TAUNTS u. S. SUPREME COURT WITH
INABILITY TO SEND HIM TO PRISON

Special Correspoodsnce to The Prsss
SAN FRANCISCO, June s.
George ID. Collins. the greatest
legal technician who ever befud-
died jury"
A public prosecutor once applied
that title to convicted perjurer,
at present an inmate of the San
Francisco county Jail. The prose-
cutor had matched wits and knowl-
edge of law with the "befuddler.''
An Is year old boy was sent re-
Gently to California state prison to
serve 25 years. He was convicted
of robbery and sentenced within
one month from the time of his
arrest.
George d. Collins, through his
ability to discover flaws in the ma.
chinery of the law, has kept three
state courts and two federal tri-
bunals, including the supreme
court of the United States, busy
for four years trying to determine
whether or not he should serve IA
years for perjury.
A few days ago the supreme
court of the United States decided
that Collins. who has been held at
the county jail here for more than
three years. must 60 to San Quen-
tin penitentiary.
Collins laughs in scorn at the
idea. He confidently declares that
before another month is ended he
will have not only the supreme
court, but several other courts as
well, engaged once more in settling
technicalities.
Collins, then a prominent law
yer was placed on trial here in
June, 1905, on a charge of bigamy,
two months after his marriage to
Miss Clarice McCurdy of Chicago.
The prosecution contended, and
afterward showed. that he had pre-
viously married Charlotte Newman,
who was then suing him for main
tenance. Collins said this was a
mistake. He declared he had not
been Miss Newman's husband. and
claimed that he was the common
law husband of her sister, Agnes,
then dead. Collins and the two
women had occupied the same
residence.
From the superior courts the
case went through the state court
of appeals and finally to the state
supreme court. An adverse de-
cision there gave Collins an oppor-
tunity to carry it on to the SUI,
preme court of the United States.
on the ground that the treaty
rights of the country were in
volved.
Far from being satisfied with
having taken his fate to the high
est American tribunal through one
channel, Collins then dragged his
case through the federal district
court and by that means entered
the supreme court at Washington
from another direction.
When the supreme court did

NEW YORK, June 3.-The big
bull market that has been on for
some time continued today on an
extraordinary scale and record
prices were the result. Union Pa
cific, Southern Pacific and the steel
stocks led the campaign. Steel Pre-
ferred closed yesterday at 1872,
which was by far the highest price
the stock ever attained, and today
crossed 1913. The highest price
these shares sold at during 1906
was 113A. Steel Commons high
price before the panic was 55, and
today it touched 50. Union Pacific
crossed 1913 and was within two
points of it's record price.
Southern Pacific opened at 124
and rapidly sold up to 1873. Fluctua-
tons at times were violent and the
large bear clique that has been op-
Grating since March was badly
hurt.
Money rates continued around

OMAHA, May Ito the Editor of The
Bee: AS a citizen of this great and grow
ing city. where / have lived for we'll on
to a quarter of a century and intend to
spend the remainder of my DAYS, and
where l am rearing a family, who In ali
probability will spend the greater part of
their lives, / naturally take a very deep
and keen interest in all that pertains to
the welfare of the city, both present and
future.
Three years ago a stranger came among
us and offered himself as a candidate for
the high office OF chief executive of our
city. Unfortunately his offer was accepted
and, owing to the circumstance that pre-
vailed at that time, this man. a stranger
whom we knew little or nothing about,
was chosen as our leader. l believe that
1 express the sentiment OF a large major
iy of our citizens, and by that 1 mean
not only the voters, but all other citi-
zens who have a right to choose the man
who is to be their leader, that the present
mayor has not by word or example shown
himself worthy of the confidence placed
in him.
/ am not speaking wholly from hearsay
when | speak of our mayor, for 1 have
heard him make statements that could
only be excused on the ground of ignorance
of his duty or an utter disregard of the
wishes of all who did not agree with him
in his wild notions.
Our mayor stated that his private at-
fairs were matters of his own; that he
did not have to account to the public for
his actions and that they were not con-
cerned in matters of his conduct.
! want to say in answer to this bold
and unwarranted statement that the clti-
8A-a
duct, whether he is in the great city of
New York to meet one of the leading
citizens of the world as the representa-
tive of the leading city of the home state
OF this man and there make a fool of
himself and become the laughing stock of
the country, or whether he is in Sioux
City, again as representative of this city,
and there heap disgrace upon us, and on
other occasions too numerous to mention
bring the blush of shame upon our city.
We, the citizens Of Omaha, are Interested
In his conduct, and very much interested.
This mans chief argument is abuse OF
those who would oppose his reelection,
accusing those Of his own party as being
ingrates, disappointed officeseekers and
other epithets of his own making.
Like many others of my fellow demo-
Gratis. l feel that Mr.. Dahlman does not
represent the democratic party and | 40
| not propose to take as a substitute for
democracy, Dahlmanlsm, Disgrace and Dis
ruption. J. N. MARTIN.
