A CHANCE FOR SNYDER.
May Escape Conviction Under
Statute of Limitation.

St. Louis. Oct. 3-when the trial of
Robert Snyder. banker and promoter,
charged with perjury in connection with
the Central Traction bill was resumed in
Judge Ryan's court today Circuit Attor-
ney Folk began the task of proving that
the defendants case did not come under
the statute of limitations and therefore
he was not exempt from prosecution.
The Missouri statute of limitations
reads:
I'm all cases, the time during which any
defendant shall not have been an inhabit-
ant OF or usually resident within this
state shall not constitute any part of the
limitations"
The period of Limitation for bribery is
three years.
1t Is the states contention that Snyder
has been a resident of New York for the
greater part of the time since the central
traction bill was passed in 1898, and can
not therefore receive the benefits of the
statute of limitations.
The defense will undertake to show that
he lives and has lived al Kansas City.
The question will turn on the meaning
of the words ''inhabitant" and resident
contained iR the statute.
The controversy over the meaning of
these words in their relation to Snyder
commenced last night when Alexander
Konta was called to the stand as a wit
ness for the state. question as to where
Snyders residence was from March, 1899.
to April, 1900. propounded by the circuit
attorney. caused a lengthy debate to be
entered into by opposing counsel as to the
significance of the words.
Immediately after converting court this
morning Judge Ryan decided that the
matter of Snyder's residence was one of
fact that the jury would have to decide
after hearing the evidence. He ruled that
the statute of limitations meant in effect
that mans residence was the place
where he personally lived.

POLES ARE CHOPPED.
New Orleans Railway Company
Don't Try to Move Cars.

New Orleans. La. Oct. Sup to 10
o'clock this morning the New Orleans
railway company had made no effort
to start cars. During the night feed
wires were cut, poles chopped and other
means resorted to to make it difficult
to operate cars.
The morning papers contain adver-
tisements for 1000 motormen and con-
ductors. They stated that only the res
ldents of New Orleans need apply.
kilograms from other cities say that
the company was seeking outside labor,
but this the company IS not willing to
admit and refers to its advertisement to
show that 1t desires only home labor.
The strikers. however, are suspicious,
and today there were pickets at all the
railroad stations in anticipation of the
arrival of foreign laborers.
The weather continues fine and the
discomfort Of the public is somewhat
lessened. Efforts are being made by dis
interested persons to bring the represen-
tatives of the cOntending factions to-
gether. Hope has not been abandoned
of an amicable settlement.

CHANGE SIDEWALK TAX.
Mr.. Bergundthal Has a Scheme
Which Looks Equitable.

Councilman Bergundthal has submit
ted a question to the county commits
sioners for decision which may change
the tax system in Topeka materially.
The system now is for the owner of
corner lots to pay the sidewalk tax for
the walks along the two streets of the
lot The point Mr. Bergundthal raises
is that half the lots In the block should
bear the sidewalk tax assessed for the
sidewalk on the width of the lots and
that the owner of the lots should only
be required to pay the full tax for the
sidewalks in front of the lots.
