tive from the Fifth Nebraska district,

him famous from Maine TO California,
has worked his way, despite many

hence. He was born on farm in
Sandusky, Ohio, in 1861 His father
died when he was babe. his only

Four years later he was reelected to
the same position, which he held when

MABRAY is CONVICTED.
Jurors in Council Bluffs Trial Find
Alleged Swindler and Aids Guilty.

John c. Mabray and thirteen of his
associates, who for ten days have been
on trial in the United States District
Court in Council Bluffs, charged with
illegal use of the mails in connection
with an extensive fixed" race swim
die, were found guilty liz verdict by
the jury which heard the case. Rob-
ert E. l.. Goddard of San Antonio, the
fifteenth defendant, secured a disa-
greement.
Those convicted with Mabray were
Leon Loser, Tom S. Robinson. Willard
Powell, Clarence Glass, Edward Leach,
Edward K Morris, Clarence Forbes,
Harry Forbes, Frank Scott, Ed Nc
Coy, Winford s. Harris. Bert r. Shores
and William ('Ole") Marsh. The
last-named three entered a plea of
nolle contendre when the trial opened,
which was, in effect, plea of guilty.
With the conviction of Mabray and
his associates. the government believes
ii has broken up the most smonumen-
tai swindling combination which ever
has operated. Statistics have been
gathered which show the receipts of
the combination since its organization
about ten years ago to have exceeded

BLACKHAND ON OIL KINGS LAND
Workmen Terrorized After Rescue
of Kidnapped Pocantico Boy.

New York detectives are aiding the
West Chester County authorities in
trying TO run down a band OF black
handlers who have terrorized the work
men on the John ID. Rockefeller estate
at Pocantico hills, New York, and
whose latest exploit was the kidnap-
ing of the 4-year-old son of Leonard de
Carlo. The boy was found several
miles from home in the custody of
two women agents of the blackmail-
ers. who became frightened and fled
when approached by trolley car con-
ductor. The trolley mans suspicious
bad been excited by the crying of the
child and the woman's actions.
The gang now operating on and near
the Rockefeller estate is believed to
be the same as that which four or five
years ago was investigated and whose
operations were checked temporarily by
the late Lieut.. Petrosino. The terror
lied workmen on the estate can be in
duced TO say little about the black
mailers' extortions, but the police are
working on clews that it is hoped will
result in the final dispersal Of the
gang.

Chicago trade says:
The inviting early spring weather
leads to considerable revival in COM
merce and the immediate effect is
notable in the leading industries and
distributive branches. comparative
ly large gain also appears in the vol
ume of payments through the banks,
testifying to the larger use of funds
incident to the season, while the rec
ord of trading defaults again makes
an encouraging exhibit as to the posi-
ton of credits. Expectations now un-
dergo fulfillment in the more plentiful
commitments for future deliveries of
heavy materials. and substantial con-
tracts indicate the willingness of rail-
road managers to provide for require
ments.
The market for hides has ample
supplies to meet current demands. but
sellers have firmer views as to prices
Tor ensuing months. Tanning opera
tions run steady, with leather under

factories and allied lines have ample
contracts ahead.
