RIGHT TO ARREST.
Validity of Raids on Disorderly
Houses Is Being Tested.

City Attorney Spencer and Charles
Magaw had a preliminary round in the
Vera Harrison habeas corpus case in
the supreme court today. This is the
case which has been brought by Ma
gaw to put stop to the present meth
DDS used by the police in raiding Joints
and disorderly houses. Magaw claims
that raiding them and arresting those
in charge or found in them without a
warrant is contrary to the law, and
does not come within the statute
allowing officers to make arrests ION
sight when they see an offense COM
mitted.
The Harrison woman was arrested
during a raid on a disorderly house,
and nabeas corpus proceedings were
instituted in the supreme court to test
the validity of the arrest. Today Mr..
Magaw moved that the court allow tes-
timony to be taken in court or appoint
a commissioner to take it. City Attor-
ney Spencer argued that no testimony
is necessary. as the case hinges solely
on the validity of the ordinance under
which the raid and arrest were made.
He filed motion to dismiss the suit.
The court has the two motions under

COAL CASES GO OVER.
Supreme Court Will Not Hear
Them This Month.

The coal trust cases in the supreme
court have gone over to the January
term. They were continued this morn
ing when the supreme court opened its
December session. County Attorney
Hungate is busy with some important
cases in the Shawnee county district
court this week. and Attorney General
Coleman has the Doodle Investigations
before the Wyandotte county grand
jury to look after, and for these reasons
the case in the supreme court was con-
tinued.
There is probably no hurry about the
coal trust cases anyway. 1t is very
doubtful if the Kansas supreme court
will render a decision in them until the
United States supreme court passes on
the Kansas antitrust law in the Smiley
grain trust case. which is now pending
in Washington. The Kansas supreme
court has already upheld the antitrust
law, and it can do no more until the
United States supreme court takes its
guess on the law.
The coal trust cases are the ones
against John Jack and John Bell, both
Usage county coal operators, who re-
fused to testify before County Attorney
Hungate regarding the coal combine in
the inquisition which he instituted in
the Shawnee county district court under
the provisions Of the antitrust law.

Mr.. HOWE is HERE.
Says He Is Running Well for
Congress, in Missouri.

E. w. Howe, editor of the Atchison
Globe, is over from Atchison today to
hear James Whitcomb Riley. Incident
ally Mr.. Howe has a congressional
boom following him around. 1t was
turned loose at Kansas City by his fel-
low townsman, Bale Waggener, and
has been steadily gaining in momentum
ever since.
Mr.. Howe only jokes when the sub
jeet is mentioned to him He does not
seem to regard his boom as serious at
present.
Il seem to be running best over in
Missouri, outside the First district, and
among the Democrats" said Mr.. Howe
today. You know it is customary for
a defeated candidate to explain why he
was defeated When 1 am beaten 1 am
going to say that it was Bale Wag-
gener's fault
The allusion to the fact that he is run
ming principally Outside the First dis
trict'' has reference to the things the
newspapers over the state are printing
about Mr.. Howe's congressional boom.
The Kansas City and st. Jospeh papers
are saying nice things about Mr.. Howe,
and a good many newspapers in Kan
sas are doing the same.

GAVE MONEY TO DOWIE.
PIainville Woman Contributes
81, 400 to Zion City Bank.

Plainville. Dec. 7.-Since Dowie and
his Zion City schemes have been the
theme of conversation in the daily
newspapers the last few days, the peo-
pie of Piainville are anxious to learn
about the fate of one who left here to
join the cause. Mrs. Hattie McClay
and her two children, boy and girl,
ages about and Il years, have gone
to join their fortunes with Dowie. Mrs.
McClay is a widow, and for a long time
has been distributing Dowie literature
among her friends in Plainville. Some
time ago she sold a quarter section
farm in Rocks county for $500. Recent
ly she sold her residence in Plainville
for $500. A few days before her depart
ure for Zion City she bought a draft
for $3.50, made payable to the Zion City
bank. 1t is said there are few others
in this vicinity who are tinctured with
Dowieism. On account of Mrs. Nc
Clay's many friends in Plainville, all
will regret if she lost her hard earned
money in the reported failures reported
from DOwieiSrn and Zion City.

GOVERNMENT REVENUES.
Surplus for Present Year Will Be
Small If Anv

From all sources, exclusive of the
postal service, the receipts of the gov
ernment for the last fiscal year aggre-
gated $3.50, ,396, ,674. The expenditures for
the same period were $506, ,099, ,007, the
surplus for the fiscal year being $54,-
297 ,667 The indications are that the
surplus for the present fiscal year will
be very small, if indeed there be any
surplus. From July to November the
receipts from customs were, approx
mately, nine million dollars less than
the receipts from the same source for
corresponding portion of last year.
Should this decrease continue at the
same ratio throughout the fiscal year.
the surplus would be reduced by, ap-
proximately, 80 million dollars. Should
the revenue from customs suffer much
further decrease during the fiscal year.
the surplus would vanish. A large sur
plus is certainly undesirable. Two
years ago the war taxes were taken off
with the express intention of equalizing
the governmental receipts and expendi-
lures, and though the first year there
after still showed a surplus. it now
seems likely that a substantial equality
OF revenue and expenditure will be at
tained- Such being the case it is of
great moment both to exercise care and
economy in appropriations, and to sean
sharply any change in our fiscal reve-
nue. system which may reduce our in

our expenditures is emphasized by the
fact that we can not afford to be par
siTnonious in providing for what is es-

Elizabeth Marie, of Austria,
Wounds an Actress
Who Was a Rival for Affections
Of Her Husband.
FIRED AT THE VALET.
Who Tried to Prevent Her En-
trance to Princes Room.
Fell in SwOOn When Her Work
Was Accomplished.

Vienna, Dec. Prince Otto Of VIM
disch-Graetz, his youthful and im-
mensely wealthy wife, the Princess
Elizabeth Marie, whom he married a
year ago, and a pretty actress of the
opera at Prague, are the central figures
in an extraordinary story.
The princess, who is the granddaugh-
ter on her fathers side OF the emperor
of Austria and on her mothers side OF
the king of the Belgians, who renounced
her rights to the throne Of Austria in
order to marry as her heart dictated
is asserted to have shot and seriously
wounded handsome young actress
with whom the prince is alleged to have
had rendezvous.
The affair is said to have taken place
in the palace of the estate of the
princes family at Prague.
1t appears that Prince Otto had been
secretly paying attention to the actress
whose beauty had been causing a sensa-
tfon in Prague. The princess, presum-
ably informed by a disappointed suitor,
hurried to the princes apartments with
a revolver. She fired at a valet who
stood at the door and refused her adj
mittance and then entering the room
confronted her husband. He attempt
ed to hold her arm, but she fired point
blank at the actress, who covered in a
corner. The woman fell, severely but
not fatally wounded over the breast,
and the princess fell in a swoon. The
victim was hurriedly carried to hen
home and her servants spread the story,
despite strenuous efforts to hush it up.
Prince Otto is 80 years old and was a
lieutenant in the first regiment of Uh-
lans. The Austrian emperor opposed
the match. The princess is the daugh-
ter of the unfortunate crown prince
Rudolph, whose tragic death at his
hunting lodge several years ago was
the sensation of the daY
