NEW BOARD GOES IN
( Continued from First Page. )
1\ \ provide for the appointment of a police
matron In cities allli to repelll any law Inconsistent -
f consistent therewith : ' That the act of 1895
- conflicts with those provisions Is obvious
, and since It embraces the entire subject
" matter of the sections mentioned , operated
as a repeal thereof by Implication. Brome
vs Cumlng County 31 Nub , ,362. State vs
Ilenton 33 Neb. , 823.
DOES NOT VIOLATg THE CONSTITU-
TION
It Is argued that the act under cl1sldera-
tlon violates the constitution of this slate
and the constitution of the United Slates
by making party allillatlon a qualification
for olllce. .
The particular provision of the act as-
sailed Is the following : "The said appointIng -
Ing board shall within thirty dAYS from and
. after the passage of the act appoint as the
commissioners above named tree citizens
at least one from the Iwo political parties
casting the largest number of votes for governor \ -
crnor nt the last preceding general clectlon.
One of these shall be designated In said np-
110lntmenl to serve until December 31 , 189 ; ; .
the second until Dccember 31. 1896 , and the
third until December 31. 1897. "
The constitutional restrictions above referred -
ferred to are section 3 of our bill of rights ,
vlz : "No person shall bo deprived of life
liberty or property without due process of
law , " . antI section 15. article 111. , as follows :
"Tho legislature shall nOl pass local or
special laws granting to any corporation -
poration association or Individual any special -
cial or cxclllsivo privilege Immunity or
franchise whatever ' Also section 1 of the
fourteenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States , vlz : "No state shall
make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or Immunities ot citIzens -
zoos of the United States , nor shall any
State deprive any person ot life liberty or
property without due process of law. " The
question here presented was considered In
the State vs eeavey 2'J Neb. 45t. and the
state V9 Smith , 33 ; ; Neb. 13. and determined
adverselY to the foregoing contention \Ve
have however , on account of the importance
of the subject , concluded to briefly re'l'xam-
the It In the light of authority. or the
cases cited by counsel tar the old \ board
Attorney General vs Detroit 63 Mich. 213 ,
cannot bo regarded as authority In vIew of
the express restriction of the constitution of
that state which , after prescribing the
form of oath to be taken by publIc olllcers ,
concludes as follows : "And no other oath ,
declaration or test shall be required as a
qcallOratlon for any olllco or public trust. "
while the only provision of our constitution
upon the subject Is that found In section
) 4 of the bill of rights vlz : "No religIous
j test shall be required as a quallllcntlon for
a nU ofllce " The city of Evansville vs The
State , 1181nd . 426 , appears to be In point but
that case It not indeed overruled Is opposed
to the doctrine stated In the subesquenl case
ot Hove vs The State 119 Ind 386. In
which Elllotl C. J. urea the language \ :
"It Is within the authority of the I"glslature 1
by virtue of Its general power to require
that the olllcers of this class shall bo selected -
lectell from the different political parties or
that they shall be persons of peculiar skill
and experience "
TWO CLASSES OF CASES.
opposed to the contention of counsel are
two classes of cases of which the first
ahd mor'l numerous assert without yuaBil-
cation the power of the legislature In the
absence of express constitutional restriction
to prescribe particular qualifications for
holding oll1co such ns political anlliation
Other cases regard like provisions as dl-
* tory , or . more accuratelY speaking , advisory -
visory merely , and binding upon the appointing -
pointing power only within the limits ot the
comity existing between different depart-
menta of govl'rnment. Of the first class
may be mentioned the following cases :
1Iovoy vs The State supra : State vs Finger
( Ohio ) , 2C N. E. Ufp. 135 : Rogers vs lluffalo
123 N. Y. 173 : People vs Hortman , 116 111.
687 ; Patterson vs 1Iarlo'll" " . GO ( j ( .a'a . St. 61.
Among those which regard the provisions
under consideration as u ul\\'lsor \ merely may
bo cited the following : In re Supervisors 43
Fed. tu7 1 : ; State vs Bea"e , sU1rai und opinion -
Ion of Cooley J. In People Y8 } Iurlbul 21
Mich. U.
It Is unnecessary to pursue the subject by
4 examining the merits of Its views thus
' stated IUI both are adverse to the contention .
tlon of counsel ant are. It Is believed , alike
, harmonious with the letter and slllrit of our
crnstttution.
\Ve observe In recent legislation , stale
x and national numerous acts of this charac-
, tel' . and which have except III the instance
cited been respected by both executive anti
. . . . . jUdlrlal departments 0 f the government A
it ' . tGmlllur illustration Is the prevision of the
. revised statutes of the United Stales for
; , . juries drawn by commissioners of different
parties Another ts the low In force for
k : s'any years for the appointment by the
. circuit court of supervisors of elections In
certain cases These statutes although fre
. . QUently before the courts for construction ,
- , have never within our knowledge been assailed -
sailed alt unconstllutlonal.
hut a case directly In point , which hu c , p _
parenti been overlooked by counsel for
both parties , Is the appointment by us of
the present supreme court commission un-
der the act of 1893. , That act It will be
noticed provides that no two of the three
commIssioners therein authorized shall be
members of the same political party. Every
phase of the Question was examined by the
court as then organized . and although a
dcubt was expressed as to the right of the
.Ieglslature to control the discretion ot the
appointing power , we agreed that the pro
vision \
v slon mentioned was at least directory-a
courteous request of the lawmaking power
to which full respect was accorded In the
selection of our esteemed associates ot the
commission. The act last referred to havIng -
Ing been subsequently assailed for the rea-
sons now urged among others was after
full consideration held not to conflict with
the constitution of the state It Is thus apparent -
parent thai the contention or counsel 'Is
without merit being opposed both by reason
and the pronounced weight of authority.
ACT NOT INCONSISTEWr.
It Is said that the act Is InconsIstent and
Incapable i ot execution by reason of the
Ilrovlslon therein for the appointment of
the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
within thirty days from and after Its
passage to-wit. April 3. 1895. whereas Itald
act did nol take effect until \ three calendar
months after the adjournment or the legis-
lature for that session ( See section 24 . ar-
tlolo III. . ot the constitution. . ) To one familiar -
miliar with legislative methods In this state
the apparent Inconsistency suggests its own
t"planatlon , vlz : That the bill as originally
introduced contained an emergency clause
providing that It should take effect upon Its
p lisago and which was sUbsequently ellm-
mated without amending the other pro-
visions thereof so as to conform to Its al-
toed condition.
It Is evident that by the expression
"withIn thirty days from and after the
passage ot this act , " Is meant thirty days
from the time when saId act took effect
as a law. Where a. statute Is ambiguous
the courts , following established rules of
construction adopt that Interpretation which
will best promote Its general object.
In Harllln vs The People supra It Is
said : "In the absence of an emergency
clause In view of the constitutional provision
sion the expression 'aCter the passage of
this acl' a9 used In the law can have but
one meanlnr , namely , after the law goes
Into effect : And with the view thus expressed -
pressed wo are entirely satisfied.
Finally It appears from the record that
the governor , for reasons to him appe"rlng
9ulllclent. but whIch need not bo discussed
In this connection declined to take any nc-
tlon whatever under the act above men-
tioned , and althougk notified of the meet-
Ins called by the other members of the appointing -
pointing board refused to attend or In any
manner participate \ In the selection of ' lire
and police commIssioners. It Is argued thai
the concurrent action of , the three state
otllcers named In the act Is essential to a
valid appointment thereunder hence the
selection of the new board at such meeting
In the absence of the governor Is without
authority and void Dut to that proposition
we cannot give assent. On the contrary It
Is clear that the presence and participation
ot the governor was not Indispensable , ho
having been notified of the meeting and
requested to aUenll. The action of the ma-
jority Is , under the circumstances , the ac-
tion of the board and equally banding as
If all hall attended and expressly assented
thereto.
The reason upon which that doctrine rests
Is that public Interests shall not be preju-
diced by the neglect or caprice of a single
member of a public body In talllnl or refus- I
Inar to attend upon sufficient notice of Its I
mcetlngs. lint where the law expressly ,
requtrt the concurrent action or all the
members of a board or body all must par
ticipate therein although that rule has no
application to the act under consideration
which does not expressly by implication
expressly\
require the action of all \ I the members of
the appointing board \Ve must not from
what 19 here saId , be understood notl ( ndulg-
Ing In any criticism upon the act of the
governor whQso motives In refusing to cooperate -
operate with the other members of the appointing -
pointing board are not Impugned In this
proceeding. It follows however from wllllt
has been said that the respondents Droatch
VRllllervoort and Foster are the legally
appointed members of the Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners and as such are
entitled to the possession and emoluments
of the olllces In controversy
HEJOICl\'U : AMONG : 1'IIP. DEH\'lSIIE8.

Men n..hRraed . ,
News of the decision of the supreme court
of , Nebraska sustaining the Churchlll-Rus.
'
sell Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
reached Omaha a few minutes after 0 ! I o'clock
yesterday morning The A. P. A. leaders ,
who were on the Inside , hall the informs-
lion the nlllhl before and the dervishes hid
alft'l.dy commenced their Jubilations. With
In an hour after the receipt of the official information .
formation of the decision of the court there
wu a rush for the city hili. All of the dla-
charged pollcemeq and the dervish gang
that had haunted the city hall corridors since
August 1 were on hand al 10 o'clock , when
the members of the new board met In the
committee room of the city council and be-
gan their plans for taking possession of the
places they had long sought. The members
of the board went Into executive session
and called In the applicants singly and gave
them their Instr ctlons.
Members of the new board thought they
would have to walt until they received official
notice of the court's decision before they
would be given possession ! of the books and
records of the departments. In this they
were mistaken Mayor Bemis and Messrs.
Drown and Deaver of the old board met In
the ma'or's office at 11 o'clock and after
a short consultation decided to yield possession
without waLtln $ for the official action of the
court They accordingly placed the books
and records In proper shape and then sent
the following communication to the new
board :
"Honorables W. J. Droatch Paul Vander-
voorl and A. C. Foster Members of the
Board of Fire and Police Commlssloners-
Gentlemen : It having been decided by the
supreme court that you are the legally appointed -
pointed ! lire and police board of the city of
Omaha , end as such are entitled to the pos-
session of the offices of saId board I have the
honor , to transmit to you herewith , by direction -
tton of the old board the keys to such offices.
All the records and papers relating to the
fire and police board'are to bo found In theIr
proper places In said offices "
This communIcation was sIgned by the
members of the old board and Its receipt
was the signal of a rush by the new board
and Its satellites to the rooms In the building
originally set apart for the use of the Fire
and Police Commission Then the commis-
sioners got down to business on short notice
and gave official announcement to the plans
that had been formulated In the sessions of
the board during the past month AI Sigwart
H. P. Haze and Al Debout were taken Into
the private rooms of the board and given Instructions -
structtons In making up the official lists of
the members selected for the police department -
ment under the plan of reorganization de-
eldCl ! upon by Droatch and Vandervoort.
The result of this plan was made public In
the following official order :

CHEYENNE Wyo. , Sept. I7.-Speclal.- ( )
Details received here of the triple tragedy al
Sheridan show the murder of Robinson and
Linville by Walsh to have been an unpro-
voked assassination The murderer , J. J.
Walsh , lived In a little cabin by himself
about three-fourths of a mile from UeblnOn's
house Ho has worked for Mr. Hoblnson
morn or less thIs summer and was helping
his threshers tile day before the murder.
About 6 o'clock on Friday morning Robinson .
son went down to Walsh's cabin to see him
about repairing a wagon. J. L. Wilson who
was working for Robinson say him plainly
as be reached \"alah's cabin door The next
moment he saw the door open and Walsh
come out , and also heard the report of a
gun He saw Robinson turn around and start
toward home when Walsh followed him up
and fired at him from behind , Robinson falling .
ing to the ground Mr. Wilson at once told
Mrs. Robinson that her husband had been
shot anti at once started for the scene In
the meantime Walsh came out to where his
horse was picketed near where Robinson
tell . reloaded his gun mounted his horse and
started up the river In the direction of
Works' place. When Wilson reached the
Walsh cabin he found Robinson dead Walsh
rode directly to the ranch of Mr J. M.
Works about a mile up the river On his
arrIval there he met Thompson Wood and inquired -
quired for the "old man " Mr. Works heard
him and came out and spoke 10 him. After
a little talk Walsh started out , passed the
stable and after he had got out of sight they
heard the report of a gun. They thought
nothing particularly wrong but supposed he
had shot at a chicken. Miss Linville. 'who
was at the nouso . heard the report and
started out and was the first to discover that
her brother , Herbert had been shot and
was just breathing his last. LlnvUlo was
shot In the left breast and also In the left
hand which he had probably thrown up to
guard himself Judging from the blood
trail he must have gone about tell yards be-
fore he fell. The murderer used a shotgun
loaded with heavy duck shot. Every one was 10
excited that the way the murderer went
was not noticed , but his horse Will found at
Mr. Hardy's place on Big Goose creek where
he had dismounted and gone Into the brush
along the creek and where he was subse-
quently driven out and killed by Sheriff Mol'-
row's posse The Incentive of Walsh to commit -
mit the double murder Is almost beyond con-
jecture. He was about 60 years of age and
has lived In the vIcinity of Sheridan for several -
eral YEars. Ito seemed to be a crank on religion
ligion and had told people that at one time
he was an Inmate of an asylum In Iowa lie
was taU and angular , wore " long hair and a
long grizzly eard. Tile day preceding the
murder Walsh Will working with some
threshers and was on the straw stack with
Llnvlllo and others lie disagreed with them
In regard to hauling the straw and referred
the matter to Robinson who was hauling
grain , but Robinson paid no attention to his
complaints This ! Is the only known cause
for his committing the rnurdors Mr. Uobln-
son . who wa quite an old man was one
of the earliest settlers of Sheridan county.
Ho was a weU-to.do , prosperous farmer and
an upright , bonest - cltlzen. Mr. Linville was
a young man of about 22 , highly respected
by all who knew hini
