OlIETtS ON EENNARD CASE
United States Supreme Court Befutei to
Entertain the Appeal
COURT COMMISSIONERS WORK TOO HARD
Attorneys for PI re and Police Board
Ask for Rehearing and Coort
Allows Briefs to Be
riled.
(From a 6taff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June S. (Special.) The long
fougbt rase of T. P. Kennard against tbe
etate, in which Mr. Kennard sought 10
recover a judgment for upward of $11,000,
haa been dismissed by tbe United States
supreme court because there Is no federal
question st issue. This action is regarded
by the state's attorneys as tbe end of tbe
litigation. Tbe supreme court has several
times decided against Mr. Kennard and
about a year ago overruled a motion for
a rehearing. The rase was taken to tbe
United States supreme court on a writ of
error and about two months ago was ar
gued. The attorney general raised the plea
that the action Involved no federal question
and by the declaion In dismissing tbe case
be was sustained.
Mr. Kennard has been striving to collect
tbe money from the state for nearly a score
of years. He alleges tbe etate owes him
In principal approximately $8,000 as com
pensation for services performed in bring
ing about a aettlement of a claim against
tbe general government. The claim arose
from the transfer or sale of Indian lands,
but the whole transaction took place over
twenty years ago.
"I think tbe dismissal of tbe case fin
ishes It," said Mr. Prout. "It has certainly
had its day In the courts of this state and
with one exception has always been de
cided in favor of tbe state. Tbe district
court of Lancaster county gave Mr. Ken
nard a judgment, but it waa reversed by
tbe supreme court, lster adhered to by tbe
same tribunal and finally a motion for a re
hearing was denied. Mr. Kennard first
made bis claim to tbe legislature and after
much discussion and negotiation the leg
islature consented to have the state made
a party to the suit."
('onssniasloaers Overworked.
The cine commissioners of the supreme
court insist that they are being overworked.
Tbls morning a selected committee, con
sisting of one member of esch of the three
branches waited on the court in the private
consultation room and pleaded for consid
eration. They urged w ith much eloquence
and emphasis that tbe court had been
giving them too many cases to decide and
they asked that future calls be made to
conform to their reasonable capacity. It
was not the first time such a request had
been made, but today the judges showed
a disposition to be lenient and informed
the commissioners that tbe next call would
contain only seventy casea. Tbe call for
this sitting of the court contained eighty
six casea. The commissioners were unable
to detect any leniency in the announcement
of tbe court, but they submitted with good
grace and departed to break tbe news to
their fellow jurists.
The semi-annual report of the auditor
ahows that during the half year ending
May 31 tbe Insurance department of his
office collected $40,847.55 In fees from in
surance companies. During tbe correspond
ing period a year l,o the collections
amounted to $15,286.89, while for the fiscal
year ending December 1, 1901, they were
$58,294." It will be seen that more money
waa collected in the half year just ended
than in a full year preceding. Deputy In
surance Auditor. Babcock explains this in
crease by saying that collections have bee a
made caller in the year and that taxes have
been greater on account of tbe increase of
business. Besides this there are more
companlea doing business and more agents
at work.
. Police Board Case I'p A-ata.
The Omaha Fire and Police commission
litigation had another inning In the su
preme court today. Tbe case came
up on a motion for a new trial. Attor
ney General Prout and Norrls
B v wn appeared In opposition to this
motion, while Frank Ransom and
W. F. Gurley supported it. At the conclu
sion of a brief argument the judges re
tired for consultation. A few minutes later
the chief justice announced that the motion
for a new trial would be treated as a motion
for a rehearing and that briefs from both
sides would be accepted. This action of
the court opens tbe controversy again.
Tbe principal question involved in the mo
tion la that of the application of the prin
ciple of res adjudlcata.
Tbe Lincoln Board of Education is dead
locked over the election of teachers. At
tbe meeting last night an effort was made
to have the name of Miss Bertha McCorkle
inserted in tbe list recommended by tbe
teachers' committee. A motion to tbls ef
fect was voted down by 4 to I. Tbe par
tisans of Miss McCorkle then declared
that they would not vote for the other
teachers. As five votes are required for
an election tbe matter waa laid over. No
teacher can be elected until tbe absent
members return. ...
