Nebraska real estate investments were
not the cause OF the three attempts OF
Benjamin Martin to commit suicide in Chi
cago Friday. Nebraska land is freed from
ell blame by a statement made by Frank
Kilby OF Hopedale, IL, who Is at the Pax,
ton hotel. Mr.. Kilby is an Intimate friend
OF Mr.. Martin and declared a nervous
breakdown ana not disappointment in spec
ulation was the cause OF Martins three
attempts 10 kill himself.
Chico go dispatches stated that Marin
had lost 100000 in Nebraska land invest
ments and this had made him despondent.
He jumped into the Chicago river three
times. Twice he swan out himself after
the icy waters had chilled his desire to
end his life. The third time a kindly police
man rescued him.
Il know Mr.. Martin quite well" said
Mr.. Kiloy. " lie has lost no money in
Nebraska land l am sure. Some time ago
he sold a lGl-acre Illinois farm for 500 an
acre. He still has $4,000 coming to him
on this deal. He then bought a Nebraska
farm for s25 an acre and had $4,000 to pay

Brutality on The part OF the police, espe-
cially in districts where the rougher ele-
ment lives, only calls for more brute force
on tho part OF the populace. In rough
neighborhoods, no matter how dlsreputable
the characters might be. Timewell claims
that they are entitled to every consldera-
tion on the part of the police, because these
Fec pie have been made what they are by
their underpaid toll and sordid lives. On
this point Timewell in the course of our
conversation said:
Protect Poor rom Police.
MY object is not to protect people OF
good social standing ana irrcprcachahls
conduct. who are comparatively safe from
police Violence, but to prevent people who,
being very poor, live in bad neighborhoods
and arc %habitualiy coarse. rough. rather
foul-mouthed, not invariably sober and &C.
casionally disoroerly, from being still
further demoralized by unnecessary and H.
legal bullying and violence In their con-
flicts with the authorities.
1T must not be forgotten" he continued,
that such people form a very large part
of the population of London and M a
great deal OF the comparative refinement
and decency Of the rest OF us is supported
by the incessant and i'll paid bodily drudg-
cry that roughens and cosrsens them
Stlndlng almost alone in the advocacy OF
these principles T!mewell has courted
trouble and found plenty OF It. Some of
his adventures read like tales from D-n
Quixote. For instance. one night he ana
his daughter were walking in N~ewington
C~auseway-s rough section OF South Lon
don-snd they came upon four policemen
carrying to the station a man by a method
called the frog march. which consists in
bending the arms back and making the man
walk with his face toward the ground.
Evidently it Is a most uncomfortable way
of walking. but it appears to be an ex-
tTemely effective manner OF dealing with
persons who object 20 going quietly along
with the police.
Timewell and his daughter regarded the
police on this occasion as treating their
prisoner with great h~arshness. and, though
various people in the crowd tried TO dis
suade the little tailor from Interfering. he
do not hesitate to tell the police what ne
thought OF them. Furthermore. be and his
daughter accompanied the man 10 the po-
lice station. The police in London could
not prevent him from lodging his protest.
He remained in the station several hours
and happened TO be present when the med
icsl officer administered to the prisoner.
from the handling he had re-
eeived from the police, a strong electric
shock, IN order 10 bring him TO his senses
q gentle little way occasionally employed
IN police stations. Against this form Of ad-
ditionai maltreatment Timewell also
strongly protested. ana finally left tile
scene. saying he would bring the four po-
licemen 10 justice.

LCNDoNr Feb. 1S.-(snecial.) There Is
eLe man In London OF whom the police are
thoroughly afraid. Strange TO say, he is a
tailor. His name is James T~1meweii, and
he has fought more policemen than any
body else In England. During the last two
years T1mewell has been mixed up in no
less than thirty-five prosecutions brought
against the London police, with results mos
disastrous to ths force In fact, Il was
through his efforts hat A royal commis-
sion recently Sat on the force in more
senses than one, The findings of the COM
mission. though whitewashing the police
generally, pointed to severe abuses OF au-
thoritS; and had the Investigation not been
restricted to eases OF drunkenness, dis
order aud solicitation in the streets the
report OF the commission would have been
a highly sensational document.
The modern David. fighting the Goliath
OF authority, has brought many a police
man TO sue FOR mercy; sent several TO
prison; .disgraced others, and generally
raised such ruetions with the force tina
they prefer to give him a wide berth.

OF tackling them than II they were so

far more effective and much more dreaded

Here is an instance OF his method. Not
long ago Timewell CHANGED to be in a crowd
not far from his little tailor shop, il
Cover street. and saw a policeman roughly
handling some one whom he had taken
prisoner. In Timewelfs opinion the police
maj was treating his man with undue
violence SO he followed the crowd to the
police station and tried 10 enter the charge
room, but was barred by other policemen.
On inquiry rmewel ascertained that the

Fred Bruning paid for his workmanship
of the Board of County Commissioners Of
Douglas county. Saturday noon. Fred
Bruning. who was elected as a republican
and secured democratic votes to elect
himself TO the Craftsmanship, was the
leading figure IN putting through a reso-
luton dispoesessing the present incum-
bents. of the above named offices and fill
ing them with the men indicated.
Not only did Bruning. Pickard and Bed
ford make up their slate. but they re-
fused to consider at all formal app'ica-
tions for appointment already on file with
the board.
Kennard claims that, according TO all
parliamentary practice, the action OF satur-
day was illegal. To suspend the rules re-
quires a two-thirds vote and the three OF
the five mustered Is less than this.
Bruning also engaged in the spectacle
of voting to sustain his own ruling,
which. Kennard held. the chairman OF a
meeting has no right 10 do. The vote on
the appeal stood two TO two. Bruning
then instructed the clerk 10 cast the
chairs vote to sustain the ruling.

to defend the man. Evidence of the most
overwhelming character was brought
against the policeman and. finally. the
prisoner was liberated and the fake charge
which had been brought against the man
for assault was judiciously dropped, as
the police began TO realize that in dealing
with the little Cover street tailor they
had caught a Tartar. The policeman was
degraded and finally dismissed.
Misuse of Police Power.
Il am quite sure said Timewell, in de-
scribing this last case. that the general
public has no conception whatever as to
the misuse OF power by the london police.
They are supposed TO be the finest body
OF men in the world today. and yet, from
my personal knowledge OF them, l consider
the London policemen. under the present
system. a positive threat to the liberty OF
the subject Why, it has come to such
a pass, that the police are actually banded
together in a defensive organisation against
the public. II one of them gets into
trouble. all the rest are expected TO stand
by him. and woe betide the policeman who
is not willing to go even to the extent OF
perjury in order to clear the reputation OF
a brother officer.

have, under oath. committed perjury. Some
OF these cases l have managed to bring
TO light. but a prosecution against the
police is a veiy costly affair, and
besides this. It is more or less
dangerous. In a recent case in which /

charges against the police. one mana per-

month on a quite ~gFoundless charge, while
another man. wholly ~unscquainted with
him, was arrested on a charge of attempt
ing to rescue the man from the police.
The whole case, from beginning to end,
was an entire fabrication on the part of
the policemen. one OF whom was too drunk
TO report to the station. and had 20 create
or manufacture a row in order to account
for his loss OF time.

- might, however, mention. with some
satisfaction, that during the last two years
police arrests have fallen off to the ex-
tent OF some 1000 as compared to previous
years, and l attribute this very largely to
the stand which / and our organization-
the Police and Public Vigilance society,"
have taken. l might also add that have
myself been so far immune from police at
tack owing to the fact that l have made
very powerful friends with some OF the
highest and most influential people in Eng
land. and many of my friends are among
policemen themselves-the better class OF
whom are entirely against the tactics OF
the men who are bringing the police OF
London into such disgrace
Black sheep Among Good.
1t may be said with truth that the gem
eral run of the London police are splendid
men, but there are a number OF black
sheep among them. and it is these that
Timewell is constantly cunning for. Time
we'll himself seems to lead a charmed life.
So far he has manages to remain outside
the clutches of the law, though no doubt
there are many OF the police. both officers
and men, who would like to put him safely
behind prison bars.
He has been too much in the open as a
fighter, however, for the police TO touch
him, and so he keeps on making trouble
for "coppers" who resort to practices not
in the strict line OF c~onstsbulary duty.
These "disgraces to the force,' as Time.
well calls them, are actual menaces to the
public, and the little tailor is devoting a
very strenuous part OF his otherwise mo-
notonous life to the work of showing them

brought there by the Vaccinations of the
police and kept there for fear Of the public
scandal that would arise in case OF their
liberation. The now famous case OF Ado!ph
Beck was, in his opinion. one OF police con
spiracy, pure and simple.
Fight Made for sIums.
One OF the strange features of Timewelrs
crusade is that he has taken up the Fight
against the police, not on behalf OF welI-to-
do prisoners who might be badly treated,
but for the benefit OF the rough element
whose life is spent in the slums. These
people. according to TimewelI. are naturally
brutaliEed by their SURROUNDINGS, and they
should be treated with especial e~onsidera-
ton by the police. II they resist arrest
as they often do-thsy should be taken TO
the station. not through the public streets
and with the usual exhibition OF brute
force. but by means Of 'black-marias." In
London fractions prisoners are occasionally
strapped to ambulances and carried through
the streets, but not often.
While Timewel believes that the police
