OMAHA COMPLAINT DISMISSED

LINCOLN, Feb 2S.-(Specal)-Many cor
porations that failed to pay the tax Inn
posed by the law enacted by the late legis-
lature and whose charters have been can
celled are now anxious to get back into
business in Nebraska without, having to
re-incorporate. One corporation sent an at
torney to the secretary Of state today for
information.
This corporation, which owns the Miller
and Paine corner in Lincoln, failed TO pay
its occupation tax and so its charter was
forfeited. The lawyer desires TO know II
the corporation could not do business In
Nebraska how could It even turn over It's
property to a successor.
In answer to that question the secretary
of state cited a section of the law which
is as follows:
Section g. In all cases of forfeiture under
the provision Of this act the directors OF
managers in office Of the aftalrs OF any
domestic corporation whose charter may pc
so forfeited or of any foreign corporatlon
whose right to do business IN TINS stsISo ttSe
| may be forfeited are deemed to be trustees
| of the corporation and stockholders OF
| members of the corporation whose poWess
or right to do business IS IoriSleu, aaS a4ho
! have full power to settle the aftalrs OF t tls
| corporation and to maintain or defenu any
! action or proceeding as may be necessary
to fully settle the affairs OF SAID COIL :
such such trustees. may be sued in any Of the
! courts of this state by any person having
| a claim against any of said corporations

cellency and lead the applause in very
short time
Horace Bishop, steward of the Lincoln
asylum, is figuring on getting up oele-
bration in honor of the birthday or WlllaH
]. Bryan. At this time only two speakers
have been discussed, Governor shalleh-
berger and George w. Berge.
Should all the state institutions send III
rooters perhaps their noise and applause
for the governor would scare Mr.. Berse ou'
Of running for his place and influence MIN

Bishop has met with members OF the
county committee and discussed the mat
