ROASTS A KANSAS PROFESSOR
The paper which was read to the assC-
citation by l. H Kerricl1. Of Blooming
ton ILL., was one of the most importapr
of the session. Mr.. Herrick stands at
the front of the cattle raisers of the
United States. He raises cattle which
have the market topping habit. When
common cattle are selling for $3.50 Mr.
Kerrick gets $3.50 for his. Mr.. Kerrick
looks and acts like ex-County Superin-
tendent J. W. Stout, of this city, but nc
knows all about cattle instead of coun-
try schools.
Mr.. Kerrick advocated the revision OF
the tariff to protect American farm
products. He asserted that it is unfair
to protect manufactured goods which
farmers use and not protect the agIi-
cultural products which farmers have to
sell
But the most interesting portion of
Mr. Kerrick's address to Kansas peO-
pie was possibly the artistic roast which
he administered to a professor named
Gosling. of the Kansas State Agricul-

Hence the conference
Mr.. pendergast received the endorse
ment Of the conference, and a commit
tee composed of Harris, Dolan and Pep
peren was appointed TO present his
name 10 Governor BAILEY. Pendergast
is an implement dealer in Abilene. His
friends say he is a broadminded man of
considerable executive ability and with
the experience necessary to make a good
man for the place.
However, there js big scramble for
the job and as a Republican executive
council selects the man a Democratic
endorsement may not count for as much
as some other things. J. n Fike, the
present commissioner would like to be
reelected, f. C. WeiIep of GaIena is put

Long or Stanley. and this move on the
part of the Curtis people shows the dis

TERRILL CASE ARGUED.
Legality of Holding Oklahoma Con-
victs in Question

Ira n. Terrill, the Oklahoma convict
who is making a fight for liberty in the
supreme court, was brought over from
the penitentiary at Lansing last night
and this morning he argued his case be-
number of errors on the part of the
trial court, but his principal contention
is that there is no authority for his inn
pris0nment in Kansas when he was
convicted n Oklahoma.
On the same side of the case, but not
as an attorney for Terrill, is w H.
Ashby of Beatrice, Neb. Ashby gets
into the case as "a friend of the court -
He was originally the attorney for r
W McCIOsky, J. T. New, Amos Pierce,
John CofIleld and Ed Harry. all of
whom are in the penitentiary for muir
ders committed in Oklahoma, but so
many of the other Oklahoma prisoners
have joined in the case that Ashby has
undertaken to get them all out on the
ground that they are illegally restrained
of their liberty.
The case is resisted by Attorney Gen
eraI Roberts of Oklahoma, who has en-
ployed Judge J. S. West to assist him.
Ashby has a theory that the Okla
homa authorities are planning, if the
case goes against them, to 90 to Lam
sing in a special train and take all OF
the 2S5 Oklahoma prisoners there home
in a body before habeas corpus pro-
ceedings can be brought to get them
free. IF the Terrin case is won he will
file habeas corpus suits for each of the
other prisoners.

Charles B. Miller, Chicago, leg in
jured.
F. G. Lohr, Kansas City, arm
wrenched
Assistant superintendent Griffin of the
Denver & Rio Grande road, face cut.

a little earlier. The section crew had
been notified and was on the way to re-
pair the track when the wreck occurred.
The deep snow prevented the accident
being more serious.
