision, the repression
and the sympathy which might be expected
from an excellent pianist or a musicianly
orchestra, but not to be looked for from q
band.
The delicate lace-like work OF the wood

certs. and their pianissimo tones we're GER

mentioned above. His attorneys called at
tention to the fact that he had not had
peaceful possession Of the child for a long
time and the court stipulated that he should
have a special visit Of one week in March
or A7ril.
After the decision Mr.. Ewart said: This
suits me thoroughly. 1t is all l hoped for.
l had offered to settle this matter with
the stipulation that the child be kept In
the state, but they would not agree to that.
Now that the court has included such stipu-
lation in its ruling l am content. This
will bring about a settlement Of the whole

ment, however, is that of w. L. Hand, one
Of Mr.. Ewart's attorneys, who dictated a
motion for a new trial on the ground that
the finding, of the court was not borne out
by the facts, and remarked as he did so
that the case was almost certain to be
carried to the supreme court"
At the conclusion Of the proceedings that
have kept the parties In court most Of
three days there were no dramatics and
no sobs. Mr.. Ewart crossed the room and
kissed his child, but the grandmother DIS
couraged any prolonged conversation. Mr..
Ewart called his brother, Louis Ewart, and

quickly and thrust his hand into his pocket.
The elder brother spoke reprovingly and
pulled at his coat to persuade him to turn

Dodder exclaimed: See there. That shows
the malice that is felt"

Both sides TO Announce

Suggests Appeal.

The conclusion OF the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings for the possession Of Ruth Ewart'
aged 5, came yesterday afternoon when
Judge Baxter gave her into the custody
Of the grandmother. Mrs. Ruth Dodder OF
1429 Franklin street, with the stipulation
that she be sent at the expense OF her
father, J. s. EwaFt OF Kearney, to visit
him there two months Of each summer va
cation, two weeks Of the Christmas holt
days, and at such other times as the con-
tending parties may be able to agree upon.
The father is also to be given leave to visit
the child at her grandmother's. whenever
convenient. and she is not to be taken out
OF the state. Both sides express them
selves as quite well satisfied with the ar
rangement. The. costs we're taxed to the
father, who is the respondent In the suit.
Before giving his ruling Judge Baxter re-
viewed the case briefly from the time Mrs.
Ewart went to California for her health
to that church hour. three weeks ago Sun
day morning, when Ewart seized the child
from her grandmother's care as they were
returning from Sunday school. and drove
TO Council Bluffs with her. The court
touched upon the strained relations OF the
father and the mother of the girl and OF
the contrary desires OF each as to the
girls disposition, and. called attention to
the fact the child had been In the grand
mothers care since 2 years old. -t ~
Remarks of the-JudRe.

continued Judge Baxter. that the father Is
n reputable, honorable and high-minded
gentleman. perfectly capable Of educating
the little one. sincere in his affection for
her, and in every sense a proper person to
have her care and custody. But the court

his interests In the elevator business, to be
much away from his home in Kearneyi
that during his absence the child would
be in the care OF the p~aternal grandmother,
who is conceded to be a comparative
stronger to her, and who has admitted on
the witness stand that she probably could
never have any very great affection for the
child; tina the maternal grandmother all
ready has such affection. has no one else
to look after and would give her every
future thought and care to the little one,
and, finally, that the child has her play

feels most at home here. The father wishes
her in Kearney. but her presence In Omaha
represents the wish OF the mother. who
has equal right. These circumstances, then
induce the court to decide the matter In 4
