RAILROAD ENJOlNED.
Restrained From Encroaching on Kaw
Channel at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 16.-James S.
Gibson, county attorney of Wyandotte
county, has filed Injunction proceedings
against the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad in the common pleas
court in Kansas City, Kan, asking that
| the company be restrained from dump
ing material into the channel of the
kaw river near the mouth of Turkey
creek and that the banks already made
be declared a nuisance and that the
company be restrained from maintain
ing them.
1t is similar to the proceedings al
ready filed by Mr.. Gibson against the
Santa Fe railroad to restrain it from
encroaching on the channel of the Kaw
river at and below Argentine.
In the petition filed it is alleged that
the burlington railroad has been en-
gagged in widening and adding to it's
permanent right of way along the
banks of the Kaw river for some time:
1t has been throwing large quantities of
sand, earth, straw and refuse from its
cars into the channel of the river, form
ing an embankment or artificial bank
which has DETECTED the water away
from the natural bank.
The petition says that the company
has appropriated a part OF the channel
for distance of 600 feet, the made land
being 80 feet wide in some places. Along
this artificial bank it has constructed
five tracks.
BY the narrowing of the channel it is
alleged, the volume of the water in
through the channel, the same being
encroached upon and DISTRACTED near
the south bank until the current is
forced against and overfiows the north
bank, flooding packing houses, factories,
machine shops, elevators, business and
dwelling houses. The petition asks that
the company be forced to remove the
banks already made.
The Burlington tracks extend for sew
eraI hundred feet along the east bank
of the Kaw river near the mouth of
Turkey creek. These tracks were in
Guided in the proceedings filed against
the Santa F'e, but in the temporary
hearing against the Santa Fe
recently completed it was de-
velOped that the Burlington tracks lay
between the Santa F'e tracks and the
bank of the river for some distance.
This necessitated the filing of separate
proceedings against the Burlington
Judge William G. Holt issued a tenn
porary restraining order. The case was
set for a hearing August 20.

MAYOR WAS TOO SLOW.
Carter Harrison Can't Do Anything
With the Strike.

Chicago. Aug. 16.-Despite the mayors
Intervention, prospects for peace in the
packing house strike were far from reas-
surfing today. The packers at a meeting
held last night in Swift Sc Co.'S offices
appointed a committee consisting of Ed
ward Tilden, Thomas Z. Wilson and
Thomas z. Connors to represent them at
a conference with the mayor, but today
an official OF one of the big companies
poured cold water on the enterprise by
declaring there was nothing on earth the
mayor could do to bring about a settle
ment. The packers attitude was that
while nothing of a benefit could result
from a meeting with the mayor, it would
not do to refuse to go to the city hall.
On the other hand the strike leaders
We're equally antagonistic. President
Donnelly declared he did not expect to
be present at the time the conference
was to meet. He said his reason was that
at the hour named he had to address the
hog butchers union.
And the hog butchers are great deal
more important to me than the mayor,
said the head of the strikers. Harrison
was too long getting in He has heard
our cry for fair police treatment, and has
ignored it. He need not think that now
he can snap his fingers or whistle and
have us come to his bidding"

The Ohio Mayor who resigned
his Job because he found it impos-
sible to hold office and live up to
his religious belief at the same
time is not of this world, and will
probably soon be called to his
home in Heaven. But, why does
he find it impossible to reconcile
his religion to his high office? Is
it because he has not the back
bone to give the people the benefit
of his administration and not the
politicians. He's a foolish man.
He might have given his city
something to remember; but ne
made the mistake of thinking that
office tenure and politics must
necessarily go together and ne
preferred to sacrifice his oppor-
tunity rather than demorallze ac-
eepted political practices. His re-
Igor, it seems to us, should have
prompted him to the admlnlstra'
ton of his office in manner une
quivocally honest, instead OF the
resignation of it. 1t would have
created comment, no doubt anC
he could never again be elected
but he could have completed hl'
term to the satisfaction of himsel:
and the decent people of his OWL
city. Now he steps down and on
and hands the administration owe
to some other man whose religious
belief probably will not interior
with his ideas of municipal gov
eminent. The halo he has place'
upon his martyred head does no
| fit him.
