THE NEW YEAR'S ‘GIFTS STOLEN Several annble hreoh Taken from Storage Company’s Wagons, POLICE LOOKING FOR THE 'nm:r Severnl Express Companies May Be Interented All Combine in Effort to Keep the Thing A Secret. “Merry Christmas to me chuckled a thief as he rifled a wagon load of belated | hollday gifts‘ at the barn of the Omaha | Van and Sterage company on North Ninc- tcenth street. He disappeared with the loot from more than two dozen packages and | now the detectlve force is turning the | town inside out to recover the stolen gifts On the morning of December %, when the wagon house was opened, a dismaying sight of 'shattered cheer was exposed to view. Late the night hefore a load of gift packages from the express companies had been recelved for New Year delivery, These pareals were broken. torn and scat- | tered about.. The floor of the barn was littered with notes and gally . bedecked Christmas eards. The careful thief left no card of his own, however, No estimate of the extent of the robbery is possible, In that many packages have disdppeared altogether, while only part re- | mains of others. Fram the standpoint of the detectives, It appears remarkable that not a line can be found among the rif ed packages to show where or from whom they came, The loss of packages poseibly will in- clude shipments through several cxpress companies, as,the Omaha Van and Storage company makes deliveries for all of the companies; dofng husiness in Omaha. At | the express.company. offices it iy asserted that no claims have been presented vet for missing packeges which could have been lost in this robbery. Try to Keep It a Secret. Efforts Have beeh made to keep the rob- bery as mudh a secret as possible, for in ' the Hght of 1ts sérlousness there is a de- termined Intent to visit punishment on the | thiet. Some of the stolen goods are pro- tected by a standing reward from express companies, but none of these companies will now admit that they are much con- cerned abgut the matter. “It will'not be up to us to make good the loss when the claims are proven,” sald an officer of the Adams Express company. “The Omaha Van company receipts to us for the goods and parcels received and the relation is the same as between express companies.” “We don't know just how much it will amount to,” sald John Bekins, proprietor of the Omaha Van and Storage company. “The stuff recovered, which was thrown about In the barn, was, of course, of little value, “It seems probable that the thlef was locked in the barn at night when the wagon was driven in and put away. If the rob- bery had occurred before Christmas It might have been worse.” “I don't know of ‘any loss that has been sustained to our shipments,” declared A. J. Sampson, general agent for the Wells- Fargo Express company. The extent of the robbery Indicates the work of 4 tautious thief and an investiga- tion of the case Is being followed up with more than ordinary diligence.

' About twenty-five of the fifty district superintendents of census who are to at- | terd the meeting called in Omaha were on hand when the first session began. The others were snowbound. The states represented at the meeting are Wisconsin, Minnesota, Towa, Missouri, | North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska | and Kansas. Assistant Director of the | Census W. F. Willoughby of Washington, | LeGrand Powers, chief of the division of | agriculture, and W. C. Hunt, chief of the | division of population, both also of Wash- | Ington, D. C., arrived this morning and will be present at the afternoon and morn- ing meetings. Assistant Director of Census Willoughby, who Is .the second ‘ranking officer of the | census department, says: ““The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the best methods for the work we are about to undertake. Similar meetings have been held In the east, and south and south- east, where problems of the same nature prevall. ““There are some 350 census district su- perintendents in the country and we alm to hold the meetings at such central points where the general conditions of the territory are allke. As an instance in the south it is the negro problems, in the southeast the cotton and tobacco interests, | In the east the great general inferests, in the cenetral west it is agricultute and stock ralsing, In the mountain states, min- ing, and the Pacific coast states many pe- cullar conditions. ne of the vital questions to come before the meeting Is the selection of good enum- erators. Al applications must be in by January %, and from these applications the Breat army of enumerators is to be se- lected, “There has been a misapprehension re- garding the rigldity of the examination re. quired of the applicants for enumerators and doubtiess many prospective applicants have been deterred from comploting their applications because of this examination. It is not severe by any means; just re- Quires good common sense, fair penman- ship and intellectuality."” Bad Man Enters Rotl Through Window, Ge Many Drinks.
