ed into the street. 1t was with
difficulty that the police forced a
way for the troops to pass, i'll

Every State Deposits Wreath.
AS the head of the division went
past the pylons Of a Roman forum,
leading up to the arch, Sergeant
Reidar Waller of the One Hundred
and Fifth machine gun battalion,
decorated with the congressional
medal of honor and the Distin-
| guished Service Cross, severed
with trench knife the silken cord
which barred the way and the van
guard OF the division passed
through. -.-# .
Under the arch the division moved
on through narrow lane between
| the crowds to the court of
the victorious dead at the public
library. The roll of honor and the
records of their heroic deeds were
i'll the center of a cluster of trees,
surmounted by crossed spears and
golden eagles, from which hung
golden shields emblazoned with the
divisional insignia.
Here the caisson lnemoralizing
the dead was halted. Eight men,
all wearing the Distinguished Ser
vice Cross, who had been leading
the horses. lifted the wreath of the
Twenty-seventh off the catafalque
and laid it reverently at the foot of
the honor roll. By nightfall a
wreath from every state in the
union had been placed beside that
of New York.
On up the avenue moved the divi-
sion to the Court of Jewels which
spanned the street where the park
begins. Once through the arch,
which glittered like a brilliant bau-
Bile as the sunlight flashed from the
swaying prisms, the marchers came
abreast Of the great stand on which
sat their relatives.
Cheers Continuous Roar.
The volleys of cheers became a
continuous roar as the head of the
line came into sight of the stands.
Back of the doughboys came the
divisional machine gun corps. They
were the men whose orders were, in
the face of an impending drive:
IF the gun teams cannot remain
here alive, they will remain here
dead. Should any man, through shell
shock or other cause, attempt to
surrender, he will remain here
dead"
As the caisson of the dead reached

NJ AULEY TO QUIT
PLACE At HEAD
Geneva SCHOOL
Superintendent Of Girls Re-
formatory Hands Resigna-
ton to Board; Successor
Likely to Be Woman.

Lincoln, Neb., March 2s.-(Spe-
eial Paul S. McAuley, superin-
tendent of the State Girls school at
Geneva. rendered his resignation to
the Nebraska Board of Control to-
day following an investigation of
alleged whippings of inmates, and
mismanagement of the school. The
investigation was conducted by a
legislative assembly upon complaint
that strapping, whipping and punish
ing Of girls was being practiced by
the superintendent.
The board of control accepted
McAuley's resignation and woman
will succeed the superintendent, &C
cording to H. c. Gerdes and +. O.
Mayic!d, members of the board. 1t
was stated that the present supe-in-
tendent will retain his position until
his successor Is named. 1t is de-
MED by Commissioner Mayfield that
Superintendent McAuley was re-
quested to resign.
1t is said that friends of Miss
Lena f. Ward, superintendent of
the Milford Industrial home for
Women, are urging that she be ap-
pointed to the place and there are
others who are urging the appoint
ment Of DR.. Halle Ewing, a Lin
coin woman physician and social
worker. The latter is not an appli-
cant for the place and her interests
are being pushed by friends without
her knowledge.
Mr.. McAuley was custodian Of the
South Central school in South Oma-
ha before appointed by the old
South Omaha Board of Education
as attendance officer for that dis
trict. When South Omaha was
taken into Omaha under the merger
act he was given an appointment as
assistant attendance officer of the
Omaha school district, with jurisdic-
ton in the South Side. \

SAN CARLO CO.
Sin &c RS GIVE.
NINE. BUTTERFLY
Week Of Opera Opens at Boyd
Before Large Audience
With Appealing Master
piece Of Puccini.

The San Carlo Grand Opera COM
pany was welcomed to Omaha last
night by an audience which Hlled
the Boyd theater, and which mani
tested its approval of the excellent
production of Madame Butterfly
in no uncertain manner.
Much has already been said in
praise OF the San Carlo company
in the years in which it has almost
become part OF us.
Every year it excels itself and
raises its own standards. The or
chestra, the scenery and the singers
improve constantly, and the new
singers who are introduced more
than justify their selection.
More Intimate Touch.
The annual visit of the San
Carlo company is always an i'm
portant event in the musical life OF
Omaha. The change from the
Auditorium to the Boyd theater
necessitates somewhat smaller
stage, but it lends touch Of init
macy and makes one feel more en-
rapport with the actors than was
possible in the larger hall. The
orchestra, too filled the Boyd
theater much more successfully than
it did the larger building, and alto
gcthcr the change meant added en-
joyment and comfort for the listen
crs.
This is the first time that the San
Carlo company has presented
Madame Butterfly" in Omaha The
production more than justified the
enthusiastic reception accorded it,
and proved again the reason for the
great popularity and success of the
company. When one considers the
high grade of production and the
moderate cost of the seats, one can
not but be impressed anew with the
skill in management which makes
it possible. In the meantime the
feasts of music are on, and we'll
worth the patronage of those who
will enjoy them.
Onuki Captivates.
Madame Butterfly" last evening
marked the Omaha debut of Haru
Onuki, a Japanese prima donna so
altogether charming, petite and so
naive in her portrayal of the title
role as to completely captivate her
hearers, and give personal appeal
to the character over and above the

wonderful music OF the gifted PUG
.cini. There is a little touch of real
ism, and an indefinable grace and
daintiness which is not found in the
Interpretation OF this character by
foreigners" The presentation by
Onuki is marked by restraint rather
than by over-acting, yet she wins
and holds the sympathy from the
very first. Her voice is sweet and
of especial beauty in the high tones,
and she sang the taxing music with
excellent effect.
The company was we'll selected
to support the charming Butterfly.
Agostini is an old friend who has
won his Omaha audiences by many
deserved success in the past. He
made convincing Pinkerton, both
vocally and histrionically, in spite
of the ungratful character of the role.
Suzuki was we'll sung by DORA Fer
nanda, and Sharpless by Rodolto
Fornari, both newcomers to Omaha,
and the smaller parts by Biasi, Ros-
SIM and others were we'll taken.
Orchestra Appeals.
The chorus gave a good account
ing of itself when occasion demand
ed. The orchestra under Gaetano
Merola gave able support through
out the opera. The beautiful orches-
trail interlude between acts | and ii
was one of the fine moments of the
entire evening. The music of Ma
dame Butterfly" with its melodic
beauty. its contrasts of oriental and
occidental staging. its broad sweep
and poignant emotional appeal. all
serves to idealize the story. 1t is
Some of the great music OF the world
and this opera is considered PUG
cini's masterpiece. Last nights pro.

it awakens enthusiasm for the other

Detective Charles Jensen and my
self were instructed by Chief of De-
tectives Dunn to go to 1919 Dodge
street and arrest one Charles T.
Coleman, deserter from the army.
Il was standing at the corner of
Twentieth and Dodge streets wait
ing for Coleman, when I saw him
coming down the street to the
southwest corner of Twentieth and
Dodge streets. He looked around
as though he thought there was
something wrong and then cut
across the street to the northwest
corner. | called to Jensen, There
he is now Coleman saw me run
ming behind him and l was calling
to him to halt, which he did not do.
He ran to the middle of the block,

Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. /

stopped, and l then put him under
arrest, and was walking, him back
to the box at Twentieth and Dodge
streets. When we got half way
along the block, he kept calling me
names and asked why l did not put
the handouts on him. He said if
someone by the name of George
was there they would kill me and l
would never take him. He then
started to fight with and pull away
from me, but I held on to him as
long as I could. I asked a BY
stander to help me hold him, but he
shook his head, No. and laughed at
me. Coleman said he was soldier
and that no dam civilian could ar,
rest him or put hands on him. /
tried to make him come along with
me and behave like man; he made
a pass at me and l then pulled the
gun from my pocket and kept hold
of him. He struck me in the neck
and then broke and ran. / called to
him to halt, but he did not do so. l
then pulled the gun down on him,
aiming to hit in the leg, but the shot
went tooshigh. Coleman fell to the
ground and said, I'm shot He
then rolled over on the sidewalk. l
then took off my coat and placed it
under his head and called to Jensen
to get the wagon and a doctor.
When the wagon arrived we took
