BILL FOR MUNICIPAL COURT
Measure Will Be introduced to Sup
plant Justices of Peace.
YOUNG LAWYERS ARE BACK OF II
COntemplntes Three Judge and Clerk,
with stated Salaries and PROVE
sion that City Gets
the Fees.

A municipal court for Omaha Is the object
OF one bill to be introduced in the coming
legislature. This court contem-
plates the elimination of the Justice of the
peace office, though another measure will
be introduced. to effect this second purpose.
The municipal court bill will provide that
licensed lawyers only shall be eligible to
sit on the new bench.
Young attorneys of Omaha are back of
the bill and W. p. Thomas, member-elect
of the house. to whom three rough drafts
of the measure have been presented, prob
ably will introduce It. But until he has
thoroughly investigated the proposition Mr..
Thomas will not express his approval or
d%isapproval OF the bill.
The proposed municipal court would be
presided over by three lawyers, each of
whom must have had at least three years
practice in the courts. The judges would
hold court every day and changes of venue
could be taken from one municipal court to
another, though not to the county court.
The municipal court would have the same
jurisdiction as the county court in civil and
criminal cases, but not in probate work.
The county court is really a probate court
and by the establishment of a municipal
court the county bench would be relieved
of the extra work.
The Judges of the municipal court would
receive a yearly salary of 81 800 each, and
the fees collected would be turned over to
the city. Those behind the bill believe
that the city would make money on the
proposition. The courts would have a
clerk who must report to the city treas
urer once a month of all fees collected.
The clerk would receive 81, 200. The Judges
md rIarL uyould ha opnninfad hyy tho n uOr
and confirmed by the city council.
The legislature of 1897 passed a municipal
court bill, but the law was in operation less
than a year when 1t was declared uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court. This old
law provided that the municipal court
should have exclusive jurisdiction over all
civil cases amounting to $1,000. The state
constitution provides that all courts in the
state of a class shall have the same juris-
diction and the same procedure. The word
exclusive In the old bill usurped the
~perogatives of the county and district
courts and for this reason II was declared
unconstitutional. Under the new law, pro-
viding 1t is enacted, civil action can be
brought in the other courts If the peti.
TONERS wish.
John d. Ware, George A. Magney and
Harry E. Burnam were the judges of the
old municipal court of ten years ago, ap.
pointed by Governor Holcomb.
There are six Justices of the peace II
Omaha, lone OF whom has been admitted
to practice law. They are paid by fees.
With the municipal court the judges woult
be paid a salary and it would be i'm.
material to them how many cases wert
tried a day.
The Nebraska constitution has a pro
vision giving the right to establish munici
pal courts in metropolitan cities.

MGoVERN FLOORS OLD MAN
Democratic Councilman Knocks Down
Taxpayer Who Protests on
Street Assessment.

Bath House. John CoughIan of Chi
cago is not the only democratic alderman
In the country with a pugilistic record, for
he must divide the honors Of the ring with
Thomas McGovern of Omaha, democratic
alderman from the Ninth ward.
About two weeks ago Mr.. McGovern and
an old man owning property on Twenty
fourth street met in the office Of the city
clerk. The old man, whose name is not
divulged. accused the councilman with be-
ing responsible for the high assessments
against property owners for the opening OF
the street from California to Cunning, the
councilman being chairman OF the commit
tee on street improvements. They had
some words, which eliminated in a blow
by the councilman. The old man fell to the
floor, his glasses shattered into a thousand
pieces, but before the bout could be re-
sumed a couple Of clerks in the office
jumped across the counter and separated
the beligerents.
Mr.. McGovern's victim is but one Of a
hundred dissatisfied property owners on
the street. To open the street for a dis
! lance Of two and one-half blocks the own-
ers Of property throughout the entire
length OF the street, from Florence to
South Omaha, were taxed. But a small
proportion Of these will receive any BEN
eft from the opening OF the street. but
they say they would not mind 1t so much
II, after they have paid in the $4,000 as
sessment. the street would, be opened.
Three-fourths OF the assessment has been
paid in. but the street will not be graded
down 90 as to be passable until they pay in
another assessment for this work. This
will cost about $500. It being estimated
that $4,000 yards OF earth must be removed

Irishman in Omaha, and 'Hizzonner' is
even said to be guilty OF forcing Pat to live
at a hotel of the courts own choosing

In police court Friday morning Pat ap-
peared with a long face and feelings that
were even longer. He was charged with
being a vagrant.
