CITY PLANNING COMMITTEE
IS TO REPORT WEDNESDAY
The city planning committee of the
Omaha Real Kstatj exchange, after an
exhaustive investigation of .tiro city
planning movement In other cities, will
report Its findings -to - the exchange at
Wednesday's meeting. . .
With every available employe hard at
work, the Omaha postoftlce is Just about
playing even with the Christmas rush
which set in early this morning. Thou
sands of packages 'were mailed at the
postoftlce before 9 o'clock and the clerks
worked desperately to keep even with
the flood of packages that are pouring In.
The mall from the, Philippine inlands
"ChriBtmos ship," which arrived In Ban
Francisco Saturday, was received here
and of 810 registered mall pouches, con
taining about twenty-five packages each,
Omaha received fifty. These packages
were sent by soldiers and sailors to
friends and relatives here.
Besides having a steady stream of out
going, mail to combat with, the postal
employes are working against an enor
mous amount of mall that la to be de
livered in Omaha. Seventeen , substitute
clerks were put to work today and these
are scarcely enough. Several extra stamp
clerks will be placed on duty some time
this week. The lobby near the Btamp de
partment and registry division was
crowded all day long.
'Present Indications show that the
business handled this month will be much
larger than that handled . In December,
1910," said. Postmaster Thomas. "We have
already handled several hundred thousand
pieces of mail In -the last few-days, and
Judging by the start, I should say that
our men will have to keep Jumping to
keep even with the business. We have
placed a number of extra men on duty
and we will be able to handle the busi
ness,' but there must be no hitch in the
system or we will be swamped."
Superintendent Masten of the railway
mail service, fourteenth division, says all
the available men he can get are being
put out on various railroads and the
railway mall service is being pushed as
hard, or harder, than the Omaha post-office.

British Admiralty
Accused of Plotting
to Blow Up Harbor
COLOGNE, Dec. 18 The Rhenish West
phallan Zeltung publishes a story of an
alleged discovery of a plan on the part '
of Great Britain to blow up Wilhelms-
haven.
The Zeltung professes to have received
Its information from one of the best In
formed officials, who said that the postal
authorities becoming suspicious of re
peated money orders in favor of deck
officers and chief mates, Ylnally seised
some of the letters passing through the
postal department.
These showed that the plans to the en
trances to Wllhelma'.iaven war harbor, aa
well as plans of the water supply and
the contents of -the secret code book, had
been betrayed to the British admiralty.
The paper points out that with auch In
formation at its command, Great Britain
could blow up the entrances to tho war
harbor at the decisive mbment, rendering
the harbor utterly useless and leave Ger
many, "at the very beginning of war, help
less to defend Itself at sea.
To prevent the threatened danger, the
Zeltung continues, a German squadron re
mained for weeks on patrol duty. Recent
conferences between the emperor, the
minister of marine, the chief of the ad
miralty and the chief of the marine de-
purtment, dealt with this danger.
IjONDON, Dec. 18. The story that the
British admiralty has secured plans of the
locks and water supply and the secret
signal codes of Wilhelmshaven, with the
Idea In event of war of blowing up the
harbor entrances and thus bottling up the
German fleet, Is regarded here as a mere
romance.
The story Is supposed to have been be
trayed by German officers to the Rhenish
Westphallan Zeltung. Which Is strongly

to the dynamiting, and the other five
members of his company arrested are
still being held at the post. The belief
that the Quirk confession wus given
merely that his long solitary confinement
might be terminated gains ground here.
Friends of Rev. Mr. Brewer and Mrs.I
Jordan d not believe that the churges
against them will be pressed, although
It Is maintained that new warrants will
