Mrs. Stewart Ford

Delay.

CINCINNATI o., Dec. H.-When the
case Of Mrs. Jeanette Stewart-Ford was
called before Judge Woodmansee today the
woman was not in court. Her attorney
William Thorndyke, explained that she had
fallen on the ice yesterday and so injured
herself that she cobld not be present.
A question has been raised as to
whether the charge of blackmail made
against Mrs. Ford in the Indictment
really constituted a crime under the stat
utes. 1t has been generally understood
that the indictment charges that Mrs. Ford
threatened Warmer with exposure of his
shortage II he did not pay her money,
when, as a matter of fact, the indictment
charged that she threatened to reveal the
fact that Warriner shielded a former en-
ploye of the Big -Four, whom Warmer had
ascertained to be short some $22,OO0 accord
ing to his claim.
1t is as to whether or not such action
would constitute blackmail that may be
the subject OF an attack. Warmer will
be the chief witness here His departure
for Columbus to serve the sentence Of six
years imposed upon him has been deferred
untn he has testified in the Ford case.

CONGRESS- OF CACKLERS OPEN
Large and Noisy Congregation of
RoOsters and Egg-Layers.
BIRDS OF BEAUTY AND OF BREED
Dogs of All Strains and of Extensive
Pedigrees are on Exhibition Rival
ing Barnyard Beauties in
Making n Row.

The mighty cackle congress is on. The
annual show Of the Transmississippi Poul-
try association opened last night in the
Auditorium with large representation of
the birds that cackle, crow, scratch and
pick on proud display before an admiring
attendance of visitors.
The fluffy egg-builders are holding forth
in the noisiest of agtherings. There is a
factional row in Cchickentown and the
debate lasts through all the waking hours
obstreperous bantams, lassitudinous, beefy
Langshans numbering Shanghais-they are
all kept from strife only by the partitions
Of the exhibit cages. Challenges ring back
end( forth across the big hall and the at
mOsphere is one of tenseness.
1t is just as well, too, for the visitors to
be bit careful when strolling down the
lanes OF chicken coops. These hostile
coekerels have a habit of venting their
spleen with vicious pecks at the first bare
hand that strays within reach of the
barred fronts Of the cages.
The proudest most cantankerous bit of
ieathered aggressiveness is Omaha" a
Red Pyle game bantam belonging to H, d.
Foster. Mr. Foster won the first prize
the show last year on this vain bird and
ne little rascal is growing already with
mis- aspirations for more medals and rib
bons.
The judging of the birds will begin today
and the prize giving will continue through
the show, which closes on Saturday night
All the birds are not yet in, although the
show is quite complete.
There are several blocks of chickens and
other fowls to be seen, but the show does
not end there. The show inclsdes water
fowl, tsrkeys, pheasant and pigeons. Then
there is the show of the Nebraska Kennel
club which opens today at noon.

The building will be very expensive and

"The people Of Omaha have for some
years past been exceedingly considerate Of
the Union Pacific in helping It develop It's
terminal properties, and this is one of
the ways in which the company is glad
to be able to reciprocate-by putting up a
credtable and permanent structure. The
thought occurs to me. that as this state

feotive In building up communities and

The city ticket office will be placed on
the lower floor. No room is set aside
for store rooms, as the entire building is
to be used as headquarters for the Union
Pacific
The building win be 97x1T7 feet and will
be located on ground bought by the Union
Pacific over two years ago and held since
that time especially for the building,
AT present the offices OF the Union Pa
