EIGHTEEN PRISONERS . FLEE Scaviots Brsak Jail and Ttrj Tsw Ar Beosptured hj Official. Ml TRANSPIRES WITHIN ONE MONTH 4eratloB la Three Cities lasplr Belief that Concerted 1'lan la Kserated by Co-Ope ra tios of Criminals. To no small extent Is It believed in police add detective circles the recent delivery of live prisoners from the Douglas county jail was accomplished either wholly or In part by outside parties pals of soma of the pris oners, who made their escape. This opinion is held by many of the older detectives who have had years of experi ence In the ways of criminals and the usual methods employed In times of escape. While nothing definite can be stated recording- the recent deliveries at Omaha, Lincoln and Sioux City, from which places eighteen "good" prisoners gained their lib erty within a month's time, yet the authori ties are more than certain that some organ ised effort was made In behalf of the pris oners who got. away. It is a generally accepted fact among those who have to do with the running down of criminals that this class of soclul parasites havo organizations and stick by each other so far as the exigencies of the profeSMlon" will permit. A more or less regular correspondence is maintained by criminals and the dally newspapers are scrutinised assiduously for the movements of pals who may get into trouble. When it is known that a member of any clique or gang is in trouble a helping hand la ex tended In soma way or other, according to circumstances. ' Hoaor Amok Thieves. The old saying that there is a certain honor even among thieves holds good today us much as It old 100' years ago, for to "squeal" today on a pal means ostracism forever; it means that the one who "squeals" roust go it alone and besides run the chances of being "knocked" by the others. Occasionally, though not often, the police find on a prisoner letters or memoranda that show conclusively the man Is In league with others la various portions of the coun try. The rule Is, however, that the criminal burns his bridges behind him and "stands pat" when caught. On more than on occasion persons have tsaea atpreheudtti gelng through prisons and penitentiaries ostensibly for the pur pose of religious work or as legal advisor for some prisoner, when In reality they were seeking to get a plan of the interior of the Jail for the purpose of assisting someone to escape. Similarity la Method. The similarity of manner in which the de liveries were effected at Omaha, Lincoln and Sioux City, the comparative small ra dius of territory encompassed and the brief lapse of time between the deliveries men tioned lead the authorities to take suriously to the Idea that outside pals of the escaped prisoners did the work. A few of the escaped prisoners have been captured, but by no hook nor crook can the Jail officials induce these few to tell how the dellvtrles 'vera effected. In each bunch that escaped were a few criminals known throughout the country. In the six that got away from the Nebraska penitentiary September i was Charlie O'Conner, alias Henry Cunningham, one of tho most expert forgers and confidence men In the country. O'Conner Is now M years of age and was reared In Omaha. O'Con nor's five companions who escaped with him are all highwaymen and house burglars! with a long string of aliases. The most Im portant one of the Omaha bunch wus Frsd Ieonaril. the young man who held up five men a few months ago In an Omaha drug store. The seven who escaped from Sloux City were all desperate characters. DODGE- AND PRIMARY LAW Author of lot 01 ad of 8tep to Inaugurate it Before Legislature. SAYS PEOPLE WILL WANT TO KEEP IT BREEN NIPS EXTRAVAGANCE Calls Halt oa tho Printing of One Thouaaad Mew Ordinance Books. City Attorney Hreen had something ap proaching a fit Saturday morning when he discovered that Attorneys B. F. Thomas and E. C. Page, who have been preparing a revUlon of the city ordinances, had ar ranged to have 1,0)0 copies printed. The volume la now in course of preparation. The city attorney, after visiting the city clerk's office, discovered that no authority had been Issued for printing 1,000 or any other number of the ordinances. "Two hundred copies would be plenty," said Mr. Breen. "Five times this number is absurd. I shall put a crimp In it If I can." His Family arraigned In pnltoe For Abasia Anton Valnus whs court Saturday morning on the charge of a Dinting nu lamuy.

Tbe wife also said she had to Ink, the girl away from home Friday to eacap the wrath ut the father aud bucod. For Committee to Declare Law In Effect, He Says, Will Hasten Action by the Lawmakers. Representative K. P. Dodge, jr., the father of the Dodge primary law enacted by the last legislature, was asked what he thought of the attempt made to have the republican state committee arrange for the choosing of the nominees for state of fices In Vfi by direct primaries, in 'con formity wtli a plank of the last state con vention platform and without waiting for speclllc action by the next legislature. "I am very glad to see that Victor Rose- water proposes to have the direct primary inaugurated by the state committee with out waiting for legislative action In the matter," aaid he. "It will have a very great Influence toward hastening the time when the direct primary will be adopted by legislative enactment, for It will enable the people throughout the state, who are not famllur with the advantages of the system, to try it out. It has been found that wherever adopted It proved so pop ular that the politicians were not able to withstand the demand (or It and had to sanction its use. Opposition's Side of It. "Until the people of Nebraska have de clared themselves so unmistakably for a direct primary law that the politicians and the legislature will be compelled to enact It into law, the opposition will be exerted from the professional politician and the representatives of special interest. They do not come Into open and fight with argument that can be met, but tbey go about the legislators presenting state ments that appeal to the different members on grounds of the practical tf'sadwatages to them of the direct primary. In tae last legislature I found that the main reasons advanced in opposition to the measure were three. First, the expense; second, domi nant Influence of the city and town over the country vote; third, loss of power to local political leaders. You never cao over come these objections as they are subtly advanced by the pol It leans and the rep resentatives of special Interests, and the only way we can convince these people that the voter should have the advantages of tLe direct primary will be lot the people of Nebraska to demand 'a law and to in struct their representatives to vote for it when it is introduced. Effect of Its Popularity. "If Mr. Rosewater la successful in get ting the state committee to inaugurate tho direct primary It will result In proving so popular with the people that the politicians will not dare return to the old convention methods. We will have in the state the same experience we have had in Douglas county that when once adopted by a po litical organization the demands of tho people have compelled its adoption by law." Mr. Dodge admits that the primary law tried for the first time in Douglas county has defects that should be corrected. He says the opinion of City Attorney Herd man that political organisations can tils nominees and get their names on the gen eral election ballots If the places have not been contested for at the primaries" Is cor rect and within the Intent of the law. The socialists according to the law's author are In no way barred from filing a ticket for the general election ballot. He expect the first day's registration to be declared In valid for several reasons. He plana to cor rect obvious defects at the next session of the legislature. GRAPHIC VIEW OF OLD WORLD General Uandenou Oirei Hit Impresiioni of Things ia Europe. , POVERTY AND DISTRESS IN SOME PARTS Somber of I'nemployed la British Isles, He Says, Is Startling, Ibonluf Decadence In Manufacturing". WEBB ANSWERS RUSH CALL Goes to Iowa to Find Innocent Hawk, shaw rs Against Old, Old Came. Captain VToTib of tbe secret service de partment of the government answered a rush call over Into Iowa a day or two ago that was sent by an amateur detective who discovered something. After a long buggy ride through creek bottoms and muddy road the captain reached the scene of the conspiracy and found the Sherlock Holme. He was taken Into the Inner sanctum sanctorum and there in the dim light he wa shown a printed circular from a New Jersey green good man. The circular told how a carload of the stuff could be had for almost nothing by merely responding to a telegram. There were newspaper clipping telling bow bank note plates had been stolen from the government, that these "goods" were being printed from them and they defied the detection of the most ex pert exports The Iowa . lUwkshaw bad conceived a plan to catch the fellow, as he had Several of the circulars. A soon a Captain Webb could catch hi breath he Informed the detective that tbe game was a old a Adam and that he had 'enough of Just such circulars In cold stor age at Omaha to paper a township, that they were a fake pure and simple. And he came back to Oisab without letting off a sweat. "I was very much Interested In our trip through Ireland, Scotland and England, having never visited Ireland or Scotland, and my visit to Eiiglanl havln been largely confined to the vloinlty of London," aid General Charles F, Manderson, who with Mrs. Manderson, U back from Europe. "We landed at Queenstow i and took the usual tour by Glengarlff, Klllurrey, Dublin, Belfast and Port Rush. The evidence of poverty and distress met one on every hand, but the Irishman seem to be llko Murk Tapley 'Jolly under all circum stances.' "We visited sums of the school, and rather to my surprise I found that they were teaching Ga-)llo In all of the aca demies of whatever grade In Ireland. I talked with aome of the teacher and many of the Cathollo clergy who wero in charge of the Cathollo schools with reference to this matter. They said the teaching of the original Irish tongue and tho resurrection of some of the ancient industries waa for the purpose of Instilling into the youthful mind pride In their country and an in crease of patriotism. At Dublin I met Sir Horace Plunkett, who now occupies the position of commissioner of agriculture and education. He, also was an advocate of the teaching of Gaelic and some of the almost lofct arts, such as nrati work, pot tery product and lace making, and aatd that the effort should be not to make Ite land antl-Engllsh, but pro-Irish. This re-J mark of this eminent sta'eti.ian and great thinker really sum up the itmn'.on. Sir Horace Known la Omaha. "Sir Horace Plunkett will be recognised by all readers of Tli Be a a gViitleniau who I very largely concerned in Omaha real estate and in ranch Interest ia Wyoming. He entertained u very charm ingly In Dublin and present jl me with a book lately Issued, whloii la the beat presentation of tbe Irish .jue&iloii that I have ever read. It provoked some criti cism, but I commend It to any one who la desirous of knowing the rendition of af fair at this tune U belaud, - It U caUed 'Ireland In the New Century,' and ho al ready reached the t)llrd edition of 14,000. . "The number pf. unemployed in the Brit ish Isle is startling and shows a great decadence in British manufacturing. Ger many and France made the first Inroads upon British commerce, to be speedily fol lowed by Belgium and finally by the United States, and the extent of American pro ducts sold throughout Europe I very grati fying to any cltlien of the great republic. Sign showing everything imaginable from American boots and shoes to Amerlean mixed drinks greet tbe travelor every where and I was greatly amused at some of the hotels to find American bar with a list of mlxd American drink great in number and with names that I do not be lieve any American had ever read before. Terrifying In Its- Vastness. "The city of Loudon 1 terrifying in its vastness and activity, but one is constantly hocked upon the publlo streets by the sight of distress and poverty stalk in misery by the side of those who rid in all the luxury of wealth. , I doubt If there is any place In the world whore the contrast are so aharp and wel defined. "Paris, the. city of. gaiety, life and light, Is always beautiful, and I hav never seen it when it presented a more charming and attractive appearance than It did during the August days that I spent there. There were many Americans In Paris, among them, Dr. Coukllng, th Mlaea Wallace, Mr. and Mr. Joseph Barker, Mrs. Lewis S. 'Reed, Mrs. Fred Nash, second, Mr. and Mr, and Mis Whit more. Senator Millard and daughter, Mr. god Mrs. C. J. Greene, and I heard of others, but did not meet them. Surely', among tbe great army, of American, who covered Europe thl year, Omaha had her full contingent. "Th most attractive cities of the smaller size are to.be found In Belgium. Brussels Is most attractive, filled witb life and beauty, and Antwerp Is one of th most progressive towns on th continent. Major Church Howe, who is our consul general there, ha certainly achieved great success In the consular service. He started in at Palermo, Sicily, was promoted to Sheffield, Kngland, and hi position at Antwerp la one of great trust and Importance. At a late festival at Antwerp he was highly compli mented publicly by King Loopbld, and I have no question that If he should desire to chang from th cenaular to th dlplomatlo servlr that th State department would be glad to avail Itself of bis ability and experi ence. "I would like soma time to draw a con trast between the rgltroada of Europe and those of tbe United States, but time will not permit me new to do so. Suffice it te ay that where the government own tbe reiiroadj U erviee U- U. footes;, m4 where the railroad are at their best ' In point of service, charges for passengers and freight, they are far behind the United State. W have the beat and th cheapest railroad transportation in the world and it would be an evil beyond description and a blunder most futal if this country should adopt the policy of government ownership of railroads, and when the people of the Untied States realise that with government ownership there not only comes poor serv ice with little or no chance to remedy a Vila, but nonpayment of tax for municipal, county and state purposes by th railroad, and nonpayment where death results or personal Injury comes or stock is killed, of) there is loss on a government railroad, thty will be very apt to condemn this, policy that ornaments the populist platform of Nebraska as vigorously as they have oon demned many other of their bereslas in th past." . While Mrs. Manderson probably wtll'lee) th use of one of her eyes from the retina) becoming detached, the specialists tell hept that there Is not much danger of the eflUo tlon affecting the other eye. , CITY LIFE IS TOO ALLURIMG- Adhesion More Than Pnddy Kelly , Find Himself Able to ' eessfnlly Resist. Paddy Kelly, who is arrested -about tbreoV ttmes every week, wa Saturday ' morning; sentenced to ten days by Polio Judge Berks. Friday morning Kelly waa released on a' promise to leave the city of tJie Seven Hill of Cibola and th Kiugdorn of Qulvera for ever and a day, -but Friday afternoon he waa picked up in a high, tat of liquid exhilaration and placed ia on of th cooling room of th city JalU Kelly will be out of Jail in time to-vlaw the parade.
