LINCOLN, April 7.-(speoial)-The SUI
preme court commissioners we're not work
ing today. The commissioner desired be-
fore resuming their labors to know Just
where they we're at and this morning there
was no one TO tell them. II all grew out
OF the disagreement Of the house and sem
ate as to the number OF commissioners to
be employed.
After a conference OF Commissioners
Ames, Pound, Oldham. Dune, Bobingier,
Barnes. Alberts, Kirkpatrick and Hastings
It was announced that the commissioner
would decline 10 hear any OF the cases
scheduled to be argued and submitted at
the present sitting. AS a reason therefor
they stated that as their term Of office
expires on Friday Of this week and there is
no certainty that all of them will be re-
tanned, II would be useless and unwise to
proceed with the hearing of cases for the
reason that before they could render a de-
cision thereon the chances are that some
of them would be no longer commissioners
and qualified to act. which would neces-
state a r%eargument and resubmission
II was argued that perhaps the refusal
Of the commissioners to act lay In the fact
that their pay stopped on the first OF the

Some Of the attorneys do not like it after
having come to Lincoln for the purpose OF
argumen only to find themselves turned
down temporarily, but most Of them took
It philosophically, recognizing the reason
ableneas Of the commissioners position.
The supreme judges heard the first ten
cases on the call and passed over all OF
the others until the next sitting.
At the opening OF court the chief justice
announced that the court would take q
submission OF such cases as parties chose
to submit upon the briefs and OF such orally
argued. cases upon the trial list which are
for argument will be continued until April
21 and placed upon the trial list for that
date and that no cases would at this SEES
sion be assigned for oral argument to the
commissioners.
