JUDGE ELDICK DECIDES CASE

Th namofl of the men nominated by the
republican and democratic city committee
for th Board of Fire and police Commis
sioners and city engineer wilt go upon the
ballot a party candidate.
Judge Redlck granted. Saturday morning
the mandamus against City-Clerli Butler
prayed for by the candidates chosen by
the committee.
Judge Redlck declared that the statute
Involved must be construed liberally and
that, first of all. It must be held that It
waa th plain lntenc of the legislature In
providing for primary elections not to de
prive political parties of the right to
nominate candidates. Vacancies in the of
fice In question, occurred a soon aa the
law waa enacted making these office elec
tive. The law provide that vncanoles In
a party ticket occurring after a primary
election shall be filled by the city or
county or' atst committee a the case
may be. '
Now, thai actual voting at th primary
ocourred after the law making the offlcca
elective had been passed. The court held
that If the failure to nominate by either
part? at the primary had been In default
or omission through .negligence, then the
city committee would have no right to
act, for the, law apeak only of vacancies
after primary
How ta Coast roe th I.atr. .
' Sinew there Is a thirty-day provision with
legard to filing for primary nomination
and since this date back of the day th
legislature enacted the " law,'- the primary,'
said Judge Redlck, must tie understood to
have been begun thirty days previous U
th day voting waa' actually done. Inter
pretlng the law this way It leavea vacanci
in party tlcketa not filled by the voting a
the primary, which vacancies the city com
mlttee have the right to fill.
When Judge Redlck had ruled granting
the mandamus which order the city clerk
to place on the official ballot 'the names
of the ten candidates in question, the
olnt was raised as to whether the name,
go on the voting machine or on an add!
tlona! printed ballot. - The fourt did no
declare himiolf on the question. It waa
not set forth in th petition for a man
damua.
City Attorney Burnam and Drputy At tor
ney Dunn have declared that the machine
will not Include the name of all the forty
eight candldatea tor the Board of KTre and
Police CommUaionera.
In this they are mistaken aa matter of
fact. It la not likely that the name of
the party candldatea will go on the ma
chine and the tndupender.ta on the bal
lot, and the city con nil t toes are Insistent
that thone who wish to vote a s,tralch
ticket, either on the machine or entirely
by ballot, shall have the opportunity. The
law In this la f)laln and simple, saying "no
voting machine shall be approved unlee
It I o constructed that It Insures every
voter so desiring the opportunity to vote
a straight party ticket by the operation of
a single device (lever)."
Elmer Thomas, who appeared In the
cases as an lntervenor, filed exception
with Judge Redlck a to law and to fact
laying particular etifss on a offering to
prove that the old committee of the
republican pffrty waa without authority
and that the democratic committee acted
without a quorum. Judge Redlck over
ruled this on the ground that the law
states that objection to certificate of
nomination must b filed jaithln three
day. .
Thorns completed hi record for ap

court Monday evening.

Jim Collins is Said to Have Caught
Many on His Fancy
John Hancock.
A series of smajl forgeries, covering a
period of six months and involving many
grocery store, saloons and other business
houses, Is alleged against Jim Collins, the
man arrested Saturday by Patrolman Con
nelly and Borto after Fred Amburat, a
grocer at Twenty-third and Vinton streets,
had caahed a check for him. The csalstant
county .attorney haa already found several
cases against the man and haa drawn up
complalnte 'on them. He will probably file
them in police court Tuesday morning.
Besides Amburst the police say there
are many other victims of Collins' ability
aa a signer of checks. Chief of Detectlvea
Bavage says that among the storekeeper!
and business houses where the man has
secured money on check are the following:
George H. Wachter, saloon, Sixteenth and
Martha streets; O. E. Johnson, grocer, 2330
South Twentieth atreet; Frit Bclmer, 73
South Sixteenth street; John Nettler. 3223
South Twenty-fourth treet; Reed Bros.,
grocer. X23 Leavenworth atreet; Hayden
Bros. 8IXtnth and Dodge streets.
At the Wachter saloon Collins Is said to
have cashed a. $13 check. Grocer Johnson
let go of $11 on a fU check, according to
the police, while Golllna secured the change
from a 8 check at the Amburst grocery
Saturday after buying a. pound of butter.
Th other amount were also small.
It Is believed that Collins la not the man'
real name, but he refuses to tell the police
and will not give his addresa. He makes
no confession in any of the cases.

DR. R. FARBER ON ZIONISM
II Sara There la No Doabt 'of th
Practicability of This
Teaching.
"The practicability of Zionism I nut
doubted among th people who have given
It aome study," declared Dr. R. Farber In
a lecture Sunday evening to the Zionist
of Omaha. "Zionism haa accomplished
more tor the Jewish nation In the ten or
twelve years of Its modern existence than
any other movement of the past. It has
cauaed Jewry through the world to awaken
and see what Is about It It haa been the
factor which has brought about unity In
a ineaaure where nono existed. Zionism
liaa shown the wor'd that Jew I not yet
dad, nor I he ready to die. That he I'
still alive and that the flag which haa
been packed away for eo many cmttifles
la not yet surrendered, but that It shall
wave once more undor the heavens of a
united Israel. The fact that the Jews havV
been so mistreated throughout the ceniJ
turles gone by, and still retain their Iden
tity Is due to their careful home religious'
education and training. The traditions of
old Is what kept this old wandering people,
in existence. It Is that which kept them
surviving, though they were burned at the
stake and tortured with untold agonies.
And It Is this which mustNhe done now In
order to bring about a rehabilitation of our'
people Instruct the new and young genera
tion In our old Jewish history and religion.''
