Read will be the successor of Judge Ben 8. Baker it Governor Savage accepts the recommendation of a meeting of members of the Fourth district bar, held n courtroom No. 1 Saturday afternoon. Ho was selected on a formal ballot from A list of fifteen candidates by a vote of 125 out of a total of 242. His selection was then made unanimous Tt wns a nolsy, Rood-natured Omaha and South Omaha attorneys, with a sprinkling from the outelde counties of the district, that flled the room whe President T. J. Mahoney of the Dougls County Bar association called the meeting to order shortly after 2 o'clock. In fact nolse and good nature marked the proceed ings throughout and, while the business transacted was done with reasonable dis patch, there was an unmistakable atmos phere that reminded one of a country debat Ing soclety just getting organized. There was a notlceable lack of any display temper or {ll-feeling Mr. Mahoney told of the events lead! up to the call for the convention, wh was designed to Include all practicing at torneys of the Fourth judiclal district, and sald that he had conferred with Governor | €avage last Monday upon the matter under | consideration. Mr. Mahoney the governor ying that he would give any recommendation that a representative meet- fng of attorneys might make “the cordial | recoption and careful consideration that it | deserved.” After the election of T.

Learned Introduced a lengthy tion providing rules for the the name to be presented for Governor vage’s conslderation, They provided that there should be no nominating speeches; that the election should be conducted un- der the Australlan system, and that a cer taln form of ballot, a copy of which was exhibited, must be used. The resolution precipitated an avalanche of motions, amendments and substitutes, as well as a lengthy and spirited discussion The ballots, of which there were sald to be 2,000 printed, contained the names of twenty avowed candidates. No one seemed willing to stand sponsor for the ballots and there was much objection to them. The irrepressible John O. Yelser said that the ballot as prepared wduld work an injustice to many honorable members of the bar. “All but two of them have been or will be andidates for the place,” said he. “I am crowd of % h Mahoney as tary, M resolu- selection of ono of the two, but I am not at liberty to | tell who the other one believe the other fellows ought to have a chance, and as all of us can write we should prepare our ballots in the old- fashioned wa A substitute resolution by J. H. McIntosh prevailed. Its provisions were much the same as the other one, but no form of bal- lot was provided for.

Responding to calls for a speech Judge Baker spoke briefly and his remarks wer. punctuated with frequent laughter and g lause. Ho said ntlemen, 1 thank you for the resolu tion you have just adopted. Thero is no one thing more pleasant for a man after having lived in a community for twelve yenrs than to be the ohject of such a reso- lution. It 18 true that when a man is dead people say good things about him, but it {s rather unusual for that to happen while he i etill In the land of the living. it 15 aléo a rare thing for a man to speak at his own funeral “There ls one thing I have always sought to do on the bench—determine in my own mind the right action to take and then do it.

Judge Vinsonhaler was called into the case at this point and it was ascertained that the young man from Avoea had saved up several hundred dollars from his labors as a farm hand, that his uncle owned a saloon which he expected to inherit some day and that he' was willing to accept any kind of @ bride that the county Judge, with his discriminating eye, might choose for him, “Come with me," eald the judge the way into Tom Crocker's offic Here Mr. Hanson was formally fntroduced to two young and pretty stenographers, to each of whom, in turn, he submitted his matrimonial proposition.

I'd rather have a blonde, but a brenette will do it she is a good dresser. You see it's this way: Rosle and I had a quarrel Christmas night and she threw me over I told her 1'd come down to Omaha and get a wife who was better looking than any girl in Avoca. She saw me get on the train this morning, and when I want her to see me arm and arm with the finest lcoking girl I can find {n Owaha. I'll even things up with Rosle and am willing to pay the man well who finds me the bride I want. The trouble with all these girls in offices is that they have such good jobs they don’t want to give them up. They keep ask- ing about how much money I've got, and I don’t want any girl who will marry me for money. I want a woman who will marry because she loves me. There are plenty of girls T could marry in Avoca, but I like the Omaha girls beer. They are more styl- ish."

He wlil conter on his arrival in the United States with & number of the Panama company's American representatives and overtures for the sale of the canal property to the United States will then be renewed In view of the doubt existing in the United States regarding the price the Panama Canal company’s representatives intend to ask for the property, the corre- spondent of the Assoclated Press made in- quirles from the best source of ‘nforma tioa on that subject and s enabled to say that the price will be approximately $40,- 000,000. This figure cannot yet be glven as the exact one, because the company has not yet come to a definite declsion, but it will not be appreciably higher. The Isthmian commission’s full Teport is now in posses- sfon of the Panama company and its valua- tions will be studied in detall. The report of the directors of the Panama company. cabled to the Assoclated Press December 21, sald: “We offer to accept as the basis and principle of renewal of fresh negotia- tions the figures and declarations main- tained in the Isthmian commission’s defini- tive report.” Tho estimates come to by such eminent men are not thought to be open to ques- tion, though, possibly, a few Items are sus- ceptible to reconsideration and a few mat- ters may remain to be decided, such as a valuation of the company’s stock of sup- plles, but none of these Is calculated to modify the gross figure to any extent. The company does not Intend to give the slight- est ground for uny further misunderstand- ing, and belleves tho definitive price put forward will now be meceptable. With M Lampre in America it will not be necessary for the oficial who Is empowered to submit the definitive price to depart from France until later, when the negotiations are under way.
