WILL TEST THE LAW.
Western Union Doesn't Want Tele-
graph Toll Reduced.

Topeka, Kan, May 27.-The constitu-
tionality of the law creating the state
court of visitation and the validity Of
the law reducing telegraph tolls in
Kansas are attacked in a suit brought
in the federal court here today by the
Western Union Telegraph company.
The court of visitation has succeeded
the state railway commissioners and is
vested with control of the railroads,
telegraphs and express lines. The new
telegraph law reduced tolls on ten-word
messages within the state to 10 cents
and 1 cent for each additional word.
Both laws were passed by the Populist
legislature.
The telegraph companies have re-
fused to make the rate prescribed by
law, and Judge Maxwell recently began
proceedings before the court of vista
ton 10 force the Western Union to ac-
cept his messages at the legal rate.
In the suit filed today. the telegraph
company maintains that the court OF
visitation was not legally created and
that the telegraph tolls fixed by the
new law are confiscatory- Federal Judge
Hook Immediately granted a temporary
injunction against the court of vista
ton. enjoining the court from any ac-
ton in the Maxwell case, pending a
hearing on June 10.

The Junction city people are prepar-

the entertainment of the Church of the

entirely free of charge.
Boxes at the entertainment have been

NOT FULLY DECIDED YET AS TO

Chief Newell of the Geological Sur
vey Leaves Washington For Utah,

Investigate the Proposed Irriga-
ton Reservoirs For Arid Lands.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, May 27.-The president
has fully decided to include Denver and
the Yellowstone National park in his
western outing this summer. 1t is not
yet certain whether he will proceed to
points in Utah, Idaho and Montana,
but that is possible. His final announce
ment was made to Senator Carter. who
has been persistent in his efforts to get
the president to the Rocky mountains.
Chief +. II. Newell of the hydo-
graphic division of the geological sur
vey left for the west tonight. He will
stop at the Omaha Trans Mississippi
exposition, and then proceed to the
arid land region. He will visit Colorado,
Utah. Idaho and Montana, in turn in
vestigating the proposed irrigation res
ervoirs and the guaging stations on
leading western rivers where govern
ment measurements of waterfiow are
made.

Chief NewelPs first stop in the noun

visit the Salvation Army settlement in
Colorado. In an interview with The
Herald correspondent this afternoon
the chief gave a strong endorsement to
Congressman Shafroths proposition to
create a new national park at the point
where Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and
Arizona converge. He has noted the
fact that Senator Teller is opposed TO
the bill, but he says that ii is neces-
sary to preserve the invaluable relics of
Cliff Dwellers' civilization. He added:
The mesa is absolutely useless for
settlers. Cowboys are now using the
mesa as a cattle range and are de-
stroying the houses of the Cliff Dwell
ers. There are no private owners in
this section of country, and to say that
its segregation would interfere with pri-
vate ownership is absurd. AS a matter
of fact, if the prehistoric ruins are pre-
served and protected, thousands of
tourists will visit the section, and this

TWO FIRES IN THE HORSESHOE
Firemen Fought Both at the Same
Time.

Two fires occurred almost simultane-
ously in the Horseshoe, and but fifty feet
apart, early yesterday morning Fire box
No 1A was pulled for fire in the black
smith shop at No 146 Eighth street. The
firemen had scarcely arrived upon the
scene when it was discovered that the
four story brick tenement house No. 143
Provost street. just around the corner
from the blacksmith shop was also afire.
Both were burning fiercely. Another
alarm was sent out.
Six families occupied the burning tene-
ment house on Eighth street. The occu-
pants were obliged to escape en- disha-
billie. The escape of one of them was
cut off by the flames on the stairway and
smoke arising therefrom. He was William
Nelson, an occupant of the third floor.
He was rescued by Driver Hague of No.
Truck Company. who took him from
third story window half suffocated and
carried him down a ladder. The tene-
ment house was damaged to the extent
OF 81. 900. 1t is owned by the Reilly es-
tate. The blacksmith shop, which was
damaged to the extent of 5000. is owned
by Daniel Mulrane.
The fire in the tenement hsHse started
under the stairway. An odor of kero-
sene was detected by the fremen. This
fact, with others, led Assistant Engineer
Captain Kelly, who is making an invests
cation. 1t is said there is no insurance
on either of the two damaged buildings.
