OPPOSITION GROWS IN vIGOR
Kansas CattIemen VIII Enter United
Protest Against Change In Live
stock shipping Rates.

Union Pacific executive officers have re-
ceiyed copies OF a circular signed by the
president and secretary OF the Kansas Live
Stock association, calling a meeting OF all
Kansas growers and shippers cs live stock
to be held in the court house at Emporia
Kan, December 2S. Similar circulars have
been forwarded the executive officers OF all
railroads operating in Kansas. The circular
reads as follows:
"A meeting of the Kansas Live Stock as
ISOLATION will be held for the purpose of
taking action toward protecting cattle ship
pers against the unreasonable and unjust
rates recently put into effect by the Kansas
railroads, and also TO make an effort to OBJ
tain better service from the railroads In the
transportation of live stock, All parties in
terested, whether members OF the assocla-
tlon or not, are invited to attend"
This meeting grows out OF the recent
change made by the railroads in charging
for the transportation of live stock. Prevl-
ously the rate was fixed at dollars per car

BOSTON BANK CLOSES DOORS
Broadway National, Organized Forty
Six Years Ago, Dragged Down
by Another Failure.

BOSTON Dec. 16.-As a result of the
failure OF the John P. Squire company. a
corporation o. Cambridge, for $1,000, 600,
which was announced late yesterday after
noon, the Broadway National bank here, in
which the Squres were largely interested,
did not open its doors today and notice at
the entrance stated that the affairs OF the
bank were in the hands of the comptroller
of the currency.
1t did not take long for the news of the
trouble to circulate widely and all sorts of
wild rumors were set afioat. These reporS S
made mention OF other banks with which the
Sauires were connected and one or two in
stitutions which, it was said, would be most
likely to feel the influence of the disturb
ance. For an hour these conditions pre-
vailed, but as one after the other of the
banks mentioned were found to be doing
business as usual the agitation began to
subside and by / O'Clock affairs apparently
had resumed their normal state.
Members of the clearing house commit ee
refused to talk of the Broadway bank ques-
tion today. 1t seemed to be the opinion
among bankers that no important failures
would follow the closing of the institution.
The city of Boston was a depositor in he
Broadway National and $97, 900 of city money
is tied up. The commonwealth of Massa>
chusetts also had a deposit in the bank
amounting to about $4,000
The Broadway National is located at the
corner OF Milk and Arch streets. Roswell
r. Downer Is its president and Frank o..
Squire, president and manager of the John
p. Squire company, Is vice president. When
it became known yesterday that the Squire
firm was in trouble the clearing house took
I'D the question of giving assistance to the
bank. After an investigation, which was
not completed until last evening, 1t was de-
cided to take no action. The officials of the
hank at once entered into communication
with Comptroller Dawes, wish the result
that the institution was turned over into
the comptrolers hands, Bank Examiner
Wing being designated as temporary re-
ceiver.
The Broadway National bank was incor-
porated in 1858. Its last statement, pre-
sented at the close Of business December g.,
showed the following figures:
Capital, 100000; loans. $1,99j,o00; crcu-
lation. $45, 900; individual depos ts $234s, 900;
due banks, $131 900; due from reserve
agents, $274,OO0; expenses clearing house,
S273, 900; due from banks, $16S,o00; 5 per
cent funds. $2,25O; legal tender, $3.50
specie, $4,000.
Besides President Downer and Vice Pres
ident Squire the directors OF the bank in
clude Henry l.. Lawrence, John ]. Graham
and Frank w. Downer.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Asslstant Sec
rotary OF the Navy Allen, having selected

directly from Fort Monroe 10 Arlington.
They will be carried through General Sheri-
dams gate and placed in hospital tents

number of persons will be present at Ar
lington when the final interment takes
place. probably the last week in December.

FORCED TO AID THE ROBBERS
Saloon Keeper Frank Knsisl<I Is
Made so Tell where His
Money is Kept.

carefully planned and successfully ex-
ecuted robbery occurred shortly after 8
O'Clock yesterday morning at the Arbor Hall
saloon, 3O02 Walnut street. The two men
who did 1t were evidently well acquainted
with the propretor's method OF barring the
front door a hole was bored in the door
with an augur and with the aid Of an iron
rod the brace which held 1t was thrown
back. The two then made their way to a
rear room where Frank Kasski the owner
of the place, slept. They woke him, and at
the point of two revolvers, demanded that
he give up either his life or the hiding place
OF his money. He choee the latter
alternative, and acting on his directions the
men carried away $3.50. The police were
not notified until nearly two hours later, and
the clew they have to work on is very
slender The place is an ideal one for the
job, being on the outskirts of the city and
in a thinly populated section.

Law MAY BAR OUT MACHINES
Statute Contemplates Use of Only Printed
Ballots in Elections.
CoNNELL THINKS COUNCIL is PowsRLEss
Election Law Makes Strict Provisions
Which 1t is Deemed Impossible
for the Voting Machines
to Legally Meet.

ITO give you a curbstone' opinion" said
City Attorney Connell, without having gone
into the matter exhaustively, should say
that any effort to Use voting machines in
Nebraska would be in violation both of tn
constitution and the Australian ballot law.
| am heartily in favor of machines and be-
lleVe that they must necessarily come in the
near future, but it seems to me impossible
to reconcile them with existing statutes.
The constitutional provision relating to
the method of voting is contained in six
words-'Voting shall be done by ballot 1t
Is possible that the clause might be inter-
preted literally enough to apply to the ma
chimes system of registration, but that is
matter for the courts to decide.
The law relating to elections by the Aus
tralian ballot system is much more difficult
to eVade. Almost every section of it is writ
ten in contemplation of the use of printed
ballots 1t provides for the quality and
color of the paper on which the names must
be printed; 1t specifies that the voter must
enter booth and mark cross oppos te the
name of his favored candidate; 1t describes
the method which must be pursued in fold
ing the ballots SO that the superscribel
names of the judges and clerks shall be ex-
posed. According to the law the Judges
must string the ballots after they have been
cast in a prescribed fashion 1t is impo3si-
BILE in my opinion for the machines to live
up to these requirements even in a broaI
sense.

OFFICIAL BONDS ARE FILED
County Commissioners Hold Lengthy
SessIon-VOtinE Machines
Are Discussed.

At a lengthy session of the county com
missioners a vast array of routine business
was transacted, including the reception OF
several official bonds filed by newly elected
officers, all Of which were referred. The
commissioners also took notice of the resig-
nation of John Lewis, chief deputy sheriff,
and the sheriff was authorized to employ
substitute help for the remainder of his
term, with the provision that such service
shall be paid at n rate not to exceed 500
per month, which was the salary of Deputy
Lewis.
1t is understood that Deputy Lewis resig
nation was due to friction between himself
and Sheriff Mcdonald.
The bonds on file are as follows: Samuel
/. Gordon, police Judge, $4,000, signed by
American Bonding and Trust company OF
Baltimore; George Mcbride, surveyor, $500,
signed by b. e. Wilcox and a. Guiding
ton; Fred w. McGinniss, constable 81 900,
signed by Thomas Dennison and Nels Seiroe;
William A. Hardy, constable, 81 900, signed
by Newton Niday and Dennis Cunning
ham.
Justices of the peace were ordered to hand
in their dockets Immediately on expiration
OF their terms so the board of commission =
ers can make the various assignments.
A resolution was adopted for the appoint
ment of a committee of commissioners to
confer with a city council committee rela-
tive to the adoption of voting machines for
the next election.
There was also some discussion relative
to the county funds tied up in defunct
banks. which subject was thoroughly en-
tered into at previous meeting.
The misunderstanding relative to printing
reward cards for the apprehension of the
supposed slayer of Lizzie McAuliffe was
not talked about in open meeting, but one
of the commissioners is authority for the
statement that the cards ar now being is
sued from a job printing office.

ALIENS RIGHT TO HIS SEAT
Mandcrson Gives Opinion TINT Cow
crnor Was Empowered to
FIJI the Vacancy.

General Charles f. Henderson, who re-
turned from Chicago yesterday, was asked
his opinion as to whether William V. Allen
may lawfully take his seat in the senate.
General Henderson having had the benefit
of experience as acting president of the SEN
ate. is credited with being an authority on
the usages of that body. The possibility
was pointed out to him that vacancy
within the filling of the governor might have
not occurred inasmuch as Hayward had not
taken the oath OF Office Ii reply he said:
my opinion is that the governor was
authorized to fill the vacancy caused by
Hayward's death and that Allen is entitled
to take his seat. l would not wish to be
quoted as to reasons for that opinion with
out writing them out and have no time to
do that"

Exposition Employees Must Wait BE-
fore Being Given IA Hearing.
The 400 employees of the greater America
Exposition who have brought suit in United
States court in attempt to collect wages
due them from the association were on hand
at an early hour yesterday, but instead
of the case being called it was postponed on
account OF the case of the United States
against the Reimers and Alder, the Neigh
bankers, being on the criminal call. AT this
time this case is we'll under way and part
OF the testimony is in. The jurors are kept
together and the court did not think 1t ad
visable to postpone the hearing in order to
take'up the exposition case. AS the Reimer
triat will consume several days it is not
likely that the exposition case2' will be
reached until after Christmas.
The Decorative Plant company and the
Dewey G. Stone Furniture company have
filed answers in the United States district
court protesting against the bankruptcy pro-
coedings instituted against the exposition
association. They contend that they are
creditors In the sum Of $1052 and $235,
respectively and allege that the exposition
association has committed no acts OF bank
ruptcy.

PREACHERS ALICE ERRORS
Motion for New Trial is Filed in the Scott
Contempt Gases.
nBALeNGTHY BUT POINTED DOCUMENT
Several Alleged vital Errors In the
Ruling of the Court Are Bnumer-
ated-Ministers Are stiII
out of Jail.

Rev. II. C. Herring, Rev. T. j. Mackay and
w. =. Hartford, defendants in the recent
contempt proceedings In Judge Scott's court,
are still on the sunny side OF the bars and
their fines remain unpaid.
Attorneys for the defendants have filed a
motion for a new trial They believe they
have discovered vital defects in Judge SCOTS
ruling and the men of the cloth are not an
ticipating imprisonment. Probably the most
important points mentioned in the motion
for a new trial are as follows:
First-That the defendants were not ar
raigned and given opportunity to plead prior
to the trial.
Second-That after being adjudged guilty
the court did not ask them what they had
to say as to why sentence should not be pro-
nounced upon them.
Third-That they were not allowed reas-
enable time in which to prepare for trial.
Fourth-That the filing OF the information
should have been by the county attorney
instead Of by Benjamin Dodd, the plaintiff
in the habeas corpus proceedings.
The four attorneys representing the
preachers we're at the court house yester-
day wearing a smile which seemed to say:
He who laughs last, laughs best" Judge
Scott has not yet passed upon the motion.
The preachers did not enter personal ap-
pearance.
The greater part Of the forenoon in Judge
Scotts court was taken up with motion
to dismiss the contempt proceedings against
l.. ID. Holmes, former president of the
Children's Home society, on the ground that
he is no longer connected with the institu
tion and that while he was its president he
did everything in his power to produce the
missing Dodd children in court. This phase
of the many-sided case goes over until Tues
day.
The sheriff has made returns on the writs
citing the Barnses and the Gordons to ap
pear before Judge Scott to answer by what
right they hold two of the Dodd children
out OF court. The sheriff was unable to find
the children, but found their keepers, and
they are expected to appear this week some
time. Although in the application for order
to bring in the keepers of the chill
dren the name Of ex-Judge NJ. r. Hope
well was mentioned because of the advice he
is alleged to have given, no citation has yet
been issued for him. 1t is stated in the clerks
office that Judge Hopewell will simply be
subpoenaed in the regular form as wit
ness.

December a change went into effect on the
railroads operating In Kansas and Nebraska,
whereby the rate is now computed at cents
per hundred. In brief, the railroads now
charge for every pound OF cattle shipped in
stead of receiving so much money for the
car. Cattlemen in Kansas and Nebraska in
sst that this ruling is unfair ana assert that
1t means an advance in the expense Of trans
porting cattle. In Kansas there has been
especial activity and for this reason the
meeting Of the cattlemen and other inter-
ested parties to protest against the action
of the railroads is a significant one.

1t is true that supplementary enactment
was passed last April by the legislature
allowing the use of voting machines when
properly authorized by county or municipal
boards, but that act does not nvalidata in
any way the ballot law. The permission
given only has force provided the terms OF
the ballot law are observed. Strict require
ments are also laid down in the act granting
the privilege. First. the machines must
guarantee the voter absolute secrecy; second
they must preserve an accurate record; third
they must be proof against fraudulent vet
ing, and not liable to get out of order either
through accident or tampering."
j. II. Van Dusen of Douglas county was a
member Of the judiciary committee to which
the voting machine law was referred by the
last legislature. He points out that the con-
stitutional and statutory requirements re-
garding elections are apparently fatal to the
introduction of voting machines. The com
mittee recommended the bill for passage
however as the first step toward the desired
innovation. The superiority of the new
method was thought to be so evident that 1t
would warrant an amendment to the statutes
and even the constitution later on. The lat
ter step may not be necessary, he said ac-
cording to the decision OF the supreme cour.
in Michigan, In that state the constltu-
tional provision is similar to ours and II was
ruled that the word ballot" which accord
ing to Webster is "any printed or written
ticket used in voting" may be extended to
apply to voting machines.
1t is the desire of Councilman Burmester,
who introduced the voting machine PROPOSE
tion, to get action on the matter at once, as
the iron booths are in a wrecked condition
and will not be equal to the emergency OF the
spring election. They can only be replaced
at an expense of $4,000.
