BEATRIQE GAS PLANT WINS
Company- la Victorious la Salt Where
Officials' Maims Were De
Bled bp Receiver.
Judge W. II. Munger of the federal court
handed down a memorandum opinion hi
the matter of the Farmers Loan and Trust
company against the Beatrice Oa com
pany, Thursday morning, wherein certain
claims of the Beatrice Oaa company officials
are aliened that were resisted by Re
ceiver II. V. Relsen. The claims amount
to several hundred dollars. The opinion
settles the point of the allowance of cer
tain claims between the time of the appli
cation for the appointment of a receiver
and the time the receiver qualifies In his
appointment.
The action grer out of a ault to fore
close a certain mortgage given by the gas
company on all lta property, franchise and
Issuea In Beatrice to the Farmers Loaa
and Trunst company. II. V. Relaen waa
appointed receiver of the eras company
December 6. 1M6. Receiver Relsen applied
to the United States circuit court to com
pel R. 8. Horton and A. 8. Maxwell, former
members and officials of the Beatrice Gaa
company, to turn over to him certain money
received by them from the gas company
subsequent to the application for the ap
pointment of a receiver, but before the
definite appointment waa made. Thla money
was In the nature of ealartea and clalma
for Horton, $4864, and for Maxwell, 16.
The question arose on the point aa to the
payment of money to the receiver between
the date of the original application for a
receiver and the date of the appointment
of auch receiver, about one month.
The court holds the receiver haa no right
to any revenues of the gaa company from
the date of the application for a rncelver-
ahip to the date of the qualification and
appointment of the receiver and hence
the application of the receiver for an order
requiring Horton and Maxwell to pay over
said money received by them during this
period la denied.

Not Informed that Delimits
' Decision II aa l et Bees
Beached.
IliW YORK. Doc. 19. The Journal of
Commerce this morning Bays: It was
learned that the Union Pacific directors
have. In ' common with directors of other
roads owning and operating coal mines,
been discussing the question of the segre
gation of the coal and transportation de
partments In accordance with the provi
sions cf the rate law of last year. The
provisions ot this law will prohibit them
on and after May 1 from transporting any
article or commodity other than timber.
manufactured or produced by them. The
Interpretation given the laws by the at
torneya of the Union Pacific la that the
company may produce and transport Its
own coal, tor Its own use in transportation
or otherwise,' but shall not sell such coal
(from Its own mines) before or after It has
been transported. Tn accordance with this
Interpretation of the law, It Is planned
by the Union Pacific to keep Its coal mines
tor its own exclusive uo.
They will be operated sufficiently to sup
ply the Union Paciflo. system whenever the
coal of the mines can bo delivered cheaper
than from other sections, but consumers,
even In the company'a district, will be
compelled to buy their supplies elsewhere,
which means, the directors believe, that the
Union Pacific will receive a large and prof
itable haul on new traffic.
The Union Pacific Coal company Is owned
almost exclusively by the Union Pacific
Railroad tompany. Ita entire capital stock
of (3,000.000 Is so owned. The coal company
has (5,000,000 outstanding in 6 per cent
bonds, of which $&8,ao only are in the
hands of the public the remaining H.STJ,
000 being in the Union Pacifia treasury.
Coal Unestlon m Problem,
"We have been considering the legal
atatua of the Union Pacific Coal company
for some time and we will have soon to
come to some determination In tha matter,
but as far as I know no definite conclu
sion has been reached," said John N. Bald
win, general solicitor of Hie Union Pacific,
when asked as to the correctness of tha
report from New York that the Union Pa
cific would hereafter use all the products
of the mines controlled by that company.
"The statement that a decision haa been
reauhed is news to me, so any expression
from the legal department to that effect
must have come from the attorneys in
New York. The Journal may have taken
some of the nutations under consideration
as decisions on the subject."

General 'Manager Mohler also stated
that he had heard of no conclusions

confronting the officers of the Union Pa
cific since the new law, which Is effective
May 1, was enacted. About four months
ago the Union Pacific quit selling coal to
any consumers east of the mines and also
quit using the cosl for Its own use in Ne
braska, preferring to permit the output
of the mines to go to the western and
northwestern points on the Southern Pa
cific and Oregon Bhort Line. The Union
Pacific In the meawhtle has been buying
all the coal which It has used In Ne
braska and most of that used In Kansas,
Colorado and Wyoming. This coal came
principally from Illinois mines and Is
much inferior to the Rock Springs coal.
The consequence Is that the cost of op
eration haa been Increased, although the
coal waa cheaper. It la no secret that
Union Pacific officials would much prefer
to have Rock Hprlngs coal to that from
Illinois.
The Union Pacific Coal company Is
owned by the Union Pacific Railroad com
pany and as such comes under the pro
visions of the rste law. To comply with
this law the railroad must 11 nd aome

might be to use Its own coal for its own
use.
VICTORY FOR A PRINCIPLE
"I So Consider Action of Snpreme
Conrt and Not Personal TrU
aipn," Says Connell.
"I consider the action of the supreme
court In reversing the action of Judge
Hottoh'lrt the 'contempt caae as a victoty
for ,aTrinclple- rather than a personal
triumph," declared W. J. Connell. "Of
course the action of the supreme court will
give me tluO more to spend for Christmas
presents, but I did not care as much about
that as for the principle Involved. In the
brief filed -in the supreme court I summed
up my position aa follows: ,
The fine of $100 imposed by Judge Sutton
If permitted to stand can be paid by Mr.
Connell and such payment will soon be
forgotten, But the law as laid down In
this rase will stand as the law of Nebraska
frovernlng the rights and dutiea of at
nrneys in the defense of human life and
inerty. Burely attorneys have rights as
well as Judges. They may not have as
much power as a Judge on the bench, but
for that reason their rights In the perform
ance of their duties should be all the mors
carefully considered and safe-guarded by a
reviewing court. If the language used by
Mr. Connell before Judge Sutton, under the
conditions and in the manner it waa used
as shown by the overwhelming weight of
he testimony in thia case, is contempt,
then there can be no such thing as a fear
lesa and faithful discharge of the obliga
tions of an attorney tor a client. If a
judge on the bench, by reason of being
clothed with the extreme power the law
givea him, can arbitrarily exercise such
power as did Judge Sutton, and the at
torney whose duty it la to do battle for
his client must remain silent, snd like a
whipped cur slink into a corner of the
court room without objection or protest,
the much vaunted right of a fair trial by
a court of justice Is a myth and the right
to make defense in criminal cases should
be eliminated from the constitution.
In making thla statement we realise fully
the obligations of attorneya toward the
courts and we also recognise that It la
the duty of attorneys at all tlmea to main
tain the respect due to courts of Justice.
Hut we insist that this duty and obligation
does not no to the extent of cringing sub
mission to tne win ana power of the trial
Judge when arbitrarily, erroneously or op
pressively exercised.
In hfs closing argument before Judge But
ton Just before the fine was Imposed Mr.
Council said:
And, your honor, I thank Qod, that the
charge here made against me is not dis
loyalty to my client. 1 would rather ten
thousand times over be charged with over
stepping the bounds of propriety In my
earnest desire to serve my client and pro
tect his rights and liberty than to be
charged with unfaithfulness to my client.
If your honor please, I would rather pay
a fine in any sum, or even go to the county
Jail, and, if need be, rot, (to use the ex
pression that your honor applied to my
argument ana to my law). In the darkest
dungeon of the county Jail than to be
untrue, unfaithful or disloyal to my client.

JURY LAW HARD TO OBSERVE
Imposei Task of Selecting: Only Per
ona of Good Character.
DIFFICULT FOE -BOARD TO KNOW
Prevision that Nat Leas Than One
Fifteenth of Legal Voters to rre- ,
clnct Be Included Problem
In Third Ward.
Members of the county bosrd have begun
the preparation of a new Jury list for 1506
and in view of the action of the court
In quashing the list for 1907 the commis
sioners are preparing to act with great
care in preparing the new one.
The old list waa quashed because the
commissioners did not follow the provi
sion of the law that not less than one
fifteenth of the legal voters In esch pre
cinct must be Included snd that the propor
tion between' the precincts must be main
tained in the ratio of the number of legal
voters In the precinct. This provision,
coupled with the one requiring the commis
sioners to put on only those whom they
know to be of good moral character Is
making the task a hard one.
The commissioners complain It is hard to
comply strictly wltn the law because it Is
Impossible for them to know personally
enough man In each precinct to make the
proportion accurate and at the same time
see that no undesirable Jurors ore placed
on the list. Approximately &0Q0 names are
placed In the jury wheel.
The difficulty is most pronounced in the
Third wsrd, where only thirty property
owners reside. The number of Jurors pro
portioned to this ward several times this
numoer, so a great many oi mem must De
drawn from tha floating population and
the commissioners declare it Is difficult for
them to obtain Information regarding this
class, sufficient to enable them to draw
only the best. .
The courts have been strict in Interpreting
the sections relating to the making up of
the Jury Hats. In a decision announced
several years ago Judge Lake declared
too many or too few namea In the list
from any precinct would, In his oplpion.
Invalidate the jury lists. The supreme
court hss also been very strict In Interpret
ing the statute.
Attorneys familiar wtlh the law and 'the
decisions of the courts have declared they
did not believe a single Jury list In any
of the counties of the state could stand
the test of the courts. The Douglas
county commissioners declare they are
going to do their beat to comply atrlctly
with the law.

BOARD TAKES CALENDAR YEAR
School nireetors Depart freaa the Caw
torn of Ending Period with
Laat of Jnne.
At an adjourned meeting of the Board of
Education Thursday at noon the fiscal
year of the board was changed to corres
pond with the calendar year. This action
followed a report from a special committee
appointed last February to revise the bus
iness methods of -the bosrd. This was the
first report made by . the committee and
Immediately thereafter It waa discharged.
The resolution by which the change In
the year was made pointed out that lack of
legal authority for making June SO the end
of the fiscal year, together with the fact
that recent changes In the law require
estimates of the board to be made In July,
which under the present system necessi
tates an estimate for expenditures for the
year ending nearly two years In advance,
renders Impossible an accurate estimate.
After the report was adopted the treas
urer was Instructed to discontinue the
special license fund now maintained on
order of tho board and to transfer all
money tn that fund to the general fund on
January J, 19"j8. ' '
. The secretary said under the new fiscal
year a new apportionment would be nec
essary, as the present sportionment Is
based on the fiscal year ending next. July,
when It will now end next December.
The form of bond for the Issue of flOO,
000 bond issue was approved. The bonds
are to bear per cent Interest, payable
semi-annually and to be in denominations
of tl.000 each.
The pay rolls, carrying 40,5S2.tt were
allowed.
