With only five days yet to elapse before
the date for the big event, preparations
for the first race meeting of the Omaha!
Speedway company, which Is scheduled for
Sunday and Monday, are fast being com
pleted. The uncertain weather conditions
and the fact that many of the automobile

the Motor club endurance run, delayed
preparations some, but now that there Is no
conflicting interest, the Speedway officials
are working overtime In an effort to make
the meet a success.
The track is In excellent condition, except
that the recent heavy rains have made It
a little soft. Prior to that time It was al
most as hard and smooth as a pavement,
and with the excellent drainage facilities
It will take but a few hours of sunshine
to put It back In first-class shape- Unless
there is further rain the track will be again
open to the public after Wednesday morn
ing and automobile owners are urged to
try out their machines upon it.
Work upon the grandstand Is practically
complete and It Is expected that by Wednes
day night the finishing touches will
have been put upon the structure, which
Is to accommodate 2.600 people. There Is
also In process of construction a spacious
bandstand and a combination stand for
Judges and the press representatives. These
stands will both be finished before Sunday-.
In addition to the regular seats there are
to be thirty boxes In ths grandstand and a
great number of these have already been
reserved. .

ORIGIN .OFJURY 0FS, TWELVE
Some Marked Differences In Ancient
and Slodern "Fountain of
. : (Justice."
A suggestion recently put forward by an
American, woman in London, Dr. Mary R.
Wilson, formerly of Indianapolis, who for
several years has been connected with the
Royal Ophthalmic hospital, that the jury
system would be greatly Improved if It
took form In .a body of trained professional
Jurymen, has moved the London Dally
Telegram to give an Interesting history of
the Jury of twelve as It Is known In Great
Britain and in America. -
When the, Normans conquered England
they found the country provided with a
Judicial system In which in criminal trials
various ordeals were promlnent-sfeatures,
the ordeal . of carrying hot iron and of
putting ths hand Into boiling water being
customary diversions applied to the accused
person.
Jurors came Into being under the Planta
genets receiving their first statutory recog
nition In the twelfth century. The twelve
were not Independent Individuals qualified
as now by their Ignorance of the merits
of the case, but wero neighbors who knew
something of the facts and could therefore
supplement the testimony of the witnesses.
For a long time It was ground for objection
to a juror that he was not possessed of
private knowledge and Information, and as
late as the ralgn of Charles II It was held
that "Juries are called from the neighbor
hood because they should not be wholly
strangers to the fact."
When the twelve men of the Jury of today
are discharged unable to agree there Is no
penalty for lack of unity, though In a
flagrant case the Judge may give them a
scoring from the bench. In other times tn
England It was different, and where one
held out against the eleven he was com
mitted to prison and the verdict of his fel
lows, was taken. In the reign of King Ed
ward HI the Judges decided that a verdict
given by a majority was a nullity and It
was recommended that the Judges of assise
should carry the Jurymen about with them
In a cart until they, should agree. During
the reign of Queen Elisabeth the success
ful party In a suit usually entertained the
Jury at a banquet after the verdict had
been recorded and this was all they had
for their labor.
Many antiquaries have made guesses as
to whence the Jury came. A French au
thority says Its origin Is lost "In the night
of time." Blackstone speaks of It as "a
trial that hath been used time out of mind
In this (the English) nation. Other au
thorities think it was Introduced Into Eng
land by the Normans, who themselves got
It from northern Europe. The Scandina
vians had an established jury system. It is
ssld, a thousand years ago. In England the
rule was before the times of the Tudors
that jurors should go unrefreshed until a
verdict was given. In ths Tudor days this
restriction was relaxed so that lf .a Juror
became faint he might be served with meat
and drink "and his fellows also at their
own costs or at ths Indifferent costs of the
parties If they so agree, or by the assent
of the justices." In this way the madden
ing spectacle of one juror feasting while his
associates were starving was avoided.
Vanag Woman Commits Satclde.
NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Aug. 30. tSpe
clal.) Miss Clara Kuennlng, aged 26, resid
ing four miles north of Syrsiuss, with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kuennlng,

RAWN IS IMPLICATED NOW
Former Illinois Central President
Is Bald to Have Held
Interest.
CHICAGO, s Aug. 30. Resumption of ths
hearing of "charges against Frank B.
Harriman, Charles L. Ewlng and John M.
Taylor, former Illinois Central railroad of
ficials, charged of car repralr frauds, de
veloped sensational evidence. Tneophile
Reuther, a former director of the Oster
mann Manufacturing company, one of the
repair firms charged with grafting from
the railroad, declares on the witness stand
that he had been told that the late Ira
Q. Rawn held 2,000 shares of the Oster
mann company stock. Reuther testified that
Ostermann said that he gave Kawn the
shares in consideration of an order for 10,000
car doors.
Rawn, who at the time he was found
shot to death at his summer home In Win
net ka, 111., several weeks ago, was presi
dent of the Monon railroad, and had held
a high official position with the Illinois
Central railroad. It had been expected that
he would be one of the important witnesses
In the present case. Previous to his death,,
when being questioned before a master in
chancery by attorneys for the Illinois Cen
tral railroad, Rawn declared that he held
no Interest In the repair firm.
Reuther' s evidence regarding Rawn was
given while the witness was being cross
examined regarding a conversation with
Henry C. Ostermann, president of the Os
termann Manufacturing company. - During
this conversation Reuther said Ostermann
expressed his Intention of giving Rawn, Jo
seph K. Baker, John M. Taylor and Frank
B. Harriman 2,000 shares each of Ostermann
stock. Rawn,' according to Ostermann,
promised to give to the Ostermann com
pany the work of making 2,000 grain doors
lf he got the stook, testified Reuther.
"Did he get the shares?" asked Aeeorney
Rothert.
"I asked Ostermann that question subse
quently,' and he said he had given them the
shares of stock," replied Reuther. j
Ostermann Threatened to Kill,
Previous to giving this evidence regard
ing, the' alleged stock transaction, Reuther
related a story of an encounter with Os
termann during which he declared that Os
termann threatened to kill him if he told
of the transactions between the Illinois
Central railroad and the Ostermann com
pany. Reuther stated that he went to
Ostermann's offices to protest because he
had not received dividends upon his stock
In the repair company.
"Ostermann said no dividends had been
paid," testified Reuther, "and I told him
that I had seen a check sent to a man
named Tomskl. He said It was a lie.
" 'You have done more harm than good
with this company,' Ostermann shouted,
and I replied that I had done . a whole
lot toward organixlng the concern and
said: 'It will all oome out how. the Illinois
Central was robbed.' He grew angry,
seized a paperweight and struck me on the
head. I fell to the floor and some men
carried me out and placed me on my
back. Ostermann said hs would kill me lf
I told about the Illinois Central business.
I got home and had to go to bed. August
Diedrtch, foreman in the Burnstde shops,
called at. my home and told me I should
not say anything about what happened.
'Don't mix up John M. Taylor,' Diedrlch
asked me. Mr. Mllllgan also called and
told me not to say anything about the
Ostermann affair, but I told them I was
going to tell the Illinois Central just as
soon as I got out of bed. v
"I went to see Mr. Burton, master me
chanic of the Burnstde shops he was my
boss and told him what I knew of the
stealing In the Illinois Central, and that
I was going to squeal. He advised me to
keep quiet and said that the men who
were stealing. would get caught anyway.
"Then I went to see John M. Taylor and
William Renshaw, superintendent of ma
chinery, and told them how the railroad
was being robbed. They said there was
no stealing and told me to keep my mouth
shut."

DAMAGE OF MINOR NATURE
CAUSED BY THE RAIN
ewers Prove Inadequate and Cellars
Are Flooded by the Over
flow. The second edition of Sunday's rain which
began about 10 o'clock and continued with
some 'intermissions nearly all of the re
mainder of the night. Inflicted soine dam
age In various parts of the city. This was
esjxMially so In the southwestern part of
the city, where the rushing water from the
hills and streets became greater than the
sewers could dispose of. South Main street
was converted Into a torrent, which burst
over the curbing and spread out over ths
level country. In several places the water
swept over the sidewalks and Into the cel
lars of some of the business houses, l"'
other parts of . town pavements wert y
slightly undermined, and In the south part
of the city where there are still some
wooden crosswalks the damage was still
greater., Everything movab' was swept
away and wooden crossings wer found
yesterday morning ten blocks from the
spot which they were designed to occupy.
Indian creek, the element in . the city's
economic life that Is always taken Jnta
consideration In connection with every
rainstorm, behaved very nicely all night,
but at 4 o'clock yesterday morning It was
dangerously near the flood stage. The re
moval of the old Eighth street bridge was
all that prevented an overflow. The chief
rush of water came from outside the city,
where the rain was very heavy.
The lightning knocked out several hun-V
dred telephones for both companies and re-1W
peatedly shut off eleotrio light 'circuits- by
burning out fuses. The fire alarm system
was knocked out for several hours and was
not repaired until yesterday forenoon.
