HAS NO LEGAL EXISTENCE
Stato Eoard of Transportation Wiped Out
by Judge Mungor.
INJUNCTION PRAYED FOR IS GRANTED
Court Flics n LctiKthy Opinion, llold
liiK Hint tli LniV C'rcnlliiK the
1 on r il V" .Not Properly
PlINSCll.
"Tho State Hoard of Transportation has
no legal cx.stcncc, and, therefore, the tem
porary Injunction prayed for Is granted,"
Is tho closing sentence of the opinion cf
Judge Munger tiled yesterday In the
caso of tho Chicago, llurllngton & Qulncy
Railroad company against Constantino J.
Siu)th and others, which was argued In tho
United States district court somo lime ngo,
and which has been under tho consideration
of tho Judgo for a month or more.
Tho opinion Is long and enters Into the
case In detail, covering all points raised
by tho nttornoys and backing by decisions
of other courts', every part ot the opinion
of tho court In this case. It opens with a
statement of fact showing that In 188.1 the
legislature of the etato of Nebraska passed
an act creating n board ot railroad commis
sioners, consisting ot tho nttorncy general,
tho secretary of state and tho auditor, ot
public accounts, which nfterward becamo
nrtlclo vlll of chapter 72, entitled, "Hall-
roads," of tho compiled statutes ot tho
state; that In 18S7 tho legislature passed
ait act which, as shown by the cnrollod bill
signed by the governor, was entitled "An
act to regulate railroads, prnvent injurious
discrimination, provldo for a beard ot trans
portation and define Its duties, nnd repeal
articles v and vlll ot chapter 72, entitled
railroads," etc. By this act tho present
board was created, consisting of tho attor
ney general, the secretary of state, the
auditor of public accounts, tho stato treas
urer and tho commissioner of public lauds
and buildings.
SIiikIc Question Presented.
"Upon tho Issuc3 a single question Is pre
sented as to tho validity of the act," says
the Judgo. "If tho tltlo thereof was not
passed by tho legislature In tho manner re
quired by the constitution, then tho com
plainant Is entitled to tho temporary order
of Injunction. A history of the net ns
shown by tho Journals of tho two houses of
tbo legislature Is In brief as follows:"
Hero follows a history of tho bill showing
that It was Introduced ns Scnnto File 41,
under tho title ot an act to repeal certain
parts of existing laws and with nothing In
tho title to show what would tako the place
of those laws. This title tho Judge denomi
nates Tltlo No. 1. Under Tltlo No. 1, ns
Bhown by tho Journal of tho sennto, tho bill
was read tho first nnd Becond time, referred
to tho proper commltteo and reported by
It. Under tho same title It wns read tho
third tlrao and passed. It went to the houso
under the samo title. Tho houso Journal
shows that It was passed under that title,
but tho scnnto Journal shows that It was
comparcd'and signed by tho govornor under
Tltlo No. 2, or tho tltlo tho law now boars,
while If shows that It was passed under tho
original tltlo. Then follow certain conclu
sions which tho Judge used In guiding hlm
solt to n decision.
Principle!! nt I.mr enunciated.
First Tho suoremo court of the state of
Nebraska has held that tho authentication
and .enrolment of a"blllnrp pnly prima
facie cMdencd of Its' naBRice.. nnd that tho
Journals, may bo examined .for additional
broof;
Second That smrh decisions nre not mat
ters ot tho ffencral Inw rnlntlnir tn
denco, but nre constructions of tho con
stitutional stututcs and nro binding upon
inn lUUl'lill UUUIlf.
Third To overturn the nrlmn fn.l ui.
dence nfforded by the enrolled bill, it Is
not enough that the Journal do not show
that the bill ns enrolled passed, but must
show ulllrmatively that such bill did not
R8H,
Fourth The Journals nrn nr.anmi.,1 i
show tho tltlo correctly und other evidence
will not 'bo received to Impeach them.
.,1'lftli If the tltlo of nn net ns passed by
the legislature Is materially changed after
Its pnssase. and before Its enrollment nnd
iippprovnl by the governor, the act Is In
valid. In support of these conclusions h
recites constitutional provisions and a num-
Der or authorities, mainly cases In the su
premo court of Nobraska, tho one most
freely quoted being the opinion of Judge
Sullivan In tho case of Webster agalnet tbo
city ot Hastings.
Ho concludes: "Tho lotirnnl x!in;v thnt
the bill as enrolled and as slcned hv the
governor did not pass tho house, and It re
mains to determine the effect thrnf. Timt
the creation of tho board of trnnoportation
Wlin power to rORU ate and Ox reaaonahln
rates for the transportation of commodities
could not be had under n bill, the tltlo of
which was one simply to repeal an existing
law. needs no arcumcnt or citation nf nn.
thorltles. It therefore follows from tho
foregoing that tho board of trnnsnnrtntlnn
has no legal cxtstenco nnd tho temporary
injunction prayed tor is granted."
Tho caso will como un for flnnl bearing h-
foro Judge Munger nt tho October term of
the United States court.
OFFICIALS DIVIDED ON VIEWS
Court1 Order W Not Unexpected,
but the Effect in Uncertain
as Yet.
LINCOLN. July 18. fSncelal Telner.im.l
Among 'state ofllclals it Is belloved that
tne uecision of Judgo Munger will bo a
fatal blow to tho Stato Board nf Trnnnnnr.
tatlon and that all efforts to resuscitate
tho act under which the board was organized
win be of no avail. Tbo news of tho de
cision was p. surprise to one or two mora-
ucrs or ino Doara, wnilo others expected
me law to he declared unconstitutional.
Auditor Cornell approved tho decision and
paid ho thought tt would bo sustained by
tho court of appeals'.
That tho case will be carried up there Is
no doubt, but oven those who mmnnrt thn
constitutionality of the act aro not very
nopejui mat tuo decision will bo reversed.
"I am grratly surprised that a law so
useful to tho neonlo Of Nebraska nhnnlrl h
decided unconstitutional on a mero tech
nicality," said Governor Poynter tonight.
"I supposo tho caso will be appealed."
Auditor Cornell, chairman of tho Board
of Transportation, paid: "I am glad to
htar of that decision and I hope it will be
suptalncd. It would bo a good thing for
Nebraska If a lot of thoso stato boards woro
knocked out. They aro unnecessary ap
pendages to our government. As to nn ap
peal, tho board will be governed by tho ad
vlco of tho attorney general, but I think
tho caso will bo carried up."
Deputy Attornoy General Oldham said:
"That decision leaves us back to taw again
and I can't say what wo will do. Of course
tho caw will go to tho court of appeals. I
nm satisfied that tho doclslon wns on honest
decision, for Munger Is a good Judgo. How
ever, that decision does not knock out the
law, hecauso tho fedoral court has not tho
Jurisdiction over tho stato laws that a
stato court ban. Tho law Is still In offect
and the board can go ahead nnd fix rates
under penalty of being held In contempt
by Judge Munger."
Tho Hoard of Transportation constats ot
tho treasurer, auditor, secrotary of state,
land commissioner nnd attorney general.
Tho board employs threo loerotarles at a
salary of 3,000 each per year, tho present
secretaries being O. L. Laws, Jamej C,

HAVANA, July 18. Tho recent decree of
Senor Verona, socrctnry of education, re
forming tho Unlvcralty of Havnnn nnd re
ducing tho number of professors, met with
gcucral approval, as placing tho university
upon n practical working basis. Now, how
ever, all tho papers aro protesting against
tho method of choosing the professors, which
Is that nil who obtained their positions by
competitive examinations are to remain, as
well as theso who havo demonstrated un
doubted ability. All others are to bo com
pelled to resign.
Those who criticise this arrangement say
that tbo practice of deciding who have and
who have not displayed "undoubted ability"
is Invidious and la liable to be abused. The
assertion Is made that men actually unfit
have been retained.
All tho papers aro urging Senor Verona to
place all professors upon the same fooling
and to hold a gcnoral competltlvo examina
tion. The Cubans also object to Senor Verona
nnd threo other secretaries holding pro
tectorships, pointing out that, If the de
cree Ls to bo administered on such principles,
It will open the way to Just such favoritism
and abueo of power as distinguished the

The Injunction forbade tho coercing and

In his opinion says: "It cannot bo seriously
questioned but thnt every workman has tha
right, In tho first Instance, to say for whom
nnd with whom ho will work. This right Is
guaranteed to every person of legal ago
and competent to contract under our laws.
An employer has the absolute right to say
whom ho will employ nnd tho cmployo hart
the right to say by whom ho. Will bo cm
ployed and with whom he will work. Tho
right Is reciprocal and onco that right la
destroyed personal liberty Is destroyed nnd
chaos reigns. And If one has tho right, act
ing tn his Individual capacity, ho does not
loso It when nctlng with others clothed
with nn equal right, ho that employers may
eomblno nnd say they will not employ per
sons who nro members of labor organiza
tions and laborers may combine and say thoy
will not work for employers who engage
any but members of labor organizations."
Justice McLaughlin says the principle Is
not different where labor organizations aro
