x. C. CLEANING Up
Work Of Repairing Damage is Progressing
Rapidly.

Kansas City, June 6.-Thousands of men
and women armed with shovels and
brooms are invading the west bottoms fol-
lowing closely the receding waters, and by
nightfall much will have been done toward
restoring the wholesale and stock yard
districts to their former condition of activ-
ity. The Missouri had fallen slightly over
two feet during the night at Z clock this
morning and a still greater district was
uncovered.
The Kaw also continues to recede at an
increased rate: To-day hundreds Of fat
cars loaded with sand and construction
material pushed several blocks further
west and the: work of demonstrating the
miles of washed out or damaged tracks in
the wards from here to Arnnourdale and
Argentine was begun. The railroads alone
will put several thousand men to work
Immediately and all lines are making pre-
parations to resume business. To-day it
was possible to reach and clean out to a
great degree the wreckage at the stock
yards and at the live stock exchange.
where the water at it's height stood fifteen
feet deep. Three shifts of men are work
ing night and day at the pumping station
to restore the water supply to its normal
condition and as this service improves
the likelihood of an epidemic of sickness
is disappearing. But few cases of sick
ness are reported.
Two bodies were found under a railroad
coach. in the West bottoms yesterday.
They were those of a Greek railroad labor
er and a negro cook. The verified list
now contains ten persons.
s A temporary bride is now building
across the Kansas river to carry the city
aaueduct; and pure water is hoped for
within tllreesdays.
George Gould sent $1,000 to the KAN
sas City, Kan, relief committee. and
President Burt Of the Union Pacific sent

buttons Of money, and supplies, and the
total cash received in both cities is about

spring up. again on the slightest provo
cation The cottage on Mt McGregor
which General U. S. Grant occupied for
many months and in which he died. has
been threatened with destruction for two
days, but is still unframed.
The fires began burning at the base Of
the mountain Wednesday night and
spread rapidly toward the top. No little
concern was felt for that historic cottage.
o. P. Clarke, the state custodian of the
cottage, was greatly alarmed for. the
safety of his charge. The cottage is di-
rectly in the path Of the fire, but the fact
Of its great height is looked upon as
its salvation. The fine forest which grew
around the Greenfield side of the Mt. Nc
Gregor has been destroyed.
According to reports received this morn.
ing, the Adirondacks fires are under con.
troll but should there be a hard wind the
fires would start UP again and be as de
structive as those Of Wednesday. The
forces fighting the flames are camping or
the edge Of the fires and are fighting al.
most constantly.

MACHEN EXPLAINS
Says He Received No Money What.
ever From the Croft Brothers
Company.
His Preliminary Hearing Is Dis
missed Owing to the Return
of an Indictment.

Washington, June 6.--United States
Commissioner Taylor to-day dismissed the
ease against "A. w. Machen, fermer SUI
psrintendent OF the free delivery service
OF the postoffice department, which was
pending before him The dismissed is due
to the fact that the grand Jury indicted
Machen yesterday, thus rendering further
action before the court unnecessary Mr.
Machen was present with an attorney.
BY 4 securing an indictment against
Machen before the time set for his pre-
,tminary hearing, the government scored
A victory In that it avoided the necessity
Of showing its hand at the preliminary
hearing.
In discussing the case with his friends
Machen says that certain checks which
it Is maintained were sent to him in pay
nent Of his profits in the Croft fastener
and which have been secured by the post
Office inspectors were sent him by his
former business partner, George E.. Lor-
enz Of Toledo, Ohio, and formerly post
master Of that city.
Machen says that his partnership with
Lorenz was a strictly legitimate one, and
that the checks transmitted to him by
Lorenz were in connection with mining
business which the firm conducted. AL
tho the amounts of these checks cannot be
ascertained, Machen says that the one
for the largest amount represents a per-
sonal loan to himself from Lorenz
Machen further states to his friends
that he was not a partner of the Croft
brothers concern and that he did not re-
ceive any Of the profits from the sale
of the letter box fastener to the govern
ment. He says that no wrongdoing will
be proved against him and that the only
possible cause there may be for critf-
cism of his administration SO far as the
Croft fasteners concerned is that the price
paid for the article may be considered ex-
cessive. This was necessary,he maintains,
because the article was a. patented affair
and the larger price paid for it was In
line with the universal practice In the
purchase Of articles which are patented
and where there Is no competition.

Corporations entering another state can
only do so by comfy, and are just as
much hound by the laws Of the state as
domestic companies. They are subject to
reasonable police regulation. On this all
authorities agree. Numerous cases were
cited showing the right Of the state to sue
In it's sovereign capacity, and the right
of the attorney general to act fer the
state. Several Minnesota cases were re-
ferred to, in which monopolies of traffic
were enjoined.
Decisions Cited.
Another series of decisions was cited,
In which courts construed laws according
to the evident intent of the legislature. SO
as to show that the courts will not sacri-
flee the substance Of a law for a defect In
its letter.
This concluded General Wilson's argu-
ment, and recess was. taken until 2
O clock, when Judge Young opened for the
defense. 1t Is thought that the hearing
will not be finished before Tuesday.
Yesterdays Argument.
Attorney General Douglas closed his
argument at o'clock yesterday after
noon, and was followed by General George
P. Wilson, who first followed UP the
point made by the attorney general that
the decision in the government case was
a precedent for the present one He then
reviewed the state law prohibiting the
consolidation of parallel and competing
lines, and showed that the two lines COM
pete at twenty-five points within the state.
These points are affected by the destruc-
ton OF competition. It was the same
condition presented as In the Pearsall
| case which for time foiled the attempt
Of Mr.. Hill to consolidate the two lines.
However, Mr.. Hill never gave up an UNI
dertaktng when he once set out, and the
present plan was just another effort along
the same line as prohibited by the Pear
sail decision. General Wilson said he
did not believe that Mr.. Hills counsel in
this case, Messrs. Grover, Bum and
Young, had ever advised him that the
Northern Securities plan was feasible.
He had undertaken it "on advice from,
Colonel Clough.
The methods used by the Securities
| company showed that twas fearful of
4 the law. It; had not changed it's stock
/ for the stock Of the railroad companies,
but had purchased the latter, paying fo1
it with stock Of the Northern Securities
company, a very fine distinction.
