CAM:. IX THU CHIMINAL CO HUT.
A couple of Jurors kicked over the traces
in Judge Keysor's court yesterday by
refusing to sign an instructed verdict. It
was In the case of W. A. Kltiberger against
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad
company, in which the plaintiff sought to
recover tLMS for personal injuries.
Evidence introduced by the plaintiff
showed that he was one of a section crew
that had started out to work one morning
on a band car some distance ahead of a
freight train going in the same direction.
As the freight train appeared to be gaining
on the handcar Kitzberger became fearful
of an accident and Jumped from the car,
breaking his wrist by the consequent fall.
The other men brought the car to a stop
and picked it off the track when the freight
train was about a quarter ol a mile to the
rear, it was shown that Kitrberger and the
other men knew that they were traveling
ahead of the train and that the foreman did
not tell Kitrberger to Jump.
When the evidence for the plaintiff was
all in the attorney for the railroad com
pany asked the court to Instruct the Jury
to And a verdict for the defendant.
"Wherein was the railroad company
negligent In this case?" asked Judge Key
sor of the lawyer for Kltiberger.
"In sending the men out on a handcar
ahead of a freight train that put them In a
perilous position," answered the lawyer.
"But the men knew what they were do
ing," said the Judge, "and whatever -sk
they assumed was taken on theli own re
sponsibility." Judge Keysor then s&Id'to the Jury:
"Gentlemen, there Is no evidence In this
rase to sustain a verdict against the de
fendant, and you are therefore Instructed
to return a verdict for the defendant. One
of your number will sign the verdict as
foreman."
The paper was handed to George W.
Smith, the Juror nearest the Judge, and he
refused to sign It, and then It was passed
on to A. B. Harvey, who also declined to
assent to the instruction from the court.
Court Una III n,
"Gentlemen," said Judge Keysor, calmly,
"it makes little difference whether yoa
sign this verdict or not. If you should re
turn a verdict for the plaintiff I would set
it aside as being contrary to the evident
and the law."
Then Burton Rice, another of the Jurors,
closed the Incident by volunteering to sign
the verolct,
"The action of those two Jurors," re
marked the lawyer for the railroad to a
reporter, "is only a slight showing of what
the Jury system means to corporations."

report was circulated that the new direc
tors selected were Thomas T. Eckert and
Alvln W. Krelch of New York and Norman
B. Ream of Chicago. No denial of this re
port has been entered from official source
and the result is the belief that the In
formation Is correct.
"If the Vanderbllts bad gained control of
the Union Pacific, as has been reporled,"
said a Union Pacific man, "It stands
to reason that the new directors would
have been representatives of the Van
derbllt interests. Instead, all three of
these new directors are pronounced Harri
man men. Thomas T. Eckert, president
of the Western Union Telegraph company,
is closely associated with Mr. Harrlman,
and the relations between Mr. Ream and
Mr. Harrlman are equally close. Alvln W.
Krelch Is another pronounced Harrlman
man. As the board stands today there Is
but one out-and-out Vanderbllt representa
tive and that is Marvin Hughltt, president
of the Northwestern.
"I believe that the reported control of
the Union Pacific by the Vanderbilts lacks
foundation, and had Us origin In the un
settled and unexplatnable condition of the
stock market. Several days ago the an
nouncement came from apparently authori
tative sources that the Harrlman-Gould
Interests had control of r.5 per cent of
Union Pacific stock, and it Is asserted now
that subsequent dealings In Union Pacific
stock have been Independent of these hold
ings, which were held In reserve."
Alvln W. Krelch. one of the new direc
tors, is remembered by many of the rtll
road men of this city because of his con
nectlon with the company about eight years
ago. Mr. Krelch came to Omaha In 1S1J
and was connected with Judge Cornish's
office for a couple of years. He nude

W. H. Brill, district passenger agent of
the Illinois Central, returned yesteiday from
Buffalo, wnere ne accompanied a party of
passenger officials of bis line on a visit to
the Pan-American exposition. Mr. Brill Is
strong In praise of the Buflslo show and
believes that It will prove a magnet suffi
ciently strong to attract many western peo
pie to the east this summer,
"Like all other expositions," said Mr.
Brill, "the one at Buffalo Is still In an In
J complete state. Rapid prosren Is Ulig
made, however, and already the Indications
are that the buildings will all be finished
and the exhibits in place before the end of
the pretent month. The Pan-American is
sure to be a success. 1 do not look for a
big attendance fiom the west until the
latter part of the summer. By that time
the early attendants will have returned and
their verdict of approval Is certain to be ro
unanimous that their friends will be per
suaded into going to see for themselves.
"Mr. Hanson, our general pasenger agent,
conceived the idea that it would be a good
thing to take a party of representative
passenger men to Buffalo so that they could
see the exposition and be In position to
talk intelligently about It to prospective
visitors. We reached Buffalo In a special
car on the Michigan Central Monday morn
ins. During the entire day and evening
we were the guests of the exposition man
agement. We were shown the grounds and
buildings in the morning, and in the after
noon we went to Niagara Falls, descend
ing the gorge and pissing the rapids and
whirlpool, then crossing to the Canadian
sice. e returned to the grounds In
wood and other northwestern points at 9
o'clock In the evening. The new senics

to all Burlington points us far west as
AlllancA and will be of value to traveling
men and others, who can use a double dally
service through Nebraska to advantage.
evening ana a special illumination was ar
ranged for our benefit
"To my mind the features of the exposi
tion are the electrical effects and the color
scheme which has been employed in all
the buildings. Instead of being entirely
of white, the buildings are painted In differ
ent colors, soft tints predominating. The
colors are restful to the eye and present
a beautiful appearance. The electrical dis
play exceeds anything I ever saw. All" of
the lights are controlled by one switch and
Monday evening the grounds were shrouded
In darkness for bout three minutes, the
lights being turned oft In order to show the
contrast. The 'Midway' presented a fa

which made a hit at the Omaha exposition

Burlington officials do not anticipate,
