Mrs. Jennie Hutgelc. former county superintendent, today commenced suit against Oeonto Poorman, axpert ac countant employed by the county board, for $15,000 damages on account of alleged defamation of character and misrepre sentation regarding her and her office made In his report of the examination of the office last fall. He reported a shortage in funds and that the accounts were very badly kept, and upon this a suit was commenced by the county to recover for sums said to be due. It Is understood that the suits have been withdrawn. Snffrmtr Hot nnd Cold. The enthusiasts for woman suffrage. who this morning were In high gleo be cause the house of representatives passed the resolution for a constitutional amend ment by a big majority, became sad this afternoon when the senate committee on constitutional amendments recommended the same measure for Indefinite postpone ment and will so report to the senate. The senators believe this will put an end to the matter for this session. No Cnnse of Action. Profane and harsh words, "cuss words" In fact, when heard over the telephone are not a basis for legal damage notion In Iowa. This decision of the supreme court was handed down In a case wherein Nettle Kramer of Franklin county sued Henry Rlcksmeyer for damages onac count of "fright, shock and humiliation." The trouble arose over the trespassing of some of Kramer's cattle. Rlcksmeyer delivering his unexpurgated opinion of them In the plaintiffs ears via the tele phone wires. Supreme Court Rlifhta. The senate spent the forenoon discussing the advisability of requiring that the su preme court shall in deciding the uncon stitutionality of a law be unanimous. The bill came from the committee with recom mendation that It be Indefinitely post poned, and the discussion was on this re port. The bill had passed the house and was urged by Attorney General Cosson. The report was adopted by a vote of 27 to 17, which defeats the bill. CTT Dills.

The preliminary work of the legislative committees In the matter of highway leg. 'slatlon Is about completed, and Chairman Balktma of tho highway committee will soon present several new bills to the legislature embodying the best thought or tho members. The general bill ror a highway commission and for a classifica tion of the roads. has been completed. A llll for a county tax levy In aid of paved londs 1b in preparation ana a bill to au Ihorize state aid for roads. The members of thq committees say that they1 will give the legislature an opportunity to vote on every good -Idea proposed. At the beginning of the session the views of members differed widely on almost every phase of the road question, but they are now getting together on a few general principles that will be advocated. Workmen! Compensation. Senator Webber of Wapello county has Introduced In the senate an entirely new bill relating to employers' liability and workmen's compensation for Injuries. Tl:ls Is somewhat like the bill recom mended to :tl)e Missouri legislature after nn exhaurtlve Investigation of the sub .'ret. It applies to all Industries and to all employes regardless of number. The employer may elect to come under the provisions of the law or remain out and tal his chances with the present laws. If he elects to take advantage of the law lie must take out liability Insurance. Compensation for Injuries Is fixed at E0 per cent of the wage per week. For total disability or death the compensation continues for GOO weeks. The bill Is of fered as a substitute for the Iowa com mission bill now before tho senate. No Nevr Normal Schools. The senate committee on educational In stitution has recommended for Indefinite postponement the various bills relating to normal schools. This means that so far as the senate Is concerned It will not con sider this, matter at all. The .house prob ably will pass some kind of a bill looking to the establishment of three new state normal schools. The bill to provide for state inspection nf county accounts will probably be Dassed very soon. H gives the state audi tor four or five Inspectors who will give to the accounts of the various counties ttie same sort of lnvestgatlonihat Is riven In the case of the cltlea and the banks. AVbrrr ibejf'Lnvryerm Dlinnrre, Serious disagreement beween the law. yers of the legislature over some of the rortlp.il reform bills has appeared. The senate committee on Judiciary has re jiorted for postponement the bill from the house which requires' that in order that th supreme court may declare a law un constitutional It shall be unanimous and havo the decision In writing subscribed to by every judge of the court. Borne of the house lawyers are Insistent that this would be a proper check on the courts and would materially affect the status of 'aws that are questioned. A fight on the floor of the senate Is threatened. B Omaha's Greatest Ctothing House.
