Liquor Cases to BE Advanced.
The supreme court this morning changed
Its rule to provide for the Advancement Of
liquor cases where It was shown that by
taking its turn on the calendar the liquor
license would run out before the case could
be decided. The new rule was adopted
upon motion OF j. c. Martin, an attorney
OF Central City. MI. Martin represents the
demonstrators in a case where a liquor IL
cense has been issued to a man named
Powell. A remonstrancs was filed and over
ruled and the case taken to the district
court where the saloonkeeper was again
successful. Mr.. Martin, on behalf of the
demonstrators appealed the case. He
figures, however. that it would be at least
a year before the court would get around
to pass on the case and by that time the
saloon keepef would have had the benefit
Of the license. Hence he made the motion
for the adoption Of the new rule and the
court approved It. The point at issue in
the case Is whether eighty freeholders In
the village OF Chapman signed the petition
for the license. E4
Sentiment for Taft.
A. L. Taylor Of Tekamah, was a caller
at the republican state headquarters last
night after travelling extensively over the
state: a.i5f
II find sentiment for Mr.. Taft very
strong said Mr.. Taylor, wherever I
have been. i rode on the train several
miles the ether day. with a minister, and we
began to discuss Mr.. Bryan. He said:
M Bryan Is a splendid man. I read
his lecture on the Prince of Peace" and
1 believe It to be the greatest article I
ever read in that line. 1t is magnificent.
Mr.. Bryan is surely a splendid man, a
good man and a Christian man."
You will vote for Mr.. Bryan?" Taylor
asked.
mo, 1 shall not vote for him. l shall
vote for Mr.. Taft, because l believe the
country would be in safer hands with the
election of Mr.. Taft"
This is the sentiment among a lot of
ministers. They told me Mr.. Bryan is a
good man, but they believe the safety of
the country demands the election of Mr..
Taft"
]. H. Culver OF Milford has Just returned
from a visit through Wisconsin and at re-
publican state headquarters last night he
said that state was for Taft and the fol-
lowers Of La Toilette would pot vote for
Bryan. "I met many men on the train
who were great admirers of Senator La
Toilette he said. ran they rofd me they
intended TO vote ,for. Taft. Right after tho
knstiessei e6nssneAas several sof stheTn talked
OF boiling the, ticket. but now the republic
can party was united and would be for
Taft" ~
Express Company Gains Point.
Ralph Breckenridge. as attorney for the
express companies In the injunction suit
brought by the attorney general to enforce
the Sibley act, gained a point this after
noon before Referee Sullivan by obtaining
an admission from L. f. Wettling, witness
for the state, that his deductions were
partly erroneous and would have to be re-
vised. Mr., Wettling's tabulation of reve-
nues and expenses Of the business Of the
Wells-Fargo Express company was based
on testimony taken in New York City in a
similar suit in the Federal court.
The attorney general and Mr.. Wettling
presumed that 1t had been stipulated that
this testimony should be used in both the
state and feleral cases. II there is no such
stipulation Referee Sullivan holds it cam
not be used in the state case.
This tabulation filed by Mr.. Wettling was
of the business of the company for the year
1907. If Mr.. Wettling has to revise his fig
ures he admitted that his deductions would
be different from the tabulation filed.
