LOCAL ASSOCIATION.
Passenger Representatives Form One
and Elect John {. LOvcrein
Secretary.

Local passenger representatives held n
meeting at the Lyceum building yesterday
afternoon and completed their part of the
work of the organization of a Kansas City
Passenger Association. The action of the
meeting is subject TO the approval Of the
executive committee of the Western Pas
senger Association. The Union Pacific, Chi
cago Great Western, Memphis and Pitts
burg S Gulf remained out of the meeting.
1t is understood the Union Pacific will join
the association as soon as II IS in working
order. The Memphis and Pittsburg & Gulf
have never been members of the local pas
sCrger association, so that the Maple Ieal
Is the one black sheep in the fold. That
road has not become a member of the
Western Passenger Association on account
of the competition of the 500" line at St
Paul. and no line not a member of the
Western Passenger Association will join
the local association.
The local association recommended the
election Of John c. LOverein as secretary
of the organization. This probably means
his selection for the position, although the
election. under the new agreement, must
be made by the executive committe of the
Western Passenger Association. Mr.. Low
Ell Elm has been with the Memphis passenger

Mr. Loverein IS a thorough passenger
man, familiar with the Kansas City situa-
ton and popular alike in railroad circles
and with the public.

APPLIES TO COLLEGES, ALSO.
New Kansas Text Book Law Covers
More Ground Than Was
Intended.

Topeka, Kas., June 3.-(Special) Assist
ant Attorney General Smelling rendered an
opinion to-day that the text book law ap-
plies to all state educational institutions as
well as to the common and high schools,
and that the books adopted by the COM
mission must be used in the state uni
versity, state normal school and state agTt-
cultural college, providing those branches
are taught in those institutions. So far
only one book has been adopted that will
apply to the state university. That Is the
algebra. The university must now use
Collins algebra for period of five years.
The state normal and state agricultural
college will be required to all the
books adopted as they teach all branches
at those institutions. The commission has
three more books to adopt which would
apply to the state university-philosoph
first two named will not be adopted, while
It is possible that the last one will not be.
In the first place. there have been no bids
on physical geography and only one on
philosophy, and ii was unsatisfactory. The
commission, since learning that the law
catches all the higher educational institu-
tiCns, are not anxious to make adoptiOns
on these three books. In regard to the
philosophy. Superintendent Stryker said At
would be impossible to get one that would
be satisfactory to both the college student
and the pupil in the country school in
Western Kansas.
Il was the intention of the authors of the
new school book law to frame a measure
that would apply only to the common
apply even 70 high schools. much less the
high educational institutions. The opinion
of the attorney general. however, will be
followed by the commission.

Topeka, Kas., June 3.-(Special) There
has been a slight change in the minds of
some of the members of the legislature

bill last winter" said Governor Leedy to-
day, but it is not sufficient to justify me
I'm calling a special session of the legisla-
ture."
Who are the persons who have changed
their positions?" asked a Journal reporter.
II cannot answer that question. We
will wait and see what the outcome Of the
matter is.'
Have you any idea Of calling a special
session."
There won't be one unless I am salts
fled that something can be done"
DO present indications encourage you
in the hope?"

continue waiting with the hope that the
refractory ones will change their minds" 4"
replied the governor. although his de-
meanor indicates that he has not the
slightest idea that a maximum rate law
can be passed while the members of the
last legislature hold their positions.

ARMISTICE ON THE SEA.
Greek and Turkish Delegates to Meet
To-day TO Arrange the
Details.

Athens. June Although the armistice
has been signed in Epirus and Thessaly'
a special clause stipulates that meeting
of the Greek and Turkish delegates shall
be held to-day to settle the details of the
armistice on the sea. If there should be
a failure 10 agree in this matter, the whole
convention will be void.
The Turkish delegates demand that all
vessels under the Turkish or any neutral
flag shall be freely admitted 10 Greek
ports thus practically raising the block
ade and that on the coast of Macedonia
and Epirus the Greek fleet shall be with
drawn beyond the range of the guns. on
Turkeys undertaking that neither troops
nor contraband OF war will be landed. The
Greek government objects TO being de-
prived of the right of search. In defer
ence TO the advice of the powers, however,
the cabinet will probably yield.
The armisticc is to continue until the
conclusion of the peace negotiations. In
the event that these should prove abortive,
either party must give twenty-four hours
notice.
There Is a rumor that the government is
inclined to offer the fleet instead of an
indemnity, on the ground that 1t would be
impossible for Greece 10 wage another
war for at least ten years, and that then
the vessels would be obsolete.

hence no subpoena would be issued.
