CEDAR COUNTY
CASE ON TRIAL
School District Demands
State Funds; Claim Made
It Is Church Institution
Lincoln, Neb. —(Special)— Dis
trict Judge Broady is hearing the
case of Cedar county school district
No. 6 against the state superinten
dent of schools to force payment to
the school district of the state ap
portionment which Superintendent
Taylor has refused to turn over.
Attorneys for the district con
tend that the school district is en
titled to the state funds since taxes
are paid for that purpose and that
the superintendent has no right to
deny payment. They further claim
that the school makes reports to
and is recognized by the county su
perintendent as a public school.
The attorneys for the state argue
that the school is in reality a paro
chial school, a sign bearing the
words, Sa. Boniface school, being
in evidence over the entrance and
the teachers of the school wearing
garb peculiar to their sect. They
claim that up to the fourth grade
the school Is in charge of the local
church, while the higher grades are
under the supervision of the priest,
and that sectarian instruction is
being given.
The records of the school were
introduced at the opening of the
case and witnesses included Paul
Q. Goeden of Fordyce, director;
George Kast of Fordyce modera
tor; Mike McCoy of Hartington,
county superintendent, and others
connected with the affairs of the
school district.

ernor Bryan has refused to grant
a requisition from the governor of
Iowa to return W. H. Barnhart of
Norfolk to Atlantic, la . to answer a

purchased sheep which were paid
for with a postdated check for $994.

animals because of disease and the

judgment, but were un: ole to col
lect.
An opinion from the attorney

note and no crltninel intent is
shown. -“

five men will be added to the pro
hibition enforcement organization
of the ninth enforcement district,
which includes Nebraska, at the be
ginning of the new fiscal year, the
federal prohibition bureau has an
nounced.
The present force of the ninth
district, which includes Nebraska,
Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri,
consists of 80 agents and an in
creasing this force to 105 men, the
bureau expects materially to im
prove conditions within the district.
The district consists at present of
271,970 .square miles and includes
a population of 9,746,665. From
July 1 io October 31 there were 1,
491 arrests for prohibition law vio

PAYS TAXES ON
SCULLY LANDS
English Family Makes No
Improvements on Its
Nebraska Holdings
Beatrice, Neb.—(Special)—Virgil
R. Johnson, agent for the Scully in
terests in England, paid taxes
here of $18,911.96 on the 25,000
acres of Gage county lands owned
by the Scully family. They com
prise almost 5 per cent of the land
area of the county. If all were put
in one township they would fill it
completely and leave 24 farms over.
The taxes paid were on land
only, the improvements all being
assessed separately. The Scullys
own no Improvements. The land is
all occupied and operated by les
sees and these lessees own every
improvement. The tenants pay the
taxes on the land to the Scully
agent, who delivers the money to
the county treasurer and takes a
receipt In the Scully name.
The tenants pay the taxes on the
improvements, which are listed as
personal property and assessed in
the name of the tenant, to the
county treasurer. The total as
sessed value of the land and im
provements runs Into the millions
of dollars.
FALLS C ITY HAS OFFER
FOR MUNICIPAL BUILDING
Falls City, Neb. —(UP)—In order
to realize on the offer of $55,000 in
property for the erection of a mu
nicipal auditorium, Falls City may
hnve to become* a city of first class
rating.
Mrs. Laura Prichard, long-time
resident of the county, has offered
the city property valued at $55,000
to be used for the erection of the
auditorium—providing the city
matches the gift with a like amount
of money.
As a second class city now, bonds
cannot be issued in excess of $23,
000, city officials claim. By taking
advantage of the last census fig
ures, city officials can certify to
the governor the last census re
port and by proclamation can be
declared a city of the first class.
Changing to the first class city
division entails many problems ad
ditionally, which city officials are
debating before attempting to
“make good" on the $55,000 gift by
a bond issue.
ARRESTING OFFICER
FORCED TO RESIGN
Lincoln, Neb.—(UP)—Criticism of
his action in arresting Ben F. Dan
baum, former Omaha police in
spector and chief of detectives, has
brought about the resignation of
Officer William Maunier, Lincoln
motorcycle officer.
Maunier arrested the former
Omaha detective, now a private in
vestigator, for allegedly breaking
speed regulatory laws. Chief of Po
lice Anderson has stated the Onm
han will be asked to answer the
charge in municipal court here. The
cas?, Anderson said, probably will
be heard early next week.
Danbaum had informed Chief
Anderson he was ordered to go to
the police station, regardless of the
fact that Mrs. Danbaum was with
him and the further fact that ha
had an appointment for a certain
hour. Instructions regarding such
situations were issued Thursday by
Chief Anderson. Maunier's resig
nation followed.
The officer denied he had acted
other than as a gentleman in tak
ing Danbaum to the police station.
JAIL BREAKER FINALLY
BACK BEHIND BARS
White River, S. D.—Arrested In
Grand Island, Neb., Vincent Con
nelly and his brother, Andy, were
brought to White River and lodged
in the county jail. The former is
charged with having broken jail
here four years ago this month,
while his brother is charged with
assisting him to escape. The search
for the fugitive had continued since
the jailbreak four years ago.
In November, 1926, Vincent Con
nelly was convicted in circuit court
here of grand larceny. He was sen
tenced to three years in the state
penitentiary at Sioux Falls. Before
officers had fixed a date when they
would take him to the penitentiary
to commence his term, he succeed
ed in making his escape from the
Jail.
A coincidence in the case is that
it was exactly four years to a day
after his escape when he was recap
tured in Grand Island.

President Hoover, in his budget message to Congress,
.•stimates that it will cost $3,995,270,312 to run the federal
government for the fiscal year 1931-1932. It is impossible to
compare this figure with the expenditures for 1930-1931, fo~
these will not be completed until June 30, 1931. The 1931

Color in Egypt.
From “Camels” by Daniel W.
Streeter.
This was the first day I experi
fnced the entire cycle of Egyptian
coloring from dawn to sunset. It
was kaleidoscopic. At dawn the
iir was sharp. The river flowed
silently under a seething, snowy
:ounterpane of mist. Above its vir
ginal green banks the hills rose,
mysterious and purple in the face of
the rising sun. Gradually their arid
fastnesses, the narrow strip of green
fringed it and the thread of river
itself, were suffused by pinkish
tints ineffably delicate and soft.
Over all, a deep inscrutable blue,
rested the sky.
Midday. The white heat of an
electric furnace. Bluffs and but
tresses of rock cast bluish black
shadows on satin-like sand drifts.

Affects Railroad Pensions.
From Ramona (S. D.) Times.
The pensioners of the Chicago
and North Western railroad have
received notice of a 10 per cent cut
in their checks beginning this week.
To maintain a pension fund the
road has annually set aside a por
tion ot the earnings. The last year
has been disastrous for this fund,
hence the decision of the company
is to reduce the amount of the pen
sion. It is feared by many of the
old men who are subsisting on this
small stipend, that the system may
be entirely stopped. On April 1 we
understand the grain rate cut goer
into effect and this will cuita!’.

about 80 tons of wood available, it
has been estimated.

BRING FRIENDLY SUIT
TO SETTLE ESTATE
Omaha, Neb.—Heirs to the $850,
000 estate of the late Judge James
Neville, of Omaha, filed a friendly
suit in district court here Wednes
day to untangle the strange provi
sions of his will, which, the heirs
said, decreed, paradoxically, that
they could not obtain the estate
until they were dead.
Judge Neville, who died 10 year3
ago in California, apparently hoped
to tie up the estate for two genera
tions and thereby to insure its
growth to tremendous proportions.
In the will he provided that his es
tate “should not be divided until
the death of my present living
grandchildren."
A year ago County Judge Craw
ford assured the heirs that, all par
ties having agreed, the estate might
be divided. The case was taken to
district court Wednesday, however,
that a final decree, from which
there can be no appeal, might be
entered.
In the suit the judge's two sons
and the widow of a third son are
named as plaintiffs and all the
grandchildren as defendants. The
three plaintiffs are Elmer J. Ne
ville, Los Angeles; George Neville,
St. Louis, and Mrs. Eugene J. Ne
ville, Los Angeles.
