THE SALOON IN KANSAS.
Interesting Decision Involving Joint
In the Missouri River Channel


Kansas City, April 4-The Kansas
City court of appeals handed down d
number of opinions in contested cases
yesterday. One of the most interesting
was that rendered in a case involving
the boundary line between Missouri
and Kansas and defining the status of
saloons upon that boundary line
The case in question was that of
Charles Keane who was convicted in
the circuit court of St Joseph Of sell
ing liquors in Missouri without a Ii
cense. Keane's saloon was in the old
bed of the Missouri river, a few feet
west of what was the center line of the
former naYigable channel of the river.
He contented that his saloon was in
Kansas and that the Missouri authori-
ties had no jurisdiction, but the prose
cution claimed that the boundary line
was between the two banks of the river
and was measured from what would
have been the center line of the old
course of the river.
The court reversed the judgment of
conviction against Keane and orders
him discharged because his saloon was
in Kansas. The court says in it's decis-
ion:
The question involved here is one of
great Importance. Fortunately, it has
in recent years, received the attention
of several of the highest tribunals of
the country. AS a result of that con-
sideration, there is no longer any doubt
that where navigable river is the
boundary between two states, the exact
line of that boundary is the center of
the navigable channel as distinguished
/ from the center of the river bank to
bank. One great consideration for this
conclusion, as an original proposition,
was that it could hardly be supposed
that either nation would surrender
wholly to the other that portion of the
stream which was its chief value to the
state; that is, that portion which was
capable of bearing upon its surface the
commerce in which all civilized states
are interested. While that considera-
ton is not so forceful between states
like ours under one general government,
yet it is only less in degree, and the or
! iginaI consideration existing as between
| Independent nations is applicable with
| us.
IF there is a gradual change in the
! course of such a stream the river, as il
runs-thar is. the channel of the river
as it runs-will remain the boundary
| But if there is a sudden avulsion, the
river seeking a new course and leaving
the old bed as dry land, as in this case
the new course of the stream will net
mark the boundary; the boundary viii
remain as it was before the sudder
| change-that is, the middle of the navi-
gable channel, as it existed just before
the sudden shifting of the course"

DEWEY'S COLLECTION.
Admiral to Deposit His Trophies in
Smithsonian Institute.


New York, April "A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Admiral Dewey's decision to deposit
his trophies in the hall of history in the
Smithsonian institution is attributed to
his recognition of the disappointment
seers visiting Washington, who were
compelled to forego the pleasure of see
ing the collection, which, for lack of
space, can not well be displayed in his
own house, and which is really too val
liable to be properly cared for in pri-
vate house. He has also been Influenced
by the fact that the articles, which ag-
gregate in intrinsic value about $1O0, 900,
viii be safe when his home is closed
this summer. Under the circumstances
he has readily accepted the offer of Sec
rotary Langley. of the National Mus
ty of the collection.
The officials are having two cases es-
pecially prepared for the collection, to
be placed on the right and left sides of
the main entrance of the museum, in 50
prominent a position that they will not
escape the eye of the most casual visi-
tor They will be surrounded by the
cases containing relics of George Wash
ington, Gen. Hancock and other famous
American statesmen and soldiers and
directly in front of the case assigned for
the uniforms and relies of General
Grant
Admiral Dewey will have the distinc-
ton of being the only living American
to whom a historical case in the mus
cum has been assigned The collection
will be deposited in accordance with an
unwritten rule of the museum that no
contribution can be accepted for less
than two years, so that it will be on ex-
hibitiOn for at least that time, with ev-
cry likelihood never being removed.
The exhibit will be in place by the end
