UNUSUAL SUIT OVER
WAYNE COUNTY LAND
Lincoln, Neb., April >Speciol.)—
As one reason for noi paying the
$106,000 additional that he agreed to
hand over to Edward Perry in a
deal of 366 acres of Wayne county
land, Charles Meyer, Jr., told the
supreme court, where his appeal
from an adverse Judgment was sub
mitted, that a trust deed to the land
made 62 years ago stands in the
way of his securing a perfect title
to the land.
Back In 1871, Willard Oraves made
a deed In which he put all of his
holdings in a trust for the purpose
of founding a college at which "lib
eral courses of study should be
taught to persons of both sexes and
of every race and faith." His one
stipulation was that it be built along
the Union Pacific railway. Dona
tions from others, including the town
that got the College, were to be ac
cepted.
The trustees were to rent the land,
invest the proceeds, and at the end
of 26 years, sell the land for the
benefit of the college. The trustees
never qualified, and the heirs brought
suit to have the deed declared void.
The trustees made only a nominal
defense, and the heirs got the land.
They sold it in the course of time,
and now Meyer says that tVils was a
public trust and is still alive because
the public, the real defendant, was
not made a party to the suit brought
O J tllV tICii <•.
Perry’B lawyers told the court that
after Meyer had paid the $30,090
down and executed notes and a mort
gage for $106,000, the boom collapsed
and value decreased, so that at pres
ent values he stands to lose $60,000.
Meyer's wants his money back and
the land returned to Perry, becausel
he could not give a merchantable
title. He pleaded that as Perry will
get the land under foreclosure he
ought not to complain.

hints of quitting soon were not en
tertained. The house has now been
In continuous session for <8 days.
Two years ago It was In actual ses
sion >1 days and the senate 82 days.
The final adjournment was April 28.
The house will dive Into the ap
propriation bills during the week.
The action of the house committee on
finance In cutting off $800,00 from the
budget estimate of Governor Bryan
will In all probability be approved.
Th« legislature Is committed to the
utmost economy In public expendi
tures during the next two years.
The friends of the extension de
partment of the university are much
disappointed over the reduction of
nearly $100,000 In the biennial esti

of the corresponding benefits from
the federal appropriation.

men to Lincoln to send them to tits

Start to Sift.
De* Moines, la., March ~t (Special).
—Today’s fight In the senate was on
the Buser bill to require annual state
audit of the state rair board, the
board of education and the highway
commission. Buseh charged that
there were several things In the re
port of these Institutions which
looked suspicious and cited one spe
cific Instance when he said "the fair
board built a $14,000 residence for Its
secretary out of state funds.”
Later speakers revealed that this
residence Is on the fair grounds and
Is occupied by the person who acts as
the custodian of the stats property
there.
The bill was passed by a close
vote. Senators who opposed Its ar
gued that the present laws author
ised examination of the departments
In question by the state accountant,
who Is under orders of the state ex
ecutive council. Tho only reason such
examinations have not been made,
they said, was that the legislature
has always neglected to give him
enough help.
The senate decided today to go on
a sifting committee basis on April
5, next Thursday, and 12 days before
adjournment. Under the rule adopt
ed today this committee will take
over all bills not then on tho senate
calendar and no bill will be brought
up for consideration after that time

committee.

It was finally passed by the house
ars to Increase the pay of assistant

The anomalous situation Is caused

from the will of the late i\ J. Doyle,
filed for probate In county court here,
read Jjke paragraphs from a love let
ter. He wrote tenderly of the pro
found affection he had for his wife.
He wrote:
‘t'Jow, dear Lide, something tells
me I am speaking my farewell to you.
Believe me, it is the hardest duty I
ever had to preform. You have been
all this W'orld to me.
"The most serious regret In the
thought of dissolution is the separ
ation from you. Now, dear Llde,
good bye. Should I speak fully the
sentiments which thrill my soul the
world would mock me when I am
gone. Believe me, with every fibre
of my being I am Intensely and un
compromisingly yours.”
“Of ills religion Mr. Doyle wrote:
"I believe in the immortality of the
soul, In future rewards and punish
ment, in the efficacy of prayer, in the
absolute authority of the Catholic
church in all things spiritual pertain
ing to this world, that the moss is the
most efficacious appeal the world

FOOT LOSS
Railroad Company Held Re
sponsible for Presence of
Explosive In Car
Load of Coal.
Lincoln, Neb.. March * -Special).—
Johnny O’Hara, 18-year-old boy,
blind in both eyes as the result of an
accident four years ago, is to get
the $37,500 judgment that the su
preme court some time ago held the
road should pay. Friday afternoon it
overruled the railroad’s plea for a re
hearing, and a mandate will issue re
quiring payment.
The boy was working on a coal
car for the road, and in it he found a
fulminating cap of the kind used in
coal mining, which had not been ex
ploded. In investigating it he pulled
a wire that sent the charge into his
eyes. The company insisted that it
was not part of the boy’s job to in
vestigate the character of objects
found in cars, and while sorry for him
insisted it could not be held liable.
The court says it was clearly liable
for the negligence that resulted in the
deadly explosive being in the car.
REHEARING DENIED IN
BANK TAXATION COST
Lincoln,' Neb., March (Special.)
—The supreme court Friday aftern
noon entered a decree denying the
application of the attorney general
for a rehearing of the case in which
it decided that the levy of state bank
taxes for the full value of the stock
was invalid. It appeared that when
the legislature passed the intangible
tax law, which says that moneys and
credits shall be listed at 25 per cent,
of their value, it made it impossible
for the state, under a federal law, to
tax national banks stock any more
than 25 per cent. This, in turn, cre
ated a discriminative condition
against the state banks, and let them
in under the same provision, in spite
of the fact that the state law clearly
says they shall be taxed at their full
value.
GASOLINE INSPECTION
LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Lincoln, Neb., March -—In an
opinion handed down Friuay evening
the supreme court held unconstitu
tional the law providing for a tax of
6 cents a barrel for inspection «f gas
oline, the question being raised in the
case of the Century Oil Company
against the state department of agri
culture. The court finds that "in
practical operation under existing
conditions a statutory fee of 6 cents
a barrel fof inspecting gasoline
creates an *ccesstve fund in the
nature of revenue in addition to the
expenses of inspection and for that
reason violates the constitutional pro
visions relating to taxation."
In the district court where the case
was tried the opinion held that the
fee might be regarded as in the
nature of an excise tax. The case
was before the supreme court six
years ago and the ruling is practical
ly identical.

from Ira, where she had gone to
visit friends on E&ster Sunday.
The cause of the fire has not been

safety after discovering the flames
was Indicated by slight signs of
