Railroad Uncovers
Swindlers' Plans
Detectives employed by the Great West
ern railroad and local police working- In
conjunction with authorises throughout
the middle west have uncovered an am
bitious attempt to swindle railroads.
' Frank St Clair, arrested here by De
tectives Dunn and Fleming, is In the city
Jail at Council Bluffs and Jlmm'e Grif
fin, a Jockey who became famous through
the Maybray expose. Is under arrest in
Sioux City. . The two men are alleged to
be the ringleaders In the plot, and R. H.
Clemmons, a local expressman Is being
kept under surveillance by the Omaha
police as a material witness. '
According to the authorities, St. Clair
and Griffin loaded a Great Western car
full of cheap harness' and buggies and
billed them to Moose Jaw, Canada. The
contents of the car was worth about $209,
but the valuation placed upon It was W.7C0,
At Carroll. Ia., the car mysteriously
caught fire and when It was extinguished
before the blase could gain headway, sev
eral cans of gasoline and .turpentine were
found. , When the car renewed its jour
ney It caught fire, this time near 8t Paul,
Minn., and again highly lnflamable oils
were found.
The' affair was run flown by the rail
road detectives and the two Omaha men
were arrested. The officers say that the
plan wag to present the railroad with a
claim for $2,700 in the event that their
carload of buggies and harness were
burned.
While engaged in running down the
two men, the railroad detectives say that
they also discovered evidence which leads
them to belfeve that Griffin and St ClaJr
are the two active heads of a well or
ganized gang of box car thieves, who
have been operating all over the middle
west j

One of the new economies to be prac
ticed by the eouncil during the present
year is a reduction in the maintenance
expenses of the police department. Much
of the saving Is' to be accomplished by
the housing and upjeep of the city pa
trol and automobiles wnicn are now
kept In private barns' and garages. In
accordance with the plan adopted the
council some time ago ordered the city
engineer's department to draft plans for
a barn to be erected between the jail
and the city hall at a cost not to exceed
si.ono. ,
At an' informal meeting among a num
ber of the council yesterday the new barn
was discussed and it was shown that at
present the city pays 1420 a year for
the keep of three horses, a patrol and
light buggy.-. Besides this, In some cases
the city has had to furnish the extra
feed for its horses and has also main
tained an auto for the engineering de
partment of the city.'
Jay Williams, who has spent much
time In devising ways and means for
cutting down municipal expenses without
decreasing the effectiveness of any de
partment, is receiving the support of the
council together with Major Tom Hoc-
tor and Clerk Terry Wheeler.
Wheeler for Mew llooks.
So that there will be no mistake nor
misunderstanding about the matter City
Clerk' Perry Wheeler expressed his opin
ion yesterday as being In favor of the
installation of a new set of books In the
city departments In place of the present
Antiquated system. Clerk Wheeler took
occasion to make the announcement In
view of the Intention recently expressed
by the mayor to appoint him official
auditor of the city for the present year,
. "If I am appointed to audit the books,"
said the clerk, "I will audit them,
though personally I would rather that
an expert take the job. It Is my opinion
that the advice given by the last expert,
who recommended a change In the sys
tem of bookkeeping, should be followed.
It is neither good business nor good
Judgment to maintain a set of books that
are as antiquated In method as ours
are." .
Councilman John S. Walters and others
have taken up the cudgels again In fa
vor of the new system.

Day Captain of Police Henry E. Els
felder was suspended (Qm duty yester
day afternoon by Chief of Police John
Brlggs after an altercation over the dis
appearance of liquor held in the station
locker as evidence against bootleggers.
"It's a pretty mess, indeed," said the
chief to the police, "when I cannot leave
anything in charge of you men for a few
days without having the stuff drunk up."
The chief's remarks were addressed to
several officers present, but Klsfelder
alone undertook to "talk back to the
chief." A hot dispute followed the re
marks of Elsfelder and Chief BrlggB re
moved his star and ordered him to take
his belongings from the storeroom.
It is not known whether or not Els
felder's suspension Will amount to more
than a notice that Brlggs is going to
bring the police force Into a state of dis
cipline and obedience. The chief an
nounced that he would hereafter hold
the captains personally responsible for
every article placed In the locker. He
said he did not Intend to allow the police
station to be a distributing agoncy for
booze. - .
Elsfelder has served on the police force
for thirteen years, and he ays he will
resign rather than be docked ,.one day
during suspension.
