* Confessed Burglar Attempts to Leap From Jail Window Seized by Officers Before as He Climbs Through Shat tered Panes; Admits Four Thefts. J. S. Harrison, 24, described by po lice as a ‘'wildcat,” admitted taking part In four burglaries Wednesday morning after he had snatched at a detective's gun, grappled with a half dozen officers, and attempted to leap to freedom through a closed window from the second floor of police head quarters. Georgs Downey, 23, arrested with Harrison by Former Police Sergeant Olaf Thestrup after a chase and a fight Tuesday night, admitted partici pation in the burglaries. Grabs for Gun. The men were held at the city Jail and were questioned separately Wed w nesday morning. When Harrison was ® being questioned by Chief of Detec tives Ben Panbaum, Thestrup, De tective William Davis and others, Davis, who was standing beside him. turned his back for a moment. Harrison pounced on him like a cat and grabbed for the officer's gun. Davis whirled on him, but Harrison attempted to pin his arms, still strug gling for the gun. As the other of ficers leaped toward him Harrison broke away and raced for the win dow. He made a flying jump for the pane and smashed it to bits, but was seized by the officers before he could climb through. Admits Four Robberies. Under further questioning Harri son admitted four robberies which he and Downey had committed in the two months that they have been in Omaha. Downey, when told of this confession, admitted his own part. Both men implicated Harry Loveman, 23, as the "lookout” for their rob beries. Loveman was arrested at 114 North Eighteenth street, where the three had been staying, and Is held for investigation. The men said they had come to Omaha from Balti more, Md.

BUSINESS MAN HAS FAITH IN AIR MAIL Inauguration of night air mail fly ing between New York and Chicago has given business men final proof of the effective functioning of the air mail service, according to a statement issued Wednesday from the office of Postmaster Charles E. Black. When night flying was first begun, tlie statement says, it was only prac ticable from the eastern side of the Mis d sij pi valley to the foot of the 1; cky mountains, and for this reason Nv York business men used the service principally for mall destined to Omaha or points farther west. The effectiveness of this service, however, caused thousands of firms to petition for the additional service. Tlie air mail has now proved Its Worth SO effectively, the statement says, that several planes will proh b ably bejised in daily service in each * direction. CHAPTER OF A.I.E.E.
