QUESTION OF JURISDICTION
Interesting Question Arises with Reference
to the Police Courts ,
CAUSED BY JUDGE AYLESWORTH'S ' ACTION
Ilrforo I.rnvluK for n Vncntloii Ho Ar-
iRCH In Have Vlen nuil Ker-
rlcr Prr lu > for the Si
of n. Week l nuh.
Before leaving for California Judge Aylcs-
worth made arrangements whereby Justice
Vlen should preside over the police court
for the first week of his absence and Jus
tice Ferrlcr for the wcond week. This nr-
rangcraent has raised ( lie question of Jus-
'
tire Ferrier's Jurisdiction and It Is contended
that If the strict letter of the law Is fol
lowed Justice Vlen alone has the right to
preside over the police court In the ab
sence of the judge.
Section 691 of the code provides that If
the Judge of the superior or police court
Is absent or unable to act tlio nearest jus
tice of the peace shall have jurisdiction
nnd hold his court In criminal proceedings
nnd receive the statutory fers to be paid by
the city or county as the case may bo.
Assistant County Attorney Klmball , whoso
duty It Is to attend to all state cases in
the superior and Justice courts , holds that
In the face of this section of the cede Jus
tice Vlen , who Is tlio nearest justice of the
peace , alone can lawfully fill Judge Aylcs-
worth'n place during the latter's absence
from the city.
In section 260 of the cede It Is provided
that in the absence of the Judge of the po
lice court or In case of his Inability to act ,
tlien , during euch time , proceedings for the
violation of city ordinances may be had be
fore a justice of the peace residing in the
city. This section , It will bo seen , does not
as the oilier hereinbefore quoted , specifically
provide that the justice shall be the near
est , but says a justice residing in the city.
This Justice Ferrier contends , gives , him
jurisdiction to preside In police court and
act In cases where a violation of any city
ordinance Is involved , but he Is doubtful
If it gives him Jurisdiction In criminal pro
ceedings brought In the name of the state.
Any difficulty In the question of Jurisdic
tion , however , Justice Ferrier says , can
easily be overcome by having all Informa
tions In criminal proceedings filed before
him in his capacity as a justice of the peace
and not In the superior court. This way
ho would not bo presiding as Judge of the
superior court but as a Justice of the pence.
The question of jurisdiction that has
arisen Is an Interesting one , as It Is con
tended that parties arrested for petty
offenses might raise the question of Jus
tice Farrier's right to pass sentence on
them. According to the present arrange
ment Justice Ferrier will preside over the
destinies of the police court commencing
next Monday morning for a week.
When asked about the matter Justice Vicn
said he hivcl no Intention to dispute the
arrangement made by Judge Aylcsworth , al
though he believed that under section 691
of the code , he alone being tbe nearest
justice of the peace , was entitled to fill
Judge Aylesworth's plnce on the bench dur
ing bis absence from tbe city. He thought
it was possible that Justice Ferrler's actIng -
Ing in the capacity of police judge might
lead to complications.

KeninliiR of Mnu Found In "WccilK
Arc CoiiNlKneil to .Mother Knrth.
For a while yesterday morning It was
thuoght possible that the body found
Wednesday evening in a badly decomposed
condition near the Northwestern railway
tracks , about two miles north of the city ,
was that of William Avery , who disappeared
May 13 from his home , seventeen miles
north of Omaha , near Coffman station , and
who had not since been heard of. J. C.
Root , living five miles north of Omaha , read
the account of the finding of the body In the
papers and called at Lunkley'cs undertaking
rooms yesterday morning while the Inquest
was In progress. Owing to the decomposed
condition of the body Root was unable to
positively Identify It as that of his missing
brother-in-law , but was of the opinion that
the hat and suspenders were those that bad
been worn by Avcry at the time ho left
home. C. S. Avery , n brother of William
Avery , the missing man , was sent for nnd
on his arrlvol he said bo was positive the
body was not that of his brother. Ho
formed his conclusion from the shape of the
skull. The features were not recognizable.
The Jury , In the absence of any evidence
that would throw any light upon the case ,
brought In a verdict to the effect that the
man cnmc to his death by means unknown
to the Jury. The 'body ' was burled at the
close of the Inquest.
Another nnd more thorough search of the
clothing was made yesterday morning by
Coroner Troynor , but there was nothing
that would lead to the Identification of the
corpse. In one of the pockets a knife , pipe
and plug of twist tobacco were found. It
as decided that the body was that of a
white man nnd not a negro , ns had bren
the opinion Wednesday night , The decom
posed state of the body made It Impossible
to tell whether the man had been run over
by a train or whether death was duo to
other causes. Coroner Treynor said It was
possible that the man might have been mur
dered by tramps.

J. W. Squire commenced suit In the dis
trict court yesterday against the city to
have a largo tract of land containing up
ward of sixty acres in the northwestern
portion of the city relieved from tbe bur
den of city taxes. In support of his pe
tition Squire contends that the property
in question has never been laid out or
platted and that It Is remote from the
residence portion of the city , having no
street or alley extending to It except the
ordinary public highway ; that It docs not
have the advantage of the city water supply
nor the benefit of police or flro protection
and that It derives no benefit from the city
local government. For these reasons the
plaintiff contend ! ) that the property should
not be subject to taxation for city pur
poses.
Hope for l.nne' * Itelnntnteinent.
The friends of John M. Lane are hopeful
that he will be reinstated to his former po
sition hero as freight ar > ticket agent of
the Milwaukee road. A petition asking his
reinstatement was signed yesterday by al
most every business and professional man
In the city. Mr. Lane reft last evening for
Ch'ctigo , taking the petition with him , nnd
It Is presumed the money with which to
make good the shortage found In his ac
counts. Auditor Robertson Is still in the
city , but is expecting the company to send
a man any moment to take charge of the
office here , While ho lid not , of course ,
know what view the e/Hlclals of the road
. would take of the matter , Mr. Robertson ,
I ' wj-cn seen last evening , held out very little
hcpe.i for Lane's reinstatement. H. L. Ocd-
di'B , the bonding compmy's agent , has re
turned to Chicago. 1 hr result of his confcr-
cnio with Uino's .attorneys was not made
public , but It is understood Mr. Gcddcs was
assured that the guarantee company would
not lose a dollar In the mutter.
Stilt * Aornlimt Implement Compnnle * .
The Union Harrow company commenced
two suits yesterday In the United States
circuit court here against implement com
panies which It accused of Infringing Its pat
ents. The Sterling- Manufacturing company
is made defendant In ono suit and Is charged
with infringing the plaintiff's patent on a
disc harrow. Thor second suit is against the
Grand Do Tour Plow company , which the
Union Harrow company accuses of Infringing
its patent on a wheel harrow. No specific
amount of damages is asked for In either
suit , but the amount is left to the court.
The Union Harrow company modestly asks
that both defendant companies bo made to
pay the full value of all the machines they
have manufactured under the alleged In
fringement of the patents.

A question has arisen over the state re
garding the poll 'tax of soldiers who en-
llstod In the recent war. In snmo places
It has been held that a soldier of the Span

work poll tax ; other localities have held
that ho did. It has also been claimed thai
some of the soldiers were members of the
Iowa National guard before enlisting nnf ,
that this alone -would place them on the ex
emption list. Adjutant General Dyers today
ruled that no soldier enlisted for war or
who served as a member of the guard before
enlisting is exempt from poll tax , unless
he has Joined the Iowa National guard since
the reorganization. It Is held that all sol
diers were mustered out o the state and
United States service.

AUTO.MOHILI3 J1AII , CAIIIMKIIS.
TrlulH Coiulucteil by
the roMtimiMtcr t Buffalo.
Postmaster Dorr of Buffalo has been ex
perimenting with an automobile in the local
postal service iml has met with encourag
ing results. ( rials of the new vehicle
seem to dcr c .irate that much time can
ho saved by th ° use of automobiles In col
lecting the mulls. In largo cities. In the
first trial the mall was collected from forty
boxes on a route eighteen miles long in nn
.hour and thirty minutes. The usual time
with horse and wagon Is over three hours.
In ono of the later tests a. route of fifteen
miles , with fifty-four boxes , was covered
In ninety minutes. Probably the saving of
tlmo In those cases , says the Chicago Trih-
uno , was partly duo to the dcslro to make
a record , but It seems reasonable that nn
automobile should travel over a long route
more quickly than a horso. The now ve
hicles should bo especially valuable In col
lecting and distributing the mall In the
residence districts and outskirts of a great
city , where the distances to be traveled are
the chief element of the problem. The
Postal department has demonstrated In Chicago
cage and other cities that the street railways -

lie- Merely lliul to Til IU Illinium * with
Her rut her.
Ho was a bright young chap , relates the
Washington Star , and well worthy of regard ,
even If the father of "the dearest object
on earth" to him , who , by the way , Is a
succe&aful insurance man , did think he wag
inane , Inactive and Ineligible. The girl
didn't think as her father did , which was
a deal of consolation In a tlmo llko that ,
and the two young things often talked
over the paternal opinion , and sat up many
evenings devising ways and means to secure
a reversal of judgment. The youngman ,
of course , never eaw the father on the sub
ject , but the girl was brave , and whenever
them was an opportunity she put In a plea
for the defense. At the last talk the father
bad told his daughter that the young roan
"never would set the world on fire , " and
ehe reported this along with other remarks

to the young man. Some days later the
girl had another chance to argue for the
defense.
"Papa , " she sold , when the opportunity
offered , "I told Harry what you said about
him the other evening. "
"I hope you did , my dear , " he answered ,
In a tone which conveyed the Idea that ho
meant it.
"But I mean that particular thing you
said that ho never would set the world on
fire. "
"I fupposo he thought , and no doubt sold ,
I was mistaken , didn't he ? " said tbe father ,
with cutting sarcasm.
"No , papa , ho did not. "
"Indeed , " he responded In astonishment.
"I'm surprised that ho dlxl not assure you
that ho would do so as soon as bo got the
chance. That is what his kind always do. "
"Harry did not. He said that your mak
ing such a remark showed how poor your
Judgment was. "
"Well , that's the same thing , only drawIng -
Ing It a little milder. ' , '
"No , I think not , papa , " she continued ,
"for Harry went on to say that you did
not show ordinary business sense In offerIng -
Ing his Inability to set the wdrld on fire ns
an objection to him. "
"Did that young snip say that of me ? "
said the father , growing red and warm ,
"and you , my daughter , listened to it ? "
"Yes , papa , " she replied , gently , "foi
Harry said If ho did set the world on fire
every insurance company In existence would
bo wiped out and you wouldn't have money
enough left to buy a newspaper to read
tbe report of the conflagration. "
It was a full minute before the father
spoke ngaln.
"Urn or cr , " ho hesitated , "suppose you
send that young man around to my office
tomorrow at 10 o'clock , will you ? "

Why KoIUH IIId Not Xeetl Vncntlonn In
Those DIIVN.
George S. Boutwell , ex-governor and ex-
senator , writes to the Boston Globe :
"Thero Is very good reason why people
need more vacation now than In the past.
Today the hours of labor for the average
mechanic may bo very much less than
formerly , but the kind of labor that ho per
forms Is greatly more exacting and wearing
than the work of a mechanic was fifty years
ago. A man laboring In n shop or a fac
tory or on the farm today must do every
thing with greater care nnd skill. If ho
works only eight hours a day the work Is
steady and uninterrupted , and It demands
an expenditure of considerable Intellectual
effort.
"When I was n hey a farm hand , for ex
ample , went about his tasks leisurely ,
stopped to talk and to rest frequently dur
ing the day , and insisted on nn occasional
draft of rum. His hours of labor may have
> ccn from sunup to sundown , but his nc-
tuaf time of labor was much less than that
of a farm hand today. Fifty jears ago it
was the same In every other kind of occupa
tion. A mechanic went about his work
without any sense of hurry. Nobody seemed
: o hurry in those days. The business man
ind foncr cares and lighter responsibilities ,
micro was seldom a rush about anything ,
because the facilities for rushing were not
EO numerous as they are today. There were
no railroads when I was a boy , no tele
graph , no telephone , no six-day ocean steam
ers. Everything necessarily was on a slower
scale. Men's nerves were not constantly
straining , and the anxieties of a week were
not so great as tbe anxieties of a day are
now ,
"This was tine also of the professions.
The clergyman had to preach twice on Sun
day , but the kind of sermon that waa ex-
ptcted of him did not involve close study
if contemporary affairs. During the week
he did practically as ho liked. The cfcrgy-
nan today has Innumerable demands on hlu
.Ime nnd energy , with all kinds of chari
table and philanthropic and quasi-clerical
projects and organizations. Ho must bo a
man of active affairs.
"Sixty years ago the lawyers had nn In
finitely narrower field , People went to law
about a strip of land or a title to a piece
of property. Today the lawyers handfe
cases Involving the 'most Intricate commer
cial complications and engage In the settle
ment of disputes over millions of dollars ,
There were no patent cases half a century
ago , and today there are thousands , and
the lawyers who handle them must be good
mechanics as well as learned in the law.
So It is true of every profession und al
most every occupation today. A man works
harder and longer and has greater anxiety
and heavier responslblHty.
"I believe that vacations save many lives
They are very necessary , because the life
that wo lead drains tbe system of its
strength and tbe machine must stop for
rest and repair or break donn.
