SEPARATE BALLOT
SYSTEM IS INVALID
Supreme Court of Nebraska
Knocks Out Nonpartisan judi
ciary Election Law
District Court Is Upheld and
Former Statute Continues
in Force
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


LINCOLN, Neb., July 12.-After an
all afternoon sitting the supreme court
of the state handed down a decision
declaring the Donohue nonpartisan
judiciary election law invalid. The
decree says:
The majority of the court holding
that the act is void, the judgment of
the district court is affirmed"
This means that the election of
judges of the supreme court. district
courts, regents of the state university,
county judges and county supeFinten-
dents by the use of separate ballots
cannot take place. The old law will
continue to hold.
The chief objection of the court was
to the provision requiring that of the
thousand names to be on a petition
for judge not more than 500 could
come from one county. The court de-
clared that it was hindrance to the
free exercise of the franchise and was
repugnant to the constitution of the
state. -Four of the six members sitting
believed this provision formed the
chief reason for the passage, and thus
invalidated the whole act.
c. o. Whedon and John c. Gown
represented the republican state CEN
trail committee in the test of the law.
which that body characterized as a
political measure calculated to give
the minority party in the state better
chance to elect judges of the supreme

STRIKERS ARE SHOT
BY DEPUTY SHERIFFS
Serious Trouble Anticipated at
Ely Mines

ELY. New. July 1.-THE first trouble
during the strike of 400 miners. mostly
Austrians, against the Veteran mine of
the Cumberland Ely company. occurred
last night, when two Austrian strikers,
George Pezini and George Milcino, were
shot by Deputy Sheriffs Edward Arnold
and Charles Smithy.
The Austrians, who had gone to
within a quarter of mile of the Vet
eran shaft. presumably to talk with
some of the other strikers. were seen
by the officers, who ordered them off
the company's property. They were
slow in moving and the deputies fired
on them One ball passed through
Pezini's hip, and Milcino was shot
through the feshy part of the lower
leg. Pezini may die, but Milcino is not
seriously wounded.
Neither officer would make any state
ment in regard to the affair. More
trouble is anticipated, as the shooting
may cause the strike to spread to
other mining companies in the camp.
