last night at the Omaha Athletic

included members of the club and
their ladies'. T. c. Byrne introduced
the senator, who devoted MS time to
consideration of the league of ma
tons and the events leading up to
the conference now being held in
Paris.
"Unless something is done to pre-
vent it," he said, "the nations are 60

whether something can be done to

The scarcity of labof and high
cost of materials were named as the
chief causes for increased prices,
with the high cost of living in gen.

United States Marshal Lies in
Wait for Truck Driver at
Freight House; CON-
panion Escapes.

Five barrels of whisky were seized
and Harry Con1ey, driver for the
Foley Auto Delivery company,
Omaha, was arrested late yesterday
afternoon in Council Bluffs. The
arrest was made by Deputy United
States Marshal Fred Shoemaker.
The whisky is in pint bottles
packed in barrels. and comprises
about 1900 bottles. The shipment
was consigned from Kansas City to
John c. Woodward & Co." which is
very like John G. Woodward & Co.,
candy manufacturers. The Wood
ward company has the right to buy
alcohol for manufa cturing purposes,
but has to go through an elaborate
procedure. This was done early in
January and the supply for the year
secured.
The purpose evidently was to lead
officials and railway men to believe
that the shipment was intended for
tiiS Sohhy ioStoiy'
Watched Depot.
Shoemaker hung around the Bur-
lington station for two days waiting
for someone to call for the stuff.
Yesterday afternoon a big Foley
truck drove up and two men, one an
Italian, entered the freight house Of
flee and asked for the goods. They
didn't have money enough to pay the
freight charges, and drove away.
Half an hour later the truck re-
turned with the driver alone in
charge. He paid the freight bill and
loaded the five barrels. Then
Deputy Shoemaker took possession.
Conley refused to make any state
ment OF give the name of the Italian.
He is locked up in the county Jail.

The banks are fun OF savings
the peoples h~ard-earned dust;

hold here; no wild-eyed Russian
mystic can throw things out OF

pen; the banks are full of savings,
put there by working men. When
all of us are stony, dead broke

convert US, We'll join the unwash-

with lignum vitae clubs. But
while we have our savings in yon-
der moral bank, you'll note that
our behavings won't be SO brash

trees growing beside our cottage
doors, we do not heed the blow

With happy children playing
about our modest homes, we do
not heed the braying that comes
