Insurance Men-SOuth Omaha

Councilman Hesitate.
AHA BIDDERS IN COMBINES

The committee on public property and
building Of the city council has not yet
reached a definite conclusion as to h
it's recommendation will be Monday, to the
committee OF the whole, on the bids for
i~nsuring the city hall and its contents.
Councilmen Johnson, Humrnel and Kugel
compose the committee that now has the
bids under consideration. All of the Omaha
bidders appear to have a practical agree
ment as to charge both for the building,
$225, 900, and the furniture, $4,000. The
Omaha bids are all qualified, as to cost
for so per cent insurance, and down to 20
per cent, also for one year, three Yeas
and five years. The O'Nelll agency OF
South Omaha on it's bid cuts the offered
Omaha rates in two, It bulks the offer to
81, 200 premium for three years and S1,sO0
for five years.
The only hitch, so far as the council is
concerned, comes on the point Of awarding
the insurance contract to a firm having
it's habitat outside of omaha Some ooun-
cilmen nave said that hey are opposed TO
giving the contract 20 any firm not doing
business in Omaha. To This other council
men respond that bids should have been
confined to Omaha firms in the advertise
ment IL that policy is to be followed. This
question Of policy is still being threshed
over among the councllmen, and II agree
ment can be reached action will be taken
either for or against the O'Neill bid next
Monday afternoon. AS the matter stands
now, 1t appears the council will be a tie,
and that means readvertlsing.
The city hall has never heretofore been
insured.

HITCHCOCK WILL LET 'EM

Congressman Hitchcock is in omaha
and will be here until Sunday night at
least.
On the question OF filing for the United
States senatorial nomination, Mr.. Hitch
cock said:
THE old saying that no man should
cross a bridge until he comes to 1t holds

atorial nomination in the democratic pri-
maries, the newspapers and the voters

Mr.. Hitchcock was willing tc talk about
the Pinchot-B allinger investigation as long
as anyone would listen. He asserts the
hearing is attracting a greater crowd and
more public attention in Washington than
any similar hearing in recent years; that
the room where the hearing is being held
oannot accommodate all who seek admis-
sion, and that the chairman has difficulty
suppressing the applause at times.

Two Children
Are Seriously
Burned at Home
Little Ones Use Kerosene in Building
a Fire in Stove and Are
Caught by Flames.

May Rand, 8 years or age, and her little
brother Harold, 6 years of age, were seri-
ously burned early Saturday morning
when they tried to build a fire in the
kitchen stove at their home, 1917 South
Tw~enty-fourth street, in the absence Of
their parents.
The children poured kerosene on the kind
ling and touched a match. The flames
flared up and burned them badly about the
head, setting fire to their clothes.
They ran screaming to the restaurant
operated by their father, F. O.. Rand, at
Twenty-fourth and Vinton ctreets. The
flames were extinguished by the excited
parents and the children were removed to
the home Of T. c. Whittet, 1904 South
Twenty-fourth street. Dr.. r. w. Connell
was called and treated their injuries.
While the condition of the children is serl-
Gus, their lives are not considered to be in

With the power of the judge en-

unnecessary delay at almost every
step of trial could be eliminated.
1t would be possible, while allowing
counsel on both sides every reason

rights of their clients, to bring

mute, should go the absolute pro-
hibition Of testimony of confessions
obtained from persons under arrest
as the result of private questioning
by officers of the law. The horrors
of the third degree" are the direct
result of the rule prohibiting the
prosecution from ealing the accused
as a witness, or basing any argu-
ment upon his failure to take the
witness stand in his own behalf.
QUESTIONS IN OPEN COURT
Surely it is far better to question
the accused in open court, where he
may have the assistance of counsel
and the protection of an impartial
Judge than to endeaVor to convict
him by means of an alleged con-
fession, which may never have been
made and which, if made, may have
been eXtorted from him in ways
that. if known, would thrown great
doubt upon it's reliability.
Such other suggestions as L may
have to come more appropriately,
I think, under the third head-that
Of delay. At the outset 1 may re-
mark that one of the main grounds
of complaints in this regard has
been removed by certain amend
ueQLS TO IIle penal COue, duOplGu ny
the legislature at it's session of 1909.
The prompt and effective presenta-
tion of criminal appeals on the part
of the state would be aided by the
enactment of a statute requiring
the district attorneys of the respec-
tive counties, upon the request of
the attorney general, to assist that
officer in the preparation and argu-
ment of any criminal case appealed
from their counties.
Freedom of action and expression
on the part of the trial judge is,
in my opinion, too much hampered
by two conditions-first, the appre-
hension that any attempt to re-
strict counsel for the defendent in
the examination of jurors, or of
witnesses, or even in argument,
may be regarded in the APPELLATE
court as a ground for reversal, and,
second, the constitutional provision
prohibiting judges from charging
juries with respect to matters of
fact, a provision which, quoting
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-09

court before whom the appellant
was convicted should be set aside
on the ground of a wrong decision
of any question of law, or that an
any ground there was a miscarriage
of Justice, and in any other case
shall dismiss the appeal. Provided
that the court may, notWithstand-
ing that they are of opinion that
the point raised in the appeal might
be decided in favor of the appellant,
dismiss the appeal if they consider
that no substantial miscarriage or
Justice has actually occurred Un-
derlying the proVisO just quoted ls
the same fundamental idea that mas
been so frequently expressed in this
country namely, that where a man
has been declared guilty OF crime
by a. jury the verdict should not be-
upset for any irregularity or error,
unless the error or irregularity ap-
pears to have led to false or un-
just verdict.
Here the appellate court can see
from the record that the defendants
guilt has been clearly shown, and
that he has had the essentials of a
fair trial, the verdict should he per-
mitted TO stand.
AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION
1 believe the constitution should
be so amended as to give the higher
courts power in criminal appeals,
to review the questions Of fact as
well as Of law, TO the extent neces-
sary to determine whether or not
any error Of law or any omission
has, in the judgment Of the court,
worked a substantial injustice to
he appellant, If it is found that no
such injustice has been done the
conviction should stand.
There are two particulars in
which I think the constitutional
right to trial by jury in criminal
cases may well be modified, It has
been held that the right so given is
the common law right to be tried by
a Jury Of the vicinage, or neighbor-
hood, and that therefore the place
of trial may not, without the con-
sent of the defendant, be changed
from the county where the crime
was alleged to have been commit

HAT CAGE SOLUTION FOR

LONDON, Oct. 8-A cage is the
solution for the new autumn millinery,
the curious variety in shape and size
which renders the ordinary large
sized hat box almost useless.
The new that cage" was seen the
other day at one of the west end
shops. In appearance it is just the
usual type of box, made of compressed
cane, but on raising the lid it is found
to contain a web cage which fits it
exactly. The cage is removable, SO
that it can be placed on table while
the hats are being arranged in 1t.
Each hat is secured to the sides OF
the cage by hatpins, and with little
planning and contrivance one may
pack "chimney pots" and "cloches"
and -brimmed hats in the same
cage without incurring the risk OF
crushing any Of them.
