COURT MAKES MISTAKE
COURT-MAR,TIAL VERDICT AT FIT.
SMELLING IS DISAPPROYED.

Gen. Otis yesterday filed an order dis
approving Of the findings in the court
martial of Private James Redmond at
Fort Smelling, charged with violating the
sixty-second article of war. The sentence
was that Redmond be dishonorably~ dis
charged from the service, FORGETTING all
pay due him and to be confined at hard
labor at such a place as the reviewing
authority might select for a period OF
six months.
The order disappearing of the sentence
says:
1.-THE proceedings in the foregoing case
Of Private James Redmond, Company B,
Eighth infantry, are disapproved for the
following reason, VIZ: After all the testi-
mony had been submitted and the court
closed for elaboration, the juoge advo-
cate was recalled by it for information
and consultation. The proceedings recite
that he appeared before the court while
in closed session and furnished the in
formation desired. This action on the
part Of the court evidently vitiates its
proceedings and renders them fatally de-
fective.
1.-THE findings and sentence of the court
are disapproved. Private Redmond will
be released from confinement, but will
be casually held at Fort Smelling, Mime
sofa, awaiting further orders which will
determine his final disposition.

DEVELOPMENTS EXPECTED.
Spa1ding still Trying to ArranEx.
Purchase Of New VorI- C1uh

Spalding Still Trying to ArranE<.
Purchase of New York Club.
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Some interesting
developments in the baseball fight may
be expected during the next few days
A. G. Spalding, the enjoined president
of the National league, returned yester-
day, and from reports that preceded him
from Aiken, S. c., he has been very
active during his two weeks sojourn in
the South.
Spalding stopped at Washington to con-
fer with N. E. Young. The latter, by the
way, makes a general Genial of recent In
tervieWs credited to him. in which he
was quoted as saying that he was COM
piling a schedule and attending to otner
preliminary work.
While in Washington Mr.. Spalding ad-
mitted having had several conferences
with E. B. Talcott from whom Andrew
Freedman purchased his controlling in
terest in the New York club in 1904. Mr..
Talcott, according to Spalding, is pre-
pared to purchase Mr.. Freedman's stock
at reasonable figure. The offer will be
made In a few Gays, but it is reasonable
to believe that Mr.. Freedman will not
sell at any price. Failing in this, it is said
that new club will be organized in this
city.
'Mr. Talcott will not give $1,000,000 for
the franchise said Mr.. Spalding en-
phatically, "but he is not unwilling to be-
come a club owner once more if a trans
fer of the property can be negotiated.
For my part, I believe that the citizens
Of New York would be glad to see him
| connected again with a New York nine.
If Mr.. freedman and his associate stock
holders are disposed to accept the situa-
ton, and want to negotiate with Mr.. Tai
colt and name q reasonable Inquire, / feel
sure that Mr.. Talcott will seriously con-
slider coming back into baseball
Suppose Mr.. Freedman does not care
to sell?''
THAT is Mr.. Freedman's affair. mere
ly know that the opportunity exists, and
instead of injuring Mr. F'reedman's prop
erty rights, as has been charged in real
ity l have found purchaser for his club.
| l presume purchasers might be found for
Mr.. Brushs team and for Mr.. Robson 8
team should u.ley care to dispose of their
baseball belongings
Mr.. Spalding made note of the fact that
a check was received at his office today
| for $2,64125, the principal and interest on
bonds of the New York club that were
| issued some seasons ago.
I when in Washington, he added. 81
had a long talk with Mr.. Teung, and
know even more about the contents of
that mysterious trunk than did before.
There were some references to unpaid OBJ
legations that they did not want me to

Andrew Freedman returned from Lake
wood, n. J., today, and reiterated the
statement previously made by him that
the New York club was not for sale.

ALDERMEN VOTE TO REIMBURSE
AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT co.
FOR GASOLINE LIGHTING
RIVAL BIDDER A SPECTATOR
Representative of Cleveland Vapor
Company Attends Last Nights
Meeting-Payne Avenue
Paving Held Up.

In the form Of a resolution by Aid.
Dahlquist the board of aldermen last
evening took the initiatory steps to re-
imburse Robert Seeger, of the American
Development company, for the lighting
of the streets of the city with gasoline
during the period for which there is no
contract in effect. This resolution mere
ly provides for the payment to Mr.. See
ger of the sum of $3.50 for lighting the
streets on the night of Jan. 3, but as
it was unanimously passed by the nine
members on the floor, it is to be pre-
sumed that it will be followed by others
of a similar character One of the at
tracted spectators at the meeting Of last
evening was Mr.. Patterson, of the Cleve-
land Vapor Light company, and his pres
ence at this time is taken as an indica
ton that he intends to compete for the
street lighting contract when bids are
opened Jan. IA
A resolution revolling the license Of
George w. Sinks as scavenger was moved
by Aid. Dobner, who urged its passage
by the board on the ground that Mr..
Sinks was now being accorded hearing
in the assembly and would receive full
justice there. Aid. Murphy thought the
board should judge for itself in this mat
ter, and should not pass the resolution
without giving Mr.. Sinks a hearing. The
resolution was lost by vote Of to 4.
A resolution by Aid. Dahlquist to IL
cense hotel runners was introduced, but,
upon his own motion, it was referred
back to the city attorney for amendment.
The board passed an ordinance to
amend the ordinance of Feb. TO- 1892 set
ting aside property for the use of lne
public library. The effect Of this amend
nent is to include in the description or
the property dedicated lot 8 OF Bazille
& Guerin's addition as well as lots 10,
II, u, Is and IA In the original ordinance
lot was omitted through a clerical err
ror.
Fhe board held up the order of the pub
lie works for the paving Of Payne ave-
nue., for the reason that it has been
made to appear to some of the members
that the property owners desire the entire
street paved with asphalt instead of part
with that material and part with sand
stone blocks.
Permission was granted to the North
western Telephone company to erect poles
and string wires on Rice street, from
Como to Front; Atwater, from Rice to
Como: Arundel, from Atwater to Front;
Front, from Arundel to Lexington, and
in the alley between Portland and Ash
land, from Victoria to Lexington, as re-
quested by the park board.

FORGOT THEIR DIGNITY
RIVAL POLICE JUDGES MAKE A
SCENE IN OMAHA COURTS

OMAHA, Neb. Jan. Two police
judges, each with a number of supporters,
held court at the same time in the po-
lice court room today, and the result was
the forcible election of one Of them by
the police. Judge Berka, the newly
elected judge, held the bench, while Judge
Gordon, who claims to hold over on the
supposition that the election of Berka
was illegal, pulled a table IN front Of
him and raped for order.
Judge Berka had the support of the
police, and Gordon was recognized by the
county authorities. Befka appeared in
the court room first, mounted the bench
and began hearing grist Of cases. Cor
don came in a little. later and attempted
to also take chair on the bench. The
police, however, forced him to a chair
outside the railing. Judge Gordon then
pulled up a table and began hearing a
case brought by the county attorney
Berlza ordered the police to EJECT the
Judge and two b1uecoats took him by
the coat collar and hustled him out, not
however, until he had declared court ad-
journed. Another scene %expected to-

of my predecessor, but the fees Of the

friendly, and he has been of great serV-
ice to me in getting started.

near Morrisville, Pa, were removed here
today. There were 166 blooded horses in
the string and they were brought here by
order Of the Philadelphia Brewing COM
pany, Of Philadelphia. The Fasig-Tipton
company, of New York, managed the
transfer of the stock. The horses will
be offered at public sale in Madison
Square Garden, New York. beginning

mated at $25O,OO0. Last April the own
ers Of the Philadelphia Brewing COM
pany made the discovery, it is alleged,
that the manager Of their brewery, John
Mcclellan, was short in his accounts. Es-
Inmates placed the reputed amount as
high as 100000. Much of this alleged
shortage was recovered, however, when
the brewing company attached the horses
and other property found in McGeehan's
possession, the latter having purchased
the Penn Valley stock farm. Mcclellan
was indicted by the grand jury at Phila-
delphia, and is now under bail awaiting
trial. 1t was to avoid possible legal
complications that today,s removal of the
horses was effected. The stud includes
