DETROIT, Aug. s.-The badly mutiated

torn open and nothing which might serve

The ground for yards about was torn up
and bits of flesh were in the finger nails

Custer Proceedings Against Omaha
Officials Await Evidence Filing.
IT IS NOW UP TO PATRICK
Attorney General VIII BE Instructed
to start Suits as Soon as II is
shown That Law is ViO-
lated BY Board.
CFrom a Staff Correspondent.)

LINCOLN, Aug. S.-(SpeciaL)-It will not
be necessary for anyone to go TO the trouble
OF getting up large petition to get Gov
ernor Shallenberger to ask the attorney
general to bring proceedings to oust Mayor
Dahlman and the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners of Omaha, Notwithstanding
Senator w. r. Patrick or Sarpy county,
who was defeated for reelection last fall,
had the Epworth assembly pass such a
resolution.
While Governor Shallenherger is out of
the city, from his office the Information
was secured that whenever a statement is
made to the governor, backed up with ev-
idence that the law is being violated by
the police commissioners Of Omaha, he will
take action without anyone going to the
trouble to secure a petition Of signers. In
other words. II Senator Patrick filed real
evidence with the governor and asked that
action be taken 1t would have the same
effect as though he secured the signature
Of every woman who heard his speech yes
terday.
The fact that Ex-Governor Sheldon voted
for the resolution has caused some talk,
inasmuch as the governor was constantly
besieged by persons who wanted his Omaha
police board fired, but after repeated hear
ings Governor Sheldon refused to give the
board members their walking papers but,
on the other hand, upheld the board In its
actions and refused even to accept the
resignation of one Of them for months.
In his talk yesterday Senator Patrick said
the state of Nebraska is lined up against
Douglas county, "and the state should be
against Douglas county" he said, until
tha decent neonIe of that county send bet
ter men to the legislature and to the state
conventions
The passage Of the o'clock closing law
did not represent the sentiment OF the late
legislature, he said, but the bill was passed
In order to get even with the Douglas
county delegation. Most OF the senator's
speech was a wall over his own defeat for
election to the senate.
In his speech Ex-Governor Sheldon said
he was not taking the stand he did because
of any political ambitions he might have,
for" he said, II have no political ambi-
tion"

Plans to Avoid

NEW YORK, Aug. Slow can THE

Today the committee of judges mad pub
lie the results of their consideration Of the
question, so far as they have advanced It.
They do not pretend to have fully solved
the problem and they ask advice upon it.
They start with the promise that the
public's chief concern is in "the reduction
of litigation TO actual differences and the
abatement Of the laws delays in the com
posure of commercial cases" They make
on this point suggestions which, in brief,
are for simplification Of privileges in plead
ings both as to substance and in time OF
making; for reform in court assignments
through which justices making orders in
suCn cases small De l0e ones 10 near drRu-
ment upon these orders; for laws reducing
the time within which such actions may be
begun, and requiring precise and unequivo-
cal statements OF facts as constituting
causes of action.
An important recommendation is for the
practical abolition OF the demurrer in civil
actions. In place of the demurrer, that
so frequently fragrant method of securing
delay on the part OF the litigant whose
cause Ia weak or unjust, the judges would
compel the lltlgant to answer and have

tions to the complaint should be threshed

Will Set Free
Innocent Man
Deputy Sheriff Osborne Goes to
Georgia to Procure Release from
Penitentiary of J. H. Davis.

Deputy Sheriff Osborne has gone to Ma
rietta. Ca, to free from the state peniten-
tiary j. H. Davis, whose Imprisonment
! there makes a strange story.
Davis was arrested in Omaha September
26 1908 as a suspicious character, by De-
tectives Maloney and Van Dusen He was
thought to be a bad man and one wanted
by the government, so he was placed in
the county jail September 2S, where he re-
mained until January l of this year. No
case having been made against him by
that time he was turned free.
At Marietta, Ca, Davis was arrested
few weeks ago and declared to be the thief
who stole a valuable package from an ex-
press office in that town on December
22 1908. December o. 1905 Davis, of course,
was resting behind the bars of the Doug
las county jail
After his arrest Davis tried to send word
to the Douglas county officials about his
Imprisonment at Marietta, but the officers
there, It is said, would not permit him to
write any letters, nor would they telegraph
the local officials. Last week Davis. after
trial in which several witnesses identi-
fled him as the man who stole the package
was sentenced 10 serve seven years III tne
Georgia state penitentiary.
When the sentence was imposed upon him
Davis made a strong plea with the Mari
eta officials to notify Sheriff Bradley at
this place, so that evidence could be pro-
duced to show that the crime was COM
mitted by some other man. Finally the
! hard d-hearted men of Georgia yielded and
the sheriff of Douglas county was told OF
Davis case.
The Douglas sheriff does not want to see
any innocent man go to prison, so Deputy
Sheriff Osborne has gone TO Marietta with
affldavits and the Bertillon measurements
OF ]. II. Davis TO establish, II possible, the
innocence of the man now ready to begin
serving a penitentiary term of seven years.
The Marietta officers are not convinced
yet by what Davis has told them that he
is innocent. II he is they think, perhaps,
that he was aware OF the crime and has
twin who is guilty Of stealing the pack
age Four or five people who saw the pack
age stolen are 80 sure Davis is the man
that the Marietta officers will never be-
lieve anything else than that Davis, or his
twin brother. did the deed.
