TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 1a.-Attorney
General Boyle began quo warranto
proceedings in the supreme court to-
day, nominally to secure the forfeit
ure of the Kansas City Stock Yards
company. alleging that the company
was violating the state law under
which its charter was secured by main
tanning general Offices in Kansas City,
Mo-, but really to compel the COM

Kansas City, Kan.
The company, the attorney general

by the legislature last winter, now in
litigation in the federal court, by con-
tending that it is an interstate cor
poration. This the state contends is
untrue, as the company is a Kansas
institution and should conform to the
Kansas law, which provides that the
general offices shall be maintained il
