hard, Democrat, introduced a bill in
the senate todav to repeal and dissolve
the charter and corporate existence of

to destroy the competition in passenger

these railroads. The preamble goes on
to say that the organization has aroused

governor of Minnesota has already in
stituted suit to prevent the consumma-
ton of the Illegal and injurious purposes
sought to be accomplished by the for
nation of the securities company. The

CHRONICLE GOES UNDER
ID. r.. Anthony Gets a Third
LeavenwOrth Paper.

After a stormy existence of eighteen
months the Leavenworth ChronicleTri-
bune passes into the hands of the man
to fight whom it was originally started,
Colonel D. r. Anthony. Its editor, r.
NJ. Ruggles, formerly the Topeka cor
respondent of the Kansas City World,
has gone, and there are ugly rumors
afloat in Leavenworth concerning an
escapade in which his name was con-
nected with that of a Leavenworth girl,
and for which the girls grandmother
threatened his arrest.
Colonel Anthony now owns all three
of LeavenworthS daily papers. The
Times he has owned and edited for
many years. The Evening Standard
fought him for years as a Democratic
organ, but Anthony secured control
ling interest in its stock year and
half or two years ago. Then Anthony S
enemies started the Chronicle-Tribun
and RuggleS was brought to. Leaven-
worth to edit it. Ever since it started
a most bitter and relentless war mas
waged between Ruggles and Anthony.
The Chronicle-Tribune will be consoli-
dated with the Standard on April IL,
under the management of Fred Slice.
Since the demise Of the Kansas City
Times the Chronicle-Tribune has aspir-
ed to become the organ of the Demo-
cratic party of Kansas. but the Demo-
crOatS have not recognized it officially
and they have not rallied to its support.
Some time ago the ownership of the pa
per passed INTO the hanQS OF the Home
Riverside Coal company and the paper
changed front on some propositions, no.
tably on the issuing of bonds for the
purchase Of the city waterworks. 1t was
during the municipal waterworks cam
pa1gn when the proposition to issue
bonds to buy the waterworlzs was to be
voted on. The Chronicle-Tribune had
been supporting the proposition, but one
day turned about and came out against
it and made bitter fight in opposition
to the proposition, but the bonds car-
ried.
Last night the paper appeared in
demoralized condition with a statement
on the editorial page. signed by Rug
giles, that he had resigned and had left
for Oklahoma. Another statement also
appeared, signed by other members of
the staff, stating that they too had re-
signed
George w. Kierstead. one of the pro-
prietors of the paper, stated that Rug
giles did not resign but was discharged
because of his escapades-

DREW DEFENDS DALEY.
Replies to Charges That He Was Re-
miss in DUTY.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
1 understand that it is being urged
against Mr.. Daley, member of the
school board from the Sixth ward, that
he is remiss in the performance of his
duties.
In the interest of common justica 1
desire to say that I was superintendent
during the construction of the Lowman
Hill and Sumner school buildings, one
of them but lately occupied and the
other to be opened in a few days, and
that no member of the board was seen
oftener while the work was going on
and that no one showed greater interest
in the quality and expedition of the
work. He was present nearly, if not
quite, every day and saw to it that
the city got what it was paying for and
what the board desired done.
L may point with some pride to the
buildings themselves as an evidence of
what each member of the school board
has desired to be done for the better
housing and education of our children.
Very truly yours,
c. J. DREW.

CONSERVATION.
Official Railroad Circles Are
Greatly Disturbed
By Recent Communication
From President Roosevelt.
MUST ENFORCE LAW.
Much Hurrying to and Fro to
Clean House,
MUST ENFORCE LAW.
Dissolution of Pools and Agree
ments Looked For.

Chicago, March 4-President Roose-
velt has been given the railroad man
agement of the entire country to un-
derstand that the interstate commerce
and the Sherman laws will be enforced
to the letter, says the Record-Herald.
The information has been conveyed
through the medium of the interstate
commerce commission and it is under
stood that the administration will not
favor any amendment to the law until
the present laws have been enforced
and the result noted.
The Record-Herald asserts that the
new order of things has caused conSter-
nation among the executive officials of
roads entering in Chicago, and all are
engaged in the work of cleaning
house, Hurried consultations have re-
suited in the decision that all aSSocia-
violation of laws involved must be done
away with and every effort made to
show the commission that the roads
purpose handling traffic free of all
pools, agreements or cut rates.
The first move in this direction is the
dissolution of the Council Bluffs, Omaha
& Sioux City committee. of which Geo.
W. Ristine is in charge. 1t is under
stood that the Kansas City committee
will soon be dissolved. Unless the COM
mission insists upon it nothing will he
done with the western trunk line COM
nittee at present, nor with the various
passenger associations which are in vi
olation of the Sherman law.
Similar action will be taken by the
lines east of Chicago, and bureaus in
the charge of Chairman Tucker will
probably be abolished. Railroad officials
are not a unit regarding the character
of action necessary, but a large num-
ber of them believe that all organiza-
tions should be done away with. At
tention is called to the fact that if ev-
erything is to be handled on tariff sche-
dulles there will be little use for asso-
Citations or statistical bureaus, as
some of them are called.

PRESENT FOR LELAND.
Pension Office Employees Show Theil
Esteem.

The employees of the pension Office
gave their late chief, Cyrus Leland, {;
pleasant surprise last night. They called
at his home and Col. Fl. L. Millard on
behalf of the employees presented a
handsome alligator dress suit case. He
said that the employees wished to show
their appreciation of Mr.. Leland'S kind
ness and consideration while in office.
Mr.. Leland responded in a brief
speech. He said that his only regret at
leaving the office was because of break
ing off the associa tions which had been
most pleasant. He thanked the en-
ployes for their cooperation and deyo-
tion to duty and said the fact that the
Topeka pension office now has rank one
tells its own story.
