BOSTONIANS STILL LAUGH
AT GOVERNORS GULL

by Governor Foss in his Lincoln Day

South Omaha Custer
Suit Argued Before
the Supreme Court
CFrom a start Correspondent.l

NFIOUl a Hldll NblftSpOlliAttlAsl
LINCOLN. Neb., Dec. ESPECIAL Tele-
gram -Arguing that the supreme court
has no original jurisdiction in the case
and that the mayor should have been i'm
cluded with the defendants to the action,
the motion to quash the custer proceed
ings against Fire and Police Commission
ers Ryan and Pivonka of South Omaha
was heard before the supreme court to-
day.
The attorneys for the defense asserted
that the nonenjoner of the mayor with
the two commissioners was an obvious
defect of the suit and one that should
throw 1t out of court Ruling on the mo-
ton to quash will be forthcoming in the
near future.
Deputy Attorney General Ayres de-
clared to the court that the attorney
general had filed the suit in accordance
with the recommendation by the governor
and that the original information
charged only Commissioners Ryan and
Pivonka with the alleged misconduct in
office. He argued that the two could
be tried separately If necessary and that
the case might be called a misjonder,
but not properly a nohjoinder.
The motion before the court will not
be decided before the first Of the year,
in all probability and in the course Of
time it is expected that 1t will be finally
disposed Of. A similar suit against Chief
CT Police Donahue. of Omaha is pending
at the present time, the first papers In
the case having been filed in July, 1910.
