Legal Battle on
wild Cat" Stock
Schemes Starts
Defense Beaten in Attempt to
Force State to Elect Charges
On Which Action Will
Be Brought.

The first legal battle in eonnee.
ton with indictments in wild cat
promotion schemes was waged yes
terday afternoon before District
Judge Troup.
Attorneys for the Shaier BROTH
ers,s Thomas II. Matters. Willard c.
Matthews and Roy L. karls, all in
deted on more than one count, ap-
peared to argue motions to direct the
county attorney 10 elect on which
charge he intends 10 proceed. The
motions were opposed by w. I.
Dorsey.
Judge Troup ruled il is not neccs-
sary for the county attorney TO elect
before objections have been filed to
the form or sufiiciency OF the indict-
ments, upon which count action shall
be brought. Attorneys for the de-
tense were given one week in which
10 file motions to quash.
Embczzlement Alleged.
NJ. +. and w. +. Shaier were in
funds from the American State bank
funds fro mthe American State bank
and for conspiring with Samuel h.
Grace to this end.
Roy +. Karls, former secretary and
treasurer OF the American Bank
Building company and former CASH
icr OF the American State bank when
il was owned by Ward and Marion
Shaier, was indicted for conspiracy
TO embezzle and with aiding and
abetting felony.
Willard {. Mathews, former pres
ident of the defunct Pioneer State
bank and Guaranty Securities COM
pany OF Omaha, was indicted on a
charge of embezzling $780, 900 belong
ing to the Pioneer State bank, and
with causing false entries to be
made on the banks books.
Indictment Attacked.
His attorney, w. A. Schall, in his
argument before Judge Troup, as
serted that the count of the indict-
ment charging embezzlement does
not charge that any of the money
alleged to have been embezzled was
ever in Mathews possession, or that
tnc money was converted 10 MS
own personal use. He also asserted
the statute on which the indictment
is based has been repealed.
He also filed a demurrer declaring
that the alleged offense of caus-
ing false entries to be made in a
banks books is not punishable un-
der the laws of Nebraska.
Attorney for Thomas H. Matters
declared the indictment against his
client is void-because of dupli-
cation of felonies. Two separate
alleged offenses contained in one
count of the indictment, he asserted.
are improperly joined.
All objections to form or suffi-
cheney of indictments will be set
forth in the motions to quash, to
be filed sometime within the week
allotted .bytJudgc Troup.

That Word "Hosnital."

One of the features Of an ancient
Roman home were the "hospitalia,
or apartments set aside for strangers,
or ''hospes." Hence, in its original
meaning the word hospital" was APP
piled to places where strangers were
received and kindly entertained. The
commonly restricted use of the term
to designate places where sick strang-
ers were received was an after de-
velopment.
The word came to us directly from
the French, who got it from the Ro-
mans. 1t is derived, of course, from
the same root as "hospitable.' The
name "HOspitaIer" was borne with
pride by several semi-religious and
semi-lnilitary orders, like the Knights
of st. John or the Knights of Malta,
who made it business to relieve the
poor, the strangers and the sick.
1t is worth noting that the first
hospital for diseased men and ami
mails was established by the Buddhists
In Hindustan.

NATURE or HoUsE-WARMING
Old Custom in England Of Setting Out
Meal for Entertainment
Of New Neiahbors.

An ancient custom is still main
tanned in some parts Of England on
midsummer eve; every housekeeper
who in the course of the year has
changed his residence into new
neighborhood spreads a table before
his door In. the street with bread,
cheese and ale for those who choose
to resort to- it.
The thought cannot but arise that
If this custom were prevalent in the
United States vast number Of our
citizens would be entertaining their
friends and neighbOrs in the street,
owing to the number of removals
which have taken place in the last
year or two.
In Ireland on this day there are al
so remnants of the sun-worshipers.
According to Rev. Donald Mcqueen
''the Irish have ever been worshipers
Of the fire and Of HAL. and are so to
this day. The chief festival in honor
OF the sun and fire is upon the 21sf of
June (23d?) when the sun arrives at
the summer solstice, or rather, begins
its retrograde motion. We were told
that at midnight we should see a
singular sight and accordingly at mid
night fires began to appear and the
people danced about them and made
their sons and daughters and cattle
pass through the fire. Chicago Jour
