New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1907-04-03

The county option bill, which was
killed in the senate some weeks ago,
was given it's quietus in the house
when motion to recall the bill from
the committee on temperance was de-
feated by vote of 60 to SIS.
The case of F. l.. Gugbisberg
against Frank Winning for using
abusive language came up for trial
here last Saturday. The defendant
plead guilty and paid his fine and the
osts.-Lafayette Ledger.
There will be no compromise on the
two-cent passenger fare proposition.
The legislative conference committee
came to that conclusion Monday eve
ming and decided to report in favor of
bill providing for a fiat two-cent
rate.
Next Sunday the officers of the
Texas grand lodge of Hermann Sons
will dedicate monument to the late
Julius Schuetze in lakewood cemetery
at Austin, Texas. Mr.. Schuetze was
national grand president at the time
Of the dedication of the monument in
this city.
After an argument lasting five hours
the senate killed the semi-centennial
exposition bill by one vote, the vote
being 81 for and 30 against the bill,
81 being necessary for passage. It
was the hardest fight the senate has
had this session, and the defeat was
accomplished through an unusual
combination of circumstances. Two
of the senator's whose support was
counted on by the supporters of the
bill went over to the opposition, and
another senator, who had voted with
the supporters of the bill in the early
stages of the fight, was called away by
news of the serious illness of his
father.

INDIAN WAR. PENSIONS. EXTENDED
Lower House Of Legislature Acts
Favorably on the Wright Bill.

Sitting as committee of the whole,
the house, just before it's noon adj
journment Friday, recommended for
passage the Wright bill, providing
pensions for all citizen soldiers of
Minnesota who participated in the En-
dian wars. AS the law now reads,
only those who we're disabled in these
wars are entitled to pensions. Now
twelve dollars a month is provided
for all survivors.
The general fear was that the bill
would prove an expensive act of chari-
ty and protests cane from all parts of
the house, John Lennon and Judge
Hicks of MINNEAPOLIS leading in this
respect.
They were vigorously opposed to the
amendment proposed by Burdett Thay-
err which extended the pensions to per-
sons now residing out of the state.
This amendment was defeated.
Two amendments were adopted, one
denying the pension to citizen soldiers
now drawing pension from the ma
tional government, and the other max
ing 1907 instead of 1905 the year when
the pensions shall become operative.
The senate has passed the Nolan re-
ciprocal demurrage bill by vote OF
81 to 9. Senator Clague led the fight
for it's passage.
The house in committee of the whole
has killed the bill providing that a tax
of ten per cent should be paid each
year on the interest of a debt secured
by mortgage.
A stitutional amendment provid-
ing that county superintendent OF
schools shall be required to have edu-
cational qualifications to be deter
mined by the legislature is proposed

THOUSANDS FOR new UIM MAN
Decision Of Supreme Court in Ger
mania Bank Case Of Great In.
terest to Jacob Pfenninger.

A Ramsey County case of great in
forest to the stockholders Of the de-
funct Germania Bank Of St. Paul was
decided by the state supreme court on
Friday in the appeal of Ernst Albrecht
from the decision of the district
court in suit brought against him by
Gustav Willius, receiver of the bank.
The receiver sought to recover GER
tain sums from Mr.. Albrecht on stock
liability. Mr.. Albrecht set up the
statue of limitations as defense. The
district court decided against him,
but the supreme conrt reverses this
decision and uphold Albrecht's con-
tention.
The position of the supreme court is
that where two forms of procedure
exist TO enforce the super-added liabil-
ity of the stakeholder in corporation,
the statute of Limitations ,ommenees
to run from. the time VI suit might
have been brought against the stock
holder under either form of procedure.
This case is of particular interest in
this city inasmach as Jacob Pfenninger
was one of the stockholders of the de-
funet bank and had been requested to
pay to the receiver the sum of ST., 900,
or the full amount of his stock, as
super added liability. Had the receiv-
er been sustained in his against
Mr.. Albrecht, it is certain that suit
would have been instituted against the
New Ulm man.
