LINCOLN, Jan. 2s.-(Special.)-A rob-
berry was pulled off in Lincoln Sunday
which all the victims have been trying
strenuously to keep from the public. Dur
ing the regular services at Holy Trinity
Episcopal church some miscreant entered
the robing room and went through the
wraps and coats Of the choir members,
which had been left in the room while
the choir was performing its duties and
took every cent of money the members
had brought with them. .
When the choir was ready TO go home
the theft was discovered, and 1t was as
certalned there was not the price OF a
single car fare in the entire party. As
the congregation had departed before the
facts were known there was nothing TO
It for the victims but to hoof It for their
homes. outside OF the money nothing was
taken except a meal ticket good for two
weeks feed belonging to one OF the. party
and from which he had benefited TO the
extent of one meal only. Up TO the pres-

LINCOLN, Jan. 22-(Special From a
Staff THE story printed
: in The Bee this morning. concerning the
course pursued by the Lincoln Star and
the motive therefore. has started tongues
wagging and people are beginning to tell
what they know about the affair Some,
who pretend TO know, put the date of the
declaration OF democracy on the part
OF the Star at time Immediately afttr
the primary. This story is told with such
circumstance as to lend credence to the
report. and would also bear out the
statement that the principal La Toilette
boomer in the state has no hope of
carrying the primary, but is simply enl
gagged in the work of disrupting the re-
publicans as far as possible. There are
those who pretend to know who say the

holders into the company, all of whom
are democrats. and actively interested

Just what brand of democracy the pa
per will espouse appears to be more
absorbing topic than the question of its
democracy. Some think. this being
brand, but others. who pretend to know
who the new stockholders will be, in
sist 1t is to be Harmon. Color is lent to
this view by the personnel OF several
conferences which have been held recently
in Lincoln. This feature Of the affair, of
course. is of no interest to republicans,
but the well defined and circumstantial
stories of the proposed change should be
enough to warn republicans against fol-
lowing headlong a leadership which is
greer suspicion of sailing under false
coloTB.

-FOUR TRIPS ARE
PLANNED JULY a
FOR MOTORISTS
Some Delightful Weekend
Journeys Outlined for the
Capital Tourists.

This year the first week in July offers
one of the best opportunities for
weekend vacation, the national holi-
day coming on Thursday, permitting a
four-day outing and getting back to the
office again. Monday morning.
When the opportunity for the week.
end tour arrives. almost the first ques-
ton asked is, Where shall we go?'
Delightful as Washington with its i'm
mediate environs, is from a motoring
standpoint, due to the smooth streets
and highways, the tourist once out of
sight of the Capitol, does not encounter
roads which are overly attractive and
runs of two, three, or four days must
needs be selected with much care.
Tour No. 1 has Staunton, Va, as its
objective point, and includes much ter
ritory over which the Federal and Con-
federate armies fought valiantly during
the rebellion. The first days trip Is to
Gettysburg. 79.5 miles, via Frederick
46;6 miles, and Emmittsburg, 6S.5 miles.
The second day takes the, tourists
across the glorious Blue Ridge by way Of
Buena Vista and Pen Mar, 20 to % miles,
to Hagerstown, Go miles. This route
may be varied by returning via En-
mittsburg although the mountain trip
is by far the more scenic. The third
day sees the tourist bowling down the
famed Shenandoah valley to Staunton,
1852 miles, stopping en- route at his
toric Winchester, AZ miles. On the
fourth day the return trip to Washing
ton would cover 1881 miles, driving
down the valley to Winchester and
then across to the Capital.
Tour No. 2 covers some of the same
ground, having that shrine of Ameri-
can patriotism. the Gettysburg battle
field, as one Of its chief attractions.
The first days route would include Bal
timore, Havre de Grace, Bel Air. and
Towson, the latter the night stop The
next days ride will take the tourists
up into the beautiful Cumberland valley
to Gettysburg via York, and then on 10
Hagerstown. The third days journey
will include an easy ride through Win

F. EMPOWERS RANKED

OF TIRE TRADE
The Goodyear Business in
This City Increases Un-

Having been connected with the Good
year Tire and Rubber Company, Akron,
Ohio In various capacities FOR period
of eight years, F. w. Powers, man
ager of the Goodyear branch here, may
be ranked among the pioneers of the
automobile tire trade. He Joined the
company in st. Louis as cashier Of the
branch house there, remaining until
October, 1910. when he was promoted to
the management of the Washington
branch. The Goodyear company was
the first to establish a branch house
here, and Mr.. Powers success has been
pronounced.
Under his management the business
has grown to such proportions that
larger quarters have become necessary,
and in August the company will open
it's new building at 1914 Fourteenth
street, which has been under construc-
tion for several months. Mr.. Powers 10

No New Everitt Models
Are Contemplated

In connection with the recent changes
In the. fortunes OF the Everitt Motor
Car Company, through the alliance Of
what is known in automobile trade cir
cles as the Flanders group, many weird
tales have been circulated, some OF
which were true and others which have
been mischievous in their effect.
In speaking OF this. Sales Manager
Paul Smith. of the Everitt company.
said:
mo little CONSERVATION has been
caused by the report that new Everitt
models were to come out within a short
time to take the place OF the present
30 and 36. ] wish to make an emphatic
denial of this. No new models are con-
templated nor any changes even in the
slightest will be made, either in the me-
chanical features, prices, or in any
other way. No other cars enjoy greater
popularity than the Everitt 30s and 36's.
and they have proven so uniformly
satisfactory to buyers that our engi-
neers could find no opportunity for i'm.
provefnent. Therefore, no logical rea-
son for any change save such little per-
fectlons as have recently been made
and are embodied in the cars now be-
ing delivered.
THE advent Of the Flanders group in
the Everltt company simply means that
the capital has been increased from
81. .Oo0. 900 to $4,000 and this means
three times the factory capacity and
three times the output"
