S MOTION ON SCOTT’S ORDERS, Other Judges Callod In to Take a Hand— News of the Courts, Arguments were made In a case be- fore Judge Ferguson yesterday the ob- ject of which was to show that Judge Scott has no authority to pass upon the legal and judiclal business of the entire district, The motion grows out of Scott's orders in the case of the creditors against the Heyn Photo Supply company. Some time ago the place was closed on a mortgage and then some of the creditors applied to Scott for the appointment of a receiver. The application was granted and ex-Deputy Sherift John Lewls was placed in charge of the store and stock. Since that time Scott has gone on issuing ex-parte orders to the receiver with- out giving notice to any of the creditors or other parties interested in the case, Attorneys for the creditors applied to Judge Ferguson for an order requiring the receiver to report only to an equity judge and to recelve orders only from a judge of the equity court. The motion recites that the matier Is purely one of equity and that Scott had and has no authority to act In the case, Nelther Geta the Child. Judge Ferguson has decided the Page divorce case. Both Page and his wife were after a decree of sparation and each wanted the cus- tody of the child, a boy, the result of a most unhappy matrimonial venture. It was devel- oped during the trial that (he marriage was consummated without the formality of a li- cense or a minister's services and that for years both the man and woman have been irying to see which could commit the widest breach of the marriage obligations. Judge Ferguson decided that the union was a mar- riage at common law and that nelther of the parties should have a divorce. He held that neither Page nor his wife was fit to have the child and ordered it given into the cus- tody of relatives in Iowa. Court Notes.

It had long been an- ticipated, and so far as the diocese of Omaha was concerned it would have but little sig= nificance. While the Catholics had not been previously interdicted from Joining these so- cieties, it as well understood that such a course was not approved by the church, and few it any good Catholics had ever cone nected themselves with any of the socles ties. Among the 62,000 Catholics in this diocese Rev. Colaneri believed that less than fifty were members of any of the societles, The chief obfection to the socleties was on ccount of the ritualisti¢ ser e, which had been obnoxious to the heads of the church. But the decrce was not to be in= terpreted as antagonistic to thess socletie It was very different from the opposition of the church to the Masons and was simply a command to the church to let them alone. In his opinion there was no doubt but that the order would be implicitly obeyed. Any member of the church who refused to sepa- rate himself from any of the objectionable socleties of which he was a member would be denied the sacrament, but he would be readmitted to the church’ at any time when he decided to obey the decree, The decree is now in the hands of the bishops, but the clergy have had no official notice of its arrival. Within a reasonable time it will be read from all the altars and its provisions will be rigidly enforced. Artists' suppiies, A. Hospe, 1513 Douglas. M.
