NiOped in the Bnd.

Judge Levi MCGEE has decided
that the state courts have no iuris-
diction over matters pertaining to
the government and managing Of
the state soldiers home at Hot
Springs. This decision was render
ed in the case Of William Black
against Commandant Arthur Linn
and the five mem bers OF the board Of
OF commissioners of the home in
which board is vested the govern
ment and control of the institution.
Black sued for IS, 900 damages for
alleged wrongful and malicious acts
OF the commandant and board in ex-
pelling him from the home. Judge
McGee held that the legislature has
given the board absolute control OF
the heme affairs and there is no
court OF appeal from its decision on
matters relating to the homes man
;agement.
The decision will give knock k-out
blow to the hopes ofseveral ex mem
bers Of the home who have been ex-
pelled, and were waiting the result
OF Blacks suit before appealing to
the law themselves. The attorneys
for Black say they will carry the
matter to the supreme court.
