& a TALK FROM THE JUDGE.
He Wants Policemen to BE on Hand in
the Municipal Court.

Judge Glasgow made a little speech in
the municipal court yesterday afternoon
His sentences were short, sharp, crisp and
delivered In a tone that did not allow OF a
DEMONSTRATION. The substance OF the
discourse was that IL policemen are not en-
hand in the future at the time their cases
are set for trial. he will see that they are
brought into eourt
Matte Burns and Mary Wilson had been
arrested on the charge OF taking W. C.
Davihson's silver watch. Detective Phil
brick assisted Detective Sam Corbett In
making the arrest. but through misun-
derstandlng neither was present when the
case was called. The Judge remarked that
Il was the duty of the arres,ing officers TO
be present Judge Iadd. who represented
the defendants, arose and remarked:
your honor, the defendants have com
piled with the requirements and are In

Well" replied the Judge, II want the
officers to understand that II il their duty

them into court. The defendants are Dis
charged"
Miss Burns and Miss Wilson then walked

THE n. p. REORGANIZATION
Nearly All the Obstacles 20 tho Elan
Have Been Removed.

Milwaukee. April 4.-Johnson LIVINGSTON.
representing the general second mortgage
bondholders OF the Northern Pacifc. mas
filed an amended answer In the United
States court. admitting all OF the allega-
tons of the complaint filed originally by
the Farmers Loan and Trust Company.
This action shows that almost every obsta-
Gle I'm the way of the reorganization plan
has been removed, as the general mort
gage bonGhoiders were among those from
whom trouble was most feared.
Mr.. Livingston's first answer was filed
on March 2, and caused CONSERVATION
among Northern Pacific security holders,
because it claimed priority for the second
mortgage bonds over not only the third
mortgages, but the consolidated deben-
lures. and attacked the validity of the re-
ceivers' certificates. These claims are now
abandoned
All that now stands in the way OF the
reorganiza ton plan IS the objection OF the
third mortgage bondholders and the claim
of the Wisconsin Central Company that
all the bonds Of the Northern Pacific are
void for neglect in complying with the
terms of the charter in the Issuance.
