j Robber Gun Number
May Be Clue.
i Railroad and city detectives are
i without a trace of the lone bandit
f who held up the mail car on Union
; Pacific Overland Limited train No.
Friday nieht as the train was
speeding between " Fremont and
'Omaha.
A possible chance of identifying
i the bandit by means of a serial num
. ber on a .38 caliber revolver dropped
by him in the mail car while he was
5 making his escape through a sky
" light, may result from an invesfrga
' tion being made by detectives. The
f gun was unloaded.
if In the bi'icf that the bandit was
' a railroad employe oa account of
his apparent knowledge of mail cars,
his use of a railroad signal man's
hook in tearing open the pouches
and the fact that he escaped at a
railroad junction where he prob
ably knew the train would slow up,
detectives are covering railroad
"yards in Omaha and Fremont inan
effort to learn the identity of the
outlaw.
".. Looted Registered Mail.
The masked robber rifled nine mail
pouches while his six victims, all
clcrk3, remained imprisoned in. a
clothes closet inside the car andn
the rear .vestibule of the mail car.
No alarm of the holdup was given
witil the train pulled into the Union
station at 8:40.
.. The loot taken bv the bandit con
sisted solely of contents of regis
. tercd mail, the clerks said.
- The bandit is thought to have es
caped from the train at Thirty
Second avenue station, a junction of
the Union Pacific and Northwestern
tailroad tracks leading into Omaha.
"' Truck handlers at the Union sta
tion found the six clerks huddled in
a clothes closet of the car and a
rear vestibule when the train pulled
jnto the station.'

close the nature of the legal action
he has promised to start on Mon
day" But he expresses confidence
in the corning case in court. He
declines to even stipulate before
what body he will present his plea.
Auorneys for the two convicts
have labored without rest all winter
in seemingly futile efforts to secure
commutation of the death sentence
to one of life imprisonment, finally
resorting Sto rumors this last week
of seeking to prove that -their clients
are insane, in an attempt to cheat
the electric chair of its victims.
V. Say Both Men Sane.
It was decided however, that this
action would have to be originated
in the district court in which the
two men were convicted, and then
only upon recommendation of the
warden of the penitentiary.
Warden ' Fenton declined to re
quest an investigation by the court
into the ssnity of Cole and Gram-
mer, however, on the strength of a
report made to him by three phy
sicians of Lincoln that they con
sidered both men able to distinguish
between right and wrong, although
of the opinion that they are moral
degenerates.
The supreme court of the United
States refused to have anything, to
do with' Cole's case, in Washington
two weeks ago, and the United
States circuit court of appeals last
Tuesday in St. Louis dismissed an
appeal by Cole's attorney from a de
cision by Judge 1. C: Hunger re
fusing a writ of habeas corpus:
As the case now stands, Cole and
Grammer will die next Friday by
electrocution. This will be the first
instance of legalized electrocution
in the history of Nebraska.
A new electric chair, installed
several weeks ago for the express
purpose of taking the lives of Cole
and Grammer, stands ready for its
victims now. '
Executioner Hulburt, called to
Lincoln for the execution January
'"CZ; """"" 'Jjtmm
16, tested th- chair and made finish
ing touches to the appliances before
returning to New York, after Gov
ernor McKelvie issued a stay of
execution for both men, pending
action of the courts in Cole's case.
This action has been completed,
however, during the past. week, and.
unless phenomenal results accrue
from the promised action Monday;
which Attorney Priest has an
nounced he intends to start, the
Lulu Vogt murder will be avenged
next Friday.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Allen Grammer,
young wife of one of the convicted
murderers and daughter of the mur
dered woman, continues to pay daily
visits to the state prison to see her
husband, in whom she continues to
believe.
Believes Husband Innocent.
Throughout the long trial since
her mother was first found mur
dered and her husband first connect
ed with the. crime by confession of
his present cellmate and former em
ploye, she has professed steadfast
belief in Grammer's innocence.
Grammer was convicted on the
strength of a confession to the mur
der by .Cole, who claimed that he
had been offered $500 by Grammer
to kill Mrs. Vcgt.
The many delays in execution
have been brought about by aption
on the part of Cole's attorneys,
Grammer's sentence being likewise
delayed because of the closeness of
the "two cases in the same crime.
Little hope for either man is ex
pressed in official circles here. Ij is
generally believed that the execu
tion has been put off for the last
time and that next Friday both con
victs will die in the electric chair
according to present schedule.
Gompers Urges Labor
Of South America to
Hurry Organization
Washington, Jan. 31. Workers in
the Latin-American republics are
urged in a manifesto issued by Sam
uel Gompers, chairman, and other
officials of the Pan-American Fed
eration of Labor, to organttE na
tional labor associations for affilia
tion with the Pan-American organ
ization. Calling attention to the third Pan
American Labor congress to be held
in Mexico City, beginning July 12,
the manifesto says tho workers in
the Americas should begin now to
make preparations for sending their
representatives to this gathering.
"Collective action by the national
labor movement of all the American
countries through the Pan-American
Federation of Labor," says the
manifesto, "will be a potent factor in
protecting the American continent
from being Overrun by military
domination, and above all, will
contribute to the establishment of
the most friendly relations between
the American countries.

cannot begin too soon. When Oliver Wendell
Holmes was asked when the education of the
child should begin, he said: "100 years before the
. child is born. ;
Flood your daughter's life with music. You want hefto have rhythm in her walk, and grace
in every gesture. You want to hear the music in her laughter and see the twinkle in her eye. And
you want to be sure that there is melody in her soul. i ' . ,
Her womanhood will unfold in its most attractive form. She will grow up as you would like
to see her grow inwardly and outwardly. The music will get into her soul. Her character will be
molded under its influence. x ' ' "
She will attract the stranger who meets her, and be loved by those who "know her. She will
make a good wife and a good mother, and she will radiate sunshine. . - -
Give your daughter the benefits of music. Bring it into your home. It is ftpt too late and it
can never be too early, rou and every member of your family need it. - ,

stick. It was further predicted that
all of the Wood activities wouldn
the end but serve to call' the atten
tion of the country to the desirabil
ity of nominating a military hero
for the presidency, and that what
ever influence the Wood campaign
had in this moulding, popular senti
ment would eventually result to the
advantage of Pershing.
"If the country really wants -a
military hero for president, why not
take the biggest one, one who has
seen service and proven his abilties,
rather than one whose chief military
activities have been in fighting
germs and vermin and who never
came within 2,000 miles of the world
war battle lines?" v ., -Many
Are Impressed.
This is the gist of comment one
hears around the capitol nowadays
when the Wood candidacy is men
tioned, and quite fairly represents a
fulfilment of prophecies above re
ferred to.. The Wood boom started
off well financed and shrewdly man
aged. In addition it carried the im
petus of reflected glory from Col
onel Roosevelt; its press agents
were among the most prominent in
the profession; its managers astute
and familiar with the. game. It
made rapid progress, but the peak
has been reached. -
When folks begin to invoice Gen
eral Wood's qualifications, his
caliber and fitness, they, were confi
dent that the general's lack of train
ing or e-xperience along lines calciN
lated to develop the kind of a man
wanted for president were inade
quate. His military record is a med
ical one; his business training and
experience Jare nil; his familiarity
with political or diplomatic matter!
is ditto; his horizon limited to on
peculiar phase of army life. The r
suit is that many who were at rirsl
impressed by the Wood appeal art
now coming to the viewpoint above
