ITS LADORS ENDED.
Kansas Legislature Gets Through
with Its Work.
no STATE AID FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS
OF tho fifty Bills Enacted Into Law ONLY
Two Are General Bills, the Other
Bills Being All Local.
State Warrnnta.


i Topeka, Kan, June 26.-The spe
cial session of the legislature woun,
up its labors last night without yot
ing any state aid to food sufferers
1t squelched resolutions extending
sympathy to the food sufferers ant
thanks to the people Of other statei
who had contributed to the food re
lief fund. It did not forget, how
ever. to appropriate $4,000 to pay
its own members for attending the
special session. OF the so bills enact.
ed into law by the special session
of the Legislature only two are gen
eral bills. One IL to remit taxes on
property destroyed by the food, the
other is to extend the authority of
county commissioners in cases OF dire
calamity, The other bills are local,
TO enable counties and cities to take
care Of the trouble growing out Of
the food, prominent among which is
the rebuilding Of bridges washed out
by the food.
Among the bills passed was one APP
propriating $4,000 to straighten tho
Neosho river. The state will employ
an engineer to survey the river.
The special session will adjourn
this afternoon at two o'clock.
The house killed all bills providing
for state aid.
The only bill which will enable the
food sufferers to secure any relief
is one introduced by Leland, of Doni-
phan. Only 16 senators were in the
chamber when it was passed, but the
records were made to read that it
received 26 votes. Several absentees
were voted. 1t is entitled IAN act
extending the powers of the boards |
of county commissioners Of the sew
eral counties in the state Of Kansas"
1t reads:
"That in addition to the powers al
ready given by law, the board OF
county commissioners of each county
shall have power at any meeting, in
case of great loss or damage to life
or property, to assist in burying the
dead, caring for the wounded, rem
dering temporary aid to the dis
tressed, preventing disease and pesti-
lence and cleaning up debris, and to
issue warrants of the county thereof,
not exceeding one per cent. Of the
taxable property Of the county and
to levy tax to pay such warrants"
Francis introduced joint resolu-
ton providing that when state war
rants are stamped mot paid for want
Of funds" they shall be taken and
carried by the school fund. 1t passed
both branches and will become law.
These warrants have been carried by |
The banks in the past. They draw
six per cent. interest. In the future
hey will only draw four per cent.

A Motion Filed for Rehearing Of the
Custer Suit Against Certain
Railroads.

jefferson City, Mo-, June 26.-As-
sistant Attorney General Jetfries yes
terday filed motion in the supreme
court for a rehearing of the custer
suit filed by the attorney general
against the Santa Fe and other rail-
roads in Missouri on account of the

pie are affected; that the cases cited

overlooked the fact that reconsign-
ment charges apply only to roads
