THE OMAHA DAT! A BEE: SATURDAY. MAY 23, 190$.
FARCE COMEDY IS AUTO DAY
One Obscure Man Identified for Ex
ceeding: the Speed Limit.
OTHERS NOT XHOWN TO POLICE
Cronl af Spectators nissppnlated in
the MorfcU Cnrlosltr of Seelna
Premlneat Cltlseas Flae
far Scorching;.
Living in retirement when at home and
bent over desks tn high offlca building!
when at work scared many men whose
namra are familiar to almost everyone In
the clly, but whoee face are unknown to
any police officer, from being- fined for
exceeding the speed limit In automobilea
when brought Into police court Friday.
These are the men .whom the policemen
who atw and timed .the machines could
not Identify: E. M. Fairfield, general
manager of the Omaha Water company;
! Lee McShan P. Wella(j D. C. Bradford of
'the Bradfordk-Kennedy Lumber company;
1 J. J. Derlght, automobile dealer; O. C.
Redlck, automobile dealer. Frank H.
Gnlnes, ftttorrH and E. R. Needham.
' But the polic knew Charles H. Wilson,
for they followed him on motor cycles and
overtook him wOirn the machine stopped
, at the Henshaw Jiotel, and he waa fined $10
and coats. George McLaln waa alao iden
tified and caught, but took a continuance
until Saturday. '
To the large nutmber who had asaembled
in police court to see . the "poor rich"
oaked "automobeiB day" waa a great dis
appointment. As one after another the
prisoners were led before the bar where
10,000 John Does ha'e stood they appeared
to realize the enormf.ty of the offense with
which they were charged, but some of
them did not know what .tjhe charge was,
while attorneys told the court that othera
did not know that a man under, arrest
had to romo .Into court when a hearing waa
held. Far fiom bofng Indifferent to the
holy, Just and beneficent law, which Is
no inspector of. parsons, the prisoners were
anxious and care-worn looks as they were
grouped about the Tailing and awaited
thojr regular Uuui to be called to plead.
K. M, Fairfield First.
E. M. Fairfield was the flrat to be called.
The officer had' taken hla number. He
identified it as the. aaime on which swings
a leather ' sign widen looks like a horse
blinker and bumps the clods under his au
tomobile. But the o.Vlcer could not identify
Mi. Falrfluld aa the man who waa at the
pilot wheel. Aa Judge Crawford aald "Dis
charged," Mr. Fairtleld .walked out of the
court room.
"D. C. Bradford,"" aald; the city proae
cutor, "atajid up!"
To the people's bar walked the well
known lumberman. He plainly showed In
hla face the strain under which he has
labored since his arrest and the anxiety
as to what the charge would be.
"Guilty or not guilty," said the court.'
"I do not know what the charge Is,"
faltered Mr. Bradford, nervously biting a
button off his coat.
'Running an automobile too fast," ex
plained the judge in mild and sympathizing
tones.
"Well well-I don't know as I did,"
pleaded the prisoner.
The officer who took the number which
corresponded to that of Mr. Bradford waa
worn. He waa a Jean Valjean in appear-
ance, stern enforcer of the law. But he
could not swear that It was II r. Bradford
who waa operating the machine.
"It waa a your man, wich a .round,
ruddy face, but the machine was . going
too fast," explained the policeman.
Judge Crawford looked at the pale face
of the prisoner before him. Plainly It was
not "ruddy" and perhaps not, young, and
the court said "discharged'
Redlck Pleads Not Oallty.
Assisted to the bar by his attorney,
"Chat" Redlck faced the stern court of
ficials. "Not guilty," was the plea. The
! officer said he could not Identify the pris
oner as the man who was pulling open the
gasoline plug when the number of the mi
chlno was taken. As Judge Crawford was
about to say discharged, the prisoner In
dicated by a faint geature that he wished
to he heard.
"I would like to know where the machine
waa exceeding the speed limit and when,"
said Mr. Redlck. "I discharge my men for
violating the law."
"Do you ever drive more than fifteen
miles per hour yourself?" asked the court,
serve Perfetto is to practice self-denial.
Always fresh and very delightful.

seeking to locate the true regard for the
law which Mr. Redlck has.
"Tea, 1 go more than fifteen miles per
hour sometimes, but when oue of my ma
chines exceeds the speed limit I want to do
the driving."
The vlgllansa which Mr. Redlck' uses In
keeping his assistants within the law was
a strong argument In favor of the prisoner
and he was discharged.
With his glasses adjusted, studying every
word of the complaint which he waa al
lowed to read, J. J. Derlght stood before
the bar with his right hand up. No sound
was heard In the court room, except the
breathing of the other prisoners, when Mr.
Derlght wss asked to plead. In a clear,
'Ins voice he responded "Not guilty,"
F. II. Galaea Hsa an Alibi.
As the officer csuld not Identify Mr.
Derlght as the man who had his fingers
on the air mixer when the chug-wagon
was tearing over the asphalt, the court
said "discharged."
Frank H. Gaines had an alibi. He had
not been In his machine on the day tht
numbers were taken. He could not have
exceeded the speed limit on foot. He was
discharged.
Lee McShane and P. Wells were also dis
charged, Mr. McShane because he could
not be Identified and Wells because he
did not know what the speed limit was,
and was a demonstrator, anyway.
From solitary confinement In one of the
police clerk's chairs, Charles H. Wilson
was led forward. There Is a number of
Charles Wilsons In Omaha. The prisoner
Is one of them. That Is all the officers
know about him. His name has never been
on the records or In the newspapers before.
He is little known Ih Omaha, except that
he has been driving an automobile since
last week.
Ob, It's a Clack.
"Guilty or not guilty," asked the court.
"I have a slow machine which cannot
posalbly go faster than thirty miles per
hour," said Wilson. "When the officer
took after me on motor cycles, I had the
levers one third open. I do not think I ex
ceeded fifteen miles per hour."
An officer testified, "I saw this man
coming down Farnam street at the rate of
forty miles per hour. W were running
our motor cycles after him and he left us,
though we were running them at top speed.
We chased him from Thirty-sixth and Far.
nam to the Henshaw hotel and arrestee'
him."
"Ten dollar and costs," said the court.
The case of George McLaln was con
tinued one day. Judge Crawford advised
the officers to get acquainted with promi
nent citizen or, better still, bring every
one to the police station who exceeds
the speed limit.

Florida Pineapples Are rientiful an.l
Will Be No Cheaper.
STRAWBERRIES HOLD FIRM
Promised Scarcity of Tomatoes la Bo
lasr Realised encumbers Rise
Radically la Price
8e Do Egi,
Now Is the time to boy pineapples, for
they are plentiful, of fine quality and will
be little If any cheaper. The Florida fruit
came In this week and Is selling from 10 to
S cents each according to slse. These
may be distinguished from the Cuban
fruit by their deeper yellow color and
fuller tuft. They are superior to the
Cuban pineapples, too, In flavor. Cuban
pineapples have sold very cheap the
past week and are still plentiful.
Fine flavored, large strawberries from
Missouri have been plentiful the last few
days and they have sold at 15 cents a
box. It Is doubtful whether there will be
cheaper berries than these, for there Is
great demand for them at home. The
home grown crop promises to be fairly
good and probably will bring about the
usual price when It come In.
The promised scarcity of tomatoes is
being realized. The Florida crop Is ex
hausted and the Texas crop will not be in
for a week. In the mean time the toma
toes to be had are selling at 15 cents a
pound.
California cherries are In and selling for
30 cents a pound, but It will be at least
three weeks before the California plums
and peaches come. In.
Cucumbers at 10 cents each are amazing
to all who have been buying them two
and three for E cents of late. This ad
vance Is caused by the exhaustion of the
supply which was over abundant last
week. Green peppers are cheaper, selling
three for 10 cent now. Wax and and string
beans sell for 6 and 10 cents a pound, ac
cording to quality, and asparagus sells
three bunches for 10 cents. All the fresh
green stuff Is cheap now. New potatoes
sell for 35 and 40 cents a peck. California
Cauliflower Is beginning to come In, but
the heads are small and sell for 15 cents
each.
Indication are that the apple crop will
last, until the new apples come In.
This week has brought an advance In
the price of fresh eggs which went from
17 to 20 cents a dozen a few days ago.
The package creamery butters sell at 28
cents a pound.
