THE

High Court Decrees Expense of Three Years' Legal
Action Totaling $2,000 Must-Be : Met by ; '
Antis ; Mesdames Barkley aria
Sumney Rejoice.
Somewhere in Nebraska there are
some men and women who opposed
women's, suffrage.
And somehow, despite the famous
financial famine,, these "antis" must
dig deep, into their pockets and pro
duce $2,000. '
Fpr the supreme court has just de
cided the enemiej of votes for wom
en must' pay( the costs of court pro
ceedures. extending over about three
years' time. ;
This decision came as a blow to
the "antis," for they had just asked
for a rehearing to determine' who
should stand the expense of the case,
which is widely known as "Barkley
against Pool." A
-- When, back in 1917 the state legis
lature granted to fairer portion , of
the state's population the right to
vote for president and in municipal
elections, the "antis" got busy. They
circulated, petitions and at last pre
sented them, with some 32,000 signa
tures, to Secretary of State Pool.
"Antis Vanquished.
' Realizing (hat here indeed was a
matter that needed consideration the
Nebraska Woman's Suffrage asso
ciation leaped into action, investi
gated the petitions and declared to
the wide, wide world that most of
the signatures had been written by
about three men,, that most of the
genuine i signatures were obtained by
lining aigucis nicy wcic b9kiii
for the return of beer, and in short
asserted the whole thing was a
large, huge and colossal fraud.
Forthwith they brought suit
against Mr. Pool, asking an injunc
tion to prevent the issue from being
placed -on thex ballot for referendum.
Moreover the association won in dis
trict court and likewise in. the state
supreme court.
Thus defeated, whipped and van
quished,he "antis," led by John L.
Webster, Omaha atforney, took up
the matter of who was to pay the
"bad news" of all this litigation. But
again the supreme court turned a
deaf ear to their pleadings. They
lost, therefore they must pay ,the
costs, it ruled. r- '
-Some time in December the
"antis" asked for a rehearing on the
cost matter. F., A. Brogan, attorneys

Lawyers File Brief With Sen

" Probing Work of Depart-.

Washington, -Jan. 19. Another
step in the investigation by congress
of the '.legality, of the socalled "red
raids," conducted last year by Attor
ney General Palmer, was talcen by
the filing of a brief with the senate
ludiciarv .- committee - before, which
Attorney General ' Palmer will ap
pear today. -
The b'rief is signed by the 12 law
yers who mad public last summer
a report charging "illegal practices,
cruelty a.nd persecution" oiv the" 'part
of the officers and agents of the
Department of ustice. It was
filed by Judson King, executive sec
retary of the National Pdpitlar Gov
ernment leaguer which published the
original report. j . ' ..
These lawyers flatly 'reject' . At
tory General Palmer's interpretation
of the .law, 'charge him, with side
stepping conclusive evidence and re
fuse to budge from their original
position, either as to law or fact,
notwithstanding that Mr. Palmer, in
his reply to them before the hcuse
rules committee, called their charges
"undoubted falsehoods."
The brief concludes with strong
recommendations to the senate judi
ciary committee thoroughly' to in
vestigate their charge arid Palmer's
official conduct. It warns the com
mittee that Mr. Palmer in his famous
raids, not only deprived aliens oi
their legtl rights, but that "thousands
of American citizens were put to
the same treatment as aliens until
it was affirmatively proved by them
that they were citizens. i
