Citizen Would Stop Holdup and Lets Footpad Get Away Unwonted zeal upon the part of a well-meaning citizen nearly allowed a hold-up man to escape last night aft- er he had tried to rob three pedes- trians, A 6-month-old puppy dog upon which the bandit stepped in trying to find a hiding place betrayed his whereabouts and caused his arrest, Wesley Dary, 2601 Dodge, identified by three victims, is being held b{ the police as the robber. He is alleged to have held up Darian Tropjain and V. J. Gregory of 120 North Twenty- second, and A. Kassarian, 503 South Twenty-second, at Twenty-second and Davenport. While he was trying it, the three leaped upon him and had him over- powered when the citizen with the gun came up. He mistook the victims for the wrong-doers and he held them off with the pistol while the robber got up. { J While the bandit was fleeing to safety Officer Earl Risk approached. The man stepped on the dog, however, and was arrested. He has been iden- tified. oy 1 Dary was bound over to the district court, with bonds fixed at $700, after a preliminary hearing in police court this morning. Will Orpet Visits Celestia Youker Is Unconfirmed Story Chicago, July 18—Will H. Orpet, acquitted of the murder of Marion Lambert by a Lake county jury at Waukegan Saturday night, spent yes- terday, his first day of freedom since February 11, far away from the crowds which had been his lot dur- ing the long weeks of his trial. The young collegian arose about 6 o'clock yesterday morning and shortly afterward, accompanied by his mother and brother, went for a long automo- bile ride in the country about Lake Forest. A 3 Reports that he went in the direc- tion of River Forest where Miss Ce- lestia Youker resides, and that he had seen the girl during thc day could not be verified last night. Edward O Orpet, the father, who remained at the home on the McCormick estate, | refused to disclose the whereabouts of Will, and would neither ajfirm nor deny the reports regarding Miss Youker. Death Snatches Litttle Daughter of Fred Hamilton Ethel Pauline Hamilton, aged 6, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred P. Hamilton, 608 South 38th street, died last night at the family home of Brights disease. She had been ill a month and roted specialists had been called in to treat her exceptional case. The funeral will be held Wednes- day morning at 9 o'clock at St. Ce- celia's church, with interment in H.oly Sepulchre cemetery. Private services will be held at the home at 8:40 o'clock. Fred Hamilton, jr., is the only surviving child. Deutschland Built Within Six Months Berlin, July 18—(Via London.)— Commercial submarines may assume considerable importance in German- American trade during the remainder of the war, according to the Bremen correspondent of the Koelnische Zei- tung. The freight earnings of the Deutschland were so great that the vessel was paid for out of the profits of its first voyage. It is expected, therefore, that many others will be built. The correspondent does not give the date when the Deutschland was be-|| gun, but intimates that it was built in less than six months, He adds that the company which built the suma- rine is being flooded with requests to accept freight. One exporter wants room for 60,000 casks of beer, and many wish to send letters. Postal facilities, however, probably will not be extended. Germans in Belgium Flayed. Paris, July 18.—An address criticising acts of German military authorities in Belgium signed by 600 Spanish Catholles has been sent to Monsignor Deploigne, governor of the Philosophical institute at Louvain with the request that it be placed in the archives ot the reconstructed library ot the Catholic university of Louvain, Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most sor and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this ean't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The Iather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, flufty and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and = few ounces is enough to last everyone in the fumily for months.—Advertisement. TWO PRINGIPALS GET SALARY LIFT James @. Masters and Karl F. | Adams Receive Increase of | Three Hundred Year. | NEW BUILDING REQUESTED James G. Masters and Karl F. Adams, principals of Central High school and High School of Commerce, respectively, will receive $3,300 and $3,000 a year, the Board of Education last evening authorizing an increase of $300 a year in each case. Minnie Mercer, teacher at Central Park school, resigned. Two hundred citizens living in the vicinity of Thirty-first and Vinton streets petitioned for a school build- ing, stating their children are required to walk ten to fifteen blocks under present conditions. The buildings and grounds committee will give this mat- ter due consideration. J. B. Carver and Paul McAulay were reelected as attendance officers. Keep Your Nerve, War Lords Tell German People London, July 18—The German general staff has issued an appeal to the people of Germany for confidence | in the conduct of the war, according to a Rotterdam dispatch to the Daily News. “Never has the world experienced anything so stupendous as the pres- ent battles,” says the appeal. “Never has an army braved what ours has| braved.” The appeal adds: “The enemy is sending out every few hours claims to have taken villages, woods, and thousands of prisoners in reports that are no longer couched in the lan- guage of soldiers, but are fantastic hymns of victory that mock truth, in an effort to undermine German confi- dence.” THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, LITTLE VICTIM OF DEATH IN HAMILTON HOME. PAULINE HAMILTON. Funeral services for Little Pauline Hamilton, who died Monday night, will be held at 9 o'clock this morning at St. Cecelia’s church. Interment will be in Holy Sepulchre cemetery. Privte services are to be held at the home, 608 South Thirty-eighth street, at 8:40 o'clock. J BURGESS-NASH G0 AT ANNUAL PICNIG Five Hundred Employes of De- partment Store Hold Annual Outing at Krug Park. PLENTY OF FUN FOR ALL The Burgess-Nash store seemed to be changed suddenly into a Turkish bazaar yesterday afternoon as the clock struck 5. Everywhere were seen men and women, boys and girls wear- ing red fezzes on their heads. On closer examination the gold lettering revealed the legend, “Burgess-Nash Picnic, Krug Park.” It was the hour of the annual picnic given by the company to its 500 em- ployes. In a few moments the big brass band was boom-itty-coming- :way, out in front of the store, under the leadership of Mr. Barton and Six- teenth street was full of pretty girls and mere men and boys, all with fezzes on their heads and tickets in their hands. Lo These tickets had been distributed to all the employes. They were long, coupon things, like a railroad ticket from Omaha to San.Francisco with a side trip to the Grand Canyon and stopovers at Winnemucca, Albu- querque and Walla Walla. But, my! Tickets like these couldn’t be too loni. One coupon admitted you to the park, one rejoiced the inner man with a box lunch, lemonade and ice cream, others admitted to the delights of the roller coaster, merry-go-round, old mill and such like. The Special Cars. Well, eight big open cars finally drew around the curve and stopped in front of the store. And soon they were whizzing Krug parkward with the happy crowd, the band booming away and the folks singing a song about “Burgess-Nash, Oh, Burgess-Nash, Greatest Service to Greatest Num- ber.” In due time the eight carloads ar- rived at Krug park and were met there by many friends. Inside the gates no time was lost in “starting something.” A pho- — y Store Hours: 8:30 A. M. to 5 P. M.—Saturdays Till 9 P. M, sy BURGESS-NASH GOMPANY. “EVERYBODY'S STORE"™ Tuesday, July 18, 1916.

First, the buyers and managers ran a fifty-vard race in which “Doc” Lippold’s long legs| proved themsclves useful as well as| ornamental, winning him first prize. Atwood Wins Twice. Rose Yunek carried off first prize in the ladies’ twenty-five-yard dash Paul Murphy proved himself flcetest among the boys and G. Atwood won the men's fifty-yard dash. G. Atwood also won the fifty-yard special dash. Then came the egg and spoon race. The object of this is to see which one of a number of girls can carry an ¢gg in a spoon a distance of twenty- five yards in the shortest time. Miss A. Chuh was the only one who ar- rived at the end of the course with the egg unbroken in the spoon. And the grass was strewn with the broken hen fruit of the losers. Next was the necktie and collar | race. This was not a race between neckties and collars. It was a race by | ball over the fence | sandwiches, fruit, pi | off with a brick of men who ran from one end of the course to the other, removed their neck decorations, ran to the other end of the course and back, resumed their neck trimmings and ran back to the beginning point. Palmer Wert proved himself the swiftest foot racer-necktie fastener But, ah, listen to the tale of the girls’ ball throwing contest. This con- test was to see which girl could throw a base ball the farthest. Common caution should have directed that it be held in a ten-acre lot, from which | innocent bystanders would be rigor- | ously excluded. The girls took their places and a long, broad lane was left between the crowds of spectators. | around to the lemonade barrels and get all you want. Messrs.

Mr, Bur- gess was observed in the “three-f'r-a- quarter” photograph gallery, posing on the afterdeck of the canvas ship “Krug Park,” right next ot a painted . life preserver, having his picture taken. Mr. Nash seemed to favor the merry-go-round for his share of thrill and excitement. A. L.
