BAD MAN IS CAUGHT.
W. G. Rogers, Omaha Billy Be-
lieved to Have Participated in
Columbia Heights Raid.
He Is Under Arrest at Council Bluffs
Will Not Be Brought to
Minnesota.

We. Rogers, better known in police
circles as Omaha Billy or the NE
braska Kid who is wanted in this city
for participating in the lold-up of the
Monte Carlo gambling house at Columbia
Heights last fall, is under arrest at Coun-
Gil Bluffs Iowa. He is held there on two
minor charges but it is understood that
he will be turned over to the authorities
at Clinton. Iowa, where he is wanted for
stealing s1,700 worth of diamonds from
the residence Of j. c. Fay, one of the
proprietors of the Daily Advertiser
Rogers was in Minneapolis last fall
| about two weeks previous to the raid
upon the gambling joint at Columbia
Heights. He associated freely with the
local gamblers and his presence was even
known to the police. But he was not
| molested. He was not seen after the raid
was made and the description of one of
the robbers given by Northern Pacific
brakeman tailed with that of Rogers.
After leaving Minneapolis it is known
that he went to Davenport, Iowa, where
his landlady said that he was tout late at
nights His partner was arrested at that
place for breaking into a laundry office
and Rogers then went to Clinton. He was
| at that city for several days and was
seen in the company of a crook known as
Burrier. A raid upon gambling house
at Clinton, similar to the Monte Carlo
raid was made, and the same night the
Fay diamonds were stolen
Omaha Billy" succeeded in getting
away from Clinton with the diamonds, but
Burrier was arrested and made a confess
sion, involving Rogers. Burrier told the
! officers that the two had done the job
and that Rogers had taken the diamonds
| to Omaha to sell them. Officers followed
and the diamonds were found in an
Omaha paWnshop. Rogers had been ar
rested in Council Bluffs on minor charges
but will be taken to Clinton.
The evidence against Rogers in connec-
tion with the hold-up Of, Monte Carlo at
Columbia Heights last fall is mostly cir
cumstantial and as the Iowa officials
have a good case against the man, he will
not be brought to Minnesota.

CUT A BLOCK IN TWO
1. S. Burlington Suggests a Site fol
the Auditorium Now Under
Consideration.
His Idea Is Warmly Approved by
w. L. Harris of the Sub.
Committee.

Another admirable site for public au-
ditoriun building has been suggested by
l.. 5. Burlington, the architect. Those to
whom the scheme has been submitted
have given hearty APPROVAL.
Mr.. Burlington has suggested site
running thru from Seventh to Eighth
streets in the block lying between sNicol-
vista out Mary place. This block is abb
normally long, having a length Of $50 feet
which would permit the dissection of the
block by a strip 200 feet wide and yet
leave two moderately large blocks.
Several arguments for this site have
been suggested, the strongest point of
which is its. accessibility. It. is within q
block Of all Hennepin lines; within block
and half Of all First avenue lines and
only a block and a half from all Sixth
street loop lines. 1t faces three streets,
Seventh, Eighth and Mary place and is
only a half block from the two ave-
nues. The arrangement gives excellent
facilities for the approach of carriage.
The plaza all around the building makes
room for countless exits from the build
ing, and it is calculated that the structure
could be emptied on shorter notice with
less inconvenience on this site. than from
any other site yet put forward.
One Of the ways suggested to acquire
this property is by condemnation for
park purposes, the expenses to be as
sessed back on the adjoining property
Owners Of adjacent lots probably would
not object to this proceeding, as it would
increase the value Of their property i'm
mediately and materially. It would pro-
vide $40 feet frontage on either side of the
auditorium site, admirable for store build
ings. Thus the owners would be so mucf
ahead, it is suggested because the only
| frontage of the lots at the present time is
on either Seventh or Eighth streets, bu
opening on the plaza surrounding the
auditorium the lots lying next would have
a double front.

STARTED AS SYLVIA
Frank Lane, a Popular Roosevelt
Player, Now Studying for
the Stage.
His Family Objected, but He Was
Determined Upon Theatri-
cal Career.

Frank Lane wasn't satisfied with the
mimic" stage, AS the critics say, his
success as an amateur was instantaneous
but he wasn't content with the plaudits of
audiences that wen wild over home talent.
Besides that, Mr.. Lane had reals. his
histrionic ability and the ambition which
he had manfully undertaken to stif1e to
make way for the promising commercial
cvareer ahead of him refused to be
smothered. It grew until it became the
overmastering desire of his being. His
dramatic genius is now budding in New
York.
Mr.. Lane who made such pronounced
hits in the Roosevelt club productions of
"The Viking" and 1.-The Queen of the Bal
let" was associated with the Hardwood
Manufacturing company up to two weeks
ago. Prior to that he had been a student
at the University and had taken an active
part in class plays put on by the students.
Absorbed as he had become in things
dramatic, he showed a ready aptitude for
comemrcial life and had won his way
quickly to an enviable position of trust
with the Hardwood company. But the
longing for the stage as a profession was
not a passing fancy to be overcome easily.
Soon after the Roosevelt club closed it's
short season with THE Queen of the
Ballet Mr.. Lane informed his intimates
that he had made his farewell appearance
Will tIletL OTSdHlZdIlOn ana InaC "nen
next he trod the boards he hoped it would
be as a professional before a metropolitan
audience. He made up his mind to go to
New York.
His closest friends never dreamed, how
ever, that he would leave so suddenly,
altho he had intimated that midsummer
would see him looking for a chance to
break onto the stage in New York His
abrupt departure is explained by the fact
| that relatives frowned upon the young
mans determination to be an actor, and
had tried to dissuade him from such a
career. rr 49t ~
It was as Sylvia in "The Viking" which
the Roosevelt club put on as it's first dra-
matte venture last year, that Mr.. Lane
first came prominently before the Mime
apolis public. AS a female impersonator
he made hit. He danced divinely, sang
well, and aped lovely woman with such
consummaH skill in his $50 gown that
it was hard to believe that he was not
the real thing.
| He appeared in an equally prominent
feminine role this year in "The Queen OF
the Ballet dividing honors with the
leading members of the cast.
1t is not his ambition, his friends say
| to be a girl He aspires to the legiti.
mate, and those familiar with his work
are freely predicting that he will maze
good in such a way as fully to justify his
| venture

TOOK CARE OF DUFFY

Some sharp words were said to-day at
"a netting Of the special committee on
markets, ordinances and the aldermen of
the third and tenth wards to consider the
application of James I. Duffy for the re-
snewal of his franchise to conduct a public
hay and wood market. Duffy haA a
franchise to conduct market at Wash

as the lease and the franchise were both
expiring a business rival, w. D. Lyons,
stepped in and obtained the lease.
The aldermen were clearly Of the opin-
ion that the Duffy had been the victim
of very sharp practice and scored the
aforesaid rival and the owners of the
land In very plain language.
Feeling that Mr.. Duffy had been un-
fairly dealt with the committee voted
to transfer his franchise to a vacant
