JUDGE DALE REFUSES
TO ENJOIh CITY
Wichita May Extend Juris-
diction Over Island.
REAL POINT AT ISSUE
City Wants Police Control of
ACkermanS Empire.

After hearing the arguments and the
evidence in the case. Judge Dale has de-
cided that the city of Wichita has a
right to annex or take Ackermans island
into the city.
Some time ago, when the city council
passed a resolution declaring it neces-
sary to take the Alderman island into
the city, Mr. Alderman by his attorney,
5. B. Amidon, applied in Judge Dale's
court for an injunction restraining the
city from taking the island into the city.
a temporary injunction was granted I'M
Ill the case could be heard, and yester-
day, when the evidence was heard, Judge
Dale denied the permanent injunction.
OF course, the defeated party on law
point always threatens to appeal to the
supreme court, and Mr.. Amidon reckons
that is what will be done in this case.
When the asphalt company had its
works on the island the Second street
bridge was kept in repair and this gave
access to the Alderman island, but when
the West Side wanted a new bridge on
Seneca street, so as to make the fine
Riverside park more convenient to them,
the city refused TO keep the Second street
bridge in repair and finally condemned it.
Mr. Alderman is making his fight on
the ground that if he is tarken into the
city he will have to pay city taxes and
will not have any of the advantages of
the city He says he would have to pay
school take and could not get to the
school houses
The real object of the city government
in wanting to take the island into the
city is to get police control of it. There
have been times in the past when a sa-
loon was run on the island and some
high old concerts were given on Sundays.
Some of the people along the Big river
made complaint and asked protection, but
the police department had no jurisdiction
on the island. There are few things that
the average policeman cannot do. but one
Of the things that he falls down on is
extending his jurisdiction beyond the city
limits
Ackermans island is within four blocks
of the business center of this city, and,
whatever may be the law on the matter
OF taking territory into the city limits.
the average Wichita man thinks Acker-
mans island ought to belong to the city.
The people living along the Big river
in the Second ward consider it an abso-
lutte necessity.
The people of the Second ward say
when they have appealed TO the chief of
police for n little better regulation in
that quarter they have been told that
Ackermans island is an independent
Kingdom and the Wichita police have no
more authority over there than In the
Dominion of Canada. When that sort
OF argument is used the people up there
IN the Second ward say: IF Wichita
cannot go to Ackerman's island, then
bring the island to the city,"

TO SEE ORIENT PRESIDENT

W. c. Edwards of the Orient. left yes
terday morning for Kansas City, where
he will confer with A. e. StiIwell. presi-
dent OF the railroad. in connection with
the work Of completing the line into this
city
1T is not probable" said w. c. Ed
wards, Jr., who Is his fathers private
secretary, that much more work will be
done on the line before the middle of
next month or the first of February. The
money in payment for large quantities of
stock sold recently will not begin to come
In until the first of the new year. other
emounts will Eot be paid until maybe The
hrst Of February. l don't mean by this
that the Orient is short Of money by any
means. but it appears that AIr. Stilwell is
DESTROYS Of allowing the work TO go slow
until some time after the opening of the
new year.
THE grading between Fairview and
Wichita. with the exception OF short
distance, is all finished. including the
stone cut, Of which you had an article in
most costly piece OF land OF any over
which to make a roadbed. While The
work may progress slowly until after the
new year" added Mr.. Edwards. when
it is again commenced the dirt will fly.
The work Of laying the steel into Wichita
will be finished in short time
In regard to the location Of the COM
pany's passenger station here Mr.. Ed
wards then gave the first news so far as
is known ever made pubic by any of the
Orient employees.
THE ground Immediately to the rear
of the Hotel Carey has always been look
ed upon as the most favorable for the
station" said Mr.. Edwards. and 1 don't
know but what il is yet. The officials con-
slider that that would be the easiest to
gain access TO and in the long run be
moro convenient to the business portion
Of the city than any other"

MAN is MISSING.
Telegraph Operator Leaves the City
Suddenly.

Suddenly.
1t wal reported at the western Union
offices yesterday that Charles E. Ferriter,
who has been day telegraph operator at
the Rock Island passenger station. had
absconded with money belonging to the
railroad and also some belonging to the
Western Union. Ferriter left Wichita
December "a and has not been seen since
When seen at the passenger station last
evening, c. Z. Bascom. ticket agent for
the company, said: Yes. it is true that
Ferriter left the city rather suddenly. but
he did not take anything belonging to
the Rock Island. He was merely a tel
egraph operator in this Office and had no
access to the money drawer or the ticket
cases. He did have keys to the office
however"
At the Western Union 1t was said that
the amount of money taken belonging to
that company could not be stated until
the railroad office is checked up. All the
way from S. to S. l.; taken in monthly
received from persons who send private
messages. As it was along towards the
last of the month that Ferriter left the
city it is supposed that he did not have
mere than either of the amounts named
belonging to the Western Union in his
possession al the time.
1t is not known where Ferriter came
here from, and he worked but little
over a month at the Rock Island. He is
a man probably 30 years of age, slim and
rather tall. He has dark hair and a short
brown mustache. The telegraph operator
who took Ferriter's place said last night
that he had heard from Ferriter and
that the latter was then in Heringt0n.
Ferriter Is said to have asked his sue
cossor what the exact amount Of money
is that he took with him. He told the
operator here that he intended to make
the amount good.
