Senator Norris Brown.

the Among them is no less char
acter than the splendid man and valiant
veteran Speaker Nettleton. He has lived to
see the principles he fought for so long tri-
umphant. Foremost and ablest among these
leaders was the late lamented Edward Rose
water For a generation this gre It man,
with steadfast purpose and unfaltering de-
votion, fought the peoples battle. The
state owes him a monument of love and
gratitude.
Congress Has Power.
81 believe Congress has power to pass a
law which shall provide in federal courts of
equity the same rights of non-residents of
the state that are provided for residents in
state courts of equity. The revenue law of
this state expressly denies to the citizen of
the state the right of a state court of equity
to enjoin collection of taxes assessed against
him by the taxing officers unless the levy
be for an illegal or unauthorized purpose;
but this is a state statute 1t affects only
state courts. 1t does not reach and there
fore does not limit the jurisdiction of the
federal courts. There being no federal
statute of like import a nonresident is
therefore permitted to enter the federal
court and by injunction delay collection Of
his taxes on property assessed and protect
ed by the laws of this state 1t is only
right and fair that all persons owning prop
erty in Nebraska should be treated alike.
whether they reside within without the
state. For that reason / hope to be able to
assist in amending the federal statute so
that injunction in tax matters may have
the same limitations in the federal courts
as now exist in the state courts.
Industrial System.
Il believe the present industrial system
of the country is right and should be main
tained Tariff schedules may be changed,
but the protective principle should not be
abandoned or impaired
Il believe in the republican plan of regu-
lation and control of the great transporta-
ton lines of the country. l have too much
faith in the power and supremacy of this
government to doubt its ability to compel
railroad corpora lions to treat the public
fairly, and / firmly believe the government
will be BILE to enforce corrective and regu-
latory measures that the public welfare
will be promoted and the rights of the
transportation companies fully protected.
Il believe in all the great principles to
which the republican party is committed.
That party has written the history of the
nation A prosperous country and a happy
people testify to the wisdom and rectitude
of it's policies
Il believe in the patriotism and wisdom
of our brave President, Theodore Roosevelt
May God bless him in his fight for you and
me. What privilege, what honor, to
pledge you my sincerest efforts to support
him in that fight And, friends, in that eff
fort 1 hope to have the moral encourage
ment and support of all the people of this
great state

MAGIC BooTMAKER's CASE.
DR." Whitehouse Admitted He Was
No M. D., but Ex-Pugilist,

prof" Matthew Hilgert, the magic"
bootmaker, who is under indictment for
grand larceny, testified in his own behalf
in the criminal branch of the supreme
court in New York city yesterday after
noon before Justice Fitzgerald and jury.
When the case was adjourned Hilgert had
not completed his direct examinatio To-
day Hilgert will finish his story and then
will be subjected to severe cross examina-
ton by Assistant District Attorney Hart
A verdict is hoped for today.
Hilgert said he was born in Galena,
ILL.,, forty-three years ago; was a shoe
maker by trade and that for seven gener-
atoms the Hilgerts had been in the shoe
business. The professor said that he be-
came a scientific bootmaker after he had
succeeded in curing trouble with his own
feet. He denied that he had ever told any,
body that his shoes were charged with cleo
trcity, but said that the secret of his sue
cess was in the fact that he had succeeded
in furnishing mechanical contrivances to
give proper balance to a shoe when on the
wearer's foot.
Several men and women testified that
since wearing the magic shoes they had
been comforted if not cured.
Jointly indicted with Prof Hilgert is
Albert Whitehouse, who was better known
as DR. Whitehouse. Yesterday the doc
tor" admitted on the stand that he was not
a doctor at all, although he had been in
troduced by Hilgert as "Dr. Whitehouse -
1t developed upon crosS-eXamination that
the doctor was once prize fighter
land pretty good one at that he proudly
testified.

REBELLION ON WANE
FOLLOWERS OF MOROCCAN PRE-
TENDER LOSING HEART.

TANGIER, January 1S.-Reports from
Selouan, south of Melilla, where the Moroc-
can pretender has his camp, indicate that
his followers, since the appearance of Ell
Guebbas and the sultan's troops at Tangier,
are growing lukewarm and that an ener-
getic movement probably would soon finish
the remains of the rebellion which the pre-
tender has been conducting for several
years. Moreover, the indications are that
the pretender, who calls himself Mulai- Mo-
hammed, and claims to be an elder brother
of the sultan, fully realizes the treachery
among his supporters. and instead of maxi
ing a fight would probably cross the border
and ask for protection of the French in Al
geria. where he is understood to have de-
posted the principal proceeds of his booty.
Has No Heir.
The pretender latterly has practically
abandoned his military and religious role
Although he has thirty-one wives he has
no sons, and this furnishes an additional
reason why the Bocyas, Kebdanas and
Guelayas, the tribes which have followed
his banners. are the more disposed TO de-
sert. Should he die they would be without
a leader, and at the mercy of the soldiers
of Abdul-AZz. Besides, there is no doubt
that many of the tribesmen have been
obliged to support the pretender through
fear.
Blown From Cannon
StoriNs of the cruelties with which he has
terrorizAi the inhabitants almost incred-
ible. Those even suspected of disloyalty
have been dragged to Selouan In chains and
subjected to tortures. Some time ago Keb-
dana suspect was bound to the mouth of
cannon and blown to pieces. Another who
had been obliged to give hospitality TO a
scouting party of FL Guebbas' troops was

dragged the body through the camp and
the neighboring villages as warning.

WO SUITS BEGUN
TO TEST THE JAPANESE SCHOOL
QUESTION.

The United States has begun two suits in
San Francisco for the purpose of enforcing
the provisions of the treaty with Japan
giving to the Japanese equal school advan-
tages One of these actions is brought in
the supreme court of the state of California
in the name of a Japanese child for the pur-
pose Of obtaining a writ of mandamus to
compel his admission to one OF the pubic
schools, from which he is excluded by the
action of the board of education. The pro-
ceeding in this action is against the prln-
cipal of the school in the name of Jap
anese child, but to this petition is appended
a request signed by the Attorney General
of the United States to The effect that the
United States be made party to the rec
ord for the purpose of enforcing its treaty
obligations with Japan, or, II such cannot
be done in accordance with the practice OF
the court, that it be permitted to appear by
its proper law officers and be heard to urge
the granting Of the relief prayed in the Pc
tition The second suit Is very compre-
hensive bill in equity filed by the United
States in the federal circuit court, in which
the members of the board of education, the
Superintendent of schools and all the prin-
cipals of the various primary and grammar
schools of San Francisco are made defend
ants.
Allegations Substantially the Some.
The allegations in both proceedings are
substantially the same, but In the bill in
equity filed by the government the various
facts upon which the government relies are
set out at greater length. In both proceed
ings the government alleges the execution
Of the treaty with Japan In 1895, which pro-
vides that "in whatever relates to the rights
of residence and travel the subjects of each
party to the treaty shall enjoy in the terri
tories of the other 1.-The same privileges, lib
critics and rights as citizens or subjects of
the most favored nation" The state of Cal
ifornia having expressly provided that every
school in district must be open to all chill
dren of school age resident within the said
district, the privilege of such attendance is
alleged to be clearly one of the said rights
of residence" for Japanese children resident
in that state to be enjoyed on the footing
of the most favored nation.
The bill sets forth that the state of Cali
fornia, in its constitution, provides for a
general system Of education, and by the
laws of that state and also by the charter
Of San Francisco these public schools are
supported in part by taxes levied upon
all property in the state; but the govern
ment alleges that it also, in part, supports
the schools of California, and for that
purpose In 1853 made grant Of over S.,
600 900 acres of public lands and has also
made large grants of other lands for pur-
poses of education, and as recently as

June 81 1906, passed an act giving to the
state of California per cent of the net
proceeds of the cash sales of the public
lands therein made by the United States
since the admission of said state, to aid
in the support of its common schools. The
bill alleges that in conformity with the
provisions of this act the sum of $S0S, 119. II
has been certified to the treasury of the
United States for payment, and of this
amount the sum of s42s, 27l.61 has been
paid and the balance will be paid in due
course of administration.
The Governments Charge.
The government charges that the pro-
visions made by it for the benefit of Cali
fornia could be rightly made and were
made in fact only with the understanding
and intent that all schools other insti
buttons to be benefited thereby would be
conducted in conformity with the Consti
tuition of the United States and with all
treaties made by the authority of the
United States, which treaties 1t is en-
phatcally affirmed, constitute the supreme
law of the land, anything in any state con-
stitution or law to the contrary notwith
