in Nebraska Court
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Feb.' 3. (Special.)-Attorney
General Clarence A. Davis,
profiting by what befell the attack
on the Burleson telephone rate case
in an Indiana federal court when
the judge dismissed an injunction
sought by the state commission on
the ground that no federal question
was involved, is planning to bring an
injunction proceeding in the Nebras
ka supreme court.
Suit has already been filed by the
Nebraska Railway commission in the
federal court here, following the
some procedure as was taken in' In
diana in the state's attack on the
rates. The case has been submitted
to Federal Jjidges Wade of Iowa nd
Munger of Lincoln, but pending the
filing of briefs no ruling has been
made.
The attorney general is under
stood to have arrived at the conclus
ion that the state courts have juris
diction and that remedy may be
found there.

After deliberating, for 27 contin
uous hours, a jury in the case of An
drew Danielski against William E.
Martin, et al., disagreed and were dis
charged by the court. Whether the
owner of a car can be held responsi
ble if his machine figures in a smash

other person to whom he had loaned
it, was the interesting question in
volved in a $10,000 damage suit be
ing tried in the Platte county dis
trict court.
The defendants testified that a rut
in the road caused the motorcycle to
swerve in front of the auto and that
as far as they were concerned the

GREEN BILL TO
FR0V1DE CHANGE
ABOUTJLIENS
Measure to Be Introduced
Soon in Lower House to
, Make Law Conform to '
New Amendment.
From a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Feb: 3. (Special.) Al
though 472 bills have been intro
duced in the legislature, not one
carries provision for making effec
tive the constitutional amendment
adopted by the people last Novem
ber to deprive aliens of the voting
privilege. The omission is to be
rectified by Representative J. Reid
Green of Lancaster county, who is
having a bill drawn up to cover the
new situation.'
While the constitution as amend
ed now provides that no person
shall be entitled to vote unless he
either is a native-born or a fully
naturalized citizen of the United
States, the law which relates to
challenging voters has not been
changed. It S still specifies that if
a voter is challenged on grounds
of citizenship the election judges
shall inquire of him under oatH
whether he has "declared his inten
tion of becoming a citizen," and if
he answers this question in the af
firmative the judges are not author
ized to go any further;
The Green bill will change the
reading of the statute so as to re
quire the challenged voter to say
whether he is a citizen of the Uni
ted States, and if a naturalized cit
izen to state when and where he
received his final papers.

Dr. Fast Believe in
Sterilization as Cure
for Feeble Mindedness
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Feb. 3 (Special.) Most,
if not all of the wards in Nebras
ka's IS state institutions, are men
tally defective and it is important
that more attention should be paid
to the mental condition of men or
women before their parole or dis
charge from prisons. Dr. W. S. Fast,
superintendent of the Ingleside hos
pital at Hastings, told the Nebraska
conference of social workers at the
session today at the Lindell hotel.
Fifty per cent of the boys and
girls in the state industrial schools
and 50 per cent of prisoners in peni
tentiaries are mentally defective, Dr.
Fast declared. If Nebraska feeble
minded should be sterilized, segre
gated and totally isolated for. three
generations the state would be free
of feeble-mindedness, the superin
tendent said.
Miss Lena Ward, superintendent
qf the Milfo'rd home for girls, spoke
on the subject, "Nebraska's Care of
Unfortunate Women." -
The conference opened Sunday
evening with addresses at four dif
ferent churches. The principal
speakers were Amos Butler of In
dianapolis and Warden Codding of
the Kansas state penitentiary.
