AD CLUB REAL ON BOOSTING
Omaha Men Are Praised for the Work
They Did at the Last Big
Convention

Colonel j. Mccarthy Of University City.
advertising manager for the Lewis pub
LEGATIONS, spoke to the Omaha Ad club
Wednesday noon at the Rome.
II don't believe any city was ever better
represented at a convention than was
when it secured the meeting for
1910 Of the National AID clubs" said Mr..
Mccarthy, who was one OF the chief boost
ers for omaha. THAT bunch would make
a good permanent bunch of convention
boosters.
"All forms Of advertising are good, some
forms are better, but they all depend for
success on the ability of The man in charge
10 choose which is the best for his class OF
goods. Accomplishment gives the real in
spirauon for more advertising"
The annual election of officers Of the
Omaha Ad club will be held next month
and considerable interest attaches because
of the coming OF the national convention.
A boosting committee has been appointed
to secure new members that Omaha may
be in position to make a big showing this
summer.

Stolen Gifts
Amounted to
5000 or $500
Estimated Value Placed on Losses
from Van Barn Between Christ
mas and New Years.

The robbery Of a wagonload of New
Years Christmas and New Years gifts n
the Omaha Van and Storage company's
barn on the night of December 20, netted
the thief a considerable sum of money,
The total amount of the robbery is not
to be computed accurately, as many OF
the express receipts have not been traced.
but is estimated at between 5000 and 500.
TIL packages robbed and stolen bodily
from the barn were taken there from a
late train on the night Of December 90. On
account of the hour it was not convenient
to place the valuable parcels, in a vault.
The police and detective forces are much
hampered in the pursuit of the thief in
that it is practically impossible to get
proper descriptions of the stolen goods.
1t is understood that claims have been
presented for only a part of the missing
packages, and for the present the primary
step of locating the plumber can not be
taken.
TIL detectives admit that it is obvious
that the robbery was committed by some
one who had familiarized himself
thoroughly with the situation. He probably
followed the wagon load of express pack
ages into the barA and remained con-
cealed there until late enough to begin
operations.
The express companies which turned the
goods over to the Omaha Van and Storage
company for delivery are not, they claim,
disturbed about the affair. They are Sc
cured against loss by the delivery company

Stroud Offers
to Remove Snow
Will Clean All the Streets if City
Will Supply the Horses
Only.

The glacial deposits which so long ago
began to bury the streets of Omaha can
be removed at the rate Of 5000 cubic yards
a day If the city will furnish teams to OPP
crate the wagons and machinery.
Stroud & Co., vehicle and implement man
ufacturers, ave offered the city the serv-
ice of wagons enough to haul 1900 loads a
day, and enough machinery and men to
load the icy covering. The city street de-
will be asked to furnish the
horses to operate the machinery, which in
cludes the dray wagons and elevatlng grad
ers to hoist the loads. Foremen to handle
the machines will also be furnished by the
company.
Colonel stroud's proposition does not in
volve the promise 20 have the snow stop
railing nor clean the streets every time V
does fall.
Mayor Dahlman and Street COMMISSIONS
Flynn say they will c~ogitate on the matter
before announcing their decision.

Howard K. Clover;
Does That Name
Sound Familiar?
1t Does to Many 0mahans, Who
Will Be Interested to Know
of His Plight.

United States Commissioner Gustave
Anderson has received a mmon from the
United States district court for the north
ern district of California to appear in
San Francisco as a witness for the govern
ment in the case of the United States
against Howard X. Glover, under arrest
there for impersonating an officer of the
United States navy.
A person of the name Of Howard X.
Glover appeared in Omaha about ten years
ago and announced that he was an officer
of the navy, but not then on active duty,
and proceeded to interest a number of
Omaha people in the establishment of the
Omaha Gas Engine and Motor company.
Clover was a handsome fellow and a fine
talker and had little trouble In getting his
company organized, with Omaha lncorpo-
rators and to sell stock in the enterprise.
He presented, what seemed unquestioned
credentials that he was what he pretended
to be and sailed high. He claimed also
10 be a relative of Commodore Glover, the
American naval attache to the ministry of
the Court of st. James.
After a while Glover disappeared and the
company he had floated and stocked to
the financial discomfort of several
Omahans collapsed.
Glover was arrested in San Francisco
several months ago on the charge Of
swindling and im~personating an officer of
the navy, but 1t has been extremely diff
cult to secure tangible evidence against
him. This is Omaha's first news of him
in ten years.
In addition to Judge Anderson, G.. A.
L%indquist of Omaha is also as
a witness for the government.

upon The Ethics of the Real Estate Busi-

Mr.. Harrison went into question of the
sale by one agent of property advertised
by another. Reference was made to the
Missouri law. which makes it o misde-
meanor for an agent to offer property for
sale unless ne has a written contract from
the owner Of the property to make such
sale.
The address brought out a lively discus
ion, particularly upon the relation OF
he agent to the principal. The subject OF

sNOWBoUND SOMEWHERE IN WEST
Union Pacific IL Now ConJuring with
the Problem and May Decide to
Take Train OFF Schedule
for IA while. .

The Los Angeles Limited the crack
Union Pacific flyer between Omaha and
he Pacific coast, is locked up for thirty
days.
Following advices from salt Lake City
that the palatial train is storm-bound
somewhere in the Utah-Nevada country,
local railroad officials are trying to- solve
the difficulty by routing passengers on the
new San Francisco Limited and probably
will issue ar order cancelling the Los
Angeles Limited for a month.
Monday and Tuesday night at Union
station passengers and depot employees
waited for the train that never came. Then
there came word that the Los Angeles
flyer was lost south Of Salt Lake City, and
was tied up by storms. Whether there
were any Omaha people on the train Is
not known. 3
Wednesday morning word reached the
city that probably no trains would be run
over the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Sal
Lake road for thirty days owing to wash
outs. Bridges are reported out and many
miles of track unsafe. All trains are ma
rooned. The Salt Lake route carries the
onion Pacific train from the Mormon city
to Los Angeles.
During the tieup arrangements have been
made to transfer all westward bound pas
sensers TO the Southern Pacific at Ogden
carrying them thence to California.

BOGUS BUTTER IS SEIZED
Seventeen Barrels Found by Revenue
Agent John F. Reed.
SEIZURE MADE AT SIOUX CITY
Consignment of 5000 Pounds Sent 20
the blue valley Creamery Conn
pRny by a BrOker Located
I'm st. Joseph, Mo.

Government officials have just seized
seventeen barrels of alleged butter.
John +. Reed. government revenue- agent
for the Nebraska-Iowa district; has Just
returned from Sioux City, where he made
a seizure Of seventeen barrels OF alleged
butter. amounting to over 5000 pounds, from
the Blue Valley Creamery y Of that
city.
The butter was consigned to the Sioux
City concern by Henry J. Mueller, a butter
broker Of st. Joseph, Mo.
A preliminary examination of the butter
shows that 1t contains a large percentage
OF foreign fat and that it comes under the
head Of colored oleomargarine. Samples
from each barrel OF the butter were sent
to Washington today for complete analysis.
Til seizure was made under the law that
the goods are forfeitable for not being
stamped as colofed oleomargarlne. Mueller,
the alleged manufacturer, is liable to a
heavy fine for manufacturing oleomargar-
inc without paying the special tax and for
putting the product on the market illegally.
The complaint lies against the st. Jo-
seph broker and not against the Blue
Valley Creamery company at Sioux City,
although the seizure and confiscation of
the butter was made from the Sioux City
establishment.
II appears that the Sioux City concern
is an. innocent purchaser Of the butter,
having bought It for the purpose of re-
manufacture into legitimate process butter,
and presumed it to be genuine butter.
The discovery Of the fraudulent char
acter Of the butter was made by Revenue
Agent Reed, who happened to be in Sioux
City, and was on a visit to the Blue Val
ley Creamery company, when the c%onsign-
ment of butter arrived from st. Joseph.
From long experince he was at once en-
abled to detect the fraudulent character Of
the stuff, and made immediate seizure.
