Evidence Presented by District
Attorney Considered Too
Weak for True Bills.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Because
members of the grand jury investigat-

believed that the evidence presented to
them by District Attorney Whitman
was too weak on which to base true
bills. they decided this afternoon that
no indictment should be returned at the

sensation, as it had been expected that
a blanket indictment covering seven

BALL CLIMAX OF FESTIVAL
Premier Event of Social Year to Be
Held Friday Evening.
MANY VISITORS TO BE PRESENT
This Years Ball to Surpass In
SplendOr Any Which Has
Gone Before,

If Coronado the Spanish grandee and
adventurer who travelled northeast from
Mexico into the far-famed country known
as the kingdom of Quivera, in search of
gold nearly four centuries ago, were to be
present at the festivities of the Ak-Sar-
Ben coronation ball next Friday night
at the den he would see evidences of
prosperity probably equal to his most
alluring visions Of wealth untold. He
would see prosperity based not upon the
metal gold, it is true, but upon the more
certain and substantial gold of the
ripened corn.
Coronado would see a wonderful COM
bination of the romantic glamor Of the
middle ages-the pomp and ceremony OF
medieval courts with royalty In all its
magnificence, chivalrous knights and
beautiful ladies, together with modern
stitut.ons-myriads Of electric lights,
colorful decorations, band music and
spirited dancing-all permeated with the
very twentieth century American idea Of
boosting for ones own province.
The Ak-Sar-Ben ball is conceded to be
the premier social event of all the year
throughout the realm. 1t is the climax
Of fortnight Of merry-mak!ag held to
celebrate Nebraska's prosperity and to
increase the spirit of cooperation for
greater success. 1t Is the largest and
most representative gathering Of the
well-to-do citizens of the realm at their
VYnf~ hns n1n CT ffraa
hons. Everyone is there-doctor, law
yer,- merchant-even the ministers turn
out to the ball, finding something in the
occasion beyond its mundane appearance.
The Ak-Sar-Ben ball is the one social
event of the whole year to which many
a city father can be persuaded to go
with wife and daughters, 1t is sometimes
a hard pull for the women of the family
to make him consent to don his evening
clothes and to get him started denwards.
But once safely inside the Coliseum walls,
surrounded on all sides by light and life
and music and laughter and greeted by
his neighbors and business associates,
fathers heart begins to warm beneath
his stiff shirt front, and before mother
and the girls realize what has happened
his heels are twinkling off over the ball
room floor to the tune of "Everybody's
DOM 1t Now"
Many Visitors.
A large delegation of visitors always
pours into the city for the Ak-Sar-Ben
festivities and many of them stay for
the ball. This is the time Of year when
Omaha shows most hospitality and plays
the host and hostess with greatest vim.
If anyone wishes to elterta.a relatives
or friends, he usually manages to have
them here during the fall festivities. when
there is something going on every min

drawn in outline, with an arrow appar-
emily buried in its vitals, appears on the
large bowl Of red clay. This is probably
record of hunting expedition when
an elk was killed.
Other striking designs are butterflies,
some very much conventionaliEed, which
the Indians worshiped as "sleep-bring-
ers;" queer zig-zag design, which is
generally interpreted as conventional
lied bird, and conventional flowers,
These are nearly all in red and brown on
background of creamy white. The clay
Is very slightly baked, and most Indian
pottery lacks a glazed surface, except
where they had learned the trick from
the white men.
The same artistic shapes that are seen
In basketry are common in Indian pot4
terry, except in some that have been made
for the white mans trade. There is
scarcely vase or bowl In the collec-
ton that is not graceful In shape. Some
are purposely grotesque, the figures stand
out In relief and may have served as
handles These are usually frogs and
lizards. There are many pieces decorated
with these lizards, sometimes in convent
uonal form, The reason for these deco
rations Is very much the same as the
reason for artistic designs in basket
work as we'll In spite of the surroundI
ings, the disagreeable conditions under
which the Indians lived, there must have
been a love Of the beautiful and desire
to initiate 1t underneath all their work!
They should receive all the more credit
for the fact that they did not look fon
strange. unusual things to represent, but
took the common objects about them and
made them beautiful.
