60 DECLARED BY FEDERAL
.., COURT AT' LINCOLN.
JUDGES SITTING IN THE CASE
rJ' V -
Injunction Restraining Governor From
Piftting the Law Into Effect Is
Mads Permanent
Lincoln, Neb. The federal court
has made perpetual the temporary re
straining order against Governor Shal
lenberger and members of the State
Banking board, preventing them from
enforcing the provisions of the guar
anty banking law enacted by the re
cent legislature.
Circuit Judge Willis VanDevanter
and District Judge Thomas C. Munger
filed the decree, holding the law un
constitutional, being in violation of
the constitution of the United States
and of the state of Nebraska.
The court holds the provisions
which forbid an individual from en
gaging in the state banking business
without Incorporating la in violation
of the fourteenth amendment to the
federal constitution, and section 3, ar
ticle 1, of the Nebraska constitution,
as is the enforced contributions to
the guaranty fund.
The decree makes the temporary
injunction perpetual and taxes ' the
costs of the case to the defendants,
Governor Shallenberger and the mem
bers of the State Banking board and
the secretary to the banking board
appointed by the governor, Samuel
Patterson.
Syllabus of the Case.
The syllabus in the case is as fol
lows: 1. Constitutional Law. Due Pro
cess of Law. Banking. Restricting
Business to Corporations. ' Guaranty
Fund.
The Nebraska act of Mark 25, 1909
(Laws Neb., 1909, ch. 10, p. 68), which
prohibits individuals from engaging in
the banking business, unless they do
so through the agency of a corpora
tion, and which also conditions the
right to engage in that business In that
form upon the making of enforced
contributions from time to time to a
depositors' guaranty fund to be em
ployed in the payment of the claims of
depositors of any bank which shall be
come insolvent, is in conflict with sec
tion 1 of the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution of the United
States, which provides:
"No state shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state de
prive any person pt life, liberty or
property without due process of law,"
and is in conflict with section 3 of ar
ticle i of the constitution of Nebraska,
which declarers: "No person shall be
deprived of life, liberty or property
without due process of law," and
therefore is void.
2. Same. Void provision, when in
ducement to passage of act, renders
entire act invalid.
The provisions of the Nebraska act
of March 25, 1909, supra, which pro
hibit individuals from engaging in the
banking business, unless they do so
through the agency of a 'Corporation,
and also condition the right to engage
in that business in that form upon the
making of enforced contributions from
time to time to a depositors' guaranty
fund to be employed in the payment
of the claims of depositors of any
bank which shall become insolvent,
were the inducement to the passage
of that act, and as those provisions,
so coupled together, are void, the en
tire act is thereby rendered invalid.
No Extra Session.
Governor Shallenberger, after read
ing the decision, said he saw no re
course except to appeal the case to
the supreme court of the United
States. Under the decision, he said,
the legislature could not pass a guar
anty bill which would meet the test
and therefore there was nothing to
be gained by calling an extra session.
TWO PRESIDENTS MEET.
Chief Executives of United States and
Mexico Clasp Hands,
El Paso, Tex. The long-expected
meeting between President Taft of
the United States and President Diaz
of the Republic of Mexico occurred
here Saturday. Outwardly it was at
tended wtih a display of soldiery, a
blare of trumpets, a boom of can
non and a pomp of ceremony sug
gestive of supreme authority, but in
the 'actual hand-clasp of the two ex
ecutives and in the exchange of
courteous words which passed from
lip to lip, there was simple but cor
dial informality.
Suit for $236,625,000.
Chicago An amended petition for
a writ of mandamus to compel the
board of review to tax stock owned
by Chicago millionaires, whose total
holdings are valued by the petitioner
at $236,625,000, was filed in the cir
cuit court by an attorney for the
Illinois Tax Reform 'league.
American Diplomat Dead.
London William I. Buchanan of
Buffalo, N. Y., former American min
ister to the Argentine republic and
to Panama, who had been closely
identified with several important
American diplomatic missions, met a
tragic death on a London street He
was discovered lying on a sidewalk
in Park Lane, near the American em
bassy, in a dying condition a few
minutes before 12 o'clock, and was
carried to St George's hospital, a
short distance. He was dead when
the ambulance reached the hospital.
Dynamite Causes Alarm In Boston.
Boston, Mass. Consternation was
caused among the employes at the
North station here Friday when a stick
of dynamite fell out of a box as it was
being removed from the baggage car
of the St John's express train. An
examination disclosed nineteen other
sticks of dynamite, 50 pounds of black
powder, several cartridges and a box
of matches. A man who gave the
name as. Michael Senla presented a
check for the box, and was arrested
on a charge of transporting explosives
without permission.

State Historical Society.
Eighteen of the twenty-four old set
tlers' societies and local historical so
cieties known to exist in the state
have became auxiliary to the State
Historical society since the move
ment to unite such organizations was
started about a year ago. These lo
cal societies are constantly getting
hold of good material and in this
way are an aid to the state society,
besides giving it representatives in
the. different parts of the state. Fifty
five new members of the State His
torical society have been added to
the list of membership during the
past three months, making the mem
bership now 800. Also an addition
of 160 new titles has been made to
the library in the same time. The
officers of the society reoprt a notice
able increase in the use of the li
brary, especially by members of the
different women's clubs who are en
gaged in historical study. The soci
ety has just had fifty-eight volumes
of Nebraska daily newspapers bound
and Mr. Hannan of the newspaper
department has started cataloging
the different volumes, of which there
are 3,400 now bound. Besides these
there are 253 volumes of foreign
newspapers. These will all be cata
loged according to the Dewey sys
tem, which is used in the library.
During 'the last three months thirty
six different newspapers have been
added to the collection, making 494
now being received.
The State Teachers' Meeting,
At the state teachers' meeting to
be held in Lincoln November 3-6 the
plan for the annual banquet has been
changed. Last year an immense
union affair was pulled off at the Au
ditorium, but it was found that this
structure or any other that could be
obtained in the city was not commo
dious enough to accommodate all the
applicants for plates. So this year
there will be banquets in four divi
sions. One of these, the normal
training, high schools and the junior
normal schools, has already sent out
its program and called on all mem
bers of the association affiliated with
this branch of public education to en
roll at once if they wish to attend
the yearly spread. It will be held at
the First Christian church, corner of
Fourteenth and M streets, and will
be served by the ladies of the church
at so much per plate.
The Squirrel Harvest.
Squirrel hunters are reaping a rich
harvest around Lincoln. The rodents
are not hard to shoot, which led to a
law a few years ago to protect them.
Now that they have multiplied ex
tensively in the timbered stretches
of the state under this very law, and
a recent law passed gives them over
to the nimrod for two months each
fall, the results have been apparent.
Hunters going out to the woods near
this city have returned usually with
as many as they cared to carry. Far
ther east in the state it is said the
supply is much greater.
To Begin October: 25.
Notice has been sent out from the

fact, that the October term will be
gin on October 25.
Labor Temple for Lincoln.
The Lincoln Labor Temple asso
ciation bought the brick building at
217-219 North Eleventh street for
$18,000. Work will be started imme
diately to prepare the building for a
labor temple.
Compromise With Traction Company.
The city of Lincoln and the Lincoln
Traction company is about to get to
gether again in some kind of an
agreement. The company desired to
pay some $40,000 back taxes out of
future earnings before the city got
its share and it wanted also to have
its heating plant pay an income on
$71,000. The latest agreement is for
the company to pay its $40,000 taxes
out of past earnings and the city
agrees to permit the company to earn
7 per cent on a valuation of $2,190,
000. Lincoln Man to Bring Suit.
Herman Becket of Lincoln, who was
Injured In an automobile accident in
Pottawatamie county, Iowa, several
-weeks ago, because of a defective

Disease Seemed Incurable. v
Cured by Cuticura for $1.50.
'"When my little boy was two and a
half months old he broke out on both
cheeks with eczema. It was the itchy,
watery kind and we had to keep bis
little hands wrapped up all the time,
and if he would happen to get them
uncovered he would claw his face till
the blood streamed down on his cloth
ing. We called in a physician at once,
but he gave an ointment which was so
severe that my babe: would scream
when it was put on. Wo changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse. I was so worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that I almost felt sure the disease
was Incurable. But finally reading of
the good results of the Cuticura Rem
edies, I determined to try them. I
can truthfully say I was more than
surprised, for I bought only a dollar
and a half's worth of the Cuticura
Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Pills), and they did more good than
all my doctors' medicines I had tried,
and in fact entirely cured him. His
