The treasurer declined to pay the ‘ warrant upon its presentation, and the gov- ernor brings the matter to the attention of the supreme court The petition cites the law passed by the legisiature of 1901, and sets forth the fact tha designated date the governor pre- sunted a warrant for $10 to the treasurer drawn upon the general fund. He was 1n- formed that there was no money in the gen- eral fund with which the warrant could be - tonn paid. The governor thereupon demanded ‘ the payment of the warrant out of the idle ; money in the treasurer's hands belonging to the permanent school fund. The treasurer declined to so pay the warrants for the reasons set forth in the following letter, 1 is attached to and is made a part of pvernor's petition: 1 Liscory Chairman and I'u of the ¢ the governor attorney genor wh = _the rt'ey States His Rensons, Dec. 18.—To_Governor Crounse, st the Board of Educationsl Lands DrAR S1R—Scction 1, article viil istitution of the public tand tion of the bourd of cotmmis- sloners f strment of the school funds in such be prescribed by Inw.

Hyving asc tained these facts ivis then the duty of th commissioners under the law to direct the treasurer by resolution 1o purchase the wir- Arants. To do otherwise is to give the treasurer 4" a privilege which I do not think he is entitled to.

Your obedient sorvant, 1. 8. BARTLEY, State Treasurer. Filed a Demurrer. Assistant Attorney General Summers, who will conduct the case for the state treasurer in the supreme court, files a gen- eral demurrer to the peti.iou filed by Gov- ernor Crounse, in which he not only makes the customary allegation that the facts set forth in the petition are vot suflicient Lo con- Btitute a cause of action, but in which he also attacks the constitutionality of the law passed by the legislature in 1801, requiring the state treasurer to invest the school fund in state warrants. Thus the whole case will Yest upon constitutional grounds and the de- cision of the court will be a final solution of & controversy which involves many thou- ands of dollars belonging to the people of ;\'A'brnskn. The case grows out of a controversy which arose at 4 meeting of the Board of Educa- tional Lands and Funds on December 18, At that meecting Treasurer Bartley reported that he haa purchased nearly $100,000 worth of state warrants and he offered them to the board as an investment for the permanent Bchool fund. A lengthy discussion arose, in - which Governor Crouuse took the position that the treasurer did not require any au- thority from the Board of Educational Lands and Funds to purchase the warrants. =, After some furtber discussion it was deter- mined 1 submit the mutter 1o the supreme court. The suit is a frienaly one, arranged for the sole purpose of testing, first, the coustitutionality of the law, and second, the pource of authority under the law in case it s declared constitutional, Argued and Submitted, The test case commencea yesterday to decide the meaning of the words *‘current funds” in the stale depository law was wreued before the supreme court this fore- noon, Hon. J. C. Cowan of Omaha and Hon. J. W. Dawes of Crete appearing for the Misst Nationat bank of Crete, while Attorney General Hastings and Hon. J. A. Ames of this city represented the state treasurer. 1n Its argument the plaintiff assumed vhe ground thut the only question involved in the con- troversy at issue was the construction to be placed upon the words “current funds.” Cooley on *Constitutional Limitations" was quoted to show “that it was the duty of the court to uphold & statute when the conflict between it and the constitution 1s not clear, and the implication, which must always exist, that no violation has heen intended by nuire it in some cas the constitution is not favo RS mignt not at first seem natural. for, as a couflict between the statute and the constitution is not to be im- plied, it would seem to follow that the court. IT possible, must give the statute such a con- siruction as will enable it to have effect. ‘This is only saying in another form of woras that the court imust construe the statute in necordance with the legislative intent, since It is always 1o be sumed that the legisla- pure designed the law o take effect and uot to be a nullity. Three Poluts to Consider. It was argued by Messrs. Dawes that whea a doubtful j statutory law s presented for the consider- ation of the court there are three cardinal tests which wmay be applied to it in order to nsceriain the legislative intent. First, the | Inspection of the statute itself; second, the pquity of the statute; third, the comparison of the statutes upon the same subject mat- ter. The statutes should be interpreted in the most beneficial way which their lan- ihe safe, but that on the contrary they were Bistributed for deposit among ocertain It now sloners shi for the nves ton to Unite provides t in the legislature, may re- es, when the meaning of 1 doubt, 1o lean in of such a construction of the statutes obvious and pusge will permit, to provent abaurdity, uardship or injustice, to favor publio cont venience and o oppose all prejudice to pub- lic intorest. Taking up the argument upon the case specifically in point, the attorneys contended Lhat the existing evils which this law was Intended to correct were of long standing, and often either directly claimed the stten- Mon of thepublic. There had not been, up Lo the passage of this law, any act compell- Ing deposits of state funds in the banks of the stute. In theory these funds were sup- posed to be idle, locked up in the treasury vaults of the state. There was, however, in face of this theory or fiction, & goneral sus- picioa, not 1o say well founded belief, that ihese funds were not idie and that they were not locked in the treasury vaults of lavored bauks, and were yieldiug an income Wwhich did not iunure to the benefit of the state. The acts of a former state treasurer were prominently before the legislature in Mhis very connection. Intended to Protect Trust Funds.

E COURT RELIEF. sU. i) Little Chance for the Judges to Overtake the Growing Docket. LixcoLx, Jan. 18.—[Special to Tz Bee.]— Speaking of the article in Tne Bee of this morning concerning the overburdened con- dition of the supreme court docket, a gen- tleman who probably has as much business with the court as any other man in the state said that there were several reasons why the business of the supreme court had in- creased so rapidly in aska “In the first place," said he, “‘the tution fixes no limit upon the numb cases ch may be brought wo the co The amount invoived in the casa at 1ssue is not limited; the rules of the court do not require printed records, and do not _require parties to ask leave to file cases. In some states cases cannot be brought before the supreme court until the court itself gives pe ission. Such a rule in this state w d doubtless relieve the court of many of the cases now brought to its attention. If parties to suits were required to file printed records many cases involving small amounts of money would not be tiled, for the expense of printing the records would deter many. Under the present law -any case involving 1 the smallest amount money can be brought to the supreme court, and many ses which hardly deserve the serious attention of a justice court are often placed on the docke Court May Cateh Up. 1t is the opinion of a number of attorneys and officials connected with the court that with the uid of the commissiou the supreme court will catch up with the business. This opinion is not shared by a great many others, and many are of the opinion that some o tional relief must sooner or later be gr: the court. The counties of Douglas and | Lancaster alone supply about one-third of | the cases reviewed by the court. he last general docket contained about 1,500 cases. Of this number 3 originated in Douglas county and 186 in Lancast It has been suggested that the establishwent of an ap- pellate court for Douglas county would re- lieve the pressure, or even u general ap- pellate cot Missouri provides appellate courts for St. Louis and Kansas City. Illi- nois has a system of appeilate courts. Colo- rado has adonted the general appellate court system, while Ohio and California have two divisions of the supreme court, acting along lines very similar to the one adopted by the supreme court and the supreme court com- mission in Nebraska. In a conversavion with Tne BEr recently Justice Post of the Nebraska supreme court expressed himself very favorably to the com- mission. He believed the commission was of more value to the interests having business before the court than an increase in the membership of the main court, foi the rea- son that the vime of the court is largely taken up with the routine work of the regu- lar sessions, such as listening to arguments and passing upon motions. The commission is hampered by none of this routine work and is thus enabled to give its entire time to the consideration of cases placed in its hands by the supreme court. The operation of the law for nearly a year has convinced the court of the value of the commission. CONCLUDED WITH A BANQUET. Convention of Voluuteer Firemen's Associ- ation at Beatrioe Ended. BeaTrick, Jan. 18. —[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.] ~The third and last day of the twelfth annual convention of the Nebraska Volunteer Firemen's association has drawn to a close and the business of the convention is completed. The forenoon was taken up with routine work. A resolution was adopted calling for the appowtmeut of a com- mittee of five to formulate and present to the next legislature a petition asking an appropriation to be used for the support of indigent volunteer firemen, and it was de- ciaed to assess each member of the associa- tion 25 cents, thus creating a fund to be used iu paying expenses of presenting the matter to the legislature. The commitiee appointed is: John Wilson, Kearney; J. L. Miller, Red Cloud; D. C. Zink, Grand Island; J. C. Clel- and, Fremont, and L. W. Hauge, Minden. This afternoon department revorts were heard from the several cities and towns repre- sented. A report of the treasurer showed $112.68 on hand.

A banquet at the Paddock hotel tonight, where 200 plates were laid, fittingly closed one of the most successful and largely attended conventions ever held by the association. ©Cass County’ the Banks, PLATTsMOUTH, Jan. pecial to Tam Brr.|—Judge Chapman has decided that he cannot interfere 1n the county funds muddle so far as to grant an injunction restraining County Treasurer Eickhoff from drawing on the First National bank of Greenwood for the funds which it holds as depository for the county cash. The judge also holds that the Groenwood bank had a fair opportunity to bid, and in fact did bid; that in reality the socond bid filed by the Greenwood bank offering 6 ver cent for a part of the fund was not as good as the bid given by the Louisville bank of 455 per cent on all the funds: und last of all, that the contract en- tered iuto between the county treasurer and the Bank of Commerce of Louisville, where- by the latter was made the depository for tho funds, must stand. An appeal will be taken to the supreme court. The document on file is as follows: “First National Bunk of Greenwood vs. County of Cass, C. C. Eickhoff, County Treasurer, and Bauk of Commerce of Louisville. The tem- Dorary restraining order in this case is set asideand a motion for au injunction is- de- nied.” Osceola’s New Church.

The association has become ambitious and aspires to a perma- nent location with permanent buildings and well planned grounds.

Several projects are already being dis cassed in Lincoln. One of them includes a proposition from an association which pro- voses to use the present grounds, which ¢ convenient of uccess and well adaped to the purpose.

This money as never beep asked for by the State Board of Agriculture for the reason that it has not been needed. This year, however, the board needs the money and the Lincoln people will be asked to aucon the agreement for this ye ho bourd has never asked for the money for th son that it is well known that 1t would have to be paid by two or three indi- vidual members of the local association. Dr. . N. Gibsou Iujured. A serious, and perhaps fatal, accident oc- curred in the Burr block at 11 o'clock today that may lesd to the permavent disability of Dr. F. N. Gibson, one of the prominent physicians of Lincoln. Dr. Gibson was on the elevator with quite o number of otter gentlemen. The car was 1 charge of a young son of Hon. S. J. Alexander, who had been given charge during the temporary ab- sence of the regular elevator boy. A uumber of the passengers, including the doc wished to get off attbe, third fioor. The elevator was stopped about u foot from the level of the floor and one or two got off. Dr. Gibson started to step out and at that ine stant che elevator boy touched the lever. in- tending to bring the cage up 1o a level of the floor. The elevator went down suddenly instead of up, and tie top of the cage caught the doctor ou the shoulder. Before ne could extricate himself tne entire weight of the heavy cage was pressing upon him and it did not stop until his body was bent nearly double. He then fell out'on the fioor in an unconscious condition. Medical aid was summoned at once and the injured man taken into an adjoining oftice. Three or four physicians who came to his assistance pronounced his injuries of 4 serious nature. He was afterwards removed to his home on G street. He suffered severe injuries to the spine, and it is feared that there are also internal injuries. Tonight the | physicians in attendurce expressed a more | hopeful view of the case and they believe that the doctor will eventually recover.
