One hundred young men, members

A double-T table had been arranged

The happy, hungry crowd piled

Attempt Made to Assassinate
Two Of Principals in Police
Investigation; Car Rid
died With Bullets.

Omaha gunner, unknown to the
police, attempted TO murder Charles
w. Pipkin and Harve. Wolf, of the
Omaha Detective association, Satur-
day night. They escaped, leaving no
clue TO their indentty.
Five shots were fired. Three bull
lets )re their way through the ma
chine in which Pipkin was sitting
when the would-be assassins speeded
past i'll another car.
Pipkin and Wolf had been riding
about town earlier in the evening and
had short while before the shooting
pulled up in front of. .the Royal apart
ments, Twenty-seventh and Farnam
streets, where Wolf lives. Wolf had
gotten out of the car and was leaning
on the side OF it talking to Pipkin,
who was seated at the steering wheel.
The car was facing south i'll Twenty
seventh Street.
Fired Point Blank.
According to Pipkin, they did not
hear the other car approaching until
it started to speed up about fifty
yards behind them. Almost stimuli
taneously they heard a shout form
one of the men i'll the car and then a
shot. The bullet passed directly over
the seat Wolf had just left and
crashed through the base of the wind
shield, shattering the glass.
Before the men realized what was
taking place, the machine was upon
them and four more shots were fired
point blank at Pipkin and Wolf.
One of the bullets pierced the hood
of the car and passing through it
narrowly missed Pipkin's leg. The
bullet could not be found in the car.
Another bullet hit the side door of
the car, and, glancinR off, dented the
rear guard.
The machine carrying the gunner
turned west in Harney street at such
a terrific rate of speed that only two
of the wheels held the ground. 1t
was seen to turn at Twenty-ninth
street, where it disappeared.
When it was turning the corner
Pipkin jumped from the machine and
he and Wolf returned the fire. Each
of the men shot three times at the
fleeing car. Pipkin said he thought
at least one OF the shots took effect.
He says he heard one Of the men in
the car cry out.
Witnesses to the shooting declare
that there were no lights on the car
from which the shots came. Several
persons, say that it was a Buick.
Neither Pipkin nor Wolf were able
to distinguish the voice that came
from one of the men just prior to the
first shot. Both said there were three
men in the car.

MAILS HELD Up
UNDER ORDER At
c. B. terminal
Statement Shows That En-
barge Still Holds Good Even
Against the Daily
Papers.

Embargo laid on mails by the
Postofice department is not ended,
as was supposed,
Also, while congress is threaten
ing to increase the rate of postage
on newspapers to a prohibitivc point,
the postotfice department is instruct
ing railway mail clerks to delay the
delivery OF daily newspapers entrusted
to the mails.
Moreover, government official mail
is held up through the same means,
even such all important matter as the
referring to the draft registration be-
ing delayed by the orders in force
until after the draft was over.
Statement From Clerk.
One of the men high in the local
service, whose name must be sup
pressed for obvious reasons, gives The
Bee this statement:
June II an article appeared in
all Omaha paper in regard of the
economy of the railway mail service.
This article reads very good, cspe-
cially TO those who do not under
stand the true conditions as they arc.
Why is it that concerns that do all
the way from $4,000 TO $4,000
worth OF advertising a year have
tried their best 10 get relief. from the
Postoftce department on account of
the delay of their advertising mat
teri Why is il that advertising from
the Postofiicc itself, mailed at WASH
ington for States in the west, were
handled in the Council Bluffs
terminal as late as June y, this
matter containing instructions to the
county clerks and sheriffs of the
western states in regard to registra-
ton day? This will hardly have
reached their destination in time to
do any good.
Answers Superintendent.
"Mr. Johnston, the superintendent
challenges any one to show where
there has been such delay. Of course
it is possible, that can be done, but
not probable, as that employee would
lust lay himself open to suspicion
and that is what Mr. Johnston is al
ter. The public, no doubt, is easily
won over TO the thinking OF the de-
partment when articles appear that
read like the one which appeared in
the Omaha paper, but when the
actual facts are known they hardly
believe it when it is told them.
Furthermore ii says, no piece OF
mail is in the Terminal more than a
hours Why is it necessary to have it
in the terminal that long, when there
are trains that can handle this mail
gong out west before the twenty
four hours are up? Again | say that
| know personally that some mail is
in the terminal as long as forty-cight
hours and more, and if the public
had access to the terminal no doubt
they could find mail more than
twenty-four hours old, any time of
the day.
"As far as daily papers are con-
Cerncd | am attaching an official let
ter which | wish you to print in con-
ncctIon with this, by this the public
can see that the daily papers are not
given so much consideration as the de-
partment claims"

ELkS PAY Their
RESPECTS TO OLD
GLORY At PARK
Picturesque Military Affair at
HansCom Park Attended by
Thousands of Omaha
People.

"Whcn power tramples upon the
common instincts of humanity, it is
time for humanity to protest. For
centuries the rights of neutrals and
non-combatatus have been recognized
and yet the kaiser fires on all with
submarines, recognizing neither age,
sex nor nationality" stated Frederick
Shepherd of Lincoln, addressing a
large gathering Sunday afternoon i'll
Hanscom park, where Omaha Lodge
of ElkS held their annual flag day
exercises.
Frequent applause greeted the ex-
pressions of the Lincoln man, who
was speaker of the day. Sunshine,
martial music, khaki-clad columns of
soldiers, flags, flowers, veterans of 81
and a chorus OF male singers con-
tributed to the success of the occasion.
Old Glory Makes Heart Beat.
During his patriotic address Mr..
Shepherd said;
Every 'man's heart beats a little
faster when his eyes behold the flag
OF his country We love our national
emblem because it was borne aloft in
the first instance to represent free
people. To the timd it extends an in
vitation to the land OF equality and
opportunity. Our flag has been a pill
lar Of cloud by day and a pillar OF fire
by night to the American people. 1t
led the way through stress and storm
during the revolution. 1t will continue
TO go on to victory on the battlehelds
across the seas.
Must Be All American.
"In the main the Germans of the
United States have been good citizens
and have followed the flag in all that
the words imply. I want to prophecy
that when this war is over and the
record has been read, a full COM
plemcnt of young Germans Of this
country will have fought on the west
crn front for liberty and America. We
are at war with the Germany across
the seas, with the Germany that ex-
cuscs indiscriminatc destruction on
the plea that the end justies tho
means. There is room no longer in
