WON'T PAY Or. HOSKINS
Scrap Narrowly Averted in County
Commissioner Office

There was a disturbance with intent to
scrap in the commissioners Office yester-
day, and for while, It is said, it looked
very much like somebody was going TO
be knocked down and dragged out Or.
Hoskins, county physician year before
last, claims that the county still owes
him in the neighborhood Of $50 for extra
services rendered over and above the
stipulated salary The commissioners
viii not allow the account. They say It
is unjust and not submitted in proper
shape for them to act upon. When the
old board refused to re-appoint DR.. Hos
bins last winter he is said to have got
offended. After a while he presented a.
bill for extra services. amounting to $50
The account was not itemized. and Mr.
Howard refused to accept it at all. Mr.
Wilson and Mr.. Sealock thought he ousnt

Mr. Howard should be with them. When
Mr.. Howard came he favored allowing
DR.. Hosltins the SO only when he should
submit an itemized statement Of the ex-
ira services. Thereupon the matter drop-
came in with his tented statement
This was months after the last action
was taken and the board had almost for
gotten him. The itemized statement vas
only itemized for one month. and the
other months We're averaged upon the
business OF that month This did not
suit the board yesterday and they again
refused 10 allow the bill. DR.. Hoskins got
very wroth and talked loud. He vac,il-

CITY WINS ITS FIGHT
Injunction Asked by Dixie Lee
Is Refused.
JUDGE DALE'S OPINION
Not One Point of Law in
Favor of Plaintiff.

The city won in the injunction suit
brought by Dixie Lee to prevent the va
cation OF Wichita street Judge Dale de-
cided yesterday that the plaintiff had no
case and refused to allow the injunction.
The suit had created probably more in
terest than any other of the kind ever
tried in the district court of this county.
Judge Dale began hearing the arguments
at o'clock, and the entire case was dis
posed Of by l o'clock. The arguments OF
the attorneys were very brief, but were
crowded full Of law. City Attorney Helm
and David smyth sustained the interests
of the city admirably and made d brill
liant fight. Every law point raised by
them was sustained by the court, and
every other point raised by the other side
was over-ruled.
Judge Dale rendered a verbal opinion
as soon as the arguments closed, and it
was short, outside of some opinions on
side issues which he referred 10. When
he got to the law in the case he said he
did not see wherein Dixie Lee would be
damaged any in the proposed vacation of
Wichita street. The city had not depriv-
ed her Of the means Of ingress or egress
to or from her property and any action
which the city has taken in the matter
could not be taken for what the Missouri
Pacific would attempt to do. IF the rail-
road company laid its tracks too close
to her sidewalks, or did anything that
would injure her property she would have
recourse at law against the company,
but not against the city. Judge Dale said
the plaintiff had no standing in this court
and the case would be considered purely
as to the rights Of property.
It was reported last night that Dixie
Lee would appeal the case, but there are
few who believe that she viii do so, as
the case Is SO plainly unjust that no court
would sustain her in the action.

ARKANSAS CITY SUED AGAIN
Randall Company Bring Action to Col
Iect Interest on WaterVvorlzs Bonds

Arkansas City is again in trouble over
its waterworks. The United States dis
trict court officials say that they have
been kept busy by continuous number
of suits ever since Arkansas City has had
a water system. When the system was
put in, the deal got mixed up in some
way and ever since its completion has
been tied up in some kind Of litigation.
Last fall, however, the matter was
Strengthened up in the courts and was
thought to be settled But the whole
case is again reopened by the Randall
company bringing suit TO compel the city
to pay g, 400 OF back interest. This in
terest Is on part of the debt which the
city incurred and has been accommodating
for some time. The case will come up
during the March term of the federal
court.

HONOR FOR WH|TLOCk
Chosen President of Society of
Labor and Industry
ELECTION WAS UNANIMOUS
Office Is important 01e--HiS
Work for Labor.

George F. Whitlock, the good natured
end efficient foreman Of the Eagle ster-
eotyping rooms, was yesterday elected
president Of the Kansas Society Of La
Dor and Industry at the meeting in To
peka. The election was by reclamation,
the convention being fairly taken of its
feet in the enthusiasm which the men
ton Of his name brought. The society is
one Of the most important labor organi-
cations in the state and has 500 delegates
10 the annual meeting and over 1900
members in the state. This society elects
the state commissioner Of labor, one of
the most important offices in Kansas, ard
Mr. Whitlocxs position viii be doubly
important on this account, as the com
missioner is to be elected al the next
meeting. Every labor organization N the
state is q member of this society and
sends delegates to its meetings.
To be elected in such hattering way
as its chief officer is a compliment which
IS worthy Of the best and most repre-
Sentative member of organized labor in
Kansas, an honor which Mr. WhitIock
viii bear with the same calm dignity
shat manifests itself in his every day
life.
Mr.. Whiaock has always been one of
the foremost and most trustworthy rep
resentadves Of labor in this city. He has
Cor twelve years been an important officer
of Wichita typographical Union, No. 14s
He was president Of the old Central
Labor Union and on the reorganization
of that body was unanimously chosen
president again, filling the Office for two
terms. and it was only at his own urgent
request that he was allowed to retire
from the office. On his retirement he was
presented with a fine gold-headed cane
by the members Of the organization as
q token Of their esteem Of his splendid
services.
Mr.. Whitlock has always been looked
upon as one Of the most conservative men
n the ranks Of union labor. His cool
judgment has been relied upon many
times and his counsel has often been
sought and respected. To him as much
as to any. other one man is due the solid
strength Of organized labor in this city.
The Wichita delegates will return from
Topeka today, and there will go out
many a glad hand to George Whitlock
on the honor that has been shown him.

into consideration the money which the
county formerly had TO pay to justices Of

had 70 pay as high as 500 a month TO the
justices, which sum is now somewhat
curtasled in maintaining the city court.
