NOT A GOOD LAW
Court Says Nebraska Banking
Law Unconstitutional

Compulsory contribution to a bank
guaraty fund is unconstitutional, ac-
cording to the opinion filed Monday in
the federal court at Lincoln by Judge T.
c. Munger. The opinion strikes at the
very heart OF the guaranty idea.
Governor shallenberger, who had ex-
pected TO call special session of the
legislature to pass an act that would
pass The scruting OF the court, has given
up the idea, saying that The opinion
leaves the state absolutely no ground for
a compulsory law. The case will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court Of the Unit

Judge Munger, whose opinion was
concurred in by Circuit Judge Vande-

SANITARY JOBS
REPORTIONEO

Last night the Board of Supervisors,
on motion of Aylett, resolved to rescind
the approval of the Mayors appointees
of sanitary officers. Cox and Logan
voted against the resolution, on the
grounds that the officials had all been
satisfactorily performing their duties
and that the Boards approval of the
appointments was tantamount to reg
ular appointments by the Board au-
thorized by the new legislation.
Another resolution moved by Ay-
lett made nominations, the nominees
all being elected. Kane, seconded by
AHA, put up William Isaacs for fish
inspector in opposition to Lot c. Lane,
but AHA voted for Lane who was
elected in place of Williams, whom
the Mayor nad appointed in place OF
Lane, who had held over from the
Board of Health service
Thos. P. Cummins was elected SAM
tary inspector in place of Durao, who
had "queered" himself by complaining
about his job
An assistant fish inspector was ap-
pointed in the person of Albert Wood
ward, at $45 a month, on the repre-
sentation of Chairman Aylett of the
health committe that the office was
necessary. When the Chinese mar
ketmen paid for inspection there were
two inspectors and Williams had been
paying an assistant out of his own
pocket.
These were the only changes, officials
reappointed being: DR.. Bruce NOV.
Macka1i, city and county physician; Dr..
w. T. Monsarrat, meat inspector; j..
H. Miehlstein, plumbing inspector; j.
Vivichaves, sanitary inspector; LOUIS
K. Kane, morgue attendant.
Cox declined to vote on the appoint
ments for the same reasons as he had
voted against resembling appointments,
and was excused by unanimous con-
sent.
While Cox's vote was pending dis
cussion broke out between Mayor Fern
and Aylett IN the course of which the
Mayor declared he would have the
action of the Board tested in the courts
Although out of order this debate
was renewed at nearly every vote on
name, wasting a great deal of time
over a matter already decided On
two occasions the Mayor declined to
put the motion, smilingly requesting
Logan to put the "one, two, three pro-
cess in action.
Motions were carried to make the
appointments take effect on September
[ and that they be in lieu of the Ma
yor's appointments, the salaries to be
unchanged.

CHINA CRI7ICIzES
JAPAN ACTION
RELYING ON HER MILITARY SU-
PERIoRITY TO FORCE HER RAIL
WAY POLICIES IN MANCHURIA.

WASHINGTON, August 13.-That
China is suffering from a plain viola
ton of treaty stipulation on the part
of Japan is the statement made in a
memorandum furnished the State de-
partment by the Chinese legation in
regard to the issues arising out of the
Antung-Mukden railway.
1T is a matter of surprise and re-
great, therefore that Japan, relying on
her military ana naval superiority"
the memorandum says, ventures to
override reason and disregard the pro-
visions of the Picking convention"
1T is manifest" the statement con-
tinIes, that the object of Japan in
cOntending fror the reconstruction of
the line is not for commercial but for
military and strategic reasons. China
is already suffering much from the en-
croachments of the Japanese on her
powers of sovereignty in the South
Manchurian railway, in plain violation
of treaty stipulation. With this les
son in mind, the imperial government
was determined that questions of rail-
way guards and military police should
be discussed as soon as the negotia-
tions commenced. If Japan had adopt
ed reasonable attitude, the negotia-
lions would have been long concluded.
