OMAHA, Neil...ia1l. X.—-Witcn lilt-
linltcd Sixties Circuit Court convened
today, Judge Vandevanter handed
down a decision sustaining the demur-
rel“ interposed by counsel for United
States Senator Dietrich. The demur-
rer was made to the introduction of
evidence on the ground that Dietrich
was not. actually a member of the Sea-
ate when the alleged bribery took
place. The effect of the decision is
that a man is not an actual member
of Congress front the time of his elec-
tion until he shall have taken the oath
at the bar of the House to which he
is elected. and that. he is not amenable
to the. law as a member of Congress
and officer of the United States.
i'nitcd States Senator Dietrich has
been released from custody.
ion. instructed the jury to bring in a
verdict of not guilty. and the district
attorney entered a nolio in the other
cases against Dietrich. Jacob Fisher.

ments against him. ‘

The undersigned. a committee appointed by. the Merchants'

ed the buildings. machiney. Fwtu res and merchandise in the plant
of the Volk Hat Company. and believe that the estimate of values
as per schedule “A" herewith attached. is a very conservative one.
We further find that advanced pa ymcnts on spring orders now held
by the firm amounts to $2,500. and that there are orders on the
books of the Company exceeding one thousand dozen. 'i"1e plant
seems to be in good condition. with facilities for turning out a very
large product.
Mr. Swartz. President of the Company. informed us that all
the obligations of the old Company. excepting the 310.000 real
estate mortgage. have been cared for: that the reorganized Com-
pany would date their business from December .1st.. 1903. free from
debt except as above. and that th e present equ1t would be repre-
sented by the common stockholders. and that no cash received
from the sale of the preferred capital stock would be used as work-
ing capital.
