Clarke, Jr., resigned to Speaker Nettleton as s member of the legislature tonight and Governor Bheldon has ap pointed him a member of the Stats Rail way commission to serve until the next general election to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Robert Cowell. Be fore the resignation had been accepted Representatives Dodge and Lee and Speaker Nettleton made speeches euloglsHo of Mr. Clarke, who replied feeling.,, , promising to faithfully discharge his new duties. The appointment of Mr. Clarke to take the place made vacant on the commission by the resignation of Robert Cowell was decided upon by Governor Sheldon some days ago, but Inasmuch as there waa yet considerable work to be done In the house, the governor waa adverse to hsvlng the Douglas county member resign until this Important work had been completed. Dr. Wlnnett and Judge Williams, the other members, have not organised the commis sion as yet, preferring to wait until Mr. Clarke had been appointed so that the three of them could select a secretary and assistants which all could agree upon. The commissioners will meet as soon as the governor signs Mr. Clarke's commission, and organize. At this time there are eeventy-flve or 100 applicants for secretary. nd equally as many for the other places. The secretary Is to be paid a salary to be fixed by the commission, the legislature having appropriated a lump sum for the purpose. The fact that Governor Sheldon did not appoint Mr. Clarke a week or two ago, Is taken as a compliment to the gentleman from Douglas, for the governor has been particularly anxious that all platform pledges be kept and he realised that in Mr. Clarke he had a valuable member for this purpose. Talk About Organisation. The Railway commission met tonight And Informally discussed organisation and the employment of a secretary and other as sistants. Nothing definite was done and the meeting was purely Informal. The attempt of a self-appointed commit' tee of Lincoln charity workers to use the state legal . department for investigating the accounts of the Tabltha Home when under the management of Rev. Henry Heimer has failed, the supreme court hav lng held today that It had no jurisdiction to order such lnvestlgatli. The petition for an Investigation was filed by Attorney General Brown, who was ham' mered half to death by these charity work ers, and though Governor Mickey ordered him to withdraw the suits, Mr. Brown took tho bit In his teeth and niBhed It through to the final result announced today. Several of those who were back of this movement are now defendants In various libel suits started by Rev. and Mrs. Helner. Governor's Mother 111. Governor Sheldon was called to Nehawka tonight to see his mother, who Is 111. Mrs. Sheldon is said to be suffering; from a deep cold bordering on pneumonia, and one of her lungs Is badly congested. Unless his mother's condition Is grave, owing to her advanced age. Governor Sheldon will, re turn to Lincoln In the morning. . Relief Fund Criticised. Some of the provisions of the Burlington relief- fund are treated severely in a de cision handed down by the supreme court In the case of Elisabeth Healey against the Burlington for the recovery of the re lief due because of the death of her hus band. Mrs. Healey had $500 coming from the relief department, of which her husband was a member, but was advised by friends that she was Justly - entitled to more for the benefit of herself and her small chil dren. The road requires a contract which bars a person who has paid Into the relief fund from instituting a suit for damages in case he has accepted the relief benefit. Mrs. Healey, therefore, elected to bring suit against the company. In the place of the paltry $500 which the relief fund would have given her she was awarded 13,500 by the Jury, but this verdict was set aside by a former decision of the supreme court because Mr. Healey's death was due to a partial negligence on hla part. With regard to that case the court holds that though she might have been barred from beginning an action for the recovery of damages for herself by accepting the relief, she might still have had the right to bring suit as administratrix of the estate In behalf of her children. Afterward Mrs. Healey brought : suit for the recovery of the 1600 due from the relief department and the road urged that she had no right to do so under the contract made by Healey, which says: If any suit shall be brought against said company for- damages arising from or growing out of injuries or death occurlng to me, the benefits otherwise payable and all obligations of said relief department end of said company shall thereupon be forfeited. In commenting upon this clause of the contract Chief Justice Sedgwick says: She has' a constitutional right that the courts shall be open to her to redress the grievance of negligently killing her hus band and to litigate her claims predicated upon such negligence, but If she exercises that right she must, under this contract. suffer a forfeiture for so doing. If the company required Its employes to deposit money with the company upon contract that If such employe should afterward be Injured In the service of the company and should bring an action for damages the money so deposited should be forfeited. would such a contract be enforced? Can a party contract beforehand under penalty and forfeiture that he wUl not MtlKate claim that may thereafter arise? The policy of our law is to furnish every citizen with speedy redress for any injury that he may receive In person or property, and a con tract which essentially imposes a penalty upon seeking such redress is contrary to that policy. The long drawn out controversy between Peter E. Her and Rome Miller over the possession of the Her Grand hotel Is near lng a close. Mr. Miller must vacate within forty days, unless he files a motion for a rehearing. ' The Judgment of the district court was sustained In the case, which was In favor of Her. The case was begun In a justice court. carried to the district court, and finally to the supreme court on error. The basts of the appeal was made the aDswer of a witness who testified that Miller had been In possession of the property since the lease was given him. It was objected that the witness was stating a conclusion, and not a facL If Miller asks for a reheating of the case It probably will be from three to six months before a final settlement is reached.

FARMER 19 SHOT BY NEIGHBOR Two bat NEW WITNESS IN MILES WILL TJASB Mtasourlan Testifies Deceased Said Ha Wosld Not Change Will. FALLS CITY, Neb., April 4.-(Speclal.-. Th famous Miles case, which has been In the courts of this state for seven years, la once more on trial In the district court, with Judge Raper presiding. For several days the plaintiffs have presented their case, which was principally reading of the testimony taken In the former trial. They Introduced no new testimony. Yesterday the defendant, J. H. Miles, began to pre sent his side of th case, and the first thing was a heavy blow to the opposition In the person of a new witness, who riddled the case made by the plaintiffs. The point In the case Is whether or not will giving J. H. Miles the bulk of his father's estate, made In Rulo, Neb., In 1888, Is the last will and testament of the deceased. The plaintiffs claim a later will was made In St. Louis, dividing th prop erty differently. The new witness, W. H. Moore, who Is prominent resident of Missouri, says that in the year after the new will la claimed to have been made he saw and talked with Mr. Miles and was shown th will made at Rulo, and that Mr. Miles stated that was his will and he did not Intend to change It. This testimony, given by a reputable witness, takes th support away from the plaintiffs' case. This case has attracted a great deal of attention for several years on account of tha value of th estate, and also on account of the charges of perjury and corruption Eye-Wltnesses to Fight, Neither Will Talk.
