WASHINGTON , May 2. Jacob Slecher
Coxey , the chief ot the Commonweal amry.

Bwer to the courts for the part they took

erable array of populist lawyers to defend
them , their counsel Including Representa
tives Tence of Colorado , Haker of Kansas ,
Kem of Nebraska , Hoen of Minnesota and
Adjutant General Tarsney of Colorado , u
brother of Representative Tarsney of MIs-
Kourl. Counsel asked that f.100 In cash be
accepted In lieu of real citato ball for
Coxey's appearance , but the Judge refused
to accept It , and Coxey and Jones were
taken to the police station.
CASES POSTPONED UNTIL FRIDAY.
There was a crowd of curious people sur
rounding the district court In expectation of
the trial of Drowne and Jones and It was
disappointed at the postponement of their
cases until next Friday. The crowd like
wise was disappointed at Its failure to gain
admittance to the court room to view the
proceedings , only those persons who could
give some good reason for their presence
being admitted. Among the earliest arrivals
at the court were Coxey , Urowno and Jones.
They weru soon Joined by four populist mem
bers of congress. Lute Pence of Colorado.
| \V * . N. Haker , Haider Hoen , W. II. Kem and
Adjutant Ucneral Tarsney , who offered their
cervices as counsel. Marshal Carl Urowno
was attired In his spectacular buckskin suit ,
and the party engaged In consultation until
Judge Miller ascended to the bench , when
Ilrowiio and -Jones ivnlked behind the railing
into the jiriuoners * enclosure , accompanied by
Coxey.
Sevej-al minor cases -were first disposed of.
During these proceedings the group of 'pym-
patlilrcrs was augmented "by the arrival of
Chairman Tauboneclc .and Secretary Turner
of the central committee of the people's
party arjd Dr. T. A. HIand , a AVashhigton
third party man. . , -
Assistant District -Attorney Mnllowney , a
smooth-faced , blonde-haired , young man , ap
peared as prosecutor of tlnr Coxeyltes , and
announced : "I have been Informed that a
man named Jacob S. Coxey Is In court , and
after un Investigation last night I have
thought myself warranted In filing an In
formation against him. I have made out
a warrant , but If he Is willing to submit
1 do not care to have It served upon Him. "
This was a surprise , and Coxey spoke :
"I'm here ard ready.1' '
Then he stepped forward to the bar and
"Attorney Samuel Hymnn said : "First , we
nsk It all the Informations have been filed
that the government Intends to make out ? "
"That Is not the question , " replied the
Judge.
Then the Information charging Jacob S.
Coxoy with unlawfully displaying n banner
or device was read and he replied : "Not
guilty. "
DEMANDED A JURY.
The accused elected to bo tried by jury
find the hearing of the case was sot for
i'rlday morning.
When the question of ball came up one. of
the lawyers for the accused said : "It is a
moral certainty that these gentlemen would
remain here ten years for trial. "
"Wo want legal certainty , " replied Judge
Miller , and ho fixed the amount ot the bond
in each case at $500.
Marlllo Rlcker , a feminine attorney of
this city , came forward to offer ball for Gen
eral Coxey , b.ut Assistant District Attorney
Mullowncy reminded her of a provision of
law which forbids attorneys from signing
ball bonds. Subsequently Frank Hume , a
wholesale grocer , signed the bond fur Coxey
and Jones. Hrowne was released on ball
last night , the bonds being signed by Mrs.
llrlggs ot this city.
Soon after his release Coxey was seen
in his room at the National hotel with Mrs.
Coxey and Legal Tender. Samuel Gompers.
the president of the American Federation nf
Labor , was at the hotel , and had n talk with
Mr. Coxey , which talk the latter did not
care to reveal.
"The Federation of Labor endorsed our
bills some months ago , " he said.
In discussing his arrest , the chief of the
Commonweal army said : " 1 am certain 1
have not been guilty of lawbreaklng. I saw
the vice president at 9 o'clock yesterday
morning , and he told mo hn would consult
Si.vukcr CrUp about laying aside the regu
lations forbidding specchmaklng on the capitol
tel grounds I am certain the law Is un
constitutional , and I wanted to test U. I
left my army and walked peacea
bly to the capital steps , bearing no
banner or device which the law
forbids. I demanded ot lh > police the ex
ercise of my right. When they refused me ,
I asked It I could read a protest. They re
fused that , and I made no attempt to speaker
or read , merely asking them la accept the
protest , which they refused. I turned and
made my way luck from the groumU. It
there was lawlessness In my action I fall to

in a quiescent state today. There were no
Hlsorders nor demonstrations of any kind
requiring the presence of the large force

themselves down to a temporary period of
comparative Inactivity , Some attempt Is
making to Improve the appearance of thu

Commander tlnfT Wilt Miirrli lilt Men to

LINCOLN. May 2. ( Special to The Uce. )
Lincoln's Commonweal army folded Its tent
and stole away so quietly last night that no
one In the city suspected that It had gone.
The Mart was made a few minutes after 11
o'clock , only two men outsldo of the mem
bers of the organisation being taken Into the
secret. It had been aiinounc.d that the army
would move thlx morning , and consequently
the people who have been contributing to Its
support were agreeably surprised to discover
this morning that they would not be called
upon for another day's rations. Commander
Duff gathered his men about him In the big
circus tent and In low tones gave them his
Instructions. Kvery effort was made to keep
the departure a secret , but at the last
moment a well known H. & M. detective was
discovered hiding In the pile of hay that had
been occupied as a bed by the army during
the past week. The detective was dragged
from his hiding place and unceremoniously
kicked around the tent and then fired out
Into the outer darkness.
A few moments after 11 o'clock the start
was made. The army was divided Into two
dlvlslens of twenty each , aftecn backing out
at the final moment. Commander Duff took
the lead of one division and marched It
east on M strpjt to FlfU-enth , then to Nine
teenth , then north to R , thence to Twenty-
seventh street , where It was Joined by the
other division , under command cf Lieutenant
Condon , which had marched east on N street
to Twenty-seventh , and thence north to the
place of meeting. Then the two divisions
marclur out of tie | city , taking the direct
road to Waverly. which It proposed to reach
by early morning.
Commander Duff maintained the strictest
secrecy as to his plans. U Is known , however -
over , that he expects to reach Ashland by
this evening and Omaha by tomorrow. The
men claim that they will walk the entire
distance to the metropolis , but the railroad
Olllcials in this city affect to belleva- that
the army will endeavor to board a freight
train at some point along the road tonight.
It Is also hinted that Commander Duff Is
confident that he will be selected to le"id the
Omaha contingent. Ho has bsen largely
instrumental In organizing the Lincoln com
pany , and Is well fitted to assume command.
He has it military bearing of the Carl Sohtirz
type , his blonde beard and gold spectacles
making him resemble a German college pro
fessor more than anything else. He is a
printer by profession , and left a position on
the Dally News In this city to assume the
command of the army. As a journeyman
printer he has , of course , traveled over a
greater part of the United States and Is
a quiet , dlgnllled and well Informed man.
Ho hopes to Join Kelly's army before It
leaves Des Moines , and In order to do so
may conclude to disperse his men In small
parties and Instruct them to reach Des
Moines as best they can. and then meet him
at a designated rendezvous.
ASHLAND , Neb. , May 2. ( Special Tele
gram to The Uee. ) W. A. Duff's Conunon
wealers nrrivcd in the city about half past
4 this afternoon. The men met with a
very cool reception In the city , the mayor
refusing to glvo them any aid whatever In
the line of shelter' and provisions. The
army numbers about thirty. Commander
DufT says the men have no political belief ,
and they arc not luuus and dead beats.
They have camped for the evening In the
eastern part ot the town In a house loaned
them by Atttorney Thompson. The men
don't seem to know whether they will walker
or ride to Washington.

DES MOINES , May 2. ( Special Telegram
to The Heo. ) The question ot transportation
for Kelly's army out ot Des Moines hangs
fire , ami scelin to be as far from settlement
as ever. It was thought this morning that
everything was arranged for the army to
move out In box cars this afternoon. Trans
portation to Keokuk by way of the Des
Moines & Kansas City and Keokuk & West
ern roads had been offered at ? 2 a head , and
It Is bald that thu money would have been
forthcoming , but somebody , elt'or at Keokuk
or elsewhere "touched the button , " and the
following dispatch received by the citizens'
committee dashed that hope to the ground :
KKOICriC , In. , May 2. A. P. Lowcry :
Torma and rates given you yesterday for
Kelly's army arj hereby wlthdiawn. Cannot
accept less than tariff.
A. C. GOODRICH , Supt.
The transportation committees visited the
Chicago Great Western office this afternoon
and offered the local agents $1,000 to carry
the army to Chicago. Agent Noyes and
Assistant General Superintendent Hcrllnger
gave them to understand that the company
would not haul the army for anything less
than regular rates. The superintendent as
sured them that he could not make any
special rate , either to transport the army
In couches or box cars. The committee
Is expecting to make some arrangements
to get the army out of town tomorrow ,
If the arrangements had not failed
today the plan would have been for the army
to go over the Des Moines & Kansas City
road to Its junction with the Humcston &
Shenandoah , to n connection with the
Keokuk & Western , and get them Into
Keokuk , from whence It Is believed the army
could get a boat down the river to St.
Louis. Neither of the three lines named Is
a member of the Western Passenger associa
tion , which lias been the great obstacle In
the way of getting a train.
MEN WERE EAGER TO MOVE.
Supposing the agreement should be carried
out , the committee Informed Kelly , and
preparations were being made to get the
army in readiness for departure this morn
ing. The men were delighted and arose
cheerful and buoyant this morning , Chappy
In the belief that they would soon be on
their way to their goal at Washington.
Camp equipage was gathered up and food
prepared for the long ride to the Mississippi
river. Mr. Lowrey , upon receiving the tele
gram quoted , gave up hope of getting n train
and started to canvass the city for provi
sions with which to feed the men today.
"The fact Is , I believe , " said Mr. Lowrey ,
"that the action of the Keokuk & Western
In this case Is the result of the Intolerant
and bulldozing trunk Ifnes of Iowa , which ,
upon learning of our Intention to send the
men out by Independent lines , put on the
screws and choked oft the small roads by
threats to Injure their business. The power
ful and cunning hand of the trunk lines is
plainly visible In this transaction. They arc
determined that the army shall not leave
Des Moines In a body. They want It broken
up , and will hesitate to do nothing In order
to accomplish It. They have swarms of de
tectives In the city , most of whom , I believe ,
are I'Inkcrtons , despite the claim that they
are their own employes oft the Kansas and
Illinois divisions. In carrying out their ob
ject in this case they work secretly , as to
have their actions and secret schemes made
public would arouse a powerful , public senti
ment , which might afterward crystallne Into
laws that would take the sting out of their
power In the future. "
Mr. Lowrey told the reporter that this was
the second time within three days the big
trunk lines had compelled the cancellation
of a contract with other companies to take
Kelly and his army out of town.
The gross receipts for both of Kelly's lec
tures at the opera house yesterday were
{ 200.25 , one-half of which went to the opera
house. From the remaining half was de
ducted ? 92.30 for'band and other expenses ,
which left $32.82 to be divided between the
citizens' committee and Prof. King , who getup
up the affair. Kelly addressed a public
meeting at the camp grounds at 7:30 : this
evening.
A game of base ball was played this after
noon at Athletic park between a nine from
Kelly's army and the Des Moines Stars.
The game resulted C to f In favor of the
Des Moines club. Admittance was charged
and part of the receipts will go to the Kelly
fund. The crowd was not large , only about
500.
Adjutant Adams said that fourteen re
cruits had been listed this forenoon , and
there were many other applications. He
was asked by an army man If he would not
start another company , but Adams sal'd ho
could not unless General Kelly consented.
There are at least fifty applications on
his list , and he says there Is prospect that
500 men will bo taken Into the ranks from
this city.

WILL NOT AID -THE SICK.
The city authorities have refused permis
sion to have the sick taken to the city hos
pital , but entrance was obtained to the
Cuthollu hospital. A hospital was also es
tablished at the camp , In which there were
seventeen patients
General Kelly wns advertised to speak at
Drake University yesterday , the faculty of
which has made Itself very conspicuous In
connection with the Kelly army. A large
audience gathered , but Kelly did not appear.
It Is now stated that General F. M. Drake of
Centervllle , la. , the founder of Drake Uni
versity , telegraphed from Centervllle , re
questing that General Kelly should not speak
at thu University , and that his men should
not be permitted to camp on the university
grounds.
General Master Workman Sovereign of
the Knights of Labor denied today that he
had said all of the things attributed to him
in the dispatches of last night. There are
competent witnesses , however , who say he
did. General Kelly will bn the guest of
Sovereign from now on until he moves on.
Sovereign lives near Kelly's camp. There
were no new developments In the Knights
ot Labor action here today.
In addition to the prospect of a mareh to
Chicago , the army Is threatened with an
empty larder. The effort of the citizens'
committee met with small reward , and the
opinion was generally expressed tonight
that the city would not furnish sufficient
provisions for another day Thn Indications
are that Kelly will have to walk out of town
Friday or starve , and much uneasiness was
felt over the possibility ot the army break
ing up In Des Moines , Kelly reasserted
that he would never walk , and his men
are equally determined. Many of them left
camp and are begging food tonight.
SOVEREIGN WITHOUT POWER.
President Pease of the local American
Railway union wired President Debs today ,
asking him If Grand Master Workman
Sovereign was authorized , as had been In
timated , to call out the railway employes
to secure a train for the army. Pease to
night announced that Debs had replied that
such reports were false , and to pay no at
tention to them. The Trades and Labor
assembly had a meeting tonight , and at a
late- hour decided on action similar to that
taken In Omaha on behalf of Kelly's army.
A call was Issued to all laboring men to
meet In front of the citizens' headquarter * ,
march to the state houvv at 9 o'clock tomor
row morning , and demand that Governor
Jackson tuke such action as will secure a
train for the Industrials. The decision was
nmde after lengthy speeches by General
Weaver , Colonel Spead and others , and was
acc-pted as a last resort
Governor Jark on waa Informed of the ac
tion of the labor organisation * about mid
night , and t'ns jnueh surprised at the
proposed demonstration.
"If the people go cut to the capitol , " ho
said , "I will receive them cordially and
listen attentively to what they have to
say. I have not had time tc consider the
matter , but I do not see what I can do.
There Is no action for me to take that I
know of , and I shall probably tell them
so. "
"Docs thl , to your mind , Indicate a repe
tition of the Omaha demonstration ? " the
governor was asked.
"Well , " he replied , hesitatingly , "It ls too
early to tell. I do not know that there will
bo such trouble , but there may. "
OMAHA'S IlirSV INDUSTRIALS.
Number Now Over Ono Hundred Thinking
of Starting.
Although It looked unfavorable In the early
evening for a large gathering at the Coxey
meeting In Jefferson square , n crowd of
nearly COO assembled after the shower last
night. J. M. Taylor presided and announced
that It was desired to receive recruits to
stay nt home as well as of others to "go to
the front. " George W. Harvel , the recruitIng -
Ing ofllccr , stated that ho wns meeting with
great pticcess In enrolling recruits and that
the lists now showed the names of 110 who
were willing to go to Washington.
H. M. Tlchcnor declared that the time for
action had arrived. He wanted Uncle Sam
to do for the army of tellers what had been
done for an army of fighters In 18G1. Labor
organizations had concluded that their only
relief was nt the ballot box.
Dr. Rodolf was of the opinion that nothing
worse could happen the Industrial army than
to get n sop thrown out at this stage of the
game and go homo and quit. Ho declared
that six weeks of good feeding , clothing and
shelter was sufficient to make the average
man stop being on agitator , and he did not
want to see the Coxeyltes get enough to eater
or wear until they had found out Just what
they wanted and had brought about the re
forms for which the country at large was
crying. In conclusion ho announced that he
proposed to begin preaching the gospel of
Jesus Christ next 'Sunday , If he could get
hold of sufficient money by that time to hire
a hall , and would continue from that time
forward to expound .the arr.'iitures In a man
ner somewhat different from the prevailing
style In orthodox churches.
T. C. Kelsey announced his willingness to
inarch to Washington with the rest of the
boys , and take his chances with Coxey ,
Browne and Kelly. He did not want to have
any blood shed , but If worse came to worst
he would be found at his post In the front
ranks , bleeding and ( lying with the rest ot
them.
The chairman announced at the coicluslon
of the speaking that the books would be open
all day today at Knights of Labor hall , and
that every one who desired to sign was re
quested to be present at the hall at 3 o'clock ,
when It was probablefthat officers would bo
elected and a date flx'ecl for the start. An
other meeting will b'e licld at the square this
evening. .

there met a refusal on the part of the
bridge officials to allow them to cross with
out paying bridge faro. The police at hand ,
too , were strong enough , to enforce this con
tention and the army camped on the spot
while couriers skirmished for the sum
necessary. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Trial of Those Who jl.ooled the Institution
Commenced.
ROME , May 2. Tlte trial of the directors
and officers of the Banco Romana began to
day In the court of assizes. It involves not
only officers ot the bank , but politicians
whose standing prlor to the flight of Direc
tor Cuclnlelo with 2JSOO.OOO lire belonging
to the Rome branch ftf the Hank of Naples
was very high. The ( Investigation last year
of the affairs of the Oank of Naples showed
a deficit of 3,000,000 lire In the account of
Its Rome branch , the sum having been paid
out In the course of several years without
any other than political consideration. The
Investigation , which covered all the bunks ,
showed the utmost confusion In other
Institutions. The cash deficit of the Hanca
Romana was 2S,600OQO lire , and the Illegal
notes of that bank's Issue since 1SS3 had
reached iil.500.000 lire. A large part of this
money Is said to have been given to promi
nent politicians in order to secure their
election and support. Hlg. Tanlongo , governor
of the Hanca Romana ; Cesare Lazzaronl ,
the cashier of the bank ; SIg. Monzllo Xam-
marino and three others were arrested .In
connection with these disclosures , but Laz
zaronl , Tanlongo and others were acquitted.
The hc.imlal resulted in the appointment of
un official commission to Investigate the
whole subject. The commission reported last

Police Have a Lively Time Trying to Subdue -
duo Cleveland Rioters.
MOB DISPERSED AND FORMED AGAIN
Seven Tliciii nml Idle .Men March Through
the Streets Smashing Window * mill
IJrltltig Laborer * from Their Work
Charged by the 1'ollce.
CLEVELAND. May 2. A mob numbering
6,000 or 7,000 men again assembled In the
public rciunrc tills mornlnR and marched
out on a mission of destruction. On Scranton -
ton nvcnuo every window wns broken at
the Variety Iron works and the entire force
of men working were run out. At the
Upson Nut and Holt works windows were
broken , machines smashed and the men
driven away. Twenty-five men were driven
from the church furniture works.
At this point the police charged the mob
and drove It up the hill on Jennings avenue.
Police are being hurried to the scene from
nil available sources. All the reserve force ,
Including the mounted men , have been or
dered out. Many arrests have boon made.
Great excitement prevails In the southern
part of the city.
MOH WAS ODST1XATE.
After moving up Jennings avenue the mob
reformed and was ugaln and again recharged
by the police. The rioters had meantime
raided a scraplron yard and armed them
selves with pieces of Iron. They were In n
frenzy of excitement and consequently urged
on by their lenders to resist the olllcers. At
this Juncture a large reinforcement of po
lice arrived on the scene and another charge
was made on the irob with drawn club" . The
crowd showed tight only for a moment and
then ranks were broken and scattered In nil
directions. The police meantime had used
their clubs to such effect that many of the
rioters were laid low. Patrol wagons were
loaded with prisoners and quickly sent to
the nearest station. Many of the men threw
stones and other missiles at the blttecoals
from the vantage- ground of Abbey street
bridge. They were forced away , however ,
and ran like sheep , making occasional stands
of resistance.
While a part of the mob as fighting the
police at Fatilhabers , others made an un
successful attempt to hold up a mall train
on the Nlchlo Plate road as It passed that
point. The train was slowed up In order not
to run down any one but sped on Its way un
harmed.
Anions the rioters taken In custody was
Tom Moore , a full Hedged anarchist , who at
the dally meetings of the unemployed , has
constantly urged the men to adopt anarchist
methods. lie was only landed In a patrol
wagon after his head had been laid open by
a policeman's club. - .
After their ranks had been broke : up a
larger part of the crowd started across the
Abbey street bridge with the police close be
hind them. On reaching the west sldo they
scattered In cvry direction' and the police
returned to the station.
The mob today was composed entirely of
unemployed foreigners , mostly Ignorant Ital
ians and Poles , who have been dally
harangued by labor leaders to organize. An
organization with from 8,000 to 10,000 mem
bers has been effected within a few days.
It was this organization that gave a Mayday
'
day parade yeste'rday. and encouraged by
the sllglt resistance with which they were
met they started out again today , 7.000
strong- Their purpose seems to be solely
one of riot and destruction.
CLEVELAND. O. , May 2. The disorders
which began yesteruay with the May clay
demonstration of the unemployed culminated
today In open riot. There were thres sep
arate and bloody conflicts between the police
and the rioters , and tonight the troops are
under arms. The firmness of the police had
a good effect , for It resulted in scattering the
rioters In all directions. At the south end
of the city at the same time a mob drove
away the workmen from the United States
salt works and were about to make a raid
upon the Cleveland rolling mills. They
were met by Police Director Her
bert and a squad of ten police
men , who clubbed them until they
were glad to run. At least thirty men were
Injured In this fight , but the mob -was dis
persed. This afternoon Mayor Bloc said no
more rioting would be permitted. He Issued
a proclamation commanding people not as
semble on the streets , and at the same time
he called upon the Cleveland Grays , the gat-
ilrtg gun battery and the resident companies
of the Ohio National guard to assemble In
their armories and await his call. There
was a ready response to the call and tonight
at least COO men are under arms awaiting
any emergency that may arlpe.
TROUBLE THOUGHT TO BE ENDED.
The worst Is believed to bo over , how
ever. The trouble began before noon when
a mob of about -,000 started to raid the fac
tories on the flats and drive from work the
men employed therein. The first attack
was made at the Variety Iron works. The
windows of the factory were smashed with
stones and bricks , and the workmen fled
In a panic. A force of seventy-five police
men was then called out. The rioters pro
ceeded , however , to the Upson Bolt works ,
where 1.BOO men were Induced to quit work
before the officers arrived. When the police
came upon the scene the men made a
stand and hurled bricks and Ktones at
the oftlcers. ( Orders were given to charge
them with clubs. The rioters ran llko
sheep at the first assault , but their leaders
succeeded in rallying them on the Abbey
street viaduct , a bridge about 1,000 feet long.
Squads of police coming up at both ends of
the bridge penned In the crowd and they
wcro forced to fight their way out. The
rioters made a rush for the olllcers , but at
least a score were clubbed unmercifully be
fore they succeeded In getting away. Be
fore this conflict two anarchists were ar
rested after a terrific struggle on their part.
One of them , Thomas Moore , on old man ,
was clubbed Into submission and taken to
the station In u patrol wagon , cursing the
police and declaring that this was the hap
piest day of Ills life.

LINCOLN , May 2. ( Special Telegram to
Thclleo. ) The supreme court late this after
noon handed down two opinions of great
Importance to the people of the state. Ono
was handed down In response to an applica
tion of Attorney General Hastings and
Judge Wakelcy to the court for the promul
gation of rules by which the case against
ex-State Treasurer Hill and his bondsmen
might be tried directly before thu supreme
premo court without first being pre
sented to the district courtTIio
application was based upon the
provision of the constitution which
gives the supreme court original jurisdiction
In cases In which the state Is a direct parly.
The legislature has nver expressly declared
by what method the constitutional provision
may be made effective , and the attorney
gener.il and Judge Wakcly argued that a
specific act of the legislature was unneces
sary , and that the supreme court Itself could
establish the rules by which a case in which
the state is directly Interested might bo
brought before It. The opinion handed down
today , written by Commissioner Hyan ,
takes the view advanced by
His petitioners. The court holds
unanimously that the supreme court ofNe
braska has original Jurisdiction concurrent
with that of the district courts of the state ,
where not expressly restricted. The court
stales that such original Jurisdiction will not
be entertained by the supreme court In cases
In which the state Is but n normal party.
The Intciest of the state must bo shown by
thu facts clearly pleaded. In order to get
such a case before the court , a petition set
ting forth the couso of action must bo first
presented. If the case Is such that comes
within ( he jurisdiction ot the court then the
court will make rules for the further pro
ceedings In tha * particular case.
nOTH SIDES WON.
The other opinion was In the case Insti
tuted by Governor Crounso to compel Stale
Treasurer Hartley to"purchase'a general fund
wararnt with the money belonging to tha
permanent school fund.Tho.cage was brought
to ( settle a controversy whlch-arose over the
Interpretation of the law passed ' by ( ho legis
lature In 1891 , providing tlmt'the Idle money
in the permanent school fund should be used
by the treasurer tp pay off outstanding war
rants whenever the latter were pre
sented and there was no moncjy
in the regular fund with -which to pay
bers of the Hoard of JCducationul Lands and
Funds held that It was the duty of the state
treasurer to purchase warrants without any
action of the board. The treasurer , on the
other hand , contended that It was first thu
duly of the board to decide what warran's
should be purchased and what price should
bo paid for them. The decision of the su
preme court vindicates the position taken by
Treasurer Hartley , but upholds the con
stitutionality of the law go far an
It permits the Hoard of Kducatlonul
Lands and Funds to purchase
the warrants. The opinion Is prepared by
Chief Justice Norval. Ho Elates that the
supreme court luu previously held that state
warrants , when backed by a levy of taxes ,
were state securities within the meaning
and Intent of the constitution , but that
inasmuch ns the stale treasurer did not
base lil < refusal to pay the warrants pre
sented by the governor upon an argu
ment that warrants were. not se
curities , the court docs not enter Into
the further discussion of that fea
ture of the question. Assuming that
thn warrants are state securities , within the
meaning lit the constitution , the chief jus
tice takes the position that If the law
passed by the legislature of 1891 IB to bo
construe literallythere would bo nothing to
pruvent the legislature from empowering
thn stain treasurer without any action of
the Hoard of Educational Lands and Funds
to purehaso for the permanent school fund
any other class of securities authorized by
the constitution. Says the chief Justice :
nnyiCTioNs OF THE LAW.
"Clearly , the framers of the constitution
never Intended that thu loaning of any of
fund * should bo performed by the etate
treasurer alone , without any directions from
the board of which ho Is a member. The
constitution has In plain and unmistakable
language clothed the governor and four other
state officers as a board to Invent the- educa
tional funds of the state , nnd the same In
strument has designated the kinds of se
curities In which said funds shall be In
vested , and the l.'glslaturo Is powcrlsa to
change the same. "
In deciding the case against the position
taken by the attorney general In his argu
ment , thu chief Justice points out the way
for the observance of the law of IS91 , by
saying : "In the brief of the attorney gen
eral It is said : 'It was never Intended that
the Hoard of Educational Lands and Funds
should remain In continuous season
from January 1 to December 31 ot
each year In order to pass 11(1011 (
nuc-li warrants presented for payment
ut the olllce of the state treasurer and maV.u
crder for the payment of the same froin 11m
permanent school funds. ' The construction
uo have placed upon the constitution will
not liiive the fleet outlined by the ntlornuy
general. It Is duty of the board charged
\\lth iho management and control of the
school funds to determine when , and In
whnt sums said funds shall be Invested , as
xvell ax what securities of the kinds author
ized by the fundamental law hliall bo
purchased , and the price that shall be paid
'or tl : > > same. When the board 1ms to de
termined and ordered , It may by resolution
entered upon the record of Its proceedings
authorize and direct the state treasurer to
pav out the money therefor. It may prior
to the purchase examine the particular * r
curlty offered for sale , If deemed dcilrablo
and expedient , but It Is Indispensable that it
should do EO. The board may direct the
treasurer or any other member of the board
to do lhat. "
