Case From Philippines Carried TO SUI
preme Court

Case From Philippines Carried TO su-
preme Court
The first case originating in the Phil
ippines to be brought to the attention
Of the supreme court Of the United
States was presented November II,
when Attorney Clark of this city In be-
half Of Thomas E.. Keyner, moved for
leave to file a petition for a writ Of
c%ertiorari to the supreme court of the
Philippines to bring the case to the IA
tional supreme court for review.
Keyner is a citizen OF Minnesota. en-
gagged in the practice Of law in Manila.
He was arrested in 1901, on the charge
Of swindling, but was acquitted by the
court Of first instance. The ~ was
then appealed to the insular supreme
court by the prosecuting attorney.
Keyner moved to dismiss the appeal
on the ground that under the laws then
in force in the Philippines the United
States is not entitled to an appeal in
a criminal case from a finding Of not
guilty and a judgment Of acQuittal.
The motion was overruled and Key
ner at once began the present proceed
ings. contending that he WAS about to
be put In jeopardy for the second time
contrary to the constitution Of the
United States. He sets up the tempo
rary government act OF congress Of
July last AZ the basis for his request
that the court take jurisdiction.
Solicitor General Richards said the
matter was Of Importance and was
given two weeks to reply to the motion.
He will resist the motion on the ground
that Keyner's first trial was before q
Judge only and not before a jury and
that therefore there was no violation
Of the constitution of the United States

Of Nebraska. When the vote is can
vassed before the legislature In joint
convention next January the announce
ment will be made that Mr.. Mickey re-
ceived a total Of 96.471 votes and Mr..
Thompson 9l,116. These are the fig-
ures compiled by Secretary Of State
Marsh and Deputy Secretary Miller.
The totals on governor have been veri-
fed and are supposed to be absolutely
correct. The total vote east in the
state is 1873, 667, but this may be
changed by corrections sent In from
various counties. Last year the total
vote was 203. 1852. and two years ago It
was 251 ,005. Last year Judge SedgwiCk
received 9S.993. as compared with &c.
All for Mickey. Judge H%ollenbeck re-
ceived S6.334. rs compared with 81 JIG
cast for Thompson this year.
The majorities for the other candi-
dates on the republican state ticket
will probably run up to $4,000. The
unverifed vote east for lieutenant gov
ernor gives McGilton 9S. 1920, Gilbert
SOB, a majority Of IL 1907 for the re-
publican candidate. The unverified
vote for secretary of state gives Marsh
80. 1928. Powers 8 5,St4. a majority of

State Superintendent W. X. Fowler
will probably have a larger majority
than any other republican candidate.
His vote Is also expected to exceed that
cast for any other candidate.

Methodists Would Welcome : Union Of
North and South
An Albany. N. Y., Nov. II, dispatch
says: At the session of the general
missionary conference OF the Methodist
Episcopaf church here today a spirited
debate took place On the question OF
increasing the amount to be devoted to
missionary work in the south. 1t was
suggested that Il would be advisable
to spend the money in quarters where
the Methodist Episcopal church, south,
was not engaged.
Bishop Hartzel resented this, saying:
1T is proposed to force us out Of
the south while providence in its own
time may bring US together with our
southern brethren. l do not see that
II Is necessary to anticipate provi-
dence."
THANK God. the bloody shirt does
not wave any longer" said Bishop
Walden. There Is no necessity Of this
doubling up on missionary work. We
have two theological schools near the
City of Mexico where only n is need
ed. When you come TO talk OF provi-
dence 1t should be our business to cul-
tivate the preliminary conditions nec-
essary to a union Of the churches SO
rs to be ready for the possible work of

WANTS COURT TO APPROVE
TEST Case to Go Before Surname yua.s,
1T viii he In the Form of a Writ
Of Msndamus Against state
Treasurer stuefer

The courts will be resorted to by the
state administration Of Nebraska to
enable 1t to purchase $500, 900 Of bonds
OF the state OF Massachusetts,. This is
I'M OF the biggest deals ever under
ken by the state and IL accomplished
VIII be the means Of investing every
cent or the uninvested educational
funds in the treasury.
Attorney General Prout has decided
that the investment Is legal. but TO
make absolutely certain of the validity
or such a transaction, 1t ie deemed
best to bring a test case in the SUI
preme court. A writ of mandamus
will be asked for November to compel
State Treasurer Stuefer to pay the
money for the bonds. BY this means a
bo-l fde case will be placed before
the court.
So far in the history of Nebraska no
state administration has ever thought
OF buying bonds issued by another
state. This unique point was first
brought up several months ago when
an offer for bonds issued by Tennessee
was made to the board. The offer was
not seriously considered because of the
general standing Of the state behind

state bonds were offered the subject
al once became interesting. That
Massachusetts, n Of the states Of the
east, should have bonds that could be
bought by a western commonwealth,
was one OF the surprises to the board.
As Its securities are considered equal
to government bonds, the matter was
looked into, the attorney general gave
his opinion and the offer has been &C.
cepted.
The board that made the deal COM
prises Secretary of State Marsh, Land
Commissioner Follmer, Treasurer Stue-
Ter and Attorney General Prout. The
bonds are gold bearing bonds bearing
3 per cent interest and run forty years
without option. They are in the hands
OF a broker and cannot be bought from
any other source. They can be bought
on a basis OF about 3 per cent.
AS county bonds are hard to find and

educational funds are not invested, the
