Garage Bandits Wait for
Victims-Woma Saves
Jewelry.

William B. McCabe, Mrs. Nc
Cabe, and McCabe's stepfather, Will
liam A. Mathcny, 5023 Burt street,
were held up and robbed of dia-
monds worth $1,000 and $50 in
money by two gunner, who were
hidden in the McCabe garage when
the family drove home at Sunday
morning.
Mrs. McCabe saved her diamonds
by putting them in her mouth. She
refused to give their value. Matheny
also slipped a diamond from his fin
ger and thought he dropped it in his
collar. 1t was later found in the
snow.
Matheny stepped from the car
to open the garage doors. AS he
opened them the two bandits step
ped out, one OF them covering Ma
theny and the other swinging gun
on Mr.. and Mrs. McCabe.

"Step out" the bandit said to
them.
Mr.. and Mrs. McCabe got out,
and the bandit, still holding the pis-
tol on both, ordered McCabe to de-
liver his valuablcs. The bandit was
given McCabe's $1,000 ring and his
wallet containing $50.
That's all" he said.
"Your Watchyaur watch, the
bandit shot b4ck quickly.
"Well, you've got the drop on me,
old man, and yoH can make me give
it up, but it was present from my
mother and I'd like to keep it.
The bandit relentcd.
With the watch argument con-
cluded McCabe mustered the courage
to ask for his lodge cards. They
were in the wallet.
I NO" the bandit said, "I'll mail
'cm to you.
"Be a good sport" pleaded McCabe,
but the bandit was obdurate.
Woman Saves Jewels.
"All right" he said, and turned his
attention to Mrs. McCabe. He gave
her hands rigid search, but said
nothing. She had slipped her dia-
nonds from her fingers while the
man was occupied with her husband.
Meanwhile the other bandit had
relieved Matheny Of a diamond pin
valued at $500.
The job done, both bandits warned
their victims to stay where they were
and not to make noise. They dashed
from the McCabe yard and to big
car parked in a dark part of the
street, and were driven away. Nc
Cabe told police two other men
were waiting in the bandits car.

Sentenced
to Prison
Three Nebraska City Packing
House Workers Found in
Contempt of Court by
Federal Judge.
6 Men, 9 Women Freed

. Lincoln. Jan. S.-(Special Tele-

packing house strikers to so days in
the Lancaster county Jail for con-
tempt of court in falling to obey
restraining orders issued by him
against picketing. The men SEN

Pile and Jay Rceder.
This is the first time the federal
court in Nebraska has interceded
by jail sentence in strike and iol-
lows an opinion month ago by the
United States supreme court that
picketing must be confined to one
picket at the entrance and one at
the exit OF an institution against
which a strike is directed.

that from 40 to 50 men and women

Backed by U. S.
THE Nebraska City strikers should
understand that the whole Unitrl
States is ready to back the order
and sentence Of this court to any
extent necessary" Judge Munger
said.
Il advise the strikers to do just
what the restraining order says and
not to depend on friendly counsel
to direct their movements"
Sheriff Ed c. Fischer of Nebras-
ka City was scored by attorneys for
the packing house for alleged fail
ure to disperse belligerent crowds
which failure, it was claimed, was
costing Otoe County hundreds of
dollars every week in the employ
ment of deputies.
That Omaha strikers anticipate a
similar move on the part of pack
ing plants in Omaha was evinced
by the presence of A. H. Bigelow,
Omaha labor union attorney, who
aided the defense, but announced he
was not directly representing the de-
PENDANTS.
The three men were granted a
l5-day stay Of execution to permit
them to prepare bonds and their at

of the special subcommittee on air.
craft, which held that effective linn
itation Of aircraft is impracticable
except in the case of lighter-than-
air machines, and which proposed a
new treaty to govern the use OF
commercial aircraft in war.
The subcommittee, in a volumi
nous report on all phases Of the air
craft situation, submitted the fol-
lowing conclusion:
"The committee is of the opinion
that it is not practicable to impose
any effective limitations upon the
numbers or characteristics of air.
craft, either commercial or military,
except in the single case Of lighter
than-air craft.
THE committee is of the opinion
that the use of aircraft in war should
be governed by the rules Of war;
fare as adopted to aircraft by fur
ther conference, which should be
held at later date"
The conference committee will re-
sumo consideration of the subcom-
mittee recommendation Monday. 1t
was predicted tonight that it will
not go beyond the report of its SUBJ
committee, which is composed of
experts representing all the partici-
pating powers whose conclusions
are regarded as sound.
With respect to lighter -than-air
craft, the subcommittee admitted
limitation to be possible, but indi-
Gated it might be unwise to attempt
it because of possible deterring af-
.fect on legitimate commercial de-
avelopmert.
"Thc committee is agreed" said
the report, that the possibility of
war use for large dirigibles may still
exist. Although in the latter stages
of the world war it appeared al il
the defense had the mastery over at
tack in lighter -than-air craft, the in
PRODUCTION Of larger craft filled with
1loninflammable gas and carrying
their own protective airplanes may
again permit bombardments being
carried out by dirigib1es.
This committee desires, how
ever, to draw attention to the fact
that dirigibles become increasingly
efficient with increase of size. Any
limit which is imposed on the size
of commercial dirigibles must shut
the door on the possibility Of their
development for legitimate civil en-
terprises."
