FRIENDLY TEGHNICALITY.
Enables an Iowa Judge to Knock Out
Constitutional Amendment.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 9.-Judge A. r.
Dewey, of the sixth Iowa judicial dis
trict, rendered his decision at Wash
ington, Iowa, at o'clock this afternoon
upon the legality of the election amend
ment to the state constitution, declar-
ing the same to be void. He bases his
lengthy opinion of 10000 words upon the
fact that the amendment was not sub
rnitted by the legislature in legal form.
Every politician and Office holder in the
state has been awaiting the decision,
for upon the result the terms of all
Office holders would or would not be
extended one year, the general opinion
being that the supreme court would
affirm Judge DeWey's opinion. The case
was planned some time ago by Attorney
General Rern1ey, Attorney General ELECT
Mullan and Senator George Titus, au-
provided that all terms of Office, from
governor down. expiring in the year
1901 be extended for one year. 1t first
appeared in the legislature of 1898, being
introduced in the form of joint reso-
luton In compliance with require
ments for the adoption of an amend
nent, it was presented to the succeed
ing legislature in 1900, known as the
twenty eighth general assembly. In the
passage of the resolution at that ses-
sion the record made in the Journal Of
the house was by the title Of the joint
resolution. The constitution requires
that the amendment shall be entered
upon the Journals Judge Dewey holds
not sufficient, and therefore the amend
ment was not legally adopted by the
people of Iowa at the election Novem-

to demolish a saloon in this city with

nounced today that he will ask the
supreme court of the state to release his
wife from the quarantined jail of Sedg-
wick county on a writ Of habeas corpus
He sought to get the writ from Judge
Dale of the district court, alleging in
substance that the smallpox quarantine
was placed on the county jail to prevent
the liberty of his wife on ball. Judge
Dale told him that he was wasting his
breath and informed him that he would
not hear the matter, but at the same
time stating that he had his permission
to take it to any other court he desired
Mr.. Nation then prepared his pape-s
for the Kansas court OF appeals. but
curiousIy enough when he reached there
100 feet distant, that court informed
him that it had only one hours statI-

hearing. 1t was then that Mr.. Nation
announced his intention OF taking the
matter to the supreme court
