SPECIAL SESSION
B0THER5 GOVERNOR
Is In Quandary What to Include
In Call In Addition to Action
on the Suffrage
Question.

Lincoln, Neb., June 2S.-If All extra
session Of the legislature is called tc
ratify the national suffrage amend.
ment, as now seems likely, 1t will NEE
in Lincoln on July 81. This is the date
favored by those members who have
written the governor in reply to his
letter Of inquiry, and the chief reason
is that it will not interfere with the
candidates. Of members of the legisla-
ture for delegates to the constitutional
convention.
b governor says that he has not
yet decided what other matters to in
clude in the call, although it is likely he
Will ask the Legislature to make some
changes in the code bill and attach the
emergency clause to it. This will en-
able him to put it into effect in spite
OF the referendum. He argues that this
will give the people a chance to vote
intelligently upon whether they want
to continue it when they vote on the
referendum.
he will not Include the proposition to
vote 5000 for a building just off the
capitol grounds to house the supreme

The governor thinks the legislature
settled the matter.
The governor Is in receipt of opin-
ions from two committees Of lawyers
appointed In Illinois to determine
whether under the constitution of that
state delegates to the constitutional
convention could be elected in a non
partisan way. The lawyers say that
1t cannot be done. The Illinois consti-
tuition and that of Nebraska are very
similar, but the legislature decided for
a ~nonpartisan convention in Nebraska.
The Illinois lawyers say that the con-
stitution does not permit 1t because it
SAYS, as does that of Nebraska, that
delegates to the constitution are to be
elected in the same as mem
bers of the house. who, are elected by
partisan nominations.

so a rebuke attained its end without
creating a%ntagonism.
Sometimes it happens that children
lose the sense of discrimination be-
tween fact and fancy. Then we should
clarity their ideas without implanting
a sense Of guilt.
1t vas discovered that a hitherto
truthful child was beginning to make
misstatements. evidently not for the
purpose of deception. but entirely
through confusion of thought. l had
read him an account in a newspaper of
a dog that put his paws on the steer
ing wheel of an automobile; while his
master sitting beside him changed the
gears and saw to the e~ssentiah7 of run
ming the car. He made no comment at
the time but his Imagination seized
upon the idea. A couple of months
later he told me that he had seen a Dag
running a car on Fifth avenue.
His master was with him." l re-
sponded.
mo, not that one; this dog was
alone. He changed the gears himssSf."
Shortly afterward he wanted to know
what a cocoon is. l began the allegory
of the caterpillar and the butterfly.
Don't tell it hat way-don't say 1t
said and he said'-just tell me-" he
broke in. So I told him the facts Of
the development of the chrysalis as
briefly and definitely as possible. When
had finished, thinking this a fitting
opportunity, l explained the difference
between fact n fiction, telling him
that we should let people know whether
what we told was really so, or Just a
story or joke.
The following incident shows his
manner of applying my careful defini-
ton. He told his aunt that he had
seen two squirrels running toward
each other on a branch of a tree. They
mad their mouths filed with nuts, and
they ran so fast that they bumped
heads and knocked the nuts out.
After an effective pause he added:
That's a joke. l made it up! Now
this is real and he repeated a sim
pie incident Of a squirrel carrying
away the WalnutS that he had laid on
the ground to dry.
Some children naturally make the
distinction between fact and fancy
without assistance. One Of my child
companions usually explained his rep
reservations where they might not be
obvious, so that we we'd in a world Of
pretend without any feeling Of de-
ception--"1 can't come to see you. I
shall be too busy taking care of my

She was unable to reconcile her adult
mental attitude with a child's outlook.

His little daughter manifested a

The text day, running im%petuously to

stumbled over a stone, fell, and got up

DEFENSE Of HOME
M00TED QUESTION
Nebraska Supreme Court Called
on to Say When House
holder May Shoot
Trespasser.

Lincoln, Neb., June 27.-How far a
man may go in defense of his nome
castle is a question put up to the SUI
preme court by an appeal in a case thai
has excited a great deal of interest in
Lincoln.
A year ago Mrs. LATE Fl. Carter saw
a man proving close to her bedroom
window. She screamed, and her hus-
band shot and killed aim. He proved
to be Walter D.. Smoke, a postal clerk
living in the same neighborhood. Carter
was exonerated by the %coroner's jury,
but Mrs. Smoke sued him for $4,000
damages and secured judgment for
$4,000. Carriers drug store has been
levied on to pay the judgment.
Meanwhile he has appealed to the
supreme court, and complains that the
trial court erred in refusing to instruct
the jury that he had a right to kin
a ~trespasser when he was engaged in
the commission of an offense before
that offense was committed.
The trial judge told the jury that a
householder was not justified in re
sorting to a revolver unless it found
that under the circumstances that is
what a reasonable n prudent man
would do; that he can use only what
ever means are necessary 10 repeI the
attack on his domicile; that Garter was
not justified in killing a mere tres
passer On his premises unless it was
reasonably necessary to prevent his
forcible entry or to prevent the COM
mission of a felony with force and vio-
lence; and that to justify his act Car
ter must have had reasonable ground
to believe, and did believe from some
act Of the deceased, that his family or
home was in such imminent danger as
to make the act committed necessary
for protection.

findings in the case of Miss Lydia j.
McMahon, former head of the state
schools for girls at Geneva, who de-
manded a hearing after the board had
eXacted a resignation from her. The
hearing was held more than a year

purpose.

as follows:
That her failure to report to the
board the matter Of the seduction of a
girl teacher, a former inmate, by the
bandmaster was highly detrimental to
the best interests of the institution and
greatly weakened its reputation, and
was such a breach of confidence as
ended her usefulness.
That she did not give the board
proper help in conducting the institu-
ton along business n economic lines
as other institutions do.
That the board was mis1ed and de-
ceived as to. the methods of punish
ment resorted to In the institution. cor
