sustained a number of bad scalp wounds,
one side of her face was peeled, one
shoulder broken, a long cut was Inflicted
In the throat and four teeth were knocked
out, others being loosened so they had to
be wired by the physicians.
To the alertness and presence of mind of
Motorman J. W. Keppler Is due the fact
that the child was not ground under the
wheels of the car. He dropped the fender

stopped his car within a few feet, regard

Nellie was knocked against the end of the

ewer Inspector Ron Over by Freight
Cara at Klahth and
Jones.
Thomas Lee, a sewer Inspector In the
rlty engineer's office, was run over and
killed by freight cars In the yards near
Klghth and Jones streets about 1 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. The abdominal portion
of the body was badly mangled.
No one was near to witness the accident,
nor did anyone hear any cries. From the
position of the body It Is believed Lee had
stepped between two cars, when a train was
pushed down and, running suddenly Into
the string where he was standing, knocked
him down. Lee waa about 65 years old and
may have been somewhat hard of hearing
or was not sufficiently agile to avoid being
run over. The body was dragged along for
a short distance and waa seen a short time
afterward by men working on the sewer
paralleling the track.
Lee had evidently been Inspecting the
work on the new Jones street sewer, which
runs through the railroad yards. Mean
while he had gone near the string of freight
cars standing on the nearest track, but Just
how ho came to be between the cara or be
run over will not be known. As soon aa
the report of the accident reached the city
engineer's office City Engineer Rosewater
and Mr. Robinson hastened to the scene.
The coroner was also 'notified and the body
taken to the morgue. Lee lived at 1607
Corby street with his wife.

PLAN OF TRAINS TO COAST
Conference of Officials to Arrange
Beat Meana Meeting New
Conditions.
A conference of railroad officials will be
held In Chicago this week to consider the
I train between Chicago and the Pacific
coast. Just what will be done Is not
known, but a change In schedules Is quite
probable. It Is thought some of the
faster trains will be made slower and
heavier to accomodate more of the local
business which Is Increasing. Reports from
the state Indicate the travel Is heavier
elnce the 2-cent law went Into effect, but
railroad men claim there are but few more
people traveling. There seems to be more
of a crowd around the ticket window's be
fore train time, but that Is accounted for
by the fact that traveling men are now
buying tickets Instead of using their
mileage books.

FORMLR ADVOCATE ARBITRATION PLAN
Employes Will Have Their Vote on
Strike Proposition Completed
by Thursday, Heady
to Announce.
The general managers' committee repre
senting the forty-two railroad lines In the
west. Which has been In conference with
the trainmen In reference to an Increase In
wages, will reconvene in Chicago next week
to consider the situation. The railroad
managers gave their answer to the men
offering certain raises, but not what the
men had demanded and the matter" Is being
put to a vote of the trainmen of the dif
ferent roads. ,
'The matter probably will be submitted
to arbitration," said General Manager Moh
ler Tuesday morning. "The Bee hit the
keynote to the situation In its editorial
Tuesday morning advocating artltratlon.
for that was Just what waa outlined In
communications which passed between the
committee of general mnnagers and the
representatives of the men."
February 27 the general managers' com
mittee wrote to Messrs. Garretson and Mor
rlasey, representing the trainmen, as fol
lows: In the event of a decision unfavorable to
the acceptance of the proposals submitted
by the managers' committee It Is sug
gested tile entire question be submitted to
arbitration on a has' to be determined by
our respective committees.
Messrs. Garretson and Morrissey replied
on same date:
Committee received this afternoon about I
1 o'clock your communication of even date.
The committee will adjourn tomorrow to
take the vote of membership on the lines
interested. We will notify you sufficiently
In advance of the date they reassemble to
permit of necessary arrangement for the
presence In this city of the managers' com
mittee. Tho referendum vote now being taken by
the trainmen, conductors and brakemen. Is
whether to strike or not and Its result Is
to lie canvassed In Chicago Thursday and
announced at once. A local representative
of the trainmen is authority for the state
ment that the overwhelming sentiment of
the men Is favorable to a strike as a last
recourse, since they have been unable to
get from the general managers what they
asked an advance of 15 per cent In their
pay and an eight-hour system.
COURT UNMOVED BY ORATORY
Judge Troup Gives Eloquent Colored
Man Three and One-Half
Year a.
The peroration which Frank Smith, col
ored, had prepared and which he delivered
before Judge Troup in the criminal court
Tuesday morning had but little effect and
he waa sentenced to three and one-half
years In the penitentiary.
Smith is a very black negro of very
small stature. The charge against him
was breaking and entering the store of
Julius Goclewskl on the night of February
21 and stealing therefrom several yards of
Scotch suitings and some fancy clay wor
steds. "Ah ain't never been arrested befoh,
Jedge," said Smith with an Impressive ges
ture. "Ah'a a law 'bldln citizen of this
glorious republic. Ah came to your beauti
ful city Jes" a few weeks befoh Ah was
tempted by the devil an' fell. Ah waa a
stranger In a strange land. Jedge. Ah
know" Ah' (,one wrong an" Ah asks lenacy
from the coht
Mr. Smith, having delivered himself of
this, stood fingering his ragged cap In ex
pectancy. An examination of the facts
showed he had taken Just about enough of
a gaudily checkered pattern of goods to
make himself a swell suit and enough clay
worsteds of a bright green hue to make
a fancy vest to go with the suit. Who
can deny that a man must have a present
able appearance .before seeking employment
In a community? Will business men en
gage the services of a man In rags? AH
this Mr. Smith pointed out to the court
and answered the questions with a scorn
ful "no"
The court pronounced a sentence of three
and a half years, which Is Just half of tho
maximum if a man Is found guilty.
"Mah particular style of declamatory
didn't seem to please the Jedge," said
gmun.
F. W. FITCHGAINS A POINT
Lawyer's Cnae Goes to County At
torney, which Is Considered
Victory for IIIui.
Judge Sears of the district court Fridiy
morning placed the charges against At
torney F. W. Fitch In the hands of County
Attorney English, who will file charges
against him In the criminal court.
Fitch is accused of tampering with tho
records In the trial of his suit against
Euclid Martin for $5,000 attorney's fees.
Judge Sears dismissed the jury In the case
when the alleged tampering wns called to
his attention. He at once appointed a
committee of three attorneys to Investigate
Fitch's conduct. The Investigation was
held behind closed doors. The committee
found against Fitch and recommended pro
ceedings for disbarment.
Lest Saturday argument was made by
attorneys for Fitch to show why the find
ings of the committee should not be made
the findings of the court and spread upon
the record. The decision of the court Tues
day Is a victory for Fitch, Inasmuch as the
findings of the committee are held purely
formal and unofficial, and the court admits
It has no jurisdiction In the case.
A formal order will be made by Judge
Sears directing the county attorney to pro
ceed against Fitch to prove contempt of
court or Interference with the administra
tion of justice. Disbarment proceedings
may follow.

FIGHT FOR CUSTODY OF GIRL
Mother and Grandmother Are llavlnai
It Out In the
Courts.
The question of whether the 1-vear-o1d
daughter of Mrs. William Jeffries of Harri
son, Neb., shall go home with her mother
or remain In Council Bluffs under the care
of her grandmother, Mrs. Roy.il O. Amy,
probably will be decided by the court. The
court flpht. which Is being made In the
Council Bluffs court before Justice Green,
takes a dual form. Habeas corpus pre
ceding are being heard today and a charge
of kidnaping will be heard later.
Yesterday Mrs. Jeffries attempted to
force the girl to accompany her across the
river and created quite a scene. Officer
Gillespie made Mrs. Jeffries and her
daughter enter the carriage which the
former had secured and accompany him to
police headquarters. Chief of Police Rich
mond declined to Interfere, and Mrs. Jef
fries and her daughter drove to Omaha,
but were Intercepted and arrested on a tele
phone message from Council Bluffs, charg
ing Mrs. Jeffries with kidnaping her
daughter. Later in the day Mrs. Jeffrie
and her daughter returned to Council
Bluffs, accompanied by Detective Richard
son, and went to the home of a relative
pending a settlement of the question of the
girl's custody.
Mrs. Jeffries claimed that her daughter
came to Council Bluffs Just before Christ
mas last to see her grandfather, who was
not expected to live at that lime, but not
with the Intention of permanently remain
ing here. On the other side, it Is contended
that the girl came with the consent of her
parents. In order that she might go to
school
The girl objects to going back to
the farm, alleging that she Is made to don
overalls like a boy and do objectionable
chores, such as cleaning hog pens and other
dirty work.

Plans Cocked and Primed
Supersedeas Bond from the
Supreme Court at
Lincoln.
Samuel E. Howell, president of the
Omaha Coal exchange, will be In Jail Wed
nesday. His Incarceration probably will
last only for a few hours, however, Just
long enough for Attorney W. J. Connell to
dispatch a man by the earliest train to
Lincoln to file a supersedeas bond In the
supreme court. Mr. Connell holds that
Howell should not be Imprisoned at all, even
for the few hours pending the filing uf this
. bon(1 , the Bupr.lne COUrt. But Judge
Sutton takes a different view.
'I shall not Insist on his being actually
within tho walls of the county jail," said
Judge Sutton. "I will pronounce sentence
and he will be placed In the cutttody of the
sheriff who may do what he likes with
him."
Counsel for Mi. Howell has done every
thing posxlble to keep him from a sentence
In Jail and everything will be done to keep
him from setting foot Inside the county
strong house. Judge Sutton will sentence
Howell late In the morning and sign the
bill of exceptions. Howell will be placed
In the sheriff's custody and Attorney V. P.
Thomaa of Mr. Connell's office will leave
at 1 o'clock for Lincoln. Arrangements
will be made beforehand to have one of
the Judges of the supreme court remain
there until he arrives, for If the tmlu should
be a few hours late and the court should
be closed Mr. Howell might be compelled
to spend the night behind prison bars.
The moment the aupersedeas bond Is filed
in the supreme court, the fact will be tele
graphed to Omaha and Mr. Howell will be
released.
