LUETGERT'S DEFENDERS.
Endeavor to Fix Insanity In His
Wife's Family.

VINES Eam1ly.
Chicago, Dec. 25.-The attorneys for
Adolph L. Luetgert have received a re-
port from the superintendent of the in
sane asylum at Pueblo, Colo, on the
mental condition of Herman Bick-
nesse the brother of Louisa Luetgert,
who disappeared 20 years ago, and who
was discovered recently locked up in
the Colorado asylum. The defense will
endeavor to put this document in evil
dence, and if the court refuses to adj
nit it, the superintendent of the asy-
lum himself will be brought here to
testify.
According to the report the mental
alteration of Mrs. Luetgerts brother
was brought on by excessive drinking,
rather than an inherited trait, al
though, in the opinion of the superin-
tendent, he says d tendency toward in
sanity might have been inherited. He
left Chicago 20 wears ago, after his
wife had secured q divorce on account
of his dubious habits It was on ac-
count of the latter, it is said, that no
effort was made to trace him by the
rest of the family. 1t was known that
he had gone west and nothing was
heard from him until the defense re-
ceived word from the Colorado asylum
that Bicknesse had been there at diff
ferent times for ten years.

MUDDLES OF CIVIL SERVICE
PRESIDENTS ORDER OF NC
FORCE OR EFFECT IN Law.
Decision Handed Down By Judge
Rogers of the Federal Court of
Arkansas-Important to sPartisans

Fort Smith, Ark, Dec. 25.-Judge
John II. Rogers. of the federal court,
handed down an important decision in
a case Involving the construction of q
civil service law
1t was in the case of w ]. Fleming
VS.. S. F. Stahl. Fleming was an office
deputy under eX-Marshal j. c. Crump.
Stahl was appointed by President Nc
Kinley TO succeed CruTnp, and under
took to remove Fleming, when the lat
ter brought suit against Stahl to re-
strain him from making the removal,
alleging in his bill that the position
which. by order of President Cleye-
land, placed upon the qualified service
list, and that by virtue of such order
all office deputy marshals were exempt
from removal for political and religious
reasons, and we're to hold Office during
good behavior, and that his removal
was about to be made because he was a
Democrat.
A temporary restraining order was
granted by the court at the time of the
fling Of the bill. and I'D to this time
Fleming and Stotts, the man appointed
by Stahl TO succeed him, have both
been at the desk in the office.
The decision was rendered on a de-
murrer to the bill, and a motion to
dissolve the injunction. The court held
that it had no jurisdiction to restrain
q removal upon the facts stated in the
bill In regard to the effect of the or
der OF the president, by which deputy
lnarshals were placed in the classified
civil service, the court said:
1.-The civil service law never contem-
plated that the president, or the COM
mission, or both, could make any rule
or regulation which could have the
force and effect of law. True, the pres
ident may make rules and regulations
administrative in their nature, which
would govern the policy of his admin
istration, and he could enforce the
same by the removal of any person
from Office who refused to abide there
by, but they could not have the force
and effect of law, nor would the courts
enforce them. Such rules and, regula-
lions are purely administrative, and
nay be altered, amended or approved
by the president at any time, or by his
successor II Office"
The injunction was dissolved and the
bin dismissed at the cost of the plain
tiff, Fleming.

COLORADO AT OMAHA.
Appeals to County Commissioners to
Aid State Exhibit.

Denver, Dec. pa circular letter
has been sent to the boards of county
commissioners throughout the state by
the ways and means committee of the
Colorado commission of the Trans Mis-
sissippi and International exposition,
asking the boards TO appropriate q
stipulated sum to defray the expenses
of a state exhibit at Omaha next year.
This appeal is made because the stale
legislature failed to make an appropria-
ton. and because the ways and means
committee realized that il was in1pos-
sible to raise the necessary funds,
about $4,000. by public substitution.

Justices of the Peace.

e The new Constitution changes the
term of Office of Justice of the Peace to
years instead of years, as hereto
fore. The effort to keep the time of
Office to years was defeated by
vote of 10 to 5. The most earnest
speech was made by Martin Burris, of
Middletown, as per the following re-
port of the proceedings:
When section 80 was called up it oc-
casioned one of the liveliest debates of
the day, Mr.. Burris being exceed
ingly emphatic in stating his opinion
of the class of men who are appointed
justices of the peace. He desired to
amend the section so as to make JUS
tices elective, and during his remarks
said that in vast majority of in
tances they were not only not conserv-
ators of the peace of a community, but
a positive menace and a curse to the
people. Very often, he said, they are
the instruments of oppression towards
! the people, who are at times wantonly
and maliciously confined in our iails at
the behest of unscrupulous prosecu-
tors, aided and abetted by the justices.
Two-thirds of those who are appointed
could not possibly be elected to the
position if the people had voice in the
matter, and in most cases they owe
their appointment to the favoritism o.
political bosses in their locality, an(
not to any ability they possess. Th'
people, Mr.. Burris asserted, should b'
delivered from such Outrage abuses
