THE OMAHA DAILY BISKFRIDAY , DECEMBER 4 , 181)1 ) , ONLY A MATTER OF DOLLARS , Western Traffic Ofilo'ols Consider Omaha1 Bata Claims. UNDOUBTEDLY HAS A GOOD CASE Theory ofu IMiilritrrcHtcil Imllvltlun On the Hubjcot Very C.irc- fill With Their 1'rolltn Onrilun City BUIIBAI ; ( IP Tun DKE , I rjmcwio. Ii.u , Dec. ! ) . I Nothing tangible was accomplished todn ; at the confuroiico between Omaha rcprc sontntiviis and the cummlttoo of wotturi tranio men. The committee , which met litho the onim of Vlco Preslilont Harris of th liurllrjRtoii , lUtonoil to the nrKUtnonts Ii Omaha's fnvor and promised to ronort between twoon now and Oocombor 31. The coininlttoi nlso considered the equalisation of grail rates to Minneapolis and DuluHi. "Omaha undoubtedly ha ? u good caso.1 Raid a prominent ofllclnl whoso road Is not In torcstcd In this discussion , "but , " ho added "It talies soniotliintr moro than n good case ti win wltb the trnflio ninnapurs. luey arc a1 arbitrary n < > the c/ar and no matter whn precedents n city may cite for n concession I is not likely to bo grunted if the roads tlilnl they may possibly lose anything by it. It li purely question of dollars und cunts wltl them. " Alter ( lie Triilli It Is the opinion of a shrewd dotectlvo Ir this city th.it the three train robborins wlilcl. have been committed slnco November 1 n the wcit , beginning with tnu ana noiti Omaha and ending \vlth that near St. Louis , were uono by ono well known trio consisting of "Paddy" Kavnnauph , "Kid" McvVIlIlnms and the "Cyclona" The commonly accepted Idea up to last niRht was that trto robbery ou the St. Paul road was committed by amateurs tours living in or near Racine. There Is now good reason to bollovo that the Jon was done by experts and that the loavli of the "clow1' by which the dotcctivos were put on the trail of the amateurs was a cleverly put up job. Tno details of the hold up on the 'I'Visco line near St. Louis , whore $50,000 was secured , arn the same as In the procou- Ing robberies the number of masked men , the taking back and placing umtor guard ol the engineer anu tirornau , the use of dynamite - mite In fo'rclng the express cur and safe open and the wagon In waiting. It la an accepted theory of uion experienced in the hunt for criminals a thuory berne nut bv experience that there Is a striking dis- fliimlnrlty In the motnods of gangs engaired in the same line of crime and u romnrkablo similarity In the different jobs done by ono gang that is , each gang has certain pecu liarities of motuod. I'cuiillnritluH of thn Siinpocts. "Paady" Kavannugh , "Kid" McWiliiams and the "Cyclono" nro notorious and danger ous safe blowers. Kavanuugh Is known as "tho priest , " having been educated for the clenrj'i and is acquainted with the locality. IIo has served a time at Jolict , but the "Kid" nnd "Cyclono" have never been caught. The men have not been seen for some tlmo and nro supposed to bo what Is technically Known as "unuorcovor ; " that is. in hiding somo- , where. The change or the plan of work which | , i the detectives have been following , it is ' * thought , will result in developments before long. Captain Warner , special agent of the American Express company , said this mornIng - Ing when nsked if ho thought the throb rob beries were the work of the sumo sot of men , "No , I do not. I do think the same gang did the Omaha aim St. Louis Jobs , uo.vovar. Wo have dues stacked upon clues and I got letters'from all ever the country wanting mo to coma and identify persons .supposed to OH the robbers. 1 throw letter upon letter in thowasto basket. I think the holt ! up at Kacino was done by two men who were desperate , although Jhe engineer said when ho saw the gun at his head ho thought there were fllty. That story of the wagon In waiting originated from a farmer's report that a horse with harness on and bearing marks of hard driving ran into a barnyard some distance from the robbery on the morning that It oc curred. I thing tha Haclne affair was an in dependent job because I think only two men wore in It , but I think the same persons per petrated the Omaha and St. Louis robberies because tlioy nro identical. " Mr. Hlnzlo has several clues upon whicli ho is working and which may develop some thing. on * the Sparrows. Under the now law which wont Into effect December 1 , giving a bounty of cents for tbo head of each English sparrow killed in tha state , the slaughter of thu llltlo birds has boon Inaugurated with vigor. The sparrow man in tbo county cleric's ottlcc look lu 1,573 heads yostoiday. Ono man came In In the morning with 11)7 ) live sparrows. "Pull off their heads nnd bring these In , " ald the clerk ; "we don't want the carcasses - , cassos , " adding laughingly , "you might sell thorn. " The man went out and came back later In Ihu day with 107 sparrow Heads and scoured " bin voucher. As bo wai leaving Iho oQlco he romanced with n wink : "I made $ P by that tip of your'u about soiling them carcasses. Sold 'om for rood birds. " Several objections have boon made to tbo now method of exterminating tbo sparrows , The most notublo one was thutmado by John Q. Shortall , prostdont of the Illinois Humana society. "Tho law Is educationally vicious , " ho sold. "It sots a lot of children to work to rtavlso the destruction ol innocent living creatures. I don't car a so much for the fiuarrow.s , though that H bad enough , but no one who has the interests of the coming gen eration at ho.irt can fall to vlow with alarm this new method of educating children to take pleasure In destruction and murder. Moreover. It causes great danger to life and property to arm the children for this Inhu man warfare. The oxtormln ition ought to bo lu the hands of officials designated for the purpose. I am considering some plan by which to enjoin the city clorn from paying the bounty. Dentil of Consul Bonrlln. Louis Doorlin , the Swiss consul In this city , dlod yesterday aftnrnoon.

It appears that she has neglected her reputation for strict in tegrity since she commenced to brcatho the exhilarating mountain nirof Colorado and yesterday she was arrnstod nnd bound ever on thirteen separate counts of obtaining money and goods by means of worthless checks. Her plan of operation was to till out a chock with tbo name of some woman who existed only In her own vivid Imagination , signed apparently by the woman's husband. She would then call at n store and purchase a bill of coeds , presenting the chock in pay ment. She was successful in every case and thirteen nrms were victimized In amounts from $15 to Sil before her peculiar financial methods wore suspected. When arraigned she entered a pica of guilty. She is the daughter of Squlro Bla/ior of this city and ho loels her disgrace keenly. State To.tuhors Association.
