LAW VALID BUT IMPOTENT Soldiers' Preference Statute L'pheld, tat Coart Refuses to Interfere with Discretion of Appointing- Officers. r (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINE8. Oct. 2.-Speolal.)-The supreme court closed Its sitting for the second period of the September term late last evening and acted on a large number of cases. The court overruled a motion for a rehearing In the case of the state against Charles Thomas, convicted of the murder of Mabel Scoftcld. Nothing but a possible pardon now stands In the way of Thomas serving a life sentence for the crime. Thomas after the death of Mabel Bcofleld at the home of Thomas' parents in this city left for Nebraska and was engaged In farm ing there when he was Indicted here. The court also overruled the petition for a rehearing In the case of Mrs. Jennie Huegle, the county superintendent of this county. This case Involved Mrs. Huegle's competency and legal qualifications to fill the position of county superintendent of schools. In a way it also -ivolved' the constitutionality of the new state teachers' certificate law. The action of the court, results In Mrs. Huegle being Vit out of the office and In upholding the constitutionality of the law. The soldier's preference law was again upheld by the supreme court In two cases, one appealed from Creston and the other from Sioux City, but the court In Its opinions held that the courts cannot inter fere with the discretion of tho public of ficials engaging or employing old soldiers and that an old soldier In addition to being of good moral character and qualified must hare equal qualifications with other ap plicants. One case was that of L. M. Boyer of Creston, who applied to be street com missioner. On being refused he asked for a writ of mandamus, which was denied by th court, and this action the supreme court affirms. In the Sioux City case G. J. Ross applied for th position of health officer and on being refused asked for a writ of mandamus, which the court Issued. This the supreme court reverses. The supreme court acted on a total of forty-nine cases before concluding the period last night. Pas Case Before Judge Chare. In conformity with the order of the su preme court Attorney Thomas O.
