Xmo tmportinl Omnhn Caaea Settled
by the Court Jnt Before Al-
JotirnlnK for the
, Term.
LINCOLN, April 18. (Speclal.J-Bcforj
adjournment this afternoon the supreme
court handed down decisions In several very
important cases, ono of which declares the
free high school attendance law to be un
constitutional, another reverses the decision
In tho cane wherein T. J, Mackay and otherj
cro fined by Judgo Cunningham it. Scott
for contempt of court and n third mistilni
tho action of Judjto Maker In directing a
verdict of not guilty In the case of the Smti
against Tom DennUon, who was charged b
the prosecuting attorney of Douglas county
with maintaining and conducting a gamo of
chance In Omaha.
Tho opinion In tho case involving the con
stitutionality of the free high school at
tendance law, appealed from Lancaster
county, holds that sections 1 nnd 3 of that
net contravene scctl.ns 1, I and 6 cf article
Ix of the constitution of the state, which
declare that tho legislature may provide
such revenue as may be needed by levying
a tax In proportion to tho value of his or
her property; that tho legislature shall
have no power to release or commute taxes,
and that all taxes for municipal purposes
shall be uniform In respect to persons end
proporty within tho Jurisdiction of the body
Imposing the same,
It was nrguctl In thin case that Inasmuch
s taxpnytr.1 Inside the high school district
must, under this act. pay the difference bs
twecn the cost of tuition of nonresldJiit
pupils and the "ft ctnts per week allowed
by the law, to be fnld out of tho general
fund of the county, and must also pay his
proportionate share of the 7." cents per
week with the other taxpayers of the county
in addition to bearing tho whole of the ex
pense of educating those pupils resld nt
within the limits of the school district, tho
law was contrary to ths provisions of the
constitution regulating tnxatbn.
This suit was begun by the city cf Have
lock against Lansnntor county to secure tho
allowance of a ctalm for tultl-n of pupils re
aiding outsldo the school dittrlct. The de
murrer filed by the county was sustained
and the case was appealed to the supreme
court. The decision of the court will be of
Interest to educators, as It was largely
through their efforts at tho recent meeting
of the Stato Teachers' association that the
case was carried to tho supremo court. Tho
opinion in tho case was written by Judno
Norval.
Defect In Colli pin I lit.
In the case against Ucnnlson it was held
that tho Information Hied by the prosecuting
attorney did not stato a crime In specific
terms. Tho defendant fllel a motion to
quash the Information, but was overruled
after a plea of not guilty had been entered
on the docket. Tho defendant then objectod
to the Introduction of any evidence on tho
ground set forth In his original motion and
tho court Instructed the Jury to return a
verdict of not guilty, refusing to grant tho
prosecuting attorney permission to' file an
amended Information. Tho court was then
naked by the stato to discharge the Jury
without prejudice to further prosecution, bJt
this motion was also overruled.
The syllabus of tho court's opinion In this
easn follows:
An Information drawn under section 221
of the Criminal Code, charging tho de
fendant with opening nnd eHtntillshlng ii
lottery. Is defective which omlti to allege
the capacity In which the defendant acted,
whether as owner or otherwise.
When an Information In a criminal court
falls to state a crime, on n trial had there
under. It Is not the proper practice, when
the court discovers the defect, to direct tho
verdict of not guilty, but the Jury should
be discharged from further consideration
of tho ease.
It Is not nn error to refuse to allow the
county nttorncy to llle an amended Infor
mation where tho complaint beforo the ex
amining magistrate failed to state n crime.
Contempt Wnn S'ot Scrlmi.
In tho Mackay case the court holds that
a disavowal of Intention to commit contempt
of court when made In good faith, though
Insufficient, Is nUleart receivable in extenu
ation of tho offense, and the action of Judge
Bcott In fining T. J. Mackay, V. I1. Harford
nnd Hubert C. Herring for contempt of
court In overruled. The case appealed to
the supreme court was brought about by an
application for n writ of habeas corpus In
the district court of Douglas county by Ben
jamin P. Dodd and Annie R. Dodd for their
minor children, Clara, Minnie, Horn, Alien
and Morgcl, who were In possession of tho
Nebraska Children's Home. Tho men found
guilty of contempt aro members of tho Ex
ecutive Hoard of that Institution. Af'er tho
evldenco was all before the court In thu
habeas corpus cafe and before any decision
had been rendered they addressed a letter
to Judge Scott In which It was asserted that
tho parents of the children were not worthy
of the children. An Information was at onco
filed against them alleging that they ha.l
attempted to us undue Influence In mould
ing the Judgment of the court. In answer
to this petition the defendants admitted
writing tho letter, but denied any malicious
Intent. This denial was stricken out by
Judge Scott nnd the case was then appealed
to tho supreme court.
In closing tho opinion of the court, which
vbs written by Judge, Norval, says;
The disavowal of the defendants of uny
Intent on their part to hinder tho adminis
tration of Justice In snld court or to un
duly Influence It, If It did not purge them
of contompt, at least was permlsnahle In
extenuation of tho offense. Their allega
tions. If they did not have tho effect of
purging: the defendants of contempt If
true, must be reenrded as In some degreo
palliating the offense. If any was rom
niltted In writing and transmitting the let
ter, which we do not decide. It wns error
to strike these allegations from the an
swer nnd for this reason tho sentence Is
reversed and the rnse remanded.

FORETHOUGHT OF ST0RER
Aiiirrlenn Minister Dili Graceful nnd
Tnctfnl TIiIiik nt Court
of Mndrtil.
WASHINGTON. April 18. It Is learned
thnt no Instructions were sent from Wash
ington to Mr. Storer, the United States
minister nt Madrid, rclatlvo to the pre
sentation of regrets for the extension to the
Duo d'Arros, the Spnnlsh minister, of the
Invitation to nttend the celebration of the
Snanlsh fleet In Mnnlln linrh nr. In nthpr
' words, Mr. Storer Is authorized to use his
own Judgment nnd net on his own responsi
bility Iniany representations he may have
mado to tho Spanish foreign office on this
subject. It Ib not to bo inferred from this
statement thnt his action, oven If as re- I
pcrted, is disapproved here. On tho con
trary, It Is asserted thnt his course was In '
tnorougn nccord with the proprieties of
official etlquetto and that he showed excel
lent Judgment in anticipating a complaint
which woould havo been dlsagreeablo to
meet. His course Is closely akin to that
pursued by Lord Paunccfote. the British
ambassador here. In stating to Secrotary
Hny In advnnco of any information ns to
tho nlleged opening of Mr. Macrum's mall
that If such an act had been commlted It
was unauthorized and was a Bourco of re
gret. The officials are careful to make it clear
that Mr. Storer did not make an apology In
tho natno of his government, and they nro
confident that tho Madrid dispatch conveys
an erroneous Impression on that point. In
asmuch as the offense, if there has beeri any
offense, was perpetrated by a municipality,
for whose nctlons the United States Is In no
senso responsible, It would of course not bo
proper for tho United States government to
mako an apology.
On tbo other hand, as already Indicated,
It was entirely competent for Mr. Storer to
personally explain to tho Spanloh minister
of foreign affairs that the UnltJd States
government has no Jurisdiction In such cases
and also to point out how the Incident mny
havo occurred without intentional d!hre
speet to Spain.
It has been erroneously stated In connec
tion with this subject that the Sfnnlsh
minister was singled out for Insult In this
matter; that he alone of the entire diplo
matic corps was tho recipient of an in
vitation to attend the celebration. Un-1
doubtedly this would havo added greatly to
tho gravity of the offense wero the stato-1
ment correct. But Inquiry today cisclrscs
tho fact that many of tbe members of tho
diplomatic body havo recolvcd invltat'ons to
attend the demonstration In Chicago and It
Is assumed that, If others have not rece-ivci
their Invitations, It Is only bocaueo of de
lays in the mall. At any rate the diplo
matic representatives of the presidential
continental powers have been honored In
this fashion.
Tlje Spanish minister Is satisfied with tho
explanation of tho'nffalr that has been mado
by Mayor Harrison nnd ho says that he will
not mako tho Incident tho subject cf nny
representations to the State department; so
that is tho end of It.
The wholo occurrence, however, ha? had
the effect to emphasize In tbe minds of tho
officials hero the propriety of remitting to
the State department any exchanges befveen
tho diplomatic body hero and tho promoters'
of enterprises nnd celebrations, whether
theso latter nro national, state or municipal.
It has only recently come to bo tho custom
for tho managers of ceremonials such as
that about to take place In Chicago to ad
dress themselves directly to foreign repre
sentatives in Washington. With the best
of Intentions on the part of the projectors
much mischief mny result from this laxity.

readily be perceived that the acceptance by
a member of the diplomatic body In Wash
ington of nn invitation to glorify the crush
ing defeat of the Spanish navy at the hands
of America's might conatttute a grors vio
lation of the spirit of neutrality which la
supposed to animate governments, and
might Involve In dimculty with his own gov
ernment the unwary diplomatist who ac
cepted such an Invitation.
It Is nld nt tho Stntc department that It
Is too much to expect that there should be
a general knowledge on all these little dlplo
mntlc Intricacies, wherefore to prevent hu
mlllntlng Inrldcntn It would be better for
projectors of public demonstrations who de
sire to securo the attendance of the diplo
matic corps to nvnll themselves of the knowl
edgo nnd experience of the ofllclnls of the
Stnto department.
