WORLMlElOOK
CAUGHT IN GOTHAM
Jules Waterbary, Who Com
mitted Many Crimes in Eng.
land and America, Charged
With Grand Larceny.
New York, March 3- Jules Water
bury, known to the police of two con
tinfnts as "Doc" Waterbury, was ar
raigned in police court yesterday
charged with attempted grand lar
ceny. He was specifically accused of
having obtained a check for $1,000
after he had visited Camp Dix in the
guise of an army officer and repre
sented himself as interested in a
movement to provide books for the
soldiers. i . '
' Waterbury has more than once
been the object of an international
chase. He was arrested :n London
for swindling in 1904 and four years
later victimized a number of national
legislators by representing that he
was a newspaper correspondent, and
for a consideration would have pic
tures and complimentary notices of
them included in a book he said was
in preparation. In 1909 he was ar
rested in New York and sentenced
to 18 months in the federal prison at
Atlanta.
Arrested Wrong Man.
The police of Los Angeles took
him into custody in 1912 on the
charge that he was implicated in the
theft of $86,000 worth of securities
from Bancroft and company of New
York in 1911. The same year h;
jumped hi3 bail on another charge
and the New York police tabled Scot
land Yard that he had sailed for Eng
land under the name of J. Howard
Ford. The ital Ford happened to be
on the ship and was detained on his
arrival in England for several days
before the question of his identity
was straightened out.
In January, 1916, Waterbury
pleaded guilty to a charge of grand
larceny, second degree in New York,
after he had been brought back from
Montreal following his operations in
obtaining "memberships" in the Grid
iron club, a Washington organization
of newspaper correspondents. His
operations along numerous other lines
have involved him with the police of
various other cities.

While he was manager of the Omi

ployed Mrs. Nicman for a number of
years m the jewelry store.
A year ago Mr.- Edmonston re
signed as manager of that establish

business for himself. Among the
clerks of the Loftis establishment he
took with him to his new place of

PREACHER SAYS
WAR WILL NOT BE
FOUGHT IN VAIN
Lutheran Pastor, Veteran of
'61, Declares Sacrifice of
Life Will Pay in
the End.
Rev. George Washington Snyder,
pastor of Ludden Memorial Lutheran
! church, preached yesterday morning
on "The Soldier.'! Rev. Mr. Snyder
is a veteran of the civil war. Pie
had near relatives in the Mexican war
and the war of 1812, and both his
grandfathers fought in Washington's
army throughout the revolutionary
war.
The Grand Army quartet of civil
war veteran sang several numbers
during the service.
"The soldier who is fiithtiiii? battles
j at the front expects and must have
our loyal support," said Rev. Mr. Sny
der. "And he is getting it and will
get more and more of it as the war
goes on. For patriotism is contagious.
At the start some are lukewarm, but
the spirit of patriotism will pervade
them. They can't resist it. We ought
to love our government and this great
j country that has given us everything
tnat we Hold dear.
"Will this great war pay? Will the
world be enough better to pay for
the sacrifice of life and treasure and
peace? We believe, we think; yes,
we know it will 'pay.' We know that
the civil war 'paid.' We know the
revolutionary war 'paid.' We know
that Europe gained benefits by the
overthrow of Napoleon that were
easily worth the sacrifices of the long
war of those days. So it will be with
this war.
Is Church's Duty.
"Some people think it ' isn't right
for the church to advocate war. But
I tell you it is the church's duty when
war is being fought for. high ideals.
"I do not believe this will be the
last war. Human aspirations are
bound to bring war. The aspirations
of different ideals are bound to come
into conflict. In fact, in all the his
tory of the world it has always been
through the conflict of battle that the
world has advanced. For God fights
behind the right ideals and, though
He may send us through the fierce
fire of sacrifice to test our courage,
He will bring victory. God has a
reason for this great conflict, just
as He had for the civil war, and what
He wants in this war He will get.
"Let us remember, too, these times
when so much fault is being found,
that in civil, war days men denounced
Abraham Lincoln and, General Grant.
Yet today we know that these men
seem to have been raised up by God
to preserve our beloved country.
"Let us be courageous soldiers,
wearing the bright armor of loyalty
to our great government and with im
plicit faith that God is with us in
this great conflict, which shall make
the world better."

CHEROKEE IN POOR
. TRIM WHEN SUNK
Commander; of Craft Which
Took Down Thirty People
Wrote Letter to Father
Concerning Condition.
Gloucester, Mass., March 3. The
naval tug Cherokee, which foundered
off the Deleware capes last Tuesday,
causing the loss of nearly 30 lives was
sent to sea notwithstanding the re
ports of her commander, Lieutenant
Edward D. Newell of this t.ty, to the
Navy department that she Mas un
seaworthy, according to a letter given
out tonight by Dr. Gearge H.. Newell,
tatlicr of the young officer. Lieu
tenant Newell went down with his
ship. 1 -
Dr. and Mrs. Newell left here todav
for Philadelphia to be present at the'
court of inquiry into the ship s loss,
which convenes on Monday in that
city. Before his departure Dr. Newell
made public a letter winch he wrote
to Secretary Daniels.
Camouflaged by Name.
"At the time of his (Lieutenant
Newell's) last visit home, February
17," Dr. Newell wrote, "he stated
that the reason for changing the name
of the Cherokee was for the purpose
of blinding the public to the worth
lessness of the kind of craft for which
they are speeding the people's money.
Furthermore, after his fruitless, ap
peals . to the various officials With
whom he was in touch, he had with
him his final appeal written kn offi
cial paper,, which he had addressed to
your office at Washington, giving
many reasons wherein the vessel was
unseaworthy, one of the things
specifically . mentioned being the
steering gear, which was apparently
the principal cause of ihe disaster.
Blames Officials.
"Knowing all this, and with full
appreciation of the responsibility
resting in him for the lives of those
of whom he was in command, there
can be ho question of his obeying
an order to put to sea. It would
seem the responsibility lies not with
those who gave this order, but rather
with those who from inefficiency or
something much worse, made it
possible under the existing conditions,
and there is going to be many an
aching hearts of those who have
boys still in the service until the
government has convinced them that
another such calamity is , not to be
repeated."

beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you

and digging of the scalp will stop, and

dred times better. You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. It is inex
pensive and four ounces is all you will

NEAR SIDE STOP
APPLIED TO THE
STREETIAILWAY
New Order of Things Causes
Some Misunderstandings, But
Plan Works Out Fairly
Well From the Start. '
Omaha was introduced again yes
terday to .the nearside street car stop.
Notwithstanding signs on the front
of cars and signs inside of the cars,
citizens in some instances forgot all
about the new order of things and
waited for cars at the old corners.
Patrons rushed from the far-side cor
ners when they observed the cars at
the near-sides, and they indulged in
laughs over their absent mindedness.
At Twenty-eighth and Leavenworth
streets, a stout woman with two chil-
dren stood on the far-side fpr a car
which stopped on the other corner.
The motorman realized the woman's
mistake and motioned for her to walk
to the other corner, but she motioned
back for him to come over to her cor
ner, whereupon a chivalrous man
rushed up and explained to the woman
who made some remark about the
perversity of things in general,; and
street cars in particular. . ' ,
Street Car Officials Satisfied.
Street , car company' officials ex
pressed satisfaction over the results
of the near-stop regime. They an
ticipated there would be some mis
understandings and that it is human
to forget, so they instructed their
men to be a little lenient for a few

tions. , '
One of the "effects of the near-side
stop in some instances Will be to
change the waiting places from drug
stores to other stores or to vacant,
corners, or to corners where inside
accommodations are . not available.
For instance, the southwest .corner
drug store at Twenty-fourth and
Leavenworth streets has been popular
as a waiting place for persons who
transferred to southbound crosstown
cars. Now these cars stop on the
northwest corner, where there is a
soft drink parlor; '.
Burgess-Nash Stores

The . Burgess-Nash company last
night began closing its store at'. 6
o'clock instead of 9 o'clock,' as an
nounced at a 'recent meeting oi the
associated retailers.
General Manager Redmond in com
menting upon the important . move
taken by the store, said: , "It has been
our desire ever since we opened the
store under the name of Burgess
Nash to close on Saturdays , at 6
o'clock and give our organization that
consideration to which it is entitled.
"We realUe that it. was ; a radical
move for a young organization to
make and naturally hesitated. K.-
"For several ' months last year we
kept, records of our sales between .the
hours of 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock on
Saturday, and found the percentage
so small in proportion to the total
business of the day, and., being, able
to give the closing a good tryout dur
ing the last few weeks, we decided to
continue to close. We will remain
closed every Saturday after 6 o'clock.
