THE BEE: SH().T\\‘H‘L SHOOTS ANOTHER Points Out How Neatly a City Ordi- aance is Put to Sleep. } NULLIFIED BY DELAY IN COURT Memsure Providing Licenses for Motormen Still Rests in Peace on the Docket of Judge Batelle. The practieal nullification of a eity ordi- nance s cited by Attorney F. A. Shotwell | in support of his thesis that unnecessary delays do occur in distriot court. ! “Hveryone seems tc have forgotten,” says Mr., Shotwell, “‘that early In October the eity councll of Omaha passed an ordinance | providing for the llcensing of motormen employed by the Omaha & Council Bluffs | Btreet Rallway company. 'The ordinance, | which was No. 6872, was first passed, then | vetoed by Mayor Dahlman and then passed | over the veto. “October 2 John L. Webster, as attorney for the street rallway company, filed & pe- titlon In district dourt for an injunction | against the enforcement of the ordinance. | He went first to Judge Istelle, on whose docket the case was entered. and finding | him out of town that day went to Judge Redick. Jpdge Redick granted a restrain ing order and made this returnable October | n. The argument October 21 was, of to be before Judge Estelle. I’ Apain elle Is Absent, “The day set, attorneys for the eity filed | a motion to strike & number of paragraphs from plaintift’s petition and the attorneys appeared in Judge Estelle’s court room at the hour named. But Judge MEstelle had | agaln to be out of the city. “Sinee then not one thing has been done in the matter and the restraining order | remains in effect. | “A restraining order is, of course, an emergency grant, intended to provide tem- porary and immediately necessary reli:f. Whether or not a restralning order should have beén allowed In this case Is not im- portant, and may be admitted to have been right. | he point I wish to make is this: Fur} nearly two months, through the district | court of Douglas county, a city ordinance has remained in a state of nullity. “Now, the chlef blame for this state of affairs does not devolve immediately and directly upon the district court, except in one way. The city attorney's office ap- pears to be lax in pushing a hearing on the question whether the restraining ordsr should be dissolved or whether a tem- porary Injunction should issu Up to the City Attorney. “It is up to the city attorney to go Into court and insist on a hearing. But he has not done so. Consequently the district court is in the condition of being used to vold a eity ordinance without due process of law. It would be unusual for a judge to call up such a question as this until one or other party eame iInto court and asked for o hearing. But if the court wishes to | it might take the Initiative in order to clear its dockets. “All this is entirely beside the question | whether the ordinance is or 1s not a good ome. I do not ch and do not belleve that either Judge Estelle or City Attorney Burnam is influenced by any improper motive whatever in the matter and such an inference would be undoubtedly unjust But that this delay has occurred and might well continue a long time is alto- gether indisputable. The facts are plain. The records are in the office of the clerk of the distriet court.” Wharton Robbed at Y. M. C. A. Bath Loses Valuable Diamond and Watch and May Swear Off Bathing as Result, course, John C. Wharton is revolving in his mind the propostion, does it pay to take a bath? Of one thing he is certain—it does not if | all baths cost as much as the one he louk' ‘Wednesday at the Young Men's Christian association. This little plunge cost Mr. Wharton a dia- mon stud valued at §150, a fine watch and | ehain and about §7 In cash. These articles ‘were taken from his clothing which hung in locker No. 8, while he was enjoying the | refreshing effect of his plunge. It is belleved some scamp whose eagle eye ghted on Mr. Wharton's glittering | dlamond, wormed himself into a corner of | the Young Men's Christlan association nl} Mr. Wharton went in and got lay on the ground.
