Texas Cooperation owes the Ksr...
Concern About Five MslIion DOL
lars on Mortgage.

Dallas, Texas, january 1s.-wora
reached Dallas tonight that counsel for
John D. Rockefeller and the other bond
holders Of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas
Railway company would move at a very
early date for the appointment of re-
ceiver, 1t the hands OF some Federal Judge
authorized to act in the premises, for the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Com
pany OF Texas. The information comes
from reliable sources and is thought to be
perfectly Trustworthy j
Since the instlgation OF the action for
forfeiture Of the charter of the Texas cor
poration, filed In the Dallas district court
by Attorney General Crane Saturday last,
Missouri, Kansas and Texas counsel have
been busy endeavorins to find loophole
Of escape from the predicament into which
the State had plunged them. The news
tonight, therefore. does not come unex-
poctedly. Lawyers familiar with the sit
uation say no State court OF Texas can APP
point receiver for a railroad corporation
till after It's charter is forfeited. and that
as the Missouri, Kansas and Texas charter
can not be forfeited judicially until jan
uary "a, the date for the hearing before
Judge Smith, any Federal Judge having ju-
risdiction in Dallas can, at his discretion,
appoint receiver for the Katy's Texas
property before that time. It is contended
that Justice White of the supreme court,
Circuit Judges Mccormick and Pardee.5
who are now In New Orleans, or District
Judge Meek of Dallas could act; The
Missouri, Kansas and Texas of Texas owes
the Missouri. Kansas and Texas company
approximately 100000 Of first mortgage
bonds. 1t is expected tn the Rookie
teller interests will foreclose on this In
debtedness within the next week and ask
for the appointment Of a receivN for all
the Texas property OF the Katy system be-
fore the State can take any move 1t has
not already made.

People who desire to see what badly
wrecked train looks like may visit the
Houston and Texas Central railroad track
at the car shops and there will be found
the entire train which was wrecked AT Nc
Kinney several days ago. There are six
fiat cars on which sections of the coaches
are loaded, also one or two OF the cars
which wore able to come through on their
own wheels. The chair car appears one
of the worst demolished the entire sides
being mashed In almost fiat together. The
wonder is how any one escaped from it

VETOED THE BILL.
Nebraska's Governor Cannot Approve
the Philippine War.

Nebraska's Governor Cannot Approve of
the Philippine War.
LINCOLN, NEB., April 1.-Governor
Poynter tonight sent a message to
che legislature vetoing the Senate
bill which commends the First Ne
braska regiment in the Philippines.
The language in the bill objected to
by the Governor says:
THAT we acknowledge with graft
tude and joy, the debt that the state
owes them by reason of honor con-
ferred upon it by their valor while
defending in the Philippines the
principles of our government and
adding new glory to our flag"
The Governor, in his veto, says:
II cannot stultify myself and the
calm judgment of the thinking peo-
pie of this commonwealth by giving
official approval to the statement
that the war of conquest now carried
on in the Philippines is in defense of
the principles of our government
and is adding new glory to our flag"
The senate promptly passed the
bill over the veto, but like effort
failed in the house, the pOpulists
voting sOlidly to sustain the Govern
