Not satisfied with his desperate
effort to whitewash George Arm.
strong and George Brigham, city
detectives, for the part they played
in the murder last week of Eugene
Scott, the Plaza hotel bellboy, Po-
lice Commissioner Ringer now is
accused of covering up other guilty
offenses of the two officers, in be-
half of whom the police department
head is said to have gone to the
extreme of attempting even to OBJ
struct justice in the courts.
As further evidence that Com
missioner Ringer is determined to
wLitewash Armstrong and Brigham
in total of disregard of the facts
in the case. Charles Whalen, the
police commissioners private in
vestigator, approached two news
paper reporters, who witnessed the
shooting down in cold blood OF
Scott, and tried to get them to
repudiate the damaging testimony
they gave against the policemen at
the coroner's inquest.
Met With Refusal.
Francis ]. Boyle, reporter for the
Daily News, was asked to sign a
statement repudiating the facts to
which he testified at the inquest.
Detective Whalen approached the
reporter i'll the police court room
Wednesday just before the prelimi-
nary hearing was called. Whelen's
request met with prompt and indig-
nant refusal.
Thos. J. MacMahon, World-Her-
aid reporter, was questioned by Mr..
Ringers personal representative.
The newspaper man told him that
he was positive OF every detail of
his testimony and would not change
a single word of it.
Are you sure you heard Arm
strong shout Kill the -"
the reporter was asked.
II am absolutely sure" was the
reply, "and l shall repeat the state
ment when l take the stand"
Reporters Stand Firm.
Whalen was unable to prevail on
either of the reporters to misrepre-
sent the facts in the case.
Additional proof of the question
able tactics employed by Ringer
and Eberstein, and further evidence
of the fact that the present heads
of the police department do not
hesitate to attempt to induce wit
nesses to violate their oaths on the
witness stand, is shown in a propo-
sition made several months ago by
Chief Eberstein to reporter for

P R|zES GIVEN
TO MERCHANTS
At FIELD CLUB
Eighth Annual Market Week
Closes With Dinner Dances;
Most Successful
Ever Held.

The eighth annual merchants
market week. pronounced the mos,
successful ever held in Omaha
closed last night with the presenta.
ton of prizes and a dinner dance
at the Omaha Field club.
Nearly 1000 visiting merchants
and their families were present, the
largest number ever assembled since
the market week was inaugurated.
Although a majority of the visitors
were residents of Nebraska, many
were from neighboring states, and
the distant states of Oregon, Cali
fornia and Minnesota were repre-
scented.
The visitors were unanimous in
their praise of the entertainment
furnished them by the market week
committee of the Omaha manufac-
turers and jobbers during the last
four days. A number of merchants
who had never been present at the
fall market week before expressed
surprise at the extensive prepare
tons which had been made for their
entertainment and vowed never to
miss another market week held in
Omaha.
Plans for Next Year.
Jobbers and manufacturers are
also jubilant over the success OF
the week, so jubilant. in fact, that
they are already making extensive
plans for the next market week.
The increase in the number of Wis
itors has made it necessary to for
mulate new plans for their future
entertainment, according to Joe Kel-
ley, general chairman of the mer-
chants market week committee.
One plan, which, according to Mr..
Kelley, is finding much approval
among jobbers and manufacturers,
is the formation of Manufacturers
and Jobbers' Recreation club, which
will purchase a large site in the
suburbs of the city, and build a
huge club house to facilitate the en-
tertainment of merchants during
their visits here.
The entertainment at the Field
club last night was glorious
finale to the market week. Every
thing was as planned except the
flight of an airplane which was to
have performed stunts over the
club. In landing the propeller of
the plane was broken. No one was
injured.

DANGEROUS Counterfei+

The most expert means of counter
feiting American greenbacks has been
discovered by the state police in the
Adirondacks lumber camps, where $40.
$50 and $1O0 notes were being dupIi-
Gated. Banking experts have rro-
nounced them the most clever counter
feitS in existence.
The information now in the hands
of the state police is to be turned over
to the United States department Of ius-
tice. The secret Of the device is a ma
chine which is capable Of splitting the
thin note paper on which American
notes are engraved end permitting the
face and back Of the note to be
stripped from each other. Waxed pa
per is then laid over each half of the
note and a solution applied to trans
Ter enough of the original ink to the
WaXed paper to make an exact dupli-
cate OF the note. The waXed sections
to which the ink has been transferred
are then pasted to the opposite half
OF the good note and in this way two
bank notes exactly alike are produced.

then Prusa, at the foot of Mt. Olympus
that Pliny wrote the letters to TYaian
which are among the most interesting
OF his vOluminous correspondence 1t
is said that Brusa owes its existence 10
some scheme of Hannbal's. but of the
Roman and Bithynian city hardly any
trace remains, though Brusa boasts of
very fine old MOhammedan mosques.
The city of Asia Minor is situate in
lovely country, rich in fruit trees and
Watered by countless springs, and
supports a manufacture of silk which
should develop unhindered now that
the lethargy of Turkish rulers no
