- Increasing work, Mrs. Emma F. Byers,
general secretary of the local association,
has spent a considerable part of her raca
s ttoa during the last six weeks Inspecting
, and Investigating the large and more. com
plete association buildings of th. east, es
pecially the newer onea, that the locaV
organization may profit by all of the Im
provements and modern equipment In use,
also by any mistakes .that have been proven
by experience. ' when final plans ar. drawn
; tor its building.
Sprung from a modest beginning, th. local
work has aasumsd such proportions that, a
building for Its exclusive us. has become
a necessity and as this necessity has be
come recognized to such an extent that the
business men and other interested citizens
of Omaha have expressed their willingness
to lend the necessary support to such an
enterprise, Mrs. Byers has, for the benettt
of thee, and all others Interested, written
the following letter that they may esti
mate th. status of association work In other
cities and better understand Its needs at
Soma. '

Writing to Th. Be. from Milwaukee, Mrs.
Byers says:
- "The rapidly Increasing Interest In the
sjrork of the Young Women's Christian as
sociation of Omaha suggests the presenta
tion of a few faots which I think will be
appreciated by msny of your readers.
"In this axe, when ibe number of self
supporting women is Increasing every year,
th. need of the Young Women's Christian
association In all large cities hsa become
geasrally recognized snd.ln most cities 'of
60,000 population and over there may be
found associations In greater or less de
gree of efficiency. That your readers may
aot misunderstand the real work of our
organization, I wlah to state that the
Young Women's Christian association Is la
ao wis. responsible tor th. lsrge number
f women who today seek to car. for them
selves, but while believing that In most
eases the home lit. Is th. Ideal on. for
women, seek, to meet the need of th. sge
and make home life and rest for many la

TROUBLES TOLD THE POLICE
What tht De.lt Sergeant Has to Listen To
During the Day.
FREAKS WHO VISIT THE CENTRAL STATION
Patsy Haver Tolls of Some' of the
. Thlnars He Eneoaatera Darlna
Hi. Hoar, oa "Watch
at City Jail.
Desk Serges nt "Patsy" Havey, who has
spent more years on the Omaha police fore,
than h. will anywhere else, save In eternity.
Is authority for the. statement that the po
lice station hears more strange requests
and listen to more stories that do not
com. under th. jurisdiction of th. pollc.
than any plac. In the world. Th. Informa
tion waa volunteered after this little Inci
dent. "I'd Ilk. to get IS on thia watch," said a
man of average appearance, as be handed
up an open face silver timepiece to the
sergeant. "I spent more money than I
could afford and haven't enough to get
home on."
And here's what "Patsy does to keep
from going wild when such requests ar.
mads: Hs took th. watch and carefully
examined It, opened the back and looked
at the works, listened to It tick, asked th.
price, what It coat, how long the man had
it and about a thousand and one other ques
tions; and here's what ho said:
"Well. It 'you want to get $3 oa that
watch I guess you had better take It to a
pawnshop. What do you com. her. with
It fort This is th. pollc. station."
, Th. man did not attempt to conceal his
look of surprise when bo learned that th.
safe at th. pollc. station was pot full of
money for Just such emergencies.
Freak. All Ua4 The..
.."FreaksT" said th. sergeant, "the woods
are fall of them, and all that get out come
In here, and those that don' com. la send
In. For twenty years I have don. nothing
more strenuous than being a police officer,
and before the bloom of youth is oft my
face I am getting gray. And aom. of th.
stories w. listen to, If they war. not so
funny and ridiculous, would drive a man to
drink.
"Just th. other night a man called up
and said his wlf. had glveo birth to a glrL
I took his name and address and said I'd
send th. w agon for It it It created any dis
turbance. " 'No, don't send th. wagon said tha
man, "I Just called up to report that my
wlf. hus a baby. 1 wanted you to know It-'
"The way tha man answered me whea I
congratulated him that 'It wasn't 'twins,"
continued th. sargeant, "I verily believe h.
waa mad.
"But that last Is Just a patching. They
get fierce here some night. What do you
think of this for a person to ask a copper?"
And the sergeant produced a letter mailed
In an Iowa town, written by a woman evi
dently of good education so far as the
writing was concerned. The letter stated
that the -writer was a middle aged widow

"Another thing, the Jail has become a
regular visiting place for young married
people, especially from out In the state or
country towns. We average a couple or
two every week, who have Just married and
want to see the Inside of the jail. It al
ways happens that the nights they come
every person In the cells Is drunk and does
his or her best to show It, Not long ago a
couple come In about 11 o'clock at night
and the husband said his bride wanted to
see the Inside of the jail. It was late and
I had to refuse them. The bride was very
much .disappointed and said so. While they
were standing in front of the desk in comes
Taylor with Boston Oreen, and Boston was
worse than usual. He was swearing at
everything and everybody in sight. While
sh. was trying to get out of his way Brady
cam. In with a beastly drunk man. The
man leered In the direction of the woman
and gurgled at her: "What they got you
for, honey T Before th. husband and wife
could get out of th. room the wagon re
turned with a drunken girl. She took off
her hat and sailed It at tha husband and
said, 'Hello, baby, how are youT' To cap
It all the fire gong began to ring and a
woman across the street began to yell
murder. Well, the way they got out was a
caution and it wasn't a good night for
sights, either."
When Patsr Waa Soaked.
While he Is compelled to listen to In
numerable questions and stories of all de
scriptions. It is only on record once that
good-natured "Patsy" ever lost bis temper.
That w aa just recently. Two little girls
had beea taken to the station and told a
pitiful story of suffering. They claimed to
have walked from Charter Oak, la., to
Omaha; that their father and mother were
dead and that they wer. alone and penni
less. The story waa published with the an
nouncement that the police deelred homes
for them la the oountry. The next day It
waa learned that the girls had run away f
from the orphanage horn, in Council Bluffs
and they wer. returned - there. But the
work bad beea done.
Every ..farmer in the oountry wanted
those girls. The telephone wss kept busy
all day and "Patsy" had explained to
over 100 people that the girls had been
returned to the boms at Council Bluffs.
"Patsy" kept In a good humor until Just
before quitting time. He afterward told
what had been said at the other end of th.
wire. Other, told what "Patsr" .aid.
After satisfying himself that he was talk
ing to the police station the man at th.
other end of the wire aald: "I see py de
paplers dat yoo haf girls dare."
"They are not here now," sweetly an
swered "Patsy."
"I im dat da want goot homes," said the
maa.
"How ol. are de glrleT" was th. next
question.
"There are not here now," was the an
swer about 60 degrees to th. hot.
"If da can do d. milking, I vtl glf d.m a

had heard nothing the sergeant had said.
"D-s yoo I they are not here now I" And
as the transmitter spluttered and spewed
from the warmth of the voice "Patsy" rang

GEMS THAT FADE FROM SIGHT
Kara and Prioeleii Jewels of India Prjnoei
Loit Pojever.
VALUES MOUNT INTO THE MILLIONS
Necklace of India's Joan of A
The Great MoaTal'e Diamonds
. Pliarre'i Wonderfnl Pe .
ravlan Emerald.
The r.ported mysterious loss of a ruby
weighing 2S6 carats from among the crown
Jowels In the royal treasury at Stockholm
recalls the disappearance of other famous
and even more precious stones, whose hid
ing place remain to this day undiscovered.
In this connection one naturally turns first
to India, that land associated In th mind
with fabulous wealth In Jewel. Where, for
Instance, are those two celebrated diamonds
over which a controversy has been, carried
on among experts for a hundred years.
These two stones were known originally as
the Great Mogul and Babar diamonds. Tha
Great Mogul weighed 279 carats whea cut
and was valued at 14,396,000 In our money.
TaVernler, whq was permitted to Inspect the
gem when visiting the court of the em
peror, 8hah Jahan, describes it as being of
the purest wster and undoubtedly the most
splendid Jewel In the world. The Babar
diamond also belonged to the Mogul em
perors and weighed 184 carats. As far as
any authentlo record Is concerned both these
diamonds were lost when Nadir Shah sacked
Delhi In 1739. Though Nadir' carried away
some $176,000,000 worth of jewels to Persia,
it is not known definitely whether be se
cured the Great Mogul ani Babar diamonds.
The only clue we have to them afterward
lies In the story of the Koh-l-nur. The Koh-1-nur
is known to have beea carried from
India Into Persia about the time the Great
Mogul and Babar diamonds disappeared, and
upon this fact some authorltlea claim that
the jewel at present In Queen Alexandra's
erown la one of the lost stones. But If the
Koh-l-nur was originally the Great Mogul
diamond, then there must be s nlee little
chip of a diamond weighing 83 parats lying
around somewhere, for that was the differ
ence la weight between the two gems. It Is
more likely that the Babar waa the original
of the Koh-i-nur, as they were of about th.
same luster and weight, though there Is no
sure- foundation even for this belief. It Is
quite as likely that the Koh-l-nur Is an en.
tlrely different atone, and that previous to
the surrender of Delhi both the Great Mogul
and Babar diamonds were hidden. Then
when the frightful butchery of th inhabi
tants followed th persons who knew where
the gem had been secreted wer killed, and
so all tree of them was lost. But on thing
I certain, the Great Mogul and Babar dia
monds eaa not both be the Koh-l-nur, so
where one of them Is remains an unan
swered question.
A Pearl Withdat Price.
At ths same time that these diamonds
were lost to view there also disappeared
the famous Mogul pearl. This gem I sup
posed to have been the largest perfect
pearl la the world. .It waa suspended from
the beak of the Jeweled peacock hovering
over Shah 'Jahan's , 135,000,000 throne. It
may or may not have been carried away
to Persia by Nadir Shah, but nothing has
ever been beard of It since.
Another celebrated Indian diamond with
a romantic story attached and called iu.
Great Table was alao seen by Tavernler
in the possession of a msrehant, but what
became of It subsequently no one knows.

treasure, there Is good foundation In fact
for Kipling's story of th white cobra
guarding a scintillating mass of jewels.
When the English captured Delhi in the
mutiny . day the chief loot sought for
was the last Mogul's regalia. But, though
very likely plac was ransacked and many
natives who were presumed to know some
thing 'about it were put through a severe
"third degree," tha more valuable part lie
undiscovered. -
During those time a famous ruby and
an equally famous pearl necklace disap
peared under unusual circumstances. Th
ruby, which ' was then valued at $300,000
and which today would be worth twice as
much, belonged to the Nana Sahib of in
famous memory. The etone waa an heir
loom In his family, and concerning It a
Brahmin had prophesied that as long ae
the Nana retained it In his possession
ha would never suffer capture by his ene
mies. The prophecy came true, for though
every outlet was guarded and .the whole
country searched over, he was never se
cured to pay the penalty pf . his crimes.
Whsn deserted by, his companions he waa
flying to the Jungle at the foot of the
Himalayas, with the- ruby still wrapped In
a fold of his turban. It is, . therefore, not
Improbable that someday a coolie digging
a trench or a well may unearth a human
skeleton, beside whose bleached skull wlH
be found this priceless ruby;
Story of a Necklace.
Of the famous pearl aecklaoa which dis
appeared at the same period a long story
might be told. But, In brief. It originally
formed a part of the Imperial regalia of
Portugal, until It came Into the possession
of the family whose chief 1 the tnaharaja
of Gwallor, at present a star visitor In
England and who proposes touring the
United States. At the time of the hunt
ing the maharaja of Gwallor was friendly
to the British and this brought down upon
him the wrath of ths, redoubtable princes
of Jhanal, th great Indian Joan of Aro.
In a pitched battle shs routed th. maharaja
and then seized his city, fortress and
palace, containing a vast treasure. Amid
the latter was the famous aecklaoa, which
the beautiful but terrible prlnoes at once
appropriated to her own use. In the sub
sequent battle with the British It is said
she wore the necklace. Romance alao tells
that when mortally wounded she broke the
strings and gav to each of her officer a
pearl as a keepsake.. But whether this is
true or not, the maharaja never recovered
bis necklace, and the present holder of the
title 1 deprived of the satisfaction of
dazzling London society by wearing the
principal heirloom of hie family. The
necklace was said to be worth $400,000.
In comparatively recent years a mag
nificent pear-shaped emerald disappeared
when ths countess of Dudley's Jewels wer
spirited sway from the waiting room of a
London railway station. Upon such faith
as may be placed la the delirious state
ment of a maa who wandered Into aa Aus
tralian back country station, dying of thirst,
it is supposed the gem was carried out to
that country and llee hidden somewhere la
the bush.

Held Liable on Their
Bonds.
The city official of Omaha may proceed
with the ereotlon of a market house oa
Capitol avenue and with the purchase of
an engine house lot at Eleventh and Jack
son streets, but at their own and their
bondsmen's risk of eubsequent suits for
damages.
This Is the result of Judge Read of the
district court yesterday dissolving , the
temporary restraining order he had Issued
In ths former matter upon the application
of David Cole and in the latter upon the
application of Robert Smith.'
A to the Cole prayer, he held that a
general taxpayer of the city has no stand
ing In court to enjoin th erection of a
publlo market house on a publio street,
even If the original dedication of such street
wa such aa to give such standing to a tax
payer who has special Interest by reason
of proximity of such market house to bis
property; -that the appropriation of general
fund money was proper and that It was not
necessary to go before the people to ask tor
bonds; and, finally, he held that a special
estimate for market houae purposes need
not necessarily be provided for la the an
nual estimate.

demeanor for the peddler to assemble at
the old market site on Howard street, which

day. In the engine houss matter, he held that
the mayor's action In attempting to enter
Into a contraot with W. B. Melkle for ths
purchase of the desired lot without author

but he knocked out Smith's objection, on
the ground that such Illegal aot waa subse
