Woman's Right to Hold
City Office at Stake
Case from Alma Involving Two
Offices Has Been Appealed to
High Tribunal.
(From a staff Correspondents

LINCOLN July H-(Special Whether
the members of the state supreme court
are going to prove themselves masters of
the occasion when they take up the case
of Jean Mckee, relator. against Robert
Porter or whether they will yield to the
laws of the knight errantry will be shown
in a case which is before that tribunal at
the present. time. The question involved Is
whether a woman can hold a municipal
office and comes from Alma, the home
of Ex-Governor Shallenberger. Railway
Commissioner Furse and others who have
filed for state offices this fall.
At the last city election In the Harlan
county town Jean Mckee was elected city
treasurer without the least opposition. At
the same time Mrs. J. II. Hubbard was
elected city clerk. These offices were
held by Robert Porter and A. A. Billings,
respectively. They declined to give them
up to the women when their terms had
expired and instituted quo warranto pro-
eeedings. While their attorney was hus-
Ting around getting petitions in proper
order City Treasurer-elect Miss Mckee in
stituted a proceeding in mandamus to Sc
cure possession of the records of the Of
flee and the cash on hand. The city coun-
ell in the meantime had recognized her
claim to the office and had approved her
bond.
The affair, which was taken to the dis
trict court, was decided by Judge Harry
DUNCAN in the womans favor, but Mr.
Porter has appealed from that decision to
the state supreme court.
Among the questions at issue are
whether the quo warranto proceedings
barred the prosecution OF the case, and
another whether a woman not being ar
elector can hold an office.

Telegram 1.-The Iowa hotel men may agree
to conform TO the new Iowa law for san
itary conditions and fire escapes rather
than take the risk of wholesale prosecu-
tons
Their attorneys held a conference to-
day with the attorney general In regard
to the matter The hotel men appealed a
case to the United States supreme court
and secured a stay OF prosecution. but It
is claimed this applied only to the imme-
date case and did not prevent enforce
ment of the law generally. The state
factory Inspectors are preparing to pro-
coed against all hotels unless they comply
at once.
Deposit stations Illegal.
Branch banks or deposit stations for saw
ings banks are declared by Attorney Cen
eral Cosson to be Illegal 1t was found
that in ma number of cities of the state
the savings banks have branches in
stores and postal stations and receive de-
posts. The attorney general today ruled
this to be illegal.
Groccrs' Combine Smashed.
1t is learned hire that by reason of the
withdrawal Of leading firm of grocers,
the local combine of grocers is likely to
go to pieces and be disbanded. A system
attic Tight has been made recently to ex-
pose the methods of the combine and de-
spite all claims to the contrary the evil
dence appears to be that the grocers asso-
