TELEPHONE CONTRACT VOID
Court Refuses Injunction Asked for by
Independent Companies.
KEARNEY TO CONNECT WITH BELL

he Void, ~ Against Public Policy
tract to Connect win
Both Systems Enforceable.

HASTINGS Neb., Jan. 1~2-(Special Tel
egram.)-In a decision of widespread i'm
portance to telephone interests throughout
Nebraska, District Judge Corcoran of York
today held invalid that section Of a con-
tract entered into by various independent
companies by which they agreed not to
exchange toll business with the Nebraska
Telephone company. The ruling was made
in the suit instituted by the independent
companies of Grand Island, Hastings, Shell
ton, Kenesaw, York and other cities, all
constituting an associated system of indie
pendent lines over a large area Of central
Nebraska and an injunction was asked to
prohibit the Kearney Telephone company
from breaking its contract with other in
dependents and connecting with the Bell
system. All parties in the agreement bound
themselves to exchange business with each
other for a period ten years. Judge Cor
coran upholds this section of the contract
and allows the injunction as to that fea-
ture alone. The clause prohibiting connec-
ton with the Bell system is held contrary
to public policy. THE invalidity Of such a
provision" said Judge Corcoran, us so
patent and obvious it does not admit Of
a moments serious consideration.
The Independents must exchange with
each other according to the terms OF their
contract, but under Judge Corcoran's ruling
they cannot be enjoined from connecting
also with the Bell. The purpose of the
independent association as set forth in
their agreement, was to build up and ex-
tend their toll business in central Nebraska
with a view to destroying the monopoly
now held by the Nebraska Telephone COM
pany."

offered him." and that he would not re-
fuse the place If he could get it.
Among other names mentioned are those
of w. M. Giller and E. c. Page. both mem-
bers of the Omaha Board of Fire and Po-
lice commissioners Should one of these
be appointed there would be a vacancy on
the board which would make a berth for
another democrat Frank " aver and VIII
Herdman are others mentioned as possible
future supreme judges.
The theory that Governor Shallenberger
will appoint Lieutenant Governor Hopewell
as one of the judges seems to be well
grounded. The democrats say 1t is barely
possible that the governor might die before
the end of his term and in that event it
would be simply awful to have a repub-
lican lieutenant governor to become chief
executive. For this reason the governor
intends to perpetuate his dynasty If pos
sible.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-01-14

IF Governor Shallenberger is given the
power to appoint the supreme court judges
he will name Lieutenant Governor Hope
well as one of them, though he is a repub-
lican, in order TO make George w, T1bbets
of Adams county, president OF the senate,
the lieutenant governor. This is straight
goods. and is the key to Senator Frank
Ransom's determination to overthrow the
existing order OF things and secure a can
vass OF the votes and thereby give Gov
ernor Shallenberger the appointing power. -
This is the information given out at local
democratic headquarters. and with the
seeming assurance that the governor has
impaired the facts direct to'the leaders of
the Omaha democracy.
These leaders say the governor, II given
the power to appoint supreme court judges,
will name two republicans and two demo-
Gratis, They also say hat il Lieutenant
Governor HopeweII will accept the appoint
ment the new governor will name him to
that position. thus fulfilling the reported
ambition of the lieutenant governor and at
the same time making a vacancy for a
democrat.
Local Men I'm Line.
Should Governor Shallenberger appoint
the additional supreme court judges 1t is
said to be probable by local democrats thai
at least one of the appolntees will come
from Omaha, but who this would be Is
largely problematical so carry in the day.
One of the names mentioned is that OF

WANTS DIVORCE SET ASIDE
Wife Hears of Case After Decree Was
Granted and Obiects.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Jan. 1S.-(Spe-
cial)-At the last term of the district
court there was a divorce suit tried in
which Willis G.. Clark was plaintiff and
Mrs. f Clark defendant. 1t vas one of
those cases in which the defendant made
no answer and the plaintiff secured a
divorce by default. But little evidence
was introduced,
Now comes the wife, through her at
torneys. and states she had no notice of
the divorce proceedings and that for
years she had resided at Alexandra, S.
D., and 1t was only on January 6. 1909,
she learned OF the divorce. She denies
each of the charges of her husband and
charges that .he knew where she and her
four children were and calls attention to
the fact the husband never mentioned
anything about having four children in
his petition. Mrs. Clark charges that her
husband has been living with a woman
in Omaha for the last two years and is
worth $1,000 and gets a salary of 800
per month. She asks for a divorce, the
custody of the children, a judgment for
SIS, 900 and $50 per month for the support
of the children. The case promises to be
a very interesting one, and several of the
witnesses will be recalled by Judge Travis
to explain their testimony. 1t is more
than likely that a criminal prosecution
will grow out of the suit.
