IS VERY SUCCESSFUL JURIST
In Addition to Brilliant Career on
District Bench, Has Sat witn
Supreme Court Often.
From Wednesday's Dally.
Vmm Nebraska City comes the
information that the friends there of
District Judee James T. Begley, have
started the ball rolling for the plac
ing of his name of this very aDie
jurist before the people of the first
district as a candidate ior iae su
preme bench of the state at te next
election in 1924.
This move is no real surprise to
the many friends of Judge iiegiey
over the second judicial district, as it
has been recognized that the mark
ed ability of the district Judge would
in time call him from his present
duties to a larger place in the legal
ranks of the state and nation.
There has been no presiding judge
i the second district bench that
has given more general satisfaction
than has Judge Begley and nis de
cisions have been time and again
sustained by the higher courts and
his absolute fairness and Imparlcal
ity in his court work has made him
a strong figure over the state among
the district judges.
In addition to his work on the
district bench Judge Begley has been
frequently called upon to set with the
state supreme court and his splend
id work recognized in his being se
eded to write decisions in a number
of very important cases and which
have established presidents in law
that are now a part of the basic law
law of the state. Notable among
his decisions was that of stregthen
ing the power of the workmen's com-
pansation act.
Judge Begley possesses one great
asset in addition to bis legal train
ing, and that is his splendid youth
and vigor that has enabled him to
keep his district court work well in
hand in addition to his added duties
as sitting judge with the supreme
court, and his handling of the cases
h3 saved the taxpayers a great
deal of money in saving the cost of
juries in many cases and prompt and
matter of fact handling of th cases
that come before him.
Judge .Begley is a native son of
Sarpy county and in his young man
hood was selected by his. fellow
citizens as county attorney of that
county and latter ns county judge
anTl from that position he was called
by Governor Morehead to the dis
trict bench of the second judicial
district, succeding the late Judge
Harvey D. Travis and since his ap
pointment he has received several re
elections at the hands of the voters
of the district and without oppo
sition, a rare tribute to his fairness
and the confidence of the people of
the people of the district.
It would be with regret that the
people of Cass, Otoe and Sarpy coun
ties would part with the services of
this able Jurist but the state su
preme bench certainly would be the
gainer in his services. This com
ing year the first district will have
the naming of one of the judges of
the supreme court and there could
be no more worthy choice made than
that of Judge James T. Begley.
MUSICAL TEA IS
GREATLY ENJOYED
II BYALL PRESENT
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion Give Tea for Benefit of
Library at "Sunnyside."
From Wednesday's Dally
Yesterday afternoon the ladies of

the care of historical objects and

pose at the library and for this ob
ject the funds are to be devoted that

The attendance at the musical tea
was not as large as had been hoped
for. but was very appreciative of the
splendid musical program offered by
the ladles participating.
Mrs., Roy Cole and Miss Kathryn
Wadick each gave delightful piano
selections that were thoroughly en
joyed and Mrs. Ferris York Jelinekl
cravt tun rliarmlinr vnpnl colpctinna

A. D. Caldwell also gave two violin
numbers of real artistic ability.
The porch and lawn were very
bright and attractive with the green
of the grass and the brightness of
the summer flowers and here the
audience were seated and the refresh
ments served at the close of the pro
gram. Mrs. Tom Murphy presided at
the coffee urn, while Madame Leete
poured the tea, and the refreshments
were served by th ladies of the chapter.
The members of Fontenelle chapter
feel very appreciative of the kindness
of their regent, Mrs. Wescott, in plac

The many friends here of Andy
Schmader, the heavyweight boxer,
have been awaiting the details of the
recent bout at Pierce, Nebraska, in
which he was suspended following a
rough house fight, and the World
Herald this morning has the follow
ing explanation of the fight, parts of
which are quoted from the account
cf it in the Norfolk Daily News, and
which shows plainly the bout was a
badly mixed up affair with .innefici

rushed in and with two fierce wal
lops in the face sent Andy down
against the hopes. While Hill was
counting over the prostrate Schma

finally removed Vokac so he -could
continue the count over Schmader,
Andy arose, staggering, his nose
broken and his face and shoulders

FAMILY REUNION
From Wednesday Dally.
Last Sunday at the beautiful coun

Privett, near Cedar Creek, was held
n family gathering of the Renner

baskets and at noon a sumptuous
dinner was spread beneath the trees.

taken and when the homegoing hour
came all left declaring that had had

they came near seeing several fights

Vokac Starts Pushing
In the first two rounds Vokac com
plained to Referee Ed Hill that Sch
mader was hitting low. Hill took no
action. Vokac -then started pushing
Schmader around the ring and into
the ropes while they were clinched.
When Hill would attempt to break
them Vokac would rain blows on
Schmader's face.
groggy, vokac seized nlm in nis
arms and threw him bodily out of
the ring. And, according to the
Norfolk News, the referee started to
count! The gong put an end to
that tinequal struggle.
Schmader came out of his corner
for the fifth somewhat refreshed.
From that time on, fouls were so
numerous it was almost impossible
to see any boxing at all. All rules
were ignored. The two fighters,
both evidently enraged, choked.
kicked, wrestled, bit, butter did
everything that could possibly in

Andy Hits Eeferee
In the seventh, Schmader took one
more swing at the referee during an
especially bloody session and grazing
Hill's jaw, sent the "official" sprawl
ing on the canvas.
.Hill leaped to his feet and with
bare fists, tore into Schmader, the
Norfolk News' story relates. At the
same time Vokac tore in from behind
It began to look bad for Andy. Hill
made his attack short, however, and
seizing Vokac's arm, raised it in
token of victory, on the ground that
Schmader had committed a foul by
hitting the referee.
The ring soon was filled with ex
cited spectators, some screaming in
Schmader's behalf, some in Hills be
half, some in Vokac's behalf and
others just to hear themselves yell.
Arguments were hot on all sides.
A Knox county deputy sheriff at

Johnny Vokac, brother of the pug,
took a swipe at the undersheriff.
