HOME FOR FRIENDLESS WINS
Supreme Court Rules that it is Emit
tied to Appropriation.

wins Case.
From a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN. Neb.. June 25~.-(Special Tele-
Eram)-The supreme court holds that
appropriation made by the late legisla-
ture for the State Public School for De
pendent Children are specific appropria-
tions for the Iome for the Fricndless. The
wit OF mandanius was ISSUED requiring
state Auditor Barton to issue warrants
on vouchers filed by the superintendent
OF the Home for the Friendless for the
epay1nent OF salaries OF the employees.
The late legislature provided by law for
L cnanEing the name of the Home for the
Fri,ndless to state Public School for De
pendent Children. This law goes into of-
feet July 2 The legislature made no APP
preparation for the support of the Home
for the Friendless, but did for the school,
which would leave the home without funds
from March TO July 2, when the home goes
out Of existence.
The opinion written by Judge Root takes
the view that the legislature intended to
change the name, but continue the lnsti-
tuition of the Home for the Friendless.
Judge Rose dissenting, concurs in what
he calls the spirit Of kindness in which
the writ is allowed, but dissents from the
proposition OF law OH which tho judgment
is based. Judge Rose says no specific
appropriation was made under the head
OF the state Public School Of lincoln
to pay the wages of present employees at
tie Home for the Friendless for the month
of April. and strict adherence to the con-
stitutionai, provision relating to the dis
bursement OF public funds is necessary to
the proper financial management Of the
state government. Il fear the precedent
established" he says, will be cited in the
future to justify the misapplication of
public funds and the wrongdoing Of pub
lie officers"
Myra e. Briggs Wins Suit.
judgement for 5000 given in Cunning
county in favor of Myra f. Briggs, against
the Royal Highlanders, has been affirmed
by the supreme court. Suit was on a policy
held by her husband. The Royal High
landers refused to pay the amount of the
policy on the ground that the insured com
mitted suicide. The plaintiff assailed the
suicide clause in the regulation Of the Roya
Highlanders on the ground that II was
adopted by the executive castle, which, 1t
was alleged. was not a representative body
The court holds as II did in the case OF
Lang against Royal Highlanders, where a
fraternal benefit association has not COM
piled with the state law and adopted a
representative form Of government its gov
erning body is without power to adopt a
bylaw changing the terms and obligations
of a mutual benefit certificate.

HER KISS ENDS LIFE
German Bride Tells of Love and Is
Shot Down-LOng Island Mystery
Is Solved.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-A year and
half ago a friendless girl was muir
dered near Islip, l.. l. A week ago the
skeleton was found with nothing to
identify it but her iewelry and a bill
of sale from German shop Three
days later, through the police of Ham
burg her identity was established as
Anna Luther. Tonight her husband,
Frederick Gebhart, confessed over his
signature that he was the murderer
In a brief confession he states that
he, Gebhardt, married the girl in Feb
ruary, 1908, having known her a
couple of months. After the trip to
this country and back, he took the
girl to Islip to look at some property
he wanted her to buy. He had words
with her, ending in his telling her he
had another wife and child and want
ed to go back to them. He said she
began crying and telling him that she
loved him and kissed him. AS she
put her face up to kiss him again,
Gebhart says he shot the girl. After
shooting the woman he took the train
back home. Gebhardt refused to con-
feSs until shown letter to the Ger
man consul signed lotto Mueller
This letter said that he was hus-
band of Anna Mueiier and that he
last saw her in Florida. where he had
taken her for her health. There, he
says she met a man named Bradley,
of Denver, with whom she disap-
peared. AS soon as Gebhardt saw the
letter he grew white and began to
shiver and before the reading was
completed exclaimed: ooh, what's the
use, anyway; you have me and l
might as well own Killed her."
Gebhardt was discovered by police
by the tracing of two police dogs
which were purchased by Gebhardt
while going under the name of
Mueller in Germany. When he was
located living in Astoria. l.. l., his
house was searched, revealing guam
tity of woman's finery marked "A. L."

Commissioner Thomas Estill, of the
salvation Army who comes shortly
to North Yakima for an address, is
one of the most efficient leaders in the
army as well as an orator of unusual
power. An equally good officer is Mrs
Estill. whose work amnog women has
been productive of great good. Mrs.
Estill will not stop off in North Yaki-

tinue on to the coast, where she is to

Big Success i'm Chicago.
Commissioner and Mrs. Estill car
ried on last month a campaign in Chi
cago which was the means of arousing
much interest in the work of the army
and of making a number of converts.
Music played an important part in the
campaign, Commissioner Estill having
two brass bands for use in his marches
and open air meetings. One afternoon
was given over to an indeer musical
at which the army bands gave a
splendid program.

Dry Farming i'm Dakota.
j. M Sheppard, dean and vice presi-

the progress of dry land farming in his
state. He said in part:
our 20 demonstration farms, a
great majority of which are in the dry

land farming methods are increas

hundred per cent. This indicates the
great needs of education by demon

dry land districts.
Land values are always features
which give indication of progress in

The suspended employees declare that

Wife and Children Of New Haven Pa.
tent Traced to Germany.

New Haven, Conn, June G.
Charles Won Osten. the Grace Hospital
patient whose inability to recall his
past or his identity, has puzzled the
physicians at that institution, has
been identified by photograph and de-
scription as having lived with his wife
and two children up to 1903 in
Hobeken. N. j. The identification is
said to have been made by former
employer, August Merkel, of that city.
Won Osten afterward secured en-
ployment on a North German Lloyd

came a stewardess on the same
steamer The two children were taken

finance committee. He declared that
Senators Aldrich and Smoot of that
committee were at variance in their
estimates of the effect of the commit
tees action on the cotton schedule, the
former contending that there had been
change of only 10 per cent. while Mr..
Smoot had placed the change at 80 per
cent.
Mr.. Aldrich was prompt in his cor
rection of this statement, asserting
that his use of the 10 per cent. es-
innate applied to cotton importations
affected by the bill and not to change
in duties. Mr. Dollver also gave
much attention to petition signed by
leading merchants of New York for
the retention of the Dingley law rates
on cotton, and when Mr.. Aldrich at
tempted to show that most of the sig
natures were those of importers, the
Iowa senator replied by reading the
names of many who were not.
