new POINT In JURY MAKING
Prejudice of Jurors Against Another
Basis of Qualification.
T. B. NORRIS ASKS FOR RELIEF
Acts Upon ~Inuendoes of other Venire-

Making Case Unique in
Judicial Affairs.

A new point in jury qualification was
raised in district court Friday morning
when five Jurors declared one after an
other that they thought they ought not to
try the weatherford brothers because of a
prejudice against another member of the
panel.
The sixth man uuizzed was T. B. Norris,
we'll known as a business man and a can
didate for fire and police commissioner
on the ~Anti-Salopn League ticket.
81 know very well whom these men are
hitting att said Norris, ut is /. But I
do not care in the least l am proud of
the fact that / had the courage Of my con-
victions in the Brandeis suit and other
members Of that jury have assured me
that they respected me for sticking to
what l believed was right
The men who had spoken we're William
Adler, d. T. Oman, B. Boquet, A. Krestal,
and F. Slaughter. They and Norris were
among the twelve men who heard the suit
before Judge Day brought by Mrs. Eliza
beth Neff against Emil and Arthur
Brandeis which ended Thursday afternoon
in a disagreement with Norris and one
other man resolutely opposing the other

with mep who had a prejudice against
him. Judge Sutton granted his request de-
claring, however, that from the court 5
point OF view there was no reflection upon
Norris in being so excused.
Such a happening as this is said to be
without precedent in the district court OF
Douglas county and lawyers of experience
say that they can recollect no similar in
stance elsewhere.

Potent is example.
The red neckt against which more or
less OF a prejudice has existed, has been,
somewhat at least, restored to favor in
Omaha ever since wildly admiring youths
saw John Drew wear one last week in the
third act of Jack Straw Mr.. Drew has
long been heralded as a sure and shining
exemplar Of what is sartorially correct and
nifty. Since the red necktie Towering
forth has occurred since Drew's visit the
inference that he is the moving cause
is fairly obvious.
One difference is notable, however. Drew
wore his scarf against a background OF a
brown suit, two shades having been
chosen with an eye to lovely color
harmony. Not all of his youthful Omaha
imitators have such aesthetic subtlety. it

PLANS MORE STREET WORK
City Councilman Proposes New Sewer
And Extension of The Macadam
District Soon.

Plans for extensive additions to both
the macadam and sewer district in
Dallas were introduced at the meeting
of the City Council last night.
Councilman Coad reported for the
street committee the need Of new
sewer on Ash street, to begin at the
county road and run eastward through
the entire length of the street. The
laying Of this sewer would extend the
city's system more than a block
further south than the sewer laid
under contract by Messrs. Venske &
Taylor, and would give much freer
distribution to the enormous drainage
from the western section of the city
which was formerly confined to the
ditch on Washington street.
Councilman Coad was instructed to
confer with the city engineer and
secure estimates as to the probable
cost Of the proposed improvement.
The proposed districts for improve
ment with macadam were also
announced. This work, If carried out
as planned, will comprise about Is
pew blocks in the main portion of the
city west Of Main Street, the work on
the various streets being distributed
as follows: On Oak street from Main
to Levens; on Mill street from Church
to Levens; on Court street from
Church to Levens; on Washington
street from Church to Hayter; on
Levens street from the tannery hill
to the south end of the street; and on
Church street from Oak to Washing
ton.
Councilman Ellis announced that he
had conferred with the proprietors of
the pool rooms and soft drink estab-
lishments and had decided to with
draw his proposal for an ordinance to
remove all card tables and to enforce
other restrictive measures. His action
in the matter was prompted by the
willingness of the proprietors of these
establishments to comply fully with
all the regulations now imposed upon
them by the city.
Mr.. Ellis report Of the conference
of his committee with Hon. H. v.
Gates last week was also introduced
and filed at last nights meeting. Mr..
Gates refused to lower the water rates
directly, but agreed to install meters,
promisingto to send one up to Dallas
for thorough test, Mr., Gates recent
offer to sell the water plant to the city
for $4,000 was withdrawn and he re-
fused to make another offer at
reduced figures.

cupids formed the motif and into
these symbolic features Of the decora-
ton, college penants Of every descrip-
tion were cleverly interviewer.
A fortune teller, dwelling in booth
in one part of the hall attracted an
interested crowd about her pennant
bedecked domicile, while in another
place punch was served literally TO
all comers from a huge bowl trimmed
up into the semblance Of a mossy we'll.

A dispatch from Independence, in
the Telegram of Fridays issue says !:
Several large farms in this vicinity
have changed hands recently. The
purchasers have for the most part
been from other sections, and the
farms are being subdivided and sold
in small acreages. Already prepar-
ations are being made to put out fruit
trees and other producers. This farm
land is particularly desirable for the
raising of small fruit, as we'll as the
larger fruit, to which much land is
being set out. The best of farm land
is selling at $35 to $45 an acre all
within a few miles of this place. Some
OF the farms recently sold were the
William Cookie farm, of 300 acres,
about three miles south Of town; the
Rex farm, Of over 200 acres, south OF
town the Wells farm, OF 100 acres,
and the Ruef farm OF 300 acres, on
Soap Creek.
