INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 6.-Seven-
ty-four counties out OF n%incty-two in

RECEIVER FOR SANTA FEE.
Kansas Portion OF the Systems Again In
the Courts Hands.

TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. County At.
torney II. #. Phinney of jefferson
county, in the name of the state of
Kansas. yesterday brought suit in the
L~eavenwOrth district court to compel
the Santa Fee railroad company to dis.
pose of its real estate in Kansas.
Judge Myers appointed Charles F..
Johnson of oskaloosa rs receiver. The
receiver is placed in control of all the
cornpany's property except the rolling
stock, the order including rirht.of.
way. telegraph lines, depots, round.
houses. shops and all other property
that is stakcd to the ground. The
bond Of the receiver was fixed at
$4,000.
The receiver was ordered TO enter
into an agreement with the officials of
the railroad company to operate it's
line within five days, and if. at the eX-
piration of that time, the company had
failed To- enter into such an agreement,
the receiver was ordered to take charge
Of the rolling stock and operate the
lire
The suit was brought under the alien
land law of Kansas, which prevents
companies, where 20 per cent or more
Of their stock is helC by aliens. from
holding land in Kansas. 1t is esti-
mated that the company owns $50, OOO,-
600 worth of property in Kansas. The
suit covers the entire main line. which
owns all the real estate. 1t is claimed
that the suit is the outgrowth of an
old fight of long standing among the
Stockholders Of the Santa Fe. and that
il "a iuStigated at the instance of
Henry ClCws, the New York banker,
and Newman Erb, the well known
railroad man.
Genera. Solicitor A. A. Uurd, of the
Santa Fc in Kansas refused To talk
about the ease toni rht. He had heard
indirectly that the receiver had been
appointed. but said no papers had yet
been served on the officials at this
point. II is understood that the com
pany's first move will be to ask that
the ease be transferred to the United
States court.
This iS the first case ever filed in
Kansas under the alien land law, and
its result will he watched with great
interest by capitalists and big corpora

lican state senator-clect of Jefferson

TOPEKA, Nov. - The Republicans
have given up Kansas as lost. Chair
man Simpson this morning still had
hopes of saving Carver, Republican for
chief justice, III of the wreck, but he
abandoned it before noon and he and
Secretary Bristow and all the other

Breidenthal and Love, the fusion
chairinen, claim Leedy's election by
5000 or 1000 and the Bryan electoral
ticket by $4,000.
The Republicans claim the election
Of Harris to Congress in the Second
district by 80 majority. Breidenthal
and Love say the returns will not bear
out this claim. They say that Peters

think probably 100.
