b - o WILL INVESTIGATE SCOTT Douglas County Lawyers Take Up the Burt County Fight, FULL DISCUSSION OF THE SITUATION Resotutions Asking for an Inquiry Adopted After a Long Consideration of the Pro- priety of the Proceedings—The o nmittes Named, It has now boen settled thatthe bar of this, the Fourth judicial district, will inves. tizate the right and the wrong of the trou- bles that exist between Judee Cunningham R. Scott and tho lawyors of Burt county. A eommittee has been appointed for the pur- pose and the members thereol will report their findines, after taking ail the available testimony that bears upon tho case. ‘The meeting held to decide upon the ap- pointment of this committee was called in the iarae court room of the court houso yos- terday afternoon. At 2 o'clock the attorn gather and in o fow minutes lawyers had seats in the room. Ed W. Simeral proposea that Judge Greg- ory actas chaiman. Ho was olected with- out any opposition. Upon taking his seat he sald that whatever was douo ho hoped would bedono with dignity. Charles Offutt was the first man to break the sileace that hung about the room. He atated that the information had been con- veyod to tho members of the bar that serious ehargos had boon made against a member of he district bench and that the peonle should know whethor they were true or false; that for the purposo of determining an investiga- tion should b2 bad. o bring tho matter be- fore tho meoting Mr. Offutt offered tue fol- lowing resolutions Wheroas, Grave charges are curront afect- fog the official fntezrity and the personal began to ater fully 200 character of Hon, C.

Ity the members of the bar of the Fourth Judicial district of tho state of Ne- braska In meeting assemblod, us follows: 1. The chafrian of this meeting shall ap- point a committee of five members of the bar of this distr whoso duty it shall be to pro- ceed with il convenient speed 1o inquire into and investizato the truth or falsity of all matters which shail come to the r knowlodge, affecting in any way the judicial integrity, personal character and fitness of suld Scott for suld oflice of judge of the district court, and tho conduct of the members of the bar in thelr reiations to said judge. 2. Sald committee will ronort its findin factin writinz to the bar of thisdistrict noeting to be calied by said committee for hat purpose by notieo published at loast two days in ndvance in vhe daily papersof the city of Omilia, aad in tholr report said comrmittos wil) spocificaily stuto whether or not they find that the acts of suid Scottarc or huvo been such as to entitle him to the confidence and rospect of the public in the exercise of the exalted position of Judee of the district court, and whether or not, and if so, wherein the members of sald bar are censurable, 3. The ehairman shall appoint a committee of threo who shall be charged with tho duty t ralsing by subscription sufficient funds to ofray tho necessary expenses of such 1 vesti- s of ta ation, and sald commlittes will also be hargod with the duty of making the proper Lsbursements of such fund Some Differenco of Oplulon. Juige Ambrose sald that he would oppose tho adoption of the resolutions unless they provided for a committes t investigate the conduct of the attorneys of tue Burt county bar. There were ramors that they haa not conducted themselves in & manner becoming attorneys. The committeo should invest gate both sides. If the rumors were true, both sides should be investigated. E. W. Poterson of Burt county ssid that ne and his associates were willing to be investi gated. W. J. Connell wanted to know what the rumors against the members of the Burt county bar were, Judge Gllis of Burt county said that he was anxious that the committee should in- ‘vestigate the charges against him. 1f he had taken the course alleged in the Burt county divorce cuse as true neshould ve disbarred, but If he had not then Judge Scoit should be censured. . Heury kstabrook said that the members of tho Bart county barwere unot the only gen- tlemen who had been at outs with Judee Scott. He said that the investization should reach to every point in the district visited by “the cyclone,” which title he zave to Judee Scott, . C. E. Moutgomery favored iocreasing the scope of the cominittee, Judge Estelle sid that it had been re- orted thut the attorneys of Burt county Bad conspired to defeat the ends of justice in that county, If that was true, they should be the subject of an investigation. Mr, Montgomery moved that tho resolution be given Lo Messrs, Offutt, and Amorose to be amended that the investigation cover Judgo Scott and the membvers of the Burt eounty bar, H. H. Powers of Burt county said that he folt that he had a right to rebel against Judge Scott. A. C. Troup said1t was unfair to investigate the rumors against Judge Scott and not in- quire into the conduct of tho Burt county lawvers, Mr. Mclntosh said that he understood that Judge Scott's trouble arose upon a con- spiracy among the Burt county lawyers to coutinuo their cases, It it was true that they did conspire he would like to know thelr reasons, Some Vigorous Opinions, Judge Macomber said thero wes no troublo fn Douglas and Sarpy counties, but thero was in Burt county, Lawyers would quar- rel as long as toere were courts, What haa occurred in Douglas county was not such as would justify the flling of charges, 1f tho luvesiigation was to tocover the entire district it would bea burlosque. His idea was to look after Burt €ounty and lot the other countics alone, lie did not bolieve an investigation would do any z00d by & committee that bad nojuri Biction to proceed, John I, Redaick bad heard of the trouble; he had practiced law for thirty-five years, but never before had he been called into a meetiog to investigate a judge. Every good lawyer could not make a good judge. A good udge should be patient, semething Judge icott was not. From the time that Judge Beott struck the staie he iad tried to run things with a high band, The investigation should not bo hanaled by the Douglas county lawyers. It was o trouble that originated in Burt county, and should be taken care of by the lawy. who resided there, A judge who wanted to muko friends could dosoif he would. There was some- thing wrong with Judge Scott, or else those Burt county lawyers would not have pre. ferred insanily churges sgainst him: he had 10 business on the beuch as Lo was 100 much of an autocrat for the position. The way to treal bim was for tho 400 members of ‘the bar o put themselves in black aud white, and then he would bave te submit or resign. J. C. Wharton veplied that Reddick was a capitulist uud not @ practitioner at the bar, anu ho did not suppose that he woula come 10 aud tell the lawyers what they should do, 1f it had not been “for parties who had mo- tves for so doing, the meeling would ot have boen called “Nawe them,” came from the body of the house. Ld Mr. Wharton said that it was not nocessary torame them. If it had uot boen fos those parties the trouble would not kava arisen. Johin O. Yeiser told the wiceting that he Was present when the Burt couuty eourt opened and that 1t was apparent that there Was i consniracy azainst Judge Seott. - He moved that all that portiou of the resolution referring Lo Judge Seoit be stricken out. C. K. Dickinson of Burc county replied by suyiug that 1t hud been customary for tho Burt counly bar to extend u hand of wel coiue to the judges, but 10 such hand bad ever been extended’ to Judge Scott. 1ho ronson woy Yeiser stood Ly Scott was be causo Judgo Scott bad stoo! by him. M. Dickinson had no grievance against Judge Seett, notwithstandiog the fact that he bhad peen designated as a ‘‘shyster.” Judge Osborne of Blair said that whay he d was in sorrow and not in anger. He beiioved that the investigation should be broad enough o covor the entirs distriot. Dofending E. M. Bartlett appoaled. ho said, fair-minded mombers of the bar. Itwas never his ploasure to meet a more geatle- manly (ot of mon than he saw at T kamah. They were abundautiy able to tak care of thomselves. The procuodings were Ige Seott, to tho most unheard of. Judgo Scoit had boen laughed at and had been called a cyclone, ana not a man bad rai a voice to dsfend him Judge Scott had his peculiaritics and had been criticised. Bocause ho had boen criticised the memboers of the Douglas county bar had called the meeting and offered tho resolutions, Every weck there wera sceues as wild as tnose cnacted in Burt county, but tue jidgo wis not crti- cised. ze Scott, he said, had the respect ot tho best busines ' men in 13urt county N Melntosh ineisted th Mr. Bartlett was oot of order The chair decidea that he was, Again Mr. Melntost called him down, *(Gioon,” cried the memovors of the meet- ing Mr. McIntosh subsided, and Mr. Bartlott smd that he had veeu at Tekawah and that scores of persons had told him that they WEro AnXious to 0 on with sheir cases, but their lawyers would not let then,. The only trouble was a question of temper 1n Burt county. It was beneath the dig- nity of the members of the Douglas county bar to bs used as a sweeping machiue to clean the Burt county bouse. Atter tho commission of lunacy had been stariod the lawyers were trying cases before Judge Scott. It was simply a quarrel botween Lte beach aud the bar. 1f Burt county was suffering 1t was the duty of every member of the bar of that county ~ to Institute Impeachment pro- ceedings, but it was nothing that interested Douglas county. There was nothing to prevent Burt county from taking oare of her grievance and when the time arose Douglas county could take care of her own. 'Tho resolutions were not fair to Juage Scott, as they did not give nim u chance to be heara. Frank T, Ransom was a friend of Judge cott, but he thought that the resolution should be adopted. He tuought, however, that Mr. Bartlott was inconsistent, as he had voth praised and maligned the Burt couuty lawyers. Question ot Ultra Vires, Judgo Breck denied that the bar had au- thority to make charges against a judge. A jude could try a member of the bur, but all of the lawyers in the land conld not inguire into the action of a juage. The passage of tho resolutions could have no effect and no man could show what goua they could do. In the end they might rosult in im- peachment, but & higher authority would bave to issue order. ln all due respect to the mon who signed tho call, tho judge said that ho bad never neard of such n meoting. If he offered an indignity to the court he could not oxpress his humility too much. ‘ihings would regulato themselves by boing leit alone, uad this was oue of the things that would do so. Judge Lirown spoke with somo feeling. He said that ne had practiced law for forty- cight yoars aud had never scen such a dis- graceful proceeding as 300 lawyers arraigned against the court. C. 1. Brown smd that an investigation had already been provived for and that it would be much more satisfactory than an in- vestigation by a committee, I'nis onded the discussion and upon a vote being taken the resolution was adopted by a vote of 157 to 4. Working for the Committee. Judge Gregory apnointod Charles Offutt, W. W. Morsman, L. W. Osborne, Georgo 1. Liuke and George W. Ambrose as tne com- mitteo r.Bar tlett raised an objection, stating that some of the members of the committee had griovauces. Judge Osborne declined to serve. Mr. Wharton said that groau care should Le exercised in selecting the committee, Mr. Montgomery thought the chair should tako time to select the committeo. Mr. Wharton urged that the jury should be_au unprojudiced one. Mr. Montgomery thought it was, “I have understood,” said Mr. Wharton, “thut you lave said that articles of im- peachment should bo filed against Judge Scott.” “That i3 not so,” gomers. “Well, DIl take your word forit,” answered Mr. Wharton, Judge Lake refused to serve on the com- mittee, Mr. Wharton suggested that noman should serve on the commitice who had signed the call. E. W. Simeral thought that could not prej- udice the commitres Judge Wakeloy was named as a member of the committee, but his friends said that he declined to act. avswered Mr. Mount- Mr. Bartlett sugeested that the committeo be drawn after the plan of drawing jurics, Judge illis objected, saying that he was not a justice court practitioner. Mr. Bartiett retorted that he was and was frequently glad to get such cas Tho committee was then mado up by the selection of the following members: Judee W. H. Eller, George W. Ambrose, Jobn Schowp and W.'W. Morsman. e HURT BY A HORSE. amble ors Breaks the Force 's Collision with a Motor, Simon P. Gambole, a timekeeper on the Omaia strect railway, met with a poculiar and pawnful accident last nignt, During the early part of the evening ho was golng south on the Sixteenth strect line, occupying a position on the front end of the motor. As the train reached tho Webster street crossing a runaway horse came tearing aown the track and collided with the car, smashing the platform and catebing Gamblo in tho wreck. As soon as he could be extri- cated from the horse. buggy and car ho was taken into Whitehouse's drug store, where his injuries which consisted of a dozen or moro of cuts and bruises were dressed, Ho was then sent to bis home at 1516 Elm streot. ‘Lhe borse was moro fortunate, for aft getting clear of the street car he' threw off bis harness and wentout on Sherman aveaus ava Nancy Hanks gait. The animnl broke loose from his moorings at Howard street, and while going down to tne scene of the collision furnished scveral men with a {imited amount of experience. At aifferent times duriug the trip no less than nalf a dozen men climbed intq the rear end of the buggy, but as soon as they discovered that the bridle was inissing und that the lines were trailing in the dust they each and every one climped out again. of a e — e AFTER VINDICATION. farry DBarton Sues His Late Heavy Damnges, The failure of the Aulabaugh Pur company has brought about a lawsuit of consideravle maguitede, which bas been commenced in the district court, Sowme dayvs ago the house was closed by the cregitors, and immediately thereafter ono of the partners, Harriet Aula- baugh, filed & complaiot 1n police court, cbarging her partner, . F. Barton, witn embezzioment, She swore that ne had spir- ited away W0 worth of fur goods and that he bad them concoaled in nis house. A search warrant uuearthed the goods und Bar- ton was arrested. At tho tria! it was skown that Aulabaugh kuow that the goods wera taken by Barton, and in fact that they weve tuken by his ad- vice ana with bis consent. The court found that they were partnors and for that reason beld that the charge of embezzlement would not lie; that Barton had a fect right to take the goods from the store. Now there is auother end o the lawsuit and Barton has sued his partner in an action 1o recover £25,000 damages, alleging that by the arrest he bas been brought iuto public aisgraco and that his reputation as u good citizan bas been greutly injured.

Partner for COST PRICES THEN AND NOW What the Farmer Pays for Implements Oon- trested with Former Days, TARIFE FACTS FROM THE RECORDS Actual Selling Prices for the Last Nine Years on Various Articles—Lamber as Sold from Nebraska Yard Old Time Valaes, The priacipal argument of tho opponents of the protective tarifl is that 1t necessarily incroases the cost of the article protected. They insist that the amount of tho tarifl is invariably maded to the costof production that the consumer pays the adaition, even though no imported material entered into the manufacture. Bozus statistics are quoted as a brop for sueh fallacious argu- ments, and particular stress is laid on the cost of agricultural machinery.

These are figures of the gzood old democratic days—the days of low prices for grain and stock and high prices for all the farmer bought—and we are of the opin- 10n that the farmer will not be willing to re- turn to thewm of his own accord, These are the days when the school teacher taught six in the week, eight hours per day and twenty-six days for a month, at $13 and $15 ver month, "arm hauds received $12 to §14 per month, Hogs were s0ld dressed nover 10 exceed 4 cents, and from that down to 1 cent per pound. ~ Whon there was a good crop of core 1t was valucless and all other grain sold at very low fizures, e L ADDITIONAL SOUIETY, arcied a Belle of Indinnapolis. ‘The following from tho (ndinnapolis Jour- nal of October 6 tells the story of M=, W, J, Hughes' marriage: “Opeof the most ele- gant home woddings of the season took place yestorday av high noon at the residence of Hou. and Mrs. R, B, F.

The marriage took place in the drawing room. The center of the room was reserved for an aislo and separated by pillars of smilax crowred with pink roses.

A Pretty Dinier, For Mr. Quay, Senator Mutt Quay’s son, at prosent on the staff of General Brooke, and u new arrival in military circles, Captain and Mrs, Ayers gave alovely diouer on Cuicaco, 111, Oct. 15.—All the railroads entering Chicago have hecome aware that they are going to be crowded with the pas- senger business next week, For some renson or other the majority of them did not antici- pate much of & pressuro on account of the Worid’s fair dedicatory celevration, but they are now}iu a vosition to regret that they did not make more extensive propara- tions to meet the demands of the oc- casion. They have practically refused to compete for the extra busingss and have turned their attention 1o the task of supviy- ing cars for the tralic that 1s crowding upon them uosolicited, Under such eircum- stances there is no doubt that the agrecd rates will be maintained, except 1 cases where contracts were made in advance by short-sighted passenger agents for special parties. As a resultof the compelition for the transportation of United Stales troops the majority of the rogular avmy visitors will travel at an even lower rate that the 1 cent per mile allowed the state militia.
