the opposing lawyers.
Norfolk's police court docket which,
aside from the great mass of names
of the sons of idleness, weary knights
of the road, has in times past carried
the names of many prominent and re.
spectacle citizens, has received an.
other boost towards responsibility
through the swearing out of warrants
for no less local personages than A.
II. Viele, president of the school board,
and DR.. II. S. Overocker who drew
No. 1858 in the Trip land lottery and
didn't file. These gentlemen, promi.
nent residents of South Eighth street
in The Heights, are charged with the
crime, according to city ordinance, of
throwing grass and yard rubbish into
the street. The complaint in police
court was made by Street Commits
sioner Uecker, who said that he did
not take these steps until both public
and personal notice had been given.
Meanwhile, the two gentlemen, one of
whom is just back from the Masonic
grand lodge, are only technically un.
der arrest and have not heard the
clang Of steel or the squeaking Of the
jail door on its old hinges. They will
be required to appear in police court
for trial Tuesday, when they will be
prosecuted by City Attorney Barnhart.
Friends Of the two men, both of whom
are republicans, believe that they have
been unfairly treated and point to the
condition of the grounds about their
homes. which are adjacent and which
represent one of the best kept lawns
In the city. Mr.. Overocker said that
the man who cleaned up his place was
told to remove the grass, but did not
do so, through an oversight. A city
official said today that clean streets
and alleys was one of the first things
declared for by the Friday administra-
ton, and that in enforcing the ordi-
nance 1t was thought wise to strike
high up" rather than looking around
among the humble and lowly for a

On cross examination Attorney Aid

she felt as if she could kill the girl,
about Mrs. Kaufmann's holding a stick

To all of these questions, Erickson

ically.
From Mrs. Cordelia Udell, a neigh

came to her house and said she had
read in the paper that they were 60
ing to make trouble for her about

"she would do differently if she had
it to live over again. She said also
that she was with the girl all of the
last night she was at her house."

WOULD DISTRIBUTE NEGROES
John Sharp Williams Suggests solu.
ton OF Race Problem.

Lincoln, June 1.-THE thirty.eighth
annual commencement exercises Of
the University OF Nebraska were held
here yesterday with Senator-elect John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi as or.
ator. Mr.. Williams discussed the ne.
gro and gave solution Of the race
problem, suggesting tine division of
the negroes now In America between
the various sections and communities
80 that each might have but a small
number, number so small that It will
have no influence upon common life
and constitute no menace to the peace
and safety OF the people among whom
they are placed. He did not advise
the forcible removal and distribution
of the negroes, but simply that the
present drift from the south to north
be not discouraged and that the north
welcome the negroes as they come,
provided they don't come In too large
numbers.
Discussing the education of the ne.
gro, Mr. Williams said 1t has improved
some colored men and spoiled others.
1t was absurd to say that 1t consti.
tutes solution Of the problem. It is
not panacea and never was. Educa-
ton has its limitations. He preferred
an educated dog to an unframed one
and trained monkey to one that was
not. 1t is matter of historical DEM
onstration that mental culture de-
creases and lessons brutality and this
Mr.. Williams said was probably the
best argument for the education of the
colored race.
