The Maple Leaf elevator recently built in
this city is gradually sinking. The south
eEd Of the big structure has already settled
eight inches. and precautions are being
taken 10 prevent great damage, which is

much more. A civil engineer has been at
work during the past week surveying the

vator site.
The Maple Leaf elevator is one of the
largest and most modern structures of its
kind in the Nest. 1t is located at the foot
OF Nebraska avenue, on ground dedicated
TO the city for levee purposes. The build
ing is about 10 feet high. and holds 1000 800
bushels of grain. 1t is heavily burdened
with huge machinery. Every precaution
was taken in constructing the foundation.

VERY IMPORTANT RULING.
LAW of Last Legislature Tn
co~nstitutiOna

Judge Holt handed down yesterday in the
court of common pleas a very important
ruling. II WIS III Il motion IN IN. case
of II. 7. Drake. a depoSitor OF the de
;unut Argentine bank. against the stock
holders OF the bank to Recover money due
him from the d-iunct institution. The
court held that the creditors right TO sue
stockholders was still good. notwithStand-
ing that a banking law passed by the last
Pop legislature relieves the Individual
creditor of this right and gives it 10 the
receiver.
Drake brought his suit in the district
court and WIS given Il Judgment. How
ever. before this was done the new bank
ing law had been passed. The suit WAS
brought under the old law, which gave
the creditor the right 10 sue stockholders.
The new law takes this privilege away
from the creditor and places il with the
receiver. While Judge Holt did not declare
the new banking law unconstitutional. his
decision has led many TO believe that the
law * void. His decision. in substance.
was that the Kansas banking law of 1877
Is in contrayentiOn of the constitution of
the United States. which provides that no
state shall pass Il law that Will interfere
with the right of private contract. Some,
other district courts in Kansas have taken
an opposite view. but leading attorneys in
Kansas City, kaS.. are inclined To accept
Judge Hollis decision as good law.
