Judge Graves DecIines

Judge G. B. Graves of Emporia, who
was named as one of the judges OF the
new court of visitation Monday by
Governor Stanley, did not qualify
along with Judges Crum and Postle.
thwaiIe Thursday, nor will he. He
notified Governor Stanley to that
effect today. Speaking of the matter
Judge Graves said: "On account OF
my private business at home cannot
afford to take the place"
Several of Judge Graves most inti-
mate personal and political friends
endeavOred to yet him to change his
mind and accept, but he emphatically
refused the appointment.
This opens up the fight again. 1t
Is probable that the friends of James
Simpson Of Mcpherson, will now insist
on his appointment. He will make
no further effort himself, however.
There is nothing additional for him
to do, he says. The governor knows
all about him, and it is useless for
him to do anything more. Bob Hiser
OF Usage county, is considered a strong
factor in the race, while the Topeka
contingent believes J. A. Troutman
has good show of securing the place.
Lit Crum and ]. G. Postleth waite,
twoof the judges, qualified Wednesday
by taking the oath, which was admin.
istered by Chief Justice Doster
They will hold their first meeting
today, but will probably not take apy
action on appointments or other
matters until Governor Stanley an.
nounces the appointment of another

possible to say how much OF this
stupendeus sum is in excess of actual
values. or course each individual
combination can make statements to
show its ability land presumably it
expects) to earn interest on its full
capitalization. Perhaps if the organ
ization had been spread over a large
period OF time, if the process had
been more gradual, the public would
not have regarded the movement as
lllegitimate or as anything more than
an inevitable outcome of the play of
the forces at work in modern com.
mercial life. As it is, however, it
must be confessed that the enormous
majority Of the American people look
upon the situation with profound

feeling in the fact that if there are
any individual concerns which are
hopelessly inflated, their collapse
must come sooner or later; and in
their ruin they will drag others, good
and bad alike. When such a day Of
reckoning arrives, if it ever does, it is

and he died few hours after.
Swinney professed to be bad man

frequent troubles with the police

a dirk knife constantly. Last night
when the trouble occurred he had DO

with such terrible effect.
While Mattox left here with the
determination to surrender to the
officers, it is now evident that he is
doing bis utmost to get away, and is
following his usual bold policy.

him in this killing, although sympa-

his wife because she would not agree

passing judgment: "In this case the
wife was more guilty than the hus
band, for trying to contradict and
thwart her husbands will In the pres
ence OF the children and setting them
a bad example, which he had a right
to rebuke. There are times when
wife irritates her husband to such an

Lincoln Swinney by Clyde Mattox:
Clyde Mattox has added another
killing to his list of victims. Lincoln
Swinney, an Usage ranchman, was cut
to death last night by Mattox In a
quarrel in the White House Club
saloon in this city. Immediately after
the cutting Mattox disappeared and
was not seen until this morning when
he met friends near this city who
advised him to go to Newkirk to give
himself up to the officers. He was
seen at Kildare driving black horse
on his way toward the Usage country.
Officers Pierce, Frey and Jennings
were half heur behind him in pur.
suit. They started after him from
this city after hearing that he had
gone to surrender.
The trouble between Mattox and
Swinney was brewing only a yery
short time. Swinney was drunk and
Quarrelsome, and had two encounters
