TELEGRAPH SUIT.
The Appeal Argued in Supreme
Court Today.

A suit to decide the constitusionality
of the law passed by the special session
of 1898, putting the price of ten ward
kilograms between Kansas points down
to Is cents. was submitted today to the
supreme court.
While this law has been on the stat
ute books for more than four years, and
while numerous suits were brought I'M
der it against the Western Union Tele-
graph company, its validity has never
been passed upon by the supreme
court. Suits involving it have never
reached that court until this one.
W. H. Stebbins offered to the Western
Union Telegraph company at its office
in Kansas City, Kan, 399 kilograms to
hay dealers over the state, making a
quotation on hay. He offered the COM
pany IL cents. the rate allowed by the
statute, which the company refused,
charging the customary Is cents.
The law provides that if a telegraph
company shall refuse or fail to transmit
and deliver a telegram between Kansas
points at the rate allowed by the law,
both the sender and the one to whom 1t
is addressed shall be entitled to recover
a penalty of 800 from the company,
with attorneys fees. Stebbins brought
suit in justice court in Wyandotte
county for $39, 800 in penalties and SIC, 900
in attorneys fees.
The Western Union company then
filed a suit for Injunction in the Shaw
nee county district court, asking that
oteDDlhS, together Will II, a. OecDoAtis'
the Topeka attorney, and others who
were representing him, be restrained
from filing and prosecuting such suits,
on the ground that the law on which
they were based is unconstitutional and
that they were simply piling up a null
tiplicity of suits to harass tire COM
pany.
The lower court granted the ;njunc-
ton after a legal battle, and then the
suit was appealed to the suprme court
That was several months ago, but 1t will
finally be argued and submitted today.
A decision will be due next month I'M
less the court gets tied up on the mat
ter.

KANSAS WON 1T.
But She May Lose the Spoor
Trophy Anyhow.

Reports from Chicago indicate that
the Kansas State Agricultural college
is to be beaten out of a prize at the
international live stock show, when the
prize rightfully belongs to the Kansas
institution. The prize is what is known
as the Spoor trophy, and is given to
the Agricultural college whose students
make the best record in stock judging
contest. Iowa now holds the trophy ana
if it should secure it this year the
Iowa college would have the privilege
of keeping it.
1t is alleged that the judges in the
contest decided that the students of
the Kansas college ought to have the
prize, although information on the sub
ject has not been definitely given out,
but other colleges, older and nearer
Chicago, made such an uproar over the
trophy going away out to Kansas that
the managers of the show decided that
a new set of judges should pass on the
question. The decision was due several
days ago, but has not yet been an
nounced. A Chicago dispatch gives the
following version of the troubles:
In the students judging contest there
were Tumors of merry row which
bordered on scandal. The scoring was
done by the students last Saturday, and
the results should have been announced
Wednesday. The judges finished their
work and the papers were turned over
by Colonel c. f. Mills, superintendent of
the contest, to the management of the
show It is alleged that the judges had
decided in favor of the Kansas Agricul-
tural college, but that. when this in

SAYS IT'S ROOSEVELT.
Speaker Cannon Says No Other
Candidate Is Thought Of.

Washington, Dec. 11.-About so mem
bers of the committee which is here
from Chicago to secure the holding of
the Republican convention in that city,
called on Speaker Cannon today. Ad-
dressing the visitors, Mr.. Cannon ex-
pressed the opinion that they would
succeed in taking the convention to
Chicago, because, he said, he had new
er had delegation of earnest and en-
thusiastic Chicago men to come to the
capital in search of anything and go
away empty handed. He added:
1.-The work of that convention has
already been mapped out. Public SEN
timent is voiced by the great multitude
of the voters having already expressed
approval of the administration and a
desire for the nomination of President
Roosevelt for a second term.
TT does not matter what may be the
individual opinion or desire of you or me,
the Republican party has always been
and will always be controlled by the SEN
timent of the great majority and that
sentiment has already been expressed and
the work of that convention will be APP
proved at the polls in November.
1.-The Republican party has many great
leaders. Among them that great. leader
of a sister state, equal in business ability.
craftsmanship and devotion to public
service of any citizen within our borders.
He is able to speak and he has spoken
for himself His voice was in harmony
with the great sentiment of the majority.
have no doubt that in common with
other great leaders in whom the Republi-
can party and the people have confidence
he will in the future as in the past devote
his earnest efforts and give his loyal
support to the common success.

formation reached the ears of the pro-
fessors of certain other colleges there
was mighty protest. 1t was repre-
scented to the management that it would
never do to allow the Spoor trophy to
go to the wild and woolly west, clear out
side the territory of the International.
1t would be establishing a bad prece-
dent, and would be ungrateful to the
other colleges which have been whoop-
ing it up for the International.
1T is further alleged that as a result
of these protests the directors of the
show, after a protracted and stormy ses-
set of judges. with instructions to use
an entirely different system in arriving
at their verdict
Still a later telegram is as follows:
1.-THE row over the student Judging
contest grows merrier as time flies. 1t
was announced that the result would
not be made known for another week
at least. In the meantime the fate of
the Spoor trophy hangs in the balance.
If the award is made to Iowa, it will
own the cup outright, having already
won it twice in succession. No matter
who wins. this is probably the finish
OF the student judging contest, which
has bred series of rows and scandals.
''The judges turned their papers over
to the international management and
one of them said afterward that he
couldn't tell what college had won, but
that the students from the Kansas col
lege at Manhattan had a very high
standing. The original announcement
was that the name of the winner would
be given to the public on Tuesday of
this week. But the matter has been
being that some of the colleges nearer
Chicago that have been in high favor
with the International management
protested against the award being
given to a remote state like Kansas
that had never done anything for the
show To the victors belong the spoils'
said they. We have been bringing our
students here for years and have en-
tirely ignored the Kansas City show

there will be trouhle', >,

Mrs. Fairs Relatives.

Paris, Dec. 1.-Dr. Perriquet, consid-
cred the leading witness in the Fair will
case, testified today before Commissioner
Eiser Of New York. He said he arrived
on the scene an hour after the automo-
bile accident and found both Charles L.
Fair and his wife dead. The body of
Mr.. Fair was already rigid. but that OF
his wife was not rigid, indicating that the
former died first. From the condition of
Mr.. Fairs body the witness believed his
death had been instantaneous The condi-
ton of Mrs. Fairs body indicated that her
death was not instantaneous DR.. Peril
quet recited the case of a woman who
was murdered near the scene of the ac-
cident. Her wounds. which were in the
head, were almost Identical with those of
Mrs. Fair, the victim living for many
hours.
The witness further testified that while
he was unable to swear positively whether
Mr.. Fair or Mrs. Fair died first yet his
positive opinion was that Mrs. Fair must
have survived her husband.
The court has received letter signed
Lescour, official of the local mayor S
office, near the scene of the accident, say
ing that the porters wife who found the
bodies told him she saw Mrs. Fairs hand
move after Mr. Fair was dead. The cross

rested the crew on one of the big cars
for running a car without a proper
fender Bond was given in police court
for them and the car was taken to the
barn and locked up. Mr.. Crouch ap-
peared in his own behalf at the hearing
and the trial of the case was set for the
14th. Today the street car service was
cut down to one car an hour, only the
small cars being operated, as the big
ones are the ones to which objection is
made. Z
The contention over these tenders has
resulted up to date in the arrest of three
crews and the hearing of all the cases
has been set for the 18th Until that
time it may be expected that but one
