SHALL. JUDGES BE ANSWERABLE TO
RICHARD CROKER FOR THEIR ACTS?
While the whole question Of an independent
judiciary is crystallized in the candidacy OF
Justice DAILY. Il is equally bound up in the
causes OF William ~ Cohen. Henry w. Taft
and George c. Austin. What Mr.. Croker said
about the demands he made on Justice DAILY
formulates principle which governs the other
judgeshils as well. To insure a bench that

1t happens that Mr. Croker's ire is directed
against a man whose fitness. through expe-
rience. temperament and intellect. is altogether
admirable. For twenty years Justice

York. His learning IS wide and deep Original

years old. His brother is Augustin DAILY. the
weu-known theatrical manager. Their father
was a shipowner. He died soon after the birth
OF the present Judge. and the family subse-
Quenty removed to this city. Justice Daily was
admitted TO the bar in 1862. Soon he became
actively identified with public affairs. At the
age Of twenty-nine he elected 10 the Court
Of Common Pleas. In 1884 he reelected.
That he esteemed and honored by his COL
leagues is shown by the fact that they in 1890
chose him to be Chief Justice OF the court. His
elevation 10 his present seat the bench Of
the Supreme Court occurred in 1894. IN conse-

years been president OF the Catholic Club whose

Though not Of long a career on the
bench as his colleague Justice William Nathan
Cohen is also seeking re election. He Is a
Republican. Since he was appointed to the
Supreme Court last year he has given ample
proof Of his usefulness and ability. AS a
lawyer he took high rank. owing to his quick
insight into legal problems and displayed
talents which have amply INDICATED the wis
dom Of his appointment 1t was by sheer force
Of ambition that Justice Cohen rose to the
place he now occupies. His introduction TO the
legal profession was as an office boy at 81 30 a
week He was then thirteen years old. Four
years later he determined to acquire a good
education. and began to prepare himself for
college. Entering Dartmouth in 1875. he sue
ceeded in paving his own way. save for some
money advanced by his former employer. In
the winter he taught school and in the sum-
ner worked in a law Office. After his gradua-
ton in 1879 he went to the Columbia Law
School, being at the same time a clerk in the
law firm of Morrison. Lauterbach & Spingarn.
In 1883 he admitted 10 the firm. The style
afterward changed to Hoadly. Lauterbach
& Johnson. but he continued with It until in
1897 Governor Black appointed him to the
bench 10 succeed the late Justice Sedgwck.
The Bar Association and the Bar generally
asked his denomination by both parties. thus
showing that a judge he had won the APP
proval Of those called on to practise before him.
But Mr.. Croker knew that Justice Cohen would
be quite as Independent Of him Justice DAILY.
and fefused to accede to the request Of the
lawyers.
For the third place on the Supreme Court
ticket the Republican candidate is a man
who. though not quite forty years old. has been
prominent in city affairs for some years.
Henry Waters Taft is known Gs excellent
lawyer and for the activity he has displayed in
educational affairs. In Yale. where he was
graduated in 1880 he was conspicuous in ath-
lerics, social life and scholarship Since 1850 he
has practised law here, having been engaged in
numerous lltigations where large interests were
involved. The Bar Association has for eight

AWARDS FOR THE PIGEONS.
Prizes in That Department of the
Poultry Show in Market
Hal

One minute before 10 o'clock last
night g chorus of ROSTERS croWed lus-
thy in Market hall. But, as the court
house clock struck the hour, the arc
lights went out and left the hall and
the chandeliers in darkness. This put
an end to the chorus, but a few Of the
more independent cocks refused to be
silenced and continued to proclaim
their supremacy over all other fowl
The attendance on the second day of
the show was much larger than that of
the second day a year ago, when the
birds were exhibited on East Seventh
street, between Robert and Minnesota,
in quarters far more convenient and
easier to reach than the Market hail

ing. The judge assigned to the pigeon

The statement that the Milwaukee
road would shorten the running time
of its fast mail train between Chicago
and st. Paul and Minneapolis, printed
In this column a week ago, was con-
Hrmed yesterday when 1t was officially
announced. This train will leave Chi
cago as at present at 8. a. M, but on
and after next Sunday it will arrive at
Milwaukee at 4:05 a. m, La Crosse at
1892 a. M, and st. Paul at l o. M, in
stead of 2 o'clock as now.
The fact that both the Northern Pa
ctf1c and Great Northern roads will at
the same time start their coast trains
from here at 1:30, instead of at 4:30 has
also been noted in this paper
Officials Of the Milwaukee say that
this train will be no experiment, it hav-
ing been frequently necessary, under
the present eleven-hour schedule, to
make up time lost waiting in Chicago
for delayed mail connections from the
East. More than once the 402-mile run
mas been in not more than nine hours.
owing to the time agreement with
other roads, the Milwaukee cannot
make the passenger time less than
thirteen hours and twenty minutes. so
this fast mail will carry no passengers
out OF Chicago. A coach or two has
been attached at Milwaukee, and it is
probable this will be continued under
the reduced time schedule, unless the

After the taxation question had been
talked over the question of perfecting
an organization to be called the Munich

The proposition did not meet with a
general approval and was laid over I'M
til next Tuesday night, when a similar
meeting will be held for the purpose of
perfecting some kind of taxpayers
organization.
The city railway company was the
next ION the programme, quite a little
time was spent talking over the ordi-
nance which was passed by the council
last week, and is now in the hands Of
Mayor Doran awaiting his approval.
Mr.. Reardon said the council had by
voting the extention of the franchise,
voted away what could be easily sold
for 81 ,0000 900. Mayor Doran had not
signed the ordinance as yet, and
thought if there was a vigorous protest
from the taxpayers, he would refuse
to sign the ordinance.
Messrs. c. Walblom, J. Schoonmaker,
and L. Nash, were appointed a commit
tee to present the following resolution
to Mayor Doran this morning:
Whereas, The city council of st. Paul has
passed an ordinance granting to the st.
Paul City Railway company fifty years
franchise of the so-termed Selby avenue
line, permitting the substitution of electri-
city for the present motive power, with the
privilege of charging scent fare during
the life of said franchise, and
Whereas, The city of st. Paul receives no
adequate compensation in return for said
valuable privileges; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, duly qualified taxpay-
ers of the municipality, herewith request his
honor, Mayor Doran, to refuse his indorse-
ment of said ordinance, as it is in our
judgment inimicaI to the best interests Of
st. Paul and its future generations.

MRS. STUTZMAN WINS,
Judge Otis Finds She Is Entitled to
$3.50 and interest

T..
Judge Otis fled findings yesterday in the
equity suit brought by Mrs. Catherine Stu z
man against Jacob Stutzman Jr. and her
other step-children to compel an accounting
concerning their disposition of the proceeds
of the sale of certain land In Barnes county.
plaintiff
Mrs Stutzman, the plaintiff, is the widow
OF Jacob StutZman, who at the time of his
death owned certain real estate in Barnes
county, n. D.
The decree of the probate court of that
county assigned the real estate to the STEP
children to the exclusion of the widow
Subsequently the defendants sold the prop
erty, realizing $2,551 thereon, but neglected
to turn over any part thereof to the pain
Judge Otis finds that the defendants did
not make any false statements to the pro-
bate court of Barnes county, and that the
clusion of the plaintiff wholly by inadver-
tence and by the mistake of the attorney
conducting the proceedings, and not with in
tent to cheat Mrs. StutZman.
AS soon as the error was discovered, 1t
was agreed between the widow and the
children, so the court finds, that her rights
should be preserved as though she had been
named in the decree, and that when the real
estate should be sold Mrs. Stutzman should
receive her lawful share-one-th of the
net proceeds.
The The land was sold on April 1s, 1892 for
S2999.50, less $441.61 paid for taxes, leaving
s2,551.S9, left to be divided. The plaintiff
was entitled to S85063.
Judge Otis finds that upon receipt of the
proceeds the defendants wrongfully appro-
priated the whole thereof to their own use
to the exclusion Of Mrs. Catherine Stutzman,
and have refused to pay over to her the
amount due. The court declares that she is
entitled to judgment against the defendants
for $S50.63 with interest at Z per cent from
April &c. 1892.
