Yet in Force
Attorney General Sorensen Not Cer

Faither Moves.
Attorney General Scrensen raid
Tuesday aftornoon he was undecided
on whether the Schcpman truck and
bus bill will bo in force if an apioal
is not takon by the Xebraska Motor
Transport a-ociat ion, intervenors, or
a supersedeas bond is not filed. Xo
appeal is to be taken by Secretary
of State Mar.-?h or by the truckers
association, it has been announced.
Throe months tim3 iz allowed for the
taking of an appeal from the order
of Judge Shepherd which enjoins the
sccreiaiy of state from placing the
S:hepnian law on the referendum
ballot in November.
The attorney general said he had
no information that any disposition
had been made by the district court
of a previous order issued by Judge
Chanpcll which restrain stata offi
cials from enforcing the increased
registration lees for trucks and buses
Tho safety feature cf the law wa;
held by Judge Chapptll not suspend
ed by the referendum petition, a p'eti
tion now found by Judge Shepherd
inadequate in number of legal peti
tioners.
Secretary Cochran of the depart
ment of public works said he h
nothing to say as he did not know
anything concerning the last order
of the ourt. Governor Bryan. wITo
vetoed the 3- hepman law and cent
it back to the legislature which, over
rode his veto and passed it again
was reported in the western part of
the ftate "inspecting highways.'
The fight agr.init tho bill and
against the referendum has been
costlv for both sides. The truckers
association collected a fund of $ti.
727 to nav expenses of obtaining a
petition of Go, 000 names. The rail
roads took a part in collecting evi
dence against the sufficiency of the
petition, and hearings were held in
seventy 'counties. A long trial with
all expenses costs approximately
25,000 according to estimates.
Altho the district court had pre
viously issued an order suspending
only the f?es In the law and holding
that tlie safety featura were not sus
pended by referendum, it is alleged
that no part of the law has been en
forced by tho governor and depart
ment of public works.
At a meeting of truckers the state
mtnt was made that the suspension
cf legistration fees in the Schepman
law had saved truckers $250,000
The fees in the law applying to com
mercial trucks are bacsd upon the

Omaha. In refusing to consider
the request of J. G. Masters, prin
cipal of Central high school, that
tlie marriage of his son, Jose, twen
ty, to Mariel Russell, eighteen, be
annulled. Judge Herbert Rhodes held .
that the legal age for. contracting
mariiage in Xebraska without the
consent qf parents or guardians is
eighteen for males and sixteen for
females.
Rhoades kept the case open, how
ever, by telling C. E. Walsh, attor
ney for Masters, that the order keep
ing the young people apart would
be tontinucd if Walsh would file mo
tion for a new trial. Walsh filed
the motion.
Walsh contended that the statute
clearly set forth that while consent
to marriage can be given at the ages
of eighteen and sixteen, parental
consent i necessary before the con
tract can legally be entered into.
Young .Masters In obtaining a li
cense gave his age as twenty-one.
and the girl had the consent of her
mother.
