BOWLER is FOUND GUILTY
Judge BerkA mpo.e Fins Of ESQ ara
Thirty Days In .CountS
Jail.

A. L. Bowler. colored, charged with dis
orderly conduct by making indecent remarks
to Mas Jean Kramer on the public streets,
was convicted In police court yesterday aft
ernoon and fined $50 and costs and sentenced
to thirty days in fail. The decision Of Judge
Berka was received with applause. Attor-
neys for the defence Immediately fled q
bond for an appeal to the district court
and a bill OF exceptions ''obiecting to every
thing connected with the case"
Ions before the case was called the court
room was packed to its utmost capacity
with q crowd Of people representing almost
every calling and every color. all eager to
hear every word OF testimony. Mr.. Kramer
was accompanied by her mother. Clement
Chase, Miss Caroline Fibiser and Miss Min
ME Kaplan. The latter two declared that
BowIer had insulted them as he had Miss
Kramer.
When the Ease was called Prosecutor
Thomas requested that the court room be
cleared. owing to the nature OF the testi-
mony that would have TO be given and to
save as much as possible the feelings of
Miss Kramer, Attorney Jeieris objected and
Judge Berka refused the request.
Miss Kramer was the nrst witness called.
Her testimony was substantially the same
as published at the time OF the arrest of
Bowler. With the consent of the court Miss
Kramer whispered the words spoken to her
by the negro to the Judge and the lawyers.
Miss Kramer testified In a firm low voice
and with a dignity and composure that
carried conviction.
Onacer Bloom who made the arrest was
the next witness. He testified that he had
known Bowler for fifteen years. and gave
details of the arrest.
Bowler Is 81 years of age, coal black and
medium height and weight. He resides Al
25e4 Burdette street and has been In omahs
since 1855. He denied in iota the story told
by Miss Kramer. and gave q eircumstantial
account of his conduct on the day Of his
arrest. 4E-
At, the conclusion of his tessmory Prose-
cutor Thomas called for MISS Minnie Kap-
Ian to be put on the stand and explaining
that a. Bowler had volunteered the intar-
nation that he had never sceosted a woman
he desired TO impeach his testimony. Mr.
Jefieris objected and the objection wa
sustained.
Bowler was the last witness and at the
conclusion of his testimony. Mr., ~Jefierii
introduced a motion. attacking the eonstitu,
tionality OF section 10, chapter xxIvii. COM
piled ordinance. the ordinance under which
the complaint was nled. The question wa
discussed at length by the opposing attor-
neys. after which Judge Berka promptly
overruled the objection.

BAD WALKS MAY Be COSTLY
Property Owners Nay Be Held for Damages
When Accidents Occur,
RECENT DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
City Ceases Z BE Liable After IL
Serves Notice on owner to re-
pair Defects In side
walks.

At the city hall there is being passed
about, with unconcealed satisfaction, a
copy Of the Northwestern Reporter for
March is, containing the syllabus OF a SUI
prene court ruling that is expected to save
Omaha money from this time forward. In
effect II declares valid and constitutional
IN ordinance making property owners la
BILE for damages when accidents occur on
sidewalks abutting their property II they
have been notified that such sidewalks are
in bad repair.
The decision was made in the appealed
case OF the city Of Lincoln against Janesch.
and Is considered a strong and far-reaching
one. The attorneys for the city are iubilant
and one Of them said yesterday morning:
I'VE will have a lot Of people on the
anxious seat. II has been the custsm Of a
good many Of them to laugh at us whea
told Of the bad condition OF their sidewalks.
but now when they learn that they must
bear the burden IL anything happens they
will cease to laugh and begin to mend. The
sidewalk inspector is out now and 1t will
be the plan to have him 60 over the whole
city examining the walks. Then every
property owner who has a defective one
viii be served with a written notice and a
return stub will be fled with the Board Of
Public Works. After that II an accident
occurs because Of failure to do the repair
ing the party notified will be dragged into
the suit as a defendant.
VIII Bring improvements.
This will catch a number OF foreign
companies and wealthy individuals who own
about one-hal: Of the bad sidewalks In
Omaha, and we will be able to get them to
do something in the way OF improvement.
1T has been suggested that a sidewalk
inspector be dispensed with and the police
men instructed to act in that capacity, but
this would be folly, for not one-fourth Of
the city is fully policed. while two-thirds
Of the damage suits brought against the
city on account Of bad sidewalks originate
in the outlying districts, but within the
city limits.
There will come a time, and it is not
very far distant, when Omaha will have
less trouble OF this kind, however, for the
! council has tabooed plank walks and the
chances Of accident on cinders or cement
are very small except, Of course, in win

franchise, but an asement This IL true
as regards the street railway company. An
easement or municipal franchise differs
from a corporate franchise In that Il lacks
the power Of perpetuity and for that reason
can't be regarded as a distinct entity.
The Omaha Street Railway company has
three Of these easements. which are per-
mits or privileges granted II By the city
to lay tracks and run cars over certain
specified streets, and they cover various
periods Of time. One OF them. l remember.
is very short-lived and expires. I think.
in sixteen years. But the company itself
may live fifty or even 100 years Now then,
It will be readily seen that the easement
can't. be considered as part OF the COM
pany. because they are not co-extensive in
point Of duration. To tax the easement
would be to tar a thing that does not ex-
ist."
1T will be sixteen years yet before the
easement, as you call 1t, will pass out Of
existence" said Mr.. Mcintosh. Would It
be improper to tax It in the m~esnumef"
Mr.. Webster answered that he wasn't
ready as yet to TAX up that phase OF the
case.
Mr.. Mcintosh asked another question:
mr.. Justice Brewer says that what prop
erty is worth for income and sale It is
eAG0 IL y Aa4eNA1h 0C gON aNAH AhaN
this applies to the street railway company
Mr.. Webster replied that he would re-
serve the right to follow his own plan OF
argument.
when he feels the thorn puncturing his
logic. your honor" said he, he tries to
draw me away by asking incompetent ques-
tions, hoping that both the court and I
will forget about it."
Remedy IL the Ballot.
Mr.. Webster vent on to say that the
people have a remedy against unequal taxa
ton, and that that remedy lies in the power
to elect officers who will obey the law By
assessing a uniform tax. In support OF
this be cited a Missouri case. The Board
Of Education Of st. Louis applied 10 the
state supreme court for a writ Of man
damus to compel the state assessing board
to assess property at its fair cash value
and the writ was denied. The reason for
the denial was that the people had the
right TO elect assessors who would obey
the law; that the presumption was that
these assessors had obeyed the Law. there
being no evidence to the contrary. and that
the court did not feel warranted in taking
evidence on that point.
Now" he resumed, 81 can readily an
ticipate the position which the court will
take on this case. L should like to know
why they didn't complain against every
wholesale house in omahaT It will say,
as well as against the corporations. They
fall as well within the scope Of their com
plant, and since the complaint refers only
to the corporations it smacks Of an Interior
purpose. Of prejudice, and a disposition to
be unfair. 1t is not honest; It Is not up
right, and we can grant no such writ"
The hearing adjourned at 4 o'clock and
viii be taken up again at 10 o'clock Mon
day morning. 1t is likely that Mr.. Web
ster will have finished By Monday noon
when the admission of testimony will begin.

AN UNEXPECTED ANSWER.
Bright Young Scholars Response tO Bright Young Teacher in the
 SIum District.

She was a bright young teacher in charge of bright young class, com posed of many foreign children. To increase their vocabulary she had hit on a guessing game. She told the class of what she was thinking, and they named the object.
 This time she had thought of the word birthday" says the New York Telegram, and the lesson went on 1n this fashion,:
 .Now, little folks. I'm thinking of something you all have. You don't have it very often-just once every year. Even I have one. What is it? I'll give you a minute to think, and, when you are sure you know, raise your hand"
 Hands began to go up rapidly.
 sMy!'' said this bright young teach-' CT, ''I really think I have the best little folks in all this big school. They all think so fast, and I kr@w they are thinking of the very thing thought. Pm going to let Morris tell. I'm sure he knows.'''
 Morris rose to his>~et and stood in the aisle in true military position; and like a shot from gun, in response to the teachers ''Tell us what 1t IS, Nor ris," came the ready answer:
 "A clean undershirt, teacher!"

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

A considerable audience is in attend ance at the Jacques this afternoon, be- ing attracted by the desire to see Bat tvs Bears and the vaudeville stars who are appearing in the bill with the performing bruteS. AS announced several days ago, Manager Poli has had to file a $15.000 bond in order to exhibit the bears here because of liti- gation in which their owner has been involved in New Haven as a result of one of them biting off a boys foot last Monday in New Haven. The mishap occurred, of course, outside of the theater and was the boys fault entirely; on the stage the animals are perfectly docile and obey promptly and submissively the slightest com mands of their handlers. It was be- cause of the great sensation they made in New Haven and the tremendous novelty they proved that Manager Poli has brought them to the Jacques, filing the big bond to permit of their being moved. He feels confident that Waterbury people will find these peo- pie will find these bears the same eX- traordinary attraction they proved in New Haven. and that tlsey will be talked of all over town before this day shall have passed. In addition to the bears MT Poli offers great collection of vaudeville stars, including the ''un- bleached American" Ernest Hogan; Crawford and Manning, Miss Margar- ct Webb, Allen May and company, Dempsey and Wright and many oth- CTS. Prices are 10 and 20 cents after noons, ladies 10; evening prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents.

FOREST PARK.

It was a record breaker, the attend ance at Forest park for the opening week, and the management feel so en- couraged that they have decided to keep only the best class of vaudeville talent for the entertainment of those who desire to attend. The manage ment also intends to see to it that no rowdy element will be allowed on the grounds There were several attempts at this last week, but they were promptly crushed and will be in the future. The management want the children, the ladies and the gentlemen and no one else. and all such will be given a warm welcome and furnished with only the best of entertainment. Manager Hanna has secured for this week an entirely new vaudeville bill and it is a hummer. Manuel Romain is not unknown to lovers of good tenor singing in this city and he will be one of the stars. The Laskeys will appear in a unique musical act; B. Bryan and Nadine, comedy acrobats. feature of which is the barrel jumping of Miss Nadine; Dan Simons, the funny tramp comedian, and Murphy and Andrews in an operatic act. This makes up program that will be a corker. There will be two performances every day. at 3:3O and at in the evening.
