A FRIENDLY LAW SUIT
May Be INDUCED in by the City and
County

Tt is possible that the city and county
will mix up in lawsuit in the district
court to determine the right to the in
terest and penalties on city tax lands
bought in by the county. The county
has retained the interest and penalties
on all lands bought in for the past 20
years, but City Attorney Bird thinks
Mr.. Bird went to Atchison this after
noon to consult with the AtchisOn city
fathers on that point tonight. There
is a test case now on between the city
which the city is suing to recover the
interest and penalties on city tax
lands bought in by the county. If Mr..
Bird is satisfied after consultation with
the Atchison council that such a suit
can be made successful, he will at once
bring proceedings in the Shawnee coun-
ty district court

HUNTER AND HANNA OUT.
Kentuckian Rebels Against the Ohio
an and Requests His Agent to
Retire From Frankfort.

Frankfort, KY, April 19.-Dr. Hunter
has at last rebelled against Hanna and
his agent here, Samuel Taylor of Ohio,
and Saturday afternoon sent a request
to Mr.. Taylor that he leave Frankfort
at once and not return to NEEDLE in the
senatorial muddle.
This was not done, however, until it
became known that the administration
had withdrawn it's support from Hunter
and that it was the desire of Mr.. Hanna
that Hunter retire in favor of some
candidate who could could unite the
party.
Then it was that DR.. Hunter asked
Mr.. Taylor to leave.
Mr.. Taylor communicated with Mr.
Hanna at once and was told to use his
own discretion. He will remain at
least for a time

Chicago, April 19.-President Debs of
the A. r. L. has called a special con-
VentiOn of that organization for July 10
in Chicago, when cooperative COM
monwealth movement will be consider
ed.
Debs says there will be gathered in
Chicago a number of men foremost in
the movement for cooperative enter
prises, and that perhaps there will be a
formal declaration of principles, which
in effect will be the launching of a new
political party.
Already there is an organization, the
Brotherhood of Cooperative Common
wealth, of which the Rev. Myron Reed
of Denver is president. The brother
hood is to be the nucleus of the move
ment for the establishment of cO-opera-
tive Industrial enterprises.

McCowan VII Go Ere.

Tt is understood that the federal
grand jury, in session in this city dur
ing the past week. refused to indict
Postmaster J. M. MCGOWAN of Empor-
ia. Last December it was discovered
that MCGOWAN was short in his ac-
counts about $500. and was suspended
pending an investigation. 1t was found
that the shortage occurred through
careless handling of the books and the
amount was at once made up by his
bondsmen. An attempt, however, was
made to have MCGOWAN indicted. Since
McCOwan's suspension, Miss Mary
Richter has been in charge of the
Emporia Office.

CLAFLIN co. MAY MOVE.
Pending Antitrust Bill to Make a
Big Concern Quit New York.

New York. April 19.-Wa-ll street, and
the dry goods district as well, was much
interested today over the announcement
that in the event of the passage of the
antitrust bills now pending in Albany,
the great dry goods establishment of H.
B. Clasf1in company would leave the state
and set up business elsewhere.
The first intimatiOn that such a project
was under consideration was conveyed to
the public through the following note,
which the corporation mailed to it's stock
holders Wednesday, when it sent out its
checks for the usual quarterly dividend:
In sending out our quarterly dividends
We wish to answer general inquiry to
the So-called antitrust bills pending at
Albany. 1t is true that these eXtraordi-
nary bills, If passed without radical
amendment, would make it difficult for
any corporation legally to transact pro-
greSsive wholesale business in New York.

corporations with Intelligent considera ton

Measures have been considered which,
in case of unbearable legislation at AL
bany, would, we believe, take US out OF
harm to our business. Such additional
expense as might be incurred would be
fully offset by the saving of taxes which
we pay to New York.
When seen in reference to the note John
Clafiin, president of the corporation, sid
today:
just what 1t says. If the authorities of
this state want to drive US out of bust
