BANDIT RESCUES
WOUNDED PAL
FROM SHERIFF
Unidentified Man Fires on
Pcsse and Makes Escape
With Prisoner in
Automobile.
- Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 11. Spe
cial ) After Myron Kassett had
be on wounded by Roberts county
c fixers and had surrendered to
thorn today, a comrade, whose name
is not known, suddenly appeared,
opened fire on the sheriff's party.
rescued Bassett and fled with himJ
in a Dig autoinoone oeionging to me
two men.
Bassett left South Dakota several
years ago to evade arrest on a lar
ceny charge, and recently returned
with a comrade, the two having in
their possession an automobile. The
bondsmen of Bassett today notified
the authorities of his return to the
stjate, and Deputy Sheriff Art Jack
son and States Attorney Frank Mc
Komia went to the home of S. N.
Thompson, a farmer, to arrest Bas
rett. Mrs. Thompson is a sister of
Bassett. She denied her brother
was in the house. They searched
the downstairs rooms and then
started upstairs, but found the door
was locked.
They ordered Bassett to open the
door, which he did, at the same
time opening fire on the officers. A
hole was shot in the deputy sheriff's
hat and Bassett was wounded in the
shoulder. Bassett then surrendered
and was compelled to empty his
pockets, which contained some bank
papers and a small amount of cash.
At this juncture Bassett's pal ap
peared on the scene, coining from
upstairs and taking: the officers com
pletely by surprise. He opened fire
or. the officers and compelled them
to leave the farm to seek assistance.
The two men then entered the au
tomobile and made their escape.
They had gone but a short distance
when an accident to the car com
pelled them to abandon it. At the
point of guns they compelled a
young man named Rustad to take
them into his car. They had gone
only a few miles when a wheel
broke at a curve in the road, and the
three men left the automobile and
Bassett and his pal disappeared on
foot. It developed that Bassett had
several hundred dollars sewed in his
shirt which the officers overlooked.
Police Get Gruesome Tip;
Refuse to Search Cemetery
Citizens Say Whisky Is "Planted" in Groves by Sex
ton, Who Delivers it to Agents in Automobiles
Job Too Big for Coppers.
Omaha police last night refused
to arrest a bootlegger.' They re
fused to "have anything to do with
him," refused even to curtail his
traffic in contraband.
Thus far he is the one bootlegger
in Omaha whom police openly re
fuse to prosecute.
Two citizens appeared at Central
station last night and volunteered
to show the police what they called
the most extensive bootlegging cen
ter in the citv. '
They explained that the sexton in
charge of a certain cemetery in
Omaha is the man who conducts
the illicit traffic.
"Sometimes cars drive into the
cemetery with flowers for graves,"
explained the informants. "The
driver of the car places the offerings
on the mounds and then motors over
to the sexton's house. The sexton
joins him and they motor to some
freshly-made grave and there ex
hume part of the remains of Old
John B. Corn. The sexton covers
the grave again and delivers the
whisky to the driver of the car.
"Each time a customer comes, the
sexton gets the whisky out of a dif
ferent grave."
That last bit of information was
enough for the coppers.
"Do you want us to get a squad
of police and search every grave in
the cemetery?" queried one.
"The newspapers would 'ride" us
to death," was the sage comment of
another. "If that sexton wants to
bootleg we'll have to let him do it
he's one fellow that has complete
protection."
The two citizens promised to
swear to the truth of their allega
tions, but no copper could be found
who would search a grave for liquor.
Even the state agents balked.
Robbed by Maid.
Mrs. F. C. Dexter, Nathan apart
ments, Sixteenth street and Willis
avenue, reported to the police last
night that a new maid whom she
hired yesterday, quit her employ last
night, taking a $300 diamond solitaire.

SAYS WILSON
PLANS WORLD
OF DISORDER
Poindexter Takers President to
Task for Negotiations
at Paris in Senate
Address.
Washington, Aug. 11. Criticising
President Wilson today in the sen
ate for his negotiations at Paris,
Senator Poindexter, republican,
Washington, declared that by "gen
eral phrases" the president had
"aroused aspirations which he is in
capable of satisfying."
"Quoting from his propaganda,"
said Senator Poindexter, "the com
munists demand, under threat of
revolution, that the railroads be
given, at public expense, into the
possession and management of the
operatives and employes.
Making World of Disorder.
"It is as though the president has
received the world as a toy and pro
ceeded to take it apart in order to
reconstruct it on a new plan. He
has declared the end of the old or
der and substitutes for it the new
disorder."
Senator Poindexter said the presi
dent had trespassed on the constitu
tional powers of congress, neglected
his duties in domestic affairs and
used his official influence "to tres
pass upon independent jurisdiction
of the states of California and Utah,
by attempting to interfere with the
course of justice in those states."
"The constitution vests in con
gress exclusive control of foreign
trade," said Senator Poindexter.
"The president has entered into a
compact whereby the supervision of
the trade of the United States in
munitions of war shall be vested in
a league of nations.
Cannot Increase Army.
"The constitution vests in congress
unlimited power 'to raise and sup
port armies' and 'to provide and
maintain a navy'. The president has
negotiated a covenant whereby
when the status of the army and
navy has been fixed, the same can
not be increased without the per
mission of the league of nations.
"He has attempted to set up a
government separate and apart from
the government of the United States
with distinct and foreign powers of
its own, and has agreed, in article
16 of the its constitution, that the
United States shall be subject to its
coercion should the United States
declare war contrary to its decrees."
