Ho was guardlun of tho Flowers Klrl and nve yrars ago filed complaint against her that she was Incorrigible. Sho was tried and sent to the Reform school In a few weeks she managed to communt- rato with her sister, who lived near Cheney, nnd the litter began habeaa corpus lirocccdlnen to relcate her. Hho showed that tho action of Scott wns taken without any notice to the girl's relatives and that she was not an IncorrlKlblc. TUc Kiri was icleased and Scott was soon afterward made defendant In a suit for $20,000 dam ages. Tho Jury gate tho girl 2,r.00.-larcely on a holding hy the trial Judge that tho law under which she was committed wna unconstitutional. An appeal to tho suprenif. court was tnkon by Scott, and here thu decision of the lower court was afllrmed. A motion for a rehearing wot made nnd lh" rourt not only grants this, but reverses Itself and orders tho ca:io remanded for another trial. Meanwhile county Judges and prosecuting attorneys throughout the state grew nlnrtnod. Visions of suits for false Imprls nnmcnt brought by children whom they wcrci instrumental In sending t the Kc form school under the old law haunled them, and thoy grew cautious, Instead of sending boys nnd girls to tho Iteform t-chnol they bound over all they conceived to bo proper subjects for control and al lowed tho district court to act.

The supreme court afllnnod tho decision of the district couit of Douglas county In dismissing tho rase brought by the county of Douglas against tho bondsmen of the Into (leorgc A.

It was Insisted by tho defendants that the settlement with tho LINCOLN, April 11. (Special.) It Is offi cially announced at tho slate house that no attempt will bo made by state oftlccrs to enforce tho new fish and game law be fore July 1, that being the time when all laws passed without an emergency clause by the last leglslaturu will become effec tive. An emergency clause was attached to the enrolled copy of the bill through error nnd without authority, but, although It was signed by tho presiding ofllccrs of tho legislature and by the ocrnor, It cannot be enforced, for the reason that It was defeated In the house of representa tives.

Tho points contested by the attorneys erc: Does tho law conform to the con Ullutlon, and If not, Is what remains mi lid, and Is n county court a court o record? Tho law In part reads as follows "When a boy or girl of sane mind, under the ago of IS years, shall. In any court of record In this state, bo -found guilty of pny crime, eSieept murder or manslaughter, committed .under (he; age of 18 years, or who for want of proper parental care Is growing up In mendicancy or vagrancy, or Is Incorrigible, the court Bhall causo an order to be entered that said boy nr girl bo sent to the Stnte Industrial school." Tho constitutional provision Is as fol lows: "The legislature may provide by law for thn establishment of n school or schools for the safo-kecping, education, employ ment and reformation of all children under 'the age of IB years, who, for want of proper parental caro or other cause, nro growing up In mendicancy or crime." It was contended by Miss Flowers' attor neys that tho law wns void, bocauso It raised the ago limit above tbat fixed by the constitution. It was answered by tho other sldo that, even If It did, this did not render the remainder of the law void. JuilKr Xortnl IllsHt'iita. Judges Sullivan and Holcomb agreo with the. latlcr contention, while Judge Norval tlocs not. In the opinion of the former, ho holds that If, after striking out tbo un constitutional part of n stntuto tbo residue Is Intelligible, complete and capable of execution It will bo upheld nnd enforced except In cases where It Is apparent that tho rojected part was an Inducement to thn adoption of tho remainder. Judgo Norval holds that tho ago limit of IS was to Interwoven with tho remalndor of the hectloii, that if stricken out or rejected tho section will bo uncnforclblc. Dcsldcs, ho inclines to tho opinion that this was tho Inducement for the passage of tho act. Tho court holds, too, that a county court Is always u court record, no matter In what capacity the Judgo acts, nnd never a Justlco of tho peace, oven though lnvoklig his powers nnd Jurisdiction. Tho defect In tho law wns remedied by a recent act of tho legislature, nnd tho ectunl importance of tho decision Hps morn In tho reassurance it gives officers who acted under the old law nnd feared a swarm of lawsulta If It had been declared In valid. I.hvt nf MnrrlniK. In tho case of Hov. Rowland Hills, tho bigamist whose conviction was yesterday ntllrmod, tho court lays down some lm porlunt law affecting the marriage con tract. In the syllabus It says: A wife Is n competent witness against her husband In a prosecution for bigamy. "A marriage! legal where solemnized Is VHlId everywhere. A communication to a minister of the gospel or priest Is not. privileged where It Is shown that It wus roado In confidence of the relation or was not to be kept as n secret. "A marriage solemnized In good faith Is not .void bocauso the contracting parties previously agreed that It would be In valid." nthrr Criminal Cnir. Four other criminal cases were passod upon, three being afllrmed and ono re versed. O. G. Schofleld, a magnetic bealor, con victed In Custer county, must pay the fine atsesed against hlra for violation of the law which prohibits tho practice of medi cine without n permit from tho Stato Iloarrt of Health. His defence was purely techni cal. Daniel J. Trimble, convicted In Mer rick county of highway robbery, will p.ervo the threo years the lower court dcomtd his due. Tho principal point of contention was that tho county attorney had no light to perform tho duties of pros editing attorney, hut tho court dismisses this as unsound.

WASHINGTON, April U. The salt Indus try of the country received the attention of the Industrial committee today, Archibald S. White, president of the National S.ilt company, being the witness. He said that the annual consumption of alt In the United States amounts to about 13.000.000 barrels, of which tho Notional company supplied last year Dctwc.n S.000.000 and t',000,000 barren. He said lib organization hnd taken In thirty-six plantt. of which six hnd been closed. He also stnted that tho object of effecting the con centration had been economical. I'rcvluus to tho combination tho competition was so sharp thnt there was no profit In I ho busi ness and much Inferior salt wns made. In Michigan, for Instance, salt was sold for :s cents n barrel, tho barrels alone costing SO cents. One great saving, he said, had been effected In supplying salt to the districts In which It 1? made. As n rule, he said, the men previously employed had been ic tallied In the plants, but occasionally It be came necessary to let out somo employes. Probably SO tier cent of tho salesmen had been dispensed with as such. There also was n saving of commissions to dcnlcrs. Would Cut tint .MltldlcmiMi. "We try to get ns near the consumer ns possible," he said. "Wo would hand out the bags to Individuals If wo could arrango to do bo. Wo should like to cut out all middlemen." In the company's business Mr. White said that tho country Is divided Into districts, tho head of each district being required to make a dally report. Tho effect of tho con solidation, hn said, had been tn advance wages to the extent of SO to .10 per cent. He considered a monopoly Imposilblo In any Industry except In cases In which It Is pro tected hy tho stato through patent rights or otherwise. LaBt year the net earnings of the Na tional Salt company had been Jl,261,5ii!l nnd tho company bad paid a 7 per cent dividend upon preferred nnd C per cent upon common stock.

Among tho companies ho has finan ciered Is tho American Smelting nnd Refining company. Mr. Chapman said this company Issued $27,500,000 preferred nnd tho same nmount of common stock, tho vendor com panies receiving cash or preferred stock at par nnd 70 per cent of tho common stock, the remaining 30 per cent going to pay tho expenses ot tho negotiations Incidental to tho organization. The preferred stock rep resented tho actual value of tho properties secured, and tho common stock tho good will. Tho working capital of tho consolidation which had been subscribed nnd paid In was $6,600,000. Tho consolidation bad been ef fected to reduco expenses and eliminate competition. It was calculated, he said, that over $5,000,000 would be saved an nually on freight charges alone. M.
