MISSION OF THE POP BOTTLE
Tine Point in Usage of Burglars is Argued
in Court.
ETIQUETTE OF TOOLS, WEAPONS AND LIKE
Judxe Iar Turns Down the Kloqnence
of Attorneys Morfirtjr and Farns
nurtK and Hold Asalnat
Tlirir Art weala.
Judge Day on Friday afternoon devoted
an hour or more to hearing: an interesting
dlacUHslon concerning the utilitarianism of
a pop bottle filled with sand, if the same
liould be designed for burglarious pur
pose. The dlseuaelon arose out of this
alleged state of fact.
On New Year's night, while Officer Cun
ningham was meandering with soft-tooted
care and lynx-Hke eyes along his beat,
he caught light of a very tall man look
ing into .a window placed at a somewhat
high elevation in the saloon of Fred In
geraoll, at the corner of Sixth and Pierce
street. To the officer's wondering gaze
the flsure seemed for a moment to be like
Sue of the fabled giants of old that Jack
could only reach by l.uviug the assistance
of a fast-springing beanstalk. Presently
he noticed, however, that one man wa
standing, on another's ahoulder, and coin
cident with this discovery he heard the
smaslrtng of gln. Then the man who
had boken the window looked careful.ly to
right and left. , lie discovered the officer
at the same time that the latter advanced
to investigate. Cuunlnghum, satisfied that
such an acrobatic trick waa against the
law. especially when the high man held
'n his hand a pop bottle filled with aand,
arrested John Kartcn and Charles Mc
Carthy. In police court they were charge
with having unlawfully and feloniously In
their possession a burglarious instrument
with Intent to enter the storehouse of the
said Ingersoll.
v Case for the Defense.
On Friday came Attorneys Ed llorearty
and E. T. Farnsworth, acting for Karten
and McCarthy, respectively, and moved the
district court, to which both were hound
over, that the Information be quashed, for
the reason that a pop bottle filled with
sand Is not to be held as a burglarious In
strument under the statutes.
Defending the Information, Assistant
County Attorney Foster maintained thai
the Intent whs the thing, whether the bot
tle was filled with vlmful and violent
champagne of a dangerous vintage, If there
be such, or was merely Vhurged wltn
Plebeian sand. The weight was there, .and
if the Intent was aufflclently set forth by
circumstances, he urged, the court would
hold the Information well lodged. To this
end he cited authorities.
Counselor Morearty said he was some
what puExIed to get at the logic of Mr.
Foster's argument. He could understand
how an assault could be committed with
a pop bottle filled with sand, or by a brick.
If properly alined. It was beyond his con
struction of the statute defining burglarious
instruments to class an old pop bottle ns
a tool with which stealthy and shifty
burglars would equip themselves. It was
not the approved tool for effecting an entry
as charged In the Information; was not.
In fact, up to the best fashion In the social
stratum wherein burglars most do dwell.
In all his experience In the trial of crimi
nals he had never found a pop bottle filled
with sand carried, used or listed . as even
a passable tool In effecting a forcible entry.
He desired to secure a ruling from the dis
trict court that would serve to govern the
Inferior courts In dealing with men who
might be charged with purloining the
secrets of a Yale lock by means of a pop

Farnsworth's Eloquent Assaolt.
For McCarthy, who was half of the tall
fig-tire that used the pop bottle, though
which half is not clear the two men being
one, apparently, in the eye of the law as
to this offense Attorney Farnsworth set
out to wipe out of the ken of the court
a common pop bottle filled with sand as a
sensible or tangible instrument of burglary
Thoughtful or ordinarily clever marauders
would never equip themselves, lie felt, with
such simple, packing house weapons when
going a-burgllng: but the court held coun
sel down to the text of the Information
and Its literal wording. In this case there
are many points, probably, for a Jury, but
as to the law and the statutes the court
would be compelled to hold the Information
sufficient and to overrule the demurrer. He
granted counsel an exception; still the fact
remains that the best construction up to
this time is that a pop bottle filled with
sand may under certain circumstances be
come a burglarious tool, potent for evil
even more than when loaded with aqua
pura and decomposed marble dust.
Both defendants, who are out on a cash
bond, were Interested listeners to the elo
quent and earnest 'attempts of counsel to
belittle the sand-charged glass receptacle
as part of the equipment of burglars who
know their business.

GRUBER'S PLACE MAY BE ABANDONED
In Ion l'acloc Ottlclnla Incline to Be
lief that l.lne tan Be Managed
Without the Office that
Is Movr Vacant.
An appointment to till the vacuncy caused
by the resignation of J. M. Gruher, general
superintendent of tho I'nion Pacific, Ima
not been made a yet. Julius Krutschnitt,
director of maintenance and operation for
the Harrlm.ui lines. Is on the way to Omaha
from the west and it is expected that the
matter of the office will be taken up with
A. L. Mohler, the general manager. There
has been some -talk that K. Buckingham
will be brought back here from the Short
Line to fill the place, but this has been posi
tively denied by Mr. Krutschnitt. In an
interview several days ago he said in the
most positive terms:
"Mr. Bucklngliam will stay where he is.
He Is needed on the Short Line."
This might Indicate that while the ap
pointing power is left to Mr. Mohler, the
office will not be filled without consulting
other high officials in the operating depart
ment and that so far as Mr. Kruttschnltt
is concerned Mr. Buckingham is out of the
race. Very often the name of a man In
line for promotion Is sent east for approval.
The office of general superintendent is an
important and high-salaried one, and the
powers In the east may have a man for
the place. If the matter is left entirely to
the general manager the man recommended
by him is very apt to be approved.
May Abolish Ottlce.
It is believed that the visit of Mr. Krutt
schnltt at this time is not so much to dis
cuss the question of timber as to seek ad
vice regarding the wisdom of leaving the
place vacant. A t nlon Pacific official said:
"The Bee announced several days ago
that the office might be abolished. It would
be a matter of no surprise to me if this
were done. Mr. Krutschnitt will be here
in a day or so and I am Inclined to be
lieve that his visit Is with regard to the
vacancy caused by Mr. Oruber's resigna
tion. I think the question uppermost Just
now is not regarding the best man for the
place, but as to whether It will be ad
visable jo leave the place vacant. There
are good men enough In the operating de
partment of the l.'nlon Pacific, but If the
duties of the office can be taken care of
without making an appointment tiie com
pany may decide to save this expense."

JOBE LEARNS A NEW GAME
Stranger Shows a Sojourner from
Mlssonrl Twenty Dollars
Worth.
William H. Jobe of Missouri has been
shown. He made a clean breast of It to
the police officials. Before coming to
Omaha Mr. Jobe did not know much about
freight bills. Now he says he knows the
whole thing and is going to write a treatise
when he returns to California, Mo., which
is his poatoffice address and where he is an
honored citizen and voter. It coBt Jobo
Jupt J20 to get wise. He would have paid
more, he says. If he had had the ready
money, but his tutor was willing to cut
the list prices and give the man from Mis
souri a peep into tho mystic realms of
freight bills for the amount mentioned.
Jobe arrived at Burlington station on an
early morning train and loitered around
the terminal for a while before deciding
how to spend his time here. Jobe was the
embodiment of , loneliness as he sat on a
hard bench and pored over a time table.
A man took cognizance of Jobe's lone es
tate and accosted him.
F.xtendlng the glad hand of welcome, the
stranger arked if he might be meeting Mr.
Jobe of California, Mo. In five minutes
the two men were fast friends. The
stranger appeared to have quite a knowl
edge of men and affairs at California and
thus disarmed Jobe of any suspicion. Joe
Mlk, the Burlington passenger director, put
his ear to the ground and detected a false
note lu the tune of the stranger, and so
warned Jobe. The Missuuriun resented
Mlk's intrusion Into a conversation between
two townsmen and told the director to luko
himself afar off and sit down.
Jobe and his companion left the station.
The stranger had a car of furniture al
one of the local freight depots uud in
tended to bring his family to Omaha to
settle. He had a freight bill for the goods
and needed Just l-'u lu tide him over until
the arrival of hla wile, who was bringing
the family strong box on an afternoon
train. Jobe had l-'O, which he exchanged
for the freight bill as security. Jobe still
has the freight bill.
The stranger told Jobe to meet hira again
at the Burlington station on the arrival of
a certain train. Jobe kept his appoint
ment, but the stranger did not. Jobe
showed. Mlk the freight bill, and Mik told
Jobe, "I told you so." The freight bill is
blgus. J ibe Is going back to Misssourl.
He thinks the stranger was a humbug.
The police aepartment Is looking fur the
stranger.
