At last Secretary Alger has |

At last Secretary Alger has re-
signed, and the country ought to
be happy since Alger's withdraw
al is the direct result of popular
clamor. For over year President
Mckinley has stood between AL
ger and the people and party
leaders, unwilling the force the
resignation of a member of the
Cabinet in whom be had personal
confidence. The cry against the
secretary has become so wide
spread, however, that he has final,
ly been sacrificed in the interests
o. the party. There is nothing to
show that there has been any
change in the personal relations of
the President and his secretary.
The detail of the affairs as made
public indicate, that Alger and
his friends have discovered that
he could never retire, except under
fire, and that the political lines
for the Presidential campaign will
be strengthened by withd rawing
Alger from official prominence.

GILLIAN RETAINED AS GENERAL MANAGER
Change Brought About by unexpect-
ed Action OF Trimblc--Mcve Re-
sarded as a Compromises.

Kansas City, Mo-. April 27.--Today be-
fore Judges Thayer and Philips of the
United States circuit court. j. Med. Trim
bic. general counsellor for the Kansas
City. Pittsburg and Gulf railroad, made
surprising move by resigning as one OF
the receivers, Withdrawing the motion to
have the case remanded TO the State court
and dismissing the suit In the State court
by virtue of which Judge Gibson appoint
cd Robert Gillian. e. G.. Martin and J.
Med. Trimble receivers.
The last move nullifed the action of
Judge Gibson and left the case in the
hands OF the two Federal Judges to APP
point whom they please as receivers. The
suit OF the State Trust company Of New
York to foreclose the s23,oOo.oo0 mortgage
still stands on the Federal court docket.
Today's action is in the nature OF a
compromise between the Eastern and
Western interests of the road. but 1t is
said each side will fight for a majority
of the new receivers which the court will
appoint.
Later In the afternoon Webster withers
of this city and S. w. Fordyce of st.
Louis were appointed the receivers OF the
road and the court ordered that Robert
Gillian be retained as general manager
OF the property.
The appointments were received with
considerable surprise and caused much
comment, as 1t was thought that Robert
Gillian and, possibly f. l.. Martin would
be retained on the board OF receivers
Webster Withers is we'll known in KAN

correct errors In It and, II necessary, to
require new census to be taken. There
Is no allegation whatever that tho county
Judge had failed In the performance OF any
Of these duties with respect TO the yoar
1928 Indeed, the amended petition was
Med before the census for 1925 was re-
qulred TO be returned. and II does not APP
pear that the Judge had received, or In
any way been called upon, to act upon a
census for that year. The petition Is
drafted upon the assumption that the law
remained as II had existed prior 10 the
passage OF the statute referred to, when
/, was the duty Of the trustees to prepare
the census; and consequently there Is a
failure to show a refusal to perform any
duty imposed by the law by which the
taking OF the census for 1898, and subse-
qucnt years, must be regulated. n the
statute remained unchanged there is yet
an absence OF any allegation that plaintiff
had ever demanded OF the trustees
proper listing OF his children and OF re-
fusal on their part to comply. There Is,
u is true, general statement that de-
PENDANTS had failed and refused to put the
names Of the children upon the census Of
white children, and the further statement
that they had listed them az colored; but

character OF pleading There shnuld have
been direct ayerments Of the demand upon
the parties charged with the duty, and a
