Court UPholds
Davis Veto
Many Bills Passed by Arkansas
Assembly Invalidated

Little Rock, Ark: The Supreme
Court Wednesday passed upon the
case of T. G. Monroe, auditor, VS.. B.
w. Green ct al, recently decided by
Judge Winfield in the Second Division
of the Pulaski Circuit Court
The suit was instituted to compel
the Auditor of State to pay a warrant
drawn on an appropriation carried by
House bill providing for a roster of
Confederate soldiers and sailors in
this State. The bill was passed by
the last General Assembly, but was
not presented to the Governor until
after the Assembly had adjourned.
The bill was included with number
of others, in which has been called
the omnibus veto" of the Governor.
The court held that while the bill
was duly and legally passed by both
the House of Representatives and the
Senate, yet there was no proper and
legal presentation Of the bill to the
Governor The joint rules of the
House and Senate required that the
bills should be properly enrolled and
signed by the presiding officer Of each
branch of the Legislature and then
presented to the Governor for his ap-
proval or rejection. The court held
that these rules are reasonable and
should be complied with, and that -un-
der the constitution there could be no
presentation Of bill to the Governor
without compliance with the estab-
lished rules of the House and Senate,
and as the bill was not signed by the
Speaker of the House and President
Of the Senate, there was no compli-
ance with the rules, hence the bill
never has or could become a law.
The decision kills the "a bills left over
after the adjournment Of the Legis.
lature, which is one-third of the en-
tire work OF the session.

Lehmann case Goes over.

st. Louis: Judge Ryan yesterday
morning sustained the motion Of the
defense for a continuance in the first
of the Doodle cases against julius Leh-
mann, who is charged with perjury in
connection with the Suburban bribery
deal. The case is the same in which
the Supreme Court reversed the find
ing of the lower court. When Leh-
mann was tried before the State had
only few witnesses to depend upon.
Not a member of the combine was
present at the trial to testify against
the defendant. He was convicted,
however, and sentenced to two years
imprisonment. The Supreme Court
reversed the case on the instructions
given by the lower court.

Lehman Gets
Seven Years
Eighteenth Conviction in Doodle
Investigation

st. Louis: Julius Lehman was
Wednesday found guilty of bribery by
the jury in Judge Ryan's court, and
was sentenced to seven years in the
Penitentiary. The jury was out but
IA minutes.
This is the eighteenth conviction Sc
cured since the municipal Doodle
trials began.
Seven years is the limit which can
be given for bribery, and Lehman is
the first one who has received the
limit. There was but one vote taken
by the jury, so it is reported.
Lehman did not seem to be dis
turbed when the verdict was an
nounced. He said when the jury left
the box TO go to the jury room that
he would be found guilty and was pre-
pared for the verdict.
The attorneys for Lehman did not
make an argument before the jury.
The only one making a speech was
Circuit Attorney Folk.
An appeal to the Supreme Court
will be taken by the attorneys for
Lehman. When the verdict had been
read they at once made an application
for new trial on technical grounds,
which was overruled by Judge Ryan.
1t is a notable fact that since the
reversal by the Supreme Court in the
Lehman and Faulkner cases the jur-
les have been giving those charged
with boodling much heavier SEN
fences. Jeremiah ]. Hannigan got
five years, Emil Hartmann six years.
and the climax was reached when
Lehman was given seven years.
During the entire trial Of Lehman
the attorneys for the defense did not
attempt to refute the testimony re-
garding the Doodle deal, but only
sought to show that the character OF
the witnesses was such that depend
ence could not be placed upon the tes-
tlmony. This was not answered by
the State. except in the speech Of
Mr.. Folk to the Jury.

Russia Refuses
to Receive Petition
American Charge at St. Peters
burg Cables Reply

Washington: 1t was learned Thurs
day night that the State Department
has received a reply from Russia stat
ing that it neither would receive nor
consider the matter of the Jewish pc
tition on the subject of the KisheneV
incident
This information came in the form
Of cablegram from Mr.. Riddle, the
American Charge at st. Petersburg, to
whom was committed the delicate
task of inquiring of the Russian Gov
eminent as to it's attitude with respect
to the Prosecution of the petition.
1t is believed that this win end the
matter and that no further steps will
be taken by this Government to bring
the views of the petitioners to the at
tention of Russia, although as yet no
consideration has been given by the
President to the course to be pursued
in the light of Russia's response to
the inquiry,
The reply that Russia would make
to all suggestions on the subject OF
the Kishenev massacre was forecast
ed very clearly by the Associated
Press some weeks ago in an authoriz-
ed statement when the public was
definitely informed that Russia re-
garded the affair as an internal mat
ter, as to which she, in the exercise
of her own sovereignty, must refuse
to receive suggestions from any other
Government or outside source.
