CALLS ON LEEDY.
President Ripley and the New Gov
ernor in Conference Today.


A party Of Santa Fe officials. consist
ing of President E. P. Ripley, Third
Vice President Paul Morton. General
Solicitor z. ID. Kenna and General Aud
itor H G. Whitehead arrived in this
city in special car at noon today
Shortly after their arrival they sent
a note to Governor-elect Leedy, asking
him if he would give them an audience
and allow them to present their views
on the subject Of railroad legislation.
Mr. Leedy replied that he would hear
what they had to say on the matter this
afternoon. To friend he remarked-
Anyone who is a citizen of this state
or has interests here has right to ex-
press his views as to the mana agement
of state affairs. and I propose to listen
to what they have to say
This afternoon the party called on the
governor at his Office in the Veale block
and a conference was held
The railroads have been disturbed
over the prospect of a hostile maximum
freight rate bill passing the incoming
legisla ture, and it is reported that they
presented their views on this matter
to MIR, Leedy this afternoon.
The arguments that they brought
against the measure We're that it is inn
practicable even if it should be held to
be constitutional by the supreme court
been held to be unconstitutional They
represented that the railroads of this
state We're the largest tax payers of the
state and employed great number of
the citizens Of the state. and that under
the present conditions the roads were
not making money. and that any legis-
lati0n that would affect the income of
the roads would be direct blow to
important business interests in the
state, and would directly affect a great
number Of working men of the state
which are IN the employ of the various
roads,and that any such measure would
be found impracticable in its workings
as only 10 per cent Of the entire traffic
Of the state was intra-state and the
rest of the traffic being Interstate traf-
fic which would not be affected by any
state legislation.
1t is rumored that they intimated
that they would not oppose rigid anti
pass law if the Populist party should
see ht 10 pass such a measure as this
would add great item to the income of
Kansas railroads
One of Gov. Leedy's railroad visitors
stated this afternoon during the con
ference that the railroad company fear
ed nothing at the hands of the PopuIist
legislature. we don't think they are
unwise" said he. t'and believe that they
viii accord the railroads fair treatment
They can hardly make laws at the
present time against the railroads. for
none of the roads are paying interest on
an investment of $4,000 a mile. We are
not at all afraid of their actions during
the coming legislature

recent agitation in banking circles to
prevent serious run that was threat
ened.
Officials of the Atlas National vigor-
ous1y denied that the Atlas HQuida ton
in any way influenced the future course
OF the Dime Savings bank. At the lat
ter there was a persistent silence as to
the action Of the directors.
