ROBS SAFE AND LAYS FUSE
Gus Anderson, Glove Factory Man
ager, Makes a Confession.
HELPS PUT OUT HIS OWN FIRE
Now Under Arrest at the City Jail
Charged with Arson and Grand
Larceny-Fire LOsS Ten
thousand Dollars.

Guy Anderson, manager Of the Nebraska
Cotton Glove factory. which was seriously
damaged by fire Saturday night is in jail
charged with arson and grand larceny. He
has confessed to robbing the safe and then
laying a fuse which ran for hours before
1t set the building on fire. The books Of
the company he took to his home at 1872
Monroe street. South Omaha, and hid them
under q pile of lumber.
r. II, Sprague, owner of the glove fac
tory, Fifteenth and Jckson streets, says
the books had not been examined for
months and that It would be impossible
to say how much money was taken from
the safe by the manager-thief.
Fire broke out in the glove factory about
10 o'clock and did several thousand dollars
damage, all OF which was covered by in
surance.
Anderson was called to the scene and
helped direct the work Of putting out his
own bonfire.
Detectives Pattulo and Davis were as
signed to look into the case, as Anderson
said that the safe had been rIfled and that
the fire, must have been started to cover
the crime. When he returned Sunday
morning he was looked up. The detectives
had found strips OF cotton flannel soaked
had not been blown, but had been opened
by someone familiar with the combination
Chief Of Detectives Savage accused An
derson directly OF the crime and he CON
fessed. He had carefully laid the fuses Sat
urday afternoon and after rifling the safe
and taking the books set them off about 4
o'clock.
II cannot be decided whether Anderson
set the fire to cover some tampering with
the accounts or whether he was trying
to conceal his burglary of the safe.
The total damage to the stock OF the
factory will probably amount 10 nearly
$4,000. The Kimball laundry. which Is on
the ground floor of the same building suf-

satisfactory. I hold the record for the

Democratic Candidate for Supreme

fFrom a staff correspondent.l

LINCOLN Sept. 12-(Special.) )-If any
nonpartisan democrat has any lingering
notion that his nonpartisan candidate for
supreme judge has not turned ''nullifier'
by accepting retainer from a hated cor
poration to knock out the corporation tax
law passed by the late democratic legisla-
ture, Judge Sullivan has himself now dis
PEELED all doubts.
He has written a letter over his own
name which Is printed IN Edgar Howard's 8
last issue of the Columbus Telegram In
which he says in so many words that he
would just as soon represent "law-defying
corporation" as the dear people," and a
little sooner, because the corporation pays
more money. He says he has not any OBJ
lection to corporations anyway nor any
disposition TO give them the worst OF It II
ne were on the bench, and he does not
recognize the infallihnty Of any antl-cor
poration law, even If it is passed by q
democratic Legislature and signed by a
democratic governor.
Frank in His Statement.
Judge Sullivan says, in substance, that IL
he were not a candidate for office he would
take any case for any corporation that he
thought he could win with profit for him
self, and the fact that he has become a
candidate by taking oath that he is popu-
list as well as democrat and a non
partisan will not be allowed to stand in
the way Of cashing in corporation retain
ers. The letter in full is as follows: 9,

How Much Paid In,

Approximately $4,000, 100000 have
been paid out by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Employees Relief
Funds In the past twenty-three
years. This fact was brought out in
report issued October Goth, 1909, by the
Company, which also shows that In the
month OF September the, benefits
amounted to Sl47, ,O14.96.
The Employees Relief Fund has been
great benefit and blessing to many q
railroader, or his family, and, there
fore, is commendable organization,
but some people who read the reports
furnished to the newspapers by the
company, get the impression that the
railroad company sets aside the amounts
required to pay demands on this fund
from time to time, as there is never
any statement published as to how
much has been paid into this relief fund.
All employees who expect to get any
benefit from the Relief Fund are as.
sessed so much per month, according to
the amount they are TO receive in case,
OF sickness or injury, or the amount the
family is to receive In case OF the death
OF the employe.
