THIRTEEN HAVE ENTERED BAIL.
Alleged "speakeasy" Proprietors
Held fer Court.

All but six of the nineteen persons
charged by c. w. Travers with selling
liquor without license have entered
bail for their appearance at court.
Fred. Weichel, Jacob Demuth, Frank
Brein, j. Boettcher, Christ Kline, Frank
Grambo, Charles Rose, A. Weichel,
George Mirtz. Rose Kane and James
McGuiggan waived a hearing and en-"
tered bail yesterday before either AL
derman Wright or Alderman Storr.
Charles Mirtz entered bail before AL
derman Wright, Wednesday.
Jordan a. Connolly demanded hear
ing and were accorded this privilege.
1t took place last evening in Alderman
Wright's office, Quinnan & Donohoe
appearing for the defendants and
George ID. Taylor for the prosecutor.
Travers was the only witness. He
stated that he bought whiskey on the
premises, but couldn't identify either
Jordan or Connolly as having sold it
to him; nor could he establish in any
way that they were the proprietors of
the place.
The defendants attorneys contended
that prima faciae case had not been
made out and asked that their clients
be discharged. The alderman would
not see it in this light, however, and
held them in $500 bail each for their
appearance at court

He also said something about the

BY mutual agreement the time for
the hearing on the rule to make the
injunction permanent was fixed for to-
morrow morning at 9 o'clock.

DRIVING A PLANE.

After the plane had been driven up
wards a distance of several hundred
feet it was found necessary to aban-
don it because Of the inability to cause
the air to circulate in that far. and
then operations were transferred to
the Clark vein, where an opening was
started downward to meet the one
that had to be abandoned.
Inspector Roderick complains that
the company is not pushing this second
opening as rapidly as it should and
further that the second shaft open
ing from the Clark vein to the surface
Is not equipped as the law requires.
The bunting has been dislodged by the
ice; there is no cage with which to
hoist men IN an emergency; there is
no engineer stationed there continu-
ously and steam is not kept up in the
boilers. He contends that if anything
should happen to the main shaft the
men could not be gotten out in hurry
and owing to the alleged gaseous nature
of the mine, it is absolutely necessary
that means are at hand to rescue the
men Immediately if the main shaft,
which is the intake of the air course
should become in any way impaired.
When these allegations had been laid
before Judge Gunster, with elabora-
tiOns by Major Everett Warren. attor-
ney for Inspector Roderick, W. j. Hand
representing the company, made for
NAL opposition to the granting of the
injunction denying the allegations of
the inspector, in the main. and main
tanning that ii allowed a hearing they
would be able to prove that the COM
pany is doing all that the law requires
and that it has made every reasonable
effort to comply with the inspectors
demands.

MIR. HANDS ARGUMENTS.

He went on then to point out that
If there was danger in operating the
miEe, under the present conditions, as
the inspector AYERS, the men would
nOt be so ready to go to work. 1t is not
only not an unexceptionally dangerous
mine, he argued, but is far more safe
than the average mine by reason of
its possessing the unusual advantage
of natural ventilation. In case the
fan stopped there is sufficient natural
ventilation, he said, 10 make IT. possi-
bic for men to live at the root OF the
shaft in the Clark vein for a month
and in the lower vein for fully five days
without suffering any inconveniences
from gas
These allegations, Mr., Hand was ready
to substantiate by officials and en-
ployes of the company who We're pres
ent, but when Major Warren raised
the point that it is not according to
equity practice to have a hearing on
preliminary Injunction, Judge Gun
ster ruled that he would not go into a
hearing. The commonwealth had asked
for preliminary injunction and there
being prima facial evidence in the hill
that it should be granted there was
acGuiesce in the commonwealth de-
mand' He would modify the injunction
however, he said, so that II would not
ahect the men working on the second
opening and such others as are neces-
sarily employed at the pumps and in
the inspection Of the workings.
Mr.. Hand wanted that the men work.
ing on the inner second opening, the
plane from the Clark vein down to the
Dunmore No. ., should be relieved from
the effects of the bill, but Inspector
Roderick through Major Warren, op-
posed this and it was defeated.
THAT SECOND OPENING.
Mr. Hand, on this point, argued
strenuously that the men in the sec
ond shaft and the men in the inner
connecting plane We're all working on
a continuous second opening from the
Dunmore No 2 to the surface, and as
the law says that the act does not an
ply to men engaged i'm making a sec
ond opening the injunction should not
affect either gang. How can there be
second opening, he asked, unless men
are permitted to make one?
Judge Gunster decided that the re-
pairs of the shaft should be completed
and the necessary equipments for
hosting supplied before work should
begin on the inside continuation of the
second opening.
Mr.. Roderick was called to aid the
judge in modifying the injunction and
among the statements he made was
one to the effect that If anything hap
pened to the brattice work in the main
shaft, under the present condition of
affairs, men working in the Dunmore
No. vein would be smothered in five
minutes.
Mr.. Hand explained that it would be
shown at the final hearing that the
company has pushed the work on the
inner opening with all due diligence;
that a cage is maintained In the second
shaft and was only removed and sup
planted by bucket when the repairs
to the damaged bunting were COM

merely an emergency exit; that 1t is

C. BERNHARDT.

The article in the Advocate and News of
February l6 by w. o. McElrOy entitled
Two Platform Planks," Is needed, is
timely and to the point, but Mr.. McElroy
should remember we, the reform forces of
Kansas, may make such a platform and
enact such law or laws, but we must
not forget the courts, which may declare
such laws unconstitutional We should
rather take the bull by the horns and
repeal our constitution and make the will of
the people the constitution--in other words,
the people should be their own constitution.
That would do away with all of these
foolish and degrading court decisions We
have noticed for one thing, that all laws
enacted to help the common people have
been declared unconstitutional IL they have
had tendency TO give money set back
or its just place in society.
1t is not new plan for a government
to do insurance business, neither is It a new

The Issues rIust Be Clearly Defined,
F. G. JOHNSON.

II. q. JOHNSON.
The failure of the United States govern
ment to grasp the opportunity that was
lately presented for acquiring possession
of the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific
railroads will only be the signal for ad
Vocates of government ownership to press
the merits of their theory, and we may
expect to see that very question put more
gressional campaigns than ever before.
Indeed, there are many among the so-called
conservative thinkers who will now admit
that the general government could con-
duct the carrying business of the country,
but they win not admit the expediency of
such function. But we may leave the
ethical aspects of the question for the
present and look at 1t from the unsenti-
mental view point of a cold business propo-
sltion. And what do we see when the
matter Is viewed In this way? We see, say
ing nothing about the millions of acres of
lands. the title deeds to which was given
to railroads. deny that human authority
has any right to give or sell land-but
taking no account of the homes that were
stolen from the people in order that those
great corporations might profit thereby,
we see, as the final act In the greatest
political tragedy known to history, a
mighty nation under a business admin
istration" Of its affairs, giving up to a
soulless corporation, composed largely of
foreigners, property valued at $4,000 900,
and which earns per cent. on that amount
annually.
No one has disputed Senator Harris
statement that the Kansas Pacific railroad
property Is worth at least S25 600 900, yet
the present administration adds another
black chapter to American political history
and allows the reorganization committee
to buy in this public thOrOughfare for less
than one-half Of its admitted value and
virtually makes the syndicate present OF
a sum equal TO that which is received for
the governments claim.
And yet there are actually men In Amer
lea to-day who say that they believe our
railway, banking, telegraph and express
systems are the best that can be devised
Well, it may be that they really think so,
but investigation of the theory of gov
ernment ownership will show the reason
ableness of the idea, and a study of the
system as 1t Is actually carried on in sew
eral countries will show It's real practi-
cability and benefits to the people.
The past of the two old organizations
will rise up and haunt them from now on
The record Of political chlcanery in the
United States for the past six years Is
enough to condemn this nation. Unless the

outraged justice, and the word failure
will be written in letters OF blood across
the record of the greatest representative
government in the worlds history. Public
control will not do. The people must abso-
lutely own all Of the public utilities, and
