FORT. SCOTT POLICE FIGHT.
IL Was transferred to Topeka Ycster-
dny-Lecdy Asked to Take
Hand.

Topeka, Kas., Sept. 11.-(SpeciaL) Ross
Williams, who is holding the position of
chief OF police at Fort Scott by virtue of a
court. Injunction, and County Attorney
Shepard, of Bourbon county, are in the
city for the purpose of having the present
board of police commissioners of Fort
Scott removed. They wanted to see the
governor, but he was not in the city to-
day, SO they put in the time building up
local sentiment among other members
of the administration. with the expectation
of using 1t on Leedy when he returns.
:. Williams was appointed chief of police
by the present board under instructions
from Governor Leedy. A few days ago the
board discharged him for incompetency
and he went into court and enjoined the
come up lhextjweek. In .thesmeantime,
temporary restraining order enables him
to wear the badge of chief. of police"
Now he wants to have the board removed
before the case is decided. He claims that
Lowry is a goldbug Democrat and wor-
shipper of Cleveland, and that Robens, an
other member of the board, is redhot
Republican. Both Lowry and Robens, he
declares, announce that they would do any
thing in the world to defeat the Populist
party. He says that the governor should
Scott one more show by appointing a Pop
ulist board. Then, If harmony could not
be restored. he would be willing to see the
system abolished. He thinks 1t would be
unwise to abolish the system there now
until after the election. as it is q big in
fuence in keeping the bum element in line
for the Pop ticket.

JUDGE FOSTER SAY 1T CUTS NO FIG
URE IN STOCK YARDS CASE. Al
HARD BLOW TO THE COMPANY.
KNOCKS A BIG HOLE IN ITS PRINl
CIPAL CONTENTION.
Judge Foster Says Value Based on the
Assumption That the State Would
Never Interfere Is Not Val.
ne at All-Mr. BOyle's
Argument.

Topeka, kas., Sept. 17.-(Special) The
state had it's inning to-day in the argu-
ment of the stock yards. case before Judge
Foster, of the federal court. Attorney D.
r. Hite completed his argument for the
stockholders of the Kansas City Stock
Yards Company shortly after 10 o'clock.
and Judge David Martin opened the argu-
ment for the state He made light of the
interstate commerce feature upon which
Mr.. Hite had laid particular emphasis,
and said that it was scarcely worth cOnsid-
ering. Under none of the court decisions
OF any other thing could he see how the
complainants could argue that the COM
pany was engaged in interstate commerce.
He next tackled the point raised by the
complainants concerning the good will of
the company, and said that in all the cases
ever decided by the courts good will had
never been taken into consideration.
Judge Foster asked If the complainants
claimed the company was entitled to con-
sideration for good will over and above
the par value of the stock.
Judge Martin answered, Yes"
Judge Horton denied this.
'It certainly does." put in Attorney Gem
eral Boyle. You claim credit for the mar
ket value of the stock-136."
YES" replied Judge Horton, "but we did
value ofsthe stock"
''I am dead against the complainants on
the proposition responded Judge Foster.
You have assumed that the state would
not attempt to regulate your business SIM
ply because it had not dcne so until this
year. Because the people believed that as
sumption to be correct, the market value of
your stock has risen to 1861 believe that
is the figure. Anyhow, you are wrong.
If the court decides that the state has the
power to regulate your business and this
law regulates 1t, you are not entitled to
any excess value based on a false theory
which the enactment of this law entirely
overthrows."
Judge Foster said that 1t was not nee
essary to discuss the good will point any
further.
His decision on this question took both
sides by great surprise. The complainants'
attorneys were dumfounded, while the
states attorneys were highly elated.
When Judge Martin finished his argu-
ment, court adjourned until dinner, and At
torney General Boyle started in at 2
o'clock. He talked two hours and did
himself proud" The fact is, that all of
the attorneys did well. Mr.. Hite and Mr..
Boyle are the young men in the case and
the manner in which they acquitted them
selves is the subject of much favorable
comment among the legal fraternity
Mr.. Boyle, in closing the argument for
the state reviewed briefly the points raised
by the complainants and showed just how
