APPLAUSE IN COURT ROOM
Stirring Scenes at Close of Argument in
the Doyle-Burns Case.
DEFENSE HAS FACT NOTED ON RECORD
At Close of Argument Case Is Ad
journed for the Day and Court
Will Deliver Its Infrac
tions la the Morning,
Yesterday's session of the Doyle-Burns
case was replete with Incidents, the most
sensational of which occurred at the close
of Mr. Baldwin's argument in the after
noon. In his closing remarks Mr. Baldwin
took occasion to question the propriety of
Congressman Smith quoting from tha
scriptures at the close of his argument
when referring to Doyle's admission on
the witness stnnd that he had sorely re
pented of having committed perjury in
hie testimony In the Colorado suits. He
called attention to the fact that the trial
had commenced on Ash Wednesday and
continued nearly through the forty days
of Lent, and spoke in eloquent language
of the memorable events brought to mind
by the Lenfen season, saying:
I may be pardoned, gentlemen. If in' the
discussion of 'his case I have declined to
follow the example of the distinguished
counsel for the defense. I have dealt
seriously at all times with this case, be
cause It involves a serious and Important
matter. I have told you no stories. I
have Indulged In no anecdotes. The na
ture of the controversy forbids. This Is a
case which treats of wrongs and injuries,
and betrayals of confidence. I have not
sought to convert the holy scriptures into
an engine of ridicule or make them the
vehicle of any attempt on my part to
exhibit my poor wit for the purpose of
exciting your mirth or tickling tne ears
of the audience. The very reason itself
should forbid efforts of this kind.
Audience Applauds Plea.
As Mr. Baldwin ceased speaking the
court room was the scene of a demonstra
tion unheard of In the courts of this
county. The audience, whose feelings
evidently had been wrought to the high
est pitch by Mr. Baldwin's rem&prtst un
mindful of the place nr the iA-caslon,
spontaneously burst into applause.
Congressman Smith, as the applause sub
clded, rose tc his feet arkt requested that
the proceeding, which he characterised as
an Insult to both the court and the jury,
be entered In the record. ,
"I don't see how It could have been
prevented," said Judge ThornelL "It
happened that I had sent the court officer
out of the room on an errand."
In compliance, however, with the request
of counsel for the defense the court or
dered that the record show that at the
close of Mr. Baldwin's speech there was
applause while the ballff was in another
room getting the court's written instruc
tions to the Jury.
The incident was the subject of general
discussion, but it was generally, conceded
that the applause was a 'personal tribute
to Mr. Baldwin's eloquence and not In
tended as an expression by the audience
which packed the court room of approval
or sentiment in favor of Mr. Baldwin's
client.
. Some time was spent in the discussion
of Judge Thornell's proposed Instructions
to the jury. At the close of Mr. Baldwin's
argument, at the request of some of the
jurtors, who 813164 they were not feeling
well, the Jury was excused until this morn
ing, when it will be Instructed by the court
and the case given Into its hands.

BOARD HEARS THE MA1HAWA CASE
Attorney Fllcklnscr Presents Objec
tion to Street Vacation.
"There la no reason outside of pure sel
fishness on the part of the motor oompany
for the demand that these streets be va
cated," contended Attorney I. N. Fllck
Inger, who represented the protesting prop
erty owners . at the hearing before the
Board of County Supervisors yesterday
afternoon on the application of the street
railway company for the vacation of sev
eral streets and alleys traversing Its resort
at- Lake Manawa. The hearing was not
completed yesterday and the supervisors
will visit the lake this morning and per
sonally investigate conditions there. ...
Mr. Fllcklnger made a strong protest
against the vacation of the streets in con
troversy; insisting the value of the prop
erty of his clients depended on its ac
cessibility to the lake front His clients,
he said, had vested rights in these streets,
which the supreme court of the state had
only recently held they should not be de
prived of. He explained at length the his
tory of the litigation over these streets
and asked that the board remain passive
and not take any action In the matter un
til the question is settled by the courts.
His clients, he Informed the board, would
not abide by Judge McPherson's ruling and
were preparing to take the case up to the
United States court of appeals without de
lay. Denying the contention of the . motor
company that the closing of the streets
was essential to the proper conducting ot
the lake resort, Mr. Fllcklnger cited the
fact that Ingersoll park at Des Moines,
controlled by the street railway, and River
side park at Sioux City were not fenced in.
Mr. Fllcklnger accused Attorney Emmet
Tlnley, counsel for the motor company, of
using his position as a member of the
executive committee of the Commercial
club and as president of the Council Bluffs
Rowing association to invoke the aid of
these organizations In defeating the rights
of his clients.
As a reminder that Mr. Tinley had not
always considered the closing of these
streets essential to the motor company Mr,
Fllcklnger submitted a petition drawn by
Mr. Tlnley In August, 19TI. as attorney for
Charles R. Ilannan, one of the protestants
in the present rase, In which Mr. Tinley
asked for an injunction against the Subur
ban Street Railway company, then owners
of the resort, to restrain them from clos
ing certain of the streets now In' contro
versy. Mr. Fllcklnger occupied the greater part
of the afternoon In the presentation" of hut
clients' side of the case. Attorney F, W.
Miller was present a representing the in
tereets of a bank in Kentucky which re
cently attached the holdings at Manawa ot
Chrisman and Robards, two of the plain
tiffs In the suit against the motor com
pany. E. J. Gilbert and other property
owners at Manawa, who have taken no
part In the litigation heretofore, were pres
ent to protest against the vacation.
regularities In the mason work on the
administration building, which were such
as might be likely In any large building,
the work was entirely satisfactory.
IDIA CREEK OIT OF ITS BtXKS
Dredging; I nlet Ilrldaes Has Sot Im
proved Situation.
Following the heavy rain yesterday morn
ing Indian creek overflowed Its banks at
the Northwestern tracks, with the usual
result that Broadway and the adjacent ter
ritory was flooded. At 2 o'clock after the
heavy downpour of rain had subsided It
looked for a while as If the danger of the
creek breaking out of Its banks had passed,
but shortly before S o'clock In the after
noon the creek rose again and the low
bridges of the Northwestern acting as a
dam, the result was the usual overflow.
The overflow yesterday demonstrated that
tho recent dredging done by tho railroad
undir Its bridges at Eleventh street is In
sufficient to provide a waterway in times
of freshets, and Mayor' Macrae, who vis
ited the scene, stated that the city authori
ties would have to take steps to Induce the
railroad tp raise Its bridges.
Complaints received at the city hall yes
terday afternoon demonstrated that the
sewers had failed to work despite the large
amount of money expended In dredging
Indian creek. A number of the hill streets
were badly washed, and as usual a consid
erable portion of Ridge street wag washed
out. The bottoms were badly flooded, but
It Is expected they will be readily drained
by the system of ditches constructed last
summer under the direction of the city
engineer.
Inspect School for Deaf.

Relaying; of Rrondway Pnvlnsf.
At, the meeting of the city council next
Monday night the committee of the whole
will recommend that some action looking
toward the relaying of the granite paving
on Broadway between First street and the
Northwestern tracks be taken. It had been
suggested to relay the granite blocks on
their side after the ground had been thor
oughly rolled and leveled and then cover
them with a layer of asphalt. This plan,
however, it was stated yesterday, had been
abandoned as too costly and it is now pro
posed to relay the blocks and fill in the
crevices between them with asphalt. This
plan, It is believed, will to a great extent
do away with the noise of vehicle traffic
over the gn.'lte blocks. The matter, how
ever, wllV be further discussed' at a meeting
of the committee of the whole this evening.
It has been decided to put in new piling
under the south end of No. 3 engine house,
which backs, on Indian creek, and to paint
the roofs of the city hall and city jail.

court Wednesday to selling drugs without
a license. They were 11. Katakre, F. A.

Chnlupsky and August Miller. In each
case a fine of $10 and costs was Imposed.
The State Board of Pharmacy filed tha
complaints. 1
Mr. Kraus of Albright was very Indignant
at the prosecution.
"It seems to me the authorities ore very
anxious to cause trouble to respectable
cltlxens," he said. "The town is full of
burglars and robbers and they are not
molested, but as soon as a respectable man
slightly fractures the law, he Is arrested."
"You have broken the law and a fine
Is necessary," replied the court. "You
can consider yourself mighty lucky to get
off so lightly, as the penalty may run as
high as $100 fine, according to the discretion
of the court."

ter. There are three boys who are In
corrigible and who have broken their
word, given to Judge Day. that they would
behave themselves If left at liberty. In
his endeavor to net fairly toward the boys
Judge Day has exercised a great deal of
patience, but the World-Herald hns re
peatedly used the names against a tacit
agreement that nnmcs should not be pub
lished, and the lads have become restless
and have not kept their pact with the
court. On account of the indefinite char
acter of the state law, there Is no pro
vision for paying the probation officers;
hence the sheriff will hereafter take de
linquent boys to Kearney.

OBSERVE FEAST OF LIBERTY
Jewi Beg:
in uelebration ot tne lire:..
Festival of Passover.
RABBI COHN'S ADDRESS AT TEMPLE ISRAEl
Hoses Led the Way to Human Free
dom and the Race Has Always
Been In the Van for the
nights of Humanity.
The principal observance of Pesach, the
Jewish passover, occurred In Temple Israe.
yesterday morning, when Rabbi Frederick
Cohn spoke on "The Feast of the Pass
over." , ,
" "On this self-same day," " he quoted,
'there wont out all the hosts of the Lord
from Egypt." AVe celebrate today the feast
of the. passover, when thirty-five centuries
ago our ancestors in the persons of Moses
and Aaron made the flrat stand for human
freedom. They went again and again be
fore Pharaoh until their end was accom
plished. Seventy families went Into Egypt
and were given the fruitful land of Goshen,
In thankfulness for the service of Joseph,
the flist Jewish prime minister. But there
came a new J'baraoh, who knew not Joseph
and who wis nlled wltn trie aesire to en
slave mankind. Here In a noble example
Id-the Jews of the rights of man Insulted,
and here is a noble example of the rights
of man vindicated. The Jewish spirit of
liberty Is willing tc risk all for the rights
of mankind. Pharaoh was a typical despot.
Those who wish to enslave the people and
play the role of despot a-ways make his
answer; 'I know not your God and I will
not let the people go.' It Is the same In
Russia today, where the people are de
manding of this modern Pharaoh the right
of life, liberty and the pursuit of liberty
as they see It. This modern Pharaoh gives
tl.em bullets lit place of ballots, and for
l.berty he gtves them death.
God Sends to Pharaoh.
"The Jews did nut despair, but believed
In God, who saw their sorrows and tears,
and who would not let Ills people suffer.
Bo time after time, undismayed, they made
the same demand, 'Let my people go that
they may serve me." It 1b a grand thing
how God. made Pharaoh see ills power
and sent the ten drt.idful plagues. No
despot cun contend against God. As God
sent the plague to Egypt, so we have evi
dence of plagues In this modern Egypt;
war, defeat, first on the sea and then on
the land, fimlnes and ascusslnatinns. The
emslsvos are meeting and fverywhere the
people are saying, 'I-et the people go.' This
modern Pharaoh seems aiHjs to grant
something, but always hardens his heart.
"Are you aware of the efiect the brave
stand Israel made has had on the liberty
of the world? Their action founded the
nation of Israel, which has had the great
est effect ot any kingdom In the world's
history. Its laws have been copied, and
Its Ideals, and It gave the world Christ,
the Jew, who alone Is enough. That
little nation not only gave ChrUt, but all
the prophets, the old and the new testa
ments, and all the greatest and tenderest
emotions that swayed manklndi
Pride ot Liberty.
"Who would not give his life for liberty T
America, the. foremost country. In the world.
Is proud not of Its wealth and power and
great empire, but of Its liberty. All this
liberty is due to the Jews.' The Puritans
planted the seed on the bleak New England
shores. Everyone knows how Hebraic tho
Puritans were; they sang the songs of
David, they gave their children and their
cities Jewish names, and the sentence on
tho Liberty Bell Is from the Jewish Old
Testament, which has been called the text
book of liberty. The feast of the Passover
Is a feast of liberty, and we need such a
day, for tl-e battle Is not over. Men are
still crowded down. Israel's mission Is not'
ended. Why are the Jews ground down
still In many lands? Ood has His -reason,
so that the love tt liberty may hot die In
their breasts, and by the fight for liberty
for themselves they may gain lt for all
others. When Russia is free how proud
will the .Jews feel." '
