POSTAL ROBBERY MAY EE CHARGED TO DAKOTA GANC Sheriff Identifies Gun that Killed Williams as Stolen From a Rohrs (Neb.) Store. Harold "Westbrook, known as "White River Whitie," and his com rades who figured in the mysterious death of Earl Williams, whose life ess body was abandoned at the Uni versity of Nebraska 'hospital, will probably be turned over to the fed eral authorities in connection with the alleged robbing of a postoiBee. Sheriff Davis of Auburn, Neb., last night identified the shotgun with which Westbrook said Williams acci dentally shot himself as one of three guns which were taken in a score robbery -at Rohrs. That same night Neb.. January 3. a postofSce and bank were robbed. Police said last night that West brook is beginning to talk and he will probably make a "clean breast" of his criminal pr.st. Westbrook already has confessed according to police, to having stolen three automobiles in Omaha and tak en them to the Dakotas. District Judge Day appeared at Central poli'e station yesterday, be cause Westbrook was paroled a short time ago in Blair by a board on which Judge Day sat. Stolen Cigars Found Cigars stolen from the Rohrs stores were found in the same culvert where Williams was alleged to have been accidentally rhct. Boys playing near the culvert found the cigars the day following the robbery. Two of West brook's comrades also had pocket knives which the Auburn sheriff said were stolen in Rohrs. "The Sphinx Woman," Mrs. L. Da vis, so called by police because she would answer no questions, was re leased yesterday on a $50- cash bond, after she was arrested in connection with the death of Earl Williams. . RETURNING FROM EUROPE j Miss Annette Sprung. former teacher in the Plattsmouth city schools and now teaching in the Lin coln high srhool, is returning home from a visit of several months in Eurooe. having been touring that continent since last June. In a re cent letter to friends from Paris she describes a part of the incidents of her stay in the French capital in- , eluding a visit to the French girls! lycee which, conforms to our high, school and zjso describes the Christ- ! mas festivitis and shops arranged for the holiday season. She says that the most striking difference between our high schools and the French schools are the lack of social activi ties and real sports. All sports, in cluding football, are carried on by clubs independent of the school man agement, j CASE IS FILED From Friday Dally This morning in the office of the clerk of the district court was filed an action entitled C.

FIREMEN RETURN HOME FROM THE STATE MEETING : Plattsmouth Delegation Find that as intertainers tne Westerners Are the Real Thing. From Friday's Dally. This morning the Plattsmouth del egation to the state firemen's conven tion, consisting of Guv W. Morgan, Chief O. Sandin. J. V. Hatt, Fred Lugsch, Louie Kroehler and H. W. Smith returned home from North Platte looking the worse for wear in the strenuous meeting but feeling that they had one of the times of their young lives in the gathering of the fire fighters. The closing day of the convention was devoted to the election of the officers of the association, the follow ing being chosen: O. W. Rhodes. Scottsbluff, president; Lee Carey, York, first C. Rundin, C. Rundin. vice president; Rev. W. Mitchell, see ovnidec AD second president: A. G. iWebbcrt. Kearney, secretary; Frank ! Tobin, Sidney, treasurer; Rev. Ilass. Beatrice, chaplain. The contest for the next meeting place was a warm one and Beatrice was finally chosen for the coveted honor and will entertain the fire fichters the coming year in their most hospitable manner and which their boosters promise will be some event. j A fire exhibit was held on the streets of North Platte Thursday which was the crowning feature of the state gathering. There were nine hundred delegates in attendance at the state meeting. WANTS TEACHERS TO ENTER POLITICS W. B. Owen Says State Teachers' As sociation Should Eecome a ''Power" in Politics. Making the state teachers' associ ation a power for educational ad vancement was urged by William B. Owen, president of the National Edu cational association and of the Chi cago Normal school, in an address before the delegate assembly of the Nebraska Teachers' association at the Hotel Rome yesterday morning. Several hundred educators attended this first session of the big three-day conference at Lincoln. j "In Illinois, we write and intro- duce the bills. We fight for them. No bill could be passed affecting educa tional matters in that state that the Illinois State Teachers' association did not approve." Owen declared that educators would emerge from their "anaemic :ind cloistered life" by becoming a power in politics. "If we convince our communities that their biggest single expenditure rhould be for education, that the school is of paramount importance, we'll wake up and find that we are not an isolated people, but a part of the life of the state." Owen urged a rotation plan to se cure trained omcers for the state teachers' association." Dr. Owen will deliver another ad dress at the first general session at the auditorium tonight. Senator G. W. Norris will also speak. W. H. Morton of Beatrice, president, will give, an address. The South High Gleerlub will sing. Educational displays were install ed by school supply houses in the auditorium yesterday morning. GLOBES GO FAST The ornamental globes that sur mount the electroliers are already Buffering a great deal from the ef fects of persons driving'into the posts and causing the globes to break and as they cost something like $2 each they are amounting into money fast. One of the globes on Third street was recently broken by a runaway j team crashing into the light post (and now one of the lamps near the 1 Each store has been deprived of the ! globe bj' a truck backing into It.

Bradbury in the Utica (New York) Herald-Dispatch Gives the Reasons, There are three most potent fac tors in the life, growth and develop ment of a community. They are the church, the school and the newspa per, and this is in the order of im portance. It is not our purpose here to eul ogize. We will pass over the first two of i hose fac tors, and perhaps treat of jthern later. If the churches were thrown out of this community no self respecting person could stay here. With all our material prosperity we would soon drop back to conditions such as ancient Rome witnessed. And if the school were discontinued ma terial progress would also stop and we would sink beyond redemption. The church is a public institution and is supported by voluntary con tributions. The school is also a public institution and is supported by the state through taxation. The news- l'Jiir iia semi-puuuc uisuiuiion "iu receives no public support, but has to earn its livelihood through the regular channels of competitive bus iness. It is of the newspaper that we row wish to speak. If al! of the newspapers and other periodicals were discontinued today the effect would be somewhat similar to a mighty plague 'sweeping over the land. Darkness would creep in. the darkness of intellect, as people would remain in ignorance of the happenings in localities only a few miles distant. Business would slow down and telegraph communication would soon fall into disuse because no stimulus would tome from news paperdom. Even the postoffice re- j ceipts would dwindle for much of its revenue comes in direct response to advertising. The newspaper is the third great agency in the advancement of civil ization, yet it is underestimated more often than the first two. It is too often treated as merely a business proposition. Few pecpie seem ever to get fhe vision that the true-blue edi tor has in using the business to ad vance the interests of a whole coni mcnity. The teacher has one job to teach; but the editor, if he be true, has a triple job and that is to preach, to teach, and hardest of all and with it all, too. to meet his weekly pay roll, pay the other costs of production, and try to get a com fortable living and we all have a right to that. Omitting the church and the school, we can make claim without exaggeration, that a true newspaper is of more real importance, does more goort with less money, gives more for less money than any other business in a community. It is true that some will point to large indus trial plants that nourish in the com munity and say that those concerns with their big pay rols form the life of the community. This we answer is only from a superficial material istic survey of the field. But the life is more than food and the body than clothing. The big industrial plants deal in wealth, that is produced by labor; but the newspaper besides dealing in news, deals in bigger things thoughts. "Our thoughts are things, and a small drop of ink, falling ike dew up on thousands. perhaps millions, think." GIVE SHOWER FOR FRIEND From Thursday's Dallv. Yesterday afternoon the parson age of the Eight Mile Grove Luther an church was the scene of a very delightful social gathering when Mrs. H. O. Rhode and the teachers of the Sunday school gave a miscellaneous shower in honor of Miss Mable Hil flicker, who has been one of the ac tive teachers and workers in the Sun day school for the past several years. The occasion was enjoyed by a large number of the young ladies and the guest of honor, whose marriage to Mr. Fred Engelkemeier is to take place in the next few weeks, was made the recipient of a large num ber of handsome gifts. After the pleasant social features of the day the members of the party were served a very dainty and deli cious three course luncheon by Mrs. Rhode and the teachers of the Sun day school. The following were in attendance: Mesdames A. H. Engelkemeier, A. J. Engelkemeier, Henry Engelkemeier, Otto Puis, William Puis. Sr.. Fred Lutz, Jacob Meis:nger.

Among the many bills that have been hurled into the legislative hop per at Lincoln is one in which a change is proposed in the ma: ner or ; 1 of th" ' 2 3.0C I' conducting the office of clerk district court in counties ef or less. The measure is known as Senate File No. 56 and was introduced by Senator Rkkard and provides that in counties of less than 25.000 the duties of the office of clerk of the district court shall devolve on the county clerk instead of the present method of separate offices. In the smaller counties where there are only small populations as in the western part of the state, this plan might be very acceptable but in a county the size of Cass county, which is under the limit and would make the law applicable here, there is ample need of both offices and a j consolidation would mean no saving 'ps the necessity for additional clerks would become necessary in the coun ty clerk's office and only add to the duties of that position and with the tax records and general business of the county the office force is kept on the go as it is and to add the dis triet clerk work to the office would not only be a great burden but an inconvenience to those who have business in the district clerk's oT.ce and with the records of the office. If the legislature desires to clip offices they should start in on the code secretaries ancl not try to dis organize the operation of the offices in the various counties. OLD RESIDENT VERY ILL The many friends over Cass county of O. M. Streight of this city, will regret very much to learn that Mr. Streight is now in very serieus con i dition at his home in this citv and that for the past several days his'eral years family has been very apprehensive of the outcome of bis case. Lost eve ning his son. Harold G. Streight, ar rived from Waterloo. Iowa, where he is employed as chief clerk to the storekeeper of the Chicago Great Western and will remain here until the condition of the father show3 some change. PRESENT INDICATIONS POINT TO CONTINUATION OF BOOH Washington, Jan. 17. Indications point to a continuation of the build ing boom thruout the country this spring. Sales of fabricated structural steel took an upward swing in De cember, the census bureau announc es, carrying the year's estimated sales to 1.929,400 tons, or 64.3 per cent of the shop production capacity. The sales exceeded those of 1921 by almost a million tons and were the highest in the last 10 years. December's estimated total book ings aggregated 145,800 tons. That! was 2 0 per cent more than Novem ber bookings and marked the turn ing point from a series of seasonal declines in fabricated steel orders.
