Suffragists Say They'll Build a Club All Their Very Own MYSTERIOUS MESSAGE LEADS TO PRECAUTIONS Telegrams and messages thought to be Jn secret code sent to Dlggs Nolon, alias C. J. Thomas, are worrying deputy sheriffs In charge' of the county Jail. They Buspect that all ot Nolen's pals were not rounded up In the recent raid at Mem phis, Tenn., and they are guarding him closely lest he should receive aid from the outside and attempt to break Jail. Yesterday a special delivery letter sent to Nolon was found to contain a telegram signed by "W. A. Boyd" of Waco, Tex and addressed to a Savannah attorney. In It was a Jumble of meaningless words, and this is looked upon with suspicion by deputy sheriffs, who refuse to allow .Nolen to see It. Next week the prisoners In the old county Jail are to be removed to the new Jail In the county court house, and at this time a heavily-armed escort will go with the southerner. Should an attempt be made to secure Nolen's release It Is thought that the most likely time will be when the transfer is made. Because tho citizens of South Omaha can no longer be fooled by noise and Uie boating of political tom-toms, gang leaders -who cuglncorr tho so-called mass meeting Wednesday night contended their disappointment yesterday. Tho more Intelligent of the leaders sadly acknowl edged that times are changed, and some of them oven admitted that It looked as if the people wore determined to be an nexed to Omaha without delay. The violent attack upon Postmaster Lew Etter was partly responsible for the freezing given the patriots. Tho mistake was discovered too lato, however, and all the protestations of affection for Etter could not make his friends and the city generally overlook the fact that the men who led the assault have always fought anything that looked llko giving tho younger generation a word to say In city affairs. Another mistake made by somo of the gangsters Wednesday night and since was the violent denunciation of Victor Rose water as tho enemy of South Omaha. That sentiment," said a business man yesterday, "will bo heartily repudiated by every South Omaha citizen who has a memory of troublous times somo years ago, when the present editor ot Tho Beo and his father stood Immovably for the policy of fair play to all, Irrespective of creed or politics." As a matter of fact, the men who volunteered their opinion ot Victor Rosewatcr as an enemy of South Omaha had personal grievances In mind But the meeting ot Wednesday night was a revelation to the younger citizens of South Omaha who are bitterly opposed to the old gang that has dominated, local affairs for years. The young mon want a chanoe to do things in their own way. Tho tendency Is towards the elimination of gang rule and ward bossos. Lxaniples of other western cities that Ivave ousted the old gangs from power seems to ap peal strongly to the younger clement One of the most typical examples of principle and conviction on the part ot the gang appeared yesterday from tne statemont of one who Indicated that he was more than ready to climb Into the annexation band wagon. Too Mnny Knulnrers. Signs of internal troubles begin to af fect the present administration. This time It makes Its appearance in the office of tho city engineer, who has been com pelled to lay off both his assistants. As sistant Engineer Joseph Kaspar and As sistant Engineer Jay Lefler are said to bo slated for an extended lay-off duo to the continued Inactivity in their depart' ment. As a matter of fact, bomeono Is said to have raised a howl agulnst the lnrers office force maintained in the en clneer's office. Friends of both Lefler and Kaspar are said to have Insisted tliat thn other should go. A compromise was effected and both will be laid off, It Is said Thm. wlio have watched the play closely say the move was made becausw some complaint has been raado ot the overlarge force maintained in the en gineer's office. Some weeks ago former Mayor Tralnor Btated that the force In the office was Just as great under the present administration, which has done no work at all in the way of publlo Im provements, as In the days when the big public improvements wqre under way. Th rial nlav seems to be a preparation for an election in the spring. At best It l honed that a bill of annexation will provide that the two cities shall not merge , . x-- 1 ..lnn In ilrvirj lift until the next cuy eieuu" which is some two years hence.

UNIVERSITY OF OMAHA TO DEBATE WITH TARKIO Arrangements have Just been completed whereby the University of Omaha and Tarklo college will hold two debates on cither the first or second Friday night in March.

YEISER CHANGES HIS PLANS Get-Together Conference Will Not Be Anything of the Sort. REPUBLICANS MUST SURRENDER Itoosevrlt Tells 111" NrlirnsU. Ad mirer Where to llenil In, nml Ills Orders Aro lmniiilly Oheyoil. Colonel John O. Yelscr has revised his plans for a "get-together" conference of bull moosers and republicans at Lincoln in January. What he now proposos to do is to take tho republican paiy of Ne braska over In a body and deliver It to the bull moose organization. This change of plans Is duo to the re ceipt ot a letter from Colonel Roosevelt, In which the writer chides Colonel Yclser for presuming to Interpret his former let ter as even hinting that anything less than an unconditional surrender by tno republicans would be considered by tho bull moosers. Colonol Yelser has written to Colonel Roosevelt, admitting the pro prlety of the rebuko and pledging him solf to bring the republicans penitent Into the colonel's camp or "bust." Rolnnrl Ilooacveat's Letter. Colonel Roosevelt's letter to Colonel Yelser reads: NHW YOIlIv. Den. 7 Mv Dear Colonel Yelser: 1 am Informed thnt you have quoted a portion of my letter to you ns partial authority for your call for a get together meeting of the progressive re publicans and Taft republicans. 1 am also Informed that It Is your puipoue to get the progressive to return to me re imiillrun rmriv. 1 mnitt pninhntlcallv dis approve of any suoh use being made of my letter. It Is for tno Tail repuoncans to come to us, and not for us to go to them. The nomination of Mr. Taft was n stolen nomination, deeply discreditable to every beneficiary of It, uvery man who took part in It and every mun who con- doned It or apologized for It. Victor IlOHiiwater was one of the prime agents In the theft. When the republicans ndopt In Its entirety tlui progressive piatmrm, without any reservations whatsoever. and when they purge tho roll, turning out of the party the bosses who aro responsl bio for so much misconduct on tho part of tho republican organization, and when they rescind the action by which they de livered tho mass of tho party bound hand and foot Into tho power of Mr. Barnes and the rest of Uie national committee. then I shnll be pleased to consiuer whether there can be a get-together movement of the kind you ueicrine. jjui I will never consent to any such move ment on the basis uf abandoning our principles, of permitting tho triumph of reactionary principles una or suomuuuK to the dominion of the politicians who have' so deeply discredited tho republican party. Faithfully yours. TtllSUDUKlS KUUHMVlSlJi. Colonel Yelsur'M Ilcply. To this conciliatory message, so mod estly and thoughtfully worded, Colonel Yelser replies as follows: OMAHA, Dec. 12. Hon. Theodore Rooso- voir. New York. Mv Dear Sir: The con ditions expressed upon which you will consider a gut-together movement Is en tirely satisfactory to the west. Our Ne braska meeting, January 0, will be In harmony with those conditions or It will "bust." The reuunilcan party ot tno na tion will be compelled to accept them or it will split again. 'We expect to continue worK previouniy outlined. Beg to udvlxo that you wel'o misinformed on my quoting only a part or your letter, i usea it an. Mincereiy yours, JOHN O. Y1UIBJ2H. STERLING WARE FRENZER. Otis Heats Diivrnporl. NEW YORK. Dec. . Charles Otis. representing Brooklyn, defeated Ina Dav enport ot Kansas City In the National Billiard league three-cushion tournament tonight by 60 to 21 points. Otis made a high run of six, while Davenport's best was mree morning when the empty pouch, split open on one side and nil of the contents taken out. with, the exception of sevcrnl newspapers In Vrnppers, was found In tho nrds of tho Western Fuel company, lo cated at Tenth avenue and South Sixth street In Council Bluffs. The pouch had been stolen from tho platform of the Great Western depot nt 8:15 o'clock tho night before, and the thrft made known to the Postofftcn department. It wns evident thnt all of tho contents f tho bug had been emptied Into another receptacle and taken to somo point whore the let ters nnd packages could bn examined nt leisure. The pouch had contained flrst-clasa let ter mall and came In over the Great Western from Oelweln, la., consigned to the Council Bluffs poRtofflee. Immedi ately after It was thrown off tho mall par It wns placed on a truck by the driver of the mall wagon employed by E. E. Mitt nick, who has long held tho contract for tho transportation of tho mails to and from nil tho city depots. Ho was subjected to a wait for a few minutes beforo the. truck loud of mall was completed. It was apparently during this brief Interval tlint tho pouch was stolen. Tho bags had been counted as they wero laid upon the truck and not recounted whim placed In the wagon, so the theft wns not discovered until tho check was made at the end ot the route. Vnlnr I'rolilenintlcnl. The valtto of the contents of the pouch Is problematical, but Is believed to bo no greater than ordinary mall, although It Is possible to havo contained dnifts nnd business exchango ot great vnlue. The Clirlstmns rush has not tnoro than appre ciably commenced, The ihjiicIi was inndo up nt Oelweln on Wednesday morning and contained tho night mull for tho west. As Council Bluffs and Omaha business men and bankers do not operate extcn slvcly In the territory around tho eastern Iowa town It Is not probable thnt thcro were many business letters containing re mittances. Tho pouch was known to havo contained a number of registered pack ages. Increased Interest is lent to tho theft for tho. reason thnt tho thieves havo taken a different course irom mni generally followed and relieved themselves of tho dangerous presence of tho mall bag by ditching it within a block of tho point where it wns stolen, Tho letters could be transported In any kind of an ordl nary receptacle without attracting at tcntlon and taken to a remote place for the final rifling. The alarming feature Is the skillful manner In which the theft wns consummated. It Indicates bendy work that may bafflo tho detectives now working on the case. It was declared last night that not a single cluo had been secured, That tho pouch .contained letters for Council Bluffs people is shown by the fact that the threo newspapers left Inside were addressed to people in this city.
