JUDGE GORDON'S ' IRE ROUSES
Declares He Will Maintain the Dignity of
His Position.
ONE PRACTICE OF THE POLICE MUST STOP
Court' * Order * Will He Obeyed or
the Olfeudlnn Olllcern Will
Feel the Penalty for
Contempt.
Warning was given to the ranking officers
cf the police department and all others In
authority by Judge Oordon yesterday morning
( bat once and for all' time they must cease
to Ignore hla orders relathc to tbo control
of prisoners In the city jail. Failure In the
future to recognize hU authority ao police
magistrate will bo cause for contempt pro
ceedings against recalcitrant officers , which
be promises will be set ere.
The trouble which brought out this an
nouncement was the refusal ot Captain
Haze Thursday to release a prisoner charged
'with drunkenness on an order issued by the
police Judge. Captain Hai 's position w s
that oo charge had been filed against the
man and tbat until a cpeclSed charged U
booked the police court ha * no Jurisdiction
over any prloonsr In the city jail. In taking
( hla position th capUla aplalceJ to the
attorney who presented Judge Gordon's or
der lliat It was done under Instructions from
Chief of Police Gallagher , who has estab
lished the rule that until soms charge li
regl-flered against persons placed under ar
rest they are under the absolute jurisdiction
of the police.
Judge Gordcn declares that the position of
the chief of police Is absurd and will not
bo tolerated. There Is no law to sustain
the department to such an extraordinary
proceeding. He cites the fact tbat the police
have never dared to releafo a pereon un
der arrest -without bis having first been
brought Into police court , no matter 1C the
prisoner Is only ' 'detained" as a suspicious
character or even as a witness. Further
more , In the InM&nce of prisoners hcM as
fugitives from Justice or for the United
States authorise , the police do not dare
to uiurp the legal process ot police court Ir.
delivering over such prisoners , even should
there be no charge reglst6jed against them.
Judge Gordon's position Is that e\ery police
officer of the city U also an officer ot his
court and being such he Is expected and
by law required to obey to the letter every
mandate and order Issued with regard to all
prisoners , no nutter under what conditions
they hate been arrested anl held. He sajn
the position of the police U not only ab
surd , but silly , and lie does not purpose to
tolerate another refusal on the part of any
officer to comply \\tth an order of tils court
ad to prisoners In the city jail.

Walter J. Kenney Is under arrest at Perry ,
la. , and Officer Dempsey has left with requi
sition papers to bring him back to Omaha
for trial on a charge of burglary.
t
V.'hen Kenney came to , Omaha about two
months ago be took a roo'm at 1C26 WIrt
street , where William C. Gould had apart
ments directly across thevhall. The latter
Is employed at the exposition grounds and
Kenney , who Is a stationary engineer , made
his acquaintance and told htm that he also
Intended to co to work there. On Sunday ,
April 10 , Gould was compelled to work , and
\\ben ho returned home In the evening he
found that Kenney had disappeared , taking
with him every bit of clothing that Gpuld
bad | n his own room. Kenney forced the
door to gain entrance , and made a clean
sweep of everything In the room. The mat
ter was reported to the police , and they
learned that possibly Kenney had gene to
Wausau. Wls , where he has relatives. The
authorities of that place were asked to been
on the lookout for him , and they directed
Chief Gallagher to try and place Kenney at
Perry. A decoy letter was sent there to the
fugitive , and at the same time the marshal
of the place was asked to watch for ( he man
at the postoffice and apprehend him if he
should call for the letter. Kenney stepped
into the trap promptly and he was taken Into
custody. At the time of his arrest he was
wearing a suit of.clothes belonging to Gould
and nearly all ether property taken from
tbo latter's room has since been recovered j I
from him by the Perry police. | |

Nebraska nnd ) KSSBMII Celled On to
Feed the rent brain liaising
State of the [ ' Pacific ( or
The drouth In Call ornla Is responsible
for Increasing sblprae its of cereals from
Nebraska end Kansas to the Pacific coast
state.v The movement if grain to California
has not yet assume-Ray great proportions ,
but some big shipments are looked for by
the freight official ! of oil western lines
within the next1 thirty days. Reliable In
formation from the'raffle { officials of lines
In California receive * | net * is to the effect
that the demand for iy , corn and oats in
that atate will ooaihe'como so great that
large shipments froo' ( hl territory will be
demanded. ,
The freight agent of'one western line out
of Qmaba said to The' Hee : "I have just
received a letter from the freight depart
ment ot the Southern Taqlflc , advising me
that there will be a large quantity ot hay ,
corn , and eaU orderM from MUsourl river
points to California within the next thirty
days ; . He estimates that ninety cars will
bo ordered within thirty days and o\cr 300
cars within tbo next ninety days. Hay Is'
most badly needed , as there is said to be'
practically none at all In the state of Cali
fornia owing to the destruction of crops by
the drouth. Feed for the horses and other
animals is wanted at once. There Is a
good amount of hay In Nebraska to supply
this demand and there Is a still greater
quantity In Kansas , so that \vo bavo plenty
to ship out whenever the orders begin to
come In. I do not believe it Is over-stating
the crop of Kansas to say that there arc
mlllcns ) of tons of bay there now that can
be cipared. U U probable that a large amount
of corn will be sent from various points In
Nebraska to California soon. The move
ment of corn to the coast is now away
above the average. After hay and corn ,
oats are wanted , and the railroads
will be called on to haul much of this grain
soon. "

The Wabasa railroad is preparing to issue
a handsome little booklet advertising the
Transmlsslsslppl Exposition. It will be
printed on heavy book paper , and will be

The Union Pacific has just sent out several
thousand bird's-eye vlew of the exposition

In addition t its map of the United States

nnrllnftton'a Station \earlnff Comple
tion , but OpeuliiK- Delnjrcl.
The work of improvement about tbo twin
passenger stations at Tenth and Mason
streets goes on apace , On the big stone
structure of the Burlington the workmen
I are rapidly completing the tile roofing. Thereof
roof Is all on with the exception of that
over the colonnade at the west entrance.
The framea for the doors and the windows
on the north side bavo been put In place ,
and other frame work Is being rapidly put
l.i place. Tim steam pipes are all In place
Just below the floor of the basement , and
tbo connections mr.de with the power houne ,
which Is just under the rarnpo. This semi
circular driveway to lead down from the
main entrance to the baggage rooms Is
nearly complete , and shows the slope to bo
such a gradual one that driving up and
down will not be * as difficult as on the old
gang-woys. There Is still a great deal of
work to do about the Burlington's station ,
especially In Interior furnishings , and it is
considered doubtful that the railroad com
pany will be able to more into Its band-
some quarters before the opening of tbo
exposition , June 1.
About the Union Pacific's temporary frame
atructure workmen have been busily engaged
for the last few dajs spreading great
quantities of Sherman gravel between the
platformo end the tracks and between all the
tracko of the Union Pacific. This work has
been carried on not only In the front and
rear of tbo station , but the gravel has also
been laid between the Union Pacific tracks
from Tenth to Rlexcnth street. The work ;
greatly Improves the appearance of thef
station and yard. When rolled hard thof
gravel makes A durable platform , and to ( it-
great measure will prevent the dust that haa
heretofore been so disagreeably common at
the Union station , from filling the cycu an j
cars ot tlie exposition visitors.
The Burlington Is raising Its track *
through the elation. The tracks In the new
station will be about two feet higher than
formerly. The old tracks are torn up section
by section , the road-bed made over with slag
and coarse sand , and new ratio laid In placa
of tlie ones taken up.
