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.
