YEGGMEN NOT UP TO DATE.
Convention Will Have to Consider
Snag Put in the Way by the
Latest Bank Devices.
U. S. NATIONAL A SAMPLE

When the Brotherhood of Bank
Burglars and United Yegsmen OF the
World hold their annual convention this
year one OF the subjects discussed, no
doubt, will be the growing difficulties Of
the profession.
''Nitroglycerin Nat may. perchance,
read n paper on this topic, pointing out
the practical impossibility of making an
honest living robbing banks nowadays
and deploring the slowness of the pro
tesh" in keeping up with the improve
ments made in modern bank vaults.
In this connection Nat will probably
call his pals attention TO the vault now
being installed is the new United States
National Bank building. Omaha.
Here is vault built Of steel and con
crete OF such thickness and strength as
to discourage the most optimistic burglar.
The vault room has walls of concrete.
reinforced with steel in meshes, the walls
being eighteen inches thick. Inside this
are steel plates several inches thick in
three layers. the middle layer being
manganese steel. which cannot be bored
by any tool known today.
Eight Manganese Safes.
The vault is divided into two parts by
row Of vertical steel bars. In the inner
rart Of the vault behind these bars will
stand eight safes. made of manganese
steel. Each Of these weighs four tons.
They will be used to contain the cur
rency.
Presenting the very unlikely thing that
any member of the United Yeggmen
should ever penetrate thus far, he would
be confronted with the important but I'M
solvable question. which of these safes
contains the COS and 50s and which is
Just cluttered up with 1s or rs
In this part of the vault will be also
the boxes for storing silver and gold.
The outer part OF the vault will con-
tain 200 safety deposit boxes to be
rented to the public.
The total weight of steel i'm the vault
will be $4,000 pounds The door alone
(which was standing on the street several
days last week.. weighs 10000 pounds.
Yet this enormous weight (about equal
to the weight of SEQ mem will be so per-
fectly balanced upon its hinges that one
man will he able 10 open or close it
easily.
This door is controlled by time lock.
At the back of the vault will be a small
emergency door," just big enough to
admit the body OF a man This small
door will weigh 5000 pounds.
And so, "Nitroglycerin Nat may well
address the respondent gathering OF his
fellows and mourn the happy days gone
by when bank safes flew open in easy
response to a bit OF soup" poured in
the crack OF the door.
He may well mourn the injustice OF the

Twenty wears after the Civil war Grant while
on his dying bed said: "The greatest general

take Grant twenty years to realize tne srea'hess
of Lee: he had been brought to a full reahzatioh
of tbis fact early in May 1864. when their armies
met in the Wilderness.
On the thirtieth of May. in 1864 the attention
of the people both in the North and the South
was centered on this one man. Note the situa-
ton or rather the events Of the preceding year
which had led up to this situation. On the thir-
tieth of May 1868. the Army of Northern Wiz
ginia, under command Of Lee, was on Its marcn
to invade Pennsylvania few days later the
Union soldiers gained two Of the most important
victories of the war. at Vicksburg. one at
Gettysburg.
On this thirtieth of May find Lee still keep
ing guard of Richmond. Grant, who soon after
his victory at Vicksburg had been called to
Washington, had been appointed lieutenant gen.
eraI of the Union army. "On to Richmond" had
at once become the war cry of his soldiers With
in the month Of May Grants army had been re-
pulsed three times by the Army Of Northern Vir-
ginia-at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania. North

result Lee still keeping guard. The word re-

On the thirtieth of May, in 1865. the war for

Few Sailors Row or Swim.

A survivor from one of the tor,
pedoed ships says: I'VE had no men
in our boat who could row. I had nev-
er rowed boat before, but I can do
SO now" The smallness of the num-
ber of men in our mercantile marine
who can handle a rowboat would
surprise the majority of people. and
those who can handle a sail are an
even smaller band. They get almost
no opportunity of learning. As for
swimming, very few are experts. and
battalions of them cannot swim a
stroke. Just last summer I sailed

confident Their president was trained soldier.
He had studied at West Point. and had had ex-

1t is n. wonder that the people of the South
received the announcement of Lincoln's call for

This the third of April. BY the thirteth

been realized by the people both in the North
and in the South the thirtieth of May in 1863 for
at that time there were pending two events, eth.

people of the north were hoping that their sol.

doubts in their minds. Grant had not as yet
gained the confidence of the Union people.
Within the three weeks Immediately preceding
this thirtieth of May the Union forces had been
gaining series of victories Vicksburg
Grant had defeated Joe" Johnston at Jackson
and had placed Union troops in charge of that
city. He had defeated Pemberton both at Cham.
pions Hill and at Big Black river. Pemberton
cut off from communication with Johnston

inhabitants were Just beginning to be
subjected to the horrible experiences
of continual bombardment and starva-
ton, which lasted until the Fourth OF
July, when the city surrendered. Caves
were dug in the ground for the protec-
tion of the women and children, and
food became so scarce that rats were
sold in the butchers shops.
While on this thirtieth of May the
people throughout the country were
watching with interest the develop
ments of the siege at Vicksburg, their
chief interest must have been centered
on the movements of the armies in
Maryland and Virginia. Since the last
thirtieth of May these armies had met
at Antietam, at Fredericksburg and at
Charlottesville. Thousands of soldiers
from both the North and the South had
fallen in these battles. Only 25 days
had passed since the battle at Chancel-

people who will take part in the strew-
ing of flowers on soldiers graves are
not veterans who fought in the Civil
war. To those who are old enough to
remember the war, its memories have

sight To those who are not old enough
to remember the war, its events are
only matters of history. But to the
old soldier Memorial day is a day of
reflection and meditation. He will be

probability, was to him an eventful
day. Possibly he may remember some
event that took place on each thirtieth

back in those old days, and begin with
the first thirtieth of May in the Civil
war. 1t was "a years ago.
