A SMITH COUNTY CASE.
About Which Attorney General Boyle
is Being Consulted.

Mr. Scott Rice, county attorney of
Smith county, was in the city Wednes-
day afternoon consulting with Attorney
General Boyle in reference to the law
passed by the last legislature requiring
railroads to furnish shippers of carloads
of stock with return transportation
The first criminal action under this law
will come up for hearing in the district
court of Smith county at the next
term.
The criminal action was brought by a
Smith county shipper against the agent
of the Rock Island road, who refused
him return transportation in shipping
a consignment of stock to the Kansas
City market. 1t was tried in the JUS
tice court, a decision rendered in IA
vor of the shipper, and an appeal taken
to the district court by the company.
The law makes it a misdemeanor for
any agent of a railroad company to re-
fuse return transportation. punishable
by a fine of not les sthan $50 or more
than 5000.
Civil action under the law, to recover
damages and attorneys fees, was
brought in the district court of Sedg-
wick county some time ago and a de-
cision secured in favor of the shipper.

Governor Leedy Admires Swift
Zerland's Government.
HESAYS IT'S THE ONLY
Government Directly in the
Hands of the People.
Something About Gov. Leedy's
Swiss Ancestors.

Governor John w. Leedy believes the
government of Switzerland to be the
best form of government in the world,
and says that he would enjoy living in
the European republic.
It's the best form of government I
know of, simply because it's the work
of the people of that county, said he
in conversation to-day. THE people in
Switzerland make their own laws, and
do not leave them to be manufactured
by the courts, as we do in this country.
They have practically the initiative and
referendum in Switzerland, and you
never hear of any internal disturbances
in that country. Everything is peace
Iul and quiet and prosperous, and the
little republic in the heart of European
monarchical power stands as an ex-
ample in successful government to all
the other nations in the world
Governor Leedy grows quite enthusi-
aStic in speaking of Switzerland, but
aside from his admiration of that
country's form of government, this can
be explained by the fact that by descent
the chief executive of the state is
Swiss. Leedy is a Swiss name. and the
first of the family to land on American
soil were direct from Switzerland. For
hundreds of years the Leedys resided in
that country, and there is a tradition in
the family that one of the present gov
ernOrS ancestors was a follower of Will
liam Tell. the Swiss hero.
Governor Leedy is proud of his Swiss
descent, but not more so than he is of
his Welsh extraction, which comes to
him through his mother. The initial
W. in Governor Leedy's name stands
for Whitman, his mothers name, which
is a corruption of the old Welsh name of
Whitenaugh. In the language of Wales
Whitenaugh means white neck and
Governor Leedy says that as near as
he can figure it his ancestors on the
little island were given this name be-
cause of the unusual fairness of their
necks, which for hundreds of years was
a characteristic of the family. He says,
however, that in this regard he is
wholly unlike his Welsh ancestors, as
the Kansas sun during his experience
as a farmer years ago turned what
ever fairness his neck originally pos
sessed into 2. typical western tan.

rs RUSSIA DEMANDS MANcHuRiA.


London. March 6.-The Pekin corrc-
spondent OF the Times says: Russia
has demanded that China surrender to
her all sovereignty over Port Arthur
and Ta-Llen- Wah, for the same period
and on the same conditions as Germany
at Kaio- Chau. Besides this. Russia
demands the right to construct rail-
way. under the same conditions as the
Trans Manchurian Railway, from Pc
tula on that line (near the river Sum
and Port Arthur. Five days are given
for reply and the agreement must be
made and signed within n month.
'In the event of compliance, Rus
STA threatens to move her troops into
Manchuria. China will perforce, yield.
BY this agreement Russia Will obtain
the right to send soldiers into Lao
Tung, ostensibly for the protection of
the railway engineers. Russian assur-
ances that the ports will be open for
the world are deceptive, inasmuch as
while conforming to these assurances,
Russian can convert the port either into
a second or stronger Vladivostock."
The Times, commenting edltorially on
the above dispatch. says: "Russia's
protest liz neither more nor less than
n thlnly-veiled demand upon China to
abandon the whole of Manchuria and
the province OF Shin King, which in
cludes the Liao-Tung peninsula.
"If China yields. those provinces will
practically pass away forever. to be
incorporated in the cars empire.
While recognizing that Russia's desire
for an ice-free terminus for her Asiatic
railway Is reasonable and legitimate.
England cannot assent to the practical
absorption Of two great and wealthy
Chinese provinces"
