Justice 1'ogt's Comments. Justice Post , who prepared the oninion , prefaced bis decision with the following general comments : "Tho evident purpose of tbo provision for commissioners from the different parties is to removu tbo pollen de partment of tbo Rroatost city of ourttato from the influence of partisan politics. Tha object is ono to be commended certainly and to which tbo courts will Bivo effect when po siulo without violating the recognized rules of construc tion. Tbo wisdom of a division of tbo pnuersaud responsibilities of tbo board be tween the throe parties will not bo celled in question. * Tbo tendency of current opinion Is strongly in the direction ot fixed and definite terms of ofllce , and in lavorof mailing the officeholder so far nc practicable without impairing the public service inde pendent of tbo appointing uower. It ic this sentiment tbat is expressed in tbo provisions of the charter of the city of Omaha under consideration. Without further elaboration our conclusion is that tbo charter of tbo city of Omaha does not authorize the removal of the fire and police commissioners thereof ex cept for official misconduct , nor until they have been notified of the particular act or nets of misconduct with which they 'aro charged and an opportunity afforded them to bo hcord in their own behalf.

Rustm nnd their son , Fred Rustln , arrived at 4 o'clock Friday evening from Now Haven , Conn. , with the remains of Wllklns Rustin , who mot a sad and premature death at Now Haven on Mon day , Juno ( i , as the result ot injuries received by him while being initiated Into the D. 1C. E. society of Yale college. The sotrow-stnckeu relatives were met at the depot by a company of friends and the casket was taken at once to tbe family resi dence nt 1C22 Harnoy street , The funeral services wore held yesterday afternoon , Dr. Duryca conducting the religious ceremonies over tbo departed. The floral offerings wcro superbly beautiful. The sopbomoro class , to which tbo deceased be longed , sent a magnificent pillow of roses and smllax , and the D. 1C. E. fraternity ten derly remembered the youag man who wus about to become a member ot tnat society In the presentation of a handsome shield com posed of variegated rosei and lilies. The llornl gifts from friends in Omaha wcro numerous and elegant , for the deceased was very popular among his numerous acquaint ances in Omaha. The funeral was largely attended. The family is oao of the oldest and most re spected in the city and many hundreds of people sympathize with the bereaved familv. Following are the pall bearers : W. G. Doane. J. W. Broatch , V. C. Caldwell , A. H. Preston , W. G. Preston. Augustus F. Kounlza , John Patrick and Will Hoagland. All of the pall bearers nro Vale men. The body was Interred in Forest Lawn cemetery. Merely Crnrl 1'olly. Touching tbo manner of bis son's death Mr. Rustln said that ha was thoroughly con vinced that the reports tending to convey tbe Impression that the accident was a case of premeditated malice or intentional cruelty on the part of any of the young man's assorfatcs wcra entirely misleading. Tbe ridiculous ceremonies through which tbo members of tbe D. 1C. E. society were obliged to pass were not necessarily dangerous , and tbis sad Incident was an accident which none hud forpseea. His classmates wcro all shocked and sorrow-strlckon oy the tragic ending of Ibo evening's sport , which they bad in tended to bo only a Htlln rough and ridiculous. "It was cruel folly , " said Mr. Rustln , "that is about all that can bo said about it. My son was popular with his class and I do not believe for a moment that any of them would have pormilteid the acci dent to occur if they had foreseen it. " How die Accident Happened. Mr. Fred Rustin , brother of tbe deceased , who Is also in Yale , explained the exact manner in wblch his brother received tbe fatal blow tbat ended bis life. It seems that the ceremonies of initiation wcro almost finished at the lime \Vilkius Rustin and several olhers wbo werj being Initiated bad been out on the campus , whore tbov were compelled to sing songs and go through several ridiculous performances. Tbo final act was to make a run down the street to ward a restaurant , where tbo hoodwinks were to bo taken off and the novitiates were then to bo given some refreshments , con cluding tbe ceremonies. As the party entered the street through which thn run had to bo made some ono cried out "run" nnd off they all dashed. Young Hustln , although blindfolded , proved to bo tbo swiftest runner of the lot , and us it is the well known custom ot tbo bocioty to make tbo applicant run a second time in case ho failed to do bis best on tbo lirst attempt Young Rustia decided to make a run the first time that would free him from a second demand of that kind. When the party had run some distance and bad almost reached tno restaurant where the refreshments were in waiting , the man who bad Mr. Rustin in charge saw n back stand ing in tbo troot and fearing bis blindfolded companion would dash into it no called lo him to slop. But Mr. Rustin wus some distance ahead of bis guide and having tbo bandage- about his ears as well UP bis eyes It is believed tbat ho did not hoar tha warning , for ha ran against the tongue of the buck with tremendous force and fell pros trate on Ibo pavement. Tbo polo of the ve hicle had struck him fair in the pit of tbu stomach. He lingered from Wednesday evening until Monday morning , when ho ex pired. Storius were spnaad broadcast to the effect that tbo deceased bad been cruelly hazed to death , and other reports stated that two of tbe guides ran by Rustin's siuo until bo got within a few feet of tno back polo and then called to him to "Look out , ihero comes a wagon , " und deliberately guided him lo bis dcalb. Tboso rumors are not bellevad by tbo relatives of the deceased , as staled above. They are convinced that tbo untimely death was simply an accident resulting from care lessness. Crlcf nt Ne\TlIaten. Brief funeral services were held oa Wednesday at New Haven , all the members of the class being excused from duty to at tend. Speaking ot tbo'Incident the Now Haven Dally Morning1 Journal of last Wednesday said : "Nothing , perhaps , has ever cast sucb a general gloom on the campus. The depressing creels of tbo uu- foriunale accident is everywhere apparent. Just before tbo operation was performed on Rustin bis moat intimate , friends passed through bis room nnd said coodbyo to him. Tbo sight was a deeply touching one , young mon with llfo before thorn saying goodoye lo a friend who bad ' 139011 so harshly taken from thorn. Everywhere tbo noble , manly character of tbo deal student was ouloglied. Ho 'Wbs one of the men wbo made Yale a 'pleasant place to bo in. Naturally tbe blow falls heaviest on bis father and mother. Ho bad written them glowing letter * about the pleasure bo ox peeled lo get from tbo society to which he had been elected , Tn& societies feel koouljr their ihuro in causing Rustlu's death. Pki Upsilon and D. K. E. , the two leading Junior societies , adopted tbc following ro.o tlon Ian night : "Uesolvcd. That every candidate shall as sent lo the oath of tlio kocloty and shall sign the con.tllullon. "Heso.vod further , That the Initiation cere mony bhall bo the above and nothliu more. "Tbo sophomore class aUo passed resolu tions ox protsiui ; the sorrow of the entire class occasioned by tbo sad accident , oulngU- inp tbo deceased and declaring that tbo clus. as a special mark nf respect should wear badges of mourning until tbe end of tbo pres ent school year.
