The blissful disregard Of the small boy
for fine fabric and his ability to adapt
things in general to his needs was illus
trated recently by the young son Of a
prominent Omaha family, and the story
IS now going the rounds as one OF the best.
Ills mother, one of the most prominent
members of the fashionable set, had been
called west by the Illness Of her mother,
and few days later business called his
father out of town for few days He
departed with the instruction to his young
son that should he become i'll he should
send Immediately for the family physician
and trained nurse. A family friend and
neighbor was asked to look after the
youngster. The recent snowstorm resulted
in a bad cold for the boy, and according
20 promise he sent a hurry call for the
physician, trained nurse and family friend
When they arrived the youngster, who is
in his early teens, greeted them sitting up
In bed robed in a lingerie creation OF fine
lace and hand embroidery. The nurse
gasped, the physician laughed and the

With Lent but two days away and Easter
coming April 19, the season of 19O7-s may
practically be said to have closed To be
sure the entire fashionable set does not
embrace the Catholic faith. but sufficient
portion Of II does TO render sny guest list
incomplete from now on, and there are
few hostesses who viii care to entertain
pretentiously under the circumstances In
consequence the luncheon and kensington
and bridge club promises to afford the
chief diversion. OF course there will be
other things and undoubtedly some Of size.
but these affairs will be the exception.
The two card parties to be given wednes-
day and Thursday afternoons by Mrs. Fred
Pearce are the most promising affairs

CAPTURED ON SHIP.
PRISONER ESCAPES
Officer of Steamship Lord Seton
Accused of Having Stolen
Valuable Jewels
When Arrested Denies Crime in
New South Wales, but
Later Gets Away

Charged by the police of Sydney,
New South Wales. with having in his
possession jewelry, Masonic emblems
and other valuable articles stolen from
the Sydney warehouse, Clyde Johnson,
alias Jewell. second steward OF the
steamer Lord Seton. escaped from that
vessel yesterday despite a watch kept
on his movements by the local police.
Detectives are now searching the city
for Johnson, whose escape is clouded
In mystery.
Chief of Police Biggy received a tele-
gram from the Sydney police asking
him to interview Johnson, alias Jewell.
upon the arrival of the Lord Seton.
The Lord Seton arrived Sunday. but
lay in the stream until yesterday, at
which time Detectives Conlon and
Mackey boarded the vessel with the
customs officers.
Johnson was found and admitted his
identity, but denied any connection
with the name Jewell or stolen valu-
ables. A careful search of Johnson's
baggage and the cabins for the stolen
articles revealed nothing.
Johnson, who boarded the vessel at
Newcastle after she left Sydney. was
found to be suffering from trachoma
and denied a landing. 1t was planned
lO keep MIN unOer StrlCI surveillance
until today. when a thorough search
of the ship from stem to stern was to
have been undertaken. How Johnson
escaped the police are at a loss to ex-
plain. The search of the ship will prob
ably be undertaken despite Johnsons s
disappearance.
Johnson is an Englishman, but the
police know nothing OF his antecedents.
His only baggage when he embarked on
the ship was two small grips, which
were searched by the police yesterday.

NO QUARTER WILL
BE GIVEN VICTIMS
Many Quarters for Charity

Fair Soldiers, However

Like q rolling SNOWFALL the Tag
Day" army of invasion is growing rap
idly in numbers and enthusiasm. From
all sides offers of help are being re-
ceived by the Children's hospital tag
day COMMITTEE, and absolute success is
inevitable.
A conference of the commanding off,
GERS was held yesterday afternoon in the
rooms of General Mrs. Helen Hecht at
the Fairmont hotel. Charles w. Fay
and Milton Esberg, who have been as
sisting the women in planning the
campaign, were present at the confer
ence and explained just what would be
required of each officer and her pri-
Yates. Fay urged each of the six lieu
tenant generals present to go on re-
connoitering tour in her district with
her captains between now and Satur-
day, so that when on November Z Cen
eral Mrs Hecht orders her army into
action there will be no confusion and
each officer will be familiar with the
lay of the land. This plan Will be
adopted by the lieutenant generals.
About o'clock Saturday morning
the attacking army will open hostili-
ties. The downtown districts. where
the Offices will close shortly after noon,
will bear the brunt of the early can
nonading, and when the smoke Of bat
the rapid fire tag guns will be
fearful to behold. No quarter will be
given by the attacking hosts. but any
number of quarters will be accepted by
the attackers. Though quarters will
be plentiful. dimes probably will con-
stitute the greater part of the ransoms
to be exacted from captives.
Prizes for their athletic contests will
be contributed by the tag day commit
tee to the school children of the city
as a reward for their participation In
tag dav. These hosts of school chill
dren viii be the main reliance of Cen
eral Mrs. Hecht in the outlying dis
tricts.
Local dealers who have made offers
of automobiles for tag day will be held
TO their promises, as autos will be abb
solutely necessary for the lieutenant
generals If they are to communicate
quickly with their officers and circu-
late backward and forward between
their districts and the main headquar-
ters at the St. Francis hotel.

MURPHY TAKES UP
GRAND JURY'S time
Indicted Lawyers Counsel Asks
Questions Which Are
Not Answered
Judge Murasky May Take a
Hand and Force Stipula-
ton in Case

The tame performance of asking
members of the grand jury a series
or questions to which they were in
structed they could return no answer
dragged along for nearly two hours
yesterday afternoon in Judge Muras-
kys court. the ostensible matter un-
der consideration being the motion of
FRANK j. Murphy, one of Ruefs jury
nXers, to set aside the indictment re-
turned against him. When Attorney
Bert Schlesinger had finished his
string OF questions to the first grand
juror placed on the stand, P. f. Fer
guson, Assistant District Attorney
harrison offered to stipulate that the
same queries had been asked of all
the jurors and the same ruling made
that they Were immaterial and could
not be answered. SchIesinger, how
ever. preferred to tread the same
weary path over and over again, the
one desire Of his client being to con-
sumo time and stave off the inevitable
day of trial.
1t averaged nearly half an hour for
Schlesinger to ask his prepared series
OF questions of each witness, and only
Tour grand Jurors were examined yes
lerday-P. r. Ferguson, William J..
mclaughlin, c. H. Westpha1 and NJ. A.
Newell. Judge Murasky held uniform
ly that no inquiry could be pursued
INTO lhe secrets of the grand jury
room. The questions asked and dis
allowed had to do with whether or
not the proceedings on the 4th and
9TH of September. when the jury fixing
cases were first taken up by the grand
jury. did not operate to prejudice the
Jurors on September 16. the date upon
which Murphy and Newburgh were in
dicted.
Unless the Judge calls halt. or un-
less the attorneys agree upon stipu-
latton. the same series of unanswered
questions Will have to be asked all
over again of the same men in the case
of Newburgh.
An artificial jauntiness marked the
demeanor of the two accused lawyers
yesterday. Both Murphy and New
burgh talked much and laughed freely
while in the corridors OF the court in
the effort to hide their apprehensive-
ness.
