o HE OMAHA DAILY BIE RIDAY DECEMBER 4 ONY A MATTER OF DOLLARS, Western Traffic Offic'als Consider Omaha's Rate Claims. UNDOUBTEDLY HAS A GOOD CASE, terested Individual On the Subject—Very Cares ful With Their Profits— Garden City Gossip. Theory of o Disis Cmcaoco Beneav or T Cineaoo, 1., De Nothing tangible was accomplished today at the conforence between Omaha repre- sentatives and the committos of western trafie men. The committes, which met in the ofice of Vice President Harris of the Burlington, listenod to the arguments in Omaha's favor and promised to ronort be- tween now and December 31. The committes also considered the equalization of grain rates to Minneapotis and Duluth. “Omaha undoubtedly has a good case.” smd a prominent official whose rond is not in- terested in this discussion, “but," ho added, “iit, takes somethiug more than agood case to win with the traffic managers, I ney are as arbitrary as the czar and no matier what procedents a city may cito for a concession it is not likely to be granted if the roads think they may possibly lose anything by it. Iv is purely @ question of dollars and cents with them.” he Train Robhers, on of a shrewd detective in in rohberies which Atter It is the opi this city that the three t have been committed since November L m the west, beginning with tne one near Omaha and endiog with that near St. Louis, were dono by one well known trio consisting of “Paddy’ Kavanaugh, “Kid” McWiliiams and the “Cyclono.” The commonly accepted idea up to last night was that the robbery ou the St. Paul road was committed by ama- teurs living in or near Racine. Therc is now good reason to believe that tho joo was done by experts and that the leaving of tho “clow by which tho detectives weve put on the trail of tho amateurs was a cloverly put up job. The details of the hold up on the 'I'risco line near St. Louis, where 350,000 was secured, aro the same as in the precod- ing robberies—tho number of masked men, whe taking back and placing under guard of the engineer ana fireman, the use of dyna- mite in forcing the express and sufle the wagon in waiting. [t is theory of wen experienced in tho hunt for eriminals—a theory borne out by experience—tuat there is a striking dis- simlarity in the metnods of gangs engaged in the same line of crime and a romarkablo similarity in the different _jobs done by one gang--that is, each gang has certain pecu- Harities of metuod. Peculiarities of the Suspocts. “Paddy” Kavanaugh, “Kid” McWilliams and the “Cyclone’’ are notorious and danger- ous safe blowers. Kavanaugh is known as “the pricst.” having beeu educated for the clerey, and is acquainted with_the locality. Ho has served a time at Joliet, but the “Kid" and “Cyclone” have never beén caught. Tho men have not been seen for somo timo and are supposed to be what is technically known a3 “undercover;” that 1s, in hiding some- where. The changeof the plan of work which the detectives havo been following, it is thought, will result in developments before long. Captain Warner, special agent of the American Iixpress company, said this morn- Ing when asked if he thought the three rob- beries were the work of the same set of men, “No, I dounot. I do think the same gang d1d the Omaha ana_St. Louis jobs, bo yever. We have clues stacked upor clues aud I got letters-from all ovor the country wanting me to como and identify persons supposed to be the robbers. | throw lotter upon letter in the waste basket. Ithink the holdup at Racine was done by two men who wore desperate, although the engincer said whon ho saw tho gun at his head he thought thero were fifty. That story of the wagon in waiting originated from a farmer's report open and an accepted that a borse with harness on and bearing marks of bard driving ran into & barnyard some distance from the robbery ou the morning that it oc- curred. 1 thing the Racine affair was an in- depeudent job because I think only two men were in it, but I think tho same persons por- otrated tho Omaha and St. Louis robberies echuse they are iaentical.” . Mr. Hinzie has several clues upon which he 1s working and which may develop some- thing. Killing Off the Sparrows. Under the new law which went into effect December 1, giving a bounty of 2 ceats for the head of each English sparrow killed in the state, tho slaughtor of the little birds has been inaugurated with vigor, Tho sparrow man in the county clerk’s office (0ok in 1,573 heads vesterday,” Oue man came in in the morning with 197 live sparrows. “Pull off their heads and bring those in," said the clerk; “we don’'t want the car. casses,” adding laughingly, ‘you might sell them.” The man went out and came back later in the day with 197 sparrow neads and secured his voucher. As ho was leaving the ofiico he remarked with a wink: “I mado 313 by thav tip of your'n about selling them carcasses. Sold 'em for reed birds.” Saveral objections have been made 10 tbo new method of exterminating the sparrows ‘I'he most notable one was that made by John G. Shortall, presidont of the Illinois Humane soclety., “The law is oducationally vicious,” he sald. “Itsots a lot of childrea to work to devise tho cestruction of innocent living creatures. I don't care so much for the svarrows, though that is bad enough, but no one who has the intorosts of the coming gon- eration at heart can fail to viow with alarm this new method of educating children to take pleasure in destruction and murder. Movreover, it causes great danger to life and oroperty to arm the children for this inhu- man warfare. Tho extermination ought to be in the hands of officials designated for the purpose. [ am consideriug some plan by Wwhich to enjoin the city clerk from paying the bounty. Death of Consul Boorlin, Louis Boerlin, the Swiss consul in this clty, dled yesterday aftavnoon.

Such, at Least, is the Opinion of the New York Post. New York, Dec. 3.—The Post says: “For onca tho boomers of silver bullion have run across a bull point worthy of serious consid- eration. While Mr. Goschen’s suggestion of gosterday to the London bankers was probably only “téntative, it was un- doubtedly importagt. Wall street. which dislikes to do things by halves, convinced itself yesterday aftcrnoon that Mr. Goschen had actually promised his support to an in- ternational ~ bimetallic ~conference. Of course, he did notking of the sort. All that he suggosted, according to the dispatches, was thay, if free silver coinage were to he adopted, by the rest of Europe, the English mipistry would “invite” tho bank to couvert gne~tifth of its gold bullion holdings into silver;.and tho suggestion was not new. It 1s easy tosee, in_any case, that the condition which Mr, Goschen affixes to his pruposition would be m mors import- ant to silver in fulfillment than the carrying out of the plan itself, If the continental nations by any combination of vents were to agree upon free silver coinage, the su rzested absorption of silver by’the Bank of Engiand, amouuting in all to 4,000,000, would bé altogether & minor consideration. But continental Europe -has shown no sizn of such purpose; hence the geaeral question is protty much the same as it was before Mr. Goschen made his speech. ke Seouil J0 EPT BY FLAMES.
