LINCOLN, Oct. ft ?retal.)-Op'.r.iui: I
handed down by (hf iwimo court today I
Inilcpt. In one om tliat the same r;rlitn
whlrh are givtn a voter at .in election
do not exist In the rase of a recall' of an
elected official. Transactions on ' the
board of trade are held unlawful and
tho court have no authority to step In
and assist either party.
An action by an UKent against a prin
cipal to recover for aliened commissions
and money advanced for the principal
Jn transactions Involving nlletced pur
chases of strain on the Chlcaco hoard of
trude for lutiiro delivery, according to the
court, depends whether the Intention was
that the principal should become tho
fictual buyer of grain through the agency
of the commission merchants or whether
it was expressly or impliedly agreed to
act as the principal's agents In gambling
purchases of grain which the principal
had no Intention of receiving.
The case cornea from an appeal from
the district ' court of Douglas county,
Sunderland & Saunders, who sought to
recover $5,593.75 rom Frank B. Hihhard,
alleged to be due tfcem for transactions
on the Chicago board of trade through
Jllbbard, who was made defendant.
Defendant put up, as his defense that
the transactions wre based on the fluc
tuations of the market and were purely
1'lctttlous and gambling tranwicllons in
violation of law and contrary to public
' jiollcy, and therefore could not b col
lected upon by law.
The district court held against the
plaintiffs and thsuureinn court frirm.
tho action, saying: "In such a ease the
courts of the state will not aid either
party to the transaction."
Contract for La ad Holds,
A contract made by a corporation for
mally executed, in its name by its pres
ident win, 1 the absence of proof to the
contrary, be assumed to have been au
thorized by the corporation and the con
tract madu by A. U. ntckney, president
of the Mason City & Fort Dodge Rail
way company, as it? president, for the
mle of a tract of land to the Omaha
. Wool A Storage company, on .which It
elected a warehouse, stands, ,and the
judgment cf the DoukIhb counVj district
court Is therefore affirmed.
Sentence Made Lighter.
The Judgment of the Lancaster county
district court is modified by the supreme
court in the application of John Hudson,
sentenced to the penitentiary for seven
years for assault upon the person of
Anna Welse. a 14-yep.r-old girl. The tertl
mony given hy witnesses alleged that be,
fides the criminal nets of the defendant
he hud receive d money from other parties
in connection -with other ,acts of a like
nature. Tho unreme ourt IioHm thai
on account of the ago of the drfenda: t,
who was ;i years old at the time of the
trial, that the sentence of seven year
wua excessive and modifies It to three
year j.
Kin May Hold Plnre.
O. J. King, city commlss.oner of Lin
coln, can retain his office to the end of
the term for which he was elected, the
supreme court holding that a recall peti
tion filed bv citizens of Lincoln nnd re
jected by City Clerk Thomas H, Heig did
not contain a siflicirnt number of signa
tures of legal voters. The city clerk re
jected all namea on the recall pctltioii
which did not appear on the regulr.r vot
ers' register. Tiio court holds thit while
a man's right to vote la not taken away
by, his ftilliiro to register, tho rUht to
sign a recall petition is different from the
voting privilege. .
ICvldeaee of Death.
Bridget McLaughlin of Holt county can
recover from the Woodmen of the World
the sum of $1,000, Insurance carried by
James W. McLaughlin, her son, and of
which she was made the beneficiary In
case of death. " There la no direct evi
dence that the young man la dead, but
it . is held by courts that seven years'
absence without tidings may be taken as
evidence of death. The lower court held
that 'the evidence introduced in tho case
of McLaughlin was sufficient to indicate
his death and a Judgment was rendered
lor th amount, and the 'supreme court
holds likewise.

Merchant Vessel
Captured by Yacht
Under an American
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. ft-The Pacific
Commercial Advertiser of Honolulu,
copies of which came to hand here today,
relates how the Due de Montpensier, who
hES offered his services to the British ad?
mlralty, captured the German merchant
man Hamamotal, of nearly 4,000 tons reg
ister, white scouting off Hing Tau in
his yacht, the Mekong, which waa com
manded at the time by Captain Henry
E. Morton, an American citizen, formerly
a master in the service of the Facific
Mail Steamship company.
"On August D, while lying In the har
bor at Yokohama," the duke Is quoted
as having said, "I decided to turn my
yacht over to the Hrltiah government.
After a conference with' Sir James Cun
ningham Greene, the British ambassador
to Japan, my offer was accepted, and
th) British flag hoisted. Four rapid-fire
guns weremounttd and, still In command
of Captain Morton, we were ordered to
Join the British fleet, which was then
mobilizing at Wei Hal Wei. In the mean
time we were to keep an eye open for
German merchantment. While scouting
off Tslng Tau we sighted the Hama
metal. It refused to stop wfien we sig
naled, but a couple of shots- across Its
bows convinced those on board that we
meant business and it hove to.
''The officers of the Haroametal made
no resistance and we put a :prle crew on
board and took It into Wei Hal Wei,
where It in now held' a prize." 11 '
Captain Morton has resigned.
