16 THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1909. SIIOTWELL SHOOTS ANOTHER Points Out" How Neatly a City Ordi nance ii Put to Sleep. yrnT.T.TTTTTi BY DELAY IN COUBT Mi-nnrt ProvMIn Lleenses lor llotormen Still Ress l rmv on the Docket of Jadft Retell. The practical nullification of city ordi nance U cited by Attorney F. A. Shotwell In support of his thesis that unnecessary delays do occur In district court. "Everyone seems tt have forgotten," says Mr. fihotwell. "that early In October the city" council of Omaha passed! an ordinance providing for the licensing of motormen employed by the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway 'company. The ordinance, which was No. 6872, was first passed, then vetoed by Mayor Dahlman and then passed ever the veto. "October John h. Webster, as attorney for the street railway company, filed a pe tition In district iourt for an Injunction against the enforcement of the ordlnanoe. He went first to Judge Estelle, on whose docket the case was entered, and finding him out of town that day went to Judge Redick. JJdge Redlck granted a restrain ing order and made this returnable Ootober 27. The argument October 27 was, of couikc, to be before Judge Estelle. Again Ustelle U Afcsent. "The day set, attorneys for tho city filed A motion to strike a number of paragraphs from plaintiff's petition and the attorney appeared In Judge Estelle's court room at the hour named. But Judge Estelle had gain to be out of the city. "Since then not one thing has been done In the matter and the restraining order remains In effect. "A restraining order Is, of course, an emergency grant. Intended to provide tem porary and Immediately necessary rellif. Whether or not a restraining order should have been- allowed In this case Is not Im portant, and may be admitted to have been right. "The point I wish to make la this: For nearly two months, through the district court of Douglas county, a oity ordinance has remained In a state of nullity. "Now, the chief blame for this state of affairs does not devolve Immediately and directly upon the d 1st riot court, except In one way. The city attorney's office ap pear! to be lax In pushing a hearing on the question whether the restraining ordvr should be dissolved or. whether a tem porary injunction should Issue. Up to tbe City Attorney. "It is up to the city attorney to go Into court and Insist on a hearing. But he has not done so. Consequently the district court Is In the condition of being used to void a city ordlnanoe without due process of law. It would be unusual for ft Judge to call up such a question as this until one or other party came Into court and asked for a hearing. But If the court wishes to It might take the Initiative in order to clear Its dockets. "All this la entirely beside the question whether the ordinance Is or Is not a good one. I do not charge and do not believe that either Judge Estelle or City Attorney Burnam. Is Influenced by any Improper motive whatever In the matter and eruch an Inference would be undoubtedly unjust. But that this delay has occurred and might well continue a long time Is alto gether Indisputable. The facts are plain. The records are In the office of the clerk of the district court." Wharton Robbed at Y. M. C. A. Bath Loses Valuable Diamond and Watch ; and May Swear Off Bathing aa Result. John C. Wharton la revolving in his mind the propostton, doee it pay to take a bath? Of one thing he ia certain It does not if all baths cost as much aa the one he took Wednesday, at the Young Men's Christian association. This little plunge cost Mr. Wharton a die mon stud valued at SIM, a fine watch and Chain and about 17 in cash. These articles were taken from his clothing which hung in locker No. 89, while he waa enjoying the refreshing effect of his plunge. It la believed some scamp whose eagle eye alighted on Mr. Wharton's glittering diamond, wormed himself Into a corner of the Toung Men's Christian association aa Mr. Wharton went in and got lay on the ground.
