Outline OF What May Happen If the Dis
pute Is Pushed to a Finlsh-Grlnd Finale
L. the State Militia and United States
Troops Arrayed Against Each other
Judge Myers Receiver Epjoined from In
terfering with the Road.
Kansas City, Nov. 19.-Cnder q To-
peka, Kas., date The Star prints the
following: The turn taken in the Santa
t'e receivership case opens the way for
q most serious conflict between the
federal and state courts. Should the
receiver appointed by County Judge
Myers finally succeed in qualifying and
demand possession of the railway the
officers of the latter would refuse to
yield, standing on the expectation that
Judge Foster. of the federal court,
would assume Jurisdiction in the case.
Ills authority resisted by the railroad
people, the receivers recourse would
be to ask Judge Myers for an order
calling out the posse comitatIs to help
him to take possession of the property.
Such an order would authorize the
sheriff to summon every male citizen of
Jefferson county, if necessary, to put
the receiver in possession of the rail-
road. Then Judge Foster-presuming
| that he would assume jurisdiction
would order the United States marshal
| TO appoint an army of special deputies
70 enforce the processes of his court.
And Great Scott! Here's Civil War.
Then the sheriff would call upon the
governor for the state militia. and the
United States marshal, in turn, could
appeal to the secretary of war for
troops, and thus bring on a collision
| between the state and the federal gov
ernments. Nobody looks for anything
of this kind to happen, but Assistant
Attorney General Goddard says there
Is ample room in the case for it, and
should the two courts and the parties
| in interest be stubborn and lose sight of
| the real merits of the case a miniature
war would result. But it is likely that
second thought will come and the case
| will be settled without even coming
to hearing before any court on it's
| merits.
| As the Case Stands at Present.
The case at present stands as follows:
United States Senator John Martin was
appointed receiver of the Santa Fe road
| at OskalOosa, Ia, yesterday by Judge
from the federal court at Topeka and
Martin will not take charge. The whole
| matter will come before United States
District Judge Foster, Topeka, Monday.
when the Santa Fe officials expect to
knock out the action taken by the state
| court. Martins appointment is I'M
friendly to the Santa Fe. About four
months ago his pass was taken UP be-
| cause of speeches he had made de-
| nouncing the railroad company. The
order obtained from Judge Foster di-
| rects all the officers and employees of
the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway company in the state of KAN
sas to continue the operation. man.
agement. and control of said railway
| in the same manner as the same has
heretofore been conducted, until the
| further order of said United States cir
cult court shall be made.

sPUTE's FRIENDS ARE INDIGNANT.
Ills Arrest for the Murder of His Family
Declared a ConSpiracy,

Declared Conspiracy.
Denver, Nov. 19.-Intense indignation
has been aroused over the arrest of
Andrew j. Spute, a grocer, on charge
of numbering his wife and five chill
dren. all of whom were drowned by
the capsizing of boat in Smiths lake,
Oct. %. Four eye-witnesses of the
drowning assert that it was purely ac-
cidental, and Spute's friends claim that
the arrest is either subterfuge of the
insurance company to avoid payment
of $4,000 accident policy on the life
of Mrs. Spute. or an attempt by a local
detective agency to blackmail the hus-
band. 1t is alleged that Spute is the
victim of a conspiracy between his own
lawyer and the detective agency. Miss
Nellie Davis. Spute's alleged paramour,
who was arrested with him. was re-
leased on bonds.
