THIEVES ARE
APPREHENDED

Caught and arrested in an hour

the robbery of the home Of Mrs. So
phia Price, 246 Ouray avenue, two
hoboes, who refuse 10 give their
names, are now in the county jail,
awaiting preliminary hearing. The
clever capture OF the miscreants is
due to the work of Henry Price, son
of Mrs. Price. and Sheriff Charles
r. Schrader.
Saturday morning about I O'Clock
the home was entered, trunks and
dressers ransacked and about sos
worth of jewelry. watches and safety
razors were secured. Henry Price
came home short while later, and,
after Investigating the loss, he at
once set out TO track the criminals.
He went to all the pawn shops,
chilli joints and chea@ restaurants.
and, finally. found where one man
had pawned watch and another had
tried to secure money on n ring.
With Sheriff Schrader he made gem
eral hunt for the men and located
them on Colorado avenue. When ap-
preached one was seen to throw away
safety razor which was recovered.
At the jail Price was attarcted by
one of the men chewing peculiarly at
his tobacco and when he was forced
to disgorge his mouthful. one of the
valuable rings taken from the Price
home was found In the tobacco.

Judge Bordwell, upon whom rests
the fate of the McNamaras, is In Sc
clusion today considering what action
he will take.
1t is said today that the prosecu-
tion had learned that nearly every
man in the jury box had been ap-
preached with reference to a verdict
in the case. 1t is asserted that pro-
ceedings in the Franklin case would
reveal at least two jurors besides
Balm and Lockwood who indirectly
accepted bribes.
Clarence Darrow said Nockels was
given complete details of the situa-
tion concerning the confessions that
he was practically the representative
of the Federation of Labor. and Dar-
row assumed that Nockles had COM
municated the details to Gompers. He
said Nockles agreed only TO the course
to save the lives of the McNamaras
and their confession.

Associated Press.
Los Angeles. Dec. 4.-Mr. Fred
ericks produced a sworn copy OF the
testimony Of Mrs Balm in which she
told OF the meeting of Franklin and
her husband in detail, stating that
Franklin came to their home on Oc-
tober G, a few days before her hus-
band was summoned on the jury.
FredeTicks said one of the other cas-
es of bribery had not been uncovered
but that the amounts in it had been
similar to the aomunts in the other
twoc ases. He said the examination
Of witnesses in the Franklin case
would reveal details of the alleged
briberies. He declared no NOR ar
rests were intended at present but
that the testimony might make it
necessary to arrest the persons on
whose orders Franklin acted.
In answer to a statement, Mrs.
Balm told how Franklin had called
her on the telephone and had called
to see her and talked with her about
her house which is bing paid for at
tn rate of SIS per month. She declar-
ed Franklin had said, 81 think | can
help you ! think / can put you and
Dbb III a DOSlNiOI " pay lpl epul III
tie home and be independent the
rest of your lives. Do you know what
| mean2" Mrs. Balm declared that
she did not know unless he wanted
Balm to do election work. She declar-
ed that Franklin then said, you
know Bob has been summoned on
the jury. Well | want him to serve
on that jury and l can mae it worth
while If he will serve. | can give
him $500. that is to have Bob quail
fy and vote for an acquittal and
there will be plenty Of testimony that
the men are innocent. so he need not
have an conscientious scruples. the
money viii be deposited and he will
receive the $500 at the end of the
trial"
Mrs. Balm said Franklin after
wards told her husband that IL would
be $3.50 but she was sure that he had
first said $500. She said she agreed
to put the proposition up to her hus-
band. She said her husband finally
agreed to accept the proposition. She
also stated that she was not at home
when Franklin called to see her hus-
band after he had agreed but that
her husband told her the rest later.
She said that later on Franklin again
saw her husband and It'd him the rest
of the fivehundred was in the bank
waiting for him when he stood pat.
Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 4-District
Attorney Fredericks said today that
information concerning the bribery of
still another sworn Juror is as well
established as in the Balm case.
Balm is a white-haired Civil war
veteran. Mr.. Fredericks said, The
defense simply could not win by fair
means because they knew we had
the right evidence which would con-
vict with fair-minded men. and
when they tried TO win by unfair
means we blocked them at every
turn, and that was why they surren-
dered. The preliminary hearing of
Franklin was continued for a week
today.

Minority Changes nrrnnin La,


California adopted eight amend
ments to its constitution this fan
and not one by a majority of its
voters. Not one OF them could mus
ter as much as one-third OF all the
qualified voters in the state. The
amendments were adopted by from
20 to 32 per cent, woman suffrage
by COS per cent, initiative aud ref
erendum by ISL per cent and the
recall by 29,7 per cent OF the total
OF 100000 voters.
Instantly one is told that 1t is not
the fault OF the minority that the
majority does not vote But most of
these eight amendments are part
of the program known as direct legis-
latiop, letting the people rule. Evi-
IDENTIFY the people Of California are
not greatly wrought up I'm anxiety
for legislation after all, or more than
bone-third of its voters would have
taken part in this election. OF
course, a man cannot be made to go
TO the polls and vote That is ex-
actly why these newer devices can
not be expected to work as faultlessly
as its exponents represent. They In
themselves contain no more Inherent
power OF driving the majority to
vote and 10 vote intelligentiy than the
OLD system.

var on the Tipping Nnisanee.


II the commercial travellers Of this
country really do go after the tipping
system with all the power they pos
sess they can nearly, if not entirely,
destroy II. Their national president
ayows his determination TO rally the
organization 10 an assault upon this
graft, which, no says foots up
$5O,0OO,O0O a year in the United
States. II those figures even ap-
proximate the facts, tipping is more
than a nuisance to individuals, II is
an enormous tax upon business that
should not be tolerated. II has made
parasites, not only OF a horde of ser
wants, but of certain lines of business.
which thus, through underpaid en-
ployes, prey upon other businesses.
Tipping might find some plausibil-
ity II II amounted only to gratuities
to a faithful servant seeking to
please, but everybody knows that It
goes far beyond this. The tip is more
often given, not for extra service,
but to get any kind of service at all
Hotels and the arrangements Of
sleeping and dining cars on railroads
long ago OWNED the profitable possi-
billties of American false pride and
leveled their employees wages down
to the place where, to get living,
the employees would have to depend
upon what they could extort from the
patrons OF the place or railroad So
that the system Of tipping under these
conditions is simply the overcharged
and undeserved patron paying a
part--and probably the larger part
OF the servants wages, all of which
should be paid by the employer. When
a man will stand for this outrage he
Is set down as a good fellow" and
when he will not he is sneered at
as cheap skate" or "tightwad."
1t is not surprising that CONNER
cial travellers think of organizing a
united attack upon tipping The sur
prise is that they have not done so
long years ago. They practically live
ION the road" in hotels and trains a
good part of the year. That sort OF
life is hard at best. To make the
most of it they pay tips that they
may obtain living existence, so to
speak.
The commercial travellers can de-
stroy the tip If they will. They can
get no-tip hotels when they unitedly
demand them and they can get, at
least. some improvement In condi-
tions even from the sleeping car
company. If they succeed they will
have the thanks of everyone who
ever travels away from home.

Good Tnrn for the Settlers.

The ruling Of the secretary OF the
interior which permits settlers to
give up what land they cannot culti-
yato without forfeiting their entire
claim, letting their installment pay
ments UP to date fall back and apply
on the tract retained, should prove a
genuine boon, not only to the settler,
but to the government, as II is in
terested in western development. It
seems manlfestly wrong to cause a
man who. for instance, has fled
upon quarter section and is unable
TO hold and cultivate that much to
lose the full claim, his right and
what he has paid out. only because
later his resources will not enable
him to handle the full 100 acres. Not
only does this relieve and help this
one claimant, but II makes room for
other settlers and should thus slim
rlate colonization, settling UP the
country faster. Then there is the
big element OF intensive farming.
Cut down the area of each man g
land to what he can personally culti-
vate and we instantly promote a bet
ter line OF husbandry, which is one
of the chief objects sought now by
public and private enterprises. It is
also one OF the most desired ways
We have OF getting back to the
soil" The highest state Of oultlva-
tion is found where the owner OF the
land works It himself. and that is
never the case, of course, when the
owner has so much land he cannot
work It himself, 1t is important,
therefore, that the government
should do it's best in this and other
ways TO promote these great ends in
agriculture.

Although the lists will not be
formally opened for two months, peo-
pie are beginning to look around for
the right men to start of Omaha's
new commission plan OF government,
and would-be commissioners are
sprouting like spring weeds. The
chief trouble sure to be encountered
is due to the fact that the men who
push themselves are not necessarily
the best qualified or the most de-
serving, while the men who would
make most creditable commissioners
often either have to be drafted. or re-
fuse to enter the public service on
any terms
The seven commissioners who are
to administer the municipal affairs
OF Omaha for three years, beginning
next May, will correspond to a com-
bined board of directors and execu-
tive committee OF a great business
establishment. The city of Omaha
Is a corporation representing more
than $150.OOO,OOO worth of prop
orty, with revenues and disburse-
ments varying from $1,5OO,OOO to
$4,000, 900 a year. It's activities are
varied and manifold: II is not an in
stitution 70 be run for profit, but for
the cooperative benefit of all of the
Inhabitants. The people, as share
holders, are assessed in the form of
taxes, and draw dividends In the
form of municipal service. The peo-
pie, naturally want the biggest dlvi-
dends and the smallest assessment to
be brought about by economic and
efficient management.
In view OF the magnitude Of the
Job, It devolves upon the sharehold-
ers OF this municipal corporation to
hire the best executive direction they
chn, command The place of COM
missioner should not go to a man
merely because he wants II and needs
the money. That is not the way a

Room Outside the Trusts

The evidence that the trusts" are
not having things all their own way is
increasing. The census figures show that
during the decade the population of the
country increased q per cent the gain in
the number OF farms was 10 per cent, and
the gain in improved agricultural area
was 10 per cent. while the gain in the
number of manufacturing establishments
was "a per cent. In view of the fact that
the increase in the number OF manufac-
turing establishments is greater than the
growth Of population, It Is ABSURD to talk
about the small concerns being driven
out Of business.
