WITNESS IN SWAMI
CASE IS MISSING
And Wife Wouldn't Tell Even
II She Could

New York, Jan. 19.-Once more
Albert L. Wilson, the important wit
ness in the Swami case, is at liberty.
He obtained $4,000 bail yesterday,
but both Mr.. Swami and Lucian S.
Breckenridge, who accuses the dis
trict attorney, seem to be in the dark
as to who put up the $4,000.
Just as the district attorneys &C
cusers said last time that it was the
prosecutors Office that spirited Will
son away to intimidate him, and Mr..
Swann's defenders were quite sure, in
turn, that Mr.. Breckinridge's support
ers were the instigators of the plot,
so last night each side was sure the
other had bailed out the witness
1t was Lloyd P. Stryker who discov-
cred yesterday that Wilson was gone.
Mr.. Stryker, who has asserted that
Wilson would swear he never had the
slightest illicit money transaction with
Breckenridge, sent clerk around to
the Tombs to see Wilson. The clerk
returned to say that the witness was
not there. Mr.. Stryker telephoned to

LUTHERAN Church
GIVES WOMEN VOTE
Rev. Dr.. Gilman Declines In
crease Of $500 in Salary

At the annual meeting of the Swed-
ish Lutheran church held last evening
in the church parlors, the aged topic
pertaining to the giving to the women
of the parish a franchise at the church
meetings was again taken up. Ten
years ago at the synod held in this
city, which was attended by ministers
from all parts of the United States,
the resolution was passed whereby it
was made permissible for the women
Of the local Swedish churches to have
a vote at church meetings if the res
olution was adopted by the respective
churches. The subject last evening was
given a thorough investigation and
arguments pro and con were freely
discussed. Those present finally came
to the conclusion that it would be no
more than fair to give the women the
much desired and belated right and
the resolution was adopted. This
church is one of the first in this To-
cality to have adopted this measure.
Il The remainder of the evening was
!, devoted to. the electing Of officers for
! the ensuing year, the choosing of del
egates to be sent to the New Eng
| land conference, which is to be held
| in New Haven about the middle of
| April and the presentation of reports
shy the secretary and pastor, Rev. s.
| G. Gilman. The reports showed that
| financially the past year had been a
1. very favorable one as compared with
| the year previous. In 1915 there was
balance on hand of $3.50 whereas
! in 1916, with receipts of $7,591.1O and
| expenditures of $7,431.80, there is left
| on hand a balance of $159.30 which is
| a gain of $127.80.
| Reports read showed that the
church debt had been diminished by
| $4,000 which shows that the pastor

church of it's financial burden.

that the bail bond had been accepted

Argentina and Brazil Keep Watch
to Enforce Neutrality !,

Bcunos Aires. Jan. 19-The where-f
abouts Of the German raider which
has been causing such destruction in
Bonth Atlantic waters Il not known
here, but it is reported that all the
British warships stationed In these
waters are already out seeking the
torsair, while other warships, It rs url-
derstood have started out from
Gibraltar to join in the hunt.
The utmost anxiety is felt in ship
Sping circles concerning the safety Of
allied merchantmen which are within
the possible radius OF the commerce
destroyer's operations. The warships
Of the Entente Powers have sent out
warnings Of the raider broadcast by
means of the wireless. !
e Officials Of Argentina and Brazil,
or the alert to prevent violations OF
neutrality, are keeping a vigilant
watch along their respective coasts
~ssvith a view to discovering possible
German naval base or a. secret wire
less station.
In addition to seeking for the raider
herself, the warships of the Allies are
Watching several vessels which are
suspected of having. aided the opera
lions Of the sea rover. Among those
Allaguash, flying the American flag,
which is now on the way from Beunos
Aires to New York.
The agents of the Ortega, and the
Drina have issued statement saying
there Is no confirmation that either
has been sunk, and declare that they
expect them to arrive in port at ap-
proximately the usual time. They also
assert that there is no reason to be-
. neve the Araguaya is endangered, as
II is believed that the raider refrains
from attacking merchantmen even
tightly armed, because a chance shot
Is liable to cause serious damage,
which would be irreparable In view Of
the raiders inability to visit regular
ports Thus her career might be sud
denly terminated.
DESCRIPTIONS of the raider vary from
a ship Of the Moewe type to a large,
heavily armed yacht.
British sources here say the &C
counts Of the raiders activities are
greatly exaggerated, owing to the
efforts of the German news agencies
in Rio and here. Nevertheness, it Is
admitted that some damage has beer
. done and that allied shipping will be
unsafe until the raider is captured OF
sunk.
All accounts agree that the corsai1
Is literally supplied with food and
fuel from her prizes.
Although the raider is equipped
with torpedo tubes, all accounts thu:
far received agree that she sunk hel
victims by dynamiting their hulk.
Several Of the victims, while being
pursued, flashed rs. o. S." calls by
wireless But the raiders speed en-
abled her to overtake and destroy
each vessel before help could arrive.
Disbelief is expressed here in the
statement that the Yarrowdale has
been sunk, and it Is believed that she
will intimately materialize with 400
refugees taken by the Germans from
9 ships which were afterward sunk an6
= placed aboard her.
The accounts of arrivals here indi.
cate that the raider was careful tc
svoid loss OF life.

trict Attorney Swami. He told them,
they said, that he had not the slight
est knowledge of the latest event in
the life of his chief witness.
Inquiry at Wilson's home, EOS West
14Oth street, last night brought forth
the statement from Mrs. Wilson that
she didn't know where her husband
was and wouldn't tell If she did,
AS far as could be learned the
search for Wilson ended there, since,
as long as bail has been furnished,
he is fully entitled to his liberty and
can not be called a fugitive unless his
presence before the grand jury Is
sought and he fails to appear. Mr..
Swami can, If he chooses, force Will
son either to appear today, or to be-
come a fugitive hunted by the police.
by issuing a subpoena for him to
come before the grand jury forthwith.

OLD GUARD WILL
HOLD FLOOR SWAY
Same Old Teams Expected to
Be Leaders in Basket Ball
Tourney Again.
EARLY DOPE PROVES BAD
By KARL LEE,

With the exception of perhaps three
teams, the state tournament this year
will be confined to the usual leaders.
Mid-season dope brings the assurance
that those bigger-town squads that
were thought to be slipping earlier in
the year will be up and about again
with the old-time characteristic speed,
Crete and University Place are two
examples.
The fight for berths in the first di-
vision of the tourney is the paramount
objective. Contests between teams of
different sections of the state are
bringing to light the keenness OF the
rivalry between the teams. Geneva
and Sutton hold best claims TO titular
honors in the middle south, while
Friend and Crete are close seconds,
with a good chance OF developing a
winning style of play.
Central High, Lincoln and Fremont
are leading the eastern section, with
Schuyler, North Bend and South High
strong challengers. In the far north
Norfolk holds the banner, with the
Indian FIVE at Genoa a close second.
University Place is the dark horse
in Lancaster county and is credited
with having a better squad than the
Capital City. In the central west,
Kearney, Ord, Newman Grove and
Gothenburg hold sway.
Battle of Champs.
The championship battle, it is clear
at the present moment, will be con
test of champions Of the various sec
tons of the state. Norfolk is leader
in the north, Crete in the south, SUIT
ton in the west and Central High
Fremont and University Place in the
central east. Developing from this
inner circle, the strongest fives to date
are: South High, Geneva, Newman
Grove, Columbus, Friend, Lincoln
Kearney, Schuyler and Ord. Hum.
boldt has climbed to popularity with a
long list of victories and will prob
ably be listed among first division
teams at the tourney.

great battle in the game between Cen

FRED CLARKE IS
WORTH A MILLION
Former Manager of Pirates
Gains Fortune in Recent
Oil Strikes.
REWARD FOR INTEGRITY

Fred Clarke, former manager OF
the Pittsburghs, is worth 81 100000
This was the statement made by Pres
ident Dreyfuss the other day. This
was the first insinuation that +. Gilt
ford had reached the highest mark
in financial circles ever achieved by
former ball spieler. Last summer
Cap was put down with rating OF
close onto $250,000, but the golden
flow coming in fall moments has en-
riched him beyond the widest antici-
pations. Cuff Not bit OF it. Here's
an example that can be cited in sup
port of the case. Freddy was field
man for three months last spring,
that u.s., he went the rounds OF ranch
owners in his near neighborhood and
took up leases for oil and gas.
Integrity is Rewarded.
Cap was free lance, but was act
ing under the direction OF develop
ing company, though bound only by
word of mouth. Clarke secured OPP
tions in his own name. When ac-
cumulated these same reserves sud
denly increased in value over night,
due to an oil strike adjacent. Clarke

And took his club in hand,
And set himself to smote the pill
Into another land.
