SUPREME COURT DECISION

The constitutionality Of another
statute was settled when the Supreme
Court decided that it was not within
the jurisdiction of the lower courts
to suspend sentence, as has been the
custom under the Nevada statutes.
In the case OF the State ex rel Les
ter Summer6eld, as District Attorney
of Washoe county VS. Judge Moran
as respondent. the court decided that
the Washoe jurist was without juris-
diction when he suspended the SEN
tence of one Adrian Wheeler.
Wheeler in 1915 committed an or
fense,was tried, found guilty and fined,
or in lieu OF the fine was to serve in
the county jail. The Judge ordered
that the sentence be suspended dur
ing good behavior.
The complaint before the Supreme
Court states that Wheeler never paid
the fine and never served the sentence.
The purpose of the action is to com
pei the respondent Judge to enforce
the fine or the Imprisonment.
1t was the contention of the petit
toner that the lower court was with
out jurisdiction in suspending the SEN
tenceyas the statute under which he
acted was unconstitutional, null and
void
The Supreme Court reviewing the
petition and answers and citing the
constitution of the state on such mat
tiers, together with a. number of other
citations concludes:
1T appearing that the statute in
question is in violation of the express
provisions of the constitution it fol-
lows that the action of the court in
suspending the sentence passed was
and is without force and effect, and
the writ will issue as demanded III the
petition but in order that the said
Wheeler may make application to the
Governor or the Board of Pardons
for the suspension ofcollection of said
fine. or such other clemency as he
may see fit to seek, the service and
execution of the order will be stayed
for period of twenty days"
The opinion is by Chief Justice
Coleman and concurred in by Justice
Sanders and Quicker.

STATE ENGINEER TIRED OF
INJUNCTIONS

State Engineer Scrugham has filed a
petition with the Supreme Court ask
ing for restraining order to pre-
vent the district courts from issuing
injunctions, temporary or permanent,
when he has brought suits to deter
mine water rights.
AS soon as a storage or reclama-
ton project is started on the Hum
boldt some of the lawyers Institutes
an injunction and thus prevents the
engineer from carrying out his in
tended scheme.
In the petition for writ of pro-
hibition the state engineer fecites
that his attempt at water adjudica-
ton have been blocked by numerous
injunction suits and suits attacking
the constitutionality of the water law;
that the law was held constitutional
but another suit was filed by water
users on the Lower Humboldt and
an injunction issued by District Judge
Hart of Churchill county. acting for
Judge Callahan. This injunction, the
state engineer contends, held up adj
Indications on the Upper Humboldt
and is doing great amount of public
injury.
The state engineer takes the posi-
ton that an injunction such as that
issued by Judge Hart will not lie
because it would prevent an execu-
tive officer of the state from admins
tering the law under which he is re-
quired to act.

An irritable and fault finding dispo-

A man with good digestion and bow

its functions naturally. They also
cause gentle movement OF the
