PEDESTRIANS MUST BE ON GUARD
Police Judge Crawford Takea Stepa
to Cool Out Some of the Guild
Who Appear Before
Him.
If you don't watch out the Joy rider will
get you.
July and August, wtlh their heat and
humidity. Chief Donahue believes, have a
peculiar effect on the minds of automobile
drivers that forces them to speed madly
over the well paved streets of all cities.
Omaha, says the chief. Is now in the
clutch of the speed maniacs and pedes
trians will need to be watchful all the
time that they are not run down by some
big racing motor car.
The chief haa given strict instructions
to his officers to be on the lookout for
the Joy riders and will do all that Is pos
sible during the next three months to pie-
i vent excessive speeding, lie declares his
department Is handicapped by the lack of
men and motorcycles to assign to the spe
cial work of catching the motor law
violaters. ,
Closer Patrol Needed.
"What we need from now on until No
vember 1 are eight motorcycles and spe
cial officers to patrol the streets of the
city to get all men who break the laws
We haven't the men or the motors, so we
will have to get along the best way we
can In putting a mop to excessive speeding.
"The most of the Joy riding ia done
by chauffeurs who take out their em
ployers' autos. They get speed crazy, or
get to talking with their companions and
become oblivious to the existence of any
body else.
"The owners of machines ought to keep
their care In their barns unless they are
with them. They can prevent many ac
cidents by doing that."
Heavy Fines Enforced.
Police Judge Crawford from now on Is
going to make lifer miserable for any
scorchers who get Into his court
"These auto drivers must think they own
the town," he commented In court Friday
morning as he imposed a fine of Slii and
cysts upon John tiliowalter, a chauffeur
who was arrestetd Thursday night for Joy
riding at Eleventh street and Capitol ave
nue. "This Joy riding business has got to
come to an end. We cannot stand to have
the lives of our citizens put In jeopardy
by a few feather brained speed cranks."
The Judge gave Harry Bland, the chauf
feur who wrecked Arthur Brandels' electric
car Monday night, a fine of 100 and costs
In court Friday morning.
Bland entered a plea of guilty and ad
mitted having taken the car from the Elec
tric garage on Farnam street early Mon
day morning. The machine was valued at
11.800 and It waa destroyed by being run
against a telephone pole in Rlvervlew park.
Schalta Too Sick.
Al Shults, who sped H. H. Brandels' car
into a dray wagon at Thirty-fourth and
Hamilton streets Thursday noon, was too
sick to appear In police court Friday morn
ing and the case of breaking the speed
laws placed against him was continued
Indefinitely.
Schults waa released from custody
Thursday afternoon on1 bond. In the col
lision he was Injured In the head and his
physician declares he will be In bed for a
day or two yet.
Gust Drahos, an occupant of the wagon
struck by the Brandels car. Is still eon
fined In the St. Joseph hospital, where
the extent of his Injuries have not yet
been determined.
No trace of the automobile driver who
ran down Daniel Lockman at Thirty-third
and Farnam streets Thursday night, has
been found yet. The police have been mak
ing an effort to learn who tha men In the
machine were and will continue the aearch
for some time yet.
A complaint waa telephoned to the police
station Friday morning saying that a big
touring car was running about fifty miles
an hour at Twentieth and Farnam streets.
An officer waa sent out to watch In that
vicinity for Joy riders.
block west. He asked for a transfer good
that way, he declared, but when he of
fered It as his fare the second conductor
pitched him off the car. He declares that
he Is a cripple and was seriously hurt by
the conductor's assault.

Johnnie Krolik
Boy Witness in Train Robber Case
Gets $131 Witness Fee
Check.
It pays to be a government wltnesa.
Yes.
Little John Krolik, afred S years, who
was the lad who discovered the cache of
the Overland Limited mall robbers near
the Brown Park achool house can testlfv
to the fact that the government la a good
paymaster. Master Krolik was taken to
Boise, Idaho, several weeks ago to assist
in the Identification of Bill Matthews. A
day or two ago he received a draft from
Uncle Sam for fl.11 for witness fees and
mileage for the Idaho trip. This has noth
ing to do with the fees he will receive
as witness when the trial comes off in
September, or the part of the reward he
will receive for the apprehension and con
viction of the bandit, should they be convicted.

Youaa; Man Saya Woman Gstc It to

For pawning a watch belonging to Mrs.
Arthur Miller, win pierce, a young man
21 years of age, waa fined M by Police
Judge Crawford Friday morning. He could
not pay the fine and waa committed to the
county Jail.
In his hearing Pierce declared he was

that she wanted htm to stay at her house,
ao she gave him the watch to pawn that
he might get enough coin to keep him until

Mrs. Miller denied she had permitted
Pierce to take the watch and aald she did

house or hot.
Train Robbers'
Dynamite Not
Very Popular
Federal Building Employes Wish tho
Jiiamea stuff Were Stored
Elsewhere.
It became necessary a fow days ago te
move some of the records and documents
In the big vault of the United States mar
shal's office to permit the vault to be dried
out after the break In a watar pipe leading
through tha vault. Among the other things
stored there was the four sticks of dyna
mite that were part of the effects of tha
Overland Limited mall robbers. The men
who were to make the repairs and lift
out the articles from the vaults were told
of the dynamite being there and to be
extremely careful In handling the ex
plosive. The men kicked at once and promised
that they not only would not handle the
dynamite, but that the would not do a
thing to that vault until the dynamite
was removed by some one else than them
selves, as a plumber's business activities
did nut warrant him being around dyna
mite, much less to handle It.
A compromise was finally effected by
the dynamite being removed to the base
ment of the big building. And now all tho
men employed In and about the basement
wear rubber heM and walk on their tip
toes. Even the watchmen on the main
floor speak In a whimper for fear that
some sudden command might create a,
shuck that would set the dynamite off.
Visitors who have been occasionally shown
through the basement have cut that part
of the building excursions out.
Nobody but the marshal's office force
and the chief engineer of the building
know Just where the dynamite Is stored In
the basement and nobody Is trying to find
out.
