THE REFERENDUM PETITIONS.

THE REFERENDUM PETITIONS
The editor of the Observer was ir
Salem yesterday afternoon, and
through the courtesy of Secretary Of
State Olcott, was permitted to exam
inc the recently filed petitions invok-
ing the referendum on the University
and Normal School appropriations
While in no way pretending to be an
expert, an experience of twenty years
in declphering all kinds of hand
writing in a newspaper office has, we
think, made us somewhat familiar
with the peculiarities and eecentrici-
ties of chirography. If placed on the
witness stand, we would have to
swear that, in our opinion, large
number of the signatures to these
petitions were written by the same
hand. This seems to be the unani-
nous opinion of the many persons
who have inspected the lists since they
were filed in the Secretary's office.
Secretary Olcott. himself, does not
hesitate to say that he believes a
large number of the signatures are
cation of several petitions from Port
land has convinced him that this Is
true, In numerous instances, it has
been found that no such street num-
bers as are given by the pretended
signers are to be found. Taking the
street numbers as they actually run.
many of the addresses given in these
petitions would be those of houses
built in the middle of the Willamette
River
A few of the petitions bear every
evidence of genulneness, and such may
be picked out at a glance. On the
greater number of these petitions,
many signatures appear in ink. On
the lists under suspicion, the names
are invariably written with lead
pencil or an fndelible pencil, not
withstanding the fact that in this day
and age practically nine out of ten
business men carry fountain pen or
else use an Office pen in signing their
names TO documents. 1t is also no.
ticeable that on but few of the petit
tions are to be found names written
in modern business hand Ninety
nine out of one hundred names are
crudely written, and about the only
the changes from sloping hand to a
back hand, and from back hand to
a sloping hand. If these petitions are
genuine, there are more back hand
writer's In Portland than most of us
had imagined existed in the whole
United States.
1t seems almost an absolute GER
tainty that wholesale fraud has been
practiced In the preparation Of these
petitions, but the work of proving
this fraud as to each particular sigma
ture under suspicion would be hope
less task. Less than $500 names are
required by law to refer a measure in
this state, and these petitions contain
more than 1900 signatures. When
Il Is remembered that thousands of
dollars are often spent. and the ma
ohinery of the law is kept in operation
for many weeks, in an effort to prove
the fraudulence of single signature
the impossibilIty OF proving 5000
names to be fraudulent is fully APP
preciated.
II would seem, therefore, that these
petitions win have to stand. unless the
courts shall come to the rescue and
declare in effect that III false in one.
they must be held false in ALL" And
this is precisely what an overwhelm-
ing majority Of the people OF the state
are hoping the courts will do.

ROW OVER THE BOND OF
DODGE COUNTY TREASURER

FREMONT, Neb., Dec. 1S-(Special.)-
The county board spent a good part Of
Saturday Strengthening out peculiar sit
uatlon over the county treasurer's bond.
Treasurer Morris Horstmsn filed a surety
company bond, properly executed. some
time ago, but changing his mind and
wishing to patronize another company
he procured the bond, erased his sigma
ture and filed a bond In the preferred
company. The board decided that having
filed bond he had no right to change
1t In any way, but allowed him to with
draw the first bond and substitute the
other. The, board then declined to APP
prove the other bond, because the condi-
ton of the company was not satisfactory
unless it refnsured a part of the risk.
In the meantime other agents of surety
companies got into the game and wanted
to write the whole risk. The matter was
finally settled after consultation over the
telephone with Attorney General Martin
by the second company executing the
an agreement to reinsure a part of the
risk and the approval OF their boHl.

Jury Bribery Case
Not Yet Up to Martin
lFrom a SOD Correspondentl

(trom starr correspondent
LINCOLN. Dec. rs Especial. )-Attorney
General Martin said today that the
Omaha street railway charter forfeiture
matter growing out OF the alleged jury
fixing had not reached him, and in ad-
vance of such official reference did not
care to comment on the case. Asked
whether action such as charged against
the street railway company would be
ground for forfeiting its charter, he de-
clined to express an opinion for the same
reason. lie said no member OF the Omaha
Bar association had informally even
brought the matter to his attention, and
all he knew about II was what he had
seen in the newspapers. Tht Kemmerling
case, out of which the present cutlery
arises, was familiar to the office, as Kem-
merling's appeal was argued by Deputy
Attorney General Edgerton.
While the Bar association had not COM
municated with the attorney generals
office, there are indications that the street
railway company had not been losing any
time. One of Attorney General Martin $
visitors today was John l.. Webster, gem
eral counsel for the street railway COM
pany. He was coseted with the attorney
general for some time, and at the con-
clusion of the conference both the attor-
ney general and Mr.. Webster said the
conference was over legal matters of an
other nature and that the street railway
matter was mentioned onl intellectually.

BROKEN BOW FARMER IS
SERIOUSLY HURT IN FIGHT

BROKEN BOW Neb., Dec. 1S-(spe-
cial )--As the result of a neighbors' quar-
rel between Charles Willis and Richard
Huff, two well known farmers, the latter
is suffering from a dangerous wound on
the head, inflicted, it is said, by an iron
stake. 1t appears that Huff has been
leasing some ground OF Willis about ten
miles southeast of here and the quarrel,
which has been of long standing, broke
out afresh over a fence boundary. Ac-
cording to the statement Of Willis, Huff
was the aggressive party and he struck
him with the iron pin In self-defense.
Huff, however, says that without provo
cation Willis seized the weapon and, us
ing both hands, struck him over the head
with It. Then after he had fallen jumped
on him and continued the assault. DR..
Pennington, who attended the wounded
man, says Hufrs head Is dangerously
hurt and that part Of the ear is also torn
from the head. A warrant has been
sworn out for the arrest OF Willis.
