FALLS CITY , Neb. , March 21. ( Special.
A number of local republicans have been
Interviewed on the Bartley rehearing. They
say :
W. W. Abbey Bartley Is guilty and ough
to be punished. The fact that a rehearing
Is ordered does not go to show that then.
will bo any change In the final decision o
the court.
Judge Isham Reavls The question In thi
Bartley case Is not political , but judicial ant
It seems an tr.sult to the reviewing court to
poll the country on the subject of the prob
able political effect the granting of a rear
gument of the case may have. As long as
there is a lingering doubt in the mind o
the court or any member of It that thi
defendant has had the kind of trial the con
stltutlco guarantees to him the case should
bo reheard and the judgment removed. This
man should be tried by the law and the facts
and not by senseless clamor , though every
party In existence be wrecked In the process
What is most needed la a few Bushrot
Washlngtons on the bench who are bravi
enough to declare the law in the face o
the mob without reference to consequences
From what I know of the record In this casi
I do not believe the district court of Douglas
county had jurisdiction to try It , and from
what I know of the Indictment and the evl
dence adduced to support It , I am clearl ;
of opinion the offense charged has not
been proved. A man cannot be indicted for
stealing or embezzling $100 and be lawfully
convicted of the charge by proving that ho
stole or embezzled an article worth ? 100
That or something exactly analogous was
dcao In the Hartley prcsecutlon. If he em
bezzled the state warrant he did It In. . Lin
co'a and not In Omaha and the Lancaster
court alone had jurisdiction of the offense
But let the court discharge Its duty wlthou
menace or offensive Interference by Irre
sponslble parties.
D. P. Brarnln I think Bartley la guilty
and ought to be punished.
C. F. Reavls Criminal law Is man's con
fesslon of weakness. If human kind wer
capable of rising superior to temptation i
would no longer be necessary to provld
arbitrary punishments for voluntary wrong
Around every man charged .with . an offense
the law resolves all the presumptions of
innocence and such presumptions remain with
him until the final determination of his
cause. If there are elements In the Bartley
case which require a more careful consid
eration than have been given , and I think
there are many , an order for a rehearing
of the cause Is not only proper but manda
tory. As to the political significance of
such an order , I have nothing to say , be
lieving that the question of expediency is
wholly out of place where tbo main con
sideration Is one of right. On ? of the funda
mentals of the republican party Is equal and
exact justice to all men , and that principle
should be maintained In the face of any
condition , present or prospective.
OOLUMflLU 'Neb. ' , March 21. To the Ed
itor of The Bee : In your Issue of Sunday ,
the 20th lust. , I dm quoted as being In
favor of the granting of a rehearing In the
Bartley case. This I wish to correct , as I
think the decision Is just and should stand.
Your correspondent struck me at a time
when I was very busy and I had not seen
the decision of the supreme court. I thought
ho "had reference to the case of the bonds
men , Your * respectfully , J. H. GALLEY.

Finishing Touches on the North End
Bicycle Route ,
COUNTY TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION
Wheelmen to lluve n Xloe Cinder
lloail AVIthlii Two WeekN
County ( a Try ( lie
Klirlil-llour IMnu.
Inside of two weeks the bicycle path be
tween thle city and Florence will be com
pleted and ready for the UEO of the wheel
men. The plan of having such a path was
conceived some months ago and a large
amount of work was performed last summer ,
the county appropriating money to carry ou
the Improvement. When cold weather came
on last fall work was stopped. I ast month
the city put on a coat of cinders und now
a number of men and teams aie at work
for the county.
The Omaha-Florence path follows Norlh
Thirtieth street from the north limits of
the city , terminating at the south limits of
Florence. The path ie twelve feet wide and
lu covered with cinders to a width of eight
feet. These cinders are rolled Into the hard
earth , making a wearing surface as smooth
as a table and as hard as a pavement.
The work tl H Is being done on the bi
cycle path at this time is under the pro
visions of the eight-hour resolution adopted
by the county commissioners some four
weeks ago. At that time Chairman Kler-
stead of the Doard of County Commissioners
offered the resolution , providing "that here
after all men employed by the county shall
bo employed and shall work on the basta
of an eight-hour day. "
In speaking of the eight hour plan , Chair
man Klerstead said , when discussing the
work on the blcyclo path : "I am of the
opinion that this plan will give the best
kind of satisfaction and I also believe that
wo will get better results than we would
by working the men ten hours per day. In
nearly all of the trades eight hours consti
tutes a day's labor and there Is no reasoti
why it should not with men employed by
the county. The Florence path Is the fimt
place where we have tried the plan , but It
will not be the last , aswe , propose from this
on to have an eight-hour day for every man
who works for the county. The commis
sioners are united upon this proposition and
I am of the opinion that it is a custom that
has eomo to stay. "
JACKSON GETS INTO FIXE FORM.
XcvcrtheIe N Oddw In IlcltliiK Fnvor
Jeffrie * .
SAN FRANCISCO , March 21. A gre.it deal
of Interest Is being- manifested In the result
of the fight between Peter Jnckson nnd Jim
Jeffries , which will bo deckled nt Wood
ward's pavilion tomorrow night. Both men
have finished their work In preparing for the
contest , and from now untll4 they meet In
the ring will take mutters easy. Jackson
has undergone n fix weeks' preparation , and
much to the surprise of Ills many admirer * ,
he hna shown great form In the last week
or ten days. In fact , he has shown such ,
good form in his practice that those who
thought him a "tins been" are now laying
their money on him. He Is apparently trong
nnd as far as boxing Is concerned has lost
none of his cleverness or agility , still hav
ing1 those quick , peculiar blows that won
him so many battles. Jackson will welgl
about ins potiniK ire has taken off but tci
or fifteen pounds' .
A close observer of pugilists has this to
say of Jackson's chances. "There Is no
doubt that the contest depends upon Jack
son's vitality. If he can prove that , in his
case , all precedents concerning age and fast
living of pugilists do not apply to him , then
ho should prove the winner. I believe thai
Jackson mill endeavor to make the contesl
" - one. renll/lng that the Ipnger It lasted
.he bettor it iT.-flf bo for Jeffries. However ,
f Jeffries deckles * U > iV"1 ! IU' " * > he will
find In Jackson a dttftnslve lighter , wh'6 has
no equal among * ' the.beavyv.-olRbts. am *
whle | Jeffries may rougJvlt ; a little , he wll
not rush n. la 8harki y. ' ji < ,
"Youth nnd strength are the two prlnclpa
aids that Jim Jeffries will have on. hid side ,
His youth and strength will be pitted against
the science of Jackson nnd the result has
generally been that youth counts more than
\ \nythlng- pugilistic encounters , where
joth men are more or less experienced. Jef
fries has a trifle the advantage In height and
seme in weight. He Is half an Inch taller
than Jackson , measuring six feet , one inch ,
nnd weighs more by about twenty pound ? .
Ho will enter the ring at 215 pounds. All
considered , it twill bo a contest between two
of the largest men In the pugilistic world
today , nnd has been very aptly styled 'the
battle of the giants. ' "
The betting favors Jeffries at 10 to 8 , wltli
the prospects of > the odds evening1 up by
Tuesday night.
