Against Robert Smith Finished
at Night Hearing
HAFFKE SUMS UP THE FACTS

Arguments in the suit brought by
the County board TO recover more
than $4,000 naturalization fees re-
tanned by Robert Smith. clerk of the
district court. were finished at a
night hearing before District Judge
Sears and the judge took the case
under Amusement.
The court continued in session
until o'clock at night in order to
permit OF bringing the hearing to
close this week without interfering
with Judge Sears session of Juvenile
court today.
Deputy County Attorney Haffke sum

he had proved, in support Of the applica-
ton for writ Of mandamus compelling
Smith to make an accounting OF fees. as
follows:
That Smith used offices. labor sta
tionery. heat and lights provided and
paid for by Douglas county, for the car
rying on of his naturalization work.
That Nebraska law fixes the com
pensation to be received by smith at
$4,000 a year and provides that all excess
fees shall be turned into the county
treasury by him.
That decision OF the United states
supreme court holds that clerks should
pay excess naturalization fees into
county treasures where local laws so
provide.
Attorney John =. Breen, retained by
Smith to resist the county's demand for
the S6,o00. declared the clerk should not
be forced to give up the money, because
