CHILDREN TAKEN AWAY
FROM HOME OF MOTHER
Two Boys of Mrs. Joe Wright Taken
In Charge by Officers After
Hearing in Juvenile Court,

Two bright boys, one and the other
about years old, were yesterday taken
from the custody OF their mother, Mrs.
the Creche by order Of Judge Snyder OF the
juvenile court. The action was taken fol-
lowing a personal investigation of the en-
vironment OF the children by Chief OF Pc
lice Froom and Probation officer HerneF,
who found IL to be so bad that the children
were taken away at once and brought here,
pending the hearing in Juvenile court yes
terday morning.
Several days ago a petition signed by
nearly all the residents Of East Omaha was
received by Chief Froom asking him 70
have the children taken from their un-
wholesome surroundings and the resort
kept by their mother and other women
broken up. The personal investigation
showed that the children we're kept in an
old apartment house on the north side OF
Locust street in small and wretched quar-
ters in which we're living also Mrs, Cum
stock and her daughter Mrs. Butler, who
lived in an open air camp near the Illinois
Central bridge for several months last
summer until the police forced them tC
leave the city. They went across the river
and took up quarters in the old apartment
house.
It was shown that Mrs. Wright although
IS years Of age, was IN the habit Of dressing
In Juvenile clothes and playing skillfulIy
the part of q forward young girl, III,
children will be kept at the Creohe unit
properly disposed Of.

Put Under Arrest
Young Men Brought Into Court with
Proof They Have Been Sys-
tematically at Work.

Detective j. c. Wizard Of the Union Pa
oific secret service succeeded yesterday
in breaking up one of the numerous gangs
of car looters that operate in the rail-
road yards of the city when he brought
Louis EtherinEton, 10 years old, and
Reina De Caste. an italian, aged 20 years,
into the Council Bluffs police court yes
terday, with proof that they had been
systematically robbing cars at the Union
Pacific transfer freight platform, where
both have been employed
Etherington was placed under arrest
several days ago and held at the police
station. He made a full confession and
gave the names Of two others who were
likewise implicated, and told where a lot
of the stolen stuff could be found. In
company with Detective Callaghan viz
Eard went TO the home Of a man EN-
ployod in the Union Pscifio baggage de-
partment, who lives at 1899 Seventh ave-
nue., where the two young men board. In
their rooms were found q lot OF new sill
verwRTe, mostly knives and forks, cloth
ing, shirts, shoes and edd articles, and
other stuff. which had been reported
missing from a car recently reloaded at
the transfer for shipment eastward The
inquiry disclosed the fact that another
Italian, Francisco ChiaudusL who had
| rOomed there and was likewise a Union
Pacific employe. had left for italy sew
eral days ago, taking with him several
grips. which are believed to have been
filled with stolen goods.
The stolen articles came from various
| shipments and represented many petty
| peculations, and as the available proof was
/ insufficient that any single raid yielded
enough plumber 70 constitute grand larceny
the men could only be convicted OF simple
/ larceny. Etherington was fined SIS and
costs and De Caste $50. To pay their
fines the men gave orders on the com
I pany for their last months pay checks.

TWO WHITE STEAMERS
BURN WITH GARAGE
John O, BrleF Loses Valuable Prep
eFty which Was InsufficientIy
Injured.


A barn on the premises OF John O, Erler,
2SO5 Avenue A, used as an automobile
garage, was totally destroyed by fire about
o'clock yesterday morning. Included in
the destruction were two fine White
steamer automobiles used by Mr.. Erler for
livery purposes. But little was left OF
them except the metal parts.
The origin OF the fire is unknown. The
only explanation Mr.. Erler can give is that
the oil burner on the machine he used late
or the preceding night was not fully ex-
tinguished when he shut off the supply OF
fuel OIL, and that the flame in some manner
ignited gasoline fumes. When the fire
was discovered the whole interior was
ablsze. The firemeB responded quickly to
the telephone alarm, but the building was
practically destroyed when they arrived.
The loss Is a grievous one to Mr.. Erler
as he carried only 5000 OF insurance and
each Of the machines cost nearly that
amount The accident is almost a repro
ductiOn OF the one that destroyed a new
White steamer and a garage belonging to
c. 8 Goodrich two years ago. MI Erler
bought the two machines from Mr.. Good
rich and was making his living by their
use.

The advancement in educational affairs
Is so quiet and so little observed that the
extent of a decade Of progress almost
amazes when the facts are set in array.
Ten years ago we had s17, 1900 invested In
school buildings and grounds; today we
have over S27,OOOO0O thus invested. Ten
years ago we had 1900 volumes In public
school libraries; today we have over 1000 900
volumes Ten years ago we had ninety
nine standards for county teachers certifl-
Gates and no certificate had any value out
side the county OF its issue; today we have
one standard, the certificate Is Of longer
life and it Is valid In every county Of the
state. Ten years ago professional training
OF teachers I'm the colleges OF Iowa was
almost unknown; today strong departments
OF education are maintained I'm all our
standard colleges. Ten years ago we had
hi fully accredited high schools today we
have 1873 And finally, and best OF all,
the salaries paid the public school teachers
Of Iowa for the last year aggregated 81, 1856,
g17 or So 72s, s95 more than for the year
1900 All this increase is the more remark
able when II Is remembered that there arc,
as shown by the returns Of the school
secretaries fewer children enrolled In the

ago

Fire that caught in some unknown man

stock Of the Peterson Bondo company, oc-

The fire was discovered at $50 and when
the firemen arrived smoke was pouring
rom the front basement windows. The
ireinen were led to believe that the smoke
came from a pile Of burning boxes in the
basement and directed several streams
upon It for twenty minutes without lessen

were broken in and control quickly gained.

II Was Impossible lOE tdTh commissioner
Frank Peterson, tho chief owner Of the

but he thought 1t would approximate be-
| tween 5000 and $4,000 The store had been
operated for many years by Mr. Peterson
until last spring, when the name Of the
firm was changed to the Peterson Bondo
company. About month ago the dry
| goods stock was traded to Henry Peterson
| TOR an $500 farm and he retained owner
ship OF the stock with the exception of
about 500 worth of goods which came in
on orders since the sale. The Peterson
/ BOndo company had insurance to the
amount Of $500 on the entire stock, which
! mad not been transferred since the sale OF
the dry goods. Henry Peterson could not
| be- seen last evening, but Park Commits

since It passed into his ownership, The
! building is well protected by insurance, but

Mr. Peterson has no theory to account
for the origin OF the fire unless it caught
from a gas Jet LEFT burning in the cellar
He left the store at o'clock, but did not
so into the basement before leaving tor

ing left open to Ralph Hoyt of Port
land and T. B. Kay of Salem.
Some of the other candidates will
wake up to the fact Monday morning
that they are no longer candidates.
and that their names will not be put
upon the primary nominating ballot
Hugh McLain of Marshfield, candidate
for state railroad commissioner is one
of the candidates to lose out. 1t was
ascertained by Chief Clerk Corey that

100 signatures and two precincts in
Clackamas county, missing. McLain is
the candidate who stated that he de-
sired to emulate Oswald West.
: Claude r. Seager of Lakeview, who
filed his petition as candidate for the
legislature from the Twenty-first dis
trict, stated that his district included
klamath, Lake and Crook counties,
entirely ignoring Grant county, and
for this reason he is not eligible to APP
pear on the ballot as a candidate.
The petition of F. M. Gill, of Hood

ceived. He wishes to be state represen-
tative.
