to Nomination.
ONLY ONE VOTE SHORT.
Nominee an Old Time Kansan
and Well Known.

It required 1874 ballots to nominate a
Republican candidate for judge in the
Twenty-third judicial district at Oakley
yesterday. James H. Reeder. of Ellis
county, was chosen on that ballot
Reeder led throughout the balloting.
On the start he received the four votes
from Ellis county. three from Logan and
two from Wallace, while Cove
county divided, giving Reeder two and
John A Nelson received the three T'rego
didate, one. Harry Pestana received the
seven votes Of his home county, Russell,
While Nelson received the three Trego
county votes in addition TO the one from
Cove county, SO that on the start the
vote stood: Reeder, Il: Pestana, Z; Mel
son, f. It required Z to nominate.
Several times Pestana's seven votes
went to Nelson, but Reeder's stayed by
him, and it was a tie between him and
Nelson. On the one hundred ana
eighty-fourth ballot the Cove county
delegate who had been supporting Mel
son went to Reeder and broke the dead
lock.
Mr.. Reeder. the successful candidate,
is an old-time attorney of Hays City.
He has for several years been clerk of
the court of Spanish claims, which has
been adjudicating the old alleged Span
ish and Mexican land grants in the
southwest.
John A Nelson is county attorney of
Trego county and H. L. Pestana is state

instruction. who is looking after Frank
Nelson's interests for denomination; D.

PREFERRED CREDITORS.
Savings Depositors in Wrecked Bank
So Declared by Court.

Detroit. April 1e.-The Wayne circuit
court today handed down a decision hold
ing that the savings depositors of the
wrecked City Savings bank must be pre-
ferred over the commercial deposltors in
the distribution of the money to be real
lied from the sale of the bankers real es-
tate investments.
The court holds that the proofs show
that the real estate loans amounting to
sos. 2S2 were made from the savings depart
ment that the interest was turned into
the savings department and that the fail
ure of the bank was virtually failure Of
the commercial side of the bank by over
drafts and mismanagement.
THE court also traces $l1l. 500 to the saw
ings bank side and holds that it also be-
longs exclusively to the savings depositors.
Both che real estate loans and this last
sum, the court holds, shall al their face
value go to pay the debt of the bank to
the savings depositors. but both items
shall contribute to the expenses of the re
ownership
The court says that it has no power
even in equity to take away assets owned
and reported in the savings branch and
give them to the commercial division
It is further held that the savings de-
partment is general creditor of the
commercial department to the amount of
about $500. 600 and shall share with the
other creditors in the distribution of the
commercial assets.
If this decision is upheld by the supreme
court, where the case VIII be carried It
will result in the savings depositors get
ting probably 20 to so per cent Of their
claims while the amount the commercial
deDOSitorS will receive Is greatly reduced

WLE GO 0VER.
YinewoOd Franchise Not COnsid-
cred by Judiciary Committee.

Thursday evening a meeting of the
judiciary committee of the council is to
be held for the purpose of considering
the Vinewood Park railway franchise.
1t is not likely that any definite action
viii be decided upon at this meeting.
because Councilman Clancy is absent
from the city. and viii not be present
at the meeting. The committee is com
posed of Samuel T.Howe, ehaiTmna, and
Councilmen Bergundthal and Clancy.
At the present time, five of the coun-
cflmen are certain to vote against grants
ing the proposed franchise. two are
pledged to vote for the measure and
five votes are in doubt. with a strong
probability that two OF these votes viii
be against granting the franchise when
the tine comes. If things work out as
it seems likely they viii, the franchise
VIII be defeated.
The suggestion has been urged consid-
erably Of late that the franchise be
granted with the proviso that il the
Vinewood park road ever becomes a
terminal for j Kansas City line, the
franchise shall thereby be revoked ana
annulled. This suggestion is meeting
with so much favor that the attorneys
fer the Ninewood company are devoting
all their energies to squelehing it. They
do not want a franchise with such q
proNiso This is the strongest possible
evidence that the purpose of the Vine
wood company is to sell out TIE fran
chise for 4 big sum to a Kansas City
line
If Topeka wants a Kansas city line
said one councilman today, 1t should
not grant this franchise TO the Vine
wood company. The Vinewood company
undoubtedly expects to sell its fran
elise. if it gets one, at big profit I
believe that the city itself ought to get.
this profit We could make a Kansas
City line pay we'll for a franchise, and
I don't believe in giving away such a
valuable privilege"
This seems TO be the general senti-
nent of the council. There is not much
opposition to the Vinewood franchise,
provided the anti Kansas City proviso
is added. but unless such a proviso is
added, the proposed franchise viii in all
probability be defeated.
