Both prosecutisn snd defense are busily % completing proparations for the trial !' which will begin Monday morning in dis § trict court room No. 1 before Judge Jamea § P. English. A change of venue, whic !\, had been asked by Attorney Richard Hor- ton. representing Hauser, was denfed by Judge English, who held that Hauser will be able to securs as fair a trial here as "in any of the surrounding counties. A { ehange of venue has never heen granted yin the history of Douglas county in a orjminal trial, officials say. ‘The subpoena requirmg the attendance of Miss Slater at the rrial wan served | upon her in the offices of the Woodmen of the World, ‘where she fs emoloyed.

Wvidence will be produced showing that Hauser was In Omaha the day the murder was committed, and that He left the vicinity of the crime by a street car late the night of October 16.

A police judge is helpleas to administer to a big part of the woe heartaches with which he comes in contact, and to better the conditions I‘h“ are respon#ible. But I still belleve i that what little good we can do would be sutficlent reason for keeping the posi- ton and working hard for the best.” “How about the $3307" inserted the | sérive,, facetiously, ““The principie is the main thing," re- pled the judge with a touch of scorn lor the mercenary scribbler. "y but $3,300 is some principal and {invested ten years at 6 per cent inter est, would amount—"" The judge looked witheringly upen the reporter, who had just started a savings: Account and left him still figuring on “complex"" interest. ‘“The best people are llable to ma mistakes. For this reason a police! jud Is necessary, even though the position s not desirable at all times,” Police Judge |Harney Reed of the South Side munief- | pal court said after reading of the resig- nation of Stevenson. "I might as well be the man to im- pose the punishment. There will always be a necessity for such a person as long as people are not perfect. If T make mis- takes in judgment, the good things that ‘e been able to accomplish through personal administration, I calculate, will even the scale. At least, T am not worry- Ing over anyone at present,” | The judge was quite optimistic ahd i & good deal more kind-hearted than his quotation would imply. | | I ee—— A “For Sale” or “For Rent” Ad placed in The HBHee will accomplish its pur- pose.

Clever schem», what? You see, If tie senator were to recom mend one particular man now before the primaries he would gain the assistance | of that man ~nd that man's friends in his own struggle, but he probably would lose the assistance of all the disappointed aspirants, AnJ, of course, there will be | more disappointed ones than successful | ones.
