CHOLERA SERUM
LAW ISJELD VOID
State Supreme Court Rule That Act
Gives the Makers a Real
Monopoly.
LOSES SUIT AGAINST BEE
(From a Staff Corraapnndenl.
Lincoln, Neb., June 3. (Special
Telegram.) An opinion by the
supreme court thjs afternoon holds
the hog cholera serum law unconsti
tutional. The Omaha Pee wins the
case brought by R. B. Howell seek
ing to enjoin the publication of cer
tain articles.
In the case brought by Cusliman
Hall by the state for selling hog
cholera serum at Omaha the supreme
court holds the law unconstitutional
and reverses the Douglas county dis
trict court. The court holds Jthat the
law gives the manufacturers a monop
oly on the manufacture of serum.
Holding that there is no power In
the courts to prohibit by injunction
the publication of newspapers of al
leged misleading information, the
supreme court reverses and dismisses
the case brought by R. B. Howell
against the Omaha Bee in 1914.
Cites Constitution.
Judge Rose wrote the opinion. The
syllabus of the court is that:
"The publication of political matter
in a newspaper cannot be enjoined
merely because it is false or mislead
ing, such relief being forbidden by the
following constitutional provisions:
" 'Every person may freely speak,
write and publish on all subjects, be
ing responsible for the abuse of that
liberty; that in all trials for libel,
both civil and criminal, the truth
when published with good motives
and for justifiable end shall be suf
ficient defense.' "
The judgmeent of the Douglas
county district court is affirmed for
$8,750, secured by Francis A. Rankin
against the Elizabeth Kountze Real
Estate company for injuries received
while a tenant of the company be
cause of a defective threshold which
caused a nail to enter her heel, neces
sitating several operations and per
manent injury.
v May Add Omitted Property.
The Douglas County Board of
Equalization had the right since 190
to add ommitted property to the as
ressment list of an individual or in
crease the value of his property with
out complaint by a taxpayer, but the
owner of the propertyimust be noti
fied ot the proposed change, accord
ing to the supreme court in the case
of the Farmers' Co-operative Cream
ery company against Henry S. Mc-
JJonald, et al. The decision of the
Douglas county district court is af
firmed. COUNTY ATTORNEY COWAN
REPORTED CRITICALLY ILL
Tecumseh, Neb., June 3. (Special.)
County Attorney M. E. Cowan is
critically ill at his home in this city
and but little hope is held out for his
recovery. For several years he has
been a sufferer with locomotor ataxia
and yesterday he suffered a stroke
of paralysis. Up to this time he has
not regained consciousness. Besides
the afflictions mention, Mr. Cowan
has a kidney trouble and he has been
having uremic convulsions.
WOMEN NOT PERMITTED
TO WEAR HIGH HEELS
(Correpanjnc of tha Aaaoclat4 Praaa.)
Cologne, May 25. Disappointed
that both personal and official pleas
and warnings have had little or no af
fect, the Woman's Alliance of
Cologne and thirty-five associated
women's associations and organiza
tions have petitioned the governor of
the fortress to issue a decree forbid
ding the wearing of high-heeled shoes.
wide-flowing, short skirts and other
apparel that has been smuggled in
from countries at war with uermany
or that is patently a copy of foreign
mode and fashion.
"It shows a lack of patriotism and
is a disgrace tor German women,
says the petition in part, "that manv
of them go about in clothing which
by its striking, frivolous nature mocks
the earnest sentiment that rules
among the people at this time of
manifold need and severe personal
suffering" The petition declares that
luxury of a noticeable sort in clothing
is nothing but an insult to the un
fortunate, and is unworthy of the Ger
man wvman at this time.
'Since all the nlea of sensiblv
thinking people, as well as the offirial
cautions, have been without result,"
concludes the netitinn, "we ask the
governor to take steps aitamM the
above-name d evils."

OFFICIAL DETAILS
OF BIG SEA BATTLE
(Continued from Page One.)
enemy' battle cruisers and we have
their admission that they had lost
two battleships.
"The admiralty has a report of the
sinking of four German light cruisers
and the Germans have acknowledged
the loss of six destroyers. There is
good hope that the German loss is
even greater but we do not intend to
make any estimates until, we have
complete official, reports from our
commanders who do not report the
loss of antagonists without definite
evidence.
Zeppelins Not Inportant.
"Zeppelins did not play the import
ant part attributed to them. Only one
appeared. It remained in action a very
brief time, retiring under heavy fire,
evidently badly damaged. Weather
conditions were such that it is doubt
ful whether any air rtaft would have
been of much service.
"The enemy sprang no surprises.
We saw nothing of any 17-inch guns.
"The weather contritions were the
hardest bit of luck our Meet encount
ered, as may be Judged from the fol
lowing paragraph from the official
report 'Regret tnitsy weather of 31st
saved enemy from far more serve pun
ishment.' "From ' .the standpoint of actual
strength the navy's losses in person
nel, while great wa not serious as
we have plenty ot men to replace
them.
"With a fight like Wednesday's ac
tion occurring every day we could
stand the loss much better than the
Germans. Our battle fleet is still in
tact, while we still have considerably
more battle cruisers than the Ger
mans. It is interesting to note that
the sober estimates in the Reichstag
do not confirm the great victory so

STRIKERS GOING TO
HARVEST FIELDS
Many Have Gone Quite a Few Hav&
Returned to Work at In
creased Pay.
SOME JOBS AHE STILL IDLE
It. is estimated that a large per
centage of the building laborers who
struck some three weeks ago, have
now departed from O.naha for the
harvest fields in the south to begin
the movement northward with the
harvest. Many of the laborer: do this
every year, but work at building con
struction when the harvest season is
not on. Now that the strike has con
tinued a little longer than they at
first anticipated, many found it more
profitable to leave town and enter the
liarvest fields of the south. Those
who have families or homes here,
however, are still here and still strik-ng-
Here and there building jobs are
beginning work again, in most cases,
it is said, at an increased wage. Work
has been resumed on several jobs.
Kiewit & Son put some laborers to
work on the apartment, house job at
Thirty-third and Dodge. Selden
Breck are working a force of men
on the Sanford hotel Job, Some men
are working at the Blackstone Fam
ily hotel and at the r'ord hospital job.
No work is in progress on the new
Masonic temple, on the First Na
tional Hank building, and numerous
other jobs in the down-town district.
