Whisler is supposed to have obtained
when he robbed the army bank here

a fifth continued today.
The authorities are working upon
the theory that the army officer, who
killed, himself with an army rifle a
few hours after the murders were dis
covered, may have had an accomplice
who fled from the camp in a motor
car after the money had been en
trusted to him. ,

was believed by the attending phy

dead army officer as the man who ha
robbed the bank and committed the
murders.
The camp today was rapidly re
turning to normal.
Chicago Stock Yards Close;
Due to Shortage of Coal
; Chicago, Jan. 14. Chicago, just
recovering from the most severe
blizzard in 50 years, was today grip
ped by a coal famine that closed
down the blast furnaces of South
Chicago, shut. up the world's greatest
two packing plants and threatened
another tie-up of the railways.
The Chicago Milwaukee & St.
Paul issued orders to division su
perintendents that every possible
train be cancelled to conserve fuel.
The Armour and Swift packing
plants closed and put every employe
to work clearing the tracks of snow
so that coal and cattle could be
moved.
Later several other packing con
cerns shut down, making the tie-up
of the stockyards complete. A force
of 10,000 men was set to work dig-

SENATOR BEAL WILL ENTER
Custer County Statesman Announces
He's Out to Try Luck In the Sixth.
THE RACE AGAINST KINKAID
(From a Staff Correspondent!
Lincoln, Jan. if. (Special.) Sen
ator Charles Peal of Broken Bow has
mustered up courage to face the six-
teen-cylimler political machine oper
ated the la.t few years in the Sixth
congressional district by Uncle Moses
Kinkaid. He will try for the demo
cratic nomination.
Uncle Moses' machine has run over
a whole lot of aspiring and prespir
ing politicians who imagined the con
gressional race track was in proper
shape to Ret up a little lemocratic
speed, but up to date Moses has kept
up the reputation he made several
centuries ago in the bullrushes and
paed under the wire not only by a
nos'e, but several lengths ahead.
The first man to try conclusions
with Uncle Moses was General Pat
rick H. Barry, in 1502. The general
lacked 2,702 votes of getting as many
as Mr. Kinkaid. Then Waller B. Mc
Neel tried it, and Uncle Mses pulled
through 8,885 votes to the good.
Shumway Also Failed.
Then in 1906 present Land Com
missioner Grant Shumway took a
turn at the game, but Uncle Moses
beat him to it by a majority of 5,530.
In 1908 W. H. Westover thought he
could show Uncle Moses a thing or
two, but he failed, running pretty
well, but still 2,467 votes to the bad.
But in 1910, our old friend W. J.
Taylor got out his sixteen-cylinder
flivver and took after Uncle Moses.
The speed limit rules were fractured
several times during the race, but the
best Taylor could accomplish was
to get a glimpse of the coat-tail of
Uncle Moses as he skipped around
the next comer with "majority 4,645"
pinned thereon.
However, Mr. Taylor was not the
man to get discouraged over a little
thing like that, and so in 1912 he
oiled up his machine again and tried
conclusions with the unbeatable
author of the Kinkaid homestead
law. But the worst was yet to come.
Mr. Kinkaid got a majority this time
of 6,236.
Another of Same Name.
This settled the matter for William
J., he knew when he had enough, but
another Taylor, Frank J., thought he
had the endurance to go the pace
against the old man, and in 1914 he
made the race, but it was the same
old story, only worse, Kinkaid pulling
in under the wire with the biggest
majority of all, 9,880.
Last year Ed P. McDermott es
sayed to win laurels' in the Sixth con
gressional race, but failed, Uncle
Moses again winning by a big ma
jority, though handicapped by the
Wilson popularity, his majority over
McDermott was 11,242, the largest in
his whole career.
The entrance of Senator Beal into
the race will make no difference to
the plans of Secretary of State Pool,
who has been casting longing eyes
in the direction of the Sixth congres
sional race track. Mr. Pool has not
lived in that district very long, but
is said to be mighty popular among
the denizens of that clime, so the
filing of Senator Beal may not dis
courage him.
Supreme Court Orders
Union Men Up for Contempt

GERMAN PILOT
WRECKS U.S. SHIP
AND DISAPPEARS
Masauerades as Helmsman
and Steers Alaska Liner on
to Rocks With 237 Pas
sengers on Board.
Seattle, Wash., Jan. 14. Federal
agents asserted here today that a
German spy pilot masquerading as a
helmsman under the name of "Will
iam Swanson" stood at the . wheel of
the Alaska liner Spokane when it
crashed on the rocks off Idol Point,
B. G, on the night of November 22,
1917, while bound from southeastern
Alaska for Seattle with 237 passen
gers. "Swanson" has disappeared, the
agents said. With Carl Else, a Ger
man, and Carl Wiltsche, an Austrian,
members of the crew, he was arrest'
ed November 28 on his arrival here
The three were released December 1
"Swanjon" was not a member of
the Spokane's crew, it was said. He
went aboard the ship when it left
Alaska for Seattle, mingled with the
crew and passed himself off as a
quartermaster, the federal investiga
tors explained. They said he was
able to succeed in his deception as
the Spokane, on the voyage, had a
new set of deck officers, who were
unfamiliar with the faces of the ves
sel's crew.
An investigation was conducted
by the United States "Steamship in
spectors into the wreck of the Spo
kane. Last week the investigation
came to an end and it wai admitted
that no further probing would be
done until Swanson is found.
The Spokane was floated from the
Idol Point rocks some time after it
struck. No lives were lost in the
accident.

ARREST FORMER
FRENCH PREMIER
M. Caillaux, Whose Immunity
Was Suspended, Now Held in
Connection With Treason
Against Government.
Ily Asaoclated TreM.)
Paris, Jan. 14. Former Premier
Joseph Caillaux, who has been under
investigation by the authorities in
connection with the German propa
ganda in France, was placed under
arrest this morning.
More or less undefined murmurings
in French political circles against for
mer Premier Caillaux, which had per
sisted for months were brought to a
head last November with open
charges, published by Gustav Harve
in his newspaper. La Victoire, that M.'l
Caillaux had conspired during his
stay in Italy a year ago, with no
torious advocates of a peace dishon
orable to France and with being the
indefatigible protector of Bolo Pasha,
now on the point of being tried for
dealings with the enemy.
Accused of Treason.
Aitnougn tne tormer premier
promptly brought suit against M.
Herve, the clamor of accusation
against him grew more insistent and
one of the early acts of the Clemenc-
eau government was to bring charges
against him in the Chamber of Depu
ties. He was speciafically accused in
these of planning in Rome the sign
ing of a treaty of alliance, in the name
of France, with Germany, Italy and
Spain, against Great Britain and
Russia. Other treasonable relations
and activities in peace propaganda
were also charged against him.
On December 22 the Chamber of
Deputies voted a suspension of im
munity for M. Caillaux in order that
he might be tried. An order was
shortly after signed for his prosecu
tion and he was put under pre
liminary examination by a military in
vestigator. When the question of im
munity came up in the chamber, M.
Caillaux, in a fiery speech, denied his
guilt. ,
ITALIANS RAIN
BOMBS BY TON ON
GERMAN LINES
Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Jan. 13. Italian aviators have
carried out a successful bombing ex
pedition against Primolano, an im
portant railway terminus, constituting
the enemy's lines of communications
for troop supplies to the fighting
front.
Two tons of bombs were dropped
on extensive storehouses and en
campments around the terminus and
caused serious damage, further inter
rupting the enemy's lines of com
munications, already seriously af
fected by the mountain snows.
During the raid the Italian aviators
saw enemy troops compelled to re
sort to skis to get over the deep
drifts.
Meningitis Stamped
Out at Camp Funston
Camp Funston, Jan. 14. (Special
Telegram.) Meningitis has been
stamped out so completely here that
there has not been a new case since
December 30. Pneumonia has been
reduced to less than an average of
one new case a day, in spite of the
severe weather.
Measles of all kinds, including the
light type, has been brought down
until there were only five new cases
Friday, the last day for which reports
have been made.
