REVENUE OF CITIES ATTACKED.
Claim Made That all Fines Must Go to
the School Fund

the School Fund.
Topeka, July IA question has
been raised in the Topeka Amity Club
liquor case in the Kansas court of APP
peals which is of vital Importance to
every city in the United States which
has adopted the monthly fine system
of handling the joints.
In the Amity Club case it is contend
ed by the defense that all ordinances
providing that money derived from
fines shall be turned into the general
revenue funds of the cities are uncou-
stitutional. 1t is argued that such or
dinances framed after the state law
and in line with it's provisions are
penal laws and the constitution pro-
vides: THAT the proceeds of fines for
any breach of the penal laws shall be
exclusively applied to the support of
the common schools" This is section
G of article vi. of the constitution.
Under it, the attorneys for the de-
Tense say, all fines must be turned into
the school fund instead of the revenue
fund, and that any ordinance which
directs the disposition Of the money
otherwise is unconstitutional and void.
Attorney General GODDARD says it
never has been the practice to turn
fiSes collected in police courts over to
the common school fund, and he doubts
if the courts will hold that the money
should go there. 1t has always been
turned into the general fund to help
pay the expenses of the city govern
mcnt. Only fines collected in state
courts have been turned into the school
fund, and he believes that the courts
will hold that the constitutional pro-
vision only applies to state courts and
not to police courts in cities.

K|ONA -COMANCHE LANDS.
Allotment Delayed Lack Of An Ap-
preparation.
NEW LINE TO BE OBSERVED.

washington, July lO.-All arrange
ments have been perfected for the
allotments for the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache Indians. The preliminary
work has occupied the Indian division
of the department of the interior for
some days past, and it has been def
nitely shaped. The instructions gov
erning the work of the allotment have
been issued. They show that Inspec-
tor Mesler and Special Agents e. B.
Reynolds and A. Chawley will have
the responsibility of making the allot-
ments. The instructions cover every
possible development in the work. 1t
is expected that they will leave within
week for the reservation, and, work
ing in conjunction with Col. Randlett,
the agent in charge of the reservation,
will soon have the matter well in
hand. Some special agents under the
general allotment acts will be with
drawn and money appropriated under
that act is to be used.
Although the instructions issued to
the inspector and general agents direct
them to finish the work within ninety
days, it is recognized here that this
will be impossible and the work of
allotment will still be in progress
when congress convenes next Decem-
Der. What effect this will have upon
the opening of the reservation cannot
be said, but it is thought that it will
be none other than to postpone the
date for the opening. All interested
will have TO face the proposition that
the ninety-day requirement is an i'm
possibility.
Each of the special agents will have
the assistance of corps of surveyors,
who will do the technical work of
locating the boundaries of each allot
ment.
The instructions inform the special
agents that every member of the Co
manche, Kiowa and Apache tribes over
lC 1cdIo VI age nave OiiC - hp w
select for himself 100 acres of land, to
be held and owned in severalty. The
father, if he be dead the mother, of
members of either of the tribes named,
shall have the power to select like
amount of land for each of his children
under the age of IS years.
The agents of the department are
cautioned not to allow selections of
allotments to be made in any part of
the reservation now occupied for mil
itary school or religious purposes, or
now held for public uses. In every
case where member of one of the
tribes was already in the reservation
the agents are instructed to allow them
to make their selections in the regions
already located and improved, so that
these Indians may retain their i'm
provements. They are expected to
urge upon the Indians the selection of
the best lands for agricultural pur-
poses.
The new line of the Kiowa and Co
manche reservation is to be observed.
The line recently established trans
ferred a large portion of the Kiowa
and Comanche reservation into that of
the ChicSasaws, and a similar portion
of the Chickasaw reservation into that
of the Kiowas and Comanches.

that the first shad ever taken across the
continent were transported by the late
Seth Green of Rochester under the auspices
OF the California fish commission in the
wear 1871. Mr.. Green started with the young
fry Matched in the Hudson river on June
10 of the above year and deposited them 20
miles up the Sacramento river In good con-
dition on June 26. 1871, in the presence OF
two members of the California commission.
Mr. Livingston Stones first successful trip
under the auspices Of the United States
fish commission started from the Hudson
river June 25, 1873, and the shad were de-
posted in the Sacramento river at Tehama
on July 2, 1873 Other shipments followed
these, all Of which were instrumental in es-
tablishing this superior food hsh on the Pa
cific coast. 1t is truly stated In your arti-
Gle that had the commission done nothing
but this it would have more than paid for
its cost.
AS an illustration Of the remarkable In
crease Of shad in the waters OF the Pacihc
coast I quote the following from the report
of the United States fish commission Tor
the year 1898:
"In 1892 the catch had become SO large
that the price at which the fish were re-
tailed in San Francisco was only or 3
cents per pound, two fish often being sold
for Is cents. At times the San Francisco
bay fishermen were able to sell their catch
at only 1 cent pound While a few years
ago the average weight was only two and
a half or three pounds, 1t is now somewhat
over four pounds. and large numbers OF
specimens weighing eight pounds or more
are taken'' CHESTER K. GREEN.
