'ATTEMPT TO ROB MIL WAGON
Unsuccessful Holdup Beported
Driver of Wagon in Omaha.

TWO JIEN, HE SAYS, WERE FOILED

' , mnndrd II I m to Stop, bat
He Drove On.
Iostofllce authorities hava Just revealed
whJrt purports to be another attempt at
I nlted States mall robbery. I F. Carllle,
driver of a mall wagon, says two men
attempted to hold up his wagon on Elev
enth street between Harney and Howard
Tuesday evening. He reported the case
that night to his superiors and also at once
to the' police. Both had Investigations
made, the police sending men at once to
the" scene, but no trace of the holdup
men could be found. Captain Mostyn of
the 'police department oes not now treat
t hi? "matter with profound seriousness.
Carllle was 6n his way from the postofflce
to Union station with a load of mall. It
was about 8 p. m. and a dark night, espe
'rfatly, he says, at the point where the
' attempted robbery occurred. He gives this
version of the affair:
"Roth sides of the street were plied up
with Chicken crates and 'there was barely
mom for' the mall wagon to get through.
About the 'middle of J he block a man
came out from one side of the street and
railed tin me to stop. My first Impulse was
to do so, ss I thought something might
be the matter with the wagon or that the
street as blocked. A moment later an
other man came out from the oprwtte side
of the street and seised the hc-wea, while
the first man continued his coir nand for
inn to stop. The team was a spirited one
nd (he man who had aelied the horses
tried to pull the team around, but sus
pecting something was wrong I struck the
Wars with the , whip .and they Jumped
looso, ' throwing the man at their head
down and one of the horses made a vicious
kicler at the other man. I whipped up the
. term and got .away from the holdup men
and :. reached the. depot safely."
' Thinks Oa Man Was Hart.
Carllle Is of the' opinion one of the men
mart st .the, wagon got a bad kick from the
ln.rui'a, ss he gave an exclamation as if in

opinion it was a deliberate attempt at rob
bery. The mail in thla wagon was par
ticularly heavy and was unquestionably of
considerable value, being eastern-bound
mall.
As the attempted robbery occurred In the
same vlcjnlty where the two mall pouches
were recently stolen from a mail wagon
there Is a suspicion of a connection between
the two parties.
"We Intend to put a stop to this inter
ference with the -malls," says Postmaster
Palmer. "The drivers-of the mail wagons
will be armed hereafter when driving the
mail wagons at night and -someone will
get a dose of cold lead. We shall also put
two men on the night wagons for addi
tional assurance of safety."
OMAHA LEADS ALL FRUIT MEN
Champions Jobbers' Flaht, 'Which
Probably Will Produce Na
tional Ora-nnlsatloa.
As a result of the successful prosecution
of cases before the-inspectors of the Inter
state Commerce commission by the West
ern Krult Jobbers association, of which E.
B. Branch of Omaha Is secretary, all fruit
dealers of the United States may bind them
selves together In a great central organisa
tion. Such a movement Is being urged In New
Tork and it is said to be the direct out
growth of the work of the fruit dealers
of Omaha, Kansas City, Sioux City, Council
Bluffs and Minneapolis, who have made
a strong jcase against the express compan
ies receiving on consignment for sale by
their agents all producteand from receiv
ing orders to purchase by agents any pro
ducts whatever. 1
Secretary Branch has Just sent out the
full text of the resolutions passed In Chi
cago at a recent meeting of the Western
Fruit Jobbers' association. New Tork and
Chicago local associations hava put them
selves on record as favoring the resolutions
and of organising the eentral association,
composed of representatives of the various
Interests composing it, to maintain an
office similar to the offices of the Western
association In Omaha. The efforts of the
association are . to be mainly directed to
the adjustment of all matters of transpor
tation. . . '.. j
The full text of the Chicago resolutions
shows that the association will demand that
congress should take some action to com
pel the United States district attorneys to
formulate contentions for the shippers and
to conduct hearings on them before the
Interstate Commerce commission st the
expense of the government.

WEAD GETS GOOD "PRESENT
Remembered by Traveling Com
panions for Garment He
Lost Enronte.
I
Fred D. Wead, the real estate and Insur
ance man, was not by any means forgotten
by Santa Claus. He got a very timely
remembrance. It was a beautiful night
shirt and was sent to him by Charles L.
Saunders, John A. Scott, and R. B. Wallace
councilman of Council Bluffs. The present
bore more significance, perhaps than tho
ordinary run of Christmas gifts.
These fpur men made the trip recently to
the waterways convention in Washington.
When Mr. Wead arrived at the seat of
government he discovered he was shy one
night shirt and one was all he started with.
After much calculation he and his compan
ions figured out that he had simply forgot
ten and left his ahlrt In his Pullman berth.
The first night In Washington he was kindly
remembered by something short of 100 per
sons who kept him awake the greater part
of (he night, calling over the telephone to
proffer him a night shirt.
When Christmas came, Mr. Wead re
ceived a night shirt with' the cards of his
traveling companions. He didn't want to
be small, so he returned the favor by
sending a ' My-Mamma-Don't-Shlrt" and
a cake of the proper soap, to Senator
Saunders.

JAPAN WELCOMES CHRISTIAN
Needs and Wants His Religion and
Practical Influence.
SO SAYS STUDENT FROM TOKIO
A. I". Ktnagoohl, Yoonn- Man Attend
ing Missouri Concur, Will Ad
dress the Men nt V. M. C. A.
Sunday Afternoon.
"The government of Japan guarantees
absolute freedom to all religions," said A.
t". Kawaguchl of Toklo, Japan, at present
a student of William Jewell college at Lib
erty, Mo. "The Christians have as much
right In the eyes of the Japanese constitu
tion as any other religionists. The attitude
of the prominent people of Japan Is friendly
toward Christianity and many of them are
Christians. The Idea that ChriHtians are
only found among tho poor is erroneous,
for many in the Parliament are Christians,
and In 1S99 when the Japanexe government
becume constitutional the president of the
first houFe of representatives was a Chris
tian. "I consider the missionary work done In
Japan has been a great success. We can
readily see v that by the results accom
plished, which are too numerous to enu
merate, the missionaries not only have
helped religion, but have aided In bringing
Japan closer to the I'nlted States and
western civilization. The results cannot
be measured by converts, for Japan has
been Influenced not only religiously, but
also educationally. -
"The Japanese people need Christianity
because other religions cannot meet the
demands of our people. As they become
enlightened they lose faith In other relig
ions because they cannot core with exist
ing conditions. Dissatisfaction exists
among students because they cannot sat
isfy the inmost needs of the soul by study
ing the philosophers or Buddhism and they
realize they must come to Christianity to
satisfy their neds. Japanese Christians
Co not commit suicide as do the Japanese
Buddhists, who become pessimistic and
downhearted.
erer Looks for American-Japan War.
"I believe there will never be uny disrup
tion of the pleasant relations which exist
beti.een this country and Japan. It would
surely be a great mistake and there Is no
true grounds over which to bring about a
war. That Is what Japanese thinking peo
ple believe. They believe with Secretary
Tart that this talk Is all foolish. The Japs
don't look on the western movement of the
fleet as having any warlike meaning. The
Pacific coast Is as much part of this coun
try as Is the Atlantic coast. Prominent
people of Japan say If Evans wants to sail
across the Pacific he will be given a royal
welcome. Japan wants to avert war as
much as does any older civilized country,
for the interests of the I'nlted States are
our Interests. Wo hsve been helped from
various standpoints by the I'nlted States
educationally, politlraly and In many other
ways. Ttje I'nlted States opened our coun
try to western civilisation and naturally
the country doesn't want to' turn against
the people who have helped It."
Mr. Kawaguchl will speak at the men's
meeting at the Young Men's Christian as-,
soclation Sunday afternoon' on Japanese
manners, customs, life and religion.

SOAP TO MAKE BoTs GOOD
Wnshlnira Applied by Probation O Ul
cer When Newsies I'se
Bad Words.
"Does it taste good? It tastes Just like
what you said sounds to men and women
who heard you. Do you think you will
swear and use bad language again?"
Probation Officer Bernstein with a mite
of humanity who sells "polpers" were
"holding a private session" on the fourth
floor of the city hall. The small boy was
standing before a wash basin and was In
dustriously rubbing a piece of toilet soap
upon his tongue, making wry faces and
blowing bubbles as the soap mixed with
the water which he had previously placed
in his mouth.
"Yes, this Is the new method of punish
ing boys who forget they must not swear
or use bad language," said the officer. "W
have tried many ways, but this seems to
be the one which Impresses the offense
upon their memories. This boy Is a1wayn
forgetting and he has used such bad words
that we won't let him sell papers any more
until lie reforms."
"Now you can quit rubbing. Hold on
there, don't wash your mouth out. Kee).
that soap on your tongue until It hn
soaked In deep. Then you can nib toirn
more. You can rub It on every half houi
this morning and then your mouth ma
be clean again."
Thoughts of other washings to come
broke down the apparent indifference of
the boy, and In a few minutes he was
ready to promise he would never shock
boys and girls with his talk.
"Well, I'll let you off this time. Report
to Joe Carroll and tell him that you can
sell papers this afternoon, but If you swear
or use bad language again, we'll soak your
tongue In soft soap all night."
LAGOONS FOR THE SKATERS
Proposition to Flood Kouutse Park
Depressions nt Espense of
the City.
Hundreds of children may have an op
portunity to "go skating" near home, if
Charles E. Williamson succeeds In his ef
fort to convince1 the Water board that the
old lagoons In the exposition ground, now
Kountis psrk, should be flooded to pro
vide a place for the children to skate with
out the danger always present when they
go to deep lakes and rivers.
Mr. Williamson, who has been Interested
in play grounds, hss addressed a letter to
the Water board asking if small quantities
of water cannot be used now and then for
flooding the lagoons. The two lagoons in
Kountze park, one east and one west of
Twentieth street, are now about a third
full of water. Children are enjoying them
hugely, and enough water now and then to
give a good surface and extend the area
of the ponds would mkke room for many
more youngsters and give them skating
which would bs ss good as when they go
a long way from home and endanger their
lives.
Another move may be made by those
Interested In the play grounds, as the
water has been entirely drained out of the
lake In Bemls psrk, and for the first time
In years the children will have no skating
pond In the neighborhood.
Mr. Williamson points to the fsct that
the water companies of other cities have
frequently flooded the small lakes and
ponds during the winter season and given
the children a safe place to skate, away
from the crowds at the ice rlaka and aear
their owa homes.

Days Notice
Money of Omahans has started back to
the savings banks and savings departments
and the day after Christmas bbw many
thousands of dollars more deposited than
on the same date last year or on any day
during the holidays.
Then the withdrawals of savings accounts
for the holidays was smaller than it has
been for years, according to those In charge
3f savings banks and departments. f That
many depositors had money In their pock
ets Is thought to account for the small
amounts drawn out, but some' bought
economically and did not touch their bank
accounts.
Almost the last notice of withdrawal
nade sixty days ago was cancelled before
he depositor arrived to check out the
noney. Just sixty days ago the lid was
put on by the banks of the Omaha Clearing
House association, and from October 28 to
November 2 many persons gave the sav
ings banks notice they would withdraw
their money at the end of the legal sixty
days. As the uncancelled notices mature
the depositors are leaving the money in
the banks.

savings banks, the country bankers are
