Why the Wichita and Western Road
Was Abandoned.

The following communication from
the halfway Age explains itself:
Lawrence, Kan, Feb. II, 1899.
To the Editors:
In a recent number of the Railway
Age communication from the receiver
of the Wichita & Western railroad
states that since he has been receiver
of said road about fOrty-four miles of
the line west of Pratt has been aban-
doned and the rails taken up; and in
an editorial you refer to this as one of
the results of hostile Populist legis-
lation.
reference to map of Kansas will
show that for the entire distance the
forty-four miles of abandoned road par
alleled the Rock Island road. The
tracks were often so near together that
they looked like the double tracks of
one railroad company. And at the end
of the -fOrty-four miles you are at Null
HnVille in a bleak, bare prairie. Pratt
itself is in a part of Kansas where the
crops begin to be doubtful, and every
mile west from there the uncertainty
increases. The Rock Islands line eX-
tends many miles beyond Mullinville,
and its trains run over the entire mile
age every day, and it is doubtful wheth-
er the expense of so doing is covered
by the earnings on the business of that
poor country. How, then, could a sec
Ond road. serving the same territory.
and passing through the same towns,
expect to do anything? If Populist
or any other legislature had never been
heard OF, that second road could not
have earned its salt; and under any
legislative conditions it would have been
the part of wisdom to take up the
rails. They never should have been
put down in the first instance.
1t never hurts a party or movement
to blame it for something it is not re-
sponsible for. Therefore, I hope you
will make the necessary correction in
this matter in the next number of the
Railway Age. w. F. PRESBY.

VETERANS NOT FOR ERWIN
Rights Association Did Not
Endorse the Republican
Ticket.

The Veterans Rights Association was
reported to have endorsed John ]. Erwin
at it's meeting on Friday night. A mem
ber of the Veterans Rights Association
said last night
.It was not the real Veterans Rights
Association which endorsed Erwin and
Fisher. 1t seems to have been new
organization which grew out of the old
Veterans Rights Association. under
stand that there were just thirteen
present, two of whom were Republicans.
The Veterans Rights Association fought
the committee which selected the design
of the Soldiers and Sailors monument.
John G. Fisher was a member of that
committee
Frank O'Cole, said last night
''The Veterans Rights Association has
nothing to do with Grand Army Posts.

THE SOCIALIST FIGHT.
Lippincott Hears the KRAFT and
Jacobs Argument.

The fight between the rival fctions of the
Socilist Labor Union for official recogni-
tion, one led by Tom Jacobs and the
other by Frederick Kraft, will be before
Justice Lippincott this afternoon. Lawyer
George McEwan, the exCongressman's 8
brother. having obtined an order from
Justice Lippincott to take testimony. Mr..
McEwan represents the Kraft faction and
he desires the court to reverse the de-
cision of County Clerk Fisher recognizing
the Jacob faction and deciding that they
were entitled to the official ballots.
The Jacob faction held their convention
first and filed their certificate Of nomina-
tion. The Kraft faction came along about
a month afterward and tried to file their
certificate, but it was rejected.
Justice Lippincott looked weary when
the application was being argued and ap-
parently considered that the Courts valu-
able time was being wasted. Mr.. Nc
Evan claimed that the Kraft faction is
the only genuine one and is recognized by
the national organization. Testimony will
be taken this afternoon.

SITES EXAMINED.
High School Committee Con
siders Locations for the
New Building.

The members of the new High School
Committee met In Chairman James q.
Hulshizer, Jr.'s, offices in the Title Guar
antee & Trust Cempany's building this
morning for the purpose Of considering
the site for the new building.
All the sites offered to the committee
were individually examined, and the data.
diagrams and arguments accompanying
each carefully weighed. Some Of the sites
were rejected because of size and loca-
tion, and the committee finally selected
two or three which they will inspect on
Wednesday morning next.
Their deliberations will be presented to
a joint meeting with the Board of FL
nance some time this week. The fnanciers
will also go over each side named in orr
der that no one can say that his par
ticular offer was rejected without due ex-
animation of It's merits.
When "a site has been determined upon
and approved by the Board of Finance
and finally by the Mayor, the money ques-
tion will be taken up
Mayor Hoos declines to discuss the site
question and Chairman Hulshizer OBJ
serves the same reticence. He, with his
colleagues on the committee, are giving
painstaking attention to each site offered
to the end that when their judgment Is
made known their course will meet with
public approval.

COULDN'T GET A posTpoNEHEaT
Sa1ter and PeshalI Had to Proceed
With RiIey's Defence.

The trial of James Riley a well known
real estate dealer on an Indictment for OBJ
tanning money under false pretences was
set down for this morning in the General
Sessions Court. Lawyers Salter and
PeshaN appeared for him. Riley had or
iginally engaged Alderman Bedle to de-
fend him, but Mr.. Bedle abandoned the
| case.
Mr. Salter made a strong plea to have
the trial postponed for week. He said
THAT he and Mr. PeshaH were engaged for
"a few days and they had been unable to
prepare themselves. They had applied at
the County Clerks office for a copy of the
indictment, but it had not been fled there
Mr.. Peshal went to the Prosecutors office
on Friday and Saturday but was unable to
see the Indictment because the Prosecu-
tor was out of town and the Assistant
Prosecutor was out of the State. Under
the circumstances be asked that the case
be laid over for week.
Mr.. Van Wrinkle strenuously objected.
He intimated that the changing of Coun-
sci was a trick to secure postponement
and said if this application prevailed sim
liar applications would be made in other
cases. He would respectfully insist, he
said. that the case go on at once.
Judge Blair said that the court was not
inclined to let the case go off, the defend
attn had konwn of it for long time.
Mr. Salter said again that he had not
been able to see the Indictment or get
copy of it and as he thought he might
make a motion to quash he desired time
to read it. He asked for three days, then
one day, then half day and finally an
hour. which was granted.
+ The lawyers and their client left the
court room and remained away an hour.
When they returned they had lawyer
James A, Gordon with them and he made
motion to quash the indictment. Mr..
Van Winkle objected and Judge Blair
denied the motion.
Mr. Van Wrinkle in opening the case
recited the facts the State Intended to
prove. He said that in February, 1894,
John McGrath of No. 321 First street en-
tered into negotiations with Riley to
purchase lot in Centre Hill. Bergen
county. on the instalment plan, for s750.
Riley represented the properly TO be free
and clear of encumbrance- McGrath kept
up his payments until he had paid Riley
5000 Then he learned that the property
had been sold by the Eureka Building
and Loan Association under the foreclo-
sure of mortgage for non-payment OF IN
terest. Riley was treasurer of the as
Riley did not own the property at the
time he sold the property to McGrath, but
he afterward bought it from a man named
Brinkerhoff and son after rnortgaged it 1
to the Eureka Association, of which he
was treasurer. When the mortgage was
foreelosed McGraths 5000 was a dead loss
Mr.. Van Winkle said. The case was still
on at recess.
