"Mere slush und fiddlesticks" Is the way Gen oral Attorney Kelby. of the Burling ton , refers to the testimony of Pro fessor T L. IJoHon , a psychological ex pert from the state university , In a lawsuit recently decided by the su preme court against the railroad and In favor of Emll Schwnnenfcldt , of Lincoln. Schwancnfoldt wn run down and badly hurt by a train Just after ho had driven onto a switch track from a blind alley. Ho claimed he did not have time to get out of the way. The phychologleat expert testified that It takes from one-eighth to one-half a second to respond to an expected warning by those possessing quick mental action , while an unexpected one requires much longer. The gist of It was that the plaintiff , being a young German , probably did not have time to act before the train was u | > on him , and the supreme court gave him the benefit of the doubt and sustained a $3,000 verdict In his favor. Now comes Kelby and wants a re hearing. In a 21-page brief filed yes terday ho pokes all kinds of fun at the professional theory , and Incident ally protests against being psycholog ically separated from $3,000 upon a class of testimony that Is theoretical and not recognized In law as being conclusive of anything. He Insists as a conclusion that "It is only charit able to say of this kind of clap-trap that it was Intended as an indictment of the defendant for some wrong committed by it In a past incarna tion.

Mayor Durland made the following public statement today touching the paving situation as he views it : To the Public : It seems to bo nec essary to use Just a llttlo printer's Ink to get the present city administra tion properly before the people on this much talked of paving proposition. Our predecessors worked the plan up , admirably , to paving the Intersections. And they finally decided there were but two plausible plans to raise the necessary funds for that. The first was , to submit the proposition of voting ing bonds to the voters of the city. The second , to raise the amount by subscription , either from the parties owning the property in the paving dis tricts on Norfolk avenue , or by the ordinary subscriptions. This was about the condition when the present administration took charge of the city's affairs in Jrtay. 1907. It had already been discovered by the prior council that they were debarred from the first plan , by law ; that Is , our population wus not sufficient to sub mit it to the vote of the people. And wo soon began the movement of ex panding the city limits , which has been carried along through its various stages , until now , the plan is up be fore the district court to hear the grievances and give his decision In the May term of court. And when that decision is given ; It will bo for our successors to determine on the next step to be taken. And as for the second plan ; If there had been a sub scription list of an adequate amount to have paved the Intersections pre sented , the council would have been glad to have voted twice , If it were possible , to go ahead with the work months ago , for it would have saved the tax-payers Just that amount of money. And certainly it could not bo expected for the council to pass the hat and raise the funds themselves , which would run into the thousands of dollars. C , D. Durland , Mayor.
