Burglar Alarm on Ford
O H. Van Eaton, 2526 Capitol

n the efficiency of Omaha's police
iepartjnent that he installed three
ocks.jon his Ford, automobile and
then spent yesterday afternoon fig
uring out how an electric burglar
'arm could be attached to his
tlivver.
."During the last three weeks there
have been two automobiles stolen in
jur blojk. neither of which has been
ecovered." said Van Eaton to Police
Captain Vanous last night. "Friday
night, they tried to steal my car, but
were scared away. Today- I got a
lock for the coil box, one for the
steering wheel and one for the rear
wheels. I also have an electric bur
glar alarm fixed so that;iwhen any
one attempts to start the car an
llarm will sound in my bedroom and
I'll be on hand a minute later .to
shoot to kill.
"Recently, two shots were fired in
the night in the alley behind my
home. None of the neighbors can
account for the mysterious shooting.
aJJ.hough all 'heard it. My wife
frightened a burglar out of the din
ing room a few weeks ago and last
week our next door neighbor chased
another out of his home.
"There is no officer on that beat.
The police department told us to
wait until something else like that
' happened and then telephone them."

ilv. . "In the east there is a police7
officer on hand when you want one,"

BODY OF HARRY
'SPARBERFOUND
IN EASTOMAHA
Corpse Found in Weeds Iden
tified by Walter Collins;
" Police Look for Red
Headed Man.
Harry Sparber, 309 South Elev
enth street,, was murdered and
robbed last Sunday afternoon near
the Illinois Central trackajn East
Omaha, by a mysterious red-haired
man for whom the police are comb
ing Omaha.
..Sparber's badly, decomposed body
was found yesterday noon in a field
of weeds in East Omaha, where it
had been dragged , by the murderer.
It was identified by its clothing by
Walter Collins, a friend of the mur
dered man.
More than -$100 in cash, known to
have been carried by Sparber, was
missing. The body was lying face
downward and indicated that there
had been no struggle where it lay.
The body was in such a state that
it was impossible to tell whether the
man was white or black.
Dr. A. J, Edstrom who made a
cursory" examination, of the body
whereit was found said it was im
possible to tell whether the, man
had been struck on the head or
shot. The murderer evidently
killed his t victim some distance
away and hid the body in the weeds.
The tody was unidentified until
Walter Cpllins, 320 North Fifteenth
street came to Central police station
last night and gave the police their
first clew.
"Sparber and a tall red-headed
man left Sparber's home last Sun
day to go swimming in East
Omaha," said Collins. "Sparber
has not yet come back. He had
more than $100 cash with him when
he left. Friends of Sparber have
seen the red-haired fellow several
times, since, but I can't find any
one who was talking to him. The
red-haired manhas , been begging
Sparker to go swimming With him
fcr some time.
Collins was sent to Stack & Fal
coner's undertaking establishment
Lto identify the body. The body
had already been buried. 1 he
clothes, however were identified by
Collins as those worn by Sparber
last Sunday.
Gustave Marcus, 307 South Elev
enth street, said he saw Sparber and
the red-haired man together on the
Illinois "Central tracks " in East
Omaha early last Sunday afternoon.
A letter in Sparber's room asking
that he write to his home as his
folks were worried, was signed by
his sister, Alice Niemann, 564
Sickles street, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Sparber had no relatives here. He
was about 36 years old. He was em
ployed by the Omaha Distributing
company.

public, when he rose to speak at a
luncheon jn his honor Saturday. He
was borne on the shoulders of guests
and carried around the room as he
waived an Irish flag in pne hand and
an American flag in the other. "
Mr. De Valera came to Chicago
in the morning nd was received by
a committee 1 of 100. and a large
crowa. . Among ine events on nu
program, Monday is a mass meeting
at the National .League base ball
park. "
In his luncheon address, Mr. De
Valera told his auditors they were
like time whom your great un
coin ironically derided as upholders
of the great principle that 'if one
mart-makes a slave of another, it is
nobody else's business.
Desire Independence.
. "The people of self-determination
to select their own government," he
said, "is the basis of no fewer than
ten of the fourteen points which
your president put forward as Amer
ica s aims in the war and the grounds
on which "America would make
peace." So, he said, the Irish people
had seized the opportunity of the
recent elections to prove in a peace
ful manner that they desired an in
dependent republics
"The word 'secession' as applied
to our movement for independence
is a misapplication of the term, for
there has been no previous volun
tary union or partnership," he said,
Our only demand of tngland is
that her forces of occupation be re
moved in order that the government
set up by the Irish people, the de
jure government, of which I have
the honor to be the chief- executive,
may function as the people desire it
to function.
Want U, S. Recognition.
"The recognition of this govern
ment and of the republic by the
American nation as the true govern
ment of Ireland will materially as
sist us in our efforts to carry out the
will of the people. I feel certain
that the American government will
respond to the wishes of the Ameri
can people, nad T believe that this
demonstration today is a clear indi
cation of the wishes of the people
of this great city."
"Deprecates Criticism.
Referring to the hissing of the
name President Wilson at de
Valera's New York meeting, the
speaker said:
"What I think is this: I would be
deeply humiliated if my .presence
here in your country and my ad
vocacy . of the just and reasonable
claims of the Irish people should be
made the occasion of - any demon
strations of hostility to your presi
dent. He is your president and
whilst, as Americans, you have a
right no doubt to criticise, you will
forgive me for saying I feel it ii
not in good taste before a stranger.
I am here to get the aid of all
lovers . of liberty in America and
they embrace all sections. Those
who would identify us with any
sections and those who act un
worthily of what is a holy cause,
are, ever, though it be uncon
sciously, the worst .enemies of
Ireland.
"Finally. I cannot see any good
purpose that is served by the press
exaggeration of the New York in
cioen. As I pounted out this
morning, one or two in a meeting
would be a very obvious device for
those who are opposed to our cause
to send agents for that purpose."
Highwaymen Elude
Trap Laid for Them
by City Detectives
Omaha detectives last night laid a
trap for the party of men and women
who hae been holding up Omahans
during the early morninS: hours re
cently, but without results.
Four detectives, armed with double-barrelled
shotguns and high
calibered revolvers, drove about
town all night in a police emergency
car seeking the bandits.
Occasionally-the police car would
stop on some boulevard and the four
detectives would proceed to "repair"
a tire. ' Instead of using tire tools,
they drew . their revolvers and
crouched at the side of their machine
in hopes that the, bandit would ac
cost theni, but no one that even
looked like a hold-up caught their
gaze. -
Early in the evening Detective
Johnnie Pszanowski arrested Harry
L. Rogers, O'Brien hotel, at Fif
teenth and Harney streets, believing
that he is one of the gang. Rogers
says his home is in Atchison, Kan.
He is booked at Central Station for
investigation. He denies he is one
of the gang
