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

She had asked Parrlsh for the uso of
the Commercial club rooms for tho suf
fragists' annual dinner, when tho refusal
was made. Such privilege, sho was told,
would also bo against tho club's treaty
with the hotel men not to allow out

YEISER CHANGES HIS PLANS
Get-Together Conference Will Not
Be Anything of the Sort.
REPUBLICANS MUST SURRENDER
Itoosevrlt Tells 111" NrlirnsU. Ad

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

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.
