(From a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, June l7.-(Special.)-l
opinions handed down by the supreme
court commission this morning there
are five reversals, as follows: Newell
against Stull, Cass county; Schultz
against Abrams, Kearney county;
Walker against Richey, Adams
county; Jollenstein against Ohslund
Keith county, and Winch against
Haley. Douglas county.
In opinions made by the commits.
sion no written opinion is filed by
the clerk except in cases of reversal
The Douglas county case is a con
troversy over the allowance of attor,
ney fees rendered in the estate Of
Seth F. Finch, the opinion being BY
Commissioner Grant Martin. In the
settlement Of the estate, which went
through several terms Of court, foui
attorneys were connected with the
estate and received. different amounts
]. L. Haley and L. d. Holmes re
ceived $3.50 in cash each and an al
lowance OF $500 more each by tn,
district court. w. A. Saunders or hi
estate was allowed $500 additional t.
the $500 already assumed to hay,
been received. Charles Haffke wa,
given $500 for services rendered thu
executors and A. L. Reed, executor
and his assistant was given $500 fol
services rendered.
1t was contended that no allowanc,
should have been given to Haffkee d
the executors and that the allowanc,
made to Haley and Saunders was ex
cessive. a
The executors realized $4,000 from
the sale Of the estate, OF which $l4,
900 went to pay off the mortgage in
debtedness, court costs, taxes ant
litigant expenses. The executors hav'
balance on hand Of $1,000 and il
reversing the judgment Of the Doug
las county district court Commits
sioner Martin holds that while tn
attorneys saved the estate in one in
stance 81 900 alone, and the amour
! allowed the attorneys for their serv
ices was not too much, there ar
other factors entering into the con
troyersy.
In the words OF the commissioned
-Four attorneys rendered service /
this case. 1t seems to US that on
attorney could have taken care Q
these matters and that where two Q
more rendered service their fee
should be no greater than the scryic
rendered BY one. ~ The estat
was small and no matter what th
services rendered were worth, tn
court cannbt permit the estate to b
eaten up by attorneys fees.
1--WE find that Haley should r.
ceiye $3.50 instead Of $500 above
him BY the court; that the estate {
said Holmes should not be Above
\ any sum in addition to the $3.50 1t ha
already received; that the estate
4 said Saunders should receive $500
full compensation"
According to the court, Haffke
should be allowed $3.50, A. L. Rec
$500 and the legal representatives (
the estate OF Frank Foster $500.
Under these ruling the case is r,
nanded and reversed.

GOVERNOR STOPS AT SPRINGS
Chief Executive of Nebraska Does
Not Immediately Hike for
Home.
SOME OFFICERS REACH HOME

From a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Neb., June l7.-(Special. y
The good book says that "the wicked
flee when no man pursueth." The
manner. in which acting Governor
Pearson flew back to the Businesses OF
his short grass country home when
he believed Governor Morehead was
likely to drop in this morning, indi-
Gates that the real governor might
not approve OF the acts of the acting
governor. and it might be wisdom to
flee from danger.
However, acting Governor Pearson
acted to hastily. He might have re-
manned few more days and welded
the scepter Of power over the state
little longer, for Governor Morehead
has not returned and is not even
within the state, having stopped off
for several days at Excelsior Springs.
That there is a grave situation con-
fronting the democratic state admin
istration from an invasion is admitted
even by them. The invasion Of a
strong Hughes for president" senti-
ment has already created feeling
that the democratic party in Nebraska
is terribly unprepared to meet an in
vasion of that kind.
Those who returned this morning
to Lincoln were Food Commissioner
Hartman, General Hail, DR.. Hall,
Gene Mumford, Louie Tobin, Herb
Gooch, Jimmie Murphy, and their
mascot, Crawford Kennedy, whom
they admit they were unable to con-
vert to democracy. 500
