we'll to the railroads and the add is
worth something TO say they furnish
coal for the city schools. These two
things enable the city to get its coal
at about cost.
Now in regard to the people getting
coal cheaper in the towns surrounding
Wichita than the people here get IT.
there is nothing in that and will tell
you why. We have esta blished a Gus
tom of forking coal here and people
have become accustomed to it and they
viii not have anything else.
In the smaller towns coal is sold
just as il comes from the bank, that
is they sell lump and slack altogether
while We separate IL, and as the boys
in the yard say, wipe the Jumps with
rag to keep the people from kicking.
1t costs the dealers here 20 cents ton
TO separate their coal and prepare it
for market. and while they sell this
separated lump and nut coal for more
than coal is sold for in the smaller
towns they sell the lump for a good
deal less
Chairman Eatton appointed a COM
mittee of three: Hoss, Ratliffe, and
Annawah, TO visit the schools for the
next three months. Also notified the
board that he had notified Superin-
tendent Dyer. TO dismiss the schools
next Friday so that the children could
attend the State fair.

Assistant Attorney General Campbell
had William Myers, book keeper for
Mahan Brothers brought before Judge
Reed on attachment yesterday to ans
wer a subpoena served on him in the
Jack Davidson case.
Tiger Bill has lost all his cases against
the jointists and he thirsts for blood.
He had expected 10 prove by Myers that
Jack Davidson bought liquors of the
Anheuser-Busch company at wholesale,
but Myers did not appear as a witness in
the case.
Jack Davidson went clear and the as
sistant attorney general thought il
would be a partial vindication OF him
if Myers were adjudged in contempt and
fined and put behind the bars Of the
Sedgwick county jail
When Mr.. Myers was called up be-
fore Judge Reed he stated that he was
just about ready TO start TO Oklahoma
when a subpoena was served on him and
his attorneys, Amidon & Conley. had
told him he was not properly served to
bring him within the jurisdiction of the
court and he could go on about his bust
ness.
Mr.. AMidon went on to the witness
stand and testified that when Myers
came to him that he called up Deputy
Charles Burrows and asked him if he
had served a subpoena on Myers and
Burrows said he had not and did not
know anyaring about ii.
He then called up Sheriff Royse and
he sta ted that no subpoena had been
served on Myers that ne knew of. Mr..
Amidon said he then told Myers that
some unauthorized person had served
it and he need not pay any attention
to it.
1t transpired during the hearing that
Mr.. Campbell had concluded to do busi-
ness independent of Sheriff Royse and
his deputies and he had Police Officer
A. N. Sutton serve the subpoena on
Myers.
AS police officer Sutton had no right
to serve a subpoena issued by the clerk
of the district court. and he bad not
been delegated by the sheriff TO do that
duty. or if; he had he failed to return an
affidavit that he had been SO appointed
as the law requires.
Judge Reed intimated that he would
like TO make Myers pay the costs in the
case but he said he could not even do
that and he was discharged.
Then Tiger Bill made another Of his
grand stand plays and asked for
transcript OF the proceedings and init
mated that he would take the case to
the supreme court but just how he was
going to get it before that tribunal was
a mystery to some Of the other attor-
neys. Some of them thought Tiger Bill
would put it in his pocket and take it
up to Topeka and say to Attorney Cen
eral Dawes: Now just look there how
they do me up down at Wichita"

WAS ALL FOR COAL
SCHOOL BOABD HOLD A CALL MEET
ING TO CONSIDER BIDS.
II. Ratline Stands Up for the Central Coal
and Coke Company-City schools will
be Furnished with Coal, 94.O5 for Lump
snd o.. so for Slack-Ffve Firms Put in
Bids-Why Coal Sells Higher in Wichita
than In Surrounding Towns-School
Children will Attend the State Fair on
Friday.

The board of education held a meet
ing last night to consider the bids sub
| mitted for furnishing the city schools
| with coal for the present school year.
The meeting was called for Z o'clock
but it was after eight before a quorum
could be secured and then some of them
| had to be called in By telephone.
When Judge Hatton brought the NAL
let down on the table for order eight
members were present: Herman, Hat
ton, Ratliffe, SIM, Davidson, Dorsey
Hoss and Hawk.
Bids had been handed in for furnish
ing coal for the city schools at the last
regular meeting but all of them We're
rejected because the price was higher
than prices paid for coal in surround
ing towns. The bids opened last night
were:
L. c. Jackson, Frontenac lump $40;
Weir City slack lump s4.1O and Fronte-
mac or Weir City slack s255.
Weir City and Western Coal Co.,
Weir City lump s4.2O; and Weir City
slack s2.57.
Shultz Bros. Weir City lump s4.19 and
Arkansas slack 1915.
Central Coal and Coke Co., Weir City
lump s4.O5 and Weir City slack $3.50.
Hamilton Coal Co., Weir City on
track $40 for lump and $3.50 for run
Of mines.
The Hamilton Coal Co., had the low
est bid but Mr.. Ratliffe argued that
when the city paid for the hauling and
stood the shortage that there would
not be difference enough If there was
any difference to pay the city for going
into the coal business in opposition to
home dealers. Then he claimed that
the bid was Indefinite and not the kind
of bid they had asked for.
There seemed to be a common consent
that all cars run short of bank weights
and the board wanted to know just
what it was getting. Mr.. Radcliffe
had studied the coal question and he
was able to answer all questions and
show that the bid of the Central Coal
and Coke Co., was the cheapest bid
and it was awarded the contract by
a unanimous vote.
After the contract had been awarded
a coal dealer said to a reporter for the
Eagle: Now you think we have a coal
pool in Wichita and that we sell coal
higher in Wichita than in the surround
ing towns, don't you?'
He was told that he had guessed it
the first time when he proceeded to ex-
plain the real situation. Now he
said, / will tell you honestly that we
have no pool on coal and the Central
Coal and Coke Co., have no profit in
the contract they have just secured
unless they have a drawback in freight
which / do not believe they have.
These coal companies all want to
have big tonnage because it shows up
