Argument Will Be Heard in
Wabash injunction Case.

st. Louis, No, March 10-Judge Elmer
B. Adams, in the United States district
court, announced that he will on Tues
day, March II. hear arguments on the
motion to dissolve the temporary injunc-
ton granted one week ago. Restraining
officials Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-

Each side in the great legal contro-
versy was represented by a brilliant ar
ray of counsel. With Colonel Wells II.

gagged as associate counsel, INTRODUCED
Messrs Irwin, Pinney and Murphy to
the court before the proceedings opened.
Colonel Blodgett, on behalf of the Wa
bash, asked that the court set Tuesday,
March II, as the date on which to hear
arguments on the motion for the dissO-
luton of the injunction. This date hav-
ing been agreed to by the counsel <o4
both sides in the controversy. Judge
Adams announced his acuuiescence.
Judge Adams stated he wished to give
each side all the time necessary to thor
Oughly prepare for the hearing and

Wits filed as early as possible before that
date. Colonel Blodgett stated that coun-

be filed earlier in order to give the de-
Tense more time to consider and answer

would give the defense ample time fo1
their consideration.
In order to hasten the proceedings

PROHIBITION MAYOR.
What Hutchinson Has Done Under
Dry Administration.

F. I. Martin is the prohibition mayor
of Hutchinson, and in reply to letter
from Topeka man asking for fnforma-
ton concerning the success of his dry
two years says:
For the first time in the history of
the city of Hutchinson, the floating debt
of the town has been reduced during the
PAST two years. The street fund has
changed from a deficit of $4,000 to a
surplus of "a 900; the general fund from
S15 600 deficit to $1,000 deficit. Not one
dollar of joint money went into the
treasury in this time
In the eight years prior, when the
saloons were running, the floating debt
was increased by $4,000. OF this S55.OOO
was refunded and $4,000 was left over
for US to pay. During part of that time
as high as $1,000 was collected from the
joints.
For two years not a murder or as
sault with intent to kill has occurred in
Hutchinson. Not a saloon fight. Before
that murders and assaults were ire
quent the district court criminal docket
heavy and there were large bills for the
public to pay. In two years the crimi-
nal docket of the district court original
ing from Hutchinson has practically
disappeared. The total costs to county
and city of criminal cases originating
in Hutchinson for two years will be less
than $500, against probably $4,000 to
$4,000 for each two years prior, under
tIt OlnGI SYSTEM.
Tax levies have been reduced and yet
