ln. Margaret DitIi Appeals Her

After Conviction In Cedar
County.
(From a staff correspondent.)
LINCOLN Neb.. Oct. . (Special.)
6tat Superintendent J. Crabtree has
ti-rltten a letter to boards of education
throughout tha state In which he has
Indicated that they would do well to
arnd at least one of their teachers to
me state meeiinar at umana at the ex.
pense or the district. His letter with
reference to the attendance at the hi
I
LiivrinK pays:
"Permit me trt mi rirwt vaiii irranvlttv
for your teachers to attend this meeting-.
It certainly shows enterprise and pro
fessional interest on their part to go to
the personal expense of attending the
state association. Since the school profits
fully as much as the teacher from this
attendance It is recommended that noth
ing; be deducted from the teachers'
salaries for the days spent in attending
the association.
"On the return of the board members
and the teachers, let the board and
teachers and parents who are Interested
meet and listen to reports from the state
association.
"The chief reason why Nebraska holds
the honor of the lowest per cent of
illiteracy is because of team work among
teachers and the sympathy and co
operation of school boards and parents."
Mrs. Dmvla Appeals.

Chlca
vfhat
of the Senior Class at
Cli.i. TT J.
aiaie university
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. S.-(Special.)
Announcing bis candidacy at the eleventh
hour, Richard Outhrle of Lincoln de
feated Searle Holmes of Omaba for the
presidency of the senior class at the
state university by a vote of 82 to 47
Thursday.
The candidacy of Guthrie was kept
secret until the morning of the election,
It being presumed that Holmes would be
the unanimous choice of the class. dn
Thursday morning It was found that
Guthrie had the solid support of the
engineering and forestry departments,
while Holmes relied solely on the aca
demics students for support. The engineers
and foresters turned out for the election
n masse and had little difficulty In plac
ing their candidate in the chair.
Guthrie is a "barb," but has been promi
nent In the military department and is
ooe of the best known men In the senior
class. His opponent la a member of the
I'hl Gamma Delta fraternity. Both are
lembers of the Innocents. The meeting
was largely attended, and Immediately
following the election of a president, ad
journed to a later date, when the re
maining officers will be chosen.
Nothing further has been done in the
matter of the resignation of Prof. 11. It
Smith of the agricultural department. At
the earliest. Prof. Smith will not leave
the university before December 1.

State Land Board
. Served With Papers
in Van Ness Suit
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb.. Oct. .-8pecial)-The
members of the State Board of
Public Lands and Buildings have been
served with papers In the injunction suit
started against them by C. O. Van
Ness of Grand Island, who seeks to pre
vent the state officials from discharging
him from the soldiers' home at that
place. A summons was brought to the
office of Governor Aldrlch but due to
the fact that he Is out of the state ser
vice wss not bad upon him.
Much Interest Is being shown In the
form of notice served upon the state
officers, they supposing that Commandant
Hot was the real defendant. A copy
of the notice served upon the head of
that Institution would denote this fact,
but on the papers served here today,
Hoyt is merely impleaded with the state
officials. Further the papers show that
when Van Ness asked for an Injunction
this was granted to him temporarily by
County Judge Mullln In the absence of
the district judges. This means accord
ing to the state officials that if Van
Ness loses in the lower court he will
be allowed to supersede the judgment of
that court and can remain a member
of the home until the matter is taken
on appeal to the state supreme court.
Several of the members of the board
are in favor of making a strong resist
ance to the suit. Governor Aldrich
when the matter was first brought to his
attention several days ago, asserted that
Van Ness when discharged from the
home after remaining there, became a
trespasser on state property and that
the only recourse he then had would be
to get a court order reinstating him to
membership in the institution.
Van Ness has been regarded as dls
turber at the home and a violator of
the rules and regulations which govern
members of the Institution. He was
one who attempted to enjoin the state
officers and commandant from retain
ing any part of the pension of mem
bers of the home. He took part in the
Joe McGraw uprising against Com
mandant Ell Barnes and he now starts
a suit against the present command
ant. Governor Aldrich regards the in
junction as an unwarranted interfer
ence in the discretionary power of the
commandant and the state officers who
admit and discharge members of the
home in accordance with regulations
which 'they are by law empowered to
make.
Ouster Proceedings
, Against Two South
Omaha Officials
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Oct. 6. (Special. Telegram.)
Attorney General Martin will today file
writ of ouster against John J. Ryan and
Joseph Plvonka, South Omaha fire and
police commissioners. In the writ he will
charge Plvonka and Ryan with accepting
a number of saloon keepers bonds signed
by tne same person, which Is a direct
violation of the statutes of. ,the state.
He will also charge them with not keep
ing ah efflcent police force and allowing
saloons to operate on Sunday.
CHARGES FILED AGAINST
NEMAHA COUNTY ATTORNEY
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb., Oct. 6. (Special.) A
complaint has been filed with Governor
Aldrlch asking that County Attorney
Fred G. Hawxby of Nemaha county be
removed for failure to enforce a law and
perform a duty enjoined upon him by
that law. The complaint is filed by Henry
Morgernstren, who alleges that the
county official failed to prosecute Wil
liam Seaman, who was Indicted by a
grand jury In May, 1907, for burning a
laundry building In the city of Auburn.
Hawxby came into his present office in
January, 1910, but the Mergernstren com
plaint alleges that Seaman has been
around the city for the. last sixty days
and that the official has made no effort
to start proceedings against him.
It U probable, according to word given
out at the state house, that a hearing
will be held in the matter before the
governor. Hawxby's friends contend that
the complaint, which Is filed under the
provisions of the Sackett law, cannot
materialize, as the law creating the of
fice of county attorney, clearly sets out
that he Is charged with not pushing com
plaints when he does not regard the evi
dence sufficient to convict. The clothing
of the county attorney In this event with
discretionary power, believe Hawxby's
friends, precludes the possibility of his
prosecution for the violation of the Sack
ett law.

Bonds Defeated at North riatte.
NORTH PLATTE, Neb.. Oct 6.-(Sp-
clal.) Wednesday a special election was
held In this city on the question of vot
ing $72,000 bonds to buy a site and erect
a city hall In this city. The result of
the election was that 288 votes were cast
for the bonds and 323 against. Taxes
have been Increased In this city about 16
per cent and the strike on the railroad
no doubt caused the people to car less
about making such an expenditure. The
main reason for wanting the city hall
was to provide a place for the fire de
partment Instead of the temporary places
which are now located In each ward.
