DEED OVERLOOKED BY THE LAWMAKERS AVhnt Can lie Done to I'll ill nh the .iudiii'lmiN Klilmipors If Apprc IlfllllCll ii .tloM l'lir. r.llllK l'rolileni. If tho men who nbductcd young Edward Cuduhy, Jr., had Investigated tho condi tions of tho caso In ndvanco they could not liavo put up u Job so desperato that en tailed so llttlo risk of punishment. What can they do with tho kidnapers If they aro caught? Is tho question nsked on ovory side. The answer Is that thoy will probably como off very easily, because theru Is no section of tho criminal codo of Nebraska that Ills adequate penalty to tho crime. Thoro Is nn offenso known as "kidnap ing" In our criminal statutes, which car ries with It a penitentiary sentence, on conviction, ranging from two to soven years, but It applies only to kidnaping with tho Intention of carrying tho victim outside of tho state. Tho clause, which Is section 18 of thu criminal code, rends as follows: Any person or persons who shall kldnnp or forcibly or fraudulently carry olT or decoy out of this statu an person or per sons or shall arrest or Imprison any per son or persons with tho Intention of having such person or persons carried out of tint state, unless It bo In pursuance- of tho laws thereof, shall bo conllned In thu peniten tiary not less than threo nor more than hovpn years, and shall, moreover, bo liable for tint costs of prosecution. Manifestly It would bo Impossible to provo that tho abductors of young Cudnhy carried him out of tho state, bocnuso so far as Is known they merely took him to n point southwest of South Omaha, nnd if they had any Intention of enrrylng him out of tho stutn they did nothing to fur nish tangible ovldenco of It. .l Chilli MKmiIIiik. Another penitentiary offeuso defined by tho Nebraska criminal codo Is that of "child- stealing," but this section, too, seems to havo no application to tho present Instnnce, because It refers only to stealing children undor 10 years of age, while young Cudnhy Is already 15. Tho wording of this section of tho codo Is: Every person who shall maliciously of forcibly or fraudulently lead, take or carrv -ii way, or decoy or entlco away, any child under tho ago of 10 years with Intent un lawfully to detain or conceal filch child from Its parent or parents or guardlin. or other person having tho lawful charge i f such child, shall be Imprisoned In tho peni tentiary not more than seven years nor less than ono year. Tho suggestion has been made that the kidnapers might bo held on tho charge of lovylug blackmail, Inasmuch ns they used their possession of young Cudnhy ns n means of oxtortlng money from his fattier, but nothing In tho Nebraska stntutcs covers this phase of It Tho crime of extortion, as dellned In tho law, enn bo committed only by public oraccrs, whllo It would bo dllllcult to innko n complaint stick for obtaining money under false pretenses, becauso tho kidnapers mado no falso pretenses, but on the contrary performed overy part of tho promises thoy held out. So far as can bo ascertained by tho police In tho examination of tho law the only chnrgo which can bo successfully brought ngalnst thu perpetrators of this outrage Is that of false Imprisonment, which Is not a crime, but merely a ralsdemcunor, subject to lino nnd Jail sontenco only. Tho statute on false Imprisonment rends: Kalso Imprisonment Is the unlawful viola tion of the nersonal llbertv of another nnd consists In conllnement or detention without sulllcient legal authority. Any person con victed of false Imprisonment shall bit lined In any sum nut exceeding JM or Im prisoned not exceeding o .o yenr la tho county Jail. Krom this it will bo seen that tho prob lem what to do with tho kldnapors after they aro caught is almost as much of a puzzler ns the problem of fixing tho Identity cf tho kidnapers, so that tho nmbltlous aspirants for tho $25,000 reward offered by Mr. Cudahy for conviction havo no easy tnsk before them.

Tho Christmas rush has begun at tho postoiQco nnd the enrriers nre loaded down with presents which nre being transmitted ficra ono end of the land to unothcr. ,Kor several days theso goods huvo been received In Increasing quantities. Tho rulo Is that tho goods from tho most remoto parts of tho earth reach their destination first, and tho earlier Christmas mall is mostly for eign. Yesterday practically tho first consign or ent of tho domestic Christmas mall began to nrrlvo and tho distributing room In tho carriers' quarters began to take on tho look of tho bundle room of a prosperous de partment store, with parcels of every con ceivable shape and appearanco piled all around. Tho big rush of outgoing mall will bo at Its height today. Tho Christmas mall U an annual bugbear for tho postal clerks and postmasters of tho ccuntry, and preparations for handling It nre made two months In advance. Thoro Is a rulo which requires all sacks In excess of a certain number to bo sent to storngo quarters, but In Omnha and other largo cities In consideration of tho Increased holiday business tho sacks nnd pouches aro permitted to accumulate for a mouth or more to bo used In carrying out Christmas mall, Tho Incoming malls bring additional sacks and pouches, but at no tlmo would there be enough on band It tho office were compelled to depend upon theso alone, for tho reason that tho outgoing packages start beforo tho henvy mall for tho city arrives. At this tlmo the postman experiences tho effects of the recent chnngo In tho law reg ulating his time. Under the old law he could work but eight hours n day whllo un der the present regulations many of them aro working ten hours, nnd then havo to hurry to deliver tho packages taken by them from tho office. With all of tho hurry and rush of tho holiday malls thoy aro less troublesome than those which pass through tho olUco during a presidential campaign, for whllo there Is a much larger bulk to tho former they do not comparo In wolght with tho tons of literature which aro quadrcnnlnlly ad dressed to tho voters of tho land, and thero Is a spirit of good will and Yuletldo In tho I work which appeals to the carriers and mis it atovo tho humdrum drudgery of every day affairs.
