CHILDREN TO HELP
BUILD NEW SAVING INSTITUTE
Fortunate Ones Are Asked to GiVS
Ten Cents to the
Fund.

Public school children are to be asked for
10 cents apiece toward the fund for the
erection OF the Child Saving Institute. The
nursery committee, composed OF thirty-five
women. secured permission for this from
the Board OF Education.
The plan is to induce the pupils TO con-
tribute 10 cents each, the estimated value
of a brick for the foundation walls OF the
new Child Saving Institute building. Every
child who pays 10 cents shall have his
name placed in The cornerstone, and a
child who pays so cents will receive five
shares, certifying that he has paid for five
bricks for the foundation. Names OF all
children contributing will be deposited in
the cornerstone of the new structure.
Fifty juvenile committees will give the
pupils OF every school In the city an oppor-
tunity to contribute and the collectors will
report to the nursery committee the names
of all contributors.
Representatives of the committee may be
reached at any hour of the day by tele-
phoning Douglas POSI- or by calling at room
A-S0, parlor floor, Hotel Rome.
A subscription for 800 has Just come
from the sand hills in northwest Nebraska.

RIGHTS OF INDIAN HEIRS
Legal Status of Illegal Children to
Be Tested in Court.
FIRST CASE OF THE CHARACTER
salt VIII he Brought by Hiram
Chase. indian Lawyer, Refer
ence Children of an
Omaha Chief.

Hiram Chase. the Indian lawyer OF the
Omaha reservation anc county attorney Of
ThuTston county was in Omaha Wednes-
day to file a peculiar suit in the United
States circuit court. The question arises
as to the legal status as restduary legatees
OF the children OF a concubine Of an Omaha
Indian chief, and as to whether they are
equal heirs-at-law with the children of tho
legally married wife of the chief.
"Polygamy has been more or less recog-
nized among all Indian tribes. but where
the Indians become citizens Of states in
which polygamy is Illegal, the question
arises at once as to the legal status of the
different groups OF children. said Mr.,
Chase. THE present case is one wherein
the chief was legally married, reared a
family. and subsequently took a concubine.
from whom were other offspring. The
chief died leaving two groups OF children.
and the question nov arises whether the
children of the coneubine shall participate
in the estate equally will the children of
the legal wife. both of whom are living.
''The question is one that has never been
brought 10 the attention of the United
States courts. and l am here TO consult
with the court and qualified lawyers as
to bringing the case to issue. represent
the children OF the legally married wife
and II will probably be filed during the

Mrs. White also called herself Mrs.
Reed at least part OF the time while she

promise to wed.
Mrs. White is not now in Omaha, so far
as known, none of her acquaintances hav-
ing seen her subsequent to February s,
when she or at least a woman OF the same
name sold a lodging house at SH North
Nineteenth street.
Mrs. White occupied several residences
here at different times, and rented them
10 dodgers. She was at one time in the
flats over the stores opposite the Rome
hotel and later at 2O2S Farnam, which is
her directory address. The number some

ARISES BETWEEN TWO WOMEN
One sorrows EgGs when ERRs Are

More Eggs.

Judges OF the district court of Douglas
county have been lured and invelgled into
discussing the now famous Pittsburg egg
case. Readers of Geographic news Items
will remember that some time ago Mrs.

door OF Mrs. Browns residence and, as

Gosen and Mrs. Wagner prepared to liqui-
date her Indebtedness. The boy once more
appeared at the back door, a dozen eggs
in tow, and offered them TO Mrs. Brown.
That woman refused the tender and de-

the present equivalent Of the ~oriinally in

Forthwith the matter got into court. A
Pittsburg Judge si~destepped the grave

himself with bindins both women over to
keep the peace.

eral liability act relating to the labl-
ity of common carriers, by railroads en-
gagged in commerce between states. \
demurrer to the complaint was sus
tanned and judgment rendered for the
defendant. The decision upholds Judge
Ralph Wheeler of the superior court,
who had declared unconstitutional the
act in question in the Mondou case In
his opinion Chief Justice Baldwin said:
1.-The act OF Congress now in ques-
ton creates a statutory right of ac-
ton. 1t is one not existing in common
law nor in chancery 1t is one which,
if warranted by the constitution of the
United States may, under their general
laws regulating to the jurisdiction of
the circuit courts of the United States
whenever damages exceeding $4,000 are
claimed, be made the subject of judi
clal proceedings in the courts of the
United States as a suit of a civil ma
ture arising under the laws of the
United States. without reference to
the citizenship of the parties.
Two questions present themselves
at the threshold of the present case.
First. is whether Congress intended by
this act to authorize the institution of
an action under it in the courts of the

state. The second is whether if such
We're it's intentions, it had power to
make it incumbent on the state courts
to assume jurisdiction.
"At common law a servant cannot
recover from his master for injuries
received from the negligence of a fell
low servant acting in the same line
of employment. Congress has now
seen fit to give an action where the
common law denied it,
Chief Justice Baldwin then goes into
the law on the question of damages as
laid down by various courts of juris-
diction, including the supreme court
of the United States. He further says:
Congress did not intend by the act
of April %. 1905 to authorize the insti-
tuition of an action under it in the
courts of the states.
''2-It had no power to make it in
cumbent on the state courts to assume
jurisdiction of such an action.
'3-The issues for the superior court
involved the consideration of these
points, which justified of themselves
the dismissal of the plaintiffs action.
but further.
"4-The act, so far as it concerns this
cause, is wholly void by reason of GER
tain of it's provisions which cannot be
separated from the rest
