ANOTHER HOLDUP
TO THE APE MAN
Kan Answering Description of the
Smith Murderer Holds Up Clar-
ence Anderson and Miss
Stella Schoor.
GIRL MANAGES TO MAKE ESCAPE
Seventeen Suspects Arrested and
Arranged Before Miss Slater
and Ed Malone.
TWO RESEMBLE THE MURDERER
Clarence Anderson, 608 South
Seventeenth street, and Miss Stella
Bchoor, 815 North Thirtieth ntreet,
i Were held up In front of the latter'
home by a man answering; the de
scription of the smith murderer.
, The same build, wearing apparel
, and the same manner were displayed
by this holdup, who robbed Anderson
.of $2, and then at the point of a re
, volver compelled Miss Schoor and her
escort to walk up the boulevard, in
I front of him, until Indiana avenue
was reached. Here he forced them
1 to enter grounds surrounding a va
i rant house, and commanded Ander
son to commit unmentionable lnde
' cencies. The latter refused and was
! etruck over the head with the
Weapon.
The robber then grasped Miss Schoor
by the arm and dragged her Into a
nearby vacant lot and atempted to at
tack her. She fought with him and In the
struggle managed to kick him In such
a manner that he abandoned his attnek.

An the darkness.
, Operated Here Two Weeks.
Although this robbery and attack oc
curred on October 2, the police are con
vinced that it was perpetrated by the
same man that shot . Smith and threat
ened to assault Miss Grace Slater. Fur
thermore Captains Maloney and Dempsey
are- of the opinion that the fellow has
been operating off and on in the city
alnce tha middle of August. From that
period of the year up to the present time
a string of holdups by a lone highway
man, whose description tallies with the
ought-for murderer, as well as Incidents
of the holdups, tend to convince that
such la the case. "I think It more than
likely that the same man is responsible
(or all of them. I have questioned the
Victims closely and in the statements of
each event certain remarks has led me
to beUeve, JbJbo liaa bee.n , herf ot,
acme time,"' said .. Moloney.' Captain
Dempsey was of the same opinion.
- Besides the Smith affair, the Ander-aon-Schoor
robbery and the WMUmti T.
Slause holdup In which a cary party
was interrupted at the Hause residence,
8324 Pine street, the guests robbed are
a number of others, all perpetrated dur
ing the month of October.

pany of a young lady, whose name he

at Thirtieth and Wirt streets by a lone
bandit, who took his watch, and had
started toward the young woman when
kthe light of an approaching auto threw
Its rays on the trio, and ho turned and
made his getaway. Hta description is
the same as the Pmith bandit.
The same night William Brener, 2118
Cass street, and Marie Holland, 411 North
Twenty-fifth, were forced to deliver their
Valuables by a highwayman, who took
15 from Mr. Brener and several rings from
Miss Holland. The description of this man
s the same as that given by the others.

SUNDAY TAKEN
IN TABERNACLE
Collectioni for Payment of "Billy"
Have Already Begun Instead of
Waiting Until the Last
Day.
SPEER EXPLAINS CHANGED PLAN
Says Many Might Not Be Reaohed
if Opportunity Deferred Till
Next Sunday.
SATS CAN'T REPAY EVANGELIST
"Venpranee Is mine; 1 will repay,
saith the Lord" "mily" Sunday
quoted In the course of his sermon
yesterday afternoon nnd then he
added grimly: "Just you watch the
Lord get busy on sonic- of the old
liars In Omaha that have hcen
maligning me. Just mark down their
names and watch them drop out."
The offering for "Hilly" . were
started yeoterday instead of being
confined to the services next Sunday.
Envelopes were distributed through
out the audience end many checks
and pledges placed In these envelopes
will go to "Hilly."
"This is .lono because ninny are here
today who will not be able to bo here
next Sunday." Rev. Hugh H. Speer said
in a speech explaining the plan for get
ting together the evangelist's compensa
tion. "We can't repay Mr. Pumlay in
mere dollars and cents for the wonder
ful regeneration he has brought to Omaha
and this money will be not so much an
offering to Mr. Sunday as a thank offer
ing to God that we have been privileged
to have him here."
"Billy" preached on the promises of
God to his people and how they take
away the sting of all troubles if people
will but accept them. The sermon
bristled with a score of verses containing
definite promises to all who will believe
and accept and rest upon them.
It was an optlmlstlo aermon and not
without Its humorous touches that set
tha audience In ripples and gales of
laughter.
"Read your Bibles," he aald, "and aee
tha promises. Some of you never open
them except to fill in the famly record
with births or deaths. You lose your
'specs' and can't find them and there
they are, six months later, in the Bible."
Frighten Wife with Klas.
Again, ho spoke of cheerfulness. "Go
boraa'. hfti. aald."aud .. speak kindly -to
your wife. Kiss her; never mind If It
does frighten her at first Why, If some
of you old devils would go a day without
cussing your wife she'd think you were
sick."
Worry, ha characterised as not only
foolish and llfe-sapplng, but "aa big a
sin aa stealing chickens."
"Worry! Great Caesar's ghoetl" ha ex
claimed. "What a dreadful thing I You
worry about everything, Ilka tha old
woman who said, 'I feel bad when I feel
good because I know I'll feel bad again.'
Soma people worry because they think
tha Germans are going to lick us. They
haven't got enough people over there
altogether, Including the Japs, to lick this
bunch. Calamity howlers! Rely on the
promises of God. Don't worry in time
of trouble. Don't throw away your ticket
when the train goes Into a tunnel. It'll
come out again all right. Borne people
go 'round with a face so long they could
eat oatmeal out of a gas pipe."
Responsive Reading; Useless.
Faith, reliance on the promises and
having the Spirit of God, he said, are
requisites. Blnglng and going through
responsive reading ara of no avail, he
declared. .
"Responsive reading!" ha exclaimed.
"They Just drone through It. What good
does It do themT"
Tha audience waa large for an after
noon service, numbering about 4,500. A
collection for the International Rvangol-
Istlo association of which Mr. Sunday Is
an officer, was taken.

PARIS, Oct. 19. An Itallaa
squadron has left for the near past
under sealed orders, supposedly , to
participate in the blockade of tho
Bulgarian coast, according to a
Urlndlsl dispatch received here this
evening, but which has been delayed
in transmission.
LONDON, Oct. 19. Italy has de
clared war against Bulgaria, but the
question whether It will send troopi
to Join tho British and French forces
in Serbia remains as obscure as the
results of the fighting raging on Ser
bia's eastern frontier.
The Austro-Cerman armies which
occupied Belgrade appear to hsve
advanced more than fifteen miles
south of the city, but the outcome of
the fighting between Bulgarians and
Serbians along the important Salon-lkl-N!sh
railway cannot be summed
up so easily.
At two points, the northernmost of
which Is Vranya, the Bulgarians es-.
sert they have reached this railroad,
while to the south the Serbians nro
reported to have driven back the In
vaders. Both Athena and Taris maintain th.it
French troops have occupied Struinnltsn.
In southwestern Bulgaria, but there aro
available no official reports relating to
tha struggle in this quarter, and none
is expected until tha fighting reaches a
more conclusive stags.
Removal of General Sir Ian Hamilton
from command of the Dardanelles foroa
waa received In England with mixed feel
ings, coming on tha heels of rumors of
a possible withdrawal from Gallipoll pe
ninsula. In tha best Informed circles,
however, the appointment as commander-in-chief
of Major General Charles Munroe
is,. Interpreted an -an.' Indication that tha
campaign will be prosecuted with renewed
energy, as tha country has great confi
dence In tha new leader's ability. .
- War Declared Upon Balgarla.
ROME, Oct. It. Italy, has declared war
on Bulgaria, according to an anounce

The Havaa correspondent at Rome tele

tha king, declared that a state of war
existed between Bulgaria by reason of
Bulgaria's , having opened hontillltlea

the enemies of Italy and combatting its
allies."

LONDON, Oct. 19.-Italy has declared
