THE BEE: OMAHA TIH'RSD‘\Y APRIL 21, 1910. NO CONET IS NOW IN SIGHT Father Rigge Sweeps Cloudless Sky but Cannot Locate Wanderer, IS TO0 FAINT AT PRESENT In & Week it Shoula Be More Plainly Vislhle (o Thise Who Wish to Rise « Early in . the Mornine. W dnepagy morning the clouds cleared away i this longitukie \early emough for one to see the comet, but it was not visible to the naked eye nor to the powerful in- struments used by Father Rigge at Creigh- ton university. Father Rigge say# that the time between the rising of the comet and the rising of the sun |8 now so short that those who desire to see the wanderer had better wait for a week, as they will then have a better opportunity to see it with the naked eye. Following fs the statement made. by Father Rigge, concerning his observations Wednesday morning. ‘Wednesday morning was the first clear ore for @ week. The Somet, rose at 8:51 1 was at the observatory with one of the professory and a number of students, and, while they kept a diligent lookout, I swept the sky With the telegcope from 4:10 to 4:40 ch for the comet. ‘At 4:40 the twilight beca 0 strong that further { mearch WA’ te Wé discontinued. The comet 16 evidently too faint at present to be seen in the.murky horizon sky.

With a group of twenty-two high school boys Dr. A. i Sénter, head of the chem- stry depastinent, eamped in the bullding Wednesds¥ night, and at 4:% got the first morning view of ‘the comet that has yet beenthad by snybody in- Omaha. Dr Seritér says the cofmet is yet too In- distinet to ho seen by the naked eye, un- less it 1s Tirst locatdd through a telescope. It will be néeesEayy, he thinks, to wait until the &nd e this week or the beginning of fext Before the comet will be visible withibnt the afd of a telescope. “It wpams Very “likely to me,” sald Dr. Senter, “that' what some amateur ob- servers havegken. for the' comet is Venus, whigh is now a very bright star at about the | same level above the horizon as the comet. | MIGH SOUg SEE COMET nter TO FIX SCHOOL INSURANCE i Board of Bdyoation Inspecting Build- ings to Determine Amount of Fatare Policies.

Master plumbers of Omaha and thelr Journeymen. are now about at the point where they must come to close quarters to make things right in that trade for the present season. At & recent meeting the master plumbers decided that they will asit for certain shop rules that have not. heretofore prevalled. They want the journeymen to report at 745 at the shops, preparatory to starting work at § They also want the journey- men to furnish thelr own furnaces and wrenches up to & certain size. It seems the journeymen have a rule that no man can show up at the shop sooner than 7:565, and they will strenuously object to the abrogation of this rule, holding that five minutes' leeway s plenty In which to prepare for the da; ork. They do not supply their own furnaces or wrenches, either, and 46 not want to. While the proposed new shop rules of the master plumbers are not yet formally presented to the fourneymen, thelr gist is pretty well known. The Innovations will be resisted, and a demand for a higher yate of pay will also be made. The pres- ent rate is 35 & day, and, it is understood, without bemg announced as a fact, that the new demand will be for # a day. Both sides are keeping cool and eaying nothing, but the wires are all lald for the negotiations that must soon open.

McCoy " Faces Imposter Traveling Salesman Declares Sus- pected Checks Passed on His Name Are Forgeries. Affordihg a strong climax to the devel- opment that had arisen in the arrest of a young suspect who had used his name in two attempts to cash checks, Charles E. McCoy, a salesman for the Endicott & Johnson Shoe company, arrived suddenly in Omaha Wednessay morning and pro- nounced the prisoner a forger. The sus- pect had been taken in charge twice Mon- day night and Tuesday afterncon respec- tively, while he was in the mct of sub- mitting checks first as J. H. Bndicott and the second time as Clarence McCoy. The stranger's method was to assume in each instance the identity of & salesman for the Endicott & Johnson Shoe company of Endicott, N. Y. The clerks at the Sam Adler store and the Henshaw hotel caused the arres Mr. McCoy, the second, who hastened Into the city Wednesday upon learning of the queer check deals, told the police he had never seen or heard of the other man be- fore. He pronounced the checks the latter had used as forgerles. The real salesman is well known in Omaha as having traveled through here for thirty years. He told the police he lost a 3150 draft several days ago.
