10 THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, ' 1910. NEW YEAR'S GIFTS STOLEN Several Valuable Pareela Taken from Storage Company's Wagonf. mmmmm i POLICE LOOKING FOR THE THIEF erernl Esprens Companies May B Interested and All Cosafcla la . Effort to Kea taa Thla Secret. "Merry Christmas to me," . chuckled thief s he rifled ft wagon load of belated holiday gifts' at the barn of the Omaha Van and Htorage company on North Nine teenth street.- He disappeared with the loot from more than two dosen package and now the detective force Is turning the town Inside out to recover the stolen gifts. On the morning of December 30, when the wagon house was opened, a dismaying sight of ' thattered cheer wsi exposed to view. Iat the night before a load of gift packages from the express companies had been -received for New Year delivery. These parcel were broken, torn and scat tered about." The floor of the barn waa littered with notes and gaily bedecked Christmas cards. ' The careful thief left no card cf his own. however. No estimate of the extent of the robbery Is possible. In that many package have dlsirppearod altogether, while only part re mains of others. From the standpoint nf the detective. It appears remarkable that not a line can be found among the rlf ed packages to show where or from whom they cam. ., . The loss of packages possibly will In clude shipments through several express companies, as. the Omaha Van and Storage company .makes deliveries for all of the companies, doing business In Omaha. At the express .company, offices It hi asserted that no claims have been presented yet for missing packsges which could have been lost In this robbery. Try to Keep It Secret. . Efforts hate been made to keep the rob bery as much a secret as possible for In the light Of Its seriousness there la a de termined Intent to visit punishment on the thief. Pome of the' stolen goods are pro tected by a standing reward from express companies, but none of theae companies will now admit that they are much con cerned about the matter. "It will not be up to us to make good the loss when the claims are proven," said an officer of the " Adams Express company; "The Omaha Van company receipts to us for' the goods' and parcels received and the relation Is the same as between express companies."''"' "We don't know' Just how much It will amount to," said John Reklns, proprietor of the Omaha Van and Storage company. "The stuff 'recovered, which was thrown about In the barn, was, of course, of little value. ' ' " " ' "It seorris probable that the thief was locked In the' barn at night when the wagon was driven In and put away. If the rob bery ' had occurred before ' Christmas it might have' been worse." "I don't know of 'any loss that has been sustained to our shipments," declared A. J. Sampson, general agent for the Wells Kargo Express company. The extent of the robbery Indicates the ' work of a cautious thlaf and an Investiga tion of the case is being followed up with more than ordinary diligence.

ASSISTAlb DIRECTOR IS PRESENT C. F. Wlllooarhby Says They Are Or gtaalslngc Staffs at These Sec tional Meetings to Coant I'ncle Sam's Cltlsens. . ' About twenty-five of , the fifty district superintendents of census who are to at tend the meeting called in, Omaha were on hand when the first session began. The others were snowbound. The states represented at the meeting are Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. Assistant Director of the Census W. F. Wllloughby of Washington, LeQrand Powers, chief of the division of agriculture, and W. C. Hunt, chief of the division of population, both also of Wash ington, D. C, arrived this morning and will be present at the afternoon and morn ing meetings. ' Assistant Director nf Census Willoughby, who Is .the second ranking officer of the census department, says: "The purpose of this meeting Is to discuss the best methods for the work we are about to undertake. Similar meetings have been held in the east, and south and south east, where problems of the same nature prevail. "There are some 350 census district su perintendents in the country and we aim to hold the meetings at such central points where the general conditions of the territory are alike. As an instance in the south it la ' the negro problems, in the southeaat the cotton and tobacco interests, in the east the great general interests, in the cenetral weat it is agriculture and stock raising, in the mountain states, min ing, and the Pacific coast states many pe culiar conditions. "One of the vital questions to come before the meeting is the selection of good enum erators. All applications must be In by January 25, and from these applications the great army of enumerators Is to be se lected. "There has been a misapprehension regarding- the rigidity of the examination re. quired of the applicants for enumerators and doubtless many prospective applicants have been deterred from completing their applications because of this examination. It Is not severer by any means; Just re quires good common sense, fair penman ship and intellectuality." . Change Your Shoes Don't stick to a light pair of shoes now.
