ROPE BURGLAR IS
GIVEN TERM IN
FEDERAL PRISON
Man With Several Aliases
Pleads Guilty to Charge Of
Attempt to Rob Post
offices.

Adam Moore, alias Frank White,
alias Frank Alexander, ex-convict,
known as the famous rope burg
lar" was arraigned in federal court
yesterday on a charge OF attempting
to rob the Walnut Hill and No. 9
postoffice stations. He pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to IS
months in the federal prison at
Leavenworth, Kas.
Moore was released from the
state penitentiary last Thursday
and was Immediately taken into GUS
tody by government officers. He
was sent to prison from Omaha in
1916 for committing over $50 hold
ups and robberies.
1t was his custom to enter a house
or place of business, tie the owner
to a chair, and then walk off with
whatever he found of value. He was
never without a rope, and although
he was carrying gun when he was
finally captured, he had never used it.
Moore was first sent to the peni-
tertiary in 1914, after committing
series of robberies. He was pa
rolled year later, and with recon-
mendations and papers attesting to
his good behavior while confined
in prison, committed a series of dar-
ing robberies which drove the police
frantic.

Keen Bidding for Drug
Store in Medical Building

Keen bidding is going on between
druggists to see who will be the
occupant of the drug store in the
new doctors building which is to
be erected at Seventeenth and
Dodge streets, as this will be a very
desirable location.
Eleven floors of the new building
have already been spoken for and it
is now certain that the medical as

in renting all the space to dentists
and doctors.
The decision of the doctors to
make Omaha a real medical center

fession as they now see the idea
will work out all right. All are TAX

girl demonstrators and the bruta
treatment of Korean women by
Japanese soldiers were frequent
while bands of armed japanese
thugs were turned loose upon the
Korean crowds.
From March | to April II, 36l
Koreans were known to have been
killed and 800 wounded. The indig-
mites to a few foreign missionaries
and especially the arrest and i'm
prisonment of the Rev. Eli M.
Mowry, are already we'll known in
America. The latest reports are to
the effect that the arrest and tor
ture of suspected persons by the po-
lice were continuing and that a
reign of terror prevailed.
Engaging Serious Attention.
That the ferbearing policy of the
federal councils commission has
met with an appreciative response
from the Japanese government is
evident from the following cable
gram just received from 'the Hon.
Takashi Hara, premier of the i'm
perial cabinet:
II desire to assure you that the
report of abuses committed by
agents of the Japanese government
in Korea has been engaging my
most serious attention. | am fully
prepared to look squarely at actual
facts. As I have declared on vari-
Gus occasions, the regime of ad-
ministration inaugurated in Korea
at the time of annexation, nearly
10 years ago, calls for substantial
modification to meet the altered
conditions Of things. A comprehen-
sive plan of reorganization with
this object in view has already been
on the tapis.
lin view, however, OF the recent
Improvement in the situation, the
contemplated reform can now be, in
my estimation, safely introduced and
will be carried into effect as soon as
the legal requirements of procedure
to make them definite shall have
been completed"
The commission also makes pub
lie part of a cablegram from Wis
count Uchida, minister of foreign af-
fairs, in Toxic, wherein he confirms
the assurances of Premier Hara that
the latter is irving to remedy the
Korean tror lie. The message
thanks the Americans for their cor
dial and friendly spirit" and asks
for a continuance of their sane and
moderate attitude"
