Loan Shark Law Upheld.
Tho validity c,t the law enacted by
tho legislature of 1915 legalizing tho
business of so-cjillod "loan sharks," Is
established in an opinion of tho high

ting such dealors to charco a broker
ago fee of 10 pur cent and an examina
tion foe of GO cVnls, hi addition to 10
per cent Interest, Is not "local nor
special legislation" and that It does
not deny tho tnual protection of tho

vision empowering tho secretary of

censes under this law does not confer
arbitrary pow-jr on that official. Un

Emll Muzlk, convicted of wlfo mur
der, Bontenccd from Douglns county as
tho socond man In Nebraska to suffer
tloath by electrocution, will not bo ex
cuted for tho crlmo, but will Instead
rocolvo a sentonco of Hfo Imprison
ment. Tho stato supremo court In re
viewing Muzlk's caso, has ruled that
tho evidence was sufficient to sustain
his conviction, but not to Justify tho
death penalty, and it "therefore re
duces tho sentence Muzlk'B defense
was Insanity. Ho cut his wife's
throat with a thin tnblo knlfo cmo
morning bccaiiBO sho urged him to
get up out of bed and go to work.
Tho opinion of tho high court, writ
ton by Judgo .Fawcott, takes tho
ground that whllo Muzlk was probably
not Insane In tho usual sense his mind
novortholcss was abnormal nnd tho
degrco of tho crlmo was not so great
as to call for captlal punishment.
A city can tax for city purposes
only property within tho city, nnd

Reaver City. Tho property concerned
had boon dotnehed from llenver CI'

ment and tho tlmo for levying th

BOWS TO LAW OF SEAS
GERMANY APPEALS TO UNITED
STATES' FRIENDSHIP.
Kaiser's Government Will Yield If
Great Britain Heeds Interna
tional Regulations.
Washington March 10. Count von
Bernstorff, tho German ambassador,
on instructions from his government,
handed to Secretary Lansing on
Wednesday a long memorandum ex
plaining in detail tho German posltton
In regard to armed merchant ships and
tho causes leading up to tho decision
of the central European powers to tor
pedo without warning nil armed mer
chantmen of their enemies.
Tho memorandum contains tho alle
gation that Great Britain had taken
advantago of tho contention of tho
United States that Americans must bo
safo on defensively armed merchant
men, to havo thoso ships act offen
sively toward enemy submerslblcs.
The German government expresses
a willingness to operate Its submarines
In accordance with International law
prevailing prior to tho war, provided
Great Britain docs not violate the
same laws.
The German government concedes
that as submarines aro a new engino
of warfare, international law as at
present constituted makes no provi
sion for their use.
Tho memorandum contends that tho
ovldenco appended to tho lato German
announcement, proves that British
ships armed ostensibly for defense
havo been Instructed to act, and have
acted offensively, and that they aro
not peaceful traders, as tho United
States was assured they would be by
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, tho British am
bassador.
The memorandum also reiterates the
provlous declaration that submarine
warfare was begun by Germany In re
prisal for tho announced Intention of
Great Britain to starve tho civilian
population of tho central empires.
Tho memorandum also refers to tho
long-standing friendship between tho
United States and Germany, and ox
presses the hopo that the Amorlcan
peoplo will, when familiar with tho
explanation offored. fully appreciate
the position In which Germany finds
herself as a result of tho blockade
By way of supporting the contention
that Germany's reprisals aro Justlflod,
tho memorandum enumerates various
actions of Great Britain, which havo
operated against tho Interests of neu-
trals and their cltlzonn. Theso are
cited to show that Greet Britain has
violated International law.

GERMANY HANDS PASSPORTS Ta
PORTUGUESE MINISTER AT
BERLIN.
REFUSED TO RELEASE SHIPS
Declaration Enumerates Long Series
of Breaches of Neutrality Military
Clashes In South Africa Cited Per
mitted English to Use Ports.
Berlin, March 11. Germany do
clared war on Portugal at 3:30 o'clock;
Wednesday afternoon nnd banded bis
passports to tho Portuguese minister.
This action was foreshadowed
when n semiofficial report declared
that an ultimatum had been sent to
Portugal demanding tho immediate ro
leaso of tho German ships. The hand
ing of his passports to tho Portuguese
ambassador In Berlin was given ua
tho action that would follow a refusal
to comply with the Imperial demands.
Tho declaration enumerates a long,
series of breaches of neutrality by
tho Portuguese government, such as
the permission of freu passage lo-
Lnglleh troops through tho colony
of Mozambique, tho permission given
English men-of-war to uso Portugueso
ports for a tlmo exceeding that given
noutrals, and tho permission given tho
English navy to use Madeira as a
naval base
Actual engagements between Por
tugueso nnd German troops on tho
frontier of Gorman Southwest Africa
nnd Angola and frequent insults to-
tho Gorman nation by mombers of
tho Portugueso parliament, who wero
nover reprimanded, aro also cited.
Tho declaration states that, accord
ing to tho treaty between tho two
nations, tho solzuro should bavo been
preceded by an agreement regarding;
tho price to bo paid tho owners and
that tho selzuro was only Justlflablo
In caso of public necessity in Portu
gal, whereas tho tonnage of tho ship
was evidently larger than that needed
at Portugal's disposal. It Is further
stated that tho Portuguese govern
ment did not even try to enter Into
communication with tho German own
ers or tho German government.
"Tho Portugueso government by
theso acts openly gave evidence that
Portugal considers herself England's
vassal, for whom England's Interests
and wishes aro paramount In com
parison with other considerations,"
the declaration continues. "Tho
Portugueso government seized tho
ships In a fashion which must bo
considered as an Intentional provoca
tion of Germany. Tho German flag
was hauled down on board tho ships
and tho Portugueso flag, with tho war
emblem, set, whllo the admiral's ship
fired a salute."
