BURGLARS STIR THE BANKERS
Latter's state Association to Consider
Matter of Rewards at Meet
ing in May.

When the executive council of the Ne
braska Bankers association meets in May
the principal question that will come be-
fore 1t will be the adoption of a plan OF
rewardIng the arrest and conviction OF per-
sons who rob or defraud banks which are
members of the association.
The funds from which. these rewards will
be paid comes from the commissions paid
the association on burglary insurance writ
ten by an eastern company under con-
tract made about a year ago. This fund
now amounts to about $1,000 and has been
increased rapidly during the last thirty
days because of the increased demand for
insurance against burglars. Burglars have
been active in the last two months and at
least one of the banks robbed was a mem
Der of the Nebraska association, but 1t
will be impossible Tor the association to
offer a regular reward for the arrest and
conviction of the criminals as the matter
is in the hands OF the executive council. and
It is said by members of he association
that the council cannot offer a reward for
the apprehension of criminals who have
operated before the general scheme of re-
wards has been adopted
1t is said that since the Missouri asso-
citation began offering standing rewards for
the arrest and conviction Of burglars and
bank robbers, that form of crime has de-
creased in the state more than one-halt
and II is expected that the same effect will
be secured in Nebraska after May.

CRUSHES SKULL FOR LUCRE
Murderer Stays Wealthy Man, Takes
Watch and Pin, but Misses
Cash.

NEW YORK, Feb s.-Louis Mandel, a
dealer in old ircn, was murdered today in
his office in East Twenty-third street, his
skull being crushed by blows struck with
heavy iron bar. He was found in an un-
conscious condition and died in the hos
pital.
Robbery was evidently the motive OF the
crime, as the desk at which Mandel was
sitting when he was attacked was rjfied
and his gold watch and chain and diamond
pin were taken. The murderer overlooked,
however, large sum which Mandel had
in an inner pocket.
According to the statement OF James
Murphy, employed in the iron yard, Man
del reproved an Italian known as "Joe''
for neglecting his work, and ordered him
to go and wash a wagon. The Italian
complied grumblingly. and Murphy went to
breakfast. On his return he found Mandel
unconscious on the floor in the ofice and
the italian missing.
