I orana domes. When the voter goes to the polls No vember 5 he will be expected to am a vote for or against a constitutional amendment, the Interpretation of which has puzzled Borne of the best legal minds in the state and the adoption or rejection of which will determine whether or not rtaln county officeholder all over the state shall or shall not be candidates for re-election In 1913. This Is the proposed amendment fixing the time of the general election in the state on the even years, beginning with 1914. The amendment as proposed Is said be ambiguous. Part of the wording seems to make it clear that county officials elected In 1913 for what normally would be a two-year term will serve hut one year, and that thone e!ectfJ for what nor mally would be a four-year term will serve but three years, or until the next general election preceding the time of the termination of their office. Theri, when this is made clear, so say some who have been studying the proposition, there appears the puzzling clause, "provided that no office shall be vacated thereby, but the Incumbent thereof shall hold over until Ws successor Is duly elected and Qualified." This would seem to Indicate that the amendment expected the provi sion to lengthen the term of some of the offices while the shift was being made, rather than to curtail them by one year, Sa part of the phrasing is being generally Interpreted. The proposed amendment to section 13 of article xvl of the constitution of the state of Nebraska, which Is the proposi tion causing this discussion. Is as follows: WhM It Sara. "Section 18 (General Election, When Held). The general election of this state shall be held on the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday of November in the year 1914 and every two years there after. All state, district, county, pre cinct and township officers, by the con stitution or laws made elective by the people, except school district officers and municipal of fleers. In cities, villages and towns, shall be elected at a general eleo tion to be held as aforesaid. Judges of the supreme, district and county courts, oil elective county and precinct officers and all other elective officers, the time for election of whom Is not herein other wise provided for, and which are not included In the above exception, shall be elected on the Tuesday succeeding the frst Monday In November, 1913, and. thereafter at the general election next preceding the time of the termination of their respective terms of office. Pro vided, that no office shall be vacated thereby, but the Incumbent thereof shall hold over until his successor Is duly elected and qualified," ' . It Is taken from this that the election of 1913, provided for by the proposed amendment, is , to elect, as usuai, a sheriff, county ; clerk, register of deeds two county ,simnt!sloners, county Judge county superintendent bf public Instruc tion, county surveyor, or all the coun'v officials .regularly.' elected ;'oh; the odd year by the' present system. As the of flee of sheriff, , for example,' Is a twd year "office, he' Would under the proposed system effme up again for election in 1914, Which would be the "next genera! election, next preceding the time of the termination of his term of office." This would give him a one-year term. , , As the register of deeds regularly holds a four-year term, he would corns up again at the general election of 1918 which Is the "general election next pre I ceding the time of the termination Of his term of office." This would give him but a three-year term.1 i .. As tht county commissioner Is elected for three years, he would again come up tor election In 1916, which, would coincide with the year for the general election, ! and hts term would be neither curtailed nor extended. '.. -. j In view of these Interpretations, many I are wondering what Is the purpose of ! the clause which provides that "no office ; shall be vacated thereby, but the lncum I bent ' thereof shall hold over until his successor is duly elected and qualified," ' .TnitsrPK Woo Effected, The district Judges also would fall un der the new ruling. Th district Judges I of Doug'as county who. were questioned regarding the matter said they could (Bay absolutely nothing about It, although they recognized there was reason for a dif ference of opinion.

He was taken to St. Joseph's hospital.' The wounds are not fatal. 1 Pssnowskl, with Detectives Ring and Van Dusen and Sergeant Sa'mueison, an swered a, call to the M. Kettleman gro cery, (02 North Eighteenth street, at It? o'clock this morning, and as they sur rounded the place, four men broke from a shadow and scattered in different di rections. : They were pursued by the of ficers and all escaped except the one taken by Pssnowskl. ,' He wa& dt in the right forearm; the left shoulder, the right wrist and also had a burn on his right side where a bullet grazed him. While running one of his comrades turned and fired at Pssnowskl, who then , started shooting on his own account! It , U believed that another of the burglars . Is also wounded.
