about camp for couple OF days, until
the Old Man ran up from the Junction

quit the previous week and gone up
to Daleheld 10 work In the ninss, and

And when the results were not what
they should be, he was not at all
backward in saying so.
But for Nerves. the Old Mans
visit proved q period Of uaslloyed
Joy, for he succeeded in attracting the
attention Of the Old Mans daughter,
and their acquaintance grew quickly
into a kindly interest on her part and
a dog-like devotion on his. After that,
German, who was really too busy TO
notice anything not connected with
his work, gave hing kindly word In
passing and even put a stop to Nix

ATHLETES NOT SHORT LIVED
Yale Director Finds Them safer
Risks Than the NonathIetic
Brother.

In answer TO the query. DO Athletes
Die Young3" Or. William O. Anderson.
director Of the Yale university gym
nasium, made the statement TO the Yale
Daily News that his data and statistics
show concluslvely that the athelete Is
not short lived. Dr. Anderson said In
part:
"The question has often been asked
in these days Of the prominence Of college
sports Is the college athelete a sounder
man In after years and man Of longer
life than his non-athletic brother? II
is a generally accepted fact that some
form Of exercise or athletic sport Is
necessary for the proper development OF
tho growing human body. Statistics prove
beyond a doubt that the man, in college
or out Of 1t, is better for consistent
exercise Of some sort. But II is not 50
certain that the man whose enthusiasm
for and proficiency In some sport brings
him to the highest recognition In his col
lege is correspondingly benefited.
at one time l made a study OF the
mortuary data collected by the secretary
Of Yale university, my object being to
ascertain whether the " man In the
four major sports was shorter or longer
lived than the on-athlete. The'oplnion
prevails that the athlete dies before his
less active elassmate. that the predlspos-

Insurance companies look upon these
athletes as unsafe risks.
The data, which covered fifty years.
were also examined by setuaries OF large
insurance companies. who pronounced
the athlete risk safer than the non
athletes.
After an examination of all the ma
terial collected presented among other
conclusions:
The Yale athlete does not die young.
nor Is heart disease leading cause Of
death.
Lung trouble is the cause Of the great
est number Of deaths, but the percent
age OF men dying from these causes is
not greater than the expected death
among non-athletes from similar causes.

leto is no shorter lived; but I do not
state that he owed his longevity to ath-
leucs."

Dope Fiend Deceives
Doctor and RobS Him

Or. Rickard. member Of the firm Of the
German Doctors. was the victim yester-
day Of a quick-wttted and quicker
fingered sneak thief. who robbed him Of
fine diamond weighing nearly two
karats and a Colts automatic pistol The
man was subsequently, arrested and the
pistol recovered. but the diamond is still
missing.
Early yesterday afternoon a man en-
tered DR.. Richards office over the State
Savings bank and begged piteously to be
given q shot OF morphine. 1t was
clearly evident he was a pronounced
dope fIend" and the physician after
demurring finally relented and gave him
a hypodermic injection. He turned to put
away the paraphernalia used and the
thief seized the opportunity to open =
drawer In which both the diamond and
the weapon were lying and slipped them
both in his pockets without being de-
tected.
A young woman stenographer in the
room at the same time also failed TO de-
tect the sdroit act Of the thief and he
went out hastily, mumbling his thanks.
i Nc IVOptTy was uisSoNctc1 lew mo-
ments later and the police department
notified. Five minutes after the robbery
the man appeared at the Friendman
pawnshop. n block away. and tried to
pawn tho weapon.
Sam Frisndman. the proprietor. OBJ
served his condition and reaching across
the counter seized the weapon and
wrested It from him. The man then ran
out of the store and Friendman notified
the police. Some time later officer
Hardin found the man on West Broad
way and took him In custody. At the
station he was identified by DR.. Rickard
and Friendman.
The diamond was not found and he re-
fused to tell what he had done with II.
denying that he had taken II. He gave
the name Of J. f. McNear and said he
was from Wyoming. a statement partly
sustained by letters and a meal ticket
showing that he had been In Rawlins.
He was identified, however. by the
Omaha police department as Frank Man
willie Of Omaha. Omaha officers said he
was Q confirmed victim Of the drug habit
and had been frequently under arrest
there.

Defeat of Minnick
Expense to Bluffs

The immediate effect OF the defeat OF
Alderman Minniek by the voters OF the
Second ward will be to take 5000 from
the streets and alleys fund and pay u
out for salary for a man to do the worF
that Minnick and Mayor Maloney did
for nothing. There is none Of the new
members of the council situated as Mr..
Minniek was during the time he held his
thankless little office, for none has q

next two years, whose salary will absorb

public taxation to keep the streets clean.
When Street Commissioner. now Alder
man. Flood resigned two years ago some
difficulty was experienced In finding a
competent man to take his place. Whils
seeking for him Mayor Maloney and
Alderman Minniek. the latter as chairman
Of the streets and alleys committee. took
charge Of the street work. They workei
so well and smoothly together that the ex-
cellent results showed from the start and
the arrangements were continued
throughout the entire term for which
they were elected. thus saving 1900. or
1900 each year. OF the $4,000 appropri-
ated for the street work.
Much better results were obtained last
year than followed the first years work.
and II Minnick had been returned with
Mayor Maioney the next two years would
have shown still better results. When
Minniek took hold OF the work Of the
street department there was q big de.
fciency In the fund. Under the previous
administration. due largely to the heavy
expense caused by the excessive floods
and Indian creek overfiows. nearly 1900
Of the next years levy had been antici-
pated. and this deficiency had to be cared
for from the first appropriation available
for Mayor Msloney and Chairman Min
nick.
With the close Of the fiscal year to-
night there Will be q balance Of t71i In
the fund and about 500 available from
all sources. This unusual result has fol-
lowed more than an ordinary amount OF
street work accomplished throughout the
last year that has given the city the
cleanest streets II has ever had and de-
spite the additional fact that the amount
of snow hauled from the business streets
during the winter has entailed an ex-
pense fully equal to that required to re-
move the ayalanches Of Indian creek mud.

ATTACKS BILL IN WOOL DEBATE
Author of Minority Bill Assaiied as
officer of Trust.

WASHINGTON. March so-The debate
on the wool tariff revision bill In the
house today was enlivened by Represent
ative Reilly, democrat. OF Connecticut,
who sharply attacked his republican col
league Representative Hnl. author Of the
minority wool tariff measure. Mr.. Reilly
declared that Mr.. HIN was unfit to have
any hand In the framing OF such legisla-
tlon. because he was an officer In the
Norwalk woolen Mills company. and had
been for years. MIR. Hill's son, Mr..
Reilly added, was treasurer OF the com
pany.
His case Is typical of that policy of
the republican party of putting friends
OF tho interestn on the committees having
charge OF legislation affecting these in
terests," said Mr.. Reilly.
Mr.. Reilly said the Norwalk mills had
been shut down by the American Woolen
company. which he said was better
known as the wooden trust. He intimated
that the Norwalk company had been
absorbed by the trust and that its officers
had been taken care Of"
Mr.. Hlll, seated across the aisle from
Mr., Reilly, smiled throughout the attack,
but made no reply,
Chairman Underwood OF the house ways
and means committee opened the debate
by saying that in three years the tariff
board had cost the country $4,000 and
