WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (Special Tele
gram.) Marooned In Washington whfle
the electors of the nation were expressing
their Individual preferences st the polls
was ths embarrassing situation for at
least four Omaha cltltcns today,. W. C.
Lambert, John A. Rlne, J. A. C. Kennedy
and C. J. Smyth.
If only the supreme court had to set
snother date for argument In the ease
of Omaha against ths Missouri Pacific,
Lambert, Rlne and Kennedy would, have
been at home,.- but somehow the court
knows no amenities and In consequence
the case of the Missouri Pactrto Jftailway
company, appellant, against the City of
Omaha will be heard tomorrow on Its
merits. -
The rase Is original In many wsys and
so far as reports go a pioneer. It relates
to the order of the city of Omaha author
ising the Missouri Paelflc to construct a
viaduct over West Dodge street at Forty
sixth street, sufficient to carry ordinary
traffic. The railroad refused te build a
Viaduct to carry street cars, henoe 'the
suit on the part of the city which now
reaches the supreme court on the theory
ss represented by the railroad company
that the requirement of the city violates
Its rights under the constitution respect
ing Just compensation, due process of law
and equal protection ot the law. Messra
Rlne and Lambert will appear tomorrow
for the olty. J. A. C. Kennedy of Omaha
for the railroad company.
C. J. Smyth of Omaha, special counsel
for the government in railroad and tele
phone matters, srrived in Washington to
ds y for the purpose of asking an order
from the supreme court In the case of the
Oregon. A .California Railroad company
and the Southern Pacific Railroad company-directing
the circuit court of ap
peals of the. Ninth district to send up to
the supreme court the entire record In
the case. This Interview, Mr. Smyth
said, would be made on Monday. Like
his other brethren of the Omaha bar now
marooned In Washington by reason of
business, Mr. Smyth said lis would hsve
been delighted to be home to vote.

Rothwell Donies
Sesto's Statement
of Paving Fuss
Asserting that Farii Rothwetl an! A. A.
Arter threatened to "make trouble" If
he did not pay them t cents per yard on
a raving contract on Forty-eighth street
from Femam to California, awarded to
him. Paving Contractor Joe Sesto ap
peared before' the city commlsalon to
combat complaints of high assessments
In this district.
The residents say they have been as
sessed too much for the paving and thst
an attempt Is now being made to collect
money they do not owe. city Commis
sioner. Thomas McOovern declsred, how.
ever, that the assessments were reason
able. 'The council took no action.
Sesto ' asserts that Rothwell, a city
health. orIce employe, ani Arter, about
seven months ago, declared, to hsve
"promoted" "the paving In this district
and .demanded a commission. He says
he took the matter to a lawyer, who ad
vised him to Ignore the demands. This,
ha believes, caused Arter and Rothwell
to "stir up trouble" among the residents
of Forty-eighth street
"This whole thing Is wrong." says Ssm
Rothwell. "Sesto owes me nothing. I
have asked for him for nothing, want
nothing and am maklnir or threatening
no trouble of any kind for him. I havo
not represented his material, do not be
lleve Arter has and think Sesto must
hsve some other men confused In hi
mind with us. Am sure he Is wronfr
about me."
