OF THE PRE Editor of the Omaha Bee Kept in Jail For Six Hours SAID TO BE FOR PERSONAL SPITE i The Court Felt Aargrieved at the Word "Pull" Used By a Local Reporter. Associated Press. Omaha, April 24. Edward Rosewatcr, editor of the Bee, was today sentenced to imprisonment for 30 dayn and to pay a fine of J500 for alleged contempt of court. Without belngr given an appor- tunity to appeal, Mr. Rosewater was ordered taken ta jail at once, and for six hours he waa behind the bars of the Doucriass county jail. At 6 p. m. the state supreme court granted a super sedeas, and Mr. Rosewater was releas' ed, until the case can be reviewed by the higher court. The alleged offense committed by Mr. Rosewater was In al lowing to be printed in the Bee a local article in which it was stated that there waa evidently some partiality shown to certain criminals in the district court, as in the case of two men caught rob bing a railroad depot the poor man was sentenced to prison and the man of wealthy parents was given his liber, ty without the case coming to trial. Th facts in the case were not denied, but Judge C. R. Scott, who had dismissed the cae in question, felt aggrieved at the word "pull" used In the article, and had the reporter who wrote the matter brought before him for contempt; and after a "disgraceful scene In the court the reporter was sent up for ?0 days, and Judge Scott concluded to arraign the editor of the paper on the same cltarge. As Judge Scott has been a most bitter and vindictive political enemy of kr. Rosewater, it waa believed the ac tion taken was for personal spite. The case was called for a hearing today. Evidence was Introduced to show that Mr. Rosewater knew nothing of thenar-; tide complained of; that he was not In the office on the date of its publication; that he'tlad not directed the matter. and, In factt was entirely ignorant that an article of any such nature was about to appear. In spite of the evidence, Judge Scott declared the defendant guilty, and after giving him, a severe tongue-lashing, started to impose sen tence without giving Rosewater an op portunity to be heard. But the editor Interrupted the court with, ai" demand that he be heard. This the court at first refused to grant, but Mr. Rosewater In sisted, and after much confusion he said: "If .men who own property, who run corporations, who employ men in various walks of life. If these men were held responsible for the criminal con duct of all of their employes, there would not be judges enough. In America to accommodate them. It Is a mon strous doctrine. I had rather rot In 40 jails and prisons than to surrender what has Deen fought for by the fathers of this republic, which Includes the liberty of the press to criticise public servants, and the courts are public servants as much as any other class, from the rep resentatives In the legislative halls In the capltol at Lincoln or Washington. I shall cheerfully submit to this ordeal. It will not hurt me. If there Is any thing that I am. guilty of, if I have been guilty of any contempt at all, it is con tempt of my fellow citizens for helping Col. Scott to become judge of this dis trict" At the conclusion of Rosewater's talk the Judge ordered him taken to Jail. NOT ACCORDING TO THE! CODE. San Francisco, April 24. The Evening Poet publishes a statement that James Hamilton Lewis, of Seattle, orator, law yer, statesman and bon vlvlant, has challenged City Editor Fremont Older, of the Call, to fight a duel, because of an alleged Interview with Col.. Lewis Which appeared in last Sunday's Call, and which contained statements which the colonel considered highly offensive, so offensive. In "fact, that blood -only will sooth his ruffled feelings. In his challenge Col. Lewis denies the authori ty of the Call Interview and denounces Its author In language both vigorous and picturesque. The Call published a text of what purported to be a letter from Col. Lewis inviting a reporter to call on him in his apartments at the Palace hotel. With all his regard for perfect form, the colonel appears to nave used an Indecorous method of transmitting his challenge. That Is to' say, he either overlooked purposely or avoided sending it by a duly accredited second, but transmitted it through the mails. This astonishing breach of eti quette It is said Mr. Older will not ex cuse. He Is a stickler for form himself, and it he cannot be challenged In strict accordance with the code duello be don't want to be challenged at all. Mr. Older, will therefore refuse to treat the challenge aa genuine, and will, in fact, consider It no challenge. It Is claimed by the friends of Mr. Older that if Mr. Lewis will look up the code and learn how to send a challenge properly, and then send It, it will receive all the con siderutlon it merits. , A SPLIT IN THE3 RANKS.
