Nobody can do anything unless he comes, cap in hand, to this committee. Even the police are helpless, and the chief of police has asked the strike lead ers to co-operate with the constables in preventing disorders (and lawless ness.

CARTY HELD FOR ROBBERY OF OLlAlinOLDIER Alleged to Have Taken Large Sum While on Train; Signs Statement Taken by .Attorney Northrup. George Carty, Council Bluffs boy, win oe arraignca in ponce coun in the Bluffs this morning charged with robbing a fellow soldier who was returning with him from Camp funston, where they had been for mally discharged. In a signed State ment given to Assistant County At torney Northrup, Carty admitted that he got the money. The robbery occurred just as the train was reaching Council Bluffs yesterday morning. The victim, Charles Vleck, a Bohemian, enroute to the home of his brother at 2319 South Thirtieth street, Omaha, re ceived $230 when he was discharged at Funston, his savings from 19 months of military service. He says Carty knew he had the money and tells' a strange story of the loss of $105 of it. Vleck says Carty came intothe car just before the train reached here and in a loud voice declared he had lost $70 and was going to search all the soldiers on board to find it. He made a pretense of searching one or two and then came to Vleck, who has an imperfect understanding of the English language. Vleck says after threatening him he told Carty he had $205 in a purse in one pocket and $1 in another and that Carty took the purse, abstract ed $105 and handed the rest back. Vleck's protests attracted atten tion and Carty was turned over to officers at the Burlington station. When searched Carty had only $70 and $15 was found hidden in the lining of his coat sleeve.
