THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, DEFEAT FREE HICH SCHOOLS Not » Oonnty in the Btate Votes in Favor of Them at Bpring Elections. PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND PROPOSITION Judge Frost Dec of Public L Has Direct Control of Saline Lands, (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 5.—(Special.)—The free High echool attendance proposition for country schools has again been defeated in nearly every county in the state—in fact, 1o county bas been heard from where it was not defeated. Last year the proposition ‘was submitted In nearly all counties where it could be adopted and defeated in all ‘but Douglas. ““The school people of the state will soon begin to realize that although the cities and villares of the state are often too ambi- tious to bulld up high schools with two, three and four-year courses, the people of the rural communities, the farmers and ranchmen, desire no lot or share in them,” sald Superintendent Fowler, commenting upon the defeat of the proposition. “The adjunct district proposition, however, Is still largely misunderstood. It carried in Douglas county a year ago and no high #chools have been erected there, nor will there be. The independent rural school dis- tricts are unaffected and will continue to be. No bonds have been voted and none are necessary. The adjunct district has no officers, no organization, no school houses, 8o bonds. It simply opens up the existing bigh schools in the cities and villages to the graduates of the country schools and their tuition is paid by a county levy of 1 or 2 mills. The country school district femain the same, each self-governing, with & board of three members, whether the county has an adjunct district for high school purposes or not.” Control of Saline Lands. A decree was glven In the district court today sustaining the law which gives the Btate Board of Public Lands and Build- Ings direct control of the saline lands of the state. The validity of the act has long been in dispute, but so far as known has never before been passed upon in court. The decision is by Judge Frost. The enabling act of congress, passed in 1863, provided that all salt springs in te, not exceeding twelve in num- with six sections of land adjoining contiguous as may be to each, should be granted to the state for its use and when selected by the governor were to be d or disposed of on such terms as tho legislature might direct, and that tho Board of Public Lands and Buildings should have charge of the leasing and sale of the lands. 8. W. Burnham of this city held a con- tract with the board for the sale of one plece of land and the lease of another. The Board of Educational Lands agd Funds declared the contract forfeited. The con- filct was between the enabling act and the constitution. The former provided that the lands should be disposed of as directed by the legislature and the constitution provided that the permanent school fund should be made up, among other things, of the proceeds of all lands that might be granted to the state, where by the terms and conditions of such grant they were not otherwise appropriated. Judge Frost held that the words ‘‘not otherw! appropri- ated,” made a distinction in favor of the law in question and so held. The nominees of the Lancaster county republican convention this afternoon took the preliminary step of their campaign by electing officers for the central commit- tee. Those chosen are: John H. Stewart, chairman; Walter P. Dawson, secretary, and Luther P. Ludden, treasurer. Mr. Dawson was re-elected, but the others are new officlals. Headquarters will soon be opened. The first work will be in the organization of the precinct workers. All the offices at the statehouse were closed by Acting Governor Steele this aft- ernoon in respect to the late H. C. Rus- sell, ex-commissioner of public lands and bulldin, whose funeral took place today in Schuyler. A delegation of Grand Army men of this city went to Schuyler this morning to attend the funeral.

DOUBT ARISES CONCERNING THE RULE Regrets that Similar Action Was Not Taken Years Ago and the Matter® at Issue Determined by the Court. (Frcm a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, July 5.—(Special Telegram.) —In a brief prepared to be filed in the su- preme court in behalf of the State Board of Equalization in the mandamus case insti- tuted by The Bee Bullding company, At- torney General Frout boldly declared that in his opinion there is no doubt that the rallroad franchiso is assessable, that It is propertyrand property of value. He calls attention to the two questions at Issue, whether the franchise is assessable and how its value shall be determined. “'As to the second question there is grave doubt as to the rule,” says he. “The doubt arises from the difficulty in separating the value of a car from the right to use it for rallroad purposes, provided this court should bold the franchise & separate item for taxation. On this question there is notbing to -be added to the legal reasons and authorities presented by counsel for the relators and the numerous friends of the court.” The attorney general refers to the ecriti- clsm of the action of the board in flling two contradictory answers in the case and adds: “To the tirade of counsel we reply that this honorable court will settle the questions involved in its usual way, along lines of legal jurisprudence, ungoaded and unimpeded. It is to be regretted that such an action was not begun years ago. It in- volves valuable rights and the public wel fare demands a judiclal pronouncement de- fining the duties and powers of the Sta Board of Equalization.” HALL'S SLAYER AT LARGE Madison Murderer bt t Yet Captured d Gullty by Coroner's ury. MADISON, Neb., July 5.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The postmortem examination of the body of Charles Hall, who was murdered here yesterday, was made this morning at 2 o'clock by Coroner McMahon of Newman Grove and Dr. Smart of this city, and dis- closed that the bullet entered Hall's right side immediately above the right lobe of the liver, passing completely through that lobe. The bullet was deflected by the sev- enth rib and pursued a downward and backward course, lodging between the first and second lumbar vertebrae. The inquest was held this morning at 11 o'clock and elght witnesses were examined. The verdict is to the effect that Hall came to’his death by a bullet wound from & pls- tol in the hands of J. W. Alexander, with murderous intent. Hall's murderer 1s still at large, though the sheriff and chief of police went in eearch of him immediately after the shooting last night. He stopped at the farm home of O. S. Christlan, where be bad been gmployed, and was followed up a few minutes later by the sheriff, but he made his escape in the dark.
