PATRICKS DAY A YEAR AGO Under Mike Lce' Direction Nebraska Leis laturs Hold: Memorable Session. IRISH RULE IN EVERY HEART THEN Wit and Wlailum of that Oreaaloa Uwell Frc.h In tlir Memory of Thour Who Wltara4 ' the rrocrrrilaa;. When St. PatiU-k'i memory attained the matur hk of yonra It occurred to thp Nebraska leg-irlnture, which chnnwd to hp In sesMlon at lht time, that It would be nothing more than due respect for old to observe the fart, and so It was observed. Now St. Patrick's day hnd bron celebrated In many place and on many occasions prior to this one In Lincoln, but it has become traditional to doubt whether any other celebration compared with this one. It was by all odds the most auspicious vent of the wenty-nlnth session of the Nebraska legislature, except, perhaps, th forming of the citadel by a few select thousands of South Omaha's energetic eltl tens who nearly blew the dome oft the state house with their protest against the housn bill which proposed consolidation of Omaha and tta sister town. And that reminds your t'ncle Henry that the same individual plaed the star rnle in both these famous performances Rep resentative Mike Ie of Omaha. It was Mike L who introduced the bill to con solidate the two cities, and therefore It was Mike Iee who became the center of attack of that historic phalana from the Magio City. It was Mike Iee, likewise, who Initiated the ceremonies In honor of Ireland's patron saint, and it was this same bloomin' Mike Lee who wunt down into the executive chamber and fetched the sovemor into the house, followed by the .ifuut.ant governor, the other state officers and the members of the senate. Mlk Lee'a Day, Besiorra. Sure. It was not only St.. Patrick's duy; at was Mike Lee's day, so It was, and a bl: J at that, too. That day will not soon lose its place I: tl annals of legislative affairs of Ne braeka. It will not soon fade from tlv memory of the men and the women vh ' rsfcaaJSaWBWBSSafaajgjWt lrr;iir:l "lUiiOraui Llramnieinni , HAND SAPOLIO It ensures an enjoyable, in vigor, ating bath ; iniei every ' pore respond, removes dead skin, ENEHOUEi TM8 WH6LB BOOT Uru the circulat'.os, ad leaves glow equal to a Turkish bath. were fortunate enough to enjoy Its demon strations. It was a day of pleasure, of mirth, of frivolity, that is true, but it certainly was not all mere fun and Idle wit; It would be a big mistake to miscon ceive Jhese features as the true slRnincance of that day, for It was a day full of dig nified interest and solemn instruction. In deed. It can be doubted If this Immortal festival, so dear to every true Irishman's heart, ever had or ever will have, a more Impressive observance than was accorded It In Ilepresentattvo hall of the Nebraska state house by the leglslaturo, March J7, 1. It will be strange If the thoughtful on there that day do not reflect today upon the proceedings of one year ago. This Day la Omaha. Omuhahas no formal celebration planned tirday, though some small festivals will be participated In. The chief occasions of this day will be the assemblage at Sacred Heart church tonight, when Hlshop Keane nt Cheyenne will make an address on some lhSH of the Irish people's history and life and the function at Crelghton College of Law, under the auspices of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, where John Rush will be the principal orator. Of course, program or no program, not even the snow can keep back the green this day. and the general display of that beloved color doubt less will be as distinguished as ever before. Some one has suggested that Mike Lee. now a republican candidate for the city council, assemble all the candidates on aU tickets and hold a general political free-for-all in snme hall large enough for the occasion tonight, sing praises to St. Pat rick and then proceed to a general wallop ing of local campaign Issues. But Mr. Lee has not yet signified hla purpose of acting upon this suggestion. It Is not known what attitude Governor Mickey might take, but assurances have come from Lieutenant Governor MoUllton and members of the legislature In the city they will attend such an affair If held. Representative Frank Currle of Dawes county, who makes hla summer home, In Omaha and Js conse quently here . at present. Is eathuslastlc over the plan, though an outsider. Eveatfal la Other Respects. The 17th day of March laat year had been an eventful one In the lower branch it the legislature. Friends of tie several all road rate regulation measures were de bated after a good fight to advance cert ain of their bills for consideration, thus nsurlng final action before It was too late n the session. The day before, however, Mr. Lee had secured as a special order, be .Inning at 11:30, the celebration of 8t. Pat .Ick's day. To some the Idea presented only a Joke, buMo Mr. Lee and a few other sons of the Emerald Isle such as Representatives Fer- rtr, Scllltfcv. Wilson and (Senators Epperson and Jones, it was a matter of profound earnestness. The house had been decorated for the oc casion the night before. A great banner of the Stars and Stripes hung majestically from the wall back of the speaker's stand. There In the center of the emblem of the ""land of the fre and the home of the brave" was pinned the sun-burnt banner of Erin. This picture of union and liberty It self was an eloquent tribute to the occa sion. r'lasia Thrill Irish. A Merit a aa. The great principles ihfcae two national Ruga represented were uppermost In the oratory of the day. The united banners told, mutely, of struggles of small and youthful nations for liberty against the might and thraldom of stronger adversaries; they portrayed the Inherent manhood of honest poverty resisting the strength of un scrupulous wealth; they told how a simple folk which loved freedom better than power had striven to wrest, themselves from the grasp of avarice aud might, to gain for tin niselvns uuJ th-'r ct'lMieil and their cl.iljrtus thilJitu that vueee6loa jho blcxsed than wealth, than power, than might, than diHtlnctlnn, and which notio of these alone can give and maintain that possession for which even life is none too dear to purchase liberty of thought and freedom of action. And as truly as did the fiugs of these two nations, whose trattitions so easily harmonize, bring out the fact of these principles, so surely were the value and solemnity of these truths Impressed on the thoughtful mind that day. And so it was a day worthy to be remembered,' for Americans lived over America's battle for freedom and Irishmen revived Ireland's struggle for liberty, and In the union of a common flag, a common country and one cause the sterling sons of Irish-America foreswore again their allegiance, first to the principles on which their nation stands and second their loyalty to that nation. Looks I.Ike a Greenhoaae. . The auditorium resembled some gigantic greenhouse. ' Tpe . emerald hue not only predominated;' it was. everywhere. The senators who had come in and taken seats besides the representatives, the housn mem bers, the galleries, everybody, was be decked and great bowers, genuine and otherwise, were planted on all sides. A band whs stationed In the gallery and as It was thrilling the souls of everyone with "The Wearing of the Green." in marched the Honorable Mike Lee and the governor of Nebraska. And the pande monium broke loose. Lee's happy coun tenance was one wreath of Joyous smiles and the governor's dignified mien gave way under the spell. The governor paid a happy i0MHCi n nj?

J ' " "" and most eloquent tribute to the Irish peo ple, so eloquent. In fact, that when he had concluded a deafening applause arose. Speaker Rouse, intending to surrender completely to the Irish, Invited Re.pre suntatlve Ferrar of Hall county to the speaker's chair. Mr, Ferrar proved to be a (splendid1 presiding officer. Introducing each speaker with some especial distinc tion. Mr. Ferrar himself spoke for some minutes of Ireland and Its people, Its strug gles and Its triumphs. He gave evidence of a profound knowledge of the affairs of his country, and, In fact, this was the one most noticeable feature of the whole pro ceedings; that the Irishmen who spoke possessed a knowledge of their native land to a degree that was astonishing. loan, Barns and Othera. Senator Ralph W. Waldo Jones of Otoe county was the first speaker Invited . by Chairman Ferrar. The senator read his address, which showed careful prepara tion. Senator Epperson of Caaa county- then spoke and Representative Wilson of Pawnee, who had first beheld the auld sod lu County Antrim. The Irrepressible Rep tesentatlva "Joe" Burns of Lancaster was heard from. Mr. Ferrar Introduced him as hailing from Kilkenny, likening him to one of the traditional cats of that distinguished bailiwick, bringing down a roar of laugh ter as a good starter for "Joe," Next came Representative Bcllley of Dodge county, whom the chairman said was the "sweet est man In the house, as all the women would attest." Representative McMullen of Gage county, the Adonis of the session, then came out under the limelight and made one of the hits of the day by a striking allusion to Representative lee Incidentally some natural wit about the else of Representative Muxen of Omaha had placed a huge green potted plant, some ten or twelve feet high, potted In a tub, where It cast its wide foliage over Mike Lee's desk and Mike sat under the shade of this green bay barroom tree as happy as a barefoot boy asleep on a rail fence In June. McMullen Is strikingly handsome and very dignified. He possesses unusual oratorical powers and he used them this day to good advantage, never omitting to give full vent to his Scotch-Irish wit. Good Ost oa Leo. Turning tuward Lee in the fullness of his eloquence, McMullen said: "The Irish of Nebraska should be proud of this patriot from Omaha, sitting yon der enshrined In green under the banner of Anhuuser-Uusch." v It was some time before the house subsided. And McMullen, confessing to only bcint half Irish, paid the race a substantial tribute by saying: "The head of the cxar's military bouse hold Is an Irishman and if it were not for that fact I believe the Russian army would have been crushed long ago; and If the head of the Russian army were Irish 1 believe Port Arthur would have been takon before this by the cur's troops." And thn Mike Lee arose. He had to. Half a dosvn men were after hi in. They escorted him to the speaker's rostrum a.nd Mr. Lee spoke. And that speech, without disparaging any other of the day, was the most comprehensive In scope as it treated of Ireland and Its history, of tta people and their lives and more Interesting than any other. Lee grew really eloquent and his timed of prslse was not stinted. O'HEARN ACCUSES NELSON (Continued from First Page.) Terrible Disaster Averted.

The witness also admitted that at the time of the holdup he stood nearest to Bonney and had on a short overcoat and Nelson had on a long black overcoat and had gone behind the bar to get the money. The wit ness also admitted he had used the name of Gllmore when arrested once before. Mrs. O'Hearn testified as to the conversa tions with Nelson the morning after the shooting and with the police officers. She said Nelson had asked her about the dis position of the revolver. Nelson had testi fied that she broached the subject. She also testified sha had given the gun and tho money given her by Nelson to her father. Mr. Fleharty testified as to the room In which the coroner's Inquest was held. Warren Stands lr O'Heara. Joe Warren, the last witness for the de fense, was placed on the utand at Z o'clock. He testified that itaymond Nelson had passed a note up to Leo Angus In the city Jail telling Angus be must turn slate's evidence against O'Hearn In order to save themselves. Warren said there was more to the note than this, but he was unable to read the rest of It. He tore up the note and threw away the pieces. When he, Nelson and Angus were taken to the court room to be arraigned he said Nelson spoka to him in the dressing room at the Jail, saying he" ought to turn state's evidence against O'Hearn. He also testified he had gone Into the toilet room in the saloon at Fifteenth and Harney while O'Hearn was there and had taken O'Hearn's revolver out of his pocket and examined It. He testi fied It was a 38-caIlber gun of the Iver Johnson make. He Identified the gun found on him when he was arrested as the same one he had examined that night. County Attorney Slabaugh asked him why be did not cay anything about the gun In his statement to the police and he re sponded he did not care to say any more than waa necessary at that time. After he left the stand the defense rested. County Attorney Slabaugh asked that ha be given until Saturday morning to put on his witnesses In rebuttal, as he wanted to use Raymond Nelson, who had been takn out of town, and he could not get him until morning. Judge Sutton overruled hla request and after examining two or three witnesses In rebuttal the state rested In rebuttal at 3:10 p. m. Flteh Pleads for Hanging;. Deputy County Attorney Fitch at oace began his argument to the Jury. He said thete could be no doubt that either Nelson or O'Hearn fired the fatal shot. The testl mony of Bonney, the only disinterested eye witness of the murder, he said, corrobo rated the testimony of Nelson that O'Hearn did the shooting. Ha asked the iurv to in fllct the death penalty. He Ulked an hour and fifteen minutes and at 1:25 gave way to Mr. Fleharty, who opened for the de fense. Mr. Fleharty said he felt no hostility toward Raymond Nelson, but he did not want a guilty person to Ox the gravity of the offense on someone less guilty than others. As a general thing, he said, the most guilty are the first to lay the blame on someone else. "No word appears oftener," ha continued, "on the records of the court reporter la this case than the word saloon. These boys met at a saloon.' On the day of the tragedy this defendant ate his breakfast St a saloon. Then they visited more saloons. They went to the theater and during the Intermission visited , saloons. After the theater they went to the n loons. At night they met at a saloon. They visited aaloona on llielr jj to Cuming street and finally the tragedy was enacted in a saloon. As you follow this bunch of boys from saloon to saloon I want you to say who Is tho real criminal In this case. The law pre sumes a man means to do what hla acts ac complish. If this Is true, what do you say Is the Intent of the man who sends these boys from saloon to saloon. . The law holds the saloon keeper who sells the drink re sponsible for the results of the drink. Who Is the guilty party, the victim of the sa loon or the business Itself?" J Mr. Fleharty spoke until 6 o'clock, when an adjournment was taken until l:S0 o'clock this morning. The arguments to the Jury probably will be finished some time today and the case may go to the Jury this after noon. ' That the action of the mob Thursday night In trying to lynch the defendants will be used in ,an effort, to secure a new trial shbuld the death penalty be inflicted by the Jury Is Indicated by a motion for a postponement filed yesterday afternoon by Attorneys English and Fleharty. An affi davit In support Oi the motion called at tention to the attempt at a lynching the night before and the prejudicial effect It would have on the minds of the Jury. It alleged a fair and Impartial trial could not be had until after the excitement had died down. County Attorney Slabaugh filed a counte affidavit declaring the Jurors are locked up and very carefully guarded and was al most a mile away from the scene of the riot; that newspapers are carefully kept away from them and they had no way of getting news of the occurrences of Thurs day night. Judge Sutton t overruled the motion for a postponement. It is consid ered probable the defense will make the mob a basis for a request for a new trial In case tho death penalty is Inflicted.
