Police Hold Man as
Suspect in Lincoln
Depot Robbery Case

Twelve hours after two masked
negroes held up and robbed the
ticket agent of the Rock Island sta
ton at Lincoln, Omaha detectives
arrested man giving his name as
Herbert Atkisson, Milan, Tenn, at
the Union station under suspicion
of having been one OF the highway
men. Atkisson bore the identical
description given of the robbers,
police say.
According to Chief of Detectives
Dunn. the negro admitted having
been in the Lincoln depot last night
at the time of the hold-up. The
partner of the man is still at large.
The hold-up was committed in full
view Of hundreds of waiting passen-
gers. Quietly slipping on their
masks, both negroes stepped into
the ticket Office and at the point of
guns commanded the ticket agent
to throw up his hands. While one
of them held gun on the agent the
other riffled the open safe. They
took $500. Escape was made while
the two gunner held onlookers at
bay in the depot. Upon word that
one of the men had boarded an early
morning train for Omaha, Chief
Dunn detailed officers to search the
train upon its arrival here. Atkisson
was arrested as he was spied getting
off coach. He had no gun on him.
Lincoln detectives will come to
Omaha today to attempt to iden-
tify the highwayman.

Bathing Girls Must
Wear More Clothes
Or Show Will Close

General Superintendent Werlich
of the Board of Public Welfare
yesterday ordered the closing OF
the performance of the Mack Sem
nett bathing girls show at the
Brandeis theater unless the princi-
pals, appeared in fleshings, accord
ing to an announcement made at
the theater last night by Fred New
ell, studio director of the company
from Los Angeles.
Before the performance of the
bathing girls he told of the surf con-
ditions at Los Angeles and that the
reason women wore one-piece swim
ming suits was to combat the un-
dertow. "The one-piece bathing
suit is as common on California
beaches as women's suits are in
Omaha" said Mr.. Newell. THE
possibility of vulgarity rests in the
minds of the audience"
Following the performance the
audience was requested to express
its opinion on the dangers to the
morals Of Omaha by continuing the
performance. Not dissenting voice
in the audience that occupied every
seat, was heard. A 10-second
demonstration on the part of those
in favor of the performance threat
ened to literally tear off the roof"
The bathing girls display bathing
suits popular on California beaches
and several numbers of classical
Greek and Egyptian dances. The
head of the welfare board objected
to the limbs of the dancers being
nude.
Manager Joy Sutphen announces
that he will employ attorneys if
necessary to continue the perform
ance. II do not believe there is
in connection with the
show the courts will not sanction"
he declared.

DISMISSAL OF
SNEAD OPPOSED
BY LABOR HEADS
Postal Clerk Discharged fol
Alleged Radical Activities
During Strike of Teamsters.

Labor leaders OF this city are in.
censed at the action of the federal
government in dismissing from the
service A. c. Snead, postal clerk
! for alleged radical activities among
the organized postal employees OF
Omaha.
Snead was notified by Assistant
Postmaster General Rooms Satur-
day that his services would no
longer be required. He was in
Washington in the interests of the
local postal employees when he was
notified of the decision of the
Postoffice department.
Radical statements attributed to
Snead during the recent Transfers
strike in this city made him unfit
longer to hold a position with the
department, in the opinion of the
assistant postmaster general. He is
also charged with having actively
aided the transfers in their strike,
in violation of the rules of the postal
department..
Assistant Postmaster James I.
Woodland stated that Snead had
never been charged with inefficiency
in the discharge of his duty by his
superiors. He was known to be an
agitator, according to Mr.. Woodland.
Resolutions demanding the REIN
statement of Snead have already
been passed by the Nebraska State
Federation of Labor. The local
Central Labor union is expected to
take similar action in the near flu
ture.

not restrict itself to sales accounts,
but manifests itself physically.
Mr.. Wilson is six-fcoter and

thinnest salesman who carries the
Square Brand papers and can detect
an order a day off. Northern Kan
sas. eastern Colorado and southern
Nebraska are his fields.
Mr.. Wilson has his hobbies and
likes EN-. Chief among them is his
constant desire for a croquet game.
He has croquet Set on his lawn
and spends good part Of the sum-
mer week-ends trying to send the
ball through the sdouble arches and
hit the stake. He also enjoys taking
a good workout at the ~"
Starting fires, however, is not one
of Mr. Wilson's hobbies, although
he admits it looked mighty sus-
picious that he left Hotel Paddock
in Beatrice only a few hours before
it burned down recently.

married and has daughter. He

MYSTERIOUS MAID
OF EDITH CAVELL I
FINALLY LOCATED
Pauline Randall Gives Out
Facts Relative to Arrest of
Executed English Nurse.

London, Sept. 7.-(By Universal
Service. Pauline Randall, the mys-
ferrous Pauline in the trial at Paris
growing out of the betrayal Of Edith
Cavell, was located Saturday at
Clact2n-on-the- Sea. where she is
mentioning.
Miss Randall was Edith Cavell's
maid, and her name has been fire.
quently mentioned at the trial of
QUEEN. but up to Saturday the search
for her had been futile.
She is a quiet, retiring girl OF 20,
and pretty. She was IS years old
when she went to Brussels two years
before the war. her father being
the owner of a small circus. Pauline
ran away from him and joined Edith
Cavell, who adopted her into her
organization.
"One day." said Miss Randall.
Sister Wilkins, one of Miss Cavells
nurses, was called to the kom-
mandatur German military head
quartcrs). Later she told Miss
Cavell that two men she had seen
there tailed with the description |
had given her of two men ! had met.
and that they pretended to know all
about Miss Cavell's activities. This
was not true.
THE following day six German
policemen went through Miss
Cavel!s papers. The day after they
came again and locked up all the
nurses and maids. including myself.
in one room. They then arrested
Miss Cavell and released us.
IF I can help trace those who be-
trayed Miss Cavell l shall be happy,
