"The court will, on Its own motion, strike
from the records a motion and brief which
contains personal criticisms of a commis
sioner of this court and of hie character
and motives rn the performance of his of
ficial duties."
Bo announced the supreme court today
In answer to the criticism of an opinion
written by Commissioner Olanville by ex
United States Senator W. V. Allei) of the
firm of Reed A Allen, attorneys for the Fred
Krug Brewing company and Felix L. Gal
laher, who asked for a rehearing' in a case
from Cuming county.
Senator Allen's motion for a rehearing was
denied and his briefs on file were ordered
stricken from the records of the court. The
briefs on file contained very abusive mat
ter and impugned the motives of Commis
sioner Glanvllle. The opinion striking the
briefs from the records Is not signed by
any one Judge, but is Indorsed "by the
court." It cloees as follows:
There are In the briefs unjust, querulous
and unfounded criticisms of the reasonings
and the motives of the commissioner who
wrote the opinion. These criticisms are of
so personal and offensive a nature as to
, call for an expression of disapproval on the
"part of the court. - The commissioners are
officers of the court. They are called upon
by the lawa of the state to perform Im
portant and arduous duties in the transac
tion or the business of the court. They
are entitled to the same confidence and
-respectful treatment that la accorded to
the court Itself. The brief Itself Is not fit
to remain upon the records of the court.
The counsel for the plaintiff in error have
gone so far as to Insert offensive expres
sions in the motion Itself. In addition to
this and as above pointed out, there Is no
merit In the motion. It is therefore ordered
that the motion for rehearing and the brief
tiled thereon, be stricken from the records
of the court,

SO INQUIRY IS PERMITTED
InTMtif atioa f Chairman Burgesn' Cos..
duot Prevented by Hit rrienet.
HEADQUARTERS WILL GO TO LINCOLN
Meetlag of Slate Repahllcan Commit,
tee Consented Largely In Tnlag
Beeqarts Over the "Glor
leaa Victory,
The expectation of an Inquiry into the
current complaints of mismanagement of
the campaign on the part of Chairman
Burgess brought a large attendance of
both insiders and outsiders at yesterday s
meeting of the republican state committee.
To mike sure that nothing disagreeable to
the reigning powers should transpire, all
the big and little guns who had partici
pated originally In Investing Mr. Burgess
with the chairmanship, were called In and
lined up to make sure that the prear
ranged program for scattering bouquets
broadcast should go through.
Among the skirmishers were noticed for
mer National Committeeman R. B. Schnei
der of Fremont, Postmaster Ed Slier of
Lincoln, former Tostmaster Ross Hammond
of Fremont, Frank Harrison and William
Whlltnker of the I'nlon Pacific tax bureau
and W H. Harrison of Grand Island, who
brought, a proxy with him that enabled him
to play spokesman Inside the committee.
Others on the spectators benches included
Congressman Burkett and Hlnshaw, State
Senators-elect Haller of Blair, Good of
Peru, Representatives-elect Jahnel of Blair
and Kaley of Red Cloud, Secretary of
State-elect Gnlusha Postmaster McCarthy
of Nebraska City and Postmaster Raker of
Gretna. Of the committee only five mem
bers were absent or unrepresented.
Repotts from the secretary and treasurer
showed that the state committee closed the
campaign with a known Indebtedness of
$1,623.28. with more to come possibly, ac
cording to the chairman. The total cost of
the republican campaign In Nebraska Is
shown by the reports, plus the Indebted
ness, to have been something like $11,000.
Of this amount about $4,500 ass spent for
salaries, $1,353 for printing and $1,024 for
postage.
That Glorloas Victory.
In opening the session democratic In
trusion waa baffled by the adoption of a
motion admitting all republicans and the
representatives of republican newspapers.
After a single reporter had left the room
Chairman Burgess read, a brief report,
principally about the sweeping victory and
declaring that efforts had been directed to
ward electing the straight republican
tickets.
A motion to receive the report was In
terrupted by a request that the reports
from Secretary Allen and Treasurer Hen
nlngs be heard first. These reports were
read and then W. H. Harrison moved that
an auditing committee of five, with Frank
Reavls as chairman, be appointed by the
chairman to check the chairman's accounts.
This precipitated a lively discussion, which
ended In adopting a motion by Byron
Clark Instructing the auditing committee
to' check the accounts and report imme
diately. The committee retired and was In session
for about thirty minutes. Chairman Bur
gess calling In National Committeeman
Schneider to corroborate certain state
ments and to vouch for some questionable
transactions. He also dodged In and out of
the room to consult with W. H. Harrison
and Ed Slzcr.
Some of Bnrareas' Oversights.
As a dissenting member of the committee
Victor Rosewater prepared and offered the
following minority report:
The undersigned member' of your execu
tive committee begs to report as follows:
First la the -figures .contained in the
treasurer's report, showing - a deficit of
$2,123.28 and the correctness of the checks
drawn against the money In the custody of
the trasurer. we find nothing to criticize.
Second This executive committee had but
three meetings since its creation, the last
being on September 15. when It adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman, who
since that time avoided reconvening it. it
therefore had no share in or responsibility
for the disbursements of -the committee,
except so far as it limited the same under
Instructions of your committee.
Third The executive committee under
took to establish a voucher system for the
control of the expenditures of the com
mittee and Instructed the officers of the
committee to put the same into effect, but
its instructions were ignored. We recom
mend that this voucher system be put Into
effect from now on, so as to make the
financial transactions of this committee
correspond with those of every well regu
lated business corporation and those of the
national republican committee.
Fourth At tho first meeting of the ex
ecutive committee a resolution was passed
which waa prepared by the chairman au
thorising him to employ such clerical and
stenographic assistance as was needed
about headquarters, the salaries being
limited to $rt0 a month for stenographers
and $50 a month for clerks who were not
stenographers. The names of the appoin
tees to be reported to the, executive com
mittee for confirmation. The chairman
never executed these instructions.
When presented to the whole committee
as a supplemental report It was voted down
and the following report of the other mem
bers of the executive committee adopted:
We, the ' executive committee, acting as
auditing committee of the republican state
central committee to audit the accounts of
chairman, secretary and treasurer of such
committee, respectfully beg to report:
That we have checked the cheek stubs of
the secretary and the amounts thereof
against the account of the treasurer and
book account of the secretary and found
them to represent the exact amounts dis
bursed aa per the statements of the secre
tary and treasurer of the committee as
submitted.
We find, however, that the statement as
submitted regarding the accounts unpaid
that an Item of $500 due Mr. Burgess for
salary has been omitted from said state
ment. This leaves the amount of shortage
$2,680.31, less balance In treasury $457.03
ana a nec snortage 01 j.ii .a.
With this exception we find the accounts
as submitted to be correct.
Respectfully submitted. C. A. Robinson,
chairman: F. M. Clarldge. William Ha v.

Bargress to Blame."
Prior to the executive committee's meet
ing an indebtedness of only about $1,600 had
beet) announced, but a further deficiency
of $500 due Chairman Burgess as salary
was discovered In the session.
As he explained his report It was Mr.
Rosewater's contention that If the chair
man had obeyed the Instructions of the
executive committee by putting into effect
the voucher vtem of accounting ordered
and keeping salaries down to the limit
prescribed by the committee, the deficiency
would not have occurred. He wanted to
bring his argument directly before the com
mittee to provide against future defects
of the same kind.
The committee, however, seemed anxious
only to declare everything lovely and satis
factory. Frank Reavls and others made
speeches reciting the hard and difficult
things the chairman had to encounter and
how well he had done and the climax was
reached when W. H. Harrison proposed a
vote of thanks to Chairman Burgess, Sec
retary Allen. Treasurer Hennlngs, the ex
ecutive committee and everyone else con
cerned. No on dissented audibly and Chair
man Burgess took his cue to respond with
a brief sentence of thanks.
Congressman Burkett, on Invitation to
address the committee, congratulated all
the party workers upon the victories In
Nebraska and giving especial credit to the
newspapers. Congressman Hlnshaw, In re
sponse to requests, also said a few words
of encouragement.
Schneider oa tho Defensive.
National Committeeman Schneider was
asked to speak, particularly as to plans for
sinking the debt of the committee. He said
he thought small dlfTKully would be met

with In disposing of it. He denied em
phatically that any money had been sent
Into the stato to be spent in the Interest of
ceraln candidates or sets of candidates and
declared any and all statements of this
character absolutely false. He said the
national committee had hardly assisted Ne
braska at all, but regarded the work of the
state committee as particularly satisfac
tory. Committee members in attendance were:
C. F. Reavls, Falls City; William Hay

Efforts made by Victor Rosewater to have
the state headquarters retained at Qmaha
were unavailing. Mr. Rosewater had dis
covered that arrangements had been per
fected to remove the headquarters to Lin
coln without reference to the vote of the
committee fixing them at. Omaha. W. II.
Harrison, Just before the meeting ad
journed, offered a motion leaving lt to the
chairman and secretary to decide on
future location. Mr. Rosewater's amend
ment to retain the permanent headquarters
In Omaha but to permit the officers to es
tablish temporary headquarters at Lincoln
during the legislative session was defeated
by a vote of 14 to 12. The Harrison motion
prevailed. Chairman Burgess was at some
pains to point out that inasmuch as ho
Uncle Sam says it's all sigh.
Uncle Sam, in the person of ten of hii government officials, is always in charge of every department of jur
distillery. During the entire process of distillation, after the whiskey is stored in barrels in our warehouses, dur
ing the seven years it remains there, from the very grain we buy to the whiskey you get, Uncle Sam is constantly
on the watch. We dare not take a gallon of our own whiskey from our own warehouse unless he says it's all right.
And when he does say so, that whiskey goes direct to you, with all its original strength, richness and flavor, carry

the dealers' enormous profits. That's why HAYNER WHISKEY is the best for medicinal purposes. That's why it is
preferred for other uses. That's why we have over a quarter of a million satisfied customers. That's why YOU
should try it. Your money back if you're not satisfied.
