New York and Chicago. as well as by SER
vices in Omaha. In addition other com

events sent out scores of photographs and
cuts and the special photographers sup
piled weeklies and monthly magazines.
When Mr.. Roosevelt was admitted with
all the trimmings, the news was flashed
by wire across the country, radiating from
all the large centers. The staff of special
correspondents accompanying the ex-presi-
dent sent their stories to papers and news
services and from northern Maine to San
Diego the public was told of Nebraska
and what it was able to show Theodore
Roosevelt.
With the holding of the annual festival,
the process has been, to a large extent,
repeated, for Ak-SarBen has grown to
something that cannot be ignored.
The country wants to know what is doing
here, and those whose business it is to

WHERE THE TROUBLE BEGAN.
Nebraska has done already with Ak-sar-
Ben.
Ak-Sar-Ben is most frequently compared
with the Mardt Gras. There is a basic diff
ference between the two institutions, how
ever which throws the balance strongly
in favor Of the Omaha celebration. The diff
ference is this: The New Orleans festivi-
ties are fundamentally based on old world
customs; Ak-Sar-Ben sprang from Ameri-
can soil and the roots go down deep into
the nature Of type more American than
that to be found in the land developed by
the Creoes.
1t is the foreign flavor of the Mard
Gras that attracts; 1t Is the American tang
I'm Nebraskas fete that will eventually
prove its greatest asset, when little time
has further spread its name.
Insofar as the Louisianans revel on the
old church holiday and HOLIDAY, they cast
off for the moment their Americanism; it is
to France that one must look for the like,
unless one would turn to the other Latins
in Europe and America.
The tempermental difference between the
Latin and the Anglo-Saxon, using the lat
ter term loosely to embrace Americans,
have long been regarded as a barrier

the delightful weekly sessions fully as
Il would describe the annual festival
And IL gave, moreover, an Incompatible
opportunity to Judge the benefit Ak-Sar- Ben
has done the state. AS the exchanges near
ing the-date, September 2. arrived, the gem
eral interest in Nebraska's own peculiar
combination of push and jolllty became ap-
parent
Small papers, big papers, middle-sized
papers; yellow papers and sheets that
boast on their conservatism; papers north,
east, south and west-all had stories on
the Ak-Sar-Ben and the ex-president
There were advance stories, predicting
Mr.. Roosevelts fate; there were stories
telling, as the day passed, what happened
to him-as far as could be told without
violating the sacred oath that alone gains
admission to the den; and there were what
are technically termed "follow-up" stories,
describing the aftermath.
And every story brought the name and
fame of the state before the public in a
manner which could be accomplished with
no other institution to work with.
1t would be a task almost impossible to
Judge accurately the cost OF such adver-

the regular rates. Certain 1t is, however,
that the bills, when the last business
office had been heard from, would not
have been less than $4,000.
II is no stretch of fact or imagination
therefore, TO say that a single entertain
ment at the den meant an actual gift of
$4,000 to the state from the Ak-sar- Ben.
Not bad for a nights entertainment-and
1t is always entertainment for a Nebraskan
to tell of the strength of his state.
This vast advertisement put the re-
sources Of the American press-the most
hishly-developed resources OF their kind
in the world-to a task beyond the
routine
The Importance of the Ak-Sar- Ben
forced hundreds of trained newspapermen
to turn their attention to Nebraska and all
that is hers. All of these men-reporters,
correspondents editors of all varieties
were reached as they could be reached in
no other way merely in their days work.

But your Anglo-Saxon, on both
sides of the Atlantic, Is rapidly see

he found IL a myth long ago, when
the lonely life of the colonial forced
him to gymkhanas and entertainment
verging on pageantry. The latest de-
light of the Englishman and the
American for spectacle and fun,
shared in by all. is coming to the
surface.
On this alone one could prophesy
with safety a future for the Ak-Sar-
Ben surprising the brilliant past.
The entire trend is now swinging
around so as to force Nebraska's fete
into unprecedented Importance.
Within the last few years the
pageant has advanced to a state I'M
dreamed of even when Ak-Sar- Ben
was well on In it's history.
Some of the most important towns
of England have turned to this form
of entertainment, outrivaling Lon

DIRECTORS OF oTTuMWA BOX
CAR LOADER ARE HOLDING
MEETING THIS AFTERNOON
LOSS WILL BE OVER $4,000.

Preparatory to building new plant
of steel construction the debris from
the plant of the Ottumwa Box Car
Loader company, which was destroyed
by fire yesterday is being removed.
The directors of the company are
holding meeting at the office of the
plant on West Second street this after
noon, at which the matter of building
the new plant will be taken up. Henry
Phillips. the heaviest stockhOlderi OF
the company, in an interview this af-
ternoon, stated that there was doubt
that the plant will be erected on the
same location and that the new struc-
ture will be of steel construction and
fireproof, making a repetition Of yes
terday's conflagration impossible.
The $50 men employed at the plant
who were thrown out OF work yester-
day by the disastrous fire have found
employment in removing the debris,
which win take some time. Part of the
ruins is still smouldering, but work OF
clearing away the debris will be rush
ed as rapidly as possible.
Mr. Phillips this afternoon esti-
mated the loss of the fire at a lower
figure than yesterday. It will reach
over 100000. The insurance on the
buildings and machinery will cover
about half he loss. The business Of.
flee while partially damaged was used
today by the directors in holding a
meeting The exact loss cannot as yet
be determined. The company has made
an examination of their electric ma
chinery and have found that it is prac-
tically wrecked. The big generator
cannot be put in service again. Be-
cause much Of the machinery is under
the timbers and debris it cannot be de-
termined how badly the machinery on
the ground floor is damaged.

.PINCHOT DRAWS
CARTER'S FIRE
MONTANA SENATOR REPLIES 70
CRITICISMS AS TO APPRo-
PRIATIoNs.

s Helena, Mont, Aug. 81 United
States Senator Thomas r. Carter, re.
plying to a recent interview OF Gihord
Pinchot, has given out this statement:
Clifford Pinchot, late chief forester,
has rushed into print to shift response
bility for the distressing forest fires
that have devastated SO much Of the
western country.
"He says that Hepburn, Mondell and
Carter are responsible because they
opposed appropriations for forest pro-
lection. The fact is that the gentle.
men named opposed the misapplica'
tion Of the funds appropriated for for-
est protection. Reductions to appro
priations were never urged except to
moneys being applied by. Mr.. Pinchot
to purposes apart from forest protec-
tion.
"The record of the Office over which
Mr.. Pinchot presided will show that OF
the congressional appropriations since
1896 only $1,795,000 was used for I'M
proyementr Of the national forests.
whereas extraordinary sum OF
s19.923,0Ou las used for general pur'
poses.
1T will be perceived that about 80
per cent of all the money appropriated
was used for general expenses, includ
ing the payment OF lectures, the pay
ment of editorial writer's and report
ers. the maintenance Of bureau OF
publicity and the general exploitation
of Mr.. Pinchot and his absurd cam.

JOSEPHCHOATE
IS ACCUSED OF
LEGAL FRAUDS
EFFORT MADE 70 DUST FORMER
AMBASSADOR TO GREAT 1Rl-
TlAN FROM BAR ASSOCIATION
AT CONVENTION.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 31.-
Charges that Joseph H. Choate Of New
York, former ambassador of the
United States to Great Britain has
been guilty of violation of the consti-
tuition of the American Bar associa-
tion in the failure to uphold the honor
of the profession Of the law, and a Pc
tition that he be expelled were pre-
sented to the American Bar associa'
tion today and referred to the commit
tee on grievances. The charges grew
out of q coal contract alleged to be
valued at 100000 between E. Watts,
for whom Choate was attorney. and
two men named Weston. The business
was with the Primrose colliery OF
Pennsylvania.
Choate's firm, it is alleged, was en-
gagged by Watts to sue for $35O,OOO
damages, because Of breach OF con
tract. The petitioner alleges that IN
Choate's office he accidentally over.
heard an attorney representing the
Westons offer Treadwell Cleveland
$50 900 to compromise the suit. and
that the suit resulted in only six cents
damages being awarded, and for that
reason the petitioner believes the suit
was sold or thrown away
Several other charges are made IN
the petition.
Committee Reports Heard.
The American Bar association today
heard the report of the committee on
uniform state laws. The committee
recommends uniformity of laws on the
transfer Of stock in corporations and
on bills of lading. Last night the as
sociation listened to reports of the
committees on international law and
commercial law.
