COMBINED SHOWS
TO Be HERE SOON
Famous Circus This Year Car.
ries More Than 1000 Peo.
pie and Uses Three
Large Trains.

The billboards and dead walls
about the city are proclaiming in
all the eloquence of pictorial art that
the Carl Hagenbeck and Great Wal
lace shows combined is--to visit
Omaha Monday, June 80, at Twenty
FIRST and Paul streets. Great inter-
est attaches to the event because
amusement lovers will have a chance
of viewing the combined perform
ance of the two greatest circus or
organizations on the road.
The Carl Hagenbeck trained wild
animals are famed in every nation
on the globe, At the European head
quarters of the show, London, Eng
land, the animals are transported
after their capture and taught to
perform remarkable feats. There are
lions that ride upon the backs Of
galloping horses; tigers that ride
bicycles; polar bears that play roller
coaster and in fact there may be
seen during the performance almost
every wild animal, broken and sub
dued to execute tricks. Almost a
score, Of noted wild animal trainers
headed BY Capt. Emil Schwyer. have
charge of the performing wild ani=
mails. They all perform in a mas
sive steel arena.
The history of the Great Wallace
circus is part of the history of
America. With B. E. Wallace as
the originator. the show grew from
a single wagon to one of theN most
colossal institutions of its kind.
Starting as a poor Indiana farmer
boy, Mr.. Wallace by perseverance
and honesty in the course of 80
years. saw his show reach the pin
nacle of Americas circuses. He
was once SO poor that he was glad
to work for 50 cents per week.
Today he is rated as Americas
richest circusman. The assertion
has never been questioned. Yet,
with his many and varied interests,
he devotes his personal attention to
to the interests of the Hagenbeck-
Wallace shows. There are in the
neighborhood of 1000 people con-
nected with the big show. He per-
sonally engages every attache. The
combined shows are transported
from city to city upon three of the
longest circus trains in America.
The q tents that house the great
circus cover a small size farm, form
ing in fact a complete city within it.

How to Acquire Hair Beauty

You can enjoy a delightful sham
poo with very little effort and for
a very trifling cost, if you get from
your druggists a package of can
throx and dissolve a teaspoonful in
a cup of hot water. This makes a
full cup of, shampoo liquid, enough
so it is easy to apply it to all the
hair instead>of just the top of the
head. Your shampoo is now ready.
Just pour little at a time on the
scalp and hair until both are en-
tirely covered by the daintily per-
fumed preparation that thoroughly
dissolves and removes every bit of
dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After
rinsing> the hair dries quickly with
fluffiness that makes it seem
heavier than it is, and takes on a
rich luster and softness that makes
arranging it pleasure.-Adv.

street. lam unable to say what the
exact time was, but I would judge
that it was about an hour before the
officers made the raid on the house.
The detectives told me that they
wanted me to take them for ride.
l had nothing particularly to do,
and invited them into my car. Later
they obtained several bottles OF
whisky. I do not know where they
got the liquor. They insisted on my
drinking until I was intoxicated.
Both of the officers wer intoxicated.
Took Joy Ride
We had been riding around for
some time when Herdzina and Arm
strong proposed to me to help them
to frame up on the house at 2l06
Cass street. l told them | had my
girl staying there. They told me to
go to telephone and call her, and
tell her to get away that the place
was going to be raided. We waited
long enough for my girl to get away
and drove back to the Cass street
address. l went in ahead of the de-
tectives and placed a brandy bottle
in the room occupied by Mrs. Apple

minutes before the officers entered
the house and made the arrests.

presumption that they were neces-
sarily there for immoral purposes"
The court held that the prosecu-
ton had not shown that Mrs.
Brown knowingly permitted ary
wrongdoing in her flats.
When the prosecution introduced
Policeman Fred Palmtag, Judge
Holmes was moved again to express
himself in forceful language. Palm
tag was sworn as witness to testify
to the reputation of young woman
who was arrested at the time of the
raid at 2l06 Cass street. Palmtag
admitted that his testimony dated
back nearly two years.
IF this line of testimony would
be admitted, it would tend to
blacken the character of a young
woman who may have reformed.
Did you ever hear of the Mary Mag
delene?" the judge asked of the
prosecutor. Palmtag was excused.
Pearl fisher, another witness for
the state, testified that she lived one
year in the Brown flats. On one
evening she overheard three men
arguing in an automobile outside of
the Brown place.
Never heard anything wrong in
side" she testified.
What is the use of taking up the
time of this court with this kind Of
witnesses?" asked the court. Miss
fisher was excused.
Witness Excused.
Miss Delta Tillman, resident of
the Young Woman's Christian asso-
citation home at 20l6 Cass street,
started to testify, but when she ad-
mitted that all she had ever heard
of the reputation of the Brown flats
was gossip inside of her own place of
residence, the court ordered her ex-
cused and her testimony stricken
from the records.
Alice M. Mason, house secretary
of the associa ton home, 20l6 Cass
street. testified that she heard taxi
cabs stop at 2l06 Cass street
What do you know of 2l06 Cass
street as a place frequented by i'm

witness.

Conscience stung, Roy Kelly at
at the 18th hour has made clean
breast of the cowardly and criminal
conspiracy between himself and De-
tectives Herdzina and Armstrong to
brand the Mrs. Thomas Brown flats
at Twenty-first and Cass streets as
a disorderly house.
Kelly who is an acknowled ged
beotlegger and who has boasted of
selling whisky in Omaha under po-
lice protection, is only Is years old.
In a signed statement pleading
that his conscience would not allow
him to remain silent longer, the boy
tells the details of the sordid story
of the conspiracy instigated by the
two detectives. whom Commissioner
Ringer is defending for having en-
tered the Brown flats, after having
framed up to show that the house
owned and rented by Mrs. Brown
at 2l0o Cass street is place of pros
titution. Mrs. Brown was insulted,
subjected to cruel humiliation,
thrown in Jail without bond and
threatened by the police.
Admits He Did Wrong
Kelly says his motive for telling
the truth is that he knows he has
done wrong to the parties living in
the two houses. He declares he
was allowed to escape by the police
after he had carried out his part of
the agreement
1t is his opinion Detectives Herd
zina and Armstrong were actuated
by a desire to incur the favor of
their superior officers in the police
department.
Kelly asserts that he has been in
Omaha ever since he was allowed
to make his escape early on the
morning of June E. He has talked
to scores of policemen, who read
Mr. Ringers statement last week
that he had been rearrested and was.
being held at the city Jail. The
policemen also knew Judge Foster
ordered Kelly arrested on sight.
He does not believe that any at
tempt was made by single police
man to apprehend him.
Riding Around City
Kelly has been riding around the
city every day in his automobile
without fear of arrest. He was told
he would not be Called on to tes-
tify at the Brown, trial. He was led
to believe he was not wanted to ap-
pear at the council hearing of the
case against Herdzina and Arm
strong.
Kelly declared ne is gong to leave
Omaha to start life over again.
He tells of how Detectives Herd
zina and Armstrong approached him
late on the night of June 5. They
asked him to take them for ride
in his car.
Kelly says he drove the two de-
tectives around the city for while
when they suggested getting some
whisky. The officers procured sew
eral bottles of liquor and drank with
the boy until three of them were
drunk, he declared.
Then, he says, they made him
their proposition to frame up on
the house at 2l06 Cass street, which
two other detectives had been
watching for a week, and in regard
to which they. reported to Chief OF
Detectives Dunn they were unable
to find anything wrong.
Kelly says that he objected, be-
cause the girl whom he had repre-
sented to be his wife, was staying
in the house. The officers told him
to call up and have the girl to get
out of the house.
According to the statements of
the occupants of the Cass street
i,cuse, the girl left a few minutes
before the officers arrived
