KANSAS EDITORS PRESENT.

From the Concordia Kansan.
 The boys in this office clipped in and bought us an elegant bath robe for a Christmas present. It was the finest to be had in the town. We are proud of 1t. We want to show off in it. We are going to rig up in it; one of these fine days we'll telephone down to the city marshal to warn the people to look out for their horses, then come tripping gayly down the street, in woolen creation colored in all the hues of the rainbow. If you hear a loud. rumbling roar one of these days don't get scared. Look out for an ap- partition. coming down Sixth street, re- sembling the Sultan of Johore going to war Don't shoot Before we take our an- nual bath in the Republican river, next July, we may learn what a bath robe is good for. If we do, we'll put the robe in action then.

pany, and that their thoughts were nearly altogether upon the management of the company, and they gave little time and attention to Robinson's demand, or for the purposes for which it was made, their whole time being absorbed with compli- cated questions coming before them in respect to the management of the affairs of the company. He showed that the Schulers not only directed the manage ment of the company, but that they also devoted large part of their time to the details of the management. and that through their industry and enterprise, and against obstacles that would have dis couraged most men. they have built up a prosperous plant in our community.
 Discusses False Entries.
 In respect to the charges of false en- tries on the books and the disposition of securities owned by the company, MT. Tillman took the position in his argument as he had done when he commenced ex- amining the witnesses. that this was not the proper proceedings in which to ex- plain at detail the reasons for the manner in which the books had been kept and the  securities obtained or disposed of.
 That in this proceeding the court had no jurisdiction to grant any relief to Robin son in respect to these matters, and that an explanation thereof would consume days of the courts time and answer no good purpose. He stated that as he under stood the ruling of the court when he first spoke of this matter. that it was necessary to go into these matters in de- tail as the court in this proceeding had nothing to do with the financial manage ment of the company. He stated that if any proper proceeding is brought by Rob- inson his clients would be ready and will ing to explain each and every transaction of the company, and show that there was nothing whatever wrong in their manage ment of the affairs of the company.

TUSCALOOSA

Tuscaloosa. February 2.-GSpeciaD-Mr. Robert Holeman of Birmingham has pur- chased ten acres of land from MT. J. M
 Ward in West End. The amount paid for same was $500. He has also rented the VanHoose place which embraces about twenty acres and adjoins the prop erty which he purchased from MT. Ward The entire area will be devoted to truck farming Ten acres will be used for raising strawberries Mir. Holeman says that he expects to supply the local mar ket and that he will also ship to Cincin- natl. Work is under headway and in very short while Tuscaloosa will have first class truck farm.
 Mir and Mrs. William Faulcon Fitts entertained at a dinner Friday evening at
 their home in East End, in honor of Mrs. Robert l.. Taylor of Knoxville Covers were laid for fourteen. The guests | were Mrs. Robert l.. Taylor, MT Peter Shiras. Of Ottowa, Kan, Mir J. H.

 A meeting was held yesterday by the land com mittee of the Tuscaloosa Coal. Iron and Land Company. They decided to donate five acres of land to the pro posed rolling mill. in case the citizens would donate $500 to purchase the re- msining five acres needed for the rolling mill site. The mill, if secured, will be lo- cated on the Warrior river, just north of
 the city and will furnish employment for fifty skilled laborers. The citizens are very enthusiastic over this new pro- ject and are manifesting much interest the city last evening from Sault Ste Ma rie. Mich where they went on their

Bitter War Between Parties.

He explained that bitter war was or between Robinson and the Schulers and had been for months, and that this war was to the knife and the knife to the hilt, that the red flag had been thrown to the breezes by both parties and that on it was inscribed, mo quarter"
 MT. Tilman also called the attention of the court to the fact that litigation was pending in the courts of Illinois brought by Robinson. which was inmical to the Schulers and to the Alabama Steel and Wire Company and that Rob insons purpose in Investigating the books of the company was to get the evidence to prosecute his suit against the com pany in Illinois, and not for the purpose of becoming informed of the financial condition of the company, or of ascer- taining whether it had been properly con ducted under the Schuers. He contend ed that the demand for an inspection of the books and papers grew out of the examination of the Schulers as witnesses before Rudulph in this Illinois litigation and after Robinson had attempted to in vestigate them for the purpose of aiding  him in his litigation in Illinois, and after the refusal of the Schulers to then give him possession of the books and papers for that purpose.
 Robinson's Claim a Fake,
 He contended earnestly that the claim of Robinson to have the books examined for the purpose of acquaintng himself with the financial condition of the conn pany was a mere subterfuge and after thought. He criticized Robinson's testi- mony severely, and showed that he had taken advantage of the order of the court to inquire into the personal cor respondence of the Schulers.
 MT. Tillman asserted that the testimony showed that the Schulers had devoted all of their time and attention to the build- ing up of the business of this large com

Personal Letters Copied Wrong.


 Mir. Tillman further contended on this point that any other impression copies of letters that might have been taken from the books pertained to the personal correspondence of the Schulers which had gotten mixed up with the official corre- spondence of the company by mistake of the stenographer, whose duty it was to make copies thereof in the letter books. He discussed the testimony on this sub- iect with a view of showing that the Schulers were in the habit of dictating letters for the company and personal let ters at the same time, or about the same time giving them to the stenogra pher to be transcribed on the typewriter, and in the latter part of the evening to be put on the desk to be signed by them, when they delivered them back to the stenographer to be copied and mailed, and that in do- ing this they frequently got the letters confused in respect to the letter books in which they were copied
 He further contended in this connection that the evidence conclusively showed that this was substantially the only muti- lation of the letter books. and that it was not done for the purpose of defeating

Wants Defendants in Jail.

MT Weakley in conclusion spoke of the rights of his client which had been dis ! regarded after he had spent time and money. and if it be true that the books are in reality destroyed no restitution can be made him. He submitted that fine would be totally inadequate as the de- fendants were men of large means and would not mind paying a fine which un- der the statute could not exceed $50 and that the only proper punishment which would have a proper moral effect would be imprisonment in jail for the time al lowed by the statute

 In support of this contention. Mir weakley showed to the court that the record on the appeal bond was never filed in the Supreme Court and when the call of cases for the sixth division came on to be heard the appellants dismissed the ap- peal. which was in the latter part of No vember. 1901. which left the judgment of the lower court in a condition to be en- forced

Destroyed by Directors Orders.

All of these books were destroyed by reason of determination made by the directors of the company in the latter part of 1900 or in January or February 1901 and this without reference to inves- tigate the books. records and papers of the company. It was thus early determ- ined by the directors to destroy these books for purposes then deemed sufficient shown to the court by the evidence These purposes as shown by the evidence had not in view any inspection or exami- nation by Robinson. and the directors had no intention whatever to defeat any right that he then had or would thereaf- ter claim in other words, at the time the destruction of the books was determined upon, they didn't know that Robinson then had, or would ever have in vfc- a purpose of examining the books.
 Mr. Tillman further contended in this direction that under. the system of book keeping then pursued by the company, the destruction of these books did not
