A GOOD SIGN.

One of the best signs political reform is the growing de-
mand for broadminded legislation looking the benefit OF
the entire state Usually awmaker goes to Sacramento
with the thought uppermost his mind that he must do all
he for the benefit of the particular district he represents
His representative will be gauged by the amount
of money he get from the treasury to be spent
within the boundary lines of his district 1t matters little
whether there just demand for this money expenditure
If he fails get the appropriations camored for he
is voted poor awmaker, matter how ably he may
tend for the interests of the large 1t owing mainly
this false idea of the efficiency of state senator or as
sembyman that expenses have piled up feauly OF
late years. When it right down to local affairs the
taxpayers camor for economy because that saving
in dollars and them But when dipping
into the treasury that entirely different question:
and extravaganza i'll the shape of reckless expenditures is
directed toward their locality the beneicare it is all right
and the legislator who succeeds in getting the biggest aPPro
prations is hailed the right for the place. People
seldom stop consider the demorazing tendency of this
selfish spirit Every legislator becomes imbued with the
idea of serving his district first and leaving the state at large
to look for itself For institutions within the con-
fines Of his district he asks for appropriations far larger than
he expects get knowing that the governor in the exercise
the power for the protection of the state large, will
prune down the appropriations much possible Under
such conditions next impossible to have other than
traVagance in state affairs,

BOYLES IN PRISON CARB
Whitla Kidnspers Are Hustled at

FoRKER STORY IS DIsCREDITED
Indications Statement of Boyle Inn
~pIicatinE Boys Uncfe in Abduc-
tion VIII BE Dropped, as
Clearly Untrue.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May I1.-After the ex-
citing and wearing incidents Of yester-
day, Mrs. James Boyle had a good nights
rest in the Western penitentiary last night
and awoke- today much refreshed. She is
in good spirits and has regained much Of
her old-time vivacity. Her arrival at the
penitentiary last night was after the hour
for retiring and she was given only a
night dress, while all her other clothing
and ornaments were taken from her. She
awoke this morning to find only the prison
garb IN her cell.
Marching in line with the other prisoners,
Mrs. Boyle smiled as she went to her first
prison breakfast and ate heartily. She was
given permission by the matron to make
cushions and other fancy work for cell and
materials were promised her If she
cared to do so. 1t will be determined today
after a physical examination what charac-
ter Of work she will he given. Probably
she will be placed either in the kitchen or
in the sewing room.
Boyle slept well last night also. He ate
heartily for breakfast and submitted grace
fully to the barber, who cropped his hair
closely. Bertillion photographs and meas
urements Of the pair will be made today.
From all reports that have been received
here it is not believed any action will be
taken following the statement of Boyle
last night. The Mercer county officials
discredit the statement and the whole mat
ter probably will be allowed to drop and
be forgotten.

CHANGES At FIELD CLUB
Many Betterments Are Made for Sea.
son of 1909.
COURSE IS NOW MORE DIFFICULT
Nine New Put In VIII Rem
der Battle with DOGGY StilI More
Uneven for Some Golfers
to Negotiate.

When the members of the Omaha Field
club visit hat popular outdoor club for
the first time at the opening Saturday,
they will see many changes and all for the
better. The general outside appearance of
the grounds around the club house Is
changed almost beyond recognition ID
The first noticeable change is that the
unsightly carriage and automobile stalls
have been removed and where once stood
that ungainly structure is now grass and
flower beds. The caddy house has been
moved into the north tract, nearer the tee
of the first hole and is connected with the
club house by a telephone. This will keep
the crowd Of caddies away from the club
house and will make much more room.
Instead Of the crowded dancing pavilion
the members will find a pavilion greatly
enlarged. in fact nearly double in size.
This has been accomplished by lengthening
the pavilion, and building a stand for the
orchestra in the middle of the north side
OF the pavilion. The kitchen and dining
room space has been doubled by the
changes.
While the putting and fairgreens are
verdant they are showing a want of rain,
and watson, the golf expert, has a large
force of men repairing the water pipes all
over the grounds, the pipes having bursted
at the Joints because of freezing. New
flower beds and gravel walks have been
laid out and a place provided for automo-
blles under the dancing pavilion.
The golf course has been improved and
made a little more difficult by the addition
of nine new bunkers. Five of these bunk
ers are placed around the fifteenth hole
and In front of No. 5 are three bunkers,
with one at the side of No. 6.
Hole No. 10 is known as the 'dog-leg'
hole, and is what IS known as ''enechelon."
Three bunkers are placed in series. The
player with the short drive may cross the
first bunker at lC5 yards, but he will not
be in a direct line for the hole. A second
bunker is at l25 yards. a little nearer in
a straight line. and for the man with the
long drive the third bunker is placed at
15 yards In a direct line between the tee
and green. thus giving the long driver the
advantage.
All the bunkers have been changed from
the old straight up and down bunker TO a
bunker sodded at an. angle of IS degrees.
The long bunker along the side of the
course to No. Is has been sodded.

SCARLET FEVER Is NOT
EPIDEMIC, SAYS PHYSICIAN
RumOr of ScOurge Denied by Health
Commissioner and other
Doctors.

Rumors Of a scarlet fever epidemic in
Omaha are entirely ~unfounded. according
TO Health COMMISSIONS r. w. Connell
and other physicians.
Park school was dismissed Monday noon
to allow health s~officeTs to fumigate the
building as a precautionary measure.
Special care is being exercised by parents
and teachers to prevent the spread of the
disease.
Claude Arness. 10 years of ages died Of
scarlet fever Monday at his home, 2Sl3
Woolworth avenue. The case was a severe
one, according to the attending physician,
who mas another case of the disease in the
same neighborhood. Because of the lads
death. the Park school authorities took the
precautionary steps.
Another death, possibly not due directly
to the fever, but following a recovery
from It and supposedly due to the health
and condition of the child after having a
severe attack, was that of Charles n. John
son, Z years of age, who lived at 1928 North
Twenty-sixth street. His death occurred
Monday and the funeral is to take place
Wednesday afternoon. There are three
other children sick with scarlet fever in
the Johnson home.

Tornado Victim
Takes Her Life
Mrs. McKernahan of Bellevue Sets
Fire to Clothing and House, Her
Injuries Proving Fatal.

Mrs: Margaret McKernahan of Bellevue,
who was a tornado victim just a year ago
and was mentally deranged by her physical
injuries and the loss of her home, at
tempted suicide Monday by setting fire
to her clothes. She died Of her burns
Tuesday morning after suffering agony for
hours.
First Mrs. McKernahan's home was
wrecked by the terrific clycone that struck
the college and town of Bellevue on May
II of last year. While running from the
flying debris she was then struck in the
head and was at first reported dead. Al
though she survived, her reason was greatly
impaired by the trouble and she had
been closely cared for since that time by
her children. a son of % years and a
daughter of 16.
Recently Mrs. McKernahan had been
living with her daughter, the son being
away from home. While the daughter
was out of the house Monday afternoon
Mrs. McKernahan went out into the road
and set her clothing ablaze. Before she
could be reached and saved she was fright
fully burned and the efforts of DIR. Belts
were unavailing to prevent her death.

MORE BALLOON EXPERIMENTS
Destruction Of Gas Bag at Jackson
Far from Discouraging.
HAPPENED ONCE IN ITALY
CoioneI Giassford says Explosion Was
Unusual, and other Balloons Are
Coming TO Continue Work

The destruction Of the United States sig
nal service balloon No. IL, at Jackson, Mon
day evening, after the successful flight Of

will OCCASION only a temporary suspension
in the balloon experiment work at Fort
Omaha. Another balloon is now enroute
from. Fort Myer. Va. for Fort Omaha,
and the balloon experiments will be re-
suHed at an early date.
The accident to the Chandler and Ware
balloon Monday evening, is the first OF. Its
kind happening IN the United States. and
could only happen when the balloon Is
near the earth. The fall Of the ~aeronauts
was for only a very short distance, and
none of the delicate instruments were in
tured. g..
AN accident OF a similar character hap
pened in Italy a few years ago. said Col
onel Glassford, commandant at Fort Om-
aha, with much more disastrous results,
but with no fatalities. as l remember.
While such an accident is unusual. II is
likely to occur under like circumstances as
PREVAILED with the Fort Omaha balloon.
The ascension of Captain Chandler and
Lieutenant Ware was a complete success,
and the destruction Of the balloon was
, simply, an uupreveutable incident"
While the hydrogen gas generating
plant at Fort Omaha is in excellent work
Ing order, the big gas tank is not working
satisfactorily and has not yet been &C
cepted from the manufacturers. TIL gas
with which balloon No. ~, was inflated
Monday, was forced into the balloon di-
rectly from the gas generators in the by
drogen plant room. 1t requires from
tweniy-four to thirty hours to initiate as

Omaha. They all pronounced it a marvel
of beauty and construction and Mr.. Nc

have already sent the first material car
all the way through, but it will be some
time before we are ready for passenger

Lost Prince is
Found in Ohio
Arohduke Johann Salvador of Austria,
Who Disappeared Nineteen Years
Ago, Common LabOrer.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Journal today
devotes its entire front page to the elab-
grafton Of an unequivocal statement that
1t has discovered the lost John Orth, -
otherwise Archduke Johann Salvador of
Austria. prince of the house of Hapsburg.
who disappeared nineteen years ago after
marrying Ludmilli Stubel. an opera singer.
Briefly sketched, the Journal story says:
John Ortiz was discovered at Peines-
Vile, o., working as a machinist at SIS per
week. Previously he had followed this oc-
cupation at Grand Rapids, Mich, and
Cleveland, o. His reason for making his
Identity known at this time. the Journal
states. was due to his advancing age and
his desire that he might be buried in
Austria.
Johann Salvador, asc the alleged archduke
has always been known since he left the
court at Vienna, was married in London
and he and his wife afterwards sailed for
South America In the Santa Marguerita. a
schooner which he had chartered. 1t has
Away been believed that the arcRduke
lost his life when the schooner sank off
the coast Of Chill. According to the story
of the gainesville machinist, he and his
beautiful wife were not aboard the ship.
They went ashore at Cusavana, a small
port on the Rio De La Plata. II was
planned that they should meet the ship at
Valparaiso, but the craft sank enroute.
The romantic couple drifted all over the
world, finally taking up a plantation on
the island of Martinique. In the Mount
Pelee catastrophe his wife and their two
children were killed. Salvador, according
to the journal story, was rescued and came
to the United States.
