SINCLAIR SAYS HE RESIGNED
Not Disposed to Talk mt Length
the Report of His
Dismissal.

Two federal building friends of Postoff1ce
Inspector d. ]. Sinclair do not credit the
report that Mr.. Sinclair has been summary
removed from Office. Mr.. Sinclair was seen
Saturday and, while not disposed to talk
of the matter or make any comments upon
the repeated reports of his removal or that
his resignation had been called for, said:
Il have rendered my resignation. l have
not been advised of its acceptance, nor was
1 requested to resign. Further than this
1t would be imprudent for me to say any
thing"
A friend who stands pretty close to Mr..
Sinclair, but who declined to have his name
used, said;
II know Sinclair has always been re-
garded as one of the best inspectors in
the service. With the increase in the num-
bers of inspectors recently, more or less
jealousy has been generated, and the zeal
of some OF the new inspectors in digging
into matters that could be settled by a
little friendly caution on the part of the
inspectors and which has been practiced
heretofore with the full concurrence OF
the Postofice department in the matter of
the unintentional infractions Of postoffice
rules, has doubtless been taken advantage
of by these overzealous inspectors. To
such cause l attribute the real gist of
the Sinclair episode. understand. too. that
the most cordial relations do not exist
between Mr.. Harrison, chief inspector OF
one of the western divisions, and Mr.. Sin
clair. But l know nothing OF the extent
Of this alleged unfriendly feeling. Mr..
Harrison's headquarters are in St. Louis
and he has also an office at Kansas City,
In which division Nebraska is located. I
have not talked with Mr.. Sinclair recently,
but from casual observation l am led 10
think the trouble lies largely with the
strained relations said to exist between
Superintendent Harrison and Inspector Sin
clair"

FALSE ALARM AT BENEFITS
Trouble with wires Brings out Fire
Department and Draws
Crowd.

Trouble with the wires connecting the
automatic sprinklers at the Bennett store
with the fire alarm system caused false
alarm of fire to be turned in from the big
department store about $50 Sunday after
noon and for time created considerable
excitement. Chief salter and his men
searched the store from garnet to cellar,
but could find no trace of fire or water.

CHILD LABOR PLEA is TOO LATE
Request for Sermons Yesterday Not
Received in Time.


Few. II any. sermons on child labor were
delivered from the pulpits OF Omaha Sun
day even though the national child labor
committee had requested many of the
preachers to speak on the subject The
reason for their apparent neglect of the
request is found in the fact that the
committees letters came too late to allow
them to change plans already adopted.
Many of them were in the midst of a
series Of sermons and did not wish to
break the continuity. Some will preach
on the subject next Sunday and some a
week or two later.
Names Of prominence are included in the
personnel of the committee which has re-
quested the sermons. Among them are
Secretary Taft. Senator Tillman. Grover
Cleveland Clifford Pinchot, John Graham
Brooks, Cardinal Gibbons. Hoke Smith,

HUNTINGTON TALKS ON EDUCATION
Chancellor of wesleyan Speaks al
walnut Hin Methodist.

Chancellor of wesleyan Speaks at
walnut Hill Methodist.
Sunday was educational day at Walnut
Hill Methodist church. the morning being
given to sermon on education and the
evening to a rally of the Nebraska Wes-
leyan students OF Omaha
Chancellor d. w. c. Huntington of Ne
braska Wesleyan university delivered the
morning sermon, or, rather. It was a talk.
To show the advantages of higher educa-
tion he used Prof Thwing's analysis of
"who's Who" Prof. Thwing says there
are 40,000,0 900 people in the country who are
more than q years of age. OF these,
100000 are illiterate. 100000 have had
district or grade school education. 1000, 900
have had high school education and 100000
are college graduates. OF the 5000 persons
mentioned in who's Who" twenty-one
are OF the illiterate class, sos OF the dis
trict school class. 1.245 of the high school
class while nearly 5000 are college grad
yates.
Dr. Huntington made plea for financial
support for Nebraska Wesleyan university
and in comparing its advantages with those
of other schools had occasion to refer to
the relative advantages of state and de-
nominational institutions. The latter, he
said, are more successful in two particu-
lars; they give better moral and religious
training and by being smaller institutions
are able to look after the individual and
give him a better education than the
larger schools. Wesleyan university, he
said, stood thirty-first among fifty leading
denominational schools OF the country nine
years ago, while today 1t stands tenth.
In the evening the students and gradu-
ates OF Nebraska Wesleyan university who
live in Omaha gathered at the church,
where the following program was given,
