Good Roads Law
Is Not Signed
Passes Both Houses, but Toe
Late to Get Governors
Signature Until After
Recess

The hopes Of the Good Roads adVO.
Gates in Lawrence County have zone
elimmerine in so far as the proposed
election for March 23, Is concerned.
The order Of the County Court for the
election was dependent entirely on the
passage Of a bill amendatOry Of the
bond issue law by the legislature.
This bill was passed BY hsssrs White
and Flseman before the recess, but the
great rush Of work at that time pre-.
vented its being enrolled and sent to
the Governor in time for him 10 attach
his signature and report il back 10 the
legislature in open session as the con.
stitutiOn requires. 1t cannot become a
law now until after the legislative re.
cess which lasts until March II, and
this will be too late for the election 10
be called as ordered by the County
Court.
The Court could, however, call an
election, when it meets for the April
term 10 be held along in May, and
this may be done. But for the present
the road question is knocked out in
Lawrence County.

Election Board
Adds COunCilmen
Messrs Buchanan and 0ilbreth
Authorize Election Of Ten
COuncilmen. Law
Says Eight

At meeting Of the Board Of
Election Commissioners on Tues
day of this week, the majority as
sumed q power never before exer-
Cised by an election board In this
state, when they issued an cleo
ton call authorizing the city to
elect ten cOunCilmen, when the
charter allows it TO have only
eight. A bill is pending In the
Legislature for the two extra Coun.
cilmen but did not become a Law
before the recess.
Messrs Buchanan and Gilbreth
issued this call over the protest
and without the signature OF Mr..
Wisdom.
In doing this they have virtual
ly undertaken to amend the char
ter, create and have elected new
officers which have no legal ex-
istence, a power lodged in the
legislature alone and never under
taken by any election board Oi
other body before, probably in the
history of our government.
In the opinion Of students oi
the law aud our system Of govern
ment, this was a great mistake.

Without rejecting in any way up
on the motives OF the majority
members of the board for they
are both men of recognized probity
and honor it is believed that the
OVerzealous advocates of the larger
board OVer.infuenced their better
judgement, and by cajolery and
promises that they wall get the
law passed later to sustain them,
led Messrs Buchanan and ,Gilbreth,
unthinkingly to do an unlawful
thing, and to make a grave blum
der, which they will afterwards
regret.
The consequences to the city,
however, Is a more serious prob
lem. That there is no law tor ten
councilmen is apparent. If q
council of ten be elected on the
mere ipse dixit Of part of board
having no power to create such g
law, will it not yitiate any act ol
the board in the future and subject
the city to litigation and incapaci
tyf
? 9re are among the more
khtful of our citizens who
urge that the voters themselves re-
buke this attempted usurpation Of
legislative power, by simply re-
fusing to elect the two ilIega
members provided for in the call
and thus save the city from the
confusion likely to arise from the
election of an illegal council.
1t is possible that a meeting o.
citizens may be held, to express
themselves on this matter and tC
pledge their effOlts to defeat all O.
any ticket put out with more thar
the legal numbers of candidates
thereon.

Will Remedy
Laws Defects
Bill introduced to Give Alder.
men TO Fifth Ward. Law
Does not Allow Salary
For Secretary.

To remedy the defect In the law
pointed out by this paper in a recent
issue, a bill has been introduced In
the legislature 10 give the new Slh
Ward It's two aldermen. Some Of the
learned ones Of the town were al first
disposed 10 the view that The law pass.
ed two years ago was not detective in
this respect but an examination
proved 10 the sksplics that the Demo.
crat was right,
The interest in the approaching
election is growing, but as yet there
are no announced candidates.
In examining the charter and acts
amsndatOrV there 10 II is found that
there is a pretty bad muddle in the
matter Of the salary Of a secretary
Under the charter as II stood originally
the secretary must be one Of the Board
and was allowed fees on licenses and
distress warrants aud not over $50 a
year as salary. To remedy this matter
a bill was passed two years ago allow
ing a secretary 10 be elected OtheI
than a member Of the Board. This
was done for the purpose Of allowing
an adequate salary TO be paid, so il
was argued. But somebody buneled
the job, somewhere along the line and
The bill was passed merely making an
outsider eligible to the office and leav-
ing the Secretary,s salary clause Of the
original charter unchanged. The
Board. however, has been paying re.
Gently a salary Of SIS a month. and
the question arises, that il this be with.
out warrant Of law, as TO whether the
Board may not be held responsible to
the city for money so paid out.
Those desiring to investigate this
matter can find the original charter in
the Acts Of 1901 and the amendment
thereto in the Acts Of 1911.
Note: The above was written be-
fore the Legislature adjourned for the
recess, and it becomes necessary to add
that the law providing for the two
COunciImen from the fifth ward. while
il was passed by the legislature wa'
not enrolled and sent to the gorernOI
in time for his signature. The amend
ment, therefore, fails in SO far as the
approaching election is concerned, auc
only the eight members from the fOul
cid wards can be elected.

Matthias Niemann
is ASSasinated
Most Shocking Murder in COun,
tvs History. Brother is
Charged with Crime.

Oh rnoay between ~ o'clock and
noon, Matthias Nismann was shot to
death on the road near his home in the
North part Of the county. The assas.
SIN used a muzzle.lOadins shotgun
loaded with buckShOl, firing al close
range, the charge Of IS buekshOt en-
tering the back little to the right in
a space thai could be covered By a
mans hand. One shot passed entirely
through the body and Others lodged
just beneath the skin in front
Nlemann had left Jensen's mill al
10 O'Clock TO 90 TO Napier to get the
train 10 Lawrsncsburg, having a check
Tor $500 and SIS or $40 in change,
with which TO pay his taxes, and at.
tend 10 other matters. AT about IL
o'clock a Mr. Pennington found the
body lying IN a pool Of blood in the
road about a mile and half from the
mill. The absence OF the money from
his pockets, suggested that robbery
had inspired the crime, BloOdhounds
and Olticsrs were called but the muir
derer had set fire to the woods for four
miles, covering his tracks so that the
dogs were Of no help. His course was
followed, however, BY the officers until
he came into an old road where the
tracks were perfectly plain,
Officers Lee Davidson, Moore, Scott
after some very shrswd detective work
having obtained sufficient evidence to
Justify them arrested Henry Nismann a
younger brother Of the dead man, and
lodged him in Jail charged with the
murder.
The motive Is alleged to have been
robbery and to obtain insurance carried
By Matthias, Henry being beneficiary.
The brothers lived together and both
were unmarried. The evidence is en-.
tirelV circumstantial, but a very strong
chain has been woven By the alert
officers. WadslfrOm the gun picked
up near the body were found to have
been torn from a paper in the NIemann
home; Henry had purchased shot Of
same kind as were found in Matthias
body Henry's gun was found with one
barrell recently fired; the tracks were
found 10 be exactly the same as Hen.
rvs, the nails il the shoes, and de-
preston in the sole being identical. In
other respects the evidence is very
damaging
henry StoutlY denies the crime but
so far only says in explanation that he
can prove where he ate dinner. and is
willing for the law to decide.
The preliminary trial will take place
today.
The dead man was an industrious
honest citizen, universally popular, a
devoted Catholic and member of the
c X Of A. The demonstrations OF sor-
row at this horrible and most cruel
murder, the desire that his murderer
be apprehended and punished was gen.
eral and gave strong proof Of the high
esteem in which he was held by his
neiEhbors. Funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon at the Sacred Heart
