KANSAS SUPREME COURT.
A Number of Cases Decided Which
People Have Been Watching.
MoSTINTERESTING DECISIONS.

Topeka, Nov. 14.-Among decisions
handed down by the supreme court, is
the case from lola involving the taxa
ton of dogs by city ordinance. The
defense was that the dog in the case
was personal property and should be
taxed as such The court held that
the tax must be paid. This ends the
tax.
! A man was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for burglary. He stole chickens
and to do so he removed post which
was braced against the chicken house
door. The lower court found him
guilty of burglary for removing the
prop. The supreme court sustained
the lower court.
The court holds that payment of
money for a policy to an agent of an
insurance company is literally a pay
ment to the company itself, and holds
that the company is Immediately liable
there being no difference as to the To-
cation of the money; in the hands of
the agent or in the treasury of the
company in another state.
The Topeka city court bill was de-
clared to have been legally passed by
the legislature and to be constitution
al. It was claimed that the law was
not passed regularly. The court held
that the bill having been duly enrolled
and approved by the governor, its va
Idity cannot be impeached except by
evidence of the clearest and most I'M
doubted character.
In the Faloon-Stuart judgeship case
the court held that the senate had no
authority to declare the Office of judge
vacant. 1t held that the only way a
judge could be ousted was by a two
thirds vote of both houses of the legis-
lature, and not by a majority vote Of
the legislature. In other words, a
judge mnst be impeached. The senate
started out to try a contest. 1t wound
up by declaring that Stuart was elected
on the face of the returns, but claimed
he was not entitled to the office because
he gave a man cigar few days be-
fore election, in violation of the election
law. It issued an order ousting him,
but he held on. The supreme court
held that the action of the senate did
not operate to create vacancy or to re-
move the judge from office. The opin-
ion was unanimous.
The court held the screen law con-
stitutional, the law of 1897 prohibiting
the screening of coal before it is
weighed.
An appeal will be taken to the Uni
ted States supreme court on the consti-
tutional question as to whether the act
interferes with the right contract.

mourners and their desire for display.

The emperor of Japan is entitled to

of Japan has genealogical tree which
reaches to Adam. There have been
121 emperors of Japan, and they all
belong to this family. The first one
governed Japan just about $500 years

before Alexander the Great thought
he had conquered the world. The

THAT SECRET TREATY MYTH.

It Would be an Impossibility Under Our
Constitution.
Washington, Nov. 13.-The latest re-
port from London, to the effect that a
secret treaty between Great Britain
and the United States and China has
been arranged to preserve the integ-
rity of China and maintain the ''open
door," is denied most positively here
by no less an authority than the Secre-
tary of State.
''There is not a word of truth in it,
said Mr.. Hay. ''Under our constitu-
ton there would be no validity in such
an arrangement. A secret treaty with
a foreign government, except a modus
Vivendi, which is merely temporary
and provisional, and is always made
a treaty must be ratified by the Senate.
You cannot exaggerate the impossible
ty of such a thing"
The only official interest the United
States has in the partition of China is
in preserving American trade rights in
GhdC country. 1nlS government uoeS
not care to be a party to the dismem-
berment of China, although there is
ample reason to suppose that continen-
tai powers would be only too glad to
assist the United States in obtaining
actual possession of some Chinese terri
tory, thus securing practical indorse-
ment of their partition scheme and
getting rid of the bugaboo of American
interference in the plans for dismem,
berment.
