lecture that is heralded throughout
the civilized world, we are at least be-
ginning to dream of the possibilities
of its enrichment by sculpture. That
this is not wholly a dream of the fu-
ture is evidenced by the recent COM
pletion of one of the important COM
missions to be executed in Southern
California, the sculptures by Alexander
Stirling Calder, destined for the deco
ration of the administration building
of the new Throop institute at Pasa-
dena.
To this monumental work the sculp-
tor has brought an imagination so pro-
found as to add new meaning to the
subjects chosen for his scholarly por-
trayal. Nature and Art, Energy and
Science, Imagination and Law are
the great forces to be represented in
plastic form above the great archways
of the building devoted to their ad-
vancement. These colossal groups are
most original in conception, with a
symbolism that is clear without being
too obvious. and show technique that
Is both broad and virile.
The right spandrel of the tito shows
winged figure, Imagination, the Wis
ionary, the aspirer; fianking this is the
helmeted figure of Law, In contrast to
the dreamer, alert and cognizant of all,
one hand holding the tablets of stone,
the other nrted up TO warn or to ad
jure. In the left spandrel is Nature,
represented by the joyous god Pan:
Opposite is Art, the creative force, de-
picted as poet writing in his book
of life, with the head of the sphinx
before him. The central group. and
the last to be executed, shows Energy,
the vanquisher, progressing always
onward and upward, despite the heavy
burden he bears, the powerfully mod
eled figure tense with vigorous action,
in contrast to the opposite figure in re-
pose, representing Science, the ques-
tioner, lighting his torch at the sun
which forms the central cartouche.
The four pilasters of the archway
have as their motives the sun
flower, corresponding to nature, a ter
minal of Minerva standing for the arts,
and Mercury presiding over science,
while the fourth is the standard of
justice.
The corbels beneath each of these
bear a close relation to the pilasters
they support. Under the standard of
the law Is an open book held in the
hand; under Mercury is a star and
crescent. and below Minerva a mask;
beneath the standard of nature is a
stag's head, all having their especial
significance, and executed with an ad-
mirable technique.

He replied: THE boys found the hat

down the line, al they found a big gun

He followed his usual custom Thursday

Omaha Detective Attaches Importance
- to Finding Glove.
Chief Of Detectives Savage Of Omaha
thinks there probably is a woman in the
case and offers q woman's black glove
found at the door of the suspects room at
the Seibert. house to support the theory.
The glove was found early Wednesday
morning by Mrs. Seibert, before the men
were awake. 1t lay as near the threshold
Of their door as possible when the door
was closed. Inquiry developed that 1t De-
longed to no one living at the house and
nobody could give any suggestion as to
whom II belonged, unless Torgensen and
his roommate had been visited by a
woman accomplish. The police incline
strongly to that belief and are trying to
dig up further evidence of a woman's con-
nection with the case.
They looked green as grass" said Mrs.
Jerome Seibert Friday when told that her
former boarders were suspected OF being
the Overland Limited robbers. II never

Swede supposedly Torgensen); he scenes
so simple"
Turgensen is said by the police to be a
shrewd and clever man and could easily
have deceived Mrs. Seibert as TO himself
There were evidences in the fireplace OF
the Seibert room occupied by the suspected
men that they had burned some letters re-

direction. This course was followed until
the police became thoroughly angry. He
was taken TO South Omaha again at 4
a. m. Friday. Again he was taken back
to Omaha.

Briggs and Captain Mostyn. you've been

Nevertheless Gordon kept It up. 70 the

to take the hint, secure the booty and get

Says He Knows Nothing of Robbery
or Companions.
Il don't know anything about the Union
Pacific hold-up. except what I've read in
the papers," said James Gordon. one OF
the men under arrest in connection with
the case. He was confined at the omaha
police station till IL o'clock Friday morn
ing. after being brought to this city by
The South Omaha officers.
II am % years OF sge, a shingler and car
penter by trade, and have no family Or
relatives. I came to Omaha from Denver
two days ago and got a room. but I SAM

crooked dealings with them or come here
to meet them. 1 really have no home, as I
have lived all over the west, staying a
little while at each town. / have no idea
how this business is going to turn out"
Although he'said he had been living in an
lodging house for two days and
had known where it was located, Gordon
failed to recall it's whereabouts when ac-
companied by detectives both Thursday
night and Friday morning. 1t is declared
by the police that his whole story is false.
They think he is 'stalling," so his partner,
the fourth OF the men seen near the Brown
Park school in South Omaha, may escape
from Omaha, and take with him whatever
there may be in their rooms thai would
incriminate them.
Stylishly dressed. good looking, and a
smooth appearing young man, Gordon
would be the last man in the city to be
taken for a carpenter. He looks as II he
had done no hard labor for a long time.

PROMPT TRIAL OF BANDITS
District Court Has Prior J~urisdiction
and VIII Maintain II.

and VIII Maintain II.
TIL train robbers may have a compare
lively quick trial, for there is sentiment
among the judges of the district court
that their trial should be speedy. 1t is
possible that it will take place as early
as July. June Is out of the question, other
important criminal cases having the right
of way.
The bandits can be prosecuted in either
state or federal court or in both jurisdic-
lions. The state has the first claim, how
ever, because 1t was by officers of the
state that they were arrested. The federal
court cannot take the men until the county
is willing to surrender them.
Robbing a mail car is of course a crime
against the United States with life i'm
prisonment as penalty. Life can also be
imposed in the district court, a special
statute covering the offense.
II have not had time to consider what
evidence there is yet" said County Attor-
ney English last evening. and more is of
course likely to come. There is no dis
position on our part to turn the men over
to federal authorities for prosecution until
we are through with them"

WHEN MEN RENTED THE ROOMS
Took IL May IT and said They Lived

in Another City.
According TO the story told by Mrs,
Seibert, the landlady, Friday morning, two
men who had been staying at her rooming
house, Torgensen and Woods, went there
on Monday, May II. a number Of days be-
fore the holdup occurred. They said they
came from another city and had come here
looking for work.
They hired a front downstairs room for
a week., paying So in advance. Going and
coming when they liked, arising at the
usual hour every morning and being or
derby and apparently respectable, It was
not supposed by the landlady or her other
roomers that the strange guests might be
daring and desperate men.
1t is now recalled that the two men were
out especially late on the night OF the
holdup. although persons In the house ad-
init that they knew nothing definite about
the men.
Sunday the man who gives his name as
Woods disappeared from the Seibert house
and was not seen there after that time.
His partner gave out the Information that
he had gone to Seattle. The man arrested
and known as Woods was identified by
the Seiberts Thursday night and his be-
longings, including some clothes and a fine
alligator grip, were found in the room at
s4 North Fifteenth street.
On Monday Torgensen said he would like
to rent the room for a few more days, but
that as he had no roommate, he thought
he could not afford to pay the IS in ad-
vance, However, two, or three days later
Mrs. Grothe says she saw Torgensen count
ing a large roll of greenbacks as he was
sitting on the bed and she was washing
windows. Yet he had done no work and
could not explain how he got the money.

Men Comrades.
A strong point against the men lies in
the fact that after Gordon and Torgensen
had disclaimed any knowledge OF Woods
or his being a comrade of theirs, the photo
graph Of them, with Woods and the fourth
man, was discovered in the grip Identified
as belonging to Woods. This photograph
is on a postal card and the four are seated
in an automobile with a young woman on
the front seat. The young woman has not
been Identified as yet and Il is not sup
posed she is in Omaha. The picture was
taken in a Denver studio and as such
shows the men were comrades for some
considerable time.
Gordon gave the police a merry chase
for a time. He said he could not find his
lodging house, although he had been in
Omaha several days. He started out in
a dozen different directions and after
going several blocks. invariably stopped
and said he could not locate the room.
