8 SCAPEGOATS OF * GAMBLERS Story that Convicted Prisoners Invariably Tell to Judge Scott These Days. POOR BOY HAD TURNED HIGHWAYMAN ‘s Den and This Sympathy of Hospital Case— Notes, inn Tige the ™ Cou Lost His Money Him Court Gave the AltLough none of them were present, ga blers and city officials were thrown into the game class and roasted to the queen's taste in the al section of the district court yesterday morning. Some weeks ago Leonard Holden, a rather truck the city and He had not fore he held a hard looking young ni was ‘shadowed by the police. been here forty-elght hours b man up out on St. Mary's avenue one dark night, robbing him of a p ife ar cents in all of the coin that the party about The arrested and ket k ney clothes, tried court to answer to the robbery. When the man first denied the charge that to have his Holden district happened next day held to the charge of highway was arralgned he at and then changed his plea, admitting he was guilty of the crime. lay Holden was for sentence, and questions he sald that this was his Prior to the commission of the had been a bricklayer in summer and a corn husker in winter. Last fall and during the early winter he worked in the corn fields of northern Tow nd hout the holidays, with $80 in his pockets, came to Omaha He had not been in the city man days ero he strolled into u gambling house, where he bucked faro until his last dime was gone. Aft that he went out upon the busy streets determined to raise enough o to buy something to eat. In prowl- ing around he happened to meet a victim and with a pistol compelled that individual to turn his pockets inside out During the recital of this tale of woe Judge Scott was a patient listener, and as the man closed he asked, “Is gambling your of nd s it the only crime you have e committed?” Holden saw that he strike, and promptly responded, Then the court cut loose and del the lecture, saying that here was a charged with robbing another of 50 The m who 1 forced the other to give up the paltry sum of money was a candi- aate for the penitentiary, but the men who had robbed him of his §80, earned by toil, were allowed to go unpunished simply be- cause they had some political influence. Such laws were an outrage upon the com- munity and a foul blet upon the statute books of the state. The lawyer who had been looking after the interests of Holden saw an opportunity to get In his graft, and at once flew to the aid of the court. He said that it looked as though the gamblers stood in with the police, for In this instance the gamblers had robbed Holden of his money, but were al. lowed to go unpunished, while Holden, who had robbed a man of 50 cents was before Ahe court, with the penitentiary ready to Nose its doors upon him. Judge Scott remarked that this was true, but opined that he could do nothing, as he was handicapped on every hand. Matters had arrived at a point where the courts could not run even handed with the gam. blers. The facts were that the courts were tled hand and foot, and as one of the judges, about all that he could do was to pass sen- tence and send boys to the penitentiary. Last Saturday, the judge said that a boy was before lim, charged with the heinons erimes of distributing Dills about the streets, calling attention to the virtues of some head- ache cure, of which ho was the inventor. The boy had violated a city ordinance, and fvas promptly arrested, but the gamblers, who were violating the state laws every day in the week, and cvery hour in the day, were given immunity, simply for the reason that they paid $150 per month into the treasury to help compound a felony. This, the court denounced as an outrage, and one which he would discuss and handle without gloves UiHl 1t Was wiped out, “Think of It,” hé continued, “Here is a man who robbed another of 50 cents in order to buy food to keep him from starving. The law is such that I am compelled to sentence him to a term of three years in prison, while the men who robbed him of $50 are allowed to walk the streets of the city and look into the faces of respectable men, “People say that I must keep still, but I never will keep still so long as the officials of this city continue to countenance and allow the commission of these high-handed crimes. “They call this America and the land of the free, but it makes a difference. 1f you have got money and influence, then this is the land of the free, but if you are without eithier, then the case Is different, as can be readily seen.' The sentence of the court and Holden was romanded fail. At the afternoon session of the court the prisoner was again taken before Judge Scott, who imposed a sentence of three years in the penitentiary, there to be con- fined at hard labor, no part to be spent in solitary confinement. In passing sentence the court took occasion to remark to Holden, “I can’t do any better than this for you. was Judge in answer to th ste before Seott usual first crime, robbery he had made a sl was_withheld, to the county The Hospital Muddie.

They further allege fraud in the construetion, charging that there were many defects, all of which were carefully co ered up in such a manner that they were not discovered until the building fell, The defendants éuler a general denfal and claim that the working plans of the building were changed without their knowledge or consent, and, moreover, that the statutes of limitation have run and that the bonds men are not liable, even if the principals could be held for the defective work, I any there was at the time of the construction of the building The case was dismissed by Judge Ambrose, Wwho leld that the county had no cause of wetlon, Othier Criminal Cases.

LANSING, Mich., Feb. 26.—In reference to the charges published in Detroit that the deposed state officers had been guilty of col. lecting money from the state illegally for personal expenses, the only member of the Board of State Auditors in the city states that the practice of allowing these expenses had always been followed, and that before allowing these particular bills, the board looked up'the precedents in the matter. It is believed, however, that the recently de- posed officials have been considerably more enterprising in charging up expenscs than any of their predecessors, and that at all events the charges were illegal and un. authorized. Detailed comparisons of the cx. penses charged by the present and former officials have not as yet been obtained, those who have attempted to examine the records claiming that they have been hin- dered and detained from making a com- prehensive examination.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 26.—J. D. Richland, who came to Kafisas City a few weeks ago and opened a grain commission brok office in the New York Life building, has fled, and, it id, he swindled brokers in Chicago and other cities out of between $8,000 and $10,000 by means of bills of lading. which he had raised. He would ship grain to Chicago, getting a bill of lading from the railvoad. This bill, it is alleged, he would raise and then attach it to a draft and send it through the bank to the consignec. The grain would not arrive until several vs after the draft and bill had been received and paid. 1t was rumored this afternoon that Mummford & Co. and Norton & Worth- ington of Chicago had been caught by the swindler.

Mr. Hartman wanted it understood that he opposed gambling and wanted the houses closed up, but he had consulted law- yers, and in view of their opinfon he doubted the authority of the board to issue instructions to the chief. Strickler thought were it not for the pe culiar situation the previous resolution would be sufficient. He maintained the board had ample authority to instruct the chief in the matter Mr. Hartman should not assume the re should remain with the thought it belonged. Mayor Bemis said he had not shirk that or any other respon was Incumbent upon him; that he had con sulted with the city attorney and othe torneys and performed his duty as he saw it. In reply to a question, Mr.” Strickler said Mr. Hartman stated he was not talking against the resolution, but simply out of courtesy to Mr. Coburn, requested it to go over. Mr. Strickler demanded a roll call and Mr. Hartman said he did not believe in any member of the board being so overzealous as to try to force a vote under the existing circumstances. Mr. Hartman said he was willing to say to the chief, both as a com- missioner and as a citizen, that he was heartily in favor of the sentiments of the resolution. Strickler finally consented to let the mat- ter go over for one week. A resolution was passed requesting the council to amend the ordinance fixing the salary of the city jailer so that it should be $50 per month. The request of F.

Opinlon of City Atto tlons th Have Been Raised, City Attorney Connell, in response to a re- quest for his opinfon as to the right of the city to vote unfon depot bonds under the gen eral law of the state, stated that after care- fully examining the law he had reached the conciusion that the 10 per.cent limit referred to in the general law of the state gave to the city right to vote bonds for works of internal improvement, regardless of the 10 per cent limitation contained in the char- ter. “By the express terms of the general relating to works of internal improvement sald Mr. Connell, “the 10 per cenl limit as determined by the decisions of the Suprs court of Nebraska appl of indebtedness which r ternal improvement “Under the general law to which reference is made, the same being section 1 of chapter xlv of the Compiled Statutes of Nebrash the city has the right to vote bonds for works of internal improvement until the full limit of 10 per cent of the sed valuation of the city is reached. This Is clear from a reading of the section of the general law re- ferred to. 'The question, however, still re- mains as to whether under the charter the limitation is placed on the right of the city to vote bonds in excess of the total amount of its indebtedness, including bonds other than those heretofore voted for works of in- ternal improvement. The city cha eTcon- tains no dircct reference to the city's power to vote bonds for works of internal improy ment. The only provision that can in ny manner have a bearing on the question is that which is found in scction 66 of the char- ter, giving to the city the right to vote bonds for’ certain purposes, and is as follows: Provided the bonded hl']l"?l\lh s of the city, exclusive, ete., * 1 not at any’ time exceed in the a 10 per cent of the assessed valuation, “We have already practically reached the 10 per cent limit in voting honds for internal improvements under this section. The lan. guage contained in the proviso referred to, ‘the honded indebtedness of the city,” must be conceded to be broad enough to include bonds fssued by the city for works of inter~ nal improvement, and such bonds would nec- essarily have to be included for the purpose of determining the bonded indebtedness of the city, were it proposed to vote bonds under section 66 of the charter, The question, however, remains whether this limitation has any application to the general law relating to the voting of bonds for works of internal improvement to which matter tells you all ticket agent, 1302 y Connell on Ques- e clear to the class s of in- o removed | reference has been made. I am clearly of the opinion that it does not. The proviso to which reference has been made, applics only to honds of the character named in fon_ 66 therefore reach the conclusion under the general law, the city has the right to vote bonds for works of infc improve- ment up to the full limit of 10 per cent of the dvaluation, regardless of the proviso contained in segtion 66 of the chap- ter. “If T am correct in my conclusion, the right then does exist, not only to vote bonds to the Union Depot company, the same being as proposed a work of internal improve- ment, but the city would also have the right to vote bonds to aid in the construction of the proposed Platte river canal. There can be no sort of controversy but that the canal is a work of#internal improvement. If it were desired that an independent company should construct the canal, with aid to be voted by the city, I believe this could be done under the law. Although I believe it can so be done, T question the advisability of doing s0. Iam firmly of the opinion that when the canal is constructed, it should be constructed by the city, and forever owned and operated by the city. But before this could be done, additional legislation would be that —_—— You cannot deny facts, and it is a fact that Salvation Oil is the greatest pain cure. 250, most fetching provided for theater A genuine novelty and soclal device will be parties by the management of Miss Mar- lowe during this charming artist’s coming engagement at the Boyd for large theater parties—special programs, ribbbon-bound in wedding bristol covers, ly em- bossed by Demp 0., the fa- mous New York One of the four leaves of the prog proper will be re served for the nam hosts and guests constituting a given party.
