President Burnham of the Nebras-

bankers in the smaller towns of the
state, expresses the opinion that its
adoption will be without any marked
opposition. Its workings will be SIM
liar to the workings of the clearing
house association that takes in the
larger cities. Deposits in one bank
of the association will have the guar
antee of each and every bank that
is in the organization and in this way
every dollar of deposits will have
the guarantee of millions of dollars.

CARPENTER HELD
Vincent A. Altman Bound Over
as Thrower of Bomb
at Chicago.
EVIDENCE CIRCUMSTANTIAL
Presages Bitter War Between I'm
ions Whose Business Agent He
is and the Police.

Chicago, July 16-The holding of
Vincent A. Altman, the assistant busi-
ness agent of the carpenters union, to
the grand jury on the charge of plac-
ing the bomb which damaged the tele-
phone companys building in the down
town district the night of June q, has
caused a sensation.
Although Altman has been under ar
rest week, the strength of the police
evidence against him has been care
fully guarded. Altman's friends of the
labor union freely predicted it was a
bluff and that he would be released.
War Between Union and Police.
The action yesterday presages bitter
war between the unions and the po-
lice force-a war that already has
opened. The carpenters have put into
the field volunteer detective force,
and charges are made that the police
are afraid to arrest the real bomb
thrower who is said to be in posses
sion of information regarding those
who have protected gambling in this
city for years.
States Attorney Wayman appeared
in person to prosecute Altman before
Judge McSurely. He was backed by
Acting Chief of Police Schuettler, Act
who is in charge of the case, and Cap,
tain O'Brien of the detective bureau.
Was at the Scene.
Gustave Simons, an employe of the
telephone company, testified that the
night of June q, he had occasion to
go into the alley where the bomb was
placed. 81 noticed Altman standing
at. the mouth of the alley" he said
"He was looking into the alley | saw
him first at $50, again at 10:30, and
when l went through two hours later
he was standing as before"
James w. Eliker, clerk for the Du
pont De Nomours Powder company
| identified Altman as the man who, un.
! der the name of Frank Smith, had
bought 200 feet of fuse from him two
months ago
| Nathan Wilkus, a fireman for the
John b. Thompson restaurant, which
opens into the alley where the explo
sion occurred, identified Altman as the
man whom he saw enter the alley with
small satchel few minutes before
the explosion. He said he was sitting
! in the alley when Altman came
through-once at $3.50 O'Clock and
again at 10:30.
