Book Company Restrained.


Proceedings were instituted in the
supreme court to enjoin the Ameri-
can Book company from transacting
any business in Kansas. The grounds
are that the company has not COM
piled with the foreign corporation
law of Kansas by making annual re-
ports. A temporary restraining or
der was issued, but no date was fixed
for a hearing. The American Book
company recently received contracts
to supply about 60 per cent. of the
textbooks to the schools of Kansas
for the next five years. The books
must be ready for delivery at the
beginning of the schools in Septem-
Der. The supreme court does not
hold another session until October.
Unless some provision is made to
hear the case in vacation the com
pany will be placed in an embarrass-
ing position, as it cannot supply the
books on or before September with
out violating the supreme courts in
junction.

That McPher.on Case.

One of the most mysterious trag-
edies ever known in Kansas was the
shooting of Miss Maude Holmes at
the home of her father, near Galva,
in Mcpherson county, the other
night. Miss Maude is modest and
popular, and her parents are among
the best respected of the county's
population. She went to her room
for the purpose of retiring. She was
standing at mirror arranging her
hair, when some one fired charge
of shot through the window, wound
ing her dangerously about the head,
face and shoulders. For several
months she has been receiving let
tiers, all written in the same hand,
but signed by different names, from
a dozen different post offices. The
letters were ardent in expressing love
for the young lady, but there was
nothing about them which would
make the sender liable for misuse
of the mails or which was threaten
ing in its character. A sensation
was created in the neighborhood
when DR.. Ryno, a wealthy neighbor
of the Holmes, was arrested for the
crime. DR.. Ryno is married and has
lived near Galva for 25 years. 1t is
claimed that the handwriting OF the
strange letters sent to Miss Holmes
Is like DIR. Ryno's.

GoMPzRs TAKES TIE STAND.
He Claims That the Coal Barons Bring Immi.
grants to the Fields.
(Bv nc Associated Press. J

Scranton. Pa. Dec. observation-disclosures
ing the fact that the mine workers an
nounced yesterday that they had closed
their case with the exception of calling
one more witness, the entire two ses-
sions of the Strike Commission today
were consumed in hearing three wit
resses for the men. They were John c.
Haddock, an individual operator; Rev.
Dr. Peter Roberts, who is assisting the
miners, and President Samuel Gompers,
of the American Federation of Labor.
The principal point of Mr., Haddock' S
testimony was that he favored giving
the mine workers concessions under GER
tain conditions President Gompers tes-
titled as an expert on the trade union
movement He created a stir when he
strongly implied during his examina-
ton that the coal companies are respon-
sible for bringing immigrants to the coal
regions. When one of the lawyers for
the coal companies asked him If he knew
it from personal knowledge, he said he
could prove it if necessary.
The miners made another attempt to-
evidence a large mass of testimony tend
ing to show that the anthracite coal car
rying roads charge extortionate and dis
eliminating freight rates and that mon
opoly exists in the anthracite mining
industry, which keeps the wages of men
at an unnaturally low level. The COM
mission again decided that the evidence
must be limited to the scope of the COM
mission, and that if it did take up the
claims made in the evidence proposed
to be submitted, the justiflableness of
the mine workers demands still would
remain.
Chairman Gray. who is taking an es-
pecial interest in boycotts, asked Mr..
Gompers what he thought of such meth
DDS. The witness said he would boycott
any person that is unfair to his work
men, but would not boycott a man who
chose to do business with the person
that is boycotted.
Mr.. Gompers was then cross examined
by James Torrey, counsel of the Delaware
and Hudson Company. Mr.. Torrey asked
the witness if he did not believe that
members of the United Mine Workers of
America should be q years of age, and
able to read and write before they are
admitted to membership in the union
To this the witness replied: Eyes,
ten years from now and when the COM
panes stop bringing illiterate foreign
ers to this country. They are brought
here by the companies, and the labor
union must protect them and see that
they get their rights"
At the morning session, Chairman Gray
said the commissioners were impressed
at the spectacle of the little girls who
testified that they worked all night He
said the people of the community and
citizens of the commonwealth should not
let the incident pass without taking some
steps to have the Legislature of Penn
sylvania seriously consider the enact
mont of law that Will forbid the en-
ployment of children at night At the
suggestion of the commission the state
ments of the wages of the fathers of two
of the girls were presented. One earn
cd more than $1,000 last year, and the
other over 5000.

tine. The sufferers are the first ana
second cooks and the second steward of
the Prince Line steamer Saxon Prince,
which arrived from Durham, South
Africa, yesterday, when on inspection of
the crew three were found to be i'll. A
thorough examination of the patients
convinced Health Officer Doty that they
had all the symptoms Of the plague and
they were taken to SWinburne Island,
where cultures were made. The result
Of the examination there tonight con-
frmed the diagnosis made at the inspec-
ton. The history of the cases makes a
complete chain of infection from the
time CT the exposure of the first man at
Durham to the time of arrival. The crew
were ashore at Durham and, it is un-
doubtcdIy there that the disease was con-
tracted.
One patient is convalescent, but the
other two still are under treatment. All
three men slept together in small COM
partment. The total number Of the crew
is 81. There are five passengers on
board, a woman and four children.
The steamer will be sent to sea to dis
charge the water and sand ballast taken
on board at Durham. She will then re-
turn to Quarantine when the passengers
and crew will be transferred to Hoffman
