JUDGE TUMBLES FROM BENCH Gordon is Proclaimed Unworthy to Act as Police Magistrate, OFFICIAL PROVES TOO KIND TO CRIMINALS City Revenn A Shown to Have Saffered Heavily Through Frace tlee of Remitting Fines Properly Administered, Former Police Magistrate 8. I. Gordon has been permanently removed from office for incompctency and willful disregard of dutles by a decree of the district court. Judge Gordon was suspended a few months Ako, when Impeachment proceedings wer commenced agalust him by the mayor and | the city council. Nearly all the charges aud specifications preferred at that time wero found by the court to be allegations of fuct. The decree specified that by remit- ting fines and suspending sentences with- out number at a great loss to the city in revenue anu with persistent hindrance to the police department in the preservation of peace and order, the ex-police judge Justified hie impeachment. For Eis own benefit Judge Dickinson, who slgned the decree, prepared a record of the casen In police court during Judge Gordon's incumbency of the office that was even a more eloquent commentary on the exlsting incompetency than the charges of the city officlals. The record was read in court. It showed that during the last year and elght mouths, when Judge Gordon held o there had been before him 8,712 cases. Of this number thers were 1,911 convictions and 6,773 cases dismissed. Of the convie- tions there wcre 866 cases in which sen- tences had been suspended, as the court pointed out, a little less than half. This left about 1,000 cases properly dealt with out of a total of about 9,000. In this small number of instances the persons charged with crimes were duly punished and the city recelved the customary fines. Good Intentions No Dxcn Judge Dickinson took up the question of intent on Judge Gordon's part. He sald that the former police maglstrate's con- tention that he belleved he was acting with the authority of the law Iu remitting fines and suspending sentences would not excus him from responsibility, as a person hold- ing an elective office Is presumed by the law to know all the dutles connected with that office The interest that the impeachment proceedings have attracted was indicated by the throng that filled the court room when Judge Dickinson read the decree. Many of those present were friends of Judge Gordon's, but by far the largest part ot the crowd were attorneys and business men who have followed the testimony since the opening day, being Interested in seeing the office of police judge properly fliled. Judge Dickinson's decree was a lengthy one, bristling with supreme court decisions in similar cases. He sald that there was only one statute under which the present proceedipgs would be governed. This provided that an oficlal may be removed from office by a judge of the district court in the event of the mayor and three council- men filing charges against the ofMclal, alleg f0g Incompetency or any other cause suf ficient for removal. Only part of the statute is applicable to the present case, Judge Dickinson sald, as the clause “any other cause sufficient for removal” is too general. Court Quotes Authori To determine what constitutes incom- petency Judge Dickinson quotes a declslon of the supreme court whereln a county surveyor had been removed from office for incompetency, his offense being that he had repoatedly removed corner stones in at- tempting to correct government surveys. In that e the surveyor belleved he was acting within the authority of the law. It developed that he was not. The court held that Judge Gordon's case is similar. He belleved that he was fulfilling his dutles in remitting fines and suspending sentences, but in the court's opinion he was not, the law allowing that power to the mayor and the mayor alone being quoted in proof. Judge Dickinson sald: “It may be held by gome that when a man Is elected to office by the pubile the will of the people ought to be respected and their cholce should not be removed, but the same constitution that provides for an election provides also for a removal from office for malfeasance. The doctrine has been applicable for time im- memorial. 1 bave complled a few figures us u record covering Judge Gordon's term of ofMice. While he was on the bench in 1890 there was in his court a total of 4,642 cases, Of this num. or 4,889 were dismissed and there were 660 convictions, Of the con- victions thers were 422 cases in which the sontences were suspended. In the following elght months of his ofMce there was a total of 4,770 cases, 2,384 dismissals and 1,251 con- victions, Among the convictions were 440 suspended sentence cases. That 18 the record on which the decree is based in the maln, No P'ower to Pardon. “I find that the police judge has no power to suspend sentences when they are once imposed. That power is conterred on the mayor alone. I find that of the charges and specifications preferred by the mayor and the council, 117 {u all, only six of the charges are not substantlated by the evi dence.

Clatms for Jamages Owners Are lowed, Unless a higher tribunal reverses tho verdict of the jury in Judge Baxter's court relating to the claims of property owners |on Bixteenth street near the viaduct for damages on account of the reconstruction of the viaduct, there will be no_delay on the part of the city in the work of bullding the viaducts on Twenty-fourth street and the Vinton street boulevard The Jury found for the city against the claimanis for | damagos, after deliberating on the evidence | for twenty-four hours | The suit was a test case brought by Anna Mellhede against the city on an appeal from tho reward of the appraisers, who allowed | the customary damages when the Sixteenth streat viaduct was bullt. There were seven other similar sults, but by Property the attorneys 10g the verdict of the jury in the present case as final. If it had appeared from the evidence considered by the jurors that the city s liable for excessive damages when a viaduct 1s constructed there would have been a long delay in similar work in other parts of the city, as the city attorney had insisted that no further s taken towards securing the other viaducts projected unlesa the property holders would waive all claims for damages.

The members will devote thelr efforts to securing from congress an appropriation large enough to bulld at least one storage reservolr in the arid region and will insist on having irriga- tion laws which will prevent such a reservolr from falling into the hands of land speculators. It was the opinion of the congress that the appropriation should be included in the river and harbor bill, as it never falls to pass,” sald Carroll G. Pears who attended the congress in Chicago. “‘Nothing was sald as to the location of the remervolr or reservoirs, that being & matter which experts may determine after the ap- propriation is secured. As to the routine business of the con- gress the Omaha papers had excellent r ports, far better in fact than any of the Chicago papers. The Chicago pupers devotel much space to letters from President Mc- Kinley and other notables and failed to say much about the reports and papers read to the congress. Captain Chittenden's paper probably contalned more that was of value than any other contribution. He has spent years in studylng storage reservoirs and bad much to tell that was new to men who have not exomined the great reservoirs which are now in use in California and other western states. ‘Save the forests and store the floods’ was the motto of the congress.

A sworn statement of the democratic county committee's housekeeping was filed usterduy with the county clerk, {items of expense and revenue being set | forth for the three months of August, Sep- tember and October. The committee ap- parently spent the greater part of its time and moncy in establishing the fact that the | republican candidates were good men and true, In every cranny of the city a demo- cratic emissary thrust a nose keen for the |scent of fraud, fiuding, as it atterward | proved, nothing on which to base a sus- pleton The committee did not spare its funds in setting detectives, both professional and |amateur, on the trail. All through the list of items occur such notations as ‘Pat Mos- tyn, $48, for looking up illegal reglstrars. | Al Sigwart, $15, similar service.” In addi- |tion to the professional there are thirty [Items crediting untralned seekers for cor ruption with amounts varying from $5 to $20. The total sum thus expended approxi- mates $1,000 and no better tribute for the | republican side could be asked than the final showing that the money was throwm away. The committee devoted speclal attention to the Third ward, which proved in par- ticular a haymow full of mares' nests to the corruption unearthers. To counteract to fight fire with fire and provided Ed Roth- ery und Pat Ford with $100 with which to employ twenty Third ward ‘“workers” on election day. The report does not define the term “‘workers." The whole amount expended directions 1s sald to foot up $3,453.90, while $3,460.90 1s given as the total moneys re- ceived. The committee therefore claims to have a balance on hand of $16. The receipts from candidates are reported at $840, the county attorney taking the lead with a gift of $200. By an odd freak of fate those who were the least liberal were in general among the few successful ones. Outside of the candidates all of the county office- holders were held up for various amounts ranging from a contribution of $76 from Sheriff Power down to $4.60 from minor clerks. in sundry In consideration of its services in swing- ing the state into the republican column Douglas county has been sparsely rep- resented so far among those who wait about Governor Dietrich's hotel in Hastings. Re- publicans of the county have apparently been content for the most part that they have done what they undertook to do with- out expressing subsequently any dectded taste for pastry. Two candidates for preforence have been proposed by Omaha Scandivavians, Charles M. Rylander seeking the ol inspectorship and Dr. A. Johnson the custody of the State asylum at Lincoln. These two Swedish- Americans visited Hastings Friday at the head of a strong Scandinavian delega- tion to take part in the festivities and in- cidentally to confer with the governor, On thelr refurn the excursionists stopped at Lincoln to lend their voices to the jollifica- tion there yesterday and the result of thelr Jaunt s not locally known. Mr. Rylander has appeared at intervals in republican councils during the last twelve yoars, He fs an insurance man and is prominent in the Swedish league. Dr. Johnson s president of the same organiza- tion. The latter's quest is considered hope- less In view of the selection of Dr. Greene for the place. Another candidate for the oll fnspectorship is James L. Houston, pres- ident of the Traveling Men's Republican club, a vigorous organization which 15 ex- erting itself to further its favorite's inter- ests. Charles Morgan, chairman of the execu- tive committee of the republican county committee, has presented his merits to the goveruor for the deputy attorney general- ship. Morgan has also served as treasurer of the city committee and has done his part in politics for several years. His principal opponent will probably be Norris Brown ot Kearncy, the proprietor of the Kearney Hub. On a minlature scale the existence of Comptroller Westberg is Itke unto that of Governor Dietrich. Mr. Westberg has only one plum to hand out, the deputy comptrol- lership, but there are many eager for a bite. Deputy Sackett will remain on duty until December 1 and it 18 expected that until then ro cholce will be publicly announced A number of applicants appear to the comptroller of almost equal merit and at this time he Is undecided among them, Heury Sharpe, who gave place to Mr. Sack- ett last spring, has returned from Wyoming and is said to be & leading candidate. 8.
