Appeal From Oakland. The opinion was on an appeal by the Oakland, Neb. State bank from a petition of intervention in the Decatur bank case, refused admis sion into the courts by the Burt county district court. Some time ago the supreme court O. K.'d the action of the state bank ing board in refusing to consider lams' claim in the preferred class of depositors, to be reimbursed from the guaranty fund, but merely as a loan to the bank, because he was getting 6 per cent on his money, while under the law banks cannot pay over 5 per cent. lams died recently, leaving his $400,000 estate to his private secre tary, Helen" Picklers. In his will he directed that a large monument to himself, on horseback, be erected at Winner, S. D., his former home. He was a prominent horseman of Ne braska. Car Case Reversed. The supreme court has reversed and remanded the $4,400 damage judgment secured by Lou'sa Mentz against the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company, because the Douglas county district court erred in refusing to instruct the jury that if the street car men were ex ercising due diligence when Fritz Mentz was jolted in the car, a ver dict should be found for the street car company.

(Special.) The navy will not release all the young men who desire to return to civilian life until the soldiers are returned from France. This is the reply -f Secretary Daniels to the letter of Governor McKelvie, who asked the co-operation of the department in obtaininy early release of Nebraska men who are needed on the farms. "We have released now about 125, 000 and we are releasing them as fast as we can do so without im pairment of the service. I hope that within a comparatively short time we may be able to release all young men who desire it. We could have made releases earlier, but the neces sity of manning the ships, which are bringing back the soldiers Jrom France, requires us to keep many young men who wish to get out cf the service," Secretary Daniels ad vises the. governor. Governor McKelvie did not see Secretary Daniels on his recent trip to Washington. The governor, in his letter, explained that he was not urging the release of men on an oc cupational basis, but felt that with an industry so important as farm ing, "it would he highly important that those who will have employ ment in that industry upon their re turn, should be released, instead of those who will be without employ ment when they are released."
