LINCOLN. May l.-Special.)-The ques
tion as to whether or not a woman can

put up to the stat supreme court by ex
City Treasurer Robert lrter of .rUma. A
j decision was one given by that body in
the case of Gertruda Jordan of Cherry
, county, but tha case which comes from
Harlan county. Mr. Porter contends, that
Jean McKee. (ha woman who was elected
to that place was not an elector, therefore
claim sba la not eligible to tha office un
der tha constitution and tha statutes.
Tha woman tn the case contends that
he la a resident taxpayer of Alma, meeting-
the Porter claim that she la not an
elector. The question, however, before
the court and the one which must be set
tled before the main Issue can be disposed
of Is whether or not ,the woman Is an
elector. Unless she la. In the meaning of
the statute. It will be Impossible for her
to retain her hold nn tn ntti tv..
woman was granted a writ of mandamus
from District Judge Harry Dungan of
Hasting which compelled Porter to turn
over to her more than 13,200 of the city
fund of Alma In addition to the record
nd office furniture. "
'Jean McKee, the relator In the case, was
the enly candidate for city treasurer
whoee name was printed on the ballot at
, the city election, April 4. She was elected,
gave bond, and demanded possession of
; th office. Mr. Roberts contended that she
waa Ineligible to the office and refused to
give possession. The parties to the suit
Instituted qua warranto proceedings In the
district court to teat the eligibility of the
relator an dthls suit Is tUl pending In that
court. In the meantime, Jean obtained
I possession of one of the reoord books of
j the city treasurers office. Mr. Porter
jsaye she got it through her attorney, n,
1 Keester, who was then mayor. In the
meantime Mr. Porter waa served with no
tice from cltlsen not to give up the office
n pain of being held responsible on his
'bond If he disposed of the office contrary
to law. Thl notice came from John Kver
jeon. for hlrriself and qualified elector of
the city. Mr. Ever son now appears In the
i tnandaraua ault a attorney for Mr. Por
'( ,ter. The Utter contended when the man

that the relator had not alleged that she
ilwss an elector and a she la a woman she
Icannot be an elector and therefore la not
loualifled to bold the office of city treas

that the complaint against him for the
lasuanp of a writ of mandamua and all

expiration of hi term.
In the ease of Gertrude Jordan from
Cherry county the suprm court held that
woman may be eligible to the office of
county treasurer. .The opinion of the court

and aald he could not agree In either the
reasoning or the conclusion and asserted
that neither under the constitution or the

court there la nothing to prevent a woman

CFrom a Stsff Correspondent.)
EL PAHO. Tex.. May 5. (Special Corres
pondenc.) American Uvea and nronortv
are in the greatest peril, in the Interior
provinces or Mexico, according to a mining
man recently arrived after an arduous
seven days' trip over the Sierra Madres.
He says the number of Americans already
killed In Isolated sections ,wUl never be
known. At the present killing and looting,
where Americans are concerned, is done
under cover. He predicts, however, that
wnen the spirit of outlawry has spread
a little more and when fewer government
representatives are to be found in the
various cities that the slaughter of the
hated gringoes will follow with awful ven
geance. At least fifteen American mining men
living In El Paso snd having interests In
Mexico, know absolutely nothing about the
condition their properties are in, or whether
they still own them. One man has been
here for five months, unable to ot hi.
home at Parral, because of the disabled
railroads. For a time he was able to get
letters by a roundabout route, but now
the last connecting link has been destroyed.
No Hope ia Revolution.
These men whose association with
Mexicans for years has given them a deep
Insight into the characteristics of the peo
ple, are unable to view the revolutionary
situation with the same optimism that ob
tains in other quarters. Most of them
while admitting that the peons have good
cause for rising up in arms, at the same
time declare that they are unable to rule
themselves. They give Dlai credit for what
he has done for the natton and are fearful
that he may be compelled by the codicil
of peace. If one is formulated, to step down
and out from the government. This they
feel would be a severe blow to the country.
They point to Francisco Madero, an ideal
ist and dreamer. All admit that he could
not bring tha country out of the present
chaoUo condition. They point out that the
Mexican, at heart. Is a vagabond and an
outlaw. Now be has tasted the sweets of
conquest, and only an iron hand will drive
them back to the plow and the monotonous
life of tb squalid adobe houses. .
Madero Caanot Bring; Peace. v
It Is considered certain that Madero can
not bring about universal peace. If a
peace compact Is made-, it is reasonably
certain that there will be no more fighting
for a time in the northern provinces. The
rank and file of the men will go honie, re
taining their arms, and then Join the first
roving leader that cornea along. It is
known that the rebel leaders ln provinces
far distant do not recognise Madero except
as a patriot.

There are many apparently well founded
rumor today that fighting .in nortlrn

undercurrent of excitement that plausible
answer and th presence of peace dele
gates wfll not down. Mysterious remarks
may be heard on every side which have to
do with the smuggling of heavy arms and
ammunition acros the border. At the
same time, though the armistice la on. the
soldiers at Juares are ever on the lookou;
General Navarro I taking every precau
tion. Every day. th same as when an at
