Judge Cornish
Knocks Out the
Nonpartisan Law
Holds the Measure to Be Unoonsti-
tutional Because of It's
Terms.


LINCOLN, June 26.-(Special Judge
Cornish Of the district court Of Lancaster
county held the nonpartisan judiciary law
enacted by the late legislature to be in
violation OF the state constitution. lie
ordered Secretary OF State Junkin to ac-
cept the filing presented by John M
Reagan as a republican candidate for su-
prone Judge and place his name on the
primary ballot. The case will be appealed
to the supreme court. Judge Cornish held
the law is in violation of section p of the
bill OF rights of the constitution, which
reads as follows: 'All elections shall be
free and there shall be no hindrance or
impediment to the rights Of a qualified
voter to exercise the elective franchise"
General John c. Gown Of Omaha and c.
o. Whedon of Lincoln appeared for Reagan
and Deputy Attorney General Martin and
Arthur Mullen appeared for the secretary
Of state. General Gown held that the
law is unconstitutional because it hinders
the eector The court did not go into
the details Of the objections to the law, but
simply held it bad from the constitutional
standpoint.
In his argument MIR. Mullen raised the
point that the case had been brought
against the wrong party. The law pro-
vides that the candidate shall present to
the secretary of state the receipt for the
filing fee which is paid to the county treas
urer in the home county Of the candidate.
In the petition it was set out that the
county treasurer of Adams county refused
to accept the filing fee Mullen held the
attorneys for Reagan should have brought
the suit against the county treasurer of
Adams county.

This Information was obtained from
Ii Sing, a Chinese waiter in the restau-
rant conducted by Sam Palmer. at "a
Market street, and from James Halstead
the hack driver, employed by Leon Ii
Sing told the police that Leon brought
the trunk to the restaurant at 2 a. m,
June 10 and asked Ii II he could leave
it there for two days until he found a
place to put it. Ii refused permission
but told the police he did not know the
contepts of the trunk.
Ii allowed Leon to leave the trunk in
the restaurant until noon, however, when

that Leon called to see him two days
