BIG STIR CAUSED
BY REED'S ORDER
Nebraska
Payment of All Fees in Advance to
State Treasurer Will Change
Many Office Systems.
TWO OFFICES ARE HARD HIT
(From a Staff Correspondent.) 1
MNCOI.N, Neb.. Jan. 11 (Spetlal.)
Tho ruling of 1 Attorney General Reed
that state offlVrs may not receive fee
direct,- but only In the shape of a receipt
from the treasurer's office, will cause
much confusion for a while at the state
house.
The offices of the secretary of state
and, of the superintendent of education
will be particularly hard hit. the former
because of the bulk, of the fees received,
and the latter because of the red tape
that will necessarily be created In the
matter of the teachers' examination
, fees, which are small an very numerous
and designated by number only.
TreHonr Moat Work Hard.
Kxtra work In a very large amount
will be heaped upon the new treasurer,
as each Item must go all the way through
Ms books, whereas at the present he re
ceives the fees In a lump from the vari
ous departments at intervals. The
treasurer will probably ask for an In
creased appropriation to pay for extra
'help.
Superintendent Thomas is anxious to
haw closely to the letter of the law, but
aeea some trouble ahead In connection
with the 60-cent examination fees of the
teachers, over 10,000 In number. The ex
aminations at present are taken by num
ber only, the teacher's name not appear
in Wtli Change System.
Under the new schnme it would be al
most impossible, to pursue the number
scheme. Each one of the - numerous
teachers would be compelled to send her
130 cents Into the state treasurer, procure
a receipt and turn the same over to the
county superintendent, under whom she
took the examination.
Madison County
Board Refuses to
Recognize Purdy
MADISON. Neb.. Jan. 13. (Special.)
The new Hoard of County Commissioners
organised today. Chairman Purdy of the
old board was present with his attorney.
Judge McDuffoe, and claimed recogni
tion as a holdover. Fitch, who procured
the election certificate by mandamus ac
tion brought in the district court, was
also present and demanded recognition.
Judge McDuffee in behalf of Purdy con
tended that if the board recognUod Fitch
it would be passing on the validity of the
election, the issues of which were already
pending In the supreme court, and there
fore usurping judicial authority contrary
to law. On the other hand. County At
torney Dowllng advised the board It must
recognize Fitch because he was In posses
sion of the certificate of election, behind
which they had no right to inquire, and
refusing to recognize him It would be
necessary to Institute mandamus pro
ceedings to compel such recognition.
After considerable discussion Fitch was
recognized as the duly qualified com
missioner and Judge McDuffee served no
tice upon the newly organized board that
such action would not be recognised by
Purdy, and that he would sit with the
board and demand that his name be called
on roll call. It Is understood that Purdy's
attorney will Institute quo warranto pro
ceedings to oust Fitch, arcommissloner.
Whether this action would be commenced
In the district court or the supreme court
could not be learned. ,

Railroad Firemen's
Work Called Extra
Hazardous by Union
' CHICAGO, Jan. U The arduous and
dangerous nature of the work of the
railway firemen was 'dwelt upon today
by C. W. Hawley of the Insurance de
partment of the Brotherhood of loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen testify
ing before the western railroad wage
arbitration hearing here. The testimony
resulted in a spirited contest between W.
8. Carter, representing the firemen, and
-J -rv
James M. Sheean. attorney for the rail
roads. .Carter interrogating Hawley
brought out that the average railroad
service men to whom death claims are,
paid la seven years.
Mir can adduced that this ratio applies
only to those who die, or eight-tenths of
I per cent of the membership of the or
ganisation. Carter rme back with a
statement through Hawley that the work
of the firemen Is so arduous . that the
membership makes a complete change
every seven years. It was brought out.
however, that much of this is due to
promotion to engineers. Hawley admitted
that his tables-showrd the proportion of
death duea and disability benefits paid
to ex-englnrmen ws greater than that
paid to men remaining In the service.
'la it not a fart." asked Carter, "that
these -firemen wire men worn out In
tha-service of the railroads who were
strapped by the railroads and that their
deaths were due toovVr work or Inlurios
received while In the engine cab?"
' "Yes. that Is true," replied Hawley,
who explained that when a fireman re
sighed for lighter work and died later
while worklnaj aa a bookkeeper his death
would show in statistics among the
"others, not as an engineer."
