ORDERED TO FIGHT.
Kansas City Judge Locks Two Quar-
relsome Lawyers in Room.

Kansas City, June 24-C. A Burney
and l. w Johnson, exhausted the pa
thence of Justice of the Peace Bowling,
by continued quarreling in a law suit.
The judge suddenly adjourned court
and ordered the constable to lock the
doors of the court room.
Now, said the court, in angry tones,
you two lawyers have seen fit to make
a bullpen out of this court room and I'll
let you fight it out. I do not like to
send you to Jail for contempt. You do
not seem to want to try this case in the
usual way, with the law and evidence
as factors, so 1 have adjourned court
in order that you may plunge in and
try the case with your fists. After you
settle the matter to your own SatiSfac-
ton between yourselves, I'll just take a
crack at the winner" and the indignant
judge moved toward the door.
The beligerent attorneys were dumb
founded and began to apologize to the
judge most earnestly. 1t was without
avail however, for Judge Bowling closed
the door in their faces and then secure
ly locked up the court room. He was
pacing up and down the hall with ang-
ceeded in raising one of the windows,
and informed the judge that they had
settled their grievances and were will
ing to apologize to the court for their
conduct. Judge Bowling, after a great
amount of eloquent pleading on the
part Of the prisoners, relented, and aft
er most AFFECT apology was addressed
to the court, the case of King VS.. Boyd
was tried on it's merits, while a salts
fed smile played upon the features of
the oubtable judge.

CAN NOT MAKE LAND.
Illinois Central Beaten in Chicago
Lake Front Case.

Chicago, June 24-The decision of the
state supreme court in the case of the IL
linofs Central railroad against the city in
the matter of filing in land at Twenty
fifth street was received by Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Browning yesterday. At
taches of the city law department are jul
biiant over the ruling of the court which
prohibits the company from filling in the
lake along its right of way for it's pri-
vate use.
The case has been in the courts for near
" a year. The company began to fill in
land at Twenty-ffth street and Mayor
Harrison sent word to the police to stop
the work. The company then applied to
the courts for an Injunction. Judge Free
man refused to grant it, and the supreme
court sustains him. Assistant Corpora
ton counsel Browning said:
The decision is great victory for the
city and will in the future prevent the
company from filing in the lake front for
its own uses Under its charter the COM
pany can only fill in the lake and make
land 70 aid navigation or in the interest of
some improvement calculated to benefit
submerged land in trust for the people"

Kansas Lines Preparing For
Wheat Shipments.
Santa Fe Will Have 800 New
Cars.
OKLAHOMA is FIRST.
Wichita and Western Between
Cullison and Pratt
OKLAHOMA is FIRST.
Likely to- Be Torn Up and Ma
terial Sold.

The Kansas railroads are already max
ing preparations for moving the immense
wheat crop of Kansas and Oklahoma.
Box cars that have been travelling over
the country on foreign lines are being
collected and repaired preparatory to use.
Every box car is given a season in the
shops for a thorough overhau ling, and
by the time the wheat movement COM
mences the rolling stock of the freight de-
partments of the Kansas roads will be in
shape to stand several months of contin-
ued heavy traffic.
While all the roads are preparing for the
wheat movement, the Santa Fe, because
OF the fact that it has double the wheat
territory OF any of the other Kansas roads,
Is making more extensive preparations.
Besides oyerhauling and repairing all box
cars now in service, the carpenter DEPART
ment at the shops in this city is turning
out new cars at the rate of two a day.
One hundred new box cars were complet-
ed short time ago, and over 200 more
will have been turned out by the time the
wheat crop requires attention.
Assistant General Superintendent Avery
Turner of the Santa Fe stated today that
the indications pointed to at least one
fourth of the Kansas and Oklahoma wheat
crops going south to Galveston for export
The wheat movement this year is ex-
pected to commence about July Is. The
nrSt wheat will move from Oklahoma.

WILL USE POSTAGE STAMPS.
War Revenue Stamps Not Ready for
Delivery.

Washington, June 24.-The secretary
of the treasury has decided to make
temporary use of postage stamps for
internal revenue purposes under the
new war revenue act, and the first lot
of about a million has been delivered
for shipment to collectors. 1t Is esti-
mated that about $4,000, 900 postage
stamps will be required to meet the
needs of the service until the regular
issue can be furnished in sufficient
quantities. About 500, coo proprietary
stamps of the regular issue already
have been sent out, and hereafter large
daily shipments will be made. The
Pacific coast will be supplied first, and
then points further east, until the whole
country is covered. The postage stamps
will be largely of the one and two cent
with the initials Il. r." Large guam
titles of these will be delivered to the
telegraph, express, freight and palace
car companies for distribution to their
own offices. This can be accomplished
by the companies themselves more ex-
peditiously than by the government. It
is now thought that practically the
whole country will be supplied with all
classes stamps by July or earlier AS
soon as the revenue collectors receive
the stamps they, in turn, will place
them Immediately in the hands of their
deputies throughout their districts. Ma
tonal banks will be asked, also to as
sist in the distribution of the stamps.
Today the bureau of engraving and
printing broke its record for the num-
Der of stamps turned out in one day

At military headquarters in the

The officers still understand that the
order to sail on Monday will be carried

Executive Officers of Western Roads
Consider Kansas City Situation.

Chicago. June A.-Executfve officers of
western railroad lines were in session
here today trying to reach a settlement
of the live stock rate war. Failing any
other plan, the lines propose to form
pool practically disregarding the law in
the case The situation at Kansas City
has been persisten bad that many
freight men believe their only remedy lies
in pooling The 10 cent rate now in effect
is costing the roads thousa ndS of dollars,
and every attempt to restore rates TO the
tariff basis of 231s cents has so far failed.
The question to whether the railWa vs.
or the shippers should pay the war tax on
bills of lading failed to come before the
meeting, owing to the inability of the
railroad attorneys to agree upon a report.

MUST SUBSCRIBE DIRECT.
Secretary Gage Turns Down Lump
Purchasers of Bonds.

purchasers OF Bonds.
Washington, June 24.-The following
statement was made at the treasury
department today:
Among the many subscriptions for
the smaller amounts of $500 or less re-
ceived by the treasury department
there appear almost daily remittances
from banks and smaller institutions
covering a long list of subscribers in
small amounts. The fact that there is
small premium offered by large would
be investors has stimulated certain per-
sons to secure subscriptions for people
who have no bona fide intention of in
Vesting in the bonds. The proforma
subscriptions thus obtained are then
forwarded by the agency gathering
them in with a draft in a round sum
for payment. 1t is easily seen that
the fair purpose of the law, which
favors an honest subscription by the
citizens of humber means, may be thus
circumvented. The treasury has
Watchful eye out for such abuses and
where the case is clear enough such
subscriptions are unceremoniously re-
turned to the sender.
In other cases where doubt exists the
secretary has prepared and will send
the following letter:
Dear Sir: You are respectfully ad-
vised that the several subscriptions of
cepted. but are held in allegiance for
your further advise.
The duty of this department re-
Quires a reasonable, yet diligent guard
ing of the rights of those in whose be-
half the law has special regard. The
department deems it proper to re-
quire from you a clear and unequivocal
statement that in appearing for the
persons whose names are signed to the
subscription papers you are bonaf1de
acting on their behalf. and not for the
Interior advantage of yourself or any
other interest.
In the absence of a satisfactory
statement from you to this effect the
subscription papers with your check
will be returned to you Respectfully
yours,
LYMAN J. GAGE, Secretary."'
