KASTNER CASE EXHAUSTS THE PANEL

Kims Onl.
No jury was secured the Kastner murder
casew hen adjournment was tken last night.
The panel called for service nt this term of
court was exhausted and a special venire of
fifty more Jurors has been drawn. These
will not report for duty until Monday room
ing and theiefoio the case was continued
until that time.
So much progress was made In getting a
jury ycstcrd-y , 'however , that after the ex
amination of some llfty jurors , twelve \\ero
passed for cause and 'were conditionally
seated In the jury hot. Three of these wcro
excused on pciumptory challenges by the
defense und after some hunting about the
corridors of the court house thrcu moro ju
rors were found to take their places. When
tinxtntc excused one of the jury on its first
peremptory challenge , however , there was
iiiino totakti hit * place and therefore tliu
recess until Mondiy morning was taken.
Consequently eleven men are left on the Jtry.
It IH questionable aow many of thcso will bo
retained , Blnco tha defeiwo still has thirteen
and the state live peremptory challenges
left. '
The case Is beginning t'J ' attract 101110 at
tention , Yesterday afternoon a considerable
crowd of spectators gathered In thu court
"room to listen to the proceedings , the num
ber being so great th-lt the seats were In-
suhlclent to accommodate them and s mo
ttood about aga'nst tbo nails.
At the adjournment at noon eight men
were In the jury bnx who had been passed
for muse. It Is not at all certain that any
one of { hesa 'will bo on the jury that Is
finally sworn In , No reason could ba d.scov-
troJ for excusing them for cause , but It Is
euro 'that some of thorn will go on peremp
tory challenges by cither sMte or defense.
The defense has sixteen peremptory chal
lenges and the state six. In view of the pos
sibility that the present panel of seventy
jurors who are In service will not suffice
to furnUh the jury a special venire of fifty
has been drawn. Thou are to report for
service on Monday morning.
Thursday two of the jurymen who had
ibcen retained became. Ill , the sickness being ,
however , not serious. Ono ot tbo two , Cliff
Itouzor , was excused from service on the
challenge of ( he dcfenso. The other , J. I ) ,
Gilbert , still remains on the jury , us it Is not
believed that his Illness Is of such a nature
as to Incapacitate him from standing the
strain of the trial.
\Vheu court convened this morning the de
' fense resumtxl the examination of the jury
and proceeded to further decimate the men
who bad been no far selected.
Acquaintance with Officer Tledcmeu was
considered sufficient reason for the excuse
of Juror Cllf Uouzer , He had been a member
of ( be police force and bad formed a friend
ship for Tledeiuan. "I should try to do so ,
but I fvar that I could not lay tilde my
friendship for Dan Tlcdemen and that It
would affect my vprdlct , " lie said. Ho w&s
zcused.
' Tobacco suioV , ! hardship and 1 * In
jurious to me and most jurors smoke In the
jury room , " was the only reason advanced
by Juror II. E. Llvcsey to Indicate his Incom-
petency to serve. This was considered In-
EUUlclcnt and slnco hoas without opinion
ho wa.s retained.
J. D. Gilbert and Charles Mortenson satis
factorily passed through the questioning and
wcro allowed to remain on the Jury. With
them the examination of the defense was com.
plctcd nnd five jurymen were left In the
box. The jury box was again filled by the
calling of seven additional men and these
were then examined by the state.
John It. Cox proved to bo both without
opinion and with scruples regarding capital
punishment and was retained. He Is a
metal worker residing at 1614 South Elgl h
street , and has been a resident of the
county for twenty-seven years. Ho Is G5
years of age.
Gcorgo Lodge of CIS South Sixteenth street
proved to be tatlsfactory to the state. He Is
a stationary engineer.
T. C. Hlch of CIS South Sixteenth street ,
also had an opinion , but he wus allowed by
the state to remain. He was challenged by
the defense and was excused. The defense
found no reason for sending any of the
others out of the box and when a recess
was taken at noon , eight men had been
passed by both state and defense for cause.
IIOX FILLED AGAIN.
When the court reconvened In the after
noon the jury box was filled with four oiUll-
j tloml jurors. With one exception , Hcwy S.
Koblnson of Sixth and Pierce streets , they
! wcro passed for cause by both dcfmse and
, stato. Robinson said tt'at the fact that a
cliarge was preferred against the defendant
jvrejiidlced him and ho could not therefore
presume the defendant's Innocence. He nas
excused. /
The three who passed the examination sat-
Isfurtorltly were R , W. Putney , a farmer
residing at Thirty-seventh and Fort streets :
; H. M. Hunter , a farmer of Elkhorn , nnd Itoli-
I crt Pioctor , a < arpenter living at 'JCO North
Twenty-fifth avenub. In Roblnsan'.s place
Edward Jackson of 3J9'/2 South Tenth street
was called and proved to bo without scruples
against capital punishment and without opin
ion. He v\as accepted. "
7tie Jury box was now filled with twelve
mon and both state ind dcfccieu passed them
for cause. Judge Slabaugh announced that
tire defense will bo allowed sixteen and the
state six peremptory challenges. On Hn flr.st
challenge the dfcfeiuo excused R. W. Putnoy.
In his pluco Heiu-y Pomy of 1121 South Tenth
street was accepted. Oil their nn.\t two chal
lenges the defense excused H. E. Llve.sey and
J. L. Loyd. To .replace them William M.
Inge , a lineman living at 4274 Patrick avenue ,
and Henry Owen , a packing Inuso employe
redldlng at Twenty-flmt and Durt streets ,
were called and retained ,
On its first peremptory challenge the state
excused Henry Pomy. It wa.i dlscovctvJ that
the pine ) of jurors was exhausted. Adjourn
ment was therefore taken until Monday
morning , when tb * special venire of fifty will
be available. InMhe meantime the eleven
men who so far ( { ompose the Jury will be In
a bailiff's charge , " The eleven men are ; II ,
M. Hunter , J. D. Gilbert , Chris Mcc-tenscn ,
John II. Cox , John P. Klmberly. William M.
Inge , George Lodge , Edward Jackson. Robert
Proctor , Henry Ow'en end James II. Green.

I'anrl * .
Owing to the fact piat twelve of the Jurcrs
are tied up Ui the ruse of the State against
the bondsmen of fj. S. Hartley , ox-state
treasurer , and also that the balance of tile
Jurors called for tbo first three weeks of the
present term ore being called In ( be cnt > o ol
the Slate against Kastner , the law caurts
have been unable to do little business. Now ,
however , as the regular panel has been ex
hausted In criminal v.ork , this gives the other
judges an opportunity to get to work and the
chances are that it will not be long until ttie
fegular work of the term will begin In
earnest.
The equity courts are starting in and ths
judges are- preparing to get down to work.
Most of the preliminary buslnecs has been
disposed of and trials will soon begin.
In equity court the Phllbln-Kltchen Injunc
tion case has been disposed of. Phllbln occu
pies a room In the building owned by the
kitchens. The defendants startpd In to close
up an entrance that leads from the office to
the lobby. Phllbln sought to stop this by In
junction proceedings. After hearing the tes
timony the Injunction was denied and Phil-
bin was given two weeks In which to fllo on
amended petition.
The case ot the Kitchen Brothers' Hotel
ccmpany against John D. Carver and the
other hackmen of the city has been passed
on and a restraining order has been granted ,
to remain In force until the case can como up
on final hearing , which will be In a day or
two. In this case the plaintiff sought to
prevent the hackmen of the city from stand
ing about the Paxton hotel , maintaining that
they being there created a nuisance and in
jured the business of the hotel.
The Commonwealth Real Estate company
Is having another legal round with William
Snyder , who occupies the one-story buildings
at Fourteenth and Harncy streets. The com
pany ban now gene Into the county court
and has asked for a writ In ejectment , alleg
ing that Snyder holds possession of Us
property and refuses to vacate , Snyder ad
mits that ho holds possession , but maintains
that It Is under the terms of a lease that
allows him to remain so long as ho pays his
rent.
In the case of Herman Rciter against
Johanna Reitcr , the plaintiff has filed a
pleading In which ho asks to be released
from the payment of alimony , ordered by
the court some weeks ago and At the same
time divorce proceedings were Instituted. In
filing this pleading , Reitcr allegeH that the
alimony was granted for the reason that at
that time his wife was the custqdlan of the
four children. Now he says that the care
of the children has been transferred" to him
and that there Is no reason why he should
contribute to the support of hlo.wlfo.
Georgia Shepard has appeared In court and
has withdrawn her claim for alimony In tbo
divorce case that she Instituted against her
husband , Charles Shepard.

The continued accumulation of slush and
refuse on the streets and sidewalks of the
city promises to cause a general protest on
the part of property 'owners and business
men that may Induce'the council to bo some
what more liberal ln'lts appropriations for
the Board of 1'ubllc , Works. , While there
has been no definite expression of an inten
tion to change the present policy there Is a
good deal of talk to'the effect that some
provision must bo madej for keeping the
streets parsable. So far this has not taken
the form of a proposition to make un
adequate appropriation for that purpose , but
It Is noticeable that some of the councilmen
are beginning to favor some action along
that lino.
The plans that had been made by City
Enghieer Hosowatervero nipped In the
hud last month by a& resolution adopted by
the council by which the Hoard of Public
Works was Instructed not to do any work
whatever on the BtrCQts without explicit
Instructions from the 'mayor and council.
This was followed a week ago by a resolu
tion by which the expenditures of the board
during February were limited to $500. As
tbo council has already instructed the beard
to have the Florence bicycle path clndc cd ,
the appropriation left practically nothing
with whltluto carry on general street work.
The Immediate discharge of nearly every
employe ot the department was necessary
and this cut off a number'of men who had
been put on at the solicitation of councilmen -
men whom they had befriended In a political
way. This develQpmentilias also operated
to Induce some , of the council men to discover
that the economy demfnded might cut
'both ways. They called on the city engineer
to register an emphatic'protest ' , but there
they wore confronted wUU the proposition
"no money no 'work" and there the matter
stands , '
WHAT COtWCILiJli1 BELIEVE.
The councilmen who doctare for tbo clos
est economy In street ) wok con tend that suUi
action Is absolutely -neccfeary If the llmltn
of the present levy "are to , bo maintained.
Councilman Dccuel Is one of them , and he
says that the action of the council was In no
way Intended as a roflcrjlon : > on any official or
derartment. Ho nays tfcat for the first tlmo
In a good mauy ycsrs tha finances of the city
have been placej on a sound basis , All old
obligations are taken c ra5t.by ttie refund
ing bonds and It restai ' .with the council
whcttu ? the expenditure iliall bo maintained
wltdln the limit of the' Jevy. "I realize an
well as onyona else , " continued Mr , Hecticl ,
"that more money thct | ho * been appropri
ated could be advantageously expended In
street cleaning , but libeller ? that having
made a levy tha expenditures ot tbo city
ihould be rigidly confiu A ( p that limit. We
bavu liad trouble vnaugn otacwunt , of over-
la pa , tnil I * do not propoic that we ehall
finish the year with a ilcMdt by my vote. I
Lellevo that by saving the bulk of the street
cleaning fund until toward ttie time for the
opening of the exposition we can manage to
get along , although we might not be able to
do all that wo would like to do. No one
doubts that Mr. Rosewater will get a value
received for every dollar that la expended on
the streetB , but the question before the coun
cil Is how much we can afford to spend. "
Some of the councilmen say that they ace
In favor of giving the streets one thorough
cleaning as early In ttie spring as Is prac
ticable and letting that answer until May. It
Is estimated , however , that It would cost in
the vicinity of $8,000 to put the streets In a
presentable condition and this would cut a
hole In the ? 23,000 appropriation that woold
leave a balance ridiculously Inadequate for
maintaining clean atceets through the season.
How the council proposes to reconcile the two
propositions of having clean streets end not
spending more than the appropriation re
mains to be seen.

It will bo just eighty-nine yearn today
slnco Abraham Lincoln was born In a hum-
bio Kentucky cabin , and yesterday tbo an
niversary was celebrated In nearly every pub
lic school in the United states. The exer
cises were held In the Omaha schools jester-
day afternoon and In every building a more
or ICES elaborate program bad been prepared.
As the subject of the day was the same In all
schools , there was more tr lets similarity In
the exercises. For Instance , ttiere was ararcoly
.1 school where extracts from Lincoln's '
famous Gettysburg .speech did not form a
feature of the program and essaya or readIngs - .
Ings containing 4 > rlof sketches of the life of
the sixteenth president are equally utilized. In
most of the Omaha schools the program fol
lows very closely that outlined by State
Superintendent Jackson In h s bulletin ,
which was published in The Dee , although
In some Instances the teachers have Intro
duced such special features as have been
suggested by Individual Ideas. The pro
grams are varied by singing patriotic songs
and In some casca the pupils have been en
couraged to collect cuts and engravings il
lustrative of events In Lincoln's life , which
have been tastefully bestowed on the walls
of the rooms.

not willing to take the entire Issue. As
provided by the ordinance the bonds will
run for twenty years at 4 per cent. They

After giving bond for licr appearance In
