LINCOLN. Oct. 18. Special T-lt-gram.
The fate of Ui a ( o'clock closing law now
rests wiLb the supreme court. The appeal
of Frank Dlnuxso of Omaha, convicted
In the lower eourt of Douglas county of
selling liquor after 8 o'clock at night and
which resulted In the revocation of his
license under the daylight saloon bill waa
argued To the duurt today. The defendant
waa represented by Weaver & GlUer and
the law waa defended by the attorney
general and I D. Holmes, who secured
permission this morning- to appear aa a
friend of the court.
In the opaoauun to the law. which they
held la unconstitutional, the attorneys for
Dlnuaao gave tne following; reasons:
B. causa It contravenes section L article
111 ot me constitution which provides ttiat
very bill snail be read at large on three
differ nt days betore uie house and aenaie:
no bin snail contain more man one auu
Jeet and no act snail be amended unices
ttie new act snail contain tne sections o
tnund.d and the aecnuna so amended snau
be r. peaied.
Bw-aUM tne law contravenes the consti
tution, secuon U. article ill. wnicn provides
tnai no bin shail contain more man one
subject and the fiamu snail be clearly ex
pressed in ita title.
The amendments to section 14 are not
germane to tne subject. It denies tns
not-iiMte the right to a trial by jury on uie
forfeiture of 111s license or the right of
appeal.
it provides excessive fines and Inflicts
cruei and unusual punismnent contrary
to state and federal consul utiuna.
It aniendK Lie charters of cities and vil
lages contrary to tha cunstiiutiunai re
uuirementa. For uia state, tho attorney general con
tended tha new act is not In conflict ith
the iilucurab law. The power of a com
munity to grant a license and regulate
the iquor traffic, ha argued, la not mod
lr,'ar y "" law.. Tha community, ha
arguce does not have tho "exclusive" reg
ulation of tho liquor traffic. The attor-
ney general contended there la no merit
ltl the claim of tba defendant, that be
eausa the saloon keepers of Omaha had
paid th air license fee. expecting to keep
open until midnight, they should ba al
lowed to do so. becauaa tha licensee has no
vested right In any sense that It cannot
be lawfully abridged. Tha punishment, Mr.
Thompson Insisted, la not unusual or cruel,
in that It la only a Ene of COO. tha revo
cation of the license following aa a con
sequence aa In alMa.ing a nuisance.
. Imatrwaoe Us Saalaartew K.
Tho deolaion of the federal court in de
claring unconstitutional the bank guaranty
act wilt not affect the increased salaries of
the office employ? of the Sla,e Banking
board. Thinking the secretary to tho board,
tha chief clerk and tha stenographer war
going to bo appointed by Governor Shal
lenberger and would ba prey for the demo
crat la state committee In campaign time,
tho legislature Increased the salary of the
secretary C.00O a year; tho chief clerk COO
and tho stenographers fast a year. Tho
appropriation waa maila fox these amounts.
Inasmuch aa It haa been customary for
tha- auditor; to pay salaries according to
tho appropriations, tho persons Interested
will, if custom is- followed, secure tha In
creased' salaries regardless of tho fact that
tho act is knocked out.

Tho city of Lincoln is certainly up against
It over tho row between tho legal depart
ment of tha county and ot tho city. Aa tho
county attorney could not get the support
of tho city authorities in hla efforta to
clean out tho proscribed district ho haa
called upon tho city attorney to do some
work m police court. Tho city attorney
comes back with tha statement that It is
tha duty of tho county attorney to do hta
duty In tho police court and tho city at
torney Is not required to bo present at
every session of tho court.
In tha meantime Acting Chief Malone of
tho pallca department has hla back up and
haa notified tha legal department that
hereafter in special cases It will bo up to
tho county attorney to issue warrants be
fore arrests will ba made. Ho bell eves re
sults will not bo aa satisfactory under thia
procedure, but as It Is tha wish of tho
oxclso board ho will follow this plan for
titer present.

then Bishop Clarkson. who had ln mind a
hospital for children, secured another loca

Poppleton alone remains.
"We soon secured that place on Dodge
street which we hsve all seen do so much
good, not only for children, but grown
people. When Bishop Clarkson started
that hospital he never dreamed that it
would sumo day be housed ln such a struc
ture as this.
"When you find that a man haa no money

everything your hospital affords, and I
promise yon as sure aa t stand here a
