Omaha Hunters Arc Dared to Show
Their Faces in Kansas City, Mo.
City Commissioner Withnell, returning
from a hunting trip at Tom O'Brien's
ranch near Sutherland, Neb., states that
Chief of Police Hamlin of Kansas Ctty
did not have ague, but was badly fright
ened during the outing.
In the party was George Brandels, who
g-ave Chief Hamlin an alarm watch which
sounda like a rattlesnake. There wore
rattlesnakes In the hunting grounds vls-
Charlle Withnell
as a salaried man of the government.
Because he could not return to
work In ISO days he was permanently
dismissed from the service. Totter
ing on weak limns, the result of that
fall, the old gentleman was brought
to the platform at the Auditorium
before the convention of the National
Association of Letter Carriers and
there presented with a bouquet of
flowers by the local carriers.
That the old gentleman wh thus dis
missed from the servtoe and .left unpro
vided for, after carrying mall for thirty
five yearn for the government, without a
single demerit mark, was stated by Wll
Wllliam Maher, president of the local
branch of the Letter Carrlera.
"He was 111 for over 150 days some two
Tears ago," said Maher. "He was laid
ff then. Finally, when he waa well
enough, we succeeded In getting him
reinstated. He carried for a time and
then suffered illness this fail, which laid
him up again for a longer period. Thla
time he was permanently dismissed and
cannot enter the service again because
be Is unable to do the wxrk. The great
Government has let him unprovided for.
We are going to give him thla little token
nf one rerneot." continued Maher, as he
turned with the bouquet In his hands. "And
Mr. Congressman,- turning to Congress
man Martin Madden of Chicago, "Mr,
fnnarreaaman. I hope you will see fit to
do something for this man and hla kind
in the service."
Talks n Pensions.
This dramatlo climax followed a num
ber of talks and discussions on the sub
ject of the proposed pension system for
civil service employes.
Lawrenoe Le Bron. formerly a oarrler
of Chioago, now living with his sons In
Omaha, was then also brought to the
stage and Introduced as another example
of the men whose working years are given
to the government at a meager salary
and who are then retired on account of
old age, with no provision for their maintenance.
ConsTessman Martin B. Madden made
the principal address of the morning.
Madden has suffered a change of heart.
o he told the convention.
"I've come" a long way slnoe I last spoke
to letter carriers," said Madden, and be
was enthusiastically cheered.
Mast Fnan tne Bills.
"You have had bills Introduced In con
gress, but one would scarcely say the
bills have been before congress,'' said
Madden. "Tou must agitata these bills
and see that they get serious considera
tion. We can stand and talk In private
conventions forever, and yet never get
action. There ought to be a Joint conv-
rottte of congress to oonslder your ease.
And as for you, you ought to prepare fig
ure and make a oase. Agitation does no
good Unless you prepare a case with care
ful arguments and figures.
"Furnish us with the information and
we'll furnish you with the legislation.
A rising vote of thanks and a rousing
three cheers were given Congressman
Madden at the close of his speech.
Three intlnerant singers, the Cramer
brothers, came In at the noon hour and
entertained the carriers wtth two songs.

itate, together with several hundred let
ter carrlera from several hundred nooks

big rattler was giving its usual warning.
Chief Hamlin looked around to locate
the creating creature and hla Inability to
find It aggravated the altuatton. He ran
like a fire engine to Withnell, exclaiming
that a rattler was his nemesis.
Messrs. Withnell, Brmndeia and O'Brien
were doing tholr beat to restrain their
feelings Withnell suggeated that the
snake would surely renew Its attack, be
cause, he added, rattlesnakes are per
sistent. The Kawville chief said he would
stand on the aide lines and watch the
others do the hunting.
Then the Joke came out and Chief Ham
lin dared the Omahana to show them
selves In Kansas City while he wore his
star.
