McVann Tells the
Warehouse Men to
Have Laws Changed
If the anrehouse men of the country
don't want the railroads s competitors In
the storsge business,- they must go ahead
and get the law changed Instead of ham
mering the railroads. This, in substance.
is What E. J. McVann, manager of the
traffio bureau of the Omaha Commercial
club, told the delegates to the National
Warehousemen's association at the meet
ing In Kansas City Friday morning.
Th warehousemen had been doing a
great deal of complaining In the course
of th convention about the competition
growing out of th railroads' entrance
Into the storage business. McVann
pointed out that the law compels the rail
roads to store In certain cases, and that
the way to get them out of the way as
competitors of the warehouses is to
amend the law instead of hammering at
the road si

LIGHT FOR FAMILY'S SAKE

sick, we had three little children and
needed money," .
With that explanation and a, plea of
guilty to the charge of fraudulently col
lecting double payment on a postal money

himself -n the mercy of the federal court
and received only a ninety-day sentence,
instead of being sent to th federal peni
tentiary. . ' ,
He had received a money order for $21
from a relative, and by alleging that he
had lost it, socured th issuance of a
duplicate. Then he managed to get both
original and duplicate cashed. When th
fraud was detected and Carpenter was
arrested, he pleaded guilty and begged
for clemency because of hi family and
its straightened circumstances. '
