"I have directed the county attor
ney to file charges of murder against
Alvin Wick and J. M. .Tames in con
nection with the death of Frank
Glynn," announced Chief Briggs of
the city detective department.
"William Bruce has identified both
men, and M. E. Anderson has iden
tified James, but is not positive as
to Wick, although he said that Wick
resembled one of the two hold-up
men who stopped, Glynn. Anderson
and Bruce early Christmas morn
ing." Briggs added.
James was identified in police
court by Bruce when the former
was brought iii with a group of
meh charged with intoxication.
James told the police that his ad
dress is 1721 Davenport street, and
that he has been employed as a
waiter at the Millard.
Chief Briggs stated that he hart
sufficient evidence to warrant .!'
filing of charges of murder against
Wick and James, and he added that
he expects to obtain more ev:
dence.

. How the Rotogravure section 'f
The Omaha Sunday Bee has glad
dened the hearts of the relatives of
Private R. E. Kryselmire of Clarin
da, la., is told tersely in a letter just
received from his brother, W. Fr
Kryselmire, 211 Bay State Block,
Sioux City, la., and another from his
sister, Mrs. D. G. Blair of Torrinjj
ton, Wyo.
His brother and sister each explain
in their letter .that Private Krysel
mire was attached to Company L,
357th infantry, American expedi
tionary forces. They received notice
through the War department, Oc
tober 10, that he was "reported miss
ing in action." No further word con
cerning hfm was received and one
can imagine the joy of these rela
tives when they identified theli
brother's picture in a recent Bee
Rotogravure section. The picture
shows three wounded soldiers at the
American Red Cross hospital No.
1, Neuilly, France.
Identification Complete.
Both Mrs. Blair's letter from Tor
rington and Mr. Krysclmire's letter
from Sioux City were written the
same (lay. Their immediate indenti
lieation of their brother speaks vol
utins for the high grade photograph
ic reproduction made possible by the
rotogravure process, more so from
the fact that the identification wis
niiidc from i "group" picture.
The story of the anxious relatives
of Private hryselmire is best told
by the following reproduction of
their letters: ,

LOANS REPAID
"Dr. Perry," Who Borrowed
from Cr.iaha Men, Said
to Be Living in ,
New York.
Here is a chance for Columbia
university alumni in Omaha who
have been unfortunate eruough to
meet the affable "Dr. Perry," and
make him a "personal" loan, to get
their money back maybe.
According to this, month's issue
of the Columbia Alumni News, they
haje located "Dr. Perry," an aged
aristocratic appearing alumnus of
that university who has traveled all
over the United States, making it a
practice to locate former students of
that school and secure small loans of
$5 to $10 on the strength of some
acquaintance or the acqaintance of a
friend, or that "he was a dear friend
of some graduate recently deceased."
"Makes" Omaha.
"Dr. Perry" was in Omaha a little
over a year ago, and is sajd to have
negotiated some of his favorite
loans while here. At 'that time he
said he was stopping with relatives
in Benson.
Henry L. Norris, superintendent
of buildings of Columbia university
says:
"Dr. Perry's address is (or wes)
129 West Ninetieth Street, and it
might be advisable to request all of
his victims, through the Alumni
News, to cdhimunicate with him as
to their loans. It seems that Perry
it a habitual borrower, but has been
cagey enough to keep within the
letter of the law throughout his en
tire operations. He has apparently
confined himself to small loans and
has in every case given his own
name. I do not think, however, that
he will continue his line of graft for
some time to come."
"It is very evident that Dr. Perry
has had a well thought-out method
of approaching graduates of the uni
versity, and that he has worked it
to a fare-you-well without seeming
to realize that he has been shadowed
and that the alumni in general have
been warned against his activities. It
is requested that any alumni who
have loaned him money notify the
Alumni office, as he promised and
swore that he would return any
money that he borrowed from any of
the graduates if a list was furnished
him. If, in the future, any alumni
are approached by "Dr. Perry" on
his former mission the Alumni office
wishes to be notified immediately
that he has resumed his profitable
campaign."
McAdoo Urges People
to Hold Liberty Bonds;
Market Will go to Par
The Omaha branch of the Federal
Reserve bank has received an appeal
from Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo, urging all owners of
Liberty bonds to "hold on to them."
This is a part of the publicity
campaign aimed toward discourag
ing "sharks" and "blue sky" stock
salesmen from getting thesevmost
valuable securities from holders in
exchange for things of doubtful
value.
It is known that this form of
profiteering is going on to a wide ex
tent in this country, especially since
the war ended. Liberty bonds are
being bought up at prices ranging
from $95' down to $50 for a $100
bond, it is said. . ,
"Only ignorant people will sell
at any such prices." said a banker,
"and only unpatriotic people will sell
at any price just now unless they
absolutely have to have the money.
Liberty bonds will go above rir
some day and those who part with
them now will be sorry.
HUNS FULFILL
ARMISTICE IN
THEIRRETREAT
Lieut. Fred Heyn Tells of Im
mense Amounts of War
Materials Abandoned
by German Army.
Germans automatically fulfilled
terms of the armistice dealing with
giving up ammunition and guns in
their retreat through France and
Btlgium, according to a letter writ
ten by Lieut. Fred Heyn, brother
of Lester and Jerom Heyn.
"The amount of abandoned Ger
man material is simply stupendous
and I have seen only a little of it.
Heavy howitzers, 77-millimeter field
pieces, long-range, high-angle guns,
anti-aircraft guns, caissons, limbers
and tractors which accompany such
ordnance, line every road and are
parked in fields all over the country.
Millions of rounds of ammunition
of all sorts, in amounts impossible
to imagine were left in the district
of Montmedy," he wrote.
Little Damage at Stenay.
Young Heyn wrote there was lit
tle in the country from Dun to Ste
nay, through which he passed late
in November, to indicate the terri
tory had been fought over two
weeks before except for the roads
and fields showing evidence of ar
tillery fire, an occasional ruined
building, dead horses and wrecked
artillery material.
"After coming from those terrible
churned-up fields about erdun and
in the Argonne, the amount of dam
age here seemed trivial. Of course,
the only reason the upper Meuse
country is not totally destroyed is
simply that the Germans were in
too much of a hurry to save them
selves to bother with destroying
what they passed."
French People Game.
Lieutenant Heyn wrote at great
length of the indignities the civilian
population in the recaptured towns
told of having endured in the four
years of German occupation. No
payment was made to the French
for billeting German officers who
ruined homes, despoiled them of
personal belongings of the owners
and shipped everything valuable
home to Germany.

ba'.tle, at Demain and Valencennes.
He was twice wounded, a bullet in
the leg and shrapnel in the thigh,
passed six weeks in a hospital and
returned to his brigade three days
before fighting ceased.
"The people can't do too much for
our brigade. We were reviewed by
the Prince of Wales and other big
I men, and also by the French gov
i ernment. They are going to deco
I rate us with something. This will
I come later," wrote young Rogerson
to his uncle, Fred Rogerson, on the
circu ation staff of The Bee.
Brother Killed in Action.
Th; Omaha lad, who is English
boin.-lost a brother, Eric, killed in
action. Another brother, Allen, was
taken prisoner, but was released and
the two boys met for Christmas in
their parents' home in Manchester
for the first time in five years. Bert
was the only one who came to this'
country.
"I guess I accounted for quite a
ntinil'er of Huns for I was a ma
chine' gunner for three or four
months and used the gun in these
last big scraps. Maybe you've read
about the Lewis gun. It fires hun
dred.' of bullets every minute, I've
avenged Eric's death dozens and
dozens of times," he wrote.
"Our excitement over the armi
stice was of a different kind for we
were busy freeing the people and
fixing some of their homes up. also
gettirg ready for the big march to
the Rhine. We've had no rest at
all since the end of July. The Ca

time.
"When they took us down south

platoon of 45 men only nine canr;

up to Arras, where we went into

hard for us. Anyway we fixed him!
It was hard to keep the people in
doors whilst the fighting was going
on. In Demain we entered the town
at one end and Fritz was leaving it
at the other. The Canadians have
the honor of taking Mons just a
few hours before the armistice was
signed.

and reminded me of London.
Hun Cruel to End.
German cruelty did not cease with
the signing of the armistice. Prison
ers they held were released without
food, according to the Omaha lad s
letter.
"There were thousands of pris
oners, including British, and wc had
quite a talk with some of them.
Fritz brought them to the frontier
and released them without food.
Anyway, if wasn't long before they
were fixed up, and now there are

While Omaha ranks high in bank
clearings and commercial enter
prises, it is careful that in the world
march of progress its religious side
of life is not neglected. It has a
system of churches and Sunday
schools which is excelled by few of
even the much largest cities.
Omaha has more than 200 Sunday
schools with a combined enrollment
of nearly 15,000. The classes are
taught by trained instructors and
their work is . systematized and
graded. The lessons and methods
of teaching are adapted to the intelli
gence of the pupil. Many of the
Omaha schools use the International
syste. i which provides the lesson for
each week graded to suit all classes.
This unifies the work of the school
during a single day and makes it
easier for the superintendent to pro
vide for substitute teachers.
Largest in West.
Omaha boasts of the largest and
best instructed religious schools m
this part of the country, the new
First Presbyterian Sunday school
has the most modern quarters in
the citv. while the Kountze Me
morial school is bv far the largest,
having an enrollment of 850. The
first Baptist church is proud to have
the oldest class m the city taught for
the last 26 years by John K. Web
ster. Omaha's first Sunday school class
was formed in the winter of 1855
1856 by B. H. Chapman. It had hut
a score of members and represented
nearly all of the protestant denom
inations. The class met in the city
council chamber. In 1856 the "old
form" Presbyterian church organized
a Sunday school class of 15 mem
bers. In 1861 under the superin
tendency of J. H. Kellom the Second
Presbyterian church had a Bible
class of 30 which met in the court
house. The First Congregationalists
founded their first Sabbath school in
1857.
Holds School Record.
Mrs. Mary I. Creigh, a member of
the First Presbyterian church, holds
the record for Sunday school work
in Omsfha. She has taught continu
ously in the First Presbyterian
school ever since 1875.
"Dr Herbert A. Senter is another
Omahan who has spent many years
in Sunday school work. Although
born in Omaha, Dr. Senter spent his
boyhood in the country. At the age
of 11 years he first entered Sabbath
school work and'has been engaged
in it ever since. He was superintend
ent of the First Baptist church's
school from 1902 to 1905.
About the most historic class in
Omaha is the Webster Bible class
of the First Baptist church. It was
formed by its present teacher in the
early '90s and still has as active
members a few of its original mem
bers or those who joined a few years
after its organization. At present it
is the largest in Omaha, having over
100 members. It occupies sumptuous
quarters in the church and is en
gaged in many different kinds of
philanthropic work. One room in the
Old People s Home is furnished by
the class and many local charities
are benefited by generous subscrip
tions. Assist Members.
A loan fund for members of the
class is maintained, although it has
not been used for several years.
For each dollar contributed to the
fund Mr. Webster would donate an
additional dollar. This plan was also
used to swell the collections of the
primary classes at Yuletide. Each
year Rev. Conley, former pastor, is
remembered by a generous gift from
the class. This year a French or Bel
gian orphan will be adopted. This
will be the third orphan adopted.
The Webster Bible class was nev
er without its good times. Social
affairs were often given at the Hap
py Hollow club, where the members
would banquet after dividing into
teams and playing on the course dur
ing the afternoon. Mrs. M. F. Mor
rill was the original secretary of the
class. Miss Edith Spencer, now an
actress, entertained the class with
her tecitations.
Teach on July Fourth.
Teaching Sunday school on the
Fourth of July is an experience
which Mr. Webster recalls with
pleasure. Although departing
somewhat trom the practices of the
church, he presented each member
of his class that attended Sunday
school on the Fourth with a box of
firecrackers. An international pa
triotic program supplanted the les
son for the day. Mr. and Mrs. H. K.
Burket, Dr. and Mrs. A. D. Cloyd,
Amos Field, H. H. Baldrige, J. H.
Dumont. George Wilcox and Wil
liam and Henrj D. Rhoades are
some of the original members. The
following have been members for a
number of years:
Mrs. K. C. Barr. Mrs. J. C. Howard
Mrs. E. Benedict. Mrs H. Jones.
Mrs. J. W Clark. Mrs. O. T, Kemper.

J. A. Sunderland is president of
the class and George Wilcox, vice
president.
15,000 Students Attend.
Omaha now has over 200 Sunday
schools with an estimated enroll
ment of 15,000 students. The classes
have an average attendance of 15
and are taught by well-trained
young women and men. In many of
the Sunday schools the boys have
formed Boy Scout troops. The
schools are members of the Doug
las County Sunday School associa
tion, a branch of the state organiza
tion
school is the larcest in the citv with
an enrollment of 850 and an average
attendance of 680. Its large enroll
ment is due largely to its ability to
hold the students at the time other
schools are losing theirs. This
period is when the child is between
the ages of 13 and 15 years.
Separate Classes.
This school is divided into the
primary, intermediate and senior de
partments. -i he primary depart
ment, which includes children be
tween the ages of 3 and 7 years, is
said to be the best in Omaha. The
work of the teacher consists in tell
ing Bible stories to the children.
After reaching the age of 7 the child
is placed in the "sand table class."
Here the lessons are graphically il
lustrated on the sand tables, which
appeal to the children who are at the
imaginative age. At 9 years the
memory work begins. In the inter
mediate and senior departments the
International lessons are used, while
the primary departments conforms
its work to a special Lutheran
course. .
The boys' classes are taught by
men. A men's class is taught by
Rev. Mr. Baltzly. More than 100
men who attended the class are now
in service. W. D. Morton is super
intendent of the school and is as
sisted by Albert Hedelund and G.
Seaberg. Miss Edith Tegtmeyer has
charge of the primary department.
"The Lutheran Young People," a
16-page pamphlet, is distributed
weekly. There are about 3,000
Lutheran Sabbath school scholars in
Omaha.
Long Perfect Attendance.
Miss Augusta Kruse pf the school
up to a week ago Sunday had not
missed attending for 11 years. An
attack of influenza prevented her be
ing present on that day.
The First Presbyterian school is
fortunate in being able to have the
most modern quarters in this part
of the country. One wing of the
new building is devoted to the
school. On the main floor is a large
assembly room on each side of
which are six small classhooms di
vided by folding wooden partitions.
On the second floor are rooms for
classes of older persons. In the
basement is the primary department,
forced there by the Red Cross work
ers who are using their rooms for
workrooms. The very small chil
dren are separated from those a
y ar or so older. They are grouped
around tables in two large rooms
and have their assembly seoarate
from the older pppils. The primary
department has its own piano.
Pianos Aid Singing.
A woman's class has a beautifully
