CRISIS FACES STATE OF
ILLINOIS AS RESULT OF
SUPREME COURT DECISION

Springfield, Ill.,, Feb 2S.-The Im-
nois Supreme court today held the So
called university appropriation bili'
unconstitutional. The decision was in
the case of Neiberger VS.. Auditor Nc
CullerSh and the university trustees
The fight on the case centered upon
the failure of the legislature to print
the bill, following it's adoption in con-
ference, and entering the same as an
amendment in the journal
The court today was unanimous in
finding the bill should have been print
ed. but Justices Carter and Dunn dis
sent as to finding it should have been
entered in the journal.
AS a result OF the courts finding a
crisis faces the state. IL is believed
that the treasurer and auditor will
cease paying out any state funds, for
any purpose, as the entire amnibus
appropriation bill is ineffective.
Many Measures May Be illegal.
Attorney General Stead says the val
idity Of the bills passed for the last
forty years are involved. Important
measures affected are: the corpora
ton act.s jurors act. garnishment act.
Australian ballot act. judicial appro-
priation, senatorial apportionment. un-
der which members of the general as
sembly have been elected for the past
ten years. primary elections act. bank
ing act, and law and appropriation
laws.
The decision may precipitate a spe-
oial session of the legislature TO cor
rect the constitutionality OF the meas
ures affected
It is the concensus of opinion that
even should there be a special session
TO correct the faults of many bills, il
could not be called until after time is
given for a petition for re-hearing. It
Is believed the attorney general will
direct m the meantime that payments
under the general appropriation bill be
not held up.
