THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1903. FOLLMER 1S NOT SATISFIED Not Disposed to Be Turned Down in the Boyd Oounty Cares. SOME HISTOR\' OF THE CONTROVERSY Time for Completion of New Cells at the Punitentiary Has Elapsed and No Work Has Yet Reen Do LINCOLN, Sept. 16.—(Special.)—The de- cision of Judge Westover at Butte yes- terday in the Boyd county land case, in which he denled the right of Land Com- missioner Follmer to retain counsel, grant- ing the attorney general the sole authority | to appear for the state, has by no means | pacified the land commissioner to allow Mr. Prout to handle the case alone, but 1t has served to somewhat complicate mat- ters and will eventually be the means of long and tedlous litigation. Attorneys Ryan and Murfin, who appeared for Mr. Follmer and were shut out by the court, were here today but are not yet ready to say what will be done by them. It is probable, howaver, that they will make another effort to get the cases in the fed- eral court. Judge Weatover, Attorney Gen- eral Prout and M. ¥. Harrington, attorney fot the séttlers, agreed to meet in Lincoln at some later date, at which meeting the attorneys will argue the case. Recently the Board of Educational Lands and Funds passed a resolution giving to Mr, Follmer the right to proceed in the cases as he saw fit, The next day, at the request of ‘Attorney Gereral Prout, the bocrd reseinded its former action and the records show that no further instructions were given to any one. ' Follmer and Mor« tensen have voted together and Governor Mickey, Prout and Marsh mv- stood to- gether. ‘When court- was called ye-urd-y. Mr. Follmer was there, represented by Robert Ryan and Oaptain E. J. Murfin, the set- tlers by M. ¥, Harrington, and the state by Attorney General Prout at the request of Governor- Mickey. The cases called wers those of Joseph Connot and Willlam Luedke who are trying to prevent, by Injunction, Mr. Follmar from leasipg school lands upon which they age settled. Some months ago the attorney ' general filed with the court a demurrer to the petition, but noth- ing had been done in the case. By rea- son that he alleged the petition was false, Follmer, , through his 'attorneys, filed an answer denying the truth of the petition, Yesterday Prout moved to strike out the answer on the grounds that he s the sole head of the legal ‘départment of the state, The answer was struck out. In the case of A. H. Blair and others agalnst Follmer and County Treasurer Brown of Boyd county, Follmer presented a petition for removal of cause to the United States ofreult court for reasens that thé giisstions Involved were federal matters. Aecompanyjng the petition was a bond for $2,000 signed by B, F, Knight, W. T. Auld, R B. Moore, Eugene Mynn, A. J. Bawyer, Judge J. H. Broady, Joseph W. Wolfe, 8. W. Burnham and J. L. Miller of Linceln and C. W. Cuff, M. P, Meholin and Ed G. Johnson of Butte. With this was also filed a power of attorney by Ryan and Murfin from Follmer and Brown to represent them. Prout moved-to strike out the power of attorney and the re- moval of petition from the files on grounds that he, as attorney general, was the only legal representative of the state. This mo- tion was upheld by the court and Ryan and Murfin were thrown out of the case. Previous to this, however, Mr. Har- rington had dismissed the case against| Follmer individually. This left..onl; e intorested: - e Agree on Procedure, In his speech in support of the motion of the ttorney general to throw out Folimer's attorneys, Harrington stated that he and Prout had reached an agreement whereby an amicable sult could be brought and the case settied by a sult of ejectment, which, he sald, was the only proper way to settle it. He sald that if Follmer was to have attorneys they may not agree with himself and Prout and he would have to continually hunt, theti! up and talk to them, which would bring about a state of anarchy. At a meeting of the board held October 25,,1901, a petition was presented by the holders of the land asking the state to accept other lands and grant them deeds to the lands In question. By the unanimous vote of the board it was decided to deny the petition inasmuch as the members de- cided that the land to be taken in transfer ‘was worthless compared with the land to be deeded, and it was not constitutional. At a meeting of the board held February 11, 1902, Prout moved the adoption of a res- olution that the state accept other lands. On this resolution Prout voted in the affirm- atlve and Follmer in the negative, Stuefer and Marsh falling to vote. Follmer then that as the question had been set- a former Muu that nothing fur- dope. This was not seconded. Then Prowt called up his resolution. He explained that If the board refused the pe- tition the settlers had no appeal. the vote stood Prout in the affirmative, Follmer negative. Marsh voted yes pro- ‘vided the matter be taken into the courts. Bteufer voted yes feeling that the state could appeal. Follmer held that the board had no power to grant the deeds except acdording to the constitution and that the action of the board was clearly unconstitu- tional. i { g use of Change, It is the known vi of the attorney general, as shown by the records, that made Follmer object to him representing the state in the case. In justice to Mr. Prout his change of opinion is explained by a statement that when he first looked into the case he belleved he was working under the law passed in 1901, granting the state the power to lssue the deeds. He held that this law was unconstitutional and the members of the board agree with him in that. He afterward found the law of 1881, and it was under this law he clalmed that the settlers were entitled to their deeds. This law is chapter @, article 1, section §, and it reads: Entry on State Lands by Mistake—That whenever any person has been allowed a Jomestead or pre-emption filing In any nited States land office In the state of N.hrulkl. supposing the land to belong to the United Btates or supposing the same o be orn to homestead or pre-emption tiemen| .u o of belng settled upon and tmproved’ before the survey having . made valuable '~ improvements therect, lor /any pérson having purchased the fling Of AnY sueh lands afterwards gscertaining that the said lands belong to the state of Nebraska, the person entitled uch lands shall be roqulM to make and Funds, under oath, &n" filing_ w; made in faith and or the purpoe of speculation and that he supposed t! thereof and | land belonged to the United States at the time he made the homestead and pre-emp- tion filing or purchased the said filing | In the office of the land commissioner it | 18 held that no Nilings were ever made. Ap- | peals to the Interfor depariment have been turned down in every instance. The land was known as the Fort Randall Indlan res- ervation and could not be thrown open for sottlement, and applications at the home land offices were turned down. George L. Loomis took his case to the Department of the Interfor and was turned down, which fact, the commissioner's office holds, places Prout in a pecullar light. Follmer's Position. The Boyd county land case Is one of the great problems of the state to rettle. The land is part of the Fort Randall Military reservation and was given to the siate for | 8chool lands and was accepted by the state. | All of the odd-numbered sections not ac- cepted by the state were opened to settle- by homestead entrymen. The last | report of Land Commissioner Follmer said: After the fling of the list of selections November 11, 187, Henry Blair ana some eighteen other parties attempted to file | ment ! homestead applications upon indemnity | school land seiections made by tne state on odd-numbered sections, all of which were rejected by the officers #f the United | Btates land office at O'Neill, for the reason that_the land belonged to the state of N braska under its grant and by reason of its { selection. They appealed from this dectsion to the commissioner of the general land office, who approved the decisions of the {local 'land office, and finally they appealed | from the decisiop of the Toner-l land office | to_the secretary of the Interior, with the | result that the decisions of the local land office and the general land office were sus- interior. No Work on Cells. The time for the comipletion of one-half of the cells at the penitentiary, for which the Board of Public Lands and Buildings | agreed to pay the Van Doren Iron works {of Cleveland 363,000, elapsed today and no cells are done. In fact, not a turn has been made and no member of the board seems to know anything about when the work will be dome. According to the terms of the contract, the contractors are to recelve $42 & cell for 156 cells, one-half of which are to be in place in four months and the other half in six months. After this time had elapsed the contractors were to pay to the state §10 a day for each day that the cells were not in place. The state of affairs at the penitentiary because of the absence of the cells and the cramped condition of the prisoners is get- | ting worse every day. "It makes diseipline aifficult,” sald Warden Beemer. “The men are kept m‘at?er far too much for the maintainance of proper conditions. In fact what we are obliged to do is to corrall them. Becuuse of flis there is always darger of the men trying to get away or A meeting of the board will be called soon 0, look into the matter.” Methodist Confer: The Methodist conference was well at- tended today at both the morning and after- noon sessions. Bishop Andrews opened the sesslon with prayer. The congregafion was made up mostly of men with a sprinkling of women. Rev. Bpencer of the Christian Advocate made a briet talk at the morning session in which he said that of the $97,- 000 recently raised for mission work, fully 90 per cent had been furnished by the west. The women held the fort at the afternoon session with thelr forelgn misslonary so- clety business. The committees for 1%8 announced this morning are: Leander Mortison, J. B Ry W. Royce, C. L.

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Sept. 16.—(Spe- clal)—Mrs. Samuel Chambers, 60 years of age. has boen examined and pronounced in- sane by the Board of Insanity. The patient returned from Oklahoma last Baturday evening, where she had been making her home with her husband and a daughter since last spring.

Herr Goebre, Pastor Bern- hardt and Heinrich Braun endeavored to detend themselves from Herr Bebel's thunderbolts, but only succeeded in com- promising their reputations for sincerity Franz Mehring, the celebrated historian of soclal democracy and a septugenarian, arose and resigned the editorship of the chief sclentific review of the party untll he has rehabilitated his character. Herr Bebel's inquisition into the char- acter and consistency of a large number of the younger revislonist writers brought the congress into a frame of mind far from friendly to the “academicians,” who were endeavoring to find admission into the party, conditional on passing a stringent moral examination, The roll call on a motion that the party's executive prevent members of the party from contributing to the “capitalist press’ resulted in Herren, Volimar, Heine, Auer and eighteen others voting agalnst it and 238 voting for the motion. Herr Bernsteln aroused a storm of mockery by refusing to vote. Herren, Bebel, Singer and Kautsky form- ulated tonight their resolution on the posed revision of the party program. The resolution condemns the proposition that the party accept a vice presidency of the Reichstdg and calls on the congress to disassoclate itselt from the “endeavors to replace the well-tried tactics and class consclous warfare of the proletariat against the capitalists by a policy of reconciliation with the existing order of things.” The consequence of such a policy, the resolution adds, would be to convert soclal democracy, which is revolutionary in the best sense of the term, since it aims at the transformation from a capitalist to a soclalist state into a party content with mere reforms, of the existing system. The resolution also Instructs the soclalist mem- bers of the Reichstag to employ thelr in- creased power ruthlessly in combatting militarism, naval increase, colonfal ex- pansion and the so-called world policy and to further political freedom and the in- terests of the working classes. Soclalism Barred from Army. BERLIN, Sept. 16—General Von Einem, the new minister for war, has issued a de- cree forbldding noncommissioned officers and privates from having in their posses- sion or distributing any revolutionary or soclalistic writings without the permission of higher authority, or singing sengs, ut- tering cries, giving expression to any so- clalistic sentiments or from attending any meeting, contributing money to, or belong- ing to any soclety without the permission of their officers. The decree concludes with citing the articies of the military code un- der which the offenders will be tried. CORN NOT BADLY DAMAGED (Continued from First Page.) weather are needed to ripen the corn crop. ‘With such a condition staring us in the face the situation is very grive.” The skies cleared ovet most of Towa to- night with falling temperature. Frost is expected in all but the southeastern and part of the eastern section. Killing frosts are expected only in ‘the northwestern quarter. It is cloudy at Burlington. CRESTON, Ia., Sept. 16.—(Special Tele- gram.)—A heavy frost fell here last night and the thermometer dropped to within twelve degrees of freezing, but there was no damage to growing crops, save the little that was done to the more tender garden truck, as tomatoes and cucumbers. The sky was overcast with clouds until after midnight and -the frost disappeared early in the morning. BURLINGTON, Ia., Sept. 16.—(Special Telegram.)—With a temperature of 46 above zero, southwestern Iowa and the adjacent portion of Illinols has as yet escaped a killing frost. A heavy bank of clouds covers the sky and, it 1s belleved, will prevent frost tonight. ¥rost Helps South Dakota Corn, ABERDEEN, 8. D., Sept. 16.—(Special Tele- gram.)—A heavy frost last night was fol- lowed by rain this morning. Little if any damage was done to corn which was mostly out of danger. It will probably benefit late corn by stopping growth. All early corn 1s safe and condidergble harvested. HURON, 8. D., Sept. 16.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Fully three-fourths of the corn crop of the state Is beyond injury by frost and last night's frost damaged only late planting.

D., Sept. 16.—(Speclal Tel- egram.)—The first frost of the season oc- curred here, last night. Little damage was done to the corn as it was well out of the way. Some corn planted late in the season will be injured quite severely. Snow in Colorade. ELDORADO, Colo., Sept. 16.—It has been snowing here since Sunday night, and a number of the mountain trafls and gulches are almost impassible. In Berthoud Pass there is over two and one-half feet of snow. The heavy fall at this time of the year is very uncommon. PUEBLO, Colo,, Sept. 16.—A heavy frost this morning ended a streak of unseason- able weather, which has retarded the open- ing of the Colorado state fair. Today it Is bright and clear. The frost cut short by two weeks the ex- tensive melon industry of the Arkansas valley, already shortened by the lateness of spring. DENVER, Sept. 16—A severe frost and freeze last night in this vicinity and throughout the agricultural district of northern Colorado caused much damage to all crops except sugar beets. Potato buyers at Greeley estimate that the potato crop will be diminished by 1,000 car loads. Condjtious in Missourt. ST. JOBEPH, Mo., Sept. 18.—No rain, no wind and clear skies are conditions in northern Missouri late tonight. It is be- lieved that a heavy frost has nipped vege- tation badly and that late corn will be a severe sufferer. Temperature in northern countles ranges from 38 to 4. Frost Likely in Kansas. KANSAS OITY, Sept. 16—The weather tonight in eastern and central Kansas Is tavorable to a frost—clear and without wind. _In Kansas City the temperature is higher than last night, when there was no frost here. Topeka reports that a kill- Ing frost is expected and other points in Kansas and western Missouri express the same belief, but it is not known that there has actually been frost. Last night's frost in Kansas visited the northern tier of counties from Concordia west, increasing in severity from east to west.

It From the Burlington, Northwestern and Union ‘Pacifie railroad headquarters come reports of a general frost over the state Tuesday night, but not aver a fourth of the corn crop damaged. The reports which are sent in by the raflroads agent tell of only slight damage, taken as a whole, to corn. The northwestern part of the state suf- fered the most, and the temperature was as low as 24 at Curtls. From Minden to McCook, a_very heavy frost was evident yesterday morning, with a clear sky and stift wind. Practically no frost of any conse- quence fell along the Wyoming division of the Burlington, and Indications are for warmer weather. Along the northern di- vision, the thermometer registered 27 at Burwell, and the heavy frost fell through this territory. West of North Platte, on the Union Pacific, the frost was thick, but from North Platte to Grand Island, none was evident, although the sky was clear and a good breeze was blowing. The temperature ran from 24 to 5 at va- rious points In the state, and the western halt had a clear sky, with very cold weather, while in the eastern half the sky was partially cloudy with very little breeze Up along the Wyoming and Nebraska di vision of the Northwestern the farmers are not alarmed over the frost, as most of the corn {s beyond hurt, and what little was nipped is in the lowlands. It s estimated that not over 25 per cent of the crop is damaged, and this is to a very little extent. The heaviest of the frost seems to have been to the north of the corn belt, and that which did occur in the territory where the most corn is grown was light and of no serious nature, The corn is so far advanced that the light frost will not hurt it any, but may do it some. good. Rain is reported in several places in the state, turning to snow toward morning, but the, fall is very light. No serlous results are feared from the frost, as, al- though it was general, the crop was strong enough to withstand it. Interest and anxiety over the crop con- ditions yesterday were intense, being reflected nowhere in Omaha as much as tn the Board of Trade, where all were out early to get the right tip. The effect was prompt and apparent in the pool. Al though steady Tuesday the corn market began to tremble at once and started up with the first bids. Shortly after noon it was about 1% cents up and holding with a strong grasp, which grain men sald war- ranted a still greater rise, the patient was tive tisfactory.” decision had been reached as against the necessity of such a step.
