HANDBOOK AT THE POST OFFICF,
Police Can't Wake Arrests There and
Betting is Lively.

To the manage Of a poolroom owned by
one Of the shiftiest men in the business
there came this week an Inspiration from
the history OF the Middle Ages. The mana
ger needed inspiration, forthere was nothing
more substantial in sight his room having
been raided and closed, and he came upon
it UNEXPECTEDLY in reading how the fugitives
from Justice found sanctuary in churches
1t If far cry from medieva church
TO modern post oiilcei but the manager
bethouRht himself that several years ago
a bookmaker was arrested 10y the police
for plying his trade in a building owned
by the United States and released because
the CITY authorities had no authority to
make an arrest on United States property.
so he applied the ancient right of sanctuary
TO the modern poolroOm business.
One Of his best men he put In the spacious
corridors of the first floor OF the Federal
Building. while he himself tod the talent
where something was doing The assistant
kept a handbook and recorded the bets,
while in all the saloons OF Park Row and
adjoining streets cappers spread the tip.
The manager selected az his headquarters
a saloon opposite the building and from
this place called on his sheet writer every
half hour. giving him the odds and the
winner and scrutinizing his operations.
Yesterday intelligence Of the new and
secure headquarters OF the business was
so widespread that the sheet writer was
busy every minute OF the afternoon. Appar-
emily he wasn't getting many customers
from the offices in the Federal Building
for those employed there were the last to
hear OF the game. Through the entrances
on the Broadway side there was a constant
stream Of spectators.
If the police knew what was going on
they knew better than to interfere and no
Federal Marshal OF course would bother
for an instant. with such small game.
Marshal Billy Henkel, for instance. would
no more think OF arresting a pool seller
than would President Roosevelt issue an
order concerning the sanitation OF clans
at Quog1e.
The second window from the entrance
on the Broadway side OF the Federal Build
ing is the place to realize on good things.

CONGRESS, CLOSING ITS WORK.
GOOD PROGRESS MADE on ALL
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Deadlock on the Statehood and Canal Zone
Measures Serious-The Former VIII
Probably FaIl--Passage 0f the Latter
Deemed Necessary Plate Fight.

WASHINGTON March BY dint OF hard
work to-day, the two houses Of Congress
made good progress in the disposition OF
the great appropriation bills. But five
OF the fourteen measures now remain in dis
pute-the Naval, Indian, Sundry Civil,
General Deficiency and Rivers and Har-
bors. The principal stumbling block in the
Naval bill is the provision, inserted by the
Senate. for an investigation OF the armor
plate question looking to the erection OF a
Government plant.
There are several points Of difference
on the Indian bin and on the River and
Harbor bill, while on the Sundry Civil and
General Deficiency bills the conferees
have only just started to work. SO, with
thirty-six hours OF the session remaining.
the prospect OF passing all the appropria-
ton bills in season is considered very good
Complete deadlocks exist between the
two houses on two measures OF general
interest-the Statehood bill and the bill
for the government OF the Canal Zone
The House conferees are insisting on the
provisions Of the House BILL which created
two new States out Of the four Territories,
and the Senate conferces are equally OBJ
stinate in their demands for either one
State or two States with Arizona left in its
present territorial position II seems proba
BILE that tho Statehood bill will die with the
session
The urgency Of the Canal Zone bill arises
from the fact that the power given 70 IN e
President to govern the strip expires with
the Congress under the terms OF the au
thorizing act. No doubt ia expressed that
tho executive has ample authority under
the Spooner act to proceed with the work
Of the canal or that sufficient money for the
next year Ia provided for the purpose.
Senator Morgan contends that that act
and the treaty also gave him power to carry
on the government OF the zone but the
best lawyers In the Senate doubt Il and think
II preferable that specific authority be con-
ferred. The two houses agree that legis
lation ia necessary, but they are at odds
over the provision regarding the lsthman
Canal Commission
The House gives the President permission
TO abolish the present commission and
appoint another, as he has recommended.
TO consist of three members. The Senate.
on the other hand wants to retain the present
commission. aad Leuher side has so far
given the slightest intimation of yielding.

over Last Year.

Omaha recently has sprung into prom

report Of the Department OF Commerce
and Labor, Just received by Secretary
Merchant Of the Omaha Grain exchange.
reports seem to indicate that this place
IA being we'll maintained, as receipts for
September Of this cereal we're over 100000
bushels In excess of what they were dur
ing a corresponding period OF 1904, and
shipments were nearly 100000 bushels
greater by a like comparison. 1t Is, how
ever, in connection with nine-month
period that this great improvement in corn
movements at this city is more clearly
manifested, receipts for the current year,

nearly 100000 bushels in excess of those

Receipts Of grain at Omaha and Council
Bluffs during the month of September
reached a total of 100000 bushels, and
were nearly 100000 bushels larger than
corresponding movement in 1904, due prin-
cipally to the greatly increased inbound
movement Of corn, although wheat, oats
! Shipments for the month totaled 1895, 200
bushels, as against 1,24S5OO bushels for a
| like month in 1904 Total grain arrivals
for the first nine months Of the current
year aggregated 900 bushels, divided
| into $4,000 bushels of wheat, 14,6l2OO
bushels of corn, 3.s75,oOO bushels of oats
$4,000 bushels Of rye and 5000 bushels Of
barley. A similar corresponding movement
in 1904 amounted to 1O52s,5OO bushels, the
gain being chiefly due TO increased corr
arrivals, although other grains were re
ceived in heavier quantities. Shipment
of grain from Omaha for the first Mint

arrested time and again for larceny from
