The county option law, still pending
in the legislature, has aroused a gen.
eral discussion among the Lincoln
lawyers and such as have come in from
other parts of the state to yis.i The
legislature. The bill already defeated
in the senate and still pending In the
house has been objected to by attor-
neys as unconstitutional for the rea-
son chat this bill does not repeal that
section of the Slocumb law 1t Is in
tended to replace. Even the lawyers
themselves find it difficult to formulate
a bill which will settle the question Of
whether or not there shall be saloons
in the town when the county has voted
wet with local sentiment in the town
and q town council that is dry II
Clay county, for example, voting on
the saloon question under county
option law should vote wet then how
would you get q saloon III Fairfield
where the anti-saloon sentiment is
overwhelming and where the town
board is against saloons?
Along With the discussion or the
county option proposition there is also
considerable talk among the lawyers
and local politicians OF Lincoln as to
the regulation Of the saloon system
here. Whatever happens in the lcsis-
lature the city government OF Lincoln
must go on and 1t is becoming more
and more the consensus of opinion thas
Lincoln, as great college center. must
steadily progress, toward strictor reg
ulation and gradual strangulatt0n OF
the liquor traffic In 4 discussion
among number of attorneys tho idea
was advanced that the Winnatt theory
OF closing in upon the saloon business
by gradually lessening the number OF
saloons and increasing the license
could be ultimately developed into
condition where the saloon was poth-
ing more nor less than "A store where
whisky and beer could be bought but
not used on the premises.

OHIO is FOR TAFT
Chairman Brown Of the State Cen.
trail Committee Makes Some
Emphatic Statements.
SENTIMENT ALL ONE WAY
Not Only Are the Politicians Favor
able to the War Secretary but the
People Generally Favor His
Candidacy.

Toledo, o., May 18.-Chairman Wal
ter F. Brown, of the Ohio State Cen
trail committee Friday broke through
the reticence he has so far observed
since the commencement of the Taft
Foraker imbroglio. He declared him
self as unquallfledly for Taft, said
the republicans of Ohio were solidly
in favor Of his candidacy and declared
that Senators Foraker and Dick owe
II to themselves and friends to settle
the report that they are secretly sup
porting the candidacy of Vice Presi.
dent Fairbanks.
He declared, moreover that the
sentiment for Taft is so strong that
II further opposed, or in any way mis-
represented by Senators Foraker and
Dick, 1t will burst all bounds and de-
mand expression in popular conven.
ton.
Chairman Brown is not given to
extravagant talk He is rather ex-
travagantly disposed In the opposite
direction. He DISCUSSES only such
matters as he knows and when the
conversation turns unon subjects
where he is not certain of his facts
he loses his voice entirely. His opin.
ion of tho Ohio situation as relating
to Secretary Taft was summoned nm
in this sentence.

DECISION AFFECTS ARMY
Supreme Court Makes Ruling That
Invalidates Court Martials.
Completely Changes The Status and
Pay Of Regular Army officers Who
Hold Volunteer Commissions.

Washington. May 21.--There 1
grave apprehension at the War dc
partment that the supreme court o
the United States has invalidated thu
status Of every regular army office
who has held at the same time 4
volunteer commission, and has also
invalidated the legality Of the pro
ceedings Of every courtmartial Of O
volunteer officer or enlisted man. on
which has sat an officer holding both
regular and volunteer commissions.
The court last Monday handed down
an opinion declaring invalid the court
martial Of Lieutenant LewiS q.
Brown, a negro volunteer officer who
was tried and dismissed from the
service in Cuba. The courtmartial
was invalidated because an officer
Of the regular army, who was also a
volunteer officer, sat ON the courtmar-
tial. Under the decision Brown will
be entitled to draw his pay until the
date Of the mastering out of his regl-
ment and the expiration of his COM
mission.
War department officials regard 1t
as the logical conclusion to be drawn
from the courts decision that the find
ings Of every courtmartial on which
sat a regular army officer who also
held a volunteer commission, and
which tried volunteer officer or en-
listed man, are invalldated and claims |
for pay to the end Of the term Of the |
commission or enlistment may be
made.
The basis Of the courts decision is
that a regular army officer holding a
volunteer commission at the same
time, is not a volunteer, but a regu-
lar army officer. The War depart
ment has always held exactly the re-
verse; that is, that regular officer
holding volunteer commission, was,
during the time he held such commits
sion, volunteer officer and not
regular army officer. The pay of such
officers has been regulated on that
basis and many officers Of low grades
we're given commissions to HIGHER
grades in the volunteer service during
he Civil war, the Spanish-American
var and the insurrection In the Phil
ppines, and by reason Of such COM
Missions, drew largely increased pay,
Under the recent decision Of the court
his pay will have to be returned;
hat is, II the decision is really as
,road as at present 1t appears.

The hypothesis Of world develop
ment from spiral nebulae, which was
so widely discussed about 20 years
ago. but which Of late years has been
seriously questioned, has been
strengthened somewhat recently by
the explanation that worlds are
formed not by the condensation Of
rings gradually solldifed from tenu.
Gus nebulae, but rather by great
masses thrown OF or detached from
the parent mass Of q nebula by the
centrifugal force Of the rotation.
Photographs Of nebulae disclose such
masses in process Of detachment. and
most astronomers are now inclined to
the belief that this IL the way in
which all planetary bodies have been
formed. The heavens show thousands
Of spiral nebulae which are evidently
In . state Of rotation In central nuclei,
and which indicate that they viii
probably be consolidated into suns
and solar systems similar to our own

He CHARGES BIAS
Mayor Schmitz, Of San Francisco
Objects to Being Tried Be-
fore Judge Dunno.
A SENSATIONAL STATEMENT
Committee Of Seven Assume Control
and viii Attempt to Make City
Safe for Habitation Of
Human Beings.

San Francisco, May 20.-District
Attorney Langdon was Saturday night
served by Mayor Schmitz's attorneys,
Metson, Campbell G. Drew and John
J. Barrett and G. H. Fairall, with
notice Of motion for substitution Of
trial Judge on the ground that Judge
Frank H. Dunno is disqualified by
bias and prejudice. Accompanying
and supporting this motion is a
lengthy affidavit by schmitz In which
charges Of an extremely sensational
nature are made against Rudolph
Spreckles, his associates in the
bribery graft prosecution, and Judge
Dunno himself.
Among Schmitz's allegations are
the following: That Mr.. Spreckels
and the associates who are with him
the financial guaranteers Of the brib-
cry graft investigation and prosecu-
ton, long since exhausted the origi-
nal fund of 100000 pledged by
Spreckles and have expended nearly
one million dollars in a municipal
publication campaign; that the expen-
diture Of this vast sum Of money is
by way Of an Investment from which
actual monied returns are expected;
that Spreckles and prosecuting asso-
ciates desire and purpose to overthrow
the present municipal administration
in order that they themselves may as
sumo the reins Of government and So
cure for themselves street railway and
water franchises which will net them
millions Of dollars Of the public
money; that Judge Dunno is aware
Of this intent and purpose and IL
herewith in accord: that the convic-
ton Of Schmitz is desired as means
to these ends, and that it is the wish
Of Judge Dunno that a biased and
prejudiced jury be selected to secure
such conviction; that for many and
various reasons the same, as set forth
by Abraham Ruef In his APP
plication for q substitute for trial
Judge 1t is impossible for Schmitz to
have a fair and impartial trial at
Judge DUNES hands.

men to whom Mayor Schmitz has
given full power to cope with the
peculiar situation brought about in
affairs by the developments
