STOLEN GOODS LOCATED IN OMAHA ¥roperty Taken from the Residenoe of John Scheutz n Few Evenings Since Found In the Poswsession of an Al leged Burglar. LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 20.—(Special.)—Next Saturday evening a meeting of the Lancaster County Bar association will be held at the court house, at which the matter of jury Lribing will be given an airing. The police were notified this morning that & man giving his name as Willlam Jack- son had been arrested at Omaha, having in his possession the goods stolen from the home of John Scheutz a few evenings since. Datective Malone left at once to get the pris- oner and bring him back. Charles R. McCord, a traveling man for an eastern boot and shoe house, this afternoon secured a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Dode, who conducts a boarding house at Eleventh and M streets, charging her with grand larceny. McCord says that he boarded at Mrs. Bode's, and at the time he left owed her $42. As security for this ®um he left in her possession $74 worth of boots and shoes. Mrs, Bode, he says, at- tached his sample cases for the bill. Today he alleges he settled the attachment sult, se- cured his samples, but on going to the house for the $74 worth of boots and shoes found them gofie. Hence the arrest The home of Prof. Menzendorf, 1512 R strect, was robbed last night. Thieves forced the back door open and ransacked the house, securing about $75 worth of silverware. PostoMce In<pector Sinclair of Nebraska City and Deputy United States Marshal Hub- bard brought in from Wahoo today a young man named Thomas Fitzpatrick, to undergo preliminary examination before United States Commissioner Billingsley for the robbery of the postoffice at Morse Bluff, Saunders county, on Octcber 13, About $100 worth of stamps and $200 worth of clothing were taken. Fitz- patrick Is said to be known to the police of Omaha as a crook. He was bound over in the sum of $500, in default of which he went to fail. @G. P. Putnam’s Sons, who have a claim of $416 against C. M. Leighton, Cassell Publish- ing company, w Pencil con: Hought'n M ich has one of $351, Eagle any, which has one of $455, and n & Co., who have one of $780, began action in replevin this morning to secure from the Lelghton stock goods sold him a short time prior to his failure. Papers were served on the sheriff. As soon as the action became known the National Blank Book company, acting for itself and other mortgage hoiders, and which has a claim of | $1,332.55, filed a petition in the district court asking for an order restraining the parties named from serving the replevin, breaking the stock and interfering with the sale. In their p time Loighton ordered the goods he knew he was Insolvent, but had represented to Brad- street a short time prior that his assets were $75,000 and liabilities $15,000, and to Snow, Church & Co. that they were respec- tively $45,000 to $60,000 and $17,000; that upon the strength of these representations, which are declared to be false, credit was glven him. On the other hand, the mort- gage holders claim that the other fellows, Who had not been given any mortgage, had no right to replevin any of the stock for rea- sons stated, but that their object was to force the plaintift to release its security or accept a settlement the terms of which were unequitable and which would re- sult in serious loss to them. When th constables went down with the replevin papers they were met by Deputy Sheriff Dillon and representatives of the mortgage RLolders, and although the invaders were aried with crowbars and a firm determina- tion to get thelr goods, they were held at bay by kind words and some blufing until service of the restraining order was had upon them. That settled it, and the sale took place at the time advertised, It was purchased by Sam Hall, formerly one of Leighton’s travel- ing men, for $32,200. It is not known whom he represents. At the cathedral bazar which opened this evening a voting contest was begun between Holeomb and Majors. At the hour of closing the vote stood about 100 to 1 in favor of Holcomb, exact figures being 506 for Hol- comb; 6 for Majors. The price of votes was 25 cents apiece, Fifty ordinances of the city of Lincoln were rendered null and void by Judge Tibbetts in the district court today.

Should he make good his assertions that he will take this case for decision to the supreme court of the United States he may, when it shall be finally decided, consider the propriety of returning this money to the treasury.” In the samo report the commissioner dis- cusses the work of special examiners which have been criticised in congress and else- where. The commissioner says: “The re- port of the chiet of the division exhibits the character and importance of its work. Cages which appear to have merit, but in which claimants are unable to obtain es- sential ovidence are, with such information in respect to witnesses as the bureau can obtain, placed in thie hands of special exam- iners, who are often able to discover and obtain the evidence necessary to prove the claims. The larger part of the force is always kept employed in this class of work. But the special examination division, aided as it is by the law divisions, constitutes the main protetcion which the government has against fraud and imposition. DISHONEST ATTORNEYS RESPONSIBLE. “Most of the pension attorneys and claim agents are capable and honorable, but some among them are the most dishonest and unserupulous of men, dealing habitually in perjury, forgery and every species of fraud, Without special examiners the yillainy of such men would operate without check or tear of detection and be generally successful, and it is too often now in spite of all safe- guards, uch men attract the unworthy as clients —the bounty jumpers, cowards and deserters and the fraudulent maligners. As many of their crimes are discovered their fraudulent cases overthrown and themselves und their guilty confederates brought to punishment by the work of speclal examiners (there were 194 convictions for pension frauds last year), it is but natural that such men and their clients should be lowd and unceasing in de- crying special examiners as spies, and seek- ing with the aid of unscrupulous partizan newspapers and politicians to create preju- dice aganst special examiners in the minds of deserving peusioners and others. The worthy and deserving soldiers, who are | still modest In the race for pensions, are | elbowed to the rear by the unworthy, who | are as imporiunate in thelr continued struggle | for pensions and increases as when operating | for bounties. They crowd themselves to | the front at soldiers’ gatherings with resolu- | tions for more pensions and denunciations of every regulation tending to unmask or prevent dishonesty and fraud as ‘unfriendly to the soldier.’ Their insatiable greed and disclaiming of all resolutions made to insure honesty and restrain or discover fraud, shamelessly proclaimed, has done much to | it to'the Navy depaftment. | bullders & premium of lower the regard which would otherwise be universally manifested for the deserving sol- dier. “It has been reported that the attempt to discover frauds is a new movement and credit being giveh me in that direction to which I am not fairly entitled.” FRAUDS HAVE- ALWAYS EXISTED., The commissioner , then copies extracts from reports of commissioners ever since 1867 to show that' the'utmost care is neces- sary to prevent fraudulent pensions, after which he adds: I have selected the six ex- tracts from the reports of the commissioners since the civil war to show that special ex- aminations, fraudulent claimants, dishonest claim agents, and the practice of dropping unworthy pensioners from the rolls prevailed fn the past. But in those early days the frawls in pension cases did mot find active champions in_public men nor much support from the public.” The provision placed upon the pension ap- propriation bill December 21, 1893, preventing the commissioner from suspending pensions until fraud has actually been established, the commissioner says, has been carried out, but with no advantage to the bureau. ““The effect of this provision is to take from the officers of this bureau the power to Interfere where they plainly see the treasury being plundered by the fraudulent and un- worthy. T could cite numberless instances of pensioners having mno title, pensioners drawing more than one pension, widows who have remarried who continued to draw pen- sions, and all manner of fraudulent and ille- ®al penslons, where the treasury would con- tinue to be plundered for a time with the knowledge of the officers of this bureau who, because of that provision, were ren- dered powerless to prevent it." ———— It is true you can buy baking powder for 10 cents a pound.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—Colonel Charles Heywood, commandant of the United States marine corps, in his annual report to the secretary of the navy, asks for an increase of the corps. He says that by keeplng the number of men up to the legal allowance last year the duty was performed with less hardship to the men, and, in consequence, the number of desertions very materially de- creased, The commandant is satisfied that deser- tions in the marine corps were caused in a large measure by the hard work the men were called upon to perform. Last year they were abie to have two days off guard, which was a great relief from the necessity of “day on and day off,” to which they had been subjected. Still, in comparison with the army, where men are never less than five days off guard, this is hard duty and is too much of a tax on the physical energies of the men, and to produce even better results there should be an‘inerease in the number of privates. The demand Increases every day, both on shore_and afloat, in view of the many new vessels which will soon bo placed in_commission. The commandant, strongly reccommends an appropriation for harracks at Sitka, Alaska, He speaks with pride of the service ren- dered by his corps us guards at the World's fair, and particularly in California during tho strike. He engloses testimonials from Brigadier General Ruger and other officers, | “It is' most gratitying to me to | and says: know that the miavines have again proven themselves eficlent and useful in the per- formance of any kind qf work assigned them.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—(Special Tele- gram.)—A letter has been sent to Omaha from the office of the quartermaster general of the War department, inquiring for infor- mation as to the date on which bids will be opened for constructing the three newly authorized buildings at Fort Crook. A reply to this inquiry is expected to be at the Wur department in a few days. These bids are to be opened at Omaha, but the contract will bo awarded from War department headquar- ters at Washington. Several of the officials in the quartermaster general's office who have shown a decp interest in the constric. tion at Fort Crook are of the opinion that the bids for the new buildings should have been received by the present time, and hence | the letter of inquiry was issued. As a result of the threatened smallpox epidemic in this city, and the consequent closing of the Interior department, it Is necessary that amother postponement be had in opening the bids for the resurvey of Grant and Hooker counties, Nebraska.

THE DALLES, Ore., Oct. 20.—After t¥. weeks steady work on the part of detectives and local officers the parties who robbed the Pacific Express company in this city of $14,000 have at last been apprehended and placed under arrest, and all but $200 of the money recovered, Frank Kilein and Otls Savage, young men of respectable parentage, living here, are in jail, having made a com- plete confession of the theft. Many clews were followed by the detectives, but all proved fruitless until Sheriff Driver sug- Rested that possibly Klein and Savage, who have been living in idlcness about town and who once belonged to what s known locally as the Hawthorne gang of desperadoes, might be fimplicated. It was reported that the young men were separated from the gang on account of a disagreement as to the plan for robbiug a Union Pacific train at a point between here and Portland. Shortly after separating Hawthorne and pals robbed a store here of a lot of guns, pistols and am- munition and left for their rendezvous near Mount Hood. It is sald the only clew to the robbers was that a bar of steel sharpened at one end and fastened into a hook in the other was left, which was fouad beside the emply treasure box on the floor of the ex- press office on the morning of the robbery. Following the suggestion of Sherift Driver, Detectives Sam Simons of Portland and Lord of the Surety company of Kansas City vis- ited the shop and living room of Klein and .AVflki which is in a barn in Klein's yard, The Whlls of the room bristied- with guns of every description and the room also con- tained an anvil and tools for doing light blacksmithing, Sherift Driver, learning this, took the steel tools to Salem Rowe, one of the gang who is confined in the penitentlary, and from him learned it was fashioned in this shop by members of the Hawthorne #ang from a drill stolen from a Union Pacific locomotive at the -time they con- plated train robbery. Rowe also stated that Klein, who is by trade an expert lock= smith, possessed a key to the express office. Armed with this information, Mr. Driver, accompanied by Detective Simons, returned | to The Dalles and caused the arrest of Kiein and Savage.
