to the Dummy Ilonril Stnte
lluiinr Note.
LINCOLN'. March 31. (Special.) Prank
L McCoy of Omaha today llled In the su
premo court tho answer of tho defendant In
tho case of tbo State of Nebraska, against
tho Standard Oil company. Tho motion to
dismiss this caao was overruled at tho last
sitting of the supremo court and tho do
fondant compnny was given until April 1 to
lllo an answer to tho petition of tho attor
ney genernl. An appearance In this cao
will be made nt tho next sitting of tho court,
which begins April 3, but It la likely that
tho hearing of tho case will bo continued
for at least one month.
Tho answer of tho Standard Oil company
opens by donylng the Jurisdiction of tbo su
premo court to hear the case for tho reason
that tho constitution of tho stato provides
that tho original Jurisdiction of tho court Is
limited to cnseB relntlng to revenue, civil
rnes In which tho state la a party, man
damus, p,uo warranto nnd habeas corpus
proceeding. It Is contended that tho caso
In Question belongs to neither of theso
classes, but that It Is criminal In nnturo and
should therefnro bo tried tlrst In the district
court. As a further objection, It Is alleged
thivi tbo law under which tho suit was in
itltutcd provides that tho enforcement of Its
provisions shall bo through tho district
court, except on nppcnl.
Dealing with tho case as presented by tho
attorney general, tho answer asserts thnt
'the petition does not contain facta sufficient
to conNtltuto a cause of action. The com
pany admits that It Is n corporation organ
ized under tho laws of Indiana with a cap
ital etock of $1,000,000 for the purposo of
manufacturing the products of crude pe
troleum nnd selling tho same, but denies

tho agreements were made stockholders In ' promo court to tho petition or Intervention

that it at any time became a party to these
agreements
Referring to tho allegation of the attorney
general, that tbo Standard Oil company has
violated n section of the criminal statute,
the answer recites as follows:
"The solo basis of tho plaintiff's cause of
action is the chargo that tho defendant has
violated said criminal statute and has been
guilty of n misdemeanor thereunder and de
fondant alleges and Insists that no action
will lie against this defendant for a for
feiture of Its right to hold property or carry
business In the state of Nebraska and that
tho defendant cannot bo denied the right
or prohibited from doing any business In
tho stato of Nebraska until It has been con
victed of a misdemeanor under said pro
vlalona of said statute."
n Complaint Fllrd.
It is asserted that no complaint has over
been filed or any Indictment returned charg
ing tho defendant with violation of any of
tho provisions of the criminal code and thnt
no prosecution has been commenced against
It undor tho statute referred to.
Touching tho constitutional phnso of the
caeo it is alleged that the law under which
the suit was Instituted violates article 1.
section 7, of tho constitution of tho stato
inasniucn as u violates tno right of tho Inallonnblo right nnd power to select ap

. Kennedy, Matthew II. Collina and Victor
i appointed by Governor Poynter, The answer
covers all of tho ground gone ovtr In pre
vlous filings In thin suit and contends that
tho appointments of Broatch, Miller, Pea
body and O'Connor wcro not legally made
for tho reason that the purported law under
which they wcro mado Is unconstitutional.
It is further contended that tho appoint
ments aro illegal for tho reason that they
worn made at a different time from that
required by the alleged law under which
tho governor Is acting. It Is averred that
no vacancy existed In tho olllces nnd that
for that rcaxon also tho governor had no
right to make the appointments.
As additional objections It is denied th it
clthor Rroatch, Miller, Peabody or O'Connor
has taken tho oath of olllco required by law;
that they or either of them have filed any
bond conditioned by as required by law;
that any such bond has been approved by
tho governor; that the oath of cither ct
them has been filed with tho city clerk of
Omaha; that they or cither of them are
entitled to the possession of the ofllco or
recordfi pertaining or relating to tho office
of a member of said board.
Tho respondents further nlltco that tho
peoplo of Omaha, by and through their
mayor and council, hnvn ihn ahninin
theso rights upon any pretended officials
appointed by tho governor of the state is
void and of no forco whatever nnd Is con
trary to tho great fundamental principles

claimed In hU petition that had tho votes
cast at tho election been properly counted
ho would have received a majority. He cited

should hnvo been counted for himself were
discarded by the Judges of election.
Attorney General Smyth todny filed nn
amended motion for a peremptory writ of
mandamus on Judge (laker of Omaha, com
pelling him to set asldo the Judgment in the
case of the State of Nebraska against the
Omaha National bank and to forthwith grant
the plaintiff a now trial of tho causo accord
ing to the principles of law enunciated In
tho opinion of Judgo Sullivan. The orlglnnl
motion of tho attorney general asked for a
recall of the mandato of tho supreme court
reversing the former decision In tho Omaha
National bank caso and remanding It for
further proceedings. Tho defendant replied
to this motion a few days ago, contending that
the court could not recall a mandato utter It
had been Issued. The amended motion of
the attorney general now asks for an order
compelling tho trial court to set aside the
Judgment rendered.

HASTINGS, Neb., March 31. (Special
Telegram.) Miss Viola Horlockcr, when
seen at her mothor'a homo this morning,
appeared somewhat crestfallen, but bright
ened up as soon as she was asked what
her plans for tho futuro wcro and re
plied: "As yet tbero Is nothing definitely set
tled, bub within tbo next wvk I nm
going to a sanitarium at Jacksonville, III.,
or perhaps to some other similar Institu
tion, for tho purposo of recuperating nnd
that I may havo my health restored. I
nm in a bad physical condition, ns I have
henn under n severe nervous strain for
eighteen months and my general health
has suffered In consequence."
She was then AS' oil as to how long sho
Intended remaining tt the sanitarium, to
which sho replied:
"That depemlB entirely upon my phys
ical condition, as I will remain nt tho san
itarium nnd rccelvo treatment until I
havo completely regained my health, but
I hope by seclusion from tbo public and
closo attention to ray health to so far ro
cover as to resume my ordinary voca
tions." Miss Horlockcr said that after leaving
tho sanitarium sho would probably go to
Now York to Join her mother and sitters,
where they will reside. She does not In
tend tnklng up her forraeT vocation as
stenographer and typewriter, but will do
voto her time to music, ns she thinks sh
will be moro successful in that profes
