THE BANKRUPTS OF KANSAS
An Average of Two Hundred Cases y
Year Since 1898.

There have been 1,116 admissions to
bankruptcy court in Kansas since the
enactment of the federal bankruptcy
law in 1898. making an average of 200
cases a year, most of them voluntary.
The ratio Of voluntary bankruptcy
cases Is much larger than OF those
which are forced upon business men.
Under an order Of the clerk of the dis
trict court, Frank J. Brown. 40 infor-
nation is ever given out for publica-
ton regarding voluntary cases. This
being the fact @ who have failed In
business have no hesitation about TAX
ing their affairs into court.
The rule not only protects the unfor-
tunate in business from unpleasant
publicity. but 1t helps business for the
clerk OF the court, who Is paid at the
rate of $40 a case. Were all voluntary
cases made public there would not be
as many of them. Since the passage
Of the law there have been in Kansas
942 voluntary and ia involuntary pro-
ceedings. Fully half OF these have been
filed in the office Of the clerk at To-
peka, while the others have been di-
vided between the Fort Scott and
Wichita divisions. The business has
not remained steady, but has increased
from year to year, the first rush being
brought on by failures left over from
he hard times of the early COS.

one of the leaders of the mutiny at the
site OF the new United States peniten.
tiary at ~Leavenworth, Kan, on the
afternoon of November 7, 1901, has beer
returned to Fort feavenworth, having
been captured nea Longmont, Colo.
Hating and Arthur Hewitt was the real
bad men of the convict mutiny and
they have been wanted badly by the
federal prison officials. Hewitt Is serv-
ing a term in the state prison Of Texas
for horse stealing, committed since the
mutiny. and the governor Of that state
has agreed to pardon him when he is
requested by the United States attor-
ney general to do SO. II IL thought that
both Hewitt and Hating will be tried
at Topeka this month.
Hewitt and Rating are the convicts
who secured weapons from the outside
and melted the twenty-four other con-
victs to mutiny at the site of the new
prison on November z. 1901. They were
the leaders from the beginning to the
end OF the outbreak. Hewitt escaped
into Texas. where he was captured for
horsestealing. He was convicted and
sentenced to serve five years in prison.
He travelled under an assumed name
and had served nearly a year of his SEN
tence before he was identified as
Hewitt. Warden McClaughry at once
set at work to secure a pardon for the
convict in order to bring him here for
trial for his life. and he has about sue
ceeded in his efforts.
Rating breathed the air Of freedom
longer than Hewitt, his partner in
crime. He went direct to the Indian
Territory after the mutiny and re-
NAMED In hiding there until after the
trial Of the mutineers In Leavenworth
recently. When he learned that Ave
mutineers had been coveted OF MUIR
der in the first degree he became
alarmed and sought a new hiding
place. He secured work on a ranch
near Longmont. Colo. and was plowing
when detectives captured him. He had
a revolver and had nc opportunity to
use. He said afterward that he would
have given the officers a good fight II
he had had half a chance. He admit
ted that he would probably be hanged
II brought back to Fort L~eavenwogth,
but seemed resigned to his fate.
When Hating escaped from the fed.
eral prison he was serving a sentenvs
Of five years for horse stealing. He
was suffering from a bullet wound in
the leg inflicted by officer. near Choir
ka, l. T.. recently. where he was want.
ed for stealing cattle.

Mrs. B~Ooth-Tucker was the second
daughter OF General William Booth,
and was said to be the ablest OF all
the Booth children. She had enthusi-
asm. tempered with cold judgment and
executive ability. IL was these quail
ties which induced her father to send
her to the United States in 1896 to try
TO bring about harmony In the Amer
lean branch OF the army. The follow
lng characterization was made of her
at that time:
"She has that rare quality of per-
feet sympathy. She is a we'll educated
woman In the sense that she can think
and write clear. good English. She
q no class prejudices. and Is Just a.
much at home In the parlors Of a house
In Fifth avenue as In the one and only
room Of a sQualid family. But It is in
the public meeting that her real power
shows itself. As an orator she ranks
with less than half a dozen Americans
OF both sexes"

CanAdisns willing and Ready to Join
the United States.
The declaration that the existing re-
lations between Canada and Great
Britain can not exist much longer was
made by the Halifax Chronicle. the
leading newspaper supporter In the
maratime provinces Of the liberal par
~. In the course Of an unusually out
spoken editorial on the recent Alaska
boundary award. the Chronicle ex-
presses what It says is the unanimous
dissatisfaction of Canadians at the ac-
ton OF the British government In the
matter. The paper says:
This Alaska episode has made It
clear that u existing relations to the
empire cannot be continued much long
or. We are even now at the parting Of
the ways, Our subordinate position
has been 30 clearly and humiliatingly
revealed that 1t must speedily become
utterly uncomfortable"
The Chronicle adds that there are
now only two courses open to Canada,
complete legislative independence with
In the empire, acknowledging the SOW
ereignty OF the king OF England alone,
or. he status OF an independent ma
ton. The paper says there is much "a
commend the latter step in particular
because It would free Canada from the
danger of ever being embroiled with
the United States on accoun of its
European connection, and at the same
time II would secure for the dominion
the benefit Of the protection of the
Monroe doctrine.

ASSESSMEST OF CREDITS
Under IA New Revenue Law Test Cases
Will Bs Made,

Will Be Made,
The contention OF the jobbing and
wholesale interests OF Omaha in regard
to the assessment OF creditors under
the new revenue law, which is now de-
clared TO be In effect In Omaha. is to
be heard In the supreme court, although
Tax Commissioner Fleming has reced-
ed from his first position and will fol-
low the advice of City Attorney Wright
and the state board OF equalization.
Mr.. Fleming is OF the impression
that gross credits should he assessed,
and at their face value. The jobbers
have contended that It would be mani
testify unfair to assess gross credits
ut their face value when commercial
PAPER is only assessed at It's actual val
alton, regardless Of its face. They in
slst OF the taxation Of the gross credits
~ the taxpayers Indebtedness. which
would be the net credits. Any other
system, II is asserted, would result
y double and sometimes triple taxa
ton.
Several suits are now pending in the
Douglas county courts In regard to the
matter and several others have been
decided in favor of the taxpayers. They
will be appealed. merely for the pur-
pose of getting an Interpretation OF the
new Jaw.
Although he has not changed his
personal opinion Of the true interpre-
tation of the credit section OF the new
law. Mr.. Fleming bows to the superior
numbers Of the state board of equali-
zation and the taxpayers attorneys, to
facilitate matters. He will discard the
new oath provided In the law and will
use the old one until an opinion has
been handed down by the supreme
court.
The validity of the new act probably
will be tested by the wholesale dealers
and by the insurance companies. 1t Is
alleged by foreign insurance corpora
lions that there is rank discrimination
in favor OF home companies and that
the proposed assessments OF gross pre-
miums Is unconstitutional. The as
sessment Is 2 per cent Of the gross
amount. which Is alleged to be ex-
cessive. State companies are assessed
on gross receipts less Reinsurance and
cancellations and are taxed on the same
percentage OF valuation as other prop
erty.
No action will be made to test the
validity Of the act until the state board
OF equalization has met and organized
and the law is in actual operation. but
the attorneys are already engaged In
reviewing the records Of the passage
OF the bill and carefully noting all err
rors. of variation from the procedure
established and defined by statute for
the curse Of legislation.
