Remarkable Fall of Tempera-
ture Saturday Night.

This was the coolest morning of the

between IL O'Clock Saturday evening

A registered government thermometer
at the home of Observer Jennings, in
Potwin, registered II degrees below zero
early this morning. Mr.. Jennings ex-
plains that the difference in the temper
ature recorded between the thermom-
eter at the weather bureau on the top
of the Columbian building and the one
at his home is caused by the difference
in elevation of 100 feet or more. To the
people walking on the ground at and

was II degrees below zero.
Observer Jennings said this morning:
I'VE are right in the middle of a high
barometer and that means that the tenn
perature will moderate. do not think
that tonight will be as cold as last night
and tomorrow night will not be as cold
as tonight
The forecast sent out this morning
from Chicago for Kansas was as fol-
lows: Fair tonight, probably followed
Tuesday by snow and warmer Late
Saturday afternoon the weather bureau
sent a warning to the Kansas stations

MRS. WARREN'S APPEAL.
Asks Supreme Court to Help Rescue
Her Daughter.

A peculiar habeas corpus action has
been filed in the supreme court from
Kansas City, Kas. The petition is filed
in the name of Ida Warren, a girl of II
years. but her mother, Mrs. Dicie War
ren is the real complainant
Mrs. Warren claims that Ida is ille-
gally restrained of her liberty in the
second story of building over saloon
in Kansas City, Kas. The girls older
sisters, Maude and Rose Warren, and
Charles Mackey are named as defend
ants in the suit.
According to the petition, Maud War
ren had herself appointed guardian OF
Ida several months ago, although she
herself was only 18 at the time. The
other sister is older and lives with
Mackey, and it is alleged that the two
older women are keeping the girl for
immoral purposes and will not let her
go home to her mother.
In addition to the saloon beneath the
rooms where the girl is imprisoned it
is claimed that there are two
other saloons on opposite corners and
that 1T is a tough neighborhood gener-
ally The mother wants to get pos
session of the girl
The probate court of Wyandotte coun-
ty refused to take jurisdiction of the
case. 1t was brought in the district
court, but when Mrs. Warren refused
to answer some of the questions put
to her it was thrown out of court. Now
it is brought in the supreme court
that is, if the supreme court will take
jurisdiction of it.

in the ice. He broke the ice and with
poles managed to get the bodies out.

ADVANCE GUARD HERE.
Kansas Day Republicans AL
ready Fill Hotel Lobby.

Already the advance guard of the
army which is coming to Topeka to
celebrate Kansas Day is here.
The candidates and politicians have
begun to register at the Copeland and
little groups gather here and there i'll
the lobby and talk in whispers. To-
morrow a large number of others will
be in, and by Wednesday morning
there will be a big crowd. The grand
rush will be Wednesday afternoon,
when the trains will bring in the rank
and file from all over the state to at
tend the banquet
Three candidates for governor were
at the Copeland at noon today. They
were E. a. Enright, of Kansas City,
Harry Richter and George E. Cole.
Senator ]. A. Kennedy, of Burlington,
who is making a hot trail in the con-
gressional race in the Fourth district,
in spite of the cold weather, is also here
early.
Richter and Cole were talking in the
Copeland lobby when Charles E. Lob
dell and James Lawrence, who are here
attending the hearing in the judgeshiP
case in the supreme court, rushed up
and shook hands with them. Each
called Auditor Cole Governor" with
considerable emphasis.
Say, what do you fellows m ean?"
said Richter.
Don't feel bad about it, Harry" said
Cole in a sympathetic tone.
We're looking out for our salaries as
district judges said Lawrence
"A-hai I see through it, said Rich
ter. You are calling Cole governor so
that he won't refuse to recognize you
as judges. 1 guess 1 can stand that"
E a. Enright, the Kansas City, Kas.,
candidate for governor, believes that
recent developments in the guberna-
toriaI situation make it still more GER
tain that neither the extreme Burton
or Leland wings will name the candi-
date for governor.
II do not think that either faction will
have enough strength to control the
situation. With Cole, Troutman and
myself in the race it looks as though
there is a good chance for one of US
finally to win. Cole and Troutman are
both strong men. 1t will be q conven-
ton fight, though. Nobody will have a
walk-away.'
In making the final arrangements for
the banquet Wednesday evening, Sec
retary Valentine has decided to set
apart the west, or smaller, gallery over
looking Representative hall for the
ladies of the speakers at the banquet
and those of the state officials. Admis-
sion to that gallery will be by card.
The east or large gallery will be thrown
open to all ladies who wish to see the
banquet and hear the speeches, and no
tickets will be necessary for that

Mr.. HILL REPLIES
Through His Attorney In the
No. Pac. Merger Case.

Washington, Jan. 27.-In the United
States supreme court today Attorney
Douglass of Minnesota renewed his mo-
tiOn for leave to file a bill of complaint
on behalf of the state against the
Northern Securities company in the
matter of the merger of the Northern
Pacific railroad with other railroads,
saying that he had given notice to the
defendants as required by the court
Chief Justice Fuller announced that
the argument upon this motion would
be heard later in the day, as soon as
the hearing in the case under considera-
ton could be completed.
Mr.. w. d. Guthrie, for the Northern
Securities company, filed a brief with
the court outlining that company's posi-
tion. He contended that the bill of
complaint proposed to be filed on be-
half of the state of Minnesota does not
present a controversy of a civil and
judicial nature between state and a
citizen of another state justifable in
this court, and that no state can call
upon this court to enforce its penal or
police laws in other states; hence this
court is without jurisdiction.
The bill asks the court. he said, to
restrain by injunction a citizen of New
Jersey from doing there acts which are
entirely lawful according to her laws
and which are sanctioned by her sta
tutory policy simply because those acts
violate or evade or tend to circumvent
the pubic or penal or police laws of
Minnesota, the complainant state. There
is, he continued, no suggestion that the
acts complained of are not entirely law
full in the state of New Jersey or that
is not within the corporate powers of
the defendant company as an invest
ment company to acquire and hold the
stocks of railway companies. The sole
ground of complaint is the alleged vio-
lation in New Jersey of certain enact
ments contained in the statutes of Min
neSota- Hence, he contended that the
injunction prayed for would be moth
ing more or less than an order COM
pelling the securities company to obey
in New Jersey the laws of Minnesota.
relief is sought against the Great North
ern Railway company or the Northern
Pacific although both are corporations
of the state of Minnesota and both
therefore within the Jurisdiction of the
courts of that state.
This was taken he said. as a confess
sion that neither of these corporations
had sinned against the laws or the con-
stitution of Minnesota. He pointed out
that neither Of these companies is a
party to the suit relief could be
granted against them.
In conclusion Mr.. Guthrie contended
had prevailed, he said during the his
tory of the government of allowing each
state to control its own affairs without
interference on the part of the federal
judiciary.
When the preceding case had been
completed Attorney General Douglass
was recognized to make his argument
in support of the motion for leave to
file his bill of complaint

RIPLEY OPPOSES CANAL.
Says the Panama Project Will Be q
Financial Failure.

At the annual meeting of the Chicago
Commercial club Saturday night the
subject of the isthmian canal was up
dent E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe on
the subject were of especial interest.
Mr.. Ripley said in part:
Il do not oppose the CANAL he said,
because 1 am the representative of a
transcontinental railroad. 1t is as d
citizen and not as a railroad man that
/ intend to discuss the question. You
doubtless have read of the lobby of the
trancontinenta1 railroads which is said
bill in Washington. 1 do not believe
that there has ever been such lobby.
1 can say for one road that it has not
raised a finger or spent dollar to de-
feat that bill. If there had been a
lobby maintained in Washington for
that purpose the road of which speak
would have been called upon to pay Its
no demand for contribution to a lobby
fund.
1.-The question is to be looked at from
a commercial and a military point OF
view. 1t can never be profitable If its
construction costs $500, ,000,0 600 the inter
est that sum at per cent. Will
amount to $6,000,000 annually and the
cost of maintenance will be not less
than $4,000 600. The total estimated re-
ceipts will not exceed $6,400,0O0, so
there will be yearly deficit of $780,
0O0
"I do not believe that the canal will
come into competition with the rail
roads. All over the country the canals
have failed in competition with the
toll and they are supported by taxa
ton"
