within tho legitimate sphere of action belonging-
to tiie Judiciary. And Insolur an
human fit nihility permit to reach a con-c-lnsiim
from ii strlftly leal und Judicial
stnnlrliit. The final and ultlmato con
struction; of tli" constitution Is by that In
ternment entrumed to1 the court. We have
endeavored to dlschargo the trust thus
reptiS'-d In tlie tribunal over which we for
a time give exprenslon to Us utterances
and decrees according to the meaning ex
j.rcxseil or arliilng by necessary implica
tion. lr so doing we are unulile to escape
the conclusion that the legislative enact
ment In controversy conflicts with several
of the provision!) of the fundamental law
and that the former must give way and
be declared without legal force, Inoperative
and void.
In regard to the provisions of the sched
ule which tho attorneys contended were
merely temporary and directory Judge
Hohiomb says that they are In many In
stances as lasting as other portions of the
constitution and were so Intended. Much
reliance had been placed on a. Kansas de
cision upholding a similar statute, but
Judge Holrumb points out that there la a
marked difference between the constitu
tion of the two states In that the Ne
braska document designates specifically the
time When terms of office shall begin and
end.
With reference ""to tho contention that
the legislature had the power to postpone
i for a year the choice of the successor to
the prosont Incumbents. Judge Holcomb
says that it would leave the control of
.tho offices exclusively In tho legislature.
IIo says that tho provision of the constitu
tion providing that "an officer shall hold
over until his successor Is elected "can
not bo understood to confer on the legis
lature the power to unnecessarily postpone
the election of a successor to the office,
and thereby create a condition authorizing
the Incumbent to hold over after the ex
piration of his term. The mischiefs which
would result from this construction of tho
constitution and the recognition of this au
thority In the legislature are too evident
to require discussion. By the adoption of
' measures of this character the legislative
deportment would appropriate to Itself an
extensive and dangerous power and In
fluence over a great number of offices and
' officers."
"I am willing to take my chances," he
said. '
Clerk of the County Court Ieslle said he
was not anticipating any other result very
strongly.
"As the tl-ne went on since the agreed
suit was brought and submitted to the
court I have been growing in the belief
that we would have an election this fall
4s usual," said Mr. Leslie, who will be a
candidate for the county Judgshlp. Judge
Vlnsonhaler has announced his Intention of
resigning as soon as certain business ar
rangements aro completed, and in any
event he will not again be a candidate.
Clerk of Court Uroadwell, now serving his
second term, will hold for two years moro
and so Is not immediately interested In
the decision.
One of his deputies, Andy Gallagher, .com
mented on the decision In these words:
"The supreme court of the great state of
Nebraska having spoken, why should we
question Its decision. What the court says
goes here."
County Assessor Becd's naturally expan
sive smile was broadened a bit as he went
to lunch after hearing, of the decision at
Lincoln.
"I have put in a somewhat strenuous
morning with tho Board of Equalization,"
he said, "and It really needed something
like this to keep me level. The supremo
court always has had my deepest respect,
and, of course, right now it is even more
popular with me than ever. But, seriously,
as the lawyers say, I will have to see the
decision itself before committing myself."
The county commissioners were seen and
they all had the same newly upholstered
smile and erect air of being sustained by
righteousness and victory.
"Just what we expected," said Mr. Mc
Donald, and he spoke the sentiments of
the other men affected by the . decision,
Messrs. Kennard and Hofeldt.
' OMAHA MEN ARE NOT SURPRISED
' 'Abbott and County Officers Dlsenss
-'.. the Decision..
When the announcement of the decls'on
. was mnde about the county court house
. there was not as much surprise apparent.
'as might have been expected. Certain
'of the county officers all along have ex
pressed the view that law. with relation
to their offices would rot stick. John C.
Drexel, county clerk. Is one of the men
who have freely expressed that opinion.
He aaidt . v ".'"V- i t ,
"I am not at all surprised, because I
have, believed from the time the bill was
passed that. )t would be knocked out It
attacked."
Asked If he would be a candidate for re
election. Mr. Drexel refused to declare
himself on the matter.
"It Is too far ahead for that," said he.
"and I may make up my mind to stay out
of the light."
Atorney Lysle I. Abbott, who acted for
the County Officers' association In prepar
ing the bill and. advocating It before the
legislative committees, discussed the de
cision with circumspection:
"I have no idea," he said, "of the grounds
given for the decision. I have felt all
tho time that the four bills covering the
assessors, registers of deeds, county com
missioners and supervisors would be sus
tained. As to tho fifth bill, that relating
to the other county officers, the judges
and regents of the university, I rather be
lieved that the incorporation of the judges
and regents would bo considered In the
light of an lnduoement for the bill. I
have expressed the view that if I had
the Work to do over again I would be
very Vnuoh inclined to put all the offices
affected into on bill.. The merits of the
deHsftiri , cannot,- of' course, be discussed
hi advance of the opinion In full."
. County . Engineer Kdquist said: "At the
time the bill was Introduced I told Mr.
Warner, who is a friend of mine, (repre
sentative i, from Lancaster and co
Introducer of the bill), that some one
would probably attack It and have It de
clared unconstitutional, so I am not much
disappointed."
Mr. Edqulst said he would, so far as he
knows now, be a candidate for re-election.

Hand in the Equitable Affair.
STATEMENT BY ATTORNEY GENERAL
Steps Will De Taken to Secure the
Iletnrn of Any Money Wrongfully
Taken from Treasury
of the Society.
NEW YORK, June 22.-Followlng the pub
lication of the report of Superintendent of
Insurance Hendricks as to the affairs of
the Equitable Life Assurance society came
the statement that District Attorney Jerome
of New York county has undertaken an in
quiry into the conduct of the society.
August Belmont has tendered his resigna
tion as a director of the Equitable.
Attorney General Julius M. Mayer ar
rived here from Washington tonight and
will remain In town several days Investi
gating Equitable affairs.
In an interview tonight Mr. Mayer said
It is manifest that the people throughout
the whole country sft profoundly Interested
In the affairs of the Equitable Life Assur
ance society. Therefore, I think it fitting
to say that appropriate sups will be
speedily taken by me.
First, to accomplish the return to the
Equitable of any profits wrongfully made
or retained by reason of trust relations or
other cause.
Second To debar from holding office in
this company any person who has been
faithless to tils trust or who violated any
orovls ons of law
Third To obtain an accounting for any
waste or misapplication of funds for any
reason or by anybody.
Ch-tirman Morton of the Equitable so
clcty today declined to comment on the
Hendricks report, saying that he had not
yet digested it. He said he had not ac
cepted any more resignations. From an
authoritative source it was learned that
Mr. Morton Is now devoting himself to the
work of reorganizing the board of direc
tors.
Attention was directed today to the fact
that four of the Equitable officers men
tlon1n the report of State Superintendent
of Insurance Hendricks ns drawing salaries
for the last five years are no longer ac
tively connected with the company. E. W.
Lambert appears In the report as medical
director, with a salary of $2E.0O0 a year. He
died thirteen months ago and yet, accord
ing to the table, his salary was paid this
year and last.
Edward Curtis, who figures as a medical
director at J15.0M) a year, walgned that
position eighteen months ago. George H.
Squire, who is now a director of the com
pany, Is down on the list as financial man
ager at $12,000 a year, although H. R. Wln
throp succeeded Mr. Squire as financial
manager many months ago.
J. B. Loring is recorded as a registrar,
with a salary of $3,500 a year. Mr. Loring
ceased to perform the active duties of the

an old list.

society. The report Just submitted by Mr.
Hendricks is only a preliminary one which
does not contain many matters relating to
the management now under Investigation.
These lines of Investigation may produce,
It Is understood, as Interesting exhibits as
those to which Investigation has been com
pleted sufficiently to be Included in the

Woodmen of America was the parade In
wnicn ju.uun members of the society turned
Peoria seemingly leads In the contest for
next fear's convention.
Borne of the Industrial conditions that
threaten to become unusually oppressive
to girls was the subject of an address by
Mrs. Florence Kelley of the Consumers'
league before the council of presidents
at the Atlantic City meeting recently and
she offered the following resolutions, which
were adopted by the council:
Whereas. The development of machinery
during the past five years has enabled girls
employed In the needle trades and the tex
tile trades to double the amount of their
product, and
Whereas, This Increasing speed Involves
corresponding Increase of strain upon the
eyes and the nerves of these young work
ers, and . .
Whereas, The young workers under the
age of 18 are Increasing more rapidly than
any other part of the working class, and
their health and welfare constitutes an
ever-Increasing element of the health and
welfare of the nation, and
Whereas, Two states. Ohio and Colorado,
have shown by successful effort that pro
tection for these young workers can be
afforded (Ohio by prohibiting for them all
work after 7 p. m. and Colorado by rc
restrlcting their hours of work to eight
In one day and forty-eight In one week).
Therefore, Resolved that the council of
the General Federation of Women's Clubs
recommend to the state federations and
the clubs that they strive In their re
spective states for the legal protection of
these young workers under IK years of age.
First. By statutory promoiuon oi wum
for girls under the age of 18 after 7 p. m.,
In manufacture and commerce, as In Ohio,
aud
Second. By restricting their employment
to eight hours In one day and forty-eight
In a week, as In Colorado.
Mrs. Kelley's resolutions have already
been adopted by the Consumers' leaguo and
will be presented to the coming convention
of the American Suffrage association at
Purtland, and to the National Council of
Women and Congress of Mothers and other
women's organizations for adoption.
Tho coming year's work for the Industrial
committees In the clubs was outlined by
the chairman of the General Federation of
Woman's Clubs Industrial committee, as
follows:
While every encouragement should be
given special means of relief, such as was
provided in Mrs. Kelley's resolution, the
clubs are requested to study the wholo In
dustrial situation of women, not from the
outside, as they have been doing, but from
the Inside, with working women as their
teachers. Every Btate and district federa
tion meetlnir should have an Industrial pro
gram, and some of the speakers on the pro
grams should be chosen from the ranks of
the workers. Research work should be un
dertaken In every community. The especial
research work recommended Is along tho
lines laid down by the Intermunlclpal com
mittee on household research. The object
of this committee Is to Investigate existing
conditions of household work, to secure fair
conditions for both employer and employed,
and place domestic service on a business
basis. The ultimate object of the clubs
should be to secure In each state a model
employment office law. such as the New
York Association for Household Research
was able to secure for this state. The clubs
were also asked to co-operate In the effort
to obtain an Investigation by the United
States Department of Labor Into Industrial
conditions of women and children. The
following circular, submitted to the council
for approval, has been sent out to every
federated club:
"A movement has been set on foot, mnlnly
through the Instrumentality of the Wom
en's Trades Union league, which hns for its
object an investigation by the United States
bureau of labor of women and children in
Industry, with special reference to the eco
nomic and social effect of their employment
and Its reactionary effect upon the home
and domestic life of our country. Miss
Jane Addams, Miss Mary E. McDowell of
the Chicago University settlement, and Miss
Lillian D. Wald of the Nurses' settlement.
New York, recently visited Washington for
the purpose of consulting President Roose
velt and others in the matter. It was
learned that the Department of Labor was
willing to do the-work, but that It was
without funds for such a purpose, and was
barred from asking congress for a special
appropriation.
"It was agreed that the only way to se
cure such an investigation was through
pressure brought fii hear on congress by or
ganization of wdMKfi' The Industrial com
mittee of the Genpral Federation of Wom
en's Clubs has been asked to make an ap
peal to the club' women throughout tho
United States to petition congress in be
half of this movejnent. Let the chairman
of the Industrial committee In every club
where such a committee, exists write a let
ter to the senators of her state and the rep
resentative of her district, asking that they
vote for the appropriation. Have this let
ter signed by every member of the club.
There is not the least doubt In the world
that the petition would be granted.
"There has been no official Investigation
into the Industrial conditions of women for
a number of years. The Information gained
at that time la absolutely valueless now."
The report of the program committee for
the 6t. Paul biennial occasioned one of the
liveliest discussions of the convention. Mrs.
Cowles of California, chairman, submitted

tigation of the physical work on thu filtra

choice shall be mado the actual Inquiry

tirely to an exhaustive examination of the
books, drawings and other records in the
filtration bureau, while William Barclay
Parsons, who was chief engineer on tho
New York subway and now a member of
the Panama Canal commission, will have
supervision of the entire Inquiry.
Criticism of Police.
Director Potter of the Department of
Public Safety today severely scored the
sergeants cf police for what he termed
their neglect of duty. He said:
Every day complaints reach me In refer
ence to the conduct of policemen, hut there
could be no shirking of duty and miscon
duct on the part of the men It sergeants
kept a strict surveillance over the men.
Continuing, Director Potter said that he
had received information that policemen
were seen entering a republican club fre
quently while on duty. The director said:
I understand that patrolmen know Just
when to expect the street sergeant on his
rounds. They meet him and then almost
before he gets out of sight they sneak Into
tha club.
I want It distinctly understood that or
ders have been Issued that policemen re
sign from all political clubs. This order
Is stilt in effect and you will be responsible
for its enforcement.
The director said he was Informed that

phatically told them they were to take no
Instructions from any ward leaders.

Depot Is Wrecked.
The Chicago sleeper, which was Immedi
ately behind the combination - car, swung
from the track and, crashing Into the depot,
was completely burled in the wreck of tho
building.
The violence of the crash was such that
the depot collapsed on top of the wrecked
coach. Tho hapless passengers In this
coach were crushed and maimed in the
wreck and then completely burled in the
collapse of the structure.
The next sleeper following was left off
the track behind and the other remained
upright on the rails.
An Instant after the crash of the wreck
the boiler 'cf the -great engine burst with
terrific force, scattering fire and steam
through the wreck In a manner that mado

The wrecked combination car, which had
landed crushed and splintered on top of the
engine, was at once enveloped In blinding
flames and scalding steam. The cries of the
Imprisoned passengers were heard above
the roar, but they were beyond all human
aid and the car became a pyre for a number
of human beings.
The wrecked train was making nearly
seventy miles an hour when the accident
occurred, according to the fireman.
Fireman Tells Story.
Aaron Gorham of No. 9 Rose avenue,
Norwalk, the fireman, was badly bruised,
but otherwise uninjured. He miraculously
escaped death and was brought to the
Cleveland general hospital.
"We were speeding like the wind," said
Gorham, "when the engine left the track.
It occurred so quickly that I little knew
what happened until we crashed Into the
Mentor freight house. I neither heard nor
saw the engineer after that moment. The
engine turned and somehow tha tank man
aged to fall upon me, but not heavily, and
I w-as sheltered by It. I lost consciousness
from the terrible blow which I had re
ceived upon the head and I knew nothing
until I was dragged from underneath the
wrecked engine. My escape was positively
a miracle, since I did not meet the fate of
poor Tyler."
Gorham is 35 years old and single. His
mother Is seriously ill at their home In
Norwalk and Gorham begged that, If pos
sible, the news be kept from her.
One of the most appalling features of the
wreck was the burning of the dead and In
jured. A. P. Head of London, Eng., had In
haled flames and smoke. Ills tongue was
swollen and his lungs were seared, so the
doctors declared lie could live only a few
hours.
H. H. Wright of Chicago was pinioned
in the train and was partly extricated by
his own efforts when the llames overtook
him and burned him so severely that he
died lutor. He was brought to Cleveland
on the relief train and token to the Cleve
land general hospital. Ills arms and head
wero burned so that he was hardly recognisable.

homo of tho widow of President Jurat"
A. Gurllc-ld. Mrs. Garfield lias lived In
Mentor for a number of years. Her resi
dence, however, is about two miles west
of where the wreck occurred.
Switch Open and Locked.
Conductor Alexander Hammond of the
Limited told his experience:
"1 rushed back to tiie switch immediately
after the wreck. It was open and locked
open. 1 tried It and found that It worked
all right. The switch light was out. Not a
wheel had rolled over the switch since No.
10, the earn bound Chicago ana Boston train,
went through forty-five minutes before."
James 11. Gibson of 76 Flournoy street,
Chicago, a passenger on the train, died at
a Cleveland hospllul early today from his
Injuries. Gibson was conscious up to
wltlila a short time of his death and spoke
calmly of his experience. He said:

Ornclal neport of W reck.
The following official report of the wreck
was telegraphed today by Vice President
W. C. Brown of the New York Central
lines to President W. H. Newman at New
York:
Train No. 10, eastbound, passed Mentor
at 8.35 p in., at which time the switches
were all set for the main line. No. Jo fol
lowed No. 10 fifty minutes behind it and no
trains passed Mentor in either direction be
tween the time No. 10 passed there and the
arrival of No. 26.
The operator was on the platform, with
two men named James Collins and W. M.
Ieuders, both of whom live In Mentor,
when No. 10 passed, after which the opera
tor went Into the office and remained until
about the time No. 26 was due, when he
ngaln went out on the platform and saw
No. 2i coming two or three miles away.
The operator says that be looked at the
awltrhllghts and they were white and the
switches were properly set for the main
track. He then returned to the office.
If this Is correct, between that time and
the time No. 26 headed In on the sidetrack
someone threw the switch for the sidetrack
and locked It In that position.
Seta Fire to Freight House.
No. 26 headed In the full length of the
train on tho house track, the engine leav
ing the rails ahouufour conch lengths from
the switch, crashing Into the freight house,
setting it on fire nnd turning the euglnn end
for end and telescoping the composite car,
which took fire from the burning of tho
house.
The conductor of No. Vt Immediately ex
amined the switch and called tne attention
of General Passenger Agent W. J. Lynch
of the Hlg Four, who was on the train, to
the fact thnt It was set and locked for the
sidetrack and the light extinguished. Tho
switch Is not damaged and worked per
fectly after the accident. The composite
car, which was telescoped by the engine,
was burned. No other cars In No. 26's train
turned over.
Every possible effort Is being mnde to lo
cate the party who misplaced the switch.
No. 26 whs on time and as a matter of
fact was running at a slower speed than
No. in when It passed through Mentor, as
No. 10 was late.
The result would have been the same hnd
any other of our through trains encoun
tered this open switch.

Mall Was Valuable.
CHICAGO, Juno 22. A highly Important
class of mall was carried by tho wrecked
Twentieth Century Limited. Numerous In
quiries were received at the postofftce hero
today to discover whether any of the mall
had been saved. The train carried nothing
but first-class matter usuuljy of an urgent
character and tho postofflee department
made special provision dally to catch tho
train In order to reach the larger cities east
of here In the quickest posslhi time. Im
portant letters and documents could be
mailed up to within fifteen minutes of train
time, when the last pouch was shot through
a pneumatic tube Into the Lake Shore sta
tion at La Salle and Van Uuren streets nnd
then loaded Into the baggage and mall end
of the buffet car. It was this car which
seems to have suffered destruction not only
direct but by flames. Anxiety was mani
fested In many inquiries which came over
the telephone to the postofflee today from
people who hnd entrusted Important mat
ter to the "flyer." Tho train usually car
ries from fifteen to twenty pouches of this
class of matter.
Will It en nine Old Schedule.
NEW -YORK. Juno 22. The Twentieth
Century limited on the. New York Central
Lake Shore line will bo restored to a twenty-hour
schedule Instead of the elghteen
hour schedule now In force.
President Newman made this announce
ment this afternoon, and said that ho did
not believe last night's accident was due to
the speed of the train, but It was his Judg
ment that the twenty-hour schedule should
be restored at once.
8. C. Beckwlth, who tiled today as a re
sult of Injuries sustained In the wreck,
was well known In newspaper advertising
circles. He was president of the 8. C,
Beckwlth Special Advertising agency,
which' hns offices- In this city. lie was
born at CoinellsvlHo, Md., fifty years ago
and Is survived by a widow and two
brothers.
H. 11. Wrlgnt and E. tf. Naugle of Chi
cago, two of the men allied In the wreck,
were known In Omaha. Mr. Naugle, one of
the blgijest railroad timber and lumber men
of the country, used to live In Omaha. Mr.
Wright was secretary of tho Featherstono
Foundry company and was In Omaha a
great deal during the progress of the strike
Involving the foundrymen.
Local railroad men discredit the Idea thnt
the wreck of the Twentieth Century Lim
ited will have any disparaging effect upon
the fast-time trains, the eighteen-hour run
from Chicago to New York, pointing out
that the wreck was In no way due to the
fast time of the train, but the direful neg
ligence or criminal action of someone other
than any of the trainmen. It Is pointed out
that the switch was locked open and that
this Is not an ordinary accident. There aro
local railroaders who think the disaster
may have been due to a phot carefully laid
and executed.

BUSINESS COLLEGES APPEAL
Decide to Go to Court to Heslat
sessment Levied by County
Hoard.
As-
Judge Ben S. Baker appeared before the
County Board of Equalization and per
fected the necessary steps to take an Imme
diate appeal to the district court from the
action of the board in levying an assess
ment on the commercial colleges of Omaha.
The claim will be urged to the court that
they are exempt under the constitution and
laws of the state.
Attorney Baldrlge appeared before tho
board to protest against the assessment of
the Sutherland Roofing company and tho
Sutherland Bros company. The return of
the latter was for 131,125 and this was
raised by Assessor Reed to $50,000. In the
rase of tho first mentioned company the
return of 110.600 was raised by Mr. Reed to
$.10,000. Mr. Baldrlge said the city assess
ment Is $15,000 on the roofing branch and
$15,0(0 on the other. He. also expressed the
view that manufacturing concerns which
employ many men and distribute money to
mechanics should be given more lenient
treatment by tho board than real estate.
The protest did not strike board members
as being well taken, but nc action was
