ENTERS IN SUPREME COURT People All Over the Btate Anxious Over FPinal Decision on Bevenue Law. OTHER ATTACKS ON IT ARE PLANNED One of Commisstoners Intimates That Weak ra Measure | in Several Provisions Not d Upon in Opinion Handed Down. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. .—(8pecial )—The all- absorbing topic throughout Nebraska, as evidenced iy the reports recelved here, is the opinions of the three supreme court commissioners before whom the revenue law case was heard, heretofore for the sup in the opinion of the commission, but this case the conelusions are so radically different that it is fmpossible to forecast what the court will do. That the law Is not only faulty in the Insurance sections as agreed upon by two of the commission- ers-Duffie and Letton—but in other sec- tions as well, thers Is no doubt. Judge Letton intimated as much in his opinion and in conversation. This commissioner sid that the commission had tried the case upon the questions raised by the at- torneys opposed to the law, and that alone, which “Is not saying that the law cannot be attacked upon other sections.” This clearly Indicates that should the attempt be made section by sectlon to knock out the law, barely the framework would be left 8hould the majority verdict be sustained by the court, in that the insurance sec- tions are invalid, then would the question bo raised whether the insurance sections in the old law would be in effect. Legal au- thorities differ on this, some claiming that as the old law was repealed by the new law there would be no way in which to tax nsurance companles until the legislature made an entire new provision however, claim that the old law In this respect would hold good. This; then, would be a question upon which the court would have to pass. S8hould the court hold with Judge Duffie, then would come the ques- tion whether the taxing machinery was not knocked out because in a separate act of the late legislature a provision is made for the election of county assessors, repealing the same time the law requiring the election of precinct assessors. That would be another matter that would have to run its course in the courts. Should the court sustaln Commissioner Kirkpatrick in~ declaring the entire law valid, then other suits would be started on an entirely different line of attack, though one upon which the court has already ruled ~the validity of the rule for the taxation of rallroads. Another Suit Threatened. An influential farmer from out in the #tate, who was here this morning, said: “If the entire law is declared constitu- tional, it is my intention to bring suit to compel the rallroad taxation for municipal purposes and for county purposes to be made by the city and the precinct assess- ors. I belleve this act is invalid iIn that it is not in accordance with the plan of taxation of individuals and other corpo tions, and upon that ground 1 would like to carry the case to the supreme court of the United States. There is no more rea- son why a rallroad should not be assessed upon its property in a city by the city as- sessor than there is why a citizen shouid not pay taxes on his house or barn. A rail- d track runa right by my lot. The assessor assesses my lot, but he hms thing to do with that railroad. That is not right, and I wduld like to see the mat- ar taken up again.'' . the meatime it is beginning to look as though the representatives and senators ‘will have another sojourn at Lincoln. Gov- ernor Mickey, of course, will not be quoted at this time about the calling of an extra sossion. Ha belleves in crossing the bridge when it is reached and therefore will have pothing to say until after the supreme oourt has acted. He Is alive to the propo- sition and those who stand close to him say that when the supreme court does act the governor will do what he thinks is right for the best Interests of the state without regard to the demands of any cor- poration or set of men, using his own good Judgment in the matter. And while all this is happening Attorpey Breckenridge for the relators in the case has filed his first brief with the clerk of the supreme court. This he did this after- neon. The reply to this is pot expected for some days and when it does come it 18 expected to be & bulky affair.

While sitting beside his wife in a spring wagon driving to town about 2 o'clock this afternoon James Lowny, a farmer, strug- gling with his frightened horses to prevent them from running away, dropped dead of heart diseuse. The man suddenly dropped the lines, his frame shivered for a second and he fell over in his seat against his wife. Mrs. Lowny quickly put one arm around her husband and with the other grabbed the lines. With the assistance of her two daughters, who were in the back seat of the wagon, she stopped the team. At this time she supposed her husband had merely fainted. A passing man was called and helped the woman carry the sclous farmer into a house. Dr. MacCleod | was ca'led and sald death was the result | of heart disease Lowny, his wife and two grown daugh- ters had driven from their home, thirteen miles south of here, to do their Thanks- glving shopping. As they were driving up Ninth street near A the team became frightened at the city's steam roller and tried to run. It was just aboul the time Mr. Lowny got them quleted that he died. He was 63 years of age and leaves a widow and twelve children. His family has re- sided In its present home for the last twe: ty-two years. The remains were taken back to the farm late (his afternoon. Teachers Ask Questions. Since a mandate was issued by the su- preme court directing the teacher of the echool In district No. 21 In Gage county to desist from reading the Bible and sing- ing religious hymns In school, the office of the state superintendent has been de- luged with Inquiries regarding the recent Bible case decision by the supreme court. From the number of these every school teacher In the state is evidently an em- bryo preacher. The mandate issued refers only to the particular district in which the controversy occurred. In any other school district in the state the teacher may read the Bible and sing religious songs to her or his heart’s content, provided it is done without comment or in the interest of any denomi- nation or sect. The only way the teacher may be prevented from doing this is by taking the matter to the courts, for in each district the case will have to be heard on its individual merits. The opin- ion In the Gage county case does not cover the state. At loast that is what Super- intendent Fowler sald, and he supports it by quoting this from the syllabus of the opinion: 7. The law does not forbid the use of the Bible in the public schools; it is not pro- scribed either by the constitution or tie statutes, and the courts have no righ: to declare ifs use to be unlawful because it i« possible or probable that those who are rivileged to use it will misuse the pri foge by wttempting to propagate their own pecullar theological or ecclesiastical views and opinions. 10. 1t will not be presumed in any case that the law has been violated: every al- leged violation must be established by competent proof. At a meeting of the State Printing board this afternoon the request of Labor Com- missioner Bush for an appropriation for the printing of 30,000 maps of the state was turned down. The board held there was no law authorizing such proceedings and further there was no money avallable even If the law was agreeable w H: tant Boy Swallows FPolson.

FRIENDS INSIST SHE HAS BEEN KIDNAPED YORK, Neb., Nov. 24.—(Special)-The farmers of Arborville township in this county are very much excited over the disappearance of Miss Heulah Thomns, who is supposed to have been kidnaped on Sunday night at about 8 o'clock. Miss Thomas is 16 years of age and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 8. A. Thomas, well-to-do Ville About six months ago John tarmer who has lived In Arborville ship for the past twenty was ar- rested and charged with committing statu- tory assault and Miss Thomas Is the prose- cuting witness. The trial was to come off at the November term of court. Owing to the prominence of the parties concerned, there was considerable inter- st taken and the farmers of this township have taken sides. A large number took sides with the young woman, who has al- ways borne a good reputation and whose | parents are highly respected in the com- munity. | The defendant, John Blair, has never been mixed up in an affair of this kind before and it was a surprise to the community when they learned of his arrest. Mr. and | Mrs. Thomas belleve that thelr daughter, Beulah Thomas, was kidnaped, and al- though they have no direct evidende that | she was kidnaped, Mr. Thomas belleves | she was taken away by parties concerned | in the trial, which comes up this month Miss Thomas stepped out of her home at about ¥ o'clock on Sunday evening, and from that time on the parents have been unable to find any trace or a clue of her. | The fact that she left home without any wraps, and made no preparation to leave lends the parents to think that she has been kidnaped John Blair and town- years, others Interested deny that they had anything to do with the disappearance of the young woman and are at a loss to know how she disappeared. Mr. Thomas telegraphed for blood hounds and this morning Dr. Fulton's dogs from Beatrice arrived and two attempts were made to get them on the trail of the young woman, but so far the dogs would not work. Kvery effort will be made to find the young woman.
