sides at Thirteenth street and Capitol ave-

Officer Kissane on the charge OF grand
larceny preferred by Mrs Kikuya Higa-
shigama of the new Arcade. a house OF
unsavory reputation. The trickery of the
willy oriental is alleged to have caused
Mrs. Higashigama to lose at least $3.50 and

the spoils.
The woman said she had 500 deposited in
the Yokohama Specie bank at San Fran
cisco, receiving certificates of deposit writ
ten in the Japanese language, and that the
certificates were stolen from her trunk by
Nitta. She also alleges she gave Nitta 500
in cash several days ago to forward to the
bank. but the returned certificate Of de-
post showed that only $50 had been sent
and that Nitta had appropriated the bal
ance. she said that when taxed with the
crime Militia gave her check for 500 on
the First National bank to pacify her and
II was later found that the check was
worthless, her own name having been writ
ten on the check by Nitta.

RETAILERS AFTER JODDERS
Threaten 70 Establish Large cooperative
Wholesale Grocery House
PENALTY FOR JoBstRs sETAILlNG GOODS
Secretary Fischer says it is surpris-
ing How Roosevelt Doctrine Has
Been EspOused Among
whOIesaIers' Employees.

The Omaha Retail Grocers' association
has threatened TO organize and operate a
cooperative wholesale grocery company
unless the local jobbers discontinue the
practice OF selling goods direct TO con-
sumers. Such action would not be boy
colt. in the strict sense Of the term, but
it's effect would be the same.
Acting on the 'hunch," the jobbers are
becoming very careful about selling to
others than retailers, and some have gone
so far as to refuse to sell goods to their
own employees who heretofore have been
privileged to buy groceries for themselves
at the same prices paid by the retailers.
The employees, suddenly confronted by an
increased cost of living are in in-humor.
''Is It true you have threatened to boy
colt the jobbers9" was asked of Harry
Fischer, secretary Of the Omaha Retail
Grocers association.
NO" said Mr.. Fischer, but we told
them TO get out of the retail business or
we will get into the wholesale business.
We hope the warning will be effective. 1t
is not an idle threat, either, as 1 believe
the grocers Of the city could organize a
wholesale business which would make
money for itself and for the individual re-
tail houses. But It IL not likely we will
do anything in this line If the Jobbers treat
us right.
Too Much RooseveItianism.
why should you object to the wholesale
house selling groceries to its employees
was asked Mr.. Fisher.
TT is surprising how large families the
employees have he said. ITO Judge by
the amount of groceries they buy from the
3obbers, there is not one of them but could
fulfill President Roosevelts highest ideal
as a perpetuator Of the race. We would
have not the slightest objection to letting
the employe buy groceries for his own
home IL It would stop there. But each
man has about three aunts, four brothers
and five cousins all of them with families,
and he buys at wholesale prices for the
whole bunch. We have unearthed a case
where a man had a wagon to deliver his
goods at the various houses, and 1t is
presumed he got commission from each
family for which he bought.
''rhe practice Is nuisance to the job
bers. and l am sure they will help us
eradicate It."
Mr. Fisher told of one case where the
manager Of a business house which en-
ploys a large number of men had the
nerve to make a list Of it's employees take
II to a grocery house and ask the latter
TO sell groceries at jobbing prices to all
named in the list Not waiting to see
whether the grocery firm would accede or
not, the retail grocers raised such a storm
of protest that the scheme was Immediately
killed.
