llrluics I lie ki'criMnr) of stnte
IlncU Into Court.
LINCOLN", May SI. (Special.) An aa
wer was filed la the supreme court today
by the attorneys for the Union Paeiflc rail
road la connection with the suit brought by
the state against the company tome month
so, In which something less than liW.ww
Is demanded as a penalty for alleged viola
Hons of the maximum freight law passed
by the Nebraska legislature In ISM. The
answer Is one to the original petition filed
by Attorney General Smyth In the case. It
Is very lengthy and contains various and
numerous defenses.
In one section the company set up that
in this matter the state supreme court has
sot original Jurisdiction, as the suit is
practically a criminal one. No such author
ity or Jurisdiction, says the answer. Is con
ferred by section J. article 6 of the state
constitution, which reads.
"It (the supreme court) shall have orig
inal Jurisdiction In cases relating to the
revenue, civil rases In which the state shall
be a party, mandamus, quo warranto and
habeas corpus."
The railroad company further avers that
the company Is one organized under the
laws of the state of Utah and Is therefore
sot amenable to Nebraska law In this mat
ter. It is set forth that no competent court
has ever convicted the Union Pacific rail
road of any violations of the maximum
freight rate law, and that until such an
occurrance takes place the supreme court
has no authority to take Into its consider
ation for a moment the subject matter cf
the petition of Attorney General Smyth. It
Is then jointed out that, under section !
of the maximum freight rate law. proceed
ings for the collection of fines shall be
under the criminal code and by Information
or Indictment. Neither of these course. It
Is stated, have been pursued In the pres
ent case.
Attnck Vnllillty "f tlx-- hnxr.
The answer then goes on to attack the law
itsolf. alleging that the act of the legislature
In IS93 giving birth to It was In confllctloa
to seven separate provisions of the consti
tution of this state, and three of the consti
tution of the United States. These parts of
the stato constitution alleged to be violated
by the act aro sections 3, 9, 11. 13, 15, and
CI. of article I, oh well as section 11 of
article III. Those portions of the United
States constitution said to bo violated are
article V, article VIII, and section 1 of
article XIV. all of the amendments.
The company further contends that the
executive rights of the state board of trans
portation extend only to administrative
functions, stopping short of any legislative
or Judical power. Despite this the fifth sec
tion of the rate law attempts to vest in the
board the power to fix another schedule of
freight rates.
Th answer argues further that the rates
established under the law of 1SD3 are far too
low, that they amount practically to a con
fiscation of property, as the railroads would
be unable to pay operating expenses if
the provisions were to be enforced. The
company complains that It will be not be
Ktven an opportunity to show Just what
Injury these rates would wreak If the pro
visions were to be enforced. A citation of
the decision of the United States supreme
court In the case of Ames et al against the
Union Pacific Railroad company Is made as
proof of the statement that the act of 1S93 Is
unconstitutional under the confiscation
theory.
In anticipation of these various defenses
the principal point relied upon by Attorney
General Smyth Is that the company has been
reorganized since the decision cited and that
owing to the change in the times that old
order no longer applies to the present cor
poration, as what was admittedly confisca
tory then Is no longer so. But In answer
to this the company says that title Is now
held under act of congress of July 1. 1561,
and therefore that old decree does not per
tain to the present company. No briefs
have as yet been filed In support of either
side and the case may not be taken up in
the supreme court for some months to
come.

A verdict w-aa given In the district court

TheStreet Car company asked Jl.542.30 and
received Just half that amount. The railroad
people said that the oar company waB guilty
of contributory negligence In allowing a
fuse to be blown out nnd that this would pre

Governor Poynter this morning received a
meaiage from Washington. D. C . in which
It was stated that the Boer envoys will arrive
In Omaha on June S. They anncunro theli
Intention of coming by way of St. Paul,
Minn., where they will bo on June 6. As
soon as tha news reached Lincoln the many
Doer sympathizers here began planning to
Induce the envoys to visit this city and to
entertain them royally during their s-ay.
Judgo Cornish, John Trompen and others
were at once consulted and the scheme will
be pushed.
LINCOLN. May 11. (Special.) On behalf
of the president of the State Home for the
Frlendles society Judge Broady today filed
to district court a motion asking for the
dismissal of the appeal of W. F. Porter,
secretary of state, from the allowance by
thsaudltor of claims agatnst the state ag
gregating je.ooo.
Mr. Porter has always been opposed to
the Home for the Friendless society. He
was the leader in the opposition to the rec
ognition by state officers of the right of the
society to operate the home In this city.
He acted with other members of the beard
la refusing to furnish supplies to keep the
home going during the litigation cv?r the
legal right of the state to appoint offlcrs
of the institution. Mrs. Davis, pretlJont
of the society, used Jd.OOO of the Hendley
legacy to furnish supplies and pay salaries
during that time. The supreme court de
cided against the society n to the posses
sion of the home and Mrs. Darls presented
claims for the moneys paid out. Auditor
Cornell Issued a voucher for the money,
but Secretary of State Porter refused to
sign It.
Mr. Porter was called Into court to answer
a writ of mandamus and he reslstel. but
the court ordered him to sign the vcueher.
He filed notice of appeal, supposing that by
so doing he had stayed the execution of th?
writ. But then he was called In for can
tempt of the order. Then he agreed to
sign and the contempt proceedings were
dropped. But before he signed the voucher
he appealed from the action of the district
court In allowing the claims and put up a
bond. This prevented the Issuance of the
warrants and he probably thought It would
also prevent the realization by the society
of any money thereon,
Judge Broady says now that there Is no
law permitting any one to appeal from the
allowance by the auditor of a claim against
the state. The statute In this matter read?
that "in the case of the disallowance of all
such clalme or any part thereof, that party
aggrieved may appeal therefrom to the dis
trict court of the county where the capltol
Is located within twenty days after receiv
ing official notice." The statute nowhere
gives any one the right to appeal from the
allowance of a claim by the auditor.

YORK. Neb.. May 31. (Special Telegram.)
County Coroner W. R. Knapp of Thayer
has received the retort of the complete and
final chemical analysis cf the stomach of
Charles Frcat, but refuses to make public
Its contents, saying that on return of
absent Jurymen he will reconvene the Jury
and then a verdict will be rendered and such
action as may be necessary win be taken at
that time.
The Jury In Its first Investigation found
an aconite bottle nearly empty at the Frost
house. This Mrs. Frost had bought a few
days before the death of Frost, claiming to
have wanted It for chilblains. No phosphor
ous was found on the premises, but as the
heads of matches put In milk, coffee or lem
onade easily dissolve this could have been
done by some one, If Frost's death was due
to this cause.
Tho Jury found three kinds of poison In
the house strychnine, which Mrs. Frcst
said she bought for rats and the Jury said
it found no sign of rats. Mrs. Frost said she
bought the rat cheese for a Mrs. Lemon In
the country. Mrs. Lemon denies this. The
third was the aconite which she said she
bought to doctor her chilblains, stating that
she only used twenty drops of aconite and
that the reut was spilled by her little son,
Arthur.
Since her release she has been living at
her former home doing some dressmaking.
On the streets she wears heavy mourning
and around home and in the yard she dis
cards the mourning for a red mother hub
bard. She seems to wish to talk of her late
trouble and at no time does she give way to
emotion when she speaks of Mr. Frost. The
Jury will not meet until about Monday.

BEATRICE. Neb.. May 31. (Special Tele
gram.) The smallpox scare has nearly died
out. Only a few persons who like to keep
up a commotion or who like to hear them
selves talk have had anything to say about
smallpox today. Some self-appointed per
sons desirous of doing Kearney merchants
an Injury have been staying around the
outskirts of the town telling farmers they
met that if they came Into town they would
be quarantined and not allowed to murn to
their homes. Such work as this Is entirely
uncalled for as there is no danger whatever
of any person coming to Kearney being held
In quarantine. No new cases have developed
and thrse discovered Wednesday are of the
varioloid form. All those affected or who
may have been exposed are held In strict
quarantine and are personally isolated from
all persons to whom the disease might be
communicated. No Kearney persons are
staying away from their business nor are
any of them thinking cf leaving the city
because of the little scare of Wednesday.
