Attorney General Smyth today made pub- ant lic his report to Governor Poynter. In it he complains in bitter terms of the trials and tribulations of his office during the | last four years. He sald his term of office had been a stormy one. An attack against Judge Baker of the district court of Doug- las county occuples several pages of the report. Smyth accuses Judge Baker of violating the mandate of the supreme court in the Omaha National bank case and inti mates that his decisions have been influ- enced by prejudice, friendship or sympathy for the people of the bank. After this long attack, which amounts to a tirade of abuse, the attorney gencral says that inasmuch as there is a law prohibiting judges from practicing law there should be a law pro- hibiting judges from practicing politics He inaists that in many of the cases in which he represented the state he was pitted against from two to eight lawyers The civil suits prosecuted during his last term involved nearly $2,000,000, but on the Judgments recovered only $50,000 has been paid into the treasury. He recom- mends relief for the supreme court and an appropriation for house rent for the three judges, on condiiion that they make their home in this city Succensor > Lou May. vernor Poynter today appointed H. Hulff, editor of the Anzeiger of Nor- folk, for member of the State Fish com mission to #lll a vacancy caused by the ex- John piration of the term of W. L. May of Oma! The commission issued by the governor extends until January, 1903. The power of the governor to appoint employes for a term beyord his own administration has been seriously questioned, but in his defense it is urged by the fusionists that no appointment can be made for less than two years. Several important office been filled recently by the appointment of the governor and in all cases the com- misslons given extended for a period of two or more years. Regard It as a Fake. The police authorities have received an |anonymous communication concerning the attempt to rob the state treasury yesterday morning. The letter conveys the informa- tion that the men who intended to rob the treasury were concealed in the tenement house on Thirtieth street, to which the bloodhounds twice led the officers from the capitol building. Chief Hoagland said that 1t this letter had been signed he would have considered it as having some bearing on the case, but as it is anonymous In na- ture he pald no attention to it and would not follow the tip contained in dt. The aathorities look upon the affair as a fake and are making no effort to catch the sup- posed burglars. Calls for Bank Statement.
