African Pinmies.

The historian Herodotus, $500 years
ago, described the African pigmies
which he located near the source of
the Nile. HerodOtus, for once, told
the truth, for it is in that region that
modern explorers have found them.
Stanley described them as having huge
stomachs and short legs, and as '1eap-
ing about like grasshOppers." One
specimen he saw was a full-grown
young woman, three inches short Of
three feet in height, but perfectly
formed and of a glistening sickness
Of body, with absufdly large eyes,"

of their bodies is less than those of
men. The proportion of flesh is great

ASK EXTENSION
OF CAR ROUTING
Want Bellevue Line to Go
Through to } Street to
Benefit Churches and
High School.

South Side citizens have signed a
petition asking the street railway
company to extend their route
of the Bellevue cars to ]
street. Three churches and the high
school are at Twenty-third and J.
while other public buildings are
within the radius of a block from
that point.
At present the car backs onto the
"Y" at Twenty-fourth and N streets.
This makes it necessary for several
score of Sarpy county high school
students either to walk four blocks
in winter or to pay another car
fare. On Sundays, worshippers from
Bellevue and college students there
have had to walk the remaining dis
lance or wait for a second car.
N street is only one block inside
the business district, the petitioners
say, and service as far as L street. at
least, should be given. So sincere
are the signers in their purpose that
they offer to pay the entire cost of
laying a new "Y" at ] street.
J street is the widest street run
ming east and west on the South
Side. 1t is 90 feet broad at Twenty
third street

Much Fighting With the
IA. E. F. Returns Home

Sergt. Fred NJ. Seger, an Omaha
boy, formerly a Bee carrier, has re-
turned from l6 months spent over
seas. Fred landed in New York
August 6.
Sergeant Seger was IA member of
Company H, 39th infantry, Fourth

Argonne forest fighting. August a,
1918, he was gassed and was in the
hospital nearly three months. July
4, 1918, he was in Paris, and the fol-
lowing day left for the front. From
that time on until the signing of the
armistice, with the exception of the
three months in the hospital, he
was in the thickest of the fighting.
The company to which he was at
tached, was the first to cross the
Vessel river when the allied troops
started on their march to Germany.
His battalion was the first to oc-
:upy the city of Coblenz. His twin

EX-SALOON|ST
FINED 500 ON
LIQUOR CHARGE
Charles Lewis Appeals Case
to District Courtroom
traband Held Pend
ing Hearing.

Charles Lewis, former saloon
keeper. was fined 500 and costs
yesterday in police court by Judge
Foster for unlawful possession of
liquor.
Lewis appealed the case and the
;onhscated liquor was ordered held
bending a hearing in district court.
Lewis conviction followed a raid
and seizure of whisky, wines and
cordials at his home, 1880 South
Thirtieth avenue, by State Agent
K P. Samardick. Wednesday night.
Stock Worth $4,000.
The wines and liquors seized in
the raid were valued at $4,000, &C
cording to officers.
Mr.. Lewis, however, denies the
value of the seized liquor exceeds
5000
1T cost less than 5000 at the time
it was purchased" he said. "Of
course, what the liquor might be
worth today, or next year, is profile
NAUTICAL. Reports of the value of
the stock, however, have been
greatly exaggerated"
Lewis declared the liquor was
stored in his home before the first
of May, 1917. the date Nebraska
went dry.
Judge Foster, in imposing the fine,
said the quantity was unreasonable.
Samardick testified Lewis threat
ened him with a shotgun. He said
Lewis dropped the weapon after
Mrs. Lewis pleaded with him.
Il didn't intend to hurt anybody,
judge" said Lewis. 81 though the
gun would lend emphasis to my re-
marks. didn't know the men were
officers until my wife and others in
the room said they were"
Mr.. Lewis was not at home when
Samardick. accompanied by the po-
lice morals squad, came to the
house.
He was located at the Elks' club
by Mrs. Lewis, who told him men
purporting to be officers were
searching the house for liquor.
The Lewis case is similar to the
Burright case, tried year ago in
district court.
Burright, former Omaha saloon
keeper, was arrested and fined in po-
lice court for unlawful possession Of
liquor. No evidence was introduced
to show he had sold or given any
of it away.
Case Was Appealed.
The case was appealed and Jury
decided in Burright's favor. The
liquor, a quantity equal to that
seized at the Lewis home Wednes-
day night, was restored to him.
A feature of the case was that
though the police morals squad ac-
companied Samardick to the Lewis
home they were ordered by Captain
of Police Haze to take no part in
the seizure.
The arrest was credited to the
state agent.
Captain Haze declared at the time
that in his opinion the seizure would
be futile.

JUNIORS PLACED
IN TOP POSITION
Win Baseball Contest From
Seniors When Grads Use
Injured Pitcher.
STANDINGS.

The juniors placed themselves in
the top position of the interclass
baseball league Of the high school
this afternoon when they trounced
the seniors TO the score of 10 to o.
The seniors were at handicap on
account OF Olsen, their pitcher, and
team not being in proper form be-
cause Of an injury to his arm. At
first ollie was not going to take
the box, but, being the only pitcher
the near grads have, decided TO take
a chance and pitched a O-windup
game, not being able TO use his left
arm. AT this he held the juniors in
fair rance and would probably have
taken the game ha0 ne received
proper support.
The game started as if il would
be a smuggling match. the senior
crew making two runs the first and
second innings. But here Buntman
held them, keeping them scoreless
until the last innings, when they
came across with another tally. The
first inning Olsen held the juniors
scoreless, but the next inning they
came across with four runs. These
runs were far from being earned,
as only two out of the seven men
up should have reached first, the
other men planting themselves on
base by means of errors.
Fatal Fourth Inning.
The following round neither team
scored, the men going out one, two,
three on both teams. Then came
the fatal fourth inning for the near
grads, Olsen showing his poor con-
troll by hitting three men and walk
ing two. the juniors driving five
runs across the slab.
The "Swede" then held the men
10 lone run in the following
rounds but the fourth lost the game
despite all the efforts that the near
erads displayed in order TO keep the
top berth. one OF their big efforts
was in the last of the seventh when
"a siN-run rally would hand then,
the game. The seniors succeeded in
placing a man on all the sacks. but
Buntman came across with the right
stuff and pulled out Of the hole. al
lowing only one run 20 cross the
plate.
