In conversation with Chief of Detectives Savage Friday afternoon Elliott sid hi and Wilson had planned the robbery of BonnenberE's store when they were serving lime together In the penitentiary at Canyon City. The two men came to Omaha Novem ber 10, after being released a short time before from the penitentiary and roomed at the Lyons hotel. Thirteenth and Dodgo streets. They had been advised by fellow criminals that the job would be compara tively easy to pull off and two attempts to that end were made. They went to the store Tuesday morning with the intention of robbing the place, but were deterred by the presence of several customers. A second call was made Wednesday morning but this also was futile on account of others In the store Elliott said he overslept Thursday morn Ing until It was too late to attempt the I . . . . -,, m . v , robbery, and by nerving themselves up to the task by the use of drugs, to which both men are addicted, the robbery wa consummated as planned Friday. The diamonds snd other loot stolen by the robb.rs were returned to Mr. Sunnen berg, and It Is believed every article taken by the thieves has been recovered. Elliott said he had agreed with his partner to carry the spoils, as he was the fnstest runner, and If Wilson had been captured It wt'.s agreed Elliott should use the money received from the sale of ths stolen go.ids to Sid In the defense of his partner. Both men are dope fiends snd a quantity of laudanum and gum opium was found on Elliott. Open evenings. Frenzer, jeweler.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The hour of representatives was brought face to face today with the proposition to Increase tue salaries of its own members, senators, the vioe president, the speaker of the house and members of the president's cabinet while the legislative, executive and Judicial ap propriation bill was under consideration, and while It passed favorably on the prop osition as applied to other officials, refused to make the order for members of either house of congress. Mr. I.lttauer of New York, who had given notice that he would offer the amend ments to the legislative bill necessary to accomplish the proposed Increase Immedl atcly secured the floor after the prcvoui question hud been ordered cn the b.ll and presented an amendment raising the sal aries of the vice president and the speaker of the house to J12.000 per annum each.

Mr. Underwood (Ala.) said he was op- posed to any further Increase of salaries j message he said If It were found Inexpedl alung the line of legislation and legislative ent to nass the senate bill, a measure should olTlces. He further said he believed the salaries of the minor clerks of the gove. n - rnent sh.uld be ii. creased on account cf the Increased cot of living. His conientl ji was that salaries are paid to members of con g:ess so that a poor man mlyhl co:ne to congress and represent his constituents Ho said he would not contend that a congress man could live In Washington and keep pace with modern society. Mr. Fltzgetald (N. Y.) said he would vote for the Increase even If tho price paid was political oblivion. He called attention to the salary paid the mayor of Ne-v York, and also to the pay of the comptroller of that city, and Inslbted that the vice prest- dent and the sneaker should be puld sal arles commensurate with the dignity of their offices. After other speeches the amendment was adopted by a vote cf 211 to 61. the opposi tion falling to secure votes enough to call the ayes and noes. Mr. Litlauer then Introduced another amendment fixing the salaries of cabinet officers at IliOW) per ananum after March 4, 1907. ' During the course of his remarks on this amendment Mr. Littauer held up a large picture of a president of a base ball asso ciation, whose salary had been Increased from J10.000 to 113,000 a year.ar.d contra ted with the salaries paid members of the cabinet.

C. Taft senate resolution calling for Information re- garding the discharge without honor of the soldiers of the Twenty-ttfth regiment of colored Infantry. That he will send the congress a speelnl message advocating the passage of a ship subsidy measure at the present session was stated by several members of the house to- day. It was said that the president had de clared that the rccommendutlon In his an nual message was misunderstood. In that J be pnssed to provide for a few linos to i South America ports. He did not mean to minimize the Importance of other features of the bill. It Is understood, and now pur- p&sea to correct any false Impression that may have been gained by the public. No decision as to the committee's attl'ude on shin subsidy was reached at the caucus of the republican members cf the house on merrhnn ma'lne and flsherlee held tod iy.
