"We rp swamped with donations from
people who want to help somebody," nay
Mls Ida V. Jont cf the Associated
Charities, i
"We have received cherkg from people
In other states asking that money be used
to help those who would reeetve little or
no Christmas cher. Omaha people have
leen more than generous. They have
telephoned this office for names of needy
families and have even co-operated with
us by Koln In search of those who
might have been overlooked."
A prominent business man went out on
nueli a mission. He found a family he
thought he could help. He telephoned the
Associated Charities and discovered the
amlly was listed for a basket of food
things Christmas day. "Just forget It,"
aid the business man. "I will take care
of them." And he did not wait until
Christmas, but went forthwith to a
grocery store and ordered a generous bill
aent around at ence.' "And I'll see that
they get more on Christmas day and
that the kiddies have some presents, too,"
lio cald.
One man who has made much money In
business in the city, but does not make
a great display of charity, although he
Is godfather to many children, sent the
charities a fat check. "I have heard,"
lie wrote, "that aome of the old people
are about to be overlooked. Now, if you
need any more money Just let me know
and you'll get it." But there were so
many men like him that hi a offer to
jilve more had to be refused, as enough
had already -been given.'
Help from Other Mates.
Over In Iowa Is a famfly with relatives
In Omaha, These relatives do not ac
cept ehurlty, but they are not always
able to drive the wolf from the door. So
the head of the famlty in Iowa mailed a
check to the Associated Charities and
asked them to "make these people a
merry Christmas."
".see that 100 kids are given presents,"
wrote one Omaha man and folded In the
letter was a check that made the Char
ities gasp. Miss Jonls called him up by
telephone and asked it he had any prefer
ence or suggestions, but he did not, and
left the matter solely with the Charities.
A woman telephoned Miss Jonts from
Fort Crook and said: "I want to do
something for somebody on Christmas.
C'jun't you help me out. A-nd my slater
also wants to help." Miss Jorrts gave
them a list of families who would re
ceive no presents and the two good
women at once began their mission of
rovidlng good cheer for the more un
fortunate.!
"It is so hard to find those who really
need something and whom you could
help on Christmas day," complained one
woman over the telephone. She was
given the names and addresses of some
poor people.' and at once telephoned her
grocer that her account was open to
them and to see that they bought gen
erously. ' ...

South Omaha Police
Think Dynamiters
Operated from There
Thomas deary, 324 North Twenty-fifth
ti-eet, and the South Omaha police are
persoaded now that John J. MoNamara
and Ortle McManlga were In this vicin
ity last March near or about the time
Vhen the county court house was blown
up.
The men who were In this city at the
time called upon Geary and made ar
langementawlth him for renting a store
room at 324 North Twenty-sixth street.
AVIth the understanding that they were to
look over the place and see whether It
was fit for their purpose the two Stran
gers obtained the key of the place from
the owner.
The key was not returned and Geary
notified the police, who made a careful
Investigation Of the premises. Nothing in
criminating was discovered, though later
It was said that an officer found a piece
f fuse and some oil paper in the place.
This, taken with the fact that the two
m angers were said to have carried grips
nd that they worked for a night or two
in the place, has led to the suspicion
that MoNamara and , McManlgal may
have made South Omaha one - of their
caches.
Local labor leaders, who are personally
acquainted with McNamara and McMant
gal, scout the Idea that the dynamiters
were here last March or any other time
vlthout the fact being known to some of
the labor men at least.
Negro Saves Life

Through Thin Air
Fred, Gates, a negro, known as "Golden
Gate," employed as a laborer on the new

two stories from a scaffold, which gave
way beneath him while he was working
(in the fourth floor.
Uates, who had been working on the
scaffold all afternoon, was lowering it by j
the hand pulleys about (.46 o'clock, when j
the. cable broke ana one end or the scar
fold dropped. Gates shot downward, feet
first, and, as he was going by the nccund
floor he granped an iron rod which was
extending out over the side of the build
ing, lie managed to hang oil to the rod
until a fellow workman on the second
floor assisted him to safety.
