Defending several pardons !ued ' by himaelf. Mayor Dahlman yeiter- day called Police Judge Foster to account (or hit criticism ot his.ac lion with retard to the pardons. The mayor, in a letter, severely . leorimanded the police magistrate , for several utterances made by him in court Thursday. "Many of the pardons granted by me are made necessary on account 's of the unjust- sentences imposed in i.. ponce court, ne saia. :x In one case in particular, ques iitioned by Judge Foster, the mayor y-characterized the magistrates action as "vicious." The mayor states that in the case of William Markovitr,' sentenced by Judge Foster several months ago for vagrancy, the judge did not take ' the trouble to investigate thoroughly - enough before sentencing the man. -'' Markovitz was pardoned by the mayor, following the plea of Attor i: tiey Winter, South Omaha. Accord- :,- ing to the mayor, following his par don, Markovitz returned to the country, where he had been steadily ; working, until his return to Umaha ' a few days ago when he was again arrested and sentenced to jail for . ',30 days on the same vagrancy 1 charge. "This Is not an Isolated case,", the .- mayor writes, you have done the rlsame thing in hundreds of others, r ' and in my opinion, you are not fit .-: to sit in a court ot justice. "Markovitz has respectable par ents, a sister working in the First National bank here and another sis ter is the employe of a local whole sale house, the mayor states.' Yout actions, in tha case have humiliated i and hurt them beyond all telling.' Approve Incorporation of Agricultural Loan Body V Lincoln, Dec. 2.(Special.) J. E.
