SLAB1UGH TWICE PLEASED
Decision of Bnprem Court Sustains Two
of Hit Contention
NO IMMEDIATE SUIT FOR INHERITANCE TAX
Money Kot Paid Draws Interest for
Road ft'aad rnd Stat Can
Await Cosvenlcsc
at Parties.
Judge Slubaugh feels quite elated over the
decision of the state supreme court sus
taining the inheritance tax law.
'It is as I expected," he said. "The
court's ruling, as outlined In The Bee this
morning. Is directly In line with the con
tention of our brief. We feel that there
could have been no other result under the
circumstances. Pending a motion for a re
hearing, which I rather expect will be made
as a matter of course, the county attorney's
office will not take any further steps for
the appointment of appraisers. There need
be no reat hurry In the matter, as the l:w
provides for Interest on all moneys Involved,
and that will make so much moro to "o
Into the permanent road fund of the county
in the final outcome.
"There was a peculiar feature about thlt
Inheritance tax decision. Some time ago,
through the attorney general, I asked tor
a few days' more time In which to tile a
reply brief to the answer of the attorneys
i n the other side. This morning I received
two letters, one notifying me that I could
luive until November 1 to file our rer'y
lrlef and the other notifying me that the
vi it of mandtmua against the county
:i:dce was allowed. However, all's well that
i"d i well."
Judge elabaugh also felt indorsed by the
fiecinlon. holding the antl-clgarette law to
It giMni. The county attorney's oflVe had
rr minted the granting of the writ of habeas
corpus dlerr.sruing John Alperson from cus
tody, and when Judge Pay overruled their
contention und set Alperson at liberty
.T'iclge Blabaugh at once took un appeal
Tl-e higher court having now upset Judge

f : higher than usual. He says he feels

of the supreme court," said the county
Judge, "until the opinion Is made 'public In
extenso. While 1 can not speak with cer
tainty, 1 feel confident that Mr. Frttchett
and Messrs. Crofoot & Scott, who argued
against the constitutionality of the law be
fore the court, will ask for a rehearing.
The case may even be taken to the su
preme court of the Cnlted States for final
settlement. Personally I feel that the law

test."
Makings" Hard to tiet.
Cigarette papers are hard to get in
Omaha. After an hour's search Friday by
a Bee reporter one man was found who
declared that he had bought papers at a
cigar store In the morning. A viblt at sev
eral stores fulled to bring l'oilh any papers,
and all the dealers denied that fliey hud
sold or given them away since the pas
sage of the antl-clgurette law. It is gen
erally known that In several stores, r
since the recent decision of the dlati.d
court, puptis huve been left lying on the j
counter wnere customers cuuiu lit mem
selves apparently without the knowli-dgc of
the di-aler. But since the action of the
supreme court Thursdny none are to be
seen, either on the count, rs or In the show
cases. TWO DEATHSFROM ACCIDENT

John Kestokl died at the South Omaha
hospital Just before noon yesterday as the
result of bctug struck by un Albright car
Wednesday night. At the time of the acci

tracks and did not see or hear the car
coming. His left leg was broken and he
was also badly bruised. Immediately after
the atrldent Kt-stokl was taken to the
South Omaha hospital, where he was given
medical attention. His advanced sge 70
years .nade it difficult for him to recover
from the shock. Coroner Bralley will be
notified, hut it remains with the family of
the deceased us to whether an Inquest will
be held or not.
William Reed, colored, fell In a vat at
Armour's Wednesday evening and was so
badly scalded that he died at the South
Oumliu hospital Friday forenoon. R-ed

NEW BLOCK SIGNAL SYSTEM
Iowa IV ai Perfeo'.B Device Which My
Revolutionize Train Service.
PROTECTS BOTH ENDS OF THE TRAIN
Stations Are Notified When Train Is
Approaching nud Crossings Are
Automatically Gnarded Be
fore Train Reaches Them.
During the years that K. i. titotts of
Perry, la., was working as a conductor
for the Milwaukee railroad he did not
spend all his time punching tickets but
kept an eagle eye out to see where he could
make an improvement in the running of
the trains, with the result that he lias had
patented a block system that bids fair to
revolutionize the train service on thu rull
roads of the country.
Mr. Stottu has organized a company of
which be is vice president, P. H. O'Con
nor president, H. C. Slotts secretary and
treasurer and B. T. Llndley manager,
known as the Stotts-Lojrjdon-Slgnnl and
Equipment company und has opened head
quarters In Omaha in the old Dewey &
Stone building on Furnam street, where he
has equipped a complete railroad system
with tracks, cars, stations. In fact a com
plete railroad.
The train on this railroad Is operated by
electricity as are also the blocks and sig
nals for which patents have been allowed
and Issued. The model shows the only
signal device In operation which pro
tects the rear, and heud end of a train
and also shows the direction in which the
train Is running. The signals are auto
matic, operated by electricity without the
aid of man. The system notifies the sti
tlott ahead In advance by bell in the depot
that the train has left the last station and
also protects the ttais while inside the
switching limit both front and rear by a
signal on each side of the station. ..flowing
danger on each side of the main line,
while the train remains on the main line.
Should a train go on siding to clear the
signals would go to clear, providing the
switches were sdjusted to the main line.
The ssme operation is msde with signals
on each side of station by train order
signals being put to danger, thereby noti
fying train liefore arrival that orders are
at the station.
An automatic crossing signal is also
operated by the approach of the train by

crossing in advance, and releasing the
same when train has passed. All of these
devices will work on double, as well as
single track. '
Many of the local railroad managers have
examined the devices, as well as expert
signal men and no faults were found by
either expert or managers, and several of
the railroads are considering the proposition
of buying the system and Installing the
same.
The model which is operated at Omaha Is
well constructed and contains a device
new to people of the city. The motor
car is operated by an overhead trolley,
which has two wires with two wheels on
trolley pole.
General Superintendent Piatt of the New
Tork It New Haven railroad, who repre
sented the block signal devices of this
country at the international railroad meet
ing held in Washington lust spring, said
In sn address before that body that no
system of blocking would be complete until
the trains were blocked in front and be
hind and the signal showed In which di
rection the trains were going.
Mr. Stotts Is showing his patent to rail
road men. but Is pleased to have the gen
eral public Inspect It as well.
Xew Milwaukee Service.
Eh'ectlve Sunday the Milwaukee will put

DAVIDSON DOES NOT AGREE
Superintendent of Schools Takes Eioeptioi
to Ee marks of Physician.
PARENTS ARE TOO OFTEN TO BLAME
Aliraed "Imperfect Development" of
Children Dae to Abuse of
Schools System and Not
to Its
Superintendent Davidson does not agree
with Dr. Freeda M. Lankton that the pubUo
schools are to blame for race suicide and
imperfect physical development of Amer
icans. , He believes It is the abuse and not
the use of the public school system that
sometimes cautes bad results. He says:
As to the "Imperfect development of our
girls" a physician's opinion should rate
higher than a school man's opinion. I feel
that there must be uome ground for tbe

to whether the statement Is not too broad.
Docs the discussion not refer to the "ex

the statement not be. "some of our bovs
und gliis uie hoperlectly developed phys

true In ail the history t.f the world, even
lung brlo.e the public school system was
organised?
However, while I feel that the physician's

Kreat wiight n this question, still I find
iwysiit as u school man unable to agree
with the stutoii'-nt that this condition of
"impel feci development" (If It exists). Is
largely duo to the public school system.
I da not hold that the public school sys

know, thai it is better today than ever
before In Its history. We are often led to
