active warfare on the coal trust. At
torney- General Boyle is said to be in
possession of conclusive proof that the
coal companies had entered into COM
bine with the trust and are operating in
violation of the Far.elly antitrust law
of the last Legislature. Another reason
for the proposed fight is the claim that
the CO n panies are violating the law pro-

Transportation is giving the greater part Of
his time to getting the work of his de
partment under way. Up to this time
there has been little to be done, but with
the immediate prospect of active work on
the grounds his department is called into

becomes a live issue. The matter of put
ing construction tracks into the main court
OF the exposition was arranged Thursday, as
announced in these columns, and the ques-
ton of railway terminals will be the next
matter to be taken up,
1t has been practically determined that
he railway entrance to the exposition
| grounds shall be on the north side of the
old fair grounds, but the intricate details
| of connections have not yet been determined
upon. The Omaha Street Railway company
is also preparing to take up the question
Of reaching the grounds. and a committee
Of the directors has been appointed TO
confer with Manager Babcock regarding the
arrangement of street railway terminate at
the grounds. Until this is agreed upon no

YOUNG GETS A CLEAN BILL
Report That He Immediately Left Omaha
and Headed for Chicago.
POLICE JUDGE ORDERS A DISMISSAL
Court Holds that Because Defendant
offered to Pay for Tickets Pur-
chnscd OF PhiIbin There WAS
No Attempt to Dcfrnud.

A.. ID. Young, alias ]. b. York, charged
with obtaining 1868 OF railToad mileage from
Ticket Broker p. IL. Philbin, was discharged
yesterday by Police Judge Gordon and the
case dismissed. The dismissal was on the
motion of the defense, which did not intro
duce any testimony. but presented its mo-
ton Immediately after the state closed it's
case Thursday morning. The arguments
were commenced Thursday, but were post
poned by reason of the illness of Judge Cor
don. They were renewed again yesterday
and resulted in the dismissal OF the case
and the discharge Q, .he prisoner.
In rendering his decision, Judge Gordon
said that the transactions between Young
and the ticket broker appeared to be in the
nature of a contract. Young receiving the
tickets and promising to pay for them. The
judge said that there was TO indication that
the defendant intended to beat the ticket
bioker out Of his money because no demand
for it had been made before the defendants
arrest, The fact that after the arrest the
defendant offered to pay the amount alleged
in the complaint, did not indicate an intent
to defraud. This had been the line of argu
ment Of the defense.
TIL court did not remark at all upon the
fact that Young had given a fictitious name
N' - - '''AhANRN ''S 50
obtained the mileage. The state laid stress
upon this, but the defense held 1t lightly,
The latter maintained that 1t made no diff
ference whether Young lied about his name
and business, so long as he intended to full
fill his part of the contract by paying for
the books. The state alleged that the offer
to recompense Philbin was simply an effort
to condone the offense.
The decision was a surprise to Philbin and
his attorneys. As a result of it, the ticket
broker is about s63 loser. This is the diff
ference between the amount for which Young
confessed judgment in a justice court, $500,
and the value of the mileage books secured
by him. Before the case was tried, Young
offered this difference to Philbin, presumably
to settle, but the ticket broker refused the
offer.
1t is not known whether the brokers in
other cities in this vicinity who are Young's
creditors will try to get hold Of him. If they
do they will have to look for him IN other
places, however as it is understood that
he has departed for Chicago.
