BOND PURCHASES IN KANSAS.
The Attorney General Holds That Commits
sioners Must Not Pay More.
Than Par.

Sedan, Kan, Feb. IA point of in
terest to every Kansas county having
bonds is contained in a letter from
the attorney general to the county
attorney. In the letter the attorney
general holds that the Kansas law
which permits the commissioners to
purchase outstanding bonds at their
market or par value means that in
no case shall more than par be paid
and that the term market value
means lower than par value. The
attorney general holds that If COM
missioners are permitted to pay more
than par for the bonds there is NO
limit to the premium they could pay.
II they pay market value they are
bound to save their county money.
The case came up when some Chan-
tauqua county bonds, held in New
York, were offered to the county for
a premium, not being due until 1917.
The attorney generals ruling was
sought and will preclude further buy
ing Of bonds by counties which have
the money to pay them ahead of their
maturity unless the bonds can be had
at par or below.

night, coupled with threats OF fur
Their disturbance last night, led to
the call for troops.
There was no repetition yesterday
of the violence of Saturday night,
but crowds congregated about the
streets and had to be dispersed by
the police, while there were rumors
of an attack to be made at night on
the car barn, where the non-union
motormen and conductors brought
here by the Connecticut Railway and
Lighting company are quartered.
During the day all the lines were
operated as usual with the non-union
trolley men, but though there was
some hooting and jeering from the
crowds the cars were not molested.
No cars we're run after dark.
Violence continued yesterday,
though no serious damage was done.
One of the injured non-union motor
men, who is in a serious condition,
was ordered to be removed to the
hospital. Three non-union men were
ON their way to the hospital for a
stretcher when mob of several hum
dred men and boys assailed them with
rocks. The men ran and found ref
uge in the hospital. The mob sur
rounded the building and became SO
threatening that the superintendent
telephoned to the police for protec-
ton.
Three officers were sent up and
they succeeded in dispensing the mob,
but when asked to escort the men
back to the car barns it is said they
refused. Yesterday evening a squad
of officers escorted them to the car
barns. About 20 non-union men have
been injured in the riots.

ALLIES WEAKENING.
'3rsunds for Hoping That Trouble
win Soon Be Adjusted.
il IMPORTANT CONFERENCE HELD.
a Note TO ne Addressed TO Great Brita'n'
Germany and Italy Urging nm Accept
anoe Of Preferential Payments
for q Short Period.

h Washington, Feb. 4.-There are a.
yet no advices from the allied gov
crnments respecting the nature OF
the next proposal they will submit
70 Mr.. Bowen, Venezuela's repre-
sentative, for a settlement OF their
claims, but there is good authority
I for the statement that the note OF
\ Mr.. Bowen, addressed to the British
ambassador Monday night, will re-
suit in an adjustment of the trouble
Al the British embassy yesterday the
most important conference that the
representatives Of the allies have held
among themselves took place. AS a
result Of this conference the foreign
Offices in London, Berlin and Rome
are in possession of suggestions
which, II adopted, will mean the sue
cess Of the Washington negotiations
and the raising Of the blockade. The
allied powers have been again re-
auested by their representatives 70
consent to priority Of payment OF
their claims for limited period only
and equality of all claimant nations
Hereafter. Mr.. Bowen has stated
that he is willing that the allies re-
ceive preferential treatment for one
month. If at the end of that time all
the claimant nations be placed on an
equal basis ~ to time and proper
Tomato payments.
II Is the conviction Of one OF tho
negotiators at least that this propo-
sition Of Mr.. Bowen Is eminently fair.
Il involves a compromise Of the pow
ers' original request for six years
preferential treatment, but will
enable them to retain q part at least
81 their prestige. The feeling 10
growing that a persistence in their
present position can result only in
loss Of prestige for the allies and bad
feeling against them not only in Ven
ezuela, but elsewhere throughout the
Americas. As result of these con-
alterations it was agreed at the con-
ference at the British embassy that
4 note should be addressed to the
three governments of Great Britain,
Germany and Italy, setting forth the
exact attitude Of the United States
with reference to the powers prefer
entail demand, the state Of public
feeling here regarding 1t and urging
. prompt acceptance Of preferential
payments for a period of from one
70 six months. An answer Is hoped
FOR from one, II not all, the allies
within the next "a hours.
The question Of referring the one
question of preferential treatment to
The Hague for allotment, as sug-
gested by Mr.. Bowen in his note to
the British ambassador, came up at
the conference and 1t was evident at
once that the negotiators were one in
their opposition to calling in The
Hague tribunal except as. last re-
sort,

TO LIMIT MARRIAGES
Law Is Proposed REQUIRING Persons
to Pass Examinations,

Every man and woman in Decatur
county who intend to marry must
be examined by marriage com
mission which will determine whether
or not they are fit to enter the
matrimonial state. That is, they will
be examined in common with every
other couple in the state of Iowa
if the plan of the Des Moines minister
lal association is carried out. This
phase OF the marriage relation will I'M
doubtedly be of interest to our young
men and women who are seriously con-
slderlng occupying cottage together
even though the expressions of opinion
concerning the advisability of apply
ing test as to their fitness to live to-
gether comes from people unknown to
them. Des Moines newspaper print
ed the following on the meeting of the
ministerial association in that city and
the question discussed:
A marriage commission to pass upon
the fitness of men and women about to
enter into the state of matrimonv. was
advocated at the meeting of the Des
Moincs ministerial association at the Y.

| Avery, a retired Congressional pastor,
Introduced lhe suggestion. III was dlS-
cussed by the ministers but no formal

who addressed the meeting upon the
subject Of divorce, was urged by Rev
MIR. Avery to father, in the next gencl-
al assembly of Iowa bill to provide for
a marriage commission in every county
SIX physicians, three women and thres
men, would constitute the county com
missioncrs, if Mr.. Avery's plan was
adopted by the legislature. They would
have absolute control of marriages
Without the stamp Of their approval
matrimonial ventures would be hope
less and the divorce courts would be
forced to take vacation Mr.. Aver,
did not state how the members of tn,
commission should be chosen.
