URGES GRANDSON
TO MARRY GIRL
SAYS NINON GO0DE WAS
WR0NGED
Young Woman Charged With Burg
larry Is Promised Help by
Wealthy Uncle in the
East

Leaning on the arm of Police Matron
Gilbert, her pretty face partly concealed
by the folds of a heavy veil, Ninon
Goode, the young woman under arrest
on charge Of burglary, left the police
station early yesterday morning and
visited her rooms on North Hill street.
The young woman. since her incar-
ceration, although receiving many at
tentions not granted the ordinary prls-
oner, has been so overwhelmed by the
prospect of going to states prison that
her grief and humiliation have made
her many friends, both among the Off
GERS and her companions in the cells.
On the other hand, the action of her
companion, Eugene II. Allen, in throw
ing the blame of the robberies on the
girl has caused great indignation
among the detectives and police officers
while the prisoners treat him with open
contempt.
For the first time a meeting between
the young woman and the grandmother
of the young man was effected yester-
udy hC SiAi was tohNh ~
the residence of the grandmother, On
Bunker Hill street.
All bitter feeling had disappeared,
and the young woman was received
with courtesy by the relative of her
companion. II had not known of your
relations with my grandson until after
his arrest" said the woman, "but 1
feel that he has greatly wronged you
by his conduct and should correct his
mistake by making you his wife,
The grandmother later visited Allen
at the station. She broke down upon
seeing the boy in the custody of Off
GERS, and, seeing his grandmother's
grief, Allen sobbed aloud. The grand
mother advised the boy to take his
punishment like a man.
Word was received yesterday from
a relative of Miss Goode in Kansas
City. The missive was a telegram
from her uncle, who is prominent
banker there, and was full Of encour-
agement and a promise of help was ex-
tended. 1t is understood that one Of
the leading criminal lawyers of Los
Angeles has been secured to defend the
girl.

PLUMBER WENT
To OIL TRUST
REVELATIONS ON THE FAMOUS
HARPER WHEAT DEAL
Evidence In Bankruptcy Proceedings
Indicate That Ten Million Dollars
Profits Went to coterls Of
Standard Men
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, March ga sensational
sequel to the Harper wheat corner of
1887 Is promised in the near future
when the bankruptcy proceedings Of
e. L. Harper are aired in court at
Bristol Va. Evidence is now being
gathered in Chicago to show the as
founding operations of a number of
financiers connected with the Stan
dard oil company and how these oper-
ations led to the greatest wheat panic
in the history Of the country. These
developments will show, 1t Is said, that
the greater part of the $1O,O00,OOO lost
that memorable occasion went into the
pockets of this ooterle. 1t Is alleged
that these Standard Oil men were os-
tensibly hackers of Harper, then a
Cincinnati banker, but that through
treachery they sold him out and en-
quilted him in disgrace and ruin--end-
ing in the Ohio penitentiary.
Many Chicago board of trade men
and former wheat operators are in
terested in the Harper proceedings.
Judgments against Harper are held in
Chicago to the extent of several mill
lion dollars Many of the creditors are
dead and others are scattered about
the world. c. j. Kershaw, of the
firm bearing his name, is living on the
Pacific coast.
Twenty-three firms failed on the
board of trade on June IA, 1887 and at
least fifty other firms lost all they
had. Thousands of families were ut
terly ruined, and the disaster extended
in various ways into the lives of
countless other persons.
Harper is now attempting to have
himself declared bankrupt, although he
is vice president and manager of the
Union Iron and Steel company of New
York, a concern with capital of $6-
100000. When the panic came and his
bank failed Harper was tried for loot
ing the institution. He was convicted
and sent to prison for ten years. He
served six years and was pardoned.
When released Harper went to New
York and organized the Steel company.
of which he is now the head.
Out of the wheat corner arose NUM-
berless lawsuits resulting in judgments
aggregating between $5,0OO,O00 and $10,-
100000. The government holds s3.000,-
900 of these judgments in behalf of de-
postors, who lost their money in the
failure of the bank of Cincinnati.

NEGREss' HEAD TOO
HARD EVEN FOR AK
Racial Characteristic Of Skull Proba-
bly, Saves Woman From
Fatal Injury

Because she asked him to repay a
small sum Of money which he had bor-
rowed from her few nights previous
Laura Scott, negress. who lives on
San Pedro street, was made the victim
of an assault by Frank Mcveigh, also
negro. That she was not instantly
killed was due as much to the racial
characteristic of thick skull as to
anything else, for Mcveigh hit her on
the head with heavy hand ak and
succeeded in cutting a deep cash from
which the blood flowed freely
According to the story told the on.
GERS by the Scott woman, Mcveigh
borrowed some money from her a few
nights ago, and promised to give T..
back Tuesday. Last night, when she
went for the money, the woman found
that Mcveigh had gone to 1S1 Central
avenue.
Thinking to get her money before it
was all spent for liquor, the woman fol-
lowed McVeigh to the Central avenue
place and found him there. When she
asked for her money Mcveigh seized a
hand ak and hit her over the head
with 1t.
McVeigh says the Scott woman has
been prosecuting him for some time,
and that the blow he dealt her on the
head was only to warn her that he
was not to be bothered.
The pair was taken to police head
quarters and McVeigh locked behind
the bars. Although she had been hit
powerful blow and the scalp had been
cut open the Scott woman did not lose
consciousness for an instant, and after
she had given her testimony to the
desk sergeant walked out of the sta.
tion as though nothing unusual had
occurred.

A "C0NCEALED WEAPON"
Is WOMAN'S TONGUE

NEW YORK, March 22.-Edward L..
Cook, who dispenses New Jersey JUS
tice at Madison, in that state, has de-
cided that a woman's tongue when used
upon a justice of the peace becomes a
concealed weapon.
Two women had appeared in his
court, one charging that the other had
called her names. The justice tried to
settle the case, and, after dismissing
the complaint, endeavored to make the
women shake hands. 1t was then that
they turned their tongues loose upon
the Justice.
He did not look up the law, but made
out a complaint under a section of the
disorderly act, which relates to con-
cealed weapons, and fined them $40
each. One of the women hurried to her
lawyer, who brought the matter be-
fore county judge for review. That
official set aside the conviction and
ordered the fines returned.

FEDERAL BUILDING REPAIRS
Several improvements Are 10 he
Made Under Orders from
National Capital.

Custodian Burrows has received a long
list Of improvements and repairs for the
federal building recommended by Chief
Structural Engineer Kort Berle of the SUI
pervising architects office and which are
ordered made by the supervising architect.
About month ago Mr.. Berle came to
Omaha, on request of Custodian Barrows,
TO inspect the building. II was ascertained
that there was slight settling of the
structure and few slight cracks were dis
covered in the floors and walls, which
were easily repaired.
The supervising architect has ordered an
choring the southwest wall at the top over
the roof to prevent expansion using the
same methods as were applied in the attic
floor in 1899. The court wall is being
pushed out Of plumb by the rafters and
this will be anchored by steel bars and
rafters. The copper covering of the roof
VIII be repaired, especially in the valleys
and guttering and the down spouts.
The question of painting the new west
half of the building is now under considera-
ton by the supervising architect
The wool panels over the transom bars
of the three east entrance doors are to be
removed and replaced with glass transoms.
thus materially adding to the light of the
main corridor
On this and other repair matters under
contemplation, Custodian Barrows has
been directed to prepare and forward pro-
pOsals for the work to be DONE
These improvements will add materially
70 the appearance of the building. which is
one Of the finest in the United States. 1t
must not be inferred, however, that the
building is on the point Of falling down or
going TO pieces The settling of the struc-
ture is not unexpected when it's great
weight is taken into consideration, and the
poor soil upon which it is built.
