Once ha waa In the -midst of a humorous story about a colored Justice o( the peace In Arkansas, when Judge Button said:. . "I object to having this court compared to any colored' Justice of the peace In Ar kansas. We are here to decide this case und not to hold the court up to ridicule.'1 County Attorney ngllsh made an argu inetUcmbehultbf tha state lasting, only a few minutes. Then Attorney Btout spoke r'more than an hour 6n behalf of Mr. Con nell," and theft Mr., Connell began his argu ment. 1 lie -lawyrr wuu iwa urru tumivu with contempt because of remarks made during the trial of the "Coal trust" case waa the personification of earnestness as ha stood looking the court straight In the eyes and pleaded for the vindication of his professional ' reputation. Several tlmea Judge Sutton had to interrupt and remind the attorney that the court was not on trial. ' . Comedy or Tragedy. 'The curtain lr about to be rung down on mis comedy or', tragedy, whatever it may be," said Mr. Connell. "It may be llher, or, as your honor has designated It, a vaudeville performance. For the first time in my life I am charged with a crime. For the first time my liberty la Jeopardised by the threat of a fine or Imprisonment For the first time. In my thirty yeara' ca reer I am charged with conduct unbecom ing an attorney. "I will not g( to the extreme of my coun sel, Mr. Stout, and aay that 1 have never overstepped the bounds of exactly exem plary action before the courts. I may have done, so unintentionally at tlmea In the earnestness of argument. But this Is the first time a court has ever Intimated that, I was guilty of contempt." Mr. Connell dwelt at considerable length upon the fart that he waa already con victed before the trial began. He referred to the atatementa of Judge Sutton that the Information waa filed merely to give him a chance to go on record, and declared he was In the powitlen of the horse which en ters the race already beaten. Then he took up the several counts of the Information. Comparleoa with Bible, "You can prove by the Bible that there la no God, for the Bible expressly says so, said Mr. Connell. "But the statement must be taken with Its context, and that Is, The fouL hath said In hla heart, there Is no Ood.' So In the charges made against me. He referred to one of the counts, where It Is charged Connell stated that he did not believe any law he could -present would have much effect on the court. He showed that the court. Immediately preceding this statement,'-had said he had lost faith In the kind of law Connell presented. "I merely reiterated your honor's state It Is A Sad Fact It la a sad fact that people In c n1! now nothing- of th food they eat.

Ill iiilHI Jr Jltm r-,A I ment," said Connell. "Can the court be In contempt of Itself?" Regarding his remarks to the court when the witness, Griffith, was excluded during the coal case, Mr. s Connell reiterated strongly his contention that he had made his objections to the exclusion of the wit ness before the court had positively or dered him from the witness stand. - Two Aaatnat Seven. Mr. Connell In the afternoon pointed out that only two baillfTs had testified that he used the words: "Why was the grand Jury called Just before election to get Judge 81a baugh elected county attorney," while seven witnesses swore positively that he did not use the words. He ended his argu ment with much feeling, declaring that he never had Intended dlsreepect to any court In hla life. "I thank Ood." ho exclaimed, "that what ever charge may be brought against me, the charge of having too little regard for my client has not and never can be brought My voice Is naturally high and In my earnestness I, sometimes raise It In defense of my clients. But I would rather ten thou sand, times pay any fine or rot the reat of my days In the darkest dungeon of the county Jail than to be even suspected of betraying the Interests of my clients." In replying. Judge Button denounced the conduct of Mr. Connell In unsparing terms. "I agree with Mr. Connell," he said, "that a lawyer's reputation is his most valuable esot and the .court has no desire to injure the reputation of Mr. .Council In Omaha, If he has one. Neither Is the court looking for a chance to send Mr. Cormell to Jail. Tn the trial of the Coal trust case every thing was pleasant until the court refused to quash the Indictment. Then Mr. Con nell was offended and every time the court happened to disagree with him he tried to make the Jury believe that the court waa working against his clients. Conrt Did Not See the Joke. "When Mr. Connell said to the court that he did not think any law he could produce would be of much effect, the court did not take that tn the nature of repartee. It may have been pleasant to Mr. Btout and It may have been fun to Mr. Connell, but it waa no fun to the court. It waa sneering and Insinuating In tone and there was a sickly smile passed around among dim of the other defendsnts in the Coal trust case, as though they, thought he had gotten back at the court by that remark.. The dignity of the courts cf the country must be preserved so that rich and poor alike, can get an Impartial trial, and these remarks of Mr.. Connell did not respect the court as it should be." Judge Sutton reviewed the fifth ami sixth counts of the information, in which only the two bailiffs swore that the language had been ueed, and on these two counts found Mr. Connell not guilty. These were the In stances where It was charged Mr. Connell said: "Why was the grand Jury called Just before election to get Judge glabaiigh elected county attorney." A full finding in the case will be spread on the records thla afternoon. Though Mr. Connell has ben now practically found guilty. Judge Button declared positively he would be given every opportunity to give a bond until he could get hla case Into the supreme court. "I want to give Mr. Connell every chance to have hla case reviewed by .the supreme court." said the Judge. "He has sworn that I Intend, to Imprison him without any chance to get a aupersedeaa bond. He may have special divination to discover what the court Intends to do, but such is not and never haa been my object." Mr. Connell will take action Immediately to get the caae to the supreme court.

A new ruling of the Western Trunk Line association will go Into effect February li. which promises to bring protests to the Interstate Commerce commission from Job ber all over the association's territory. It permits the loading of prise packages, which has so far been confined to cereals and certain other food producta, with all kinds of freight, the rate to be 110 per cent of what It would be without the prlxe. Local railroad offices have received, notice of thla ruling. i The prise package plan waa originally de signed to cover the shipment of cereals con taining spoons and other cheap articles to make the purchase attractive to house wives, but the privilege haa been extended until a man can place a amall quantity of cereal In a box with several times Its value in other goods and get a rate on the whole not Justified by the classification of the premium articles. He can ship a piano as premium on some cheap article and thus get a low rate on the piano. There seems to be nothing to prevent him from placing a few bales of ailk In a shipment of cheap goods and getting the silk transported at a ridiculously low rate. This matter was brought up In a meeting at Chicago Saturday of the commissioners of commercial organisations in the western trunk line territory, at which John M. Guild of Omaha was present, and It was the unanimous opinion the rule should be abrogated. It wts said the rule would give the dishonest merchant a chance to get the beet of his competitor. . Opponent 8ce4e Victory. The opponents of the plan scored a vic tory at the meeting two weeks ago of the western classification oommittee, when the committee refused to make a classification on package premiums. This, however, does not prevent the western trunk line roads from naming the rate. The object of the Chicago meeting was primarily to talk over the merchants' meet ings at Jobbing centers, the railroads hav ing objected to the practice of the com mercial clubs In allowing others than re- tall merchants to ride on the reduced rales. It Is alleged that some of the clubs O. K. the certificates of lawyers, bankers, grain men and others whom the railroads do not Intend to Include under the name of merchants. This practice haa never pre vailed at Omaha, but at some of the other markets. The verdict was that the offend ing cluba should be more careful not to abuse the privilege. Reciprocal demurrage was discussed, but no action taken. H. C. Barlow, executive director of the Chicago Commercial asso ciation, announced that his association had decided to oppoee the Madden bill. Com mlasloner Guild of the Omaha Commercial club says the Omaha Jobbers are In favor of the railroads paying the demurrage in cases of - unreasonable delay, but as yet they suggest no definite plan for arriving at this consummation. r BOUQUETS FOR YOUNG MAYOR Flattering; Comments Made by Loats vllle Papers of Mr. Becker of Mllwaalcee. i Mayor Becker of Milwaukee, " chief speaker at the McKlnley club banquet Tuesday evening, will arrive In Omaha at 8:30 Tuesday morning. He will be met at the depot by a committee and after a call on Mayor Dahlman at 10 o'clock will be taken In hand by severalsmen of the cltl sens' reception committee.
