In determining the value nf thr franchise.
This the supreme court held thin afternoon
In tne OHe of the Western I'nlmi Tclc-

In which the decision of tin- Mwer court Is
reversed and tho lower court Is ordered
to grant the relief prayed lor by the com

levenue law which fixes the value of tho
franchises of these corporations an tho
amount of the gross receipts for the year
previous 'Id declared void. The action was
brought by tho Western Colon Telegraph
oinpnny, a Now Ycrk corporation, against
the otty of Omaha to on.lotn the collection
of a city tax levied upon the gross re
ceipts repi 'Caentlng the franchise. A de
murrer wn tiled to the petition and sus
tained by the lowfr court.
The opinion was written by Commissioner
letton and while ho holds that the legis
l.iture has not power to establish an ar
bitrary rule or standard of ascertaining
the value of a franchise which has no rela
tion to the ascertainment f value, he holds
that tha griM receipts may be taken Into
otislderutlon In arriving at the franchise
alue. and that tho gross receipts nviy he
taxed as the mishits of auch corporation. !

Darker Verdict Iphelri.
t'nles the governor Interferes. Frank
Rcrker. the Webster county murderer, will
be hanged at the state penitentiary Friday,
June Hi. The supreme court to-lay affirmed
the decision of the Webster county dis
trict court, before which Barker was
tried, refusing to Interfere in the carrying
out of the si ntence. The opinion Is writ

23 years ef age, murdered his brother. Dan

that he might become possessed of the
house, property and farm and marry Miss
Lizzie Rlnklc. a Holing woman of Red

wife as soon as he had procured a home
to take her to. In Its concluding para
graph, the court says:
Th" record shows the commission of one
of the most brutal and deliberate mur
ders reroided.ln the history of the state,
that the facts and circumstances 'dis
closed therein Hre not only consistent
with the guilt of the accused, but In-coio-lste
it with any other rational con
clusion and In the trial of the case there
is no reversible error.
The court reduced from ten to seven
years the sentences of Imprisonment In

In deciding the case of McDonald against

today modified the opinion of Commis
sioner Duffle, handed down some months
ago, by holdinn that money loaned should
be taxed to the lender nd that his debt
could not he deducted from the amount
loaned. In listing his personal property
McDonald Included an Item designated as
bills receivable amounting to J13.M1 and
an Item of $X!.M as represented by notes
and real estate mortgages. He claimed the
right to deduct from these items debts
owing by him. The assessor refused to

LINCOLN. April 5. Social (-Legislative
acts are now up to the courts. Gov
ernor Mickey has had bis final swing and
the matter has parsed out of his hands.
Insofar as vetoes are concerned, the gov
ernor broke the record. having vetoed
twenty-seven bills. lie signed a total of
T. A great majority of the bills which
failed to receive executive approval were
drawn Incorrectly, and It was due prob
ably to carelessness more than anything
rise on the part of the legislators that it
became necessary for the governor to use
his veto power so extensively. The gov
ernor hesitated for a considerable time to
day over four measures, three of which
affected the disposal or sale of public
lauds and the fourth was the bill provid
ing for the relii f of Russell L. Loomi.
Late this afternoon lie vetoed three of the
bills and expressed his approval of 11. K.
Is. This bill provides the Hoyd county
settlers may purchase the laud upon which
thev are located at the uppi'aised value
after the Hoard of Public Lands and
Hulldlugs havo passed on the appraisement,
and approved ll.
o Fee for Heglsterlna V arrant.
One bill which the governor vetoed was
the work and especial pet of State Treas
urer Mortensen. It was H. R. 3J1. pro
viding that a fee should be paid the state
for registering warrants. Treasurer Mor
tensen grabs ev i y state warrant possible
and iilijocte strenuously to parties having
theni registered, as It prevents him get
ting that investment for the permanent
school fund The fee charged for regis
tering would wipe out that practice. In
his veto message Governor Mickey said:
However patriotic the purpose of this
act may be to divert the out standing war
rants of the state to tin- educational fund.
stlJl I am constrained to disapprove the
act for the reason that It places an unjust
and discriminatory burden on the holders
of state obligations who do not desire to
sell them.
The other hills vetoed, not heretofore
published, are as follows:
S. F. Providing for. the bringing of
anion for trespass by executors or ad
ministrators ami for the disposition of the
amounts recovered.
S. F. Restricting the State board In
Its levy of taxes to a rate sufficient only
to meet the appropriations of t lie legisla
ture for the ;ear in which the tax Is
levied.
S. F. lU Allowing the legislature to can
vass the vote on a constitutional amend
ment and to declare it carried If It should
receive a majority vote.
S. F. I'lH Authorising tho county courts
to enter decree dispensing with the ad
ministration of certain estates against
which there are no debts and to fix and
establish the heirs nt law of deeedpnts.
!eleot Court Commissioners.
After one of the most strenuous days
ever spent by the members of the supreme
court, during which thty were frequently
called' from the courtroom and Importuned
by various parlies supporting some candi
date for a place on the commission or a
place iih stenographer, the court late this
afternoon selected these men to compos
the commission: C. H. Letton of Falrbury,
W. D. Oldham of Kearney, John H. Ames
of Lincoln, division No. I. and K. R. Duf
fie of Omaha. N. T. Jackson of Neligh and
I. L. Albert of Columbus, division No. 2.
The new stenographers selected were Mrs
F-stellc Duffle,, wife of Commissioner Duf
fle, stenographer to her husband; Cora
Marsh, stenographer to Commissioner Jack
son; Mary Sheehan. stenographer to Cotrl
mlssioner Albert; M;ss Tony Sadllek, ste
nographer to Commissioner Letton: Mrs
Wilson, stenographer to Commissioner
Ames. No stenographer has yet been se
lected for Commissioner Oldham, though I
Is understood a son of Judge Ramos Is
after the vacant, place. The commissioners
composing division No. 1 are reappoint
ments. Friends of N. D. Jackson got busy this
nflernoon as they had never been busy be
fore and brought about his appointment
when It was almost conceded that he would
be left off the list. It Is said R. H. Schnei
der got busy with his telegrams and that
not only Judge Harms, but Vnited States
Senator Burkett. was Instructed to hustle
for him. Mr. Rurkett was at the capital
shortly before the appointments were made.

which shows that many claims were paid
with a les amount of money than the
liability. Dr. Spinney, president of the
order. Was notified of the .action of the
auditor by letter this afternoon and It Is
presumed ho w ill mnd imus the auditor to
rompel him to Issue the certlfii ate. The
auditor made no examination ol the books
of the company and did not charge fraud
In hi letter to Spinney, but merely stated
that the report showed the company had
not eotitorm d to the law.
This action Is another chapter in a long
dawnout fight between Spinney and tho in
surance department, which has dragged
Its way through the supreme court, after
first being heard before a special commis
sioner apisdnted to take testimony. The
supreme court allowed the company to con
tinue business provided It corrected some
errors which were pointed out. This Is the
first chance tho insurance department has
had at the company since that opinion was
rendered.
Lancaster County Wants Cash.
T-ancaster county has come to the su
preme court in an effort to secure $.V0o
which It claims the state owes. The treas
urer of Lancaster county collected state
taxes to that amount and (lejHisited same
in the Capitol National bank, which failed
In I.W. thereby causing a loss of the money.
The county treasurer then paid the state
out of county funds to make up this loss.
Tho county now claims the treasurer him
self should have stood the loss, and conse
quently wants the money hark. The county
lost the case In the lower court.
