WANTED IN MANY PLACES Officers Get Hold of n M n with Bccorils in Beveral States , PATRICK CROWE FINALLY LANDS IN JAIL A Young Alan Well Known In Till * fit- , Who llnd Committed Numcroui Crimes , ttnfcljr Hclilml tlio Jlnm ot steel. Pat Crowe , a young man \vcll known In llils city and South Omaha , and who bore a good reputation unlit a. few years ago , was recently arrested In Milwaukee and Thurs day was taken to St. Joseph , where ho Is wanted on the charge of train robbery , It being alleged that he was the ringleader of the gang of train robbers that held up ncvcral trains a short distance from St. Joseph. Crowe Is also wanted In Denver nnd Iowa for burglary , grand larceny and highway robbery. Ever since the robbery of the Burlington passenger train near St. Joseph last fall detectives have been searching for the rob bers , and some , tlino ago suspicion was nt- tached to I'at Crowe. Ills description was sent all over the country , and one day this wqtk ho was captured by Milwaukee oin- cers. cers.Crowo Is alleged to have been In St. Joseph last winter about the time the train robberies occurred on the Burlington lines near that city. While there he passed under the name of Frank Johnson , which Is the alias he Is most generally known by In the various states. The train robberies In which Crowo Is supposed to be Implicated or has knowledge of were committed last January. A reward of $2,500 $ was offered by the Burlington road for the arrest and conUctlon of these en gaged In these robberies. It has been re ported that the robbers made n big haul , and this Is given as the reason why the officials of that road have made the most persistent efforts to run the robbers down. Patrick Crowe , alias Franlc Johnson , alias Martin , Is about 28 years ot age. The offi cers rcpo-t him to be one of the most notor ious crooks In the west , and the fact that he Is now wanted In two other states for grave crimes gives credence to the allega tion. About two years ago he got Into a row In Cora Watson's place , a notorious dive In Chicago , and killed the woman he was quarreling with. Two policemen , who attempted to arrest him , were shot and Crowo made his escape. He Is wanted In Iowa for robbing a railway station In that state about a year and a half ago. About a year ago he robbed Chapln's Jewelry store at Denver of three fine diamonds mends valued at ? 500 , nnd this Is why he Is wanted there on a requisition. When the Burlington people made a request that Crowo be a'lowed to go to Missouri first Governor Walte wired Governor I'eck to let the prisoner BO to Governor Stone , with the understanding that Colorado shall have him after they get through with him In Mis souri , His robbery of Chapln's Jewelry store , about a year ago , will bo remembered as ono of the boldest affairs ever committed In Denver. Ho walked Into the store and asked to look at some diamonds , selected three large ones , he went to the door to examine them and then bolted with all three of them. Crowo Is a fine looking young man , about five feet , olght Inches tall , and weighs about 3CO pounds , his face Is smooth shaven , with the exception of a mustache of three or four weeks' growth. He has black hair and Is withal a flno looking and Intelligent appearing fellow. Ho was neatly dressed. There Is a variety of stories as to how Crowo came to be arrested at Milwaukee. Some state that he was run In on the charge of vagrancy , another Is that he was knocked over pn the streets by a detective who had been following hm | and going about In his company , and "by thisInethod he .was cap- , tu'red. When taken to the police station In Milwaukee ho was. found to be heavily armed : Americans are growing more athletic by using good food. Dr. Price's Baking Powder makes the best. CITY HOLDS THE SACK. That' * What Iftts Happened In Ilepnlrlnc the Sixteenth Street Viaduct. Under the law the railroads -are liable for the cost of maintaining viaducts over their tracks. In case of the Sixteenth street viaduct an amicable arrangement was made after three months of negotiation with the railroad companies , by which they were to pay eight-fifteenths , or a llttlo over ono- half , of the cxpenso Involved In the con templated repairs. A llttlo Judicious man agement has assisted xhem still further , how ever , and the result has been that the re pairs have cost the taxpayers more than both thu railroads combined. It was early hi the spring of 1892 that an ordinance declaring the necessity _ of con structing a new and modern viaduct to re place the wooden affair \ > as passed by the city council. At that tlrno City Engineer Ilosewatcr said that It only cost $30,000 In the first place and had merely been Intended ns a temporary structure. It was not In tended to carry even horse cars , and , al though It might bo strengthened , It was not a. structure that the tralllc on that street demanded. Although the ordinance was passed by the council the old wooden viaduct Is still In the Ting and Is now declared to be safe for several years to come. It has been propped up and feplanked and the city Is paying inora than one-third of the entire expense Involved. When the present council decided that It would not be advisable to try to compel the railroads to build a new viaduct the com mittee on viaducts and railroads was In structed to confer with the railroad olllclaU and find out what they would do toward payIng - Ing for the necfisary repairs. At that time It was estimated that the repairs would cost about $5,000 and the negotiations with the railroads were on that basis. An agree ment wns finally reached and ratified , by which It was decided that the Union Pacific should pay six-fifteenths , the Burlington two- fifteenths , the btrcct railway company five- fifteenths and the city two-fifteenths. Ac- conllng to this agreement the Union Pacific's almre ot the expense would bo $2,000 , the Burlington J66C.G7 , the street railway com pany $1CU5.C7 , leaving JCCC.CC to be paid by the city. This was apparently a fair agreement , but scon after the contract had been let It was discovered that It would also be necessary to rcplank the surface of the structure. As this had not been Included In the agreement with the corporations It had to be done at ( ho expense of the city. The entire cost of the repairs up to date has been $6,304.33 , and ot the council meeting Tuesday night It was decided to replank the sidewalks and repair the guard rails at an additional cost ot $900. This will also have to be done by the city. Taking these figures Into consideration It Is Been that the two railroads will together contribute $2,000,67 to the fund , the street railway company $1GCO.G7 and the city 2,871. < M. o llAUYKbT UXCUUMONS SOUTH.

V'hen Seagraves gnvo the mortgage to the Omaha firm he went to see the local agent of the company at Council Bluffs and asked ilm If the giving of the mortgage would In validate his Insurance.

To the Editor of The Dee : In the editorial columns of The Omaha Dee of November 22 we notice an article reading as follows : "Traveling men may now carry excess baggage at the old rates. This means that the cost of carrying overweight will continue to be paid In two parts , the sums paid as tips to the baggagemen and welghmasters equaling If not exceeding those that go Into iho railway company's coffers. " What do you mean by the above ? Do you Infer that all traveling men or any portion of them are In league with the bag gagemen of all railroad ? with the Intention on the part of the traveling men to defraud their employers , as well as railroad employes to defraud their respective companies ? Signed by ten traveling men at Grand , Island this date. ( Note by the Editor : Not at-all although It would be senseless to deny that there Is an occasional black sheep among the travel ing men , as among the railway employes , and ns among men In other occupations. The paragraph In question was Intended to con vey the meaning that as the tips became larger and the excess baggage charges for short distances became smaller the former tended to equal the latter. It Is notorious that the tip system Is almost universal with traveling men. They want quick service and effective service , and are willing to pay for extra exertions on the part ot the bag gagemen. In most cases they get all they pay for. There Is no Intimation of any In tentlon to defraud , ) The emperor of Germany likes apple cakp He prefers It made with Dr. Price's Daklni Powder. Day.

" Mr. Hagan , the manager , has learned by ex perience that cli er comedians and pretty women are Important factors In making the popularity of a production ot this character. His principals art * nil good , and the balance of the company Is composed of pretty women and capable perfftrmers , such as Nelly llosp- bud , Beatrice Qoldlp , Charles Durkc , Barney Reynolds , Martin O'Neill , Jlinmlo Carroll. William H. Murphy , Harry Putnam , Leonard Somors , Fred Reynolds , Nichols Sisters , Ida Morclaml and others. This production Is to be the Thanksgiving week attraction nt the Fifteenth Street theater , commencing with Sunday matinee , November 25. A ppeclal matinee will be given Thanksgiv ing day , November 29. The final performances of "Aladdin , Jr. , " by Henderson's American Extravaganza com pany will be given at Do > d's theater today. Thcro will be a matlneo In the afternoon ot popular prices , and the evening performance will wind up what has been a brief but phe nomenal engagement. The house last night was again crowded to the doors with an audi ence who witnessed the most gorgeous collec tion of pictures that has over been seen upon the stage of this theater. As In all of Hen derson's pieces there Is an abundance of feat- urea to entertain the children. There Is the Grand Amber ballet , which has never been equalled ; there Is the Ebony Palace , and the grand transformation scene , "Tho Origin of the Harp , " based upon Tom Moore's poem of like name. Friends of art will rejoice In the return to Omaha oF Mr. and Mrs. Kendal nnd their In teresting company. Agreeable evenings spent with Mr. and Mrs. Kendal In the service of meritorious and meaningful plays have en deared them to refined theater-goers , and given them a respected place In the regard of an even less fastidious public. The Kemlnls have done the stage an Incalculable benefit through their reflnlng Influence. All that tends to cevato ! the sentiment of the matses , to Instill gentle precepts aiul ' . " arouse a taste for refined enjoyment tends to educate people up to the appreciation of high efforts In any direction. Since flvc.years ago , when Mr. and Mrs. Kendal first visited this country , they have , as most playgoers are aware , achieved on the occasion of their four Amer ican engagements a success that , whether regarded from an artistic or pecuniary point of view , can only bo described as phenomenal. With a unanimity as striking as It Is gratify. Ing the press and the public of the United States at once recognized In the Impersona tions of Mr. and Mrs. Kendal the very per fection of dramatic art , and their extraordi nary reception of sustained success are among the most noteworthy events In the history of the modern stage. Mr. and Mrs. Kendal , during their engagement at Doyd's theater , will appear In their new play , "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray , " the latest and probably strongest ono that Us distinguished author , Plncro , has yet written , the leading critics of London , New York nnd Chicago having praised Its construction nnd treatment of theme with a prodigality unusual to conserv ative writers. Of the production by the Kendals , the more fact of Its time being 'extended in New York , Hoston and Chicago beyond what was origin ally Intended in order to meet the demand for seats , tells a splalner story than words could of success. On Tuesday for their farewell performance In this city Mr. and. . Mrs. Kendal will offer Tom Taylor's famous play , "Still Waters Run Deep. " Thaiplay Is clever , the dialogue eplgramatlo , the prime characters strong. The sale of seats Will open at 9 o'clock this morning. Robert Gaylor icomeso back to us for a limited engagement with an entire new edi tion of "Sporti.McAlllster , One of the 400. " The action of thte ptaytakes place In New- York City , and depicts In very vivid colors the Celtic politicians- and society In the metropolis. The plot deals particularly with political life. "Sport" Is nominated for sheriff by the democrats , Dennis McGlnty as the republican candidate. The most amusing situations arise from the rivalry be tween the two candidates and their adherents The piece Is an admirable medium for thn Introduction of songs , dances and prlvaln theatricals.

At 12 o'clock word was received at the police station that grave robbers were at work in the cemefery and a police wagon with several officers drove to the scene. A search of the grounds was made , but no signs of the robbers were to be found. The party started back , but were stopped a few- blocks from the cemeteiy by a man who said ho could guhle them to the right place. He led the party to the eastern outskirts of the cemetery. They found n man sitting in n buggy on the east side , but on going to the place where the men had been digging they found the robbers had fled , but had left traces of thalr work. The man In the buggy gave the names ot the students whom ho had driven to the cemetery and they were all arrested and lodged In Jail , but subsequently released on bond. * The United States I Official Investigation of I Baking Powders , Made under authority of the Congress by Chief Chemist of of the RO I A L Powder Department Agri culture , Washingto be a cream of tartar baking pow- ton , D.

To the Editor of The Dee : I observe the remarks of The Dee upon the power of the secretary to Issue bolide to maintain redemption of treasury notes. I recall the discussions when the bill was passed , and the purchase of the gold by Mr. Sherman. The Dee Is clearly right as. to the power of the secretary and the amplitude of his discretion. There Is no law requiring any specific sum to be held for redemption of the greenbacks. Mr. Sher man , In his discretion , thought one hundred million of coin enough. If he had bought three hundred million Instead he would prob ably have been sustained by his party. Severe criticisms were made upon him by Senator Pendleton , Tom Ewlng and many others for drawing so large a sum from the channels of business when gold was so scarce. Now , Mr. Carlisle has clearly the same un restrained discretion. Ho can pay out the entire reserve , or he can add to It at will. This Is the view he takes of It , and he Is clearly right. The various points raised and objections urged as to the disposition of the money from the sale of bonds can have no practical force In the absence of a law of congress fixing definitely a specific reserve fund. Out a. grave criticism seems to be against the practice of the treasury In one particu lar. It has been constantly assumed for twelve years past ( except , perhaps , during Mr. Wlndom's second term under President Harrison ) that gold coin must be paid to the public creditor. Thcro is no law to support this practice. Every form of paper not specifically payable In , gold coin can be paid In sliver as well , at the option of the government. The possession of this option by the secre tary of the treasury U a protection against raids upon him for gold coin. At a time like this , when speculative demands are made , Iu It a loyal act for an executive ofllcer to sur render the advantage with which the law has clothed him ? I am not an advocate of free coinage of either gold or silver , but It seems clear that the advantage of the option should be reso lutely maintained. Nobody wants to re deem greenbacks , except the dealers In gold , mostly for speculative purposes. Neither the credit nor prosperity of the country would suffer by paying out the silver. It could not be a matter of Just complaint by any one. and It might relieve the situation and pre vail the need of adding to the burdens of the people by bond Uiuei. Uiuei.EDWARD EDWARD DANIELS.
