The fifth conference of the Omaha Sunda
School association was held last night a
the First Congregational schurch. Thcr
was a coed attendance. The tncetlnc wn
opened by Silas Cobb , vvho explained tha
President Wallace was confined to his bei
and unable to ho mcscnt ,
Hev. A. Holdcn Byles , D. D , of RnglanJ
was the first speaker , his topic being "Tli
Sunday School from an Hngllah Point o
View. "
He said It was about fifty years s nee h
first became a Sunday school scholar It
England and he had been actively Identlfiei
with the work c\cr tlnco. His work In tha
line had been In England , with the cxccptlot
of two years , which he- spent In Berlin uhll
In attendance at the university there , bu
even there his work In the Sunday sclioo
was continued , he having assisted In start
Ing a Sunday tchool there. He said he uscc
to have a strong Interest In the American
Sunday school and Intended coming to thl
country several years ago , but was unabl
to arrange his affairs BO as to do so untl
about a year ago , when he came with th
Intcnt'on ' of remaining six months , but hai
bscn detained longer than he originally In
tcndtd.
.During his stay here the speaker said ho
had given a great deal cf attent'on to the
Sunday school j > stem and he was ( struck
most forcibly with the broad differences be
tween this country and his rat've lind.
"In England , " ho said , " \vo have fewe
carpets and more clats rooms. In my owi
school we had twenty-eight class rooms , li
addition to two largs lecture rooms , am
Just before I came away It was found neces
sary to build more class rooms. The systcn
of having clasees In separate rooms has been
found to be the best. By having all the
class.es In ono large room the attention o
ono class Is attracted to what Is going 01
In another class , and It Is Impossible to ac
compllsh good results In this way. I fini
In this country that large classse are strongly
objected to , but with us largo classes are
not found objectionable. When wo find a
good teacher , a godly man who has an In
terest In his work , wo think It advisable to
give him a large class.
GIVE IT MORE TIME.
"Another difference I find Is this : W
give more tlmo to Sunday schools than yo
do here. AVe have a morning and an after
noon session. We do not push our Sunda ;
school off Into a corner , but give a great dea
of attention to that work. In my owi
church we have a school of 400 young mei
and women , besides a class of 100 working
men. Besides that , wo have a meeting litho
the afternoon especially for vvorklngmen , a
which 1,200 men attend every Sunday. Thl
meeting Is managed by the young men o
the blblo class. Our Sunday schools nice
In the mornings from 9:30 : to 10:45 : , and I
the afternoons from 2 to .1.30 o'clock. Th
doors are closed when the time for the meet
Ing arrive ? and all who are not prompt ar
shut out. We gve prizes to all who ar
punctual In attendanceat every meeting c
the year , and Just before I came away
distributed 280 such prl/cs to pupils wh
I'ad not missed a meeting during the jear.
"Another very radical difference which
have noticed Is that with us at least four
fifths of the hcholars are children vvhos
parents never como to church. It Is oxcep
tlonal to- the children of Christian parent
to come to Sunday ecltcol. I have alway
been in favor of the idea of Children of Chris
tlan parents being taught at hcme.
"I have been told by a minister In Omali
that only about 13 per cent of the children c
sliool age attend Sunday school In Englaw
at least 95 per cent of our children of s-c'noc
age attend Sunday school. They may not b
regular In their attendance , but they are o :
the books cf ODino Sunday school.
"I admit that jour system of day school
here Is superior to o'irs , but wo have ncarl ;
aa fine graded schco'a as > oj have , and w
have a compuliory law which requires tha
all children of school ago shall atterid da ;
school , but , notwlthy nmllng tiat law and It
reasonable enforcement , we hive found tha
we have 12,000 moro children In our Sunda :
schools than we have In our1 day schools.
"Wo also differ from jou In that we hav
the bible taught In our day schools by Chris
tlan teache s. I had always been In favor o
recular education In the schools and was ai
art'ent smpporter of the American system , bu
slnco I came here I have changed my mind
If there Is nri Christian education In tin
day schools the work of the Sunday tcboo
should be ex'enJed.
"Another point of difference IB that wi
have quarterly meetings. ' for the tcache-e ii
our Sunday schools. These meetings las
from C until 10 p. m. , and the pastora , dea
cone and teachers meet together and havi
mutual conference and prayer with referenci
to Sunday school work. Wo also have weekl ;
meetings for the teachers , for the dlscussloi
of Sunday school topics , etc.
CLOSELY ALLIED TO THC CHUIICH.
"In England wo always have the closes
connection between the church and the Sun
day school. The Sunday school IB the rocl
which forms the foundation of the church
Veil might au well attempt to build a housi
without a foundation as to build a cliurcl
without a Sunday school. You may get together
gother a congregation by means of a populai
preacher , or , what Feeins a not unusua
method In w intern cltlc : > , by means of a pop
ular uiiigcr , only to find the whole thlnf
blown to the wind ? . But I have known :
church to be held together without a pautoi
solely by reason of the Sunday tchool.
"I favor the Idea of the teachers nominal-
ng the superintendent , but he should be
ippolntcd by the church , New teacher ! :
ihould also be named at a church meeting ,
> o that all may know who the teachers are.
I'eacheiH bhould bo ordained and sent forth
Uth pra > era and the sympathy cf the church ,
They should feel that they are called by
3od and ordained to God's work. Unless the
eaclier feels that she U teaching as a means
if bringing souls to Christ , the teaching Is
i farce. "
At the close of the address several < | uen-
Ions were asked Dr. Hyles by different
> nes in the audience , bringing out more
ilearly some of the points touched upon.
Superintendent Glllan cf the Walnut Hill
> ! ethodbt ! churcircalled attent'on to the fact
hat a recent count had Blmun that there
ire about 30,000 children ot school age In
ho city , and about 0,000 In attendance at the
arlous Sunday Schools , making about 20
> er cent Instead of 13 per cent , mentioned
< y Mr. By lea.
The meeting was then divided Into ( our
ections and each assembled In different
oonu to discuss topics of particular Interest
D each section. The section of superintend-
nts was under the leadership of T. C , Wai-
ice of Hillside Congregational church ; the
tlble class section was under Ir , Ilylea ; the
iitermcdlato teachers under Mies Irene Sim-
icns of Beth-Eden Baptist , and the primary
eachera under Mrs , 1' . L. I'errlne of the

bo charged with robbing * graven In Mount
Hope cemetery. The prisoner lnsdste.1 that
his name wan Smith and not Clajcomb ,
despite the fact that he , baa been positively
Identified as Claycomb.
Clajcomb had positively nothing to ay
regarding the crime ectccpt to deny It. On
his trip to tills city steadfastly persisted
that ho had nothing to do with the grave
robbery. He was charged with having sent
the trunks to DCS Molnes and with receiving
them , but ho denied each and every allega
tion.
tion."I tell jou that they have got the wrong
man , " ho mid.
"What were you doing In Ics Molnes , "
was asked ,
"Well , that's my buslners , " he responded ,
In reply to the sime question , which
Dfftectlve Cox propounded to him on tbo
train , ho stated that he had gone to DCS
Molncsi to find work. Ho said that he was
utuble to find emplovmcnt In Omaha and
con ciiuertly had gone to other fields.
"Did you send the trunks from Council
Bluffs ? " was asked.
"No. I did not , " rtspsndcd Claycomb , "I
don't know nnj thing about the trunks ? "
Ho In the same mannsr denied knowledge
of any of the facts that hive been discovered
In connection with the desecration of the
graves. The denials were TO poiltlvo that
Detective Cox finally gave up any further
attempt to elicit Information from him. He
assumed tha name attitude to other ques
tioners.
"I have nothing to say , " ho remarked ,
and this wa all tint could b obtained from
him , except that he would make a denial
tthen ho was arraigned In court. He would
confess nothing.
Claycomb was taken from the train and
was at once convc > ed to the city Jail In the
patrol wagon. Although It had not been
announced when he would arrive , there was
i considerable crowd In the depot who gath
ered about him. A majority of the ob
servers gared upon him with an expression
3f aversion and he.IH compelled to listen
to n good many remarks that would hive

Ho apparently paid little attention to them.
At the Jail Claycomb wat bookcl with th"
charge of opening a grave and taking a dsad
boJy therefrom. This was tba charge In
the requisition papers , and It was thought
best to put the exact wording opposite his
name.
Clajcomb Is a man some five feet ten or
cloven Inches In height. Ho Is Dhabblly
dressed. Ills face Is covered with a beird
of several dajs' growth and he wears a mus
tache.
The larger of the two trunks has been
Identified by police officers ao the one tint
was found In Chj comb's house at Thirty-
fifth and Jackson sheets at the time when
lie was airested as a member ot the so-called
Bruton gang. The gang was suspected ol
doing a lot of thieving in the city and siur-
roundlng country and Claycomb's house was
searched for stolen property. The trunk
was found In a back room , and contained a
number ot pairs of shoes , which weie Identi
fied as having been stolen from a &tore near
Calhoun. C'aycamb tlicn said that the trunk
belonged to Steve Hall' ' , ono of the other mem
bers of the gang. It was allowed to re
main In Claycomb's house after bis arrest.
Early yesterday the bodies of Mrs.
Larsen and Jacob Helln , stolen from Mount
Hope cemetery , arrived at the union depot.
They were encased Inlthe i > amo caskets which
contained them when they were In the
ground. Th2 cirtnshad'been forwarded to
Des Molnos. They are consigned to Detec
tive Cox and will ba held'by the police un'll
the bod'es have been Identified and will
then be turned over to the cemetery author
ities , or to the relative * .
Accompanying the 'coffins were the. two
trunks In which the-'bodtes were shipped to
DCS Molnes. These were objects of con
siderate Interest to depot emplojes and
loiterers. Both trunks arp small and It
appears as 1f the grave robbers must have
bad considerable , dlfflculty In blowing the
bodies within ithem.Oncnls'a particularly
small and narrow box. It Js but a few Inches
over two feat In length and Is narrow and
shallow , anil'lias a flat top. It is black. The

It Is In a sad otato of delapldatlon. Half
of the original bottom Is gone and the gap
Is covered with boards , roughly nalle.l on
Both trunks are marked with streaks of

FREMONT. Feb. 25 ( Special. ) Stanley
Claycomb , who was arrested in Iowa for
grave robbing , formerly resided In Fremont
He d'd rot have the appearance cf being
a laboring man and had no occuprtlon or
visible means * of support. He associated with
a gang of men who were convjcted four year
ago of breaking Into freight cars and left
town about the tlmo of their trials. One
peculiar thing about b'm was that he was
around town afternoons and evenings , but
never In the forenoon. His neighbors re
garded h'm with suspicion. He has not
been around here much for the past three

J. A , Hake , one of the members of the
executive committee of the National L'vo
Stock exchange , returned from Washington
yesterday , where ho went with eight other
members of the executive committee to con
fer with the secretary of agriculture on the
icccntly promulgated quar.milnc orders. A
shott time ago Secretary Morton Issued or
ders , which virtually quarantined the whole
of Texas , Oklahoma and the Indian Terri
tory. This order worked n hardship upon
Montana , Wyom ng , Idaho , Utah and Ne
braska cattlemen , as It has been the custom
of stockmen to visit Texas about this time of
Iho year end purchase feeders , The commit
tee had sxjxcral confurences with Secretary
Morton , who state < l that If the people of
Texas ) would guarantee that no cattle allllctcd
with fever or other disease would be shipped
north he was willing to go back to the
iiuarantlno line of 1S95. A telegram was
sent to th ? governor of Texas stating the case
and a reply was received from the governor
stating that ho and the State Sanitary board
had fixed the Texas state quarantine for the
3iirrent year to agree with the federal qtur-
Jiitlno line of IS95 and had adopted rules
i nd regulations for the maintenance of the
same In accordance with the federal regula
tions. Secretary Morton. Indicated to the
2ommlttce that upon receipt of documentary
avldenco confirming the governor's telegram
lie would change the present quarantine line
lo conform to the Texas state line , which
Aould place both lines at exactly the same
> olnt the federal line occupied during the
season of 1S95.
The 1S93 line commenced at El I'aso and
ran In a southeasterly direction along the
Rio Grande to the twenty-ninth larallcl ,
thence northeasterly to the Arkansas border ,
thus leaving cut the Panhandle ot Texas
and the western part of Oklahoma. This
section , wli'c1 ! the now orders will leave
"pen , Is full of cattle and hundreds of head
are shipped north from that locality every
year , especially at this time , wh n the move
ment of westerns Is light. The Texas cattle
which are not sent to the range for feeders
are used by the packing houses as canners.
The committee also called upoT the house
committee on ways and meano and made
some statements concerning the embargoes
en American beef placed by Germany nnO
Belgium. Mr. Hake said that the committee
llb'cned ' attentively to the statements made
and appeared tc > be Interested In the matter ,
Figures were produced by the live stock men
show In ? the dccreafe In cattle shipments
it'nco the embargo and also the number ol
head shipped before the embargo was placed.
The senate committee on agriculture Is als > :

eign countries on American meat food prol-
ucta and appears to take c nslderable In

the committee that the tcimte would do all
In ltd power to remove the embargoes , o" In
the event of failure In that line , to bring
such foreign countries to time by excluding
their exports frcm this , country until such
tlmo au they wculd receive American live
