Great Crowds Throng AisIes Of
Auditorium for Opening Night
Inspection Of Displays
.. d.. of Cars.

Automobile week" began yesterday
with the official opening of Omaha's $
thirteenth annual automobile exposi-
ton at the Auditorium with an annex
in the McCaffrey Motor company's
new building.
At the outset the display of passen-
ger cars and trucks in the big exposi-
ton hall was declared to be the great
est in the history of Omaha motor
dom. The exhibit is valued at more
than $1,0O0,000, with So exhibitors
showing 78 different makes of passen-
ger cars and trucks.
There was little uneasiness among
the exhibitors over the success of the
show and their optimism knew no
bounds last night when the Audi
torium was packed to capacity. The
success or failure of the automobile
industry for the coming year rests
with the response made by the public
to the Omaha show in the opinion OF
exhibitors. The middle west, where

section of the country where automo-
biles will be sold this year.
No Preliminaries.
Crowds commenced forming in an
orderly line shortly after noon, and
when the doors were thrown open at
2 o'clock the big building rapidly
filled. Addresses were dispensed with
and the special demonstrators imme-
diately commenced telling of the ad-
vantages of their respective cars to il,
terest auto enthusiasts.
Freak designs are few and far be-

Sheriff Clark took Dennison, Nessel-

rants issued by Magney Monday aft

The complaints filed by Magney

liquors without license and (2)

Under the first complaint the men
are subject to fine of $l00 and i'm
prisonment for three months, and un-
der the second complaint to fine of
$500 to $500 and imprisonment for a
period not to exceed three years.
Magney suggests grand jury to
supplement his work in digging into
other matters disclosed in the course
of the Lynch custer trial.
Dennison and Nesselhous signed
their own bonds, with Ed Peterson,
contractor and horseman, signing as
surety. Lynch asked to be allowed
to 60 his own bond without surety,
but was refused. He had Arthur
Smith, boss painter at the court house,
sign as his surety. fk I. i. i
Jack Haskell, who was also charged
with illegal acts4in the onarstion of
Riverside, is in Kansas City. Extra

get him, I'll 60 down after him." said
Sheriff Clark.

at Sheriff Clark's office and went with
him to the county court, where the
bonds were fixed and signed. Deputy

Dennison's comment. "But what is
