Gunmen Who Escaped
Policemen Suspected
In Another Robbery

Tie two gunmen who, Friday
night escaped the custody of Police
Officer w. F. Cich at Twenty-fourth
and Cunning streets, after he had
them covered with his revolver, are
believed to be the men who last
night held up Ernest Small, grocery
deliverer, and after forcing him to
drive more than a mile, robbed him
of $50. &c.
Small is delivery boy for Sam
Riseman, 1908 Cunning street.
He told the police last night that
on leaving a house at Thirty-fifth
street and Patrick avenue, after
making a delivery, a man with a
gun ordered him to drive his truck
north.
another fellow followed us in a
Buick" said Small. "The man with
the gun rode on the seat with me.
When we got to a lonely spot on
Creighton boulevard, the man riding
with me told me to stop and took
$50 had collected during the day.
They ordered me to drive south, and
they drove north"
The police were inclined to doubt
Small's story, until the Buick car

spects identified as the one used by
the two bandits who escaped from

MORE OPTIMISM

COAL SITUATION
Increased Production Noted in
Several States-Restric-
tons Acute.

Chicago, Dec 6.-Increased pro-
duction of soft coal in several states,
according to Saturdays reports,
served to improve the national situ-
alton to some extent. More opti-
mistic indications were in evidence
among government fuel officials and
some operators although Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield emphatically
declared he would not countenance
any increased wages to miners at
the expense of the public.
A number of actions in the way
of restrictions and conservation
were taken throughout the country,
chief among them being announce
rnent of suspension of scores OF
passenger trains, most of them in
the south central and northwestern
regions, though others had been
ordered or were in prospect in the
east and south.
Apparently there was no settle
ment of the strike nearer than in
recent days.
The effect upon industry generally

In Ford.

Two bandit "high-jackers" were
shot, perhaps fatally, in a running

Both bandits are in St. Joseph

COLLEGE WOMEN TURN
DOWN TEACHING FIELD.

New York, Dec. 6.-College
women are turning from the teach
ing field and earning much more
money in other capacities, accord
ing to an investigation in behalf OF
the Smith college endowment fund.
One college woman founded a tea
room in New York City and made
$4,000 last year. A director of the
dining service, recently employed by
one college, received 10000 a year
more than the professors are paid.
Many college women are writing
for magazines and newspapers.
Those trained in chemistry are be-
coming analysts for commercial con-
Germs; many of ability in mathe-
mates are employed as insurance
actuaries. Others are nurses and
dietitians and many are entering the
business world as stenographers.
These fields are so renuneratlve
relatively that an ever-increasing
proportion OF graduates is entering
the teaching profession.
1t is proposed to use the Snltii
endowment fund to increase the
faculty salaries 50 per cent.

Proposal Of President in
Coal Strike Has Approval
of Heads of Mine Workers
Attorney General Palmer Announces That Agree
ment Has Been Reached Whereby Lewis
Will Recommend to Meeting Of Executive
Committee of Order Tuesday That Men Accept
Offer of Wilson and Return to Work Immediately.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Attorney
General Palmer announced after
midnight that an agreement was
reached here between government
officials and John L. Lewis, acting
president, and William Green, sec
retary-treasurer of the United Mine
Workers. under which a proposal
for termination OF the coal strike
will be submitted to meeting of
the executive committee OF the mine
workers at Indianapolis next Tues
day. -
Wilson's Proposal.
The proposal, which is not de-
scribed in the statement, was pro-
posed by President Wilson look
ing to a speedy termination of the
strike situation and adjustment OF
the entire controversy" the state
ment says. Lewis and Green will
urge acceptance of the proposal
Mr.. Palmers statement follows:
"A conference was held at the De-
partment of Justice, III Washington

the attorney general, Mr.. Tumulty,
secretary to the president, John L,

Green, secretary-treasurer of the

with a view to reaching an under

and the miners which would result
in a settlement of the coal strike
situation

"At this conference there was sub

BIGGEST TRAIN
CUT IN HISTORY
OF RAILROADING
Travel Almost Impossible Ex-
cept on Urgent Business-Will
Save 500 Tons Daily.

One of the most extensive cur
tailments of passenger service in the
annals of American railroading will
take effect Monday morning at 1901
o'clock.
Local railroad Offices yesterday
announced definitely a wholesale
cutting affecting Omaha and sur
rounding territory to the extent Of
making travel almost impossible ex-
cept on most important missions.
To further eliminate tourist pat
ronage during the present critical
coal shortage, it was announced that
every observation and parlor car on
every line, except observation cars
which contain berths, will be taken
off all trains. 1t is also probable
that dining cars will be eliminated
from train service, although no def
mite announcement was made. No
reservation for Pullman space will
be made more than 48 hours in ad-
vance. according to Union Pacific
officials.
No Double Sections.
Through trains on the Union Pa
cifc, which have been running in
two sections to accommodate heavy
tourist travel to the west coast, will
be cut to one section.
Trains thus affected on the Union
Pacific are Nos. l and 2, once known

parts Of the country go to its stores

in which l had correctly estimated
the character and caliber of Wood
row Wilson after his deplorable fail
ures during the first six months of
the war. In that time he had proved
up to the hilt his utter incapacity for
acting up to the ideals of the great
er American preside. s. H proved
himself incapable of the nobility ard
political sagacity of a Washington,
the open-hearted, pure humanity and
honesty of a Lincoln, the bluff, frank
manliness of a Cleveland. His in
depreciation OF neutrality will ever
remain a heavy reproach to their
judgments and their sense of justice.
Wilson, the hyphenated Ameri-
can president, was unneutral to his
British backbone. Self-confessed by
his words and self-eopdemned by
his actions, he proved himself un-
worthy to be the guardian or de-
fender of Americas fair name among
the nations And, therefore, when
he was finally stripped of his white
and sanity raiment and his halo,
and unmasked as a creature impelled
by blind hatred on the one hand
and by slavish submission to evil
powers, financial and imperialistic
on the other, l did not feel that
sense of sickening disappointment
which | felt when some of our other
public men turned renegade to truth
and honor.
For my own sober amusement l
have created a black list and a white
list for American behavior during
the war and after it. There are few
names upon the white list and many
upon the black. And yet l will con-
fess to you the fact that for the
present your name remains among

ter of indifference to you, but | am
certain that the reasons which i'm
PEELED me to this decision, cannot be

"You will not be offended, senator,
when say it is difficult to prophesy
about politicians. For they are sub
ject to circumstances more than
other men, or subject themselves
more readily than other men. They
are nearly always governed by ex-
pediency. And yet I believe that
you, sir, were largely governed by
principles. In your rugged face
there is something that reminds me
of Abraham Lincoln, and in the bold
open fearless eyes, there is none of
the cold and hard stiffness of Will

9, at 2 o'clock p. m, at which time
the presidents proposal will be con-

Complete Surprise.
The announcement came as a
complete surprise as government
officials had not made known the
fact that the union leaders had been
called into conference or that new
proposals were under consideration.
The presence of Lewis and Green
in the city was rumored during
the day, but could not be confirmed.
The fact that Mr.. Palmer talked
with President Wilson in the course
OF the day on the coal situation
was known, but no intimation of the
nature of the conference was OBJ
tainable either from Mr.. Palmer,
prior to his announcement, or at
the White House. 10
When the announcement was
made officials would not comment
on the nature of the proposals to
be submitted at Indianapolis.

cation OF the miners organization,
