NO OCCASI03 TO BE EXERCISED Hearaaaa te Bar aaoria tlaw Ra. lasses a C Ire-alar t th eter af fa Mate. fFm-n a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Aug. IS 9r-ecial Vm the co inty clerks and county botrds are needlessly exercised over the delay of the State Board of Equalisation in certifying out the value of railroad terminals. Some of these officials are of the opinion they have to have thl valuation before making their county an1 school levies. Such, how ever, la r.ot the cae. The value ef Talirosd property under the provisions of the termi nal tax law affects only levies for muni cipal purposes. The property upon which county and scf.- levies have to be made has already been certified out to the county clerks, and every county board it now In a position to mske Its levy. Among trios who telephoned Secretary Pchavland yeaterdar for the value of rail road property under the terminal tax law were the county clerks of Lancaster, Platte and Butler counties. Each waa Informed that his board had nothing- to do wtlh the property assessed under the terminal taxing- law. Bar Esdanei Aaaeadsseat. The Nebraska Bar association, through special rommlttee. has Issued a pamphlet In wMch It endorses the constitutional amendment relating- to the Increase In the number of suprm Judges. For this amend ment to be a part of any party platform and thus receive a vote When a straight party vote la cast It must receive a ma jority of the votes at the coming atate primary. Tho committee which drew up the endorsement of the amendment con sisted of C. C. Flanshurg. president of the har association; J. J. Sullivan, former democratic chief Justice: W. H. Herdman, former democratic clerk of the supreme court; K. B. Quackenmish. fusion member of the legislature; Senator E. t King, re publican, and F. M. Hall, republican. The committee represents the three parties In the state. The circular eas the supreme court Is now composed of three Judges and tlx commissioners. These commissioners ara appointed to assist the Judges, and the plan la merely a makeshift, because tha constitution provldea for only three su preme Judges. Under the law, tha circular aaya, the commissioners ran act only In an advisory capacity. Their opinions can only recommend. The court alone can pronounce a Judgment and la alone respon sible,. This makes la necessary for all of tha work of the commissioners to be re viewed by each Judgj. None of the Judges has previously read the record, heard the arguments, read the briefs or bill of ex ceptions. Should the correctness of an opinion be doubted by the court. It must be referred back to the commission and all gone over again. If an agreement can not be reached, tha case must be reargued. It la Fwrew Traaefera. City Attorney Stewart of Lincoln today made application to the State Railway com mission for an order compelling tha Lincoln Tractin company to give transfers to tha atate fair grounds. The traction company has Us lines completed to tha fair grounds, but so far It haa failed to Inform the peo ple that It intends to give transfers good on this line. Under tha rules of procedure adopted by thea commission, tha afreet car company has fifteen days In which to file tta answer, after which a data for the hearing la to be set. It la barely possible the street car company will come across with Its transfers before the commission geta around to hear the case. Anyhow, the Burlington and the CHlxena carry people to the fair grounds for t cents each way The Citizens givea transfers from all of Its linea. Stark Tarda Case Healay.

SEARS' VERDICT SET ASIDE Jaage Taos as Overrates Daaglaa lawatr Caart. CENTRAL. C1TT. Neb.. Aug. li-A Judg ment obtained before Judge Sears of the Douglas county district court waa set aside when Judge Thomaa thia week handed down bis decision finding for the plslntiff In tha case of Fred C. Ratcliff against George Moore. Grace L. Moore and Thomaa H. Metiers. The esse originally grew out of a real estate deal In which George W. Moore traded a drug stock in Tork county for some land In Howard county. After the deal wa completed. Moore claimed the land was not as represented, and brought suit In the .district court of Douglas county against Joseph A. Hays. Fred C. Ratcliff j and W. C. Kerr, who had been Involved In the deal. The case waa tried before ! Judge Sears In Omaha In the spring cf 1W7. and an Instructed verdict given against Mr. Ratcliff alone for the sum of C5n0. Mr. Ratcliff at once commenced suit to have this claim aet aside and his petition aet up some Interesting allegations. He claimed that before the suit came on for hearing In Omaha he had met George W. Moors and his attorney, Thomas H. Matters of the firm of Green. Breckinridge Matters of Omaha, and settled any Judg ment that might' be obtained against him by transferring to Moore a lot In Spring Valley precinct In Douglas county. He claimed that he supposed that an .agree ment which boh ha and Moore had signed was to this effect, and that confident that he had settled all hla liability in the case, upon the assurance of Matters who was attorney for Moore, he had made no ap pearance when the case came on for hear ing In Omaha. However, he claims that he waa deceived by Matters' representations, and that when the case was tried dudggnent waa entered against him by default because ha made no appearance or defense. The case was tried before Judge Thomas some time ago, but he did not hand down a decision until he came up from Columbus this week to hold a brief equity session of the court. In his decision the court held that the contract signed by RatcHff and Moore waa not the true contract, and that the true contract waa that Ratcliff be re leased of all liability for any Judgment that might be obtained against him. and the court therefore ruled that the contract should be reformed aa the plaintiff asked. and also ruled that the Judgment against tha plaintiff should be satisfied and the cloud upon his property removed.
