GORDONTRIAL NEARLY ENDED| 2 ‘estimony is All In and Attorneys Begin Their Arguments, DEFENSE ~ MAKES ~ POOR SHOWING Attorneys for The proceedings before Judge Dickinson to impeach the former police maglstrate, 1. Gordon, for incompetency and corrupt methods were carrled to a conclusion at yesterday's session of court without the wiartling reacti>nary developments or the indisputable vindication promised by Judge Gordon's lawyers at the ccmmencement of the hearing. The testimony was completed and the counsel made a start on the argu- ments, the city attorney being first to pre- sent hla cake. The defense was content to enter a mild denlal of the multitudinous charges and plead an incomplete showing on the part of the prosecution. ‘“Considering the instances where our client Is alleged to have continued cases until the complaining witness was tired of appeating in court and then to have dismissed them for want of prosecution, there has been no evidence that these complaining witnesses neglected to appear,” they argued, “and the presump- tion under the laws is that these witnesses did wppear and 8o the charge falls ground- less. One of the attorneys found mitigating circumstances in Judge Gordon's lenfency from the standpoint of a soclologlst, “Laws are for the good of society and not to fill the jalls,” he contended. “Judge Gordoa accomplished greater good soclally by com- muting sentences and remitting fines than by sending men to jail.” The city attorncy. by way of reply, told the court he thought a law enforced was attended by greater benefit to the community than It it Iny dead on the statute books. Another phase of the case on which the defense lald strong emphasis was that it had not been proved that Judge Gordon, in his laxity and questionable methods, had ever acted with intent to be corrupt. “The fact that the judge has remitted fines after they were paid to the clerk and has suspended sen- tences after the men were in jail might be evidence of leniency and corruption it it could be proved that he willfully intendad to be lenfent and corrupt, but there has been mo evidence to sustaln this thiory and when it comes to judiclal acts it con- not be presumed to have beer with this intent; it must be proved.” Many Charges Unanswered. To many of the charges the defense pre- ferred to answer only in @ general way, finding protection in the contention that a police magistrate must of n:cessity be leni- ent. There is not a court in the land, it way sald, where so much latitude and lel- ency are required. At one time when the attorney wanderel from the point at issue in a general justification of Judge Gordon's methods without regard to the specifific charges the court found it necessary to drop a reminder that the police magistrate would be tried only on the allegations men- tioned tu the complaint. The defense placed & great deal of 1cliance in the circumstance that Judge Gordon was merely followiag precedent when he suspended sentences, re- mitted fines and accepted straw bonds with- out the authority of the law. It has been done over since the office was established, according to the statements of Judge Gor- don's attorneys, the maglstrate preceding Judge Gordon and the present incumbent of the position were cited to show that Judge Gordon 18 not a wurse offender than they. City Attorney Connell concluded the ar- guments with & scathing arraigument of the ex-pollce magistrate. Ho quoted a decision of the supreme court to show that where negligence 1s 8o gross and disregard of duty w0 flagrant as it bas been In the case of Judge Gordon, the court is justified in as- suming that there has been corruption. The case, he declared, does not stand on a single charge, but is based on many of them, and at least six were not answered in any way. ‘It must appear that the ac- tious of Judge Gordon, which he attempts to excuse by saying he thought he was right and which were so flagrant on nu- merous occasions, will make a stronger sel pr as bri ro va sh N0 Ju M ha wi ca col il not tuted The cases of Westervelt George A.

Smith, assistant keneral freight agent of the Buriington, and J. B. Utt, secretary of the Commercial club, have rewurned from Hot Springs, where they have been in attendance upon the an- uual weeting of the Western Classification | bureau. Messra, Wood and Smith partici- pated in the meeting in their official ca- pacities and Mr. Utt was there to watch out for the interests of Omaha jobbers In this he was ably seconded by the rail- road officials trom Omaha. “The meeting was of partieular import: ance,” sald General Frelght Agent Wood because of the great number of questions that came up for discussion. Over 600 dif- ferent matters were docketed. The changes made were not of such nature ts affect the general commercial or rallroad situation The propositions to abolish the carlo ratings on certain commodities between Chicago, 8t. Louls and the Missouri river were, for the most part, negatived. What few changes were made in this respect re- Iated (o commodities over which there was uo_considerablo debate.” Secretary Utt was more than pleased with the results of the meeting. “The changes fu carload ratings and other mat- ters of fmportance to Missourl river job- bers which were 8o strenuously sought by eastern distributors and jobbers were not granted,” he sald, “and the home jobbers’ intercsts were well cared for. “The Hot Springs meeting was especially important because of the unusually long lst of proposed changes. These originated for the most part fn St. Louis and Chicago and were inimical to the interests of the Omaha jobbers. The tendency of these ap- plications was either to cilminate carload rates or reduce the difference between car- load and less than carload rates. Kastern Jobbers nt Diandvantage. “The theory on which the Missourl river business was bullt up s that merchandise can be purchased in large quantitics and shipped fin carloads at reduced rates per 100 pounds and shipped out in small lots on short hauls, and that the eastern jobber sellicg to the western retailer and paying a comparatively higher rate on small lots on the long distance is naturally placed at a disadvantage because his base of supplies 18 too far from points of consumption, and while on this condition of rates the western jobber has grown in business the castern Jobber has withdrawn to a great extent from western trade. The rallroads have fa- vored Missourl river jobbers In present con- Qitions because they earn more money in hauling heavy carloads long distances than they would to haul the same freight divided into small lots, so that while the eastern jobber has continually complained to the Toads they have received little considern- tion because a compliance would mean a sacrifice of revenue. “Another proposition which was strongly combated by the representatives of the Mis- souri river commercial interests was that of requiring boxes and crates of certain articles to be wired or strapped. This plan originated with the railroads with the idea that its application would reduce the amount of losses, and claims paid in con- sequence, because of boxes and crates be- ing broken open and contents damaged in transit. The Missouri river jobbers made a showing that the adoption of such a rule would not only cost them many thou- sands of dollars per year, but that it would be unjust discrimination. No such rule prévails in the territory east of Chicago and beyond the confines of the western classification, and consequently the western jobber would have to pay the wiring charges on goods both received from the east and on those shipped out. Conse- quently the Chicago jobber, not having to pay these wiring charges on goods received by him from the eastern manufacturer, would have a marked advantage over his be teh the be the ] his ot al o 10 of tod RATINGS ARE RETAINED | | TUESDAY the railronds decided to table the proposi tion nacontinental Associatl | The first meeting of the Transcontinental Passenger assoclation since its complet organtzation will be held this week in St. | Tho matters to be taken up for | consideration will be largely preliminary | and much of the time will bo devoted to a general discussion of ratlroad affairs throughout the vast territory covered by the new association.

NO CLEW TO KLUSEMAN'S FATE Coroner's Jury Unable to Solve Wys- tery Surrounding Dead B ound in Clump of Bushe An inquest was held Monday afternoon in the case of Henry Kluseman, whose dead body was found Sunday morning in the clump of scrub timber near South Omaha A dozon or more witnesses were examined, but none could glve any direct evidence as to the cause of death, and the jury finally returned a verdict to the effect that “the deccased had come to his death by some means to this jury unknown.” Gustave Wickenberg, who found the body while hunting rabbits, testified as to its appearance and surroundings. He sald the bead was lodged between two ouk saplings about the size of his wrist, both of which wero pressed closely, one against the right temple, the other against the left jaw. It was as if the man had fallen in a faint, he sald, and, being In a weakened condition, the result of exposure and fasting, was unable to extricate himself, Thoe body was %o far advanced in decom- position that signs of violence, had there been any, could not have been detected, The clothing showed no such signs. The only circumstance not entirely consonant with the theory of natural death was the pres- ence of a pair of overalls neatly folded, upon which rested the left arm of the corpse. Mrs. Kluseman, widow of the deceased, testified that he left home on the morning of October 10, He bade her goodby as he walked away, as was his custom. M Kiuseran had mot noticed that her hua- band's mind was in any way affected, but added that he had been morose and taci- turn for nearly two weeks prior to his dis- appearance. If he had any encmies who would be disposed to waylay him she did not know of them. The testimony of the brother, John Kluseman, was substantially the same. Dr. Robert Lucke testified that he had attended the deceased twico immediately prior to his disappeararce, but had been called to adminlster treatment for catarrh of the stomach. He did not detect uny evidenco of mental unbalance in his patient The body was 80 badly decomposed that a post mortem examinatlon, with a view to er, NOVEMBER (WILL WAIT FOR NEW \'EAR!

A goodly number of the members of the Omaha Equality club braved the inclement weather last Friday evening to attend the meeting, which was of speclal im- portance on account of the revision of the constitution. In these organizations, which are form throughout the United States, a form of constitution I3 submitted by the Na- tional association which is revised by each club according to Its needs and the work it chooses to do.

F. C. Cralg called attention to the fact that at the last election over G00 voters wero registered in the First and Second precincts of the Sixth ward, lying west of Twenty-fourth street. Councilman Zimman stated that he fa- vored the proposition to restore the sery- ice, but that he had had no opportunity to vote on the proposition.
