other affairs of the dHy, bridge parties nd
luncheons being shelved for the time be
ing. Several Omaha hostesses expressed them
selves recently upon their ideas of the
thoughtluaanes vt ' some ' of -the , society
, women who do not take the time to answer
their Invitations. One hostess said that
she always remembered the bnna who came
late and also the ones Who neglected . te
answer and these names ware taken off
her' list.' Another hostess who Is plan
nlng to entertain In the near future said
she would like .to see her friend's list with
-the names' crossed off that she, too, might
omit them. So tt aeema there Is to be
a. tabooed list. At a recent 1 o'clock lunch
eon, the hostess was obliged to telephone
two guests at 11 o'clock on the day of
the party to ask them If they were going
to accept her Invitation. Ingenious ones
aro trying to suggest a remedy. One that
ounda quite feasible Is to have notes of
acceptance and notes of regrets engraved,
ao that It would only be necessary to ad
dress them, for the general excuse la "they
haven't had time.

KNIGHTS OF WHITE DEATH
Letters to Chicago Ministers Demand
ing Money Sent by Grocer's
Clerk for Joke.
CHICAGO, Dec. 12. The mystery of the
"Knights of the White Death" letters
which were recently sent to various
clergymen and prominent citizens In this
olty, with tho threat that unless they
left large sums of money at designated
spots they, would be put to death, was
oleared up tonight, when William Pollard,
12 years old, driver of a grocer's wagon,
was arrested and confessed . to having
sent tho missives as a Joko.
Pollard blamed Conan Doyle's stories of
crime for his exploit. Fascinated by the
novelist's lurid pictures. Pollard declared
he had determined to see how they would
work out In the hands ot the Chicago
police. So he organised the "Knights of
the White Death," and with a Sherlock
Holmes' fancy wrote out a, bundle, of let
ters decorated with skull and crossbones.
The demands for money, he said, were
simply added to enliven the mystery, as
he never went to see whether the money
was left or not.
A few days ago one of the letters
reached the Rev. W. O. Waters of Grace
Episcopal church. It was accompanied by
a small box, also sent through the mall,
containing bones apparently human and
the rusty handlea of a coffin. Ten thou
sand dollars was demanded In this In
stance, the money to be left at night by
the clergyman at a lonely spot. De
tectives were posted at the place Indicated
In this letter and also at places Indicated
In similar letters sent to Rev. R. F. Rob
erta of Qulnn chapel and A. C. Dixon of
Moody Institute.
"I got the bones and coffin handles out
of a graveyard," said Pollard, according
to tho confession obtained by the post
office authorities.
"I had Intended to let the police keep
on worrying until New Year's day, when
I was going to make a confession.
"How did I get the human bones nnd
the coiflne trliumlngsT That was ay.
When they dig a new grave in Calvary
cemetery, the graves are so crowded to
gether that the side of an old grave often
caves In and portions of the interment
fall into tlia new excavation, which U then
thrown out with the new sand. At night
I went into the cemetery and gathered
these tilings. .
"After I had sent that coffin handle to
Rev. Mr. Waters I was afraid they would
trace It to Calvary cemetery because of
the cross on it. Besides those to the
clergymen I sent letters to Dr. Adxlph
Gehrman and to Assistant Chief of Police
Scheuttler, telling the latter to leave $700
In tho confessional box of St. Charlotte's
church.
"I waa delighted when I read Dr. Dixon,
with the detectives, stood waiting klmost
all night tor the 'White Knights' to ap
pear for tho money."
