Alleged BOOtieeEer bound over.

AiieRed HOOtIeRRer Hound over.
John Booten, a former resident Of Coun-
ell Bluffs, who was arrested recently at
Henderson, Ia, by government officers
on a charge Of b~ootlegging, had a prelimin-
airy hearing yesterday afternoon before
United States Commissioner N. A. Craw-
ford, as a result Of which he was bound
over to await the action Of the federal
grand jury, which will meet here In Sep
TENDER His bond was placed at 500 which
he furnished.
Booten's defense was that he did not
retail any liquor, but that he had pur-
chased 1t from a firm in Council Bluffs for
a social club of which he was a member,
each member chipping in his share.
J. L. Fugato, II. W. Howard and James
Douglas, witnesses for the defendant, testi-
fled to having Clipped in for their share
of the liquor. COMMISSIONS Crawford said
that from their evidence the three wit
nesses had undoubtedly violated the law
and suggested to E. K. F~itzslmmons, the
deputy collector of internal revenue, that
he file charges against them. w. w.
Dunno, special guager from Peoria, Ill,
who is looking after the Booten case,
stated that he would probably file these
informations later. j. F. Reed, revenue
agent from Omaha, wal also present at the
hearing on behalf of the department.

MAYOR HITS AT REALTY MEN
DRhIman Declares Time Not Now
Ripe for Bill Consolidating
Omaha nd sOuth Omaha.

The democratic legislature is not so
gullible as some members Of the Real Es-
tate exchange seem to think and c. F..
Harrison is nightly mistaken If he thinks
that now is the time to butt In with a
bill to consolidate the cities Of Omaha and
South Omaha" said Mayor Dahlman, when
ne read in the papers Of the decision OF
the exchange to draft a bill to consolidate
and present it to the assembly. The theory
OF the exchange was TO get Mr., Bryan to
o.. X. the measure, his approval being con-
sidered as practical assurance of its pas
sage by the democratic legislature.
The mayor said that the democratic leg
islative candidates made promises during
the campaign that no annexing program
would be attempted in the present session
if they were elected, '"and they will keep
their word" The executive is Of the opin-
ion that the best way to go about CONSOLE
dation business is to put the proposition
in a platform and let the people vote
whether they want the legislature to make
Omaha and South Omaha into one large
city.

Bold, had Man Acts MysteriOusiy Mt
Chief Donakue's Home and Neigh
borS Go to Rescue.

This is the story OF the capture of the
bold, bad man by William Gaskill and Sam
Dresher. 49,.
Gaskill sells cigars for Myers-Dillon and
.Dresher sells clothes. Gaskill has recently
been married and Tuesday night about 30
his wife happened to look out Of the win
dow of their residence at 1908 Burt street
and saw a man peeping in the window of
the residence of J. j. Donahue, chief of po-
lice, who lives just around the corner at
Sl2 North Seventeenth street. Mrs. Gaskill
called her husband to see him and William
stepped to the telephone to tell the chief.
Mr.. Donahue was not at home, but Mrs.
Donahue was all alone and was at once
considerably excited. She asked Mr.. Gas
kill to come over to the house until the
police could be called.
Gaskill called up his friend. Sam Dresher,
and also Wilbur Smith and they went to
the residence Of the CHIEF.
From behind the drawn curtain the watch
ers could see the bad man going from win
dow TO window and trying to look in.
why don't YOU men go out and try to
scare him away" asked Mrs. Donahue,
who feared he might have a bomb or some
thing Of the sort.
II isn't my burglar said Gaskill as
he took another peek at the outside.
Mrs. Donahuer had telephoned to the po-
lice station as soon as she had heard that
the burglar was on the outside and soon
hurried footsteps we're heard as a squad
OF police approached.
That was the cue for Gaskil and Dresher
and Smith and they charged forth. The
man, too, had heard the laundering ap-
proach of the squad OF police and was at
once on the run.
The police and Gaskill and Smith and
Dresher followed him to Twentieth and
Cunning streets, where he was captured and
sent to the station.
Captain Dunn says he knows the poor
fellow was more scared than was Mrs.
Donahue, but he cannot vouch for Gasklll
and Dresher. The man said he was a por-
ter in a saloon at Nineteenth and Cunning
streets and he was discharged by Judge
crawford,

A program OF the" music of Robert Schu"
MANI! Schumann, who treated the fields of
composition as though they were gardens
filled with fragrance and with the beauteous
blossoming of many flowers, through which
birds of song and birds Of paradise sang

pictures of Pierrot and Arlequin, Plantation
and Columbine, and make them true to life.
Schumann, who could reproduce the sun
shine with his visions Of butterflies, or give
us back the memory Of a cloudy moonlit
night in the tender tones OF a dream-woven
nocturne.
Schumann listened and smiled, for he
was man and woman and child all three"
and then he wrote what he heard, and gave
to the world Gods own harmony"
To enter into the details of the program
is unnecessary for nothing new can be

,H. = tFRoM THE NEW YORK WORLD, JUNE 10, OI
DRUGGIST SAYS COOPER
WOKE UP RECENTLY
WesternerC Claims Everybody WillHaveTo Take
His Medicine Eventually.

New York has never before witnessed
such a spectacle as may be seen every day
1t Broadway and Ninth street. It is here
that l. T, Cooper, the Western stomach
olosist, who claims that stomach trouble
is at the bottom OF all chronic i'll health,
rs meeting the public.
1t would be difficult to estimate Just
how many people call to talk with Cooper
during a single day. The store where he
Is holding forth seems to have become the
Meccn for aillng people in New York, and
the amount of medicine he is disposing
is In addition to what he
sells himself, druggists generally through
out New York are handing his prepare
lions out in unlimited quantities.
A leading druggist said recently: 1.-The
public seem to nave lost its mind over
this man Cooper. Personally, 1 don't
know anything about his medicine. We
had nothing to do with his coming to
New York and he has until recently sold
his preparation entirely through one com
pany. l suppose he thought New York
was like one of his Western towns and
everybody could be supplied from a corner
drug store. He woke up about a week
ago and put it on sale everywhere. Since
then we have been selling II. L don't
know how long this demand will last, but
| have never before seen anything like
it"
In an interview Monday afternoon
Cooper said: "I am not making any wild
claims for my medicine. All II does is to
stimulate the gastric juices and regulate
the digestive organs, but people do not
realize how splendid their health would
be If only their stomachs we're not Ian
guide and enfeebled by years OF abuse.

her of Advisory Board Created
by President.

WASHINGTON, Jan. A.-President Roose-
welt today created a council of fine arts
and directed that hereafter the heads of
legislative departments, bureaus and com
missions before any plans are formulated
for public buildings or grounds or for the
location or erection of any statue must sub
nit the matter to the council and follow
their advice unless for good and sufficient
reasons the president directs otherwise.
This action is in accordance with the
presidents announcement a few days ago
and is the outcome of suggestions made to
him by the American Institute of Archi-
tects.
The council is made up as follows:
Architects: Cass Gilbert, c. Grant La
Fargo, Walter Cook, William A. Boring,
S. b. p. Trowbridge, John G. Howard,

Among New Workers who have recently
become enthusiasts on the subject Of
lCooper's medicine is George ]. Scott, Of
No. 274 West Nineteenth street. who said
Monday afternoon: 1T Is hard to realize
that any medicine will do all that is
claimed for 1t.
Il have taken all kinds OF medicine for
ten years and this is the first !, have ever
found that was worth two cents 1 have
had rheumatism constantly. for, ten years
and have spent a quarter of what l made
for doctors and medicine. 7 might have
taken so much rain water for all the good
they did me. Before / had taken this
Cooper's New Discovery a week, I realized
II was worth something. 1 have taken IT
a month and ! am as well as l ever was
in my life. l have no rheumatism and
eat like a horse. l feel like doing some
thing now, where a month ago / hated to
walk a block. When | first bought II I
thought 1t was another fake, but now /

taken was worth nothing; this is worth

LIBEL SUIT TO STATE COURT

LOOT AND KNOX TO TESTIFY
fen who Conducted Negotiations for
Purchase of Canal 20 Appear
In Inquiry at wash
inEton.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2l.-Speculation as to
what action District Attorney Jerome had
lecided to take in connection with the libel
proceedings Instituted by the federal au-
thorities sgainst the New York World was
In no way lessened today by the admission
by that official that he had decided to pre-
sent the matter to a special grand jury.
Mr.. Jerome conferred with Supreme Court
Justice Bowling. at whose order the special
grand jury was empanelled, but neither
would throw any light upon action contem-
plated. The most persistent rumor was that
the presence before the special grand jury
Of Charles p. Taft was desired by Mr..
jerome and that as soon as his testimony
is heard startling developments might be
expected.
Among lawyers whe have given p%articu-
lar attention to United States law there is
a growing belief that prosecution Of the
individuals responsible for the publication
OF the alleged llbellous matter is to be
based upon an ancient section Of the federal
statutes which empowers the federal au-
t~horities to proceed in criminal prosecutions
under state laws where the alleged overt
act has been committed on land ceded to
the United States, for use for a federal
reservation. In this instance it Is under
stood the overt. act charged will be the
mailing of copies OF the World containing
the alleged libel to a government reserva-
ton. such as Governors Island or West
Point. The summoning Of two of the
Worlds mailing room clerks before the fed
eral grand jury yesterday would seem to
lend color to this view of the situation.
Law hat May he Invoked.
The section which 1t is believed will be
invoked Is section 5391 OF the United States
revised statutes revised March 3, 1926. VIII
