LICENSE TAX QUESTION.
Express Companies Testing the New
City Ordinance.

Argument was heard Friday after
ing the license tax recently imposed
by lately passed ordinance upon ex-
press companies doing business within
the corporate limits of the town. At
torney j. O,Keef, formerly city attor-
ney OF Ieavenworth, appeared for the
United States Express company, VIII o
demur at paying the license of 500,
While the city was represented by City
Attorney Spencer.
In the main the argument presented
by the city attorney was that the Ii
cense failed to infringe upon the inter-
state commerce law and inasmuch as
1t confined itself to the state in which
the city was located it fail to tran
scend in its powers beyond the powers
usually prescribed to ordinances as
passed by cities.
The attorney for the United States
Express company claimed, and cited
authority, that the city of Topeka
could not impose a tax upon the bust
ness of an express company since the
business of that company was not
confined to Topeka but was between
points. The ordinance was. going be-
yond itself when it attempted to tax
business not confined Immediately to
the city in which an ordinance of the
character under question was passed.
Judge Hamilton has taken the
question under Amusement and will
render an opinion next week, Monday.
If adverse the United States Express
company will appeal.

on q negro gambling joint Monday
night, which resulted in the arrest and
indictment of George Honan. Mike HaG-
gerty, George Degg, Harry Hartley and
Harry Keene, charged with the murder
has set the city in a flame of excite
ment, and what promises to be the
hardest fought legal battle in the local
history of criminal jurisprudence was
inaugurated in criminal court today at
noon, when the five gamblers were for
mally presented for. arraignment. Hag-
gerty, Honan, Degg, Hartley and Keene
each pleaded not guilty to the 1ndtct-
ments. Congressman M. r. Patterson
appeared in defense of the prisoners.
District Attorney Frazer, assisted by
an able corps of volunteers from the
Tennessee bar, conducted the prosecu-
ton. United States Senator Carmack
volunteered his services in the prosecu-
ton and will be allowed to assist. He
will arrive here in time to address the
jury.
From indications during the proceed
ings every point is to be hotly contest
ed by both state and defendants. After
the arraignment of the men General
Patterson indicated to the court that
his clients would waive absolutely none
of their legal rights. This declaration
came after Frazer had demanded to
know if the defendants wanted copies
of the indictments against them. Grim
inaI Judge Moss Immediately ordered
the clerk to make copies of each indict-
ment and present them to the defend
ants.
The formality of arraigning the pris-
oners occupied 25 minutes. Each of the
indictments was read in full to the &C
cused, and they entered their pleas of
not guilty in defiant manner
At II o'clock the prisoners were led
into the court room by the rear en-
trance. Deputy sheriffs were guarding
them, while patrolmen came into the
room to render any assistance neces-
sary.
Sheriff Blackwell had the police patrol
wagon sent down to the Jail and the
prisoners were brought to the court
house in this vehicle and taken back in
the same manner. There was no demon
stration of any sort made against the
quintet.

Cider Smith has announced the fol-
lowing forecast:
1.-The reason have for naming a day

TT is a drawing line between almost
continuous rains and weather more
open with more clear good weather
ahead. To people who observe, it is
easy to see the difference. The temper
ature will not run very high during the
balance of July. There may be some
short spurts. 1t will take some time to
equalize the temperature of the wa
tiers of the great northern lakes with
the land temperatures to a, normal con-
dition. Further on in the season storm
periods will be more clearly defined.

between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
Detitioned for pavement 80 feet wide,
in the spring of 1908, all was har-
monious. The city council granted
the petition without suspecting the
dilemma which it was getting into.
This was discovered before long, how
ever Two courses were open to the
council:
First-To order the pavement laid
TO connect with the existing intersec-
ton. which would throw 1t five feet
closer to the sidewalks on the west
side of the street than to the side
walks on the east side of the street.
Second-To lay the pavement in the
center of the 75-foot street or Y
feet further east than it would be if
built to connect with the existing in
tersection. This would necessitate
building a new intersection.
Mr.. Low and Mr.. Reid urged that
the first plan should be adopted, and
after some stormy debates before the
streets and walks committee and the
whole council, they carried their
point Then the McClintock faction
brought an injunction suit to re-
strain the city from laying the pave
ment as il had voted to do. The
court refused to grant the injunction.
on the ground that the city council
had the right to lay the pavement
where it pleased.

RAILRoADED TO PRISON.
Negroes Hurried Through Trial to
Avoid a Lynching.

Mount Holly, N. J., July 16.-Aaron
Timber, Jonas Sims and William Aus
tin, negroes who confessed to assault
ing Mrs Elsie Biddle of Burlington, N.
J., were sentenced to 40 years in state
prison, after a record breaking trial.
The men arrived in Mount Holly at Ills
D. m. Less than half an hour later
they had pleaded guilty, being given
the extreme penalty of the law and had
started for prison. A crowd at the rail-
road station hooted the prisoners, but
a company of militia preserved order.
Trenton was reached at 2:30 o'clock
and the men had begun their sentence
at 2:45 p. m.
Judge Gaskill explained the swift
methods employed in sending the three
negroes to the state prison. He said:
The rapidity with which the cases
ofthe three assailants of Mrs. Biddle
were tried, sentenced and sent to pris-
on was due to a meeting of 200 men
at which arrangements were made to
blow open, Mount Holly jail. secure the
three negroes and lynch them.
1t was the women of the county that
drove the men to determine on desper-
ate measures"

NEARLY 800, 900 TURNED IN.
Large Amount Realized from Sale of
School Lands.

Within the last six weeks there has
been turned into the state treasury
nearly 100000 in principal and in
terest from the sale of school lands.
The exact amount is s,997.64, as re-
ported by Captain Gibson, who has
charge of the school land records in
the auditors office. Something over
half of this amount is in payments on
principal and the balance is interest.
The principal goes directly into the
permanent school fund. and the con-
stitution provides that that fund shall
never be diminished, so that what
once goes into it can never be taken
out The interest goes into the an
nuaI school fund, and is disbursed to
the various counties of the state along
with the rest of the annual fund.
The permanent school fund now
to nearly $1,000, 900, which is
kept invested as nearly as possible in
Kansas bonds.

The Street Intersection That Is Caus-
ing All the Trouble.

The city officers proposed as a COM
promise that the pavement should be built
to connect with the old intersection at
the north end of the street, but should be
allowed to argyle just enough to be ex-
actly in the center of the 70 foot street at
the south end of the block. and Mr.. Low
agreed This was not satisfactory to the
McClintock crowd, however
Apparently the fight was over, and Mr..
on the theory that the decision of the
court had left the question still over for
the councils action, the McClintock fac
ton went back before the streets and
walks committee this spring with a re-
quest to have the pavement laid in the
center of the street all the way. A city
election had taken place since the mat
ter was before the committee previously.
The membership of the council had ma
terially changed. A new committee was
in power, The committee by a vote of {
to reversed its action and the action of
the council and voted to lay the pavement
where the McClintock crowd wanted it,
Did the COMMITTEES have any right to
take such action? Was it in their power
to reopen the question and recommend
Will the council itself have the right to
reopen the question a year after having
given supposedly final decision2 These
are questions which are raised by the
Low faction, which is anxious that things
should remain in statu quo and that the
council should keep its hands off.
eide whether it will take any further ac-
ton. or whether it will allow its last
years verdict to stand.
If the council reverSeS it's last years
action the Low crowd will doubtless take
the matter into the courts. They will not
only try to make the council stand by its
McClintock by taking away from him the
vacated portions of Fillmore street which
will claim that the vacation ordinances
were illegal because they did not make an
equal division of the vacated property
but, instead, gave it all to DR.. McClin-
took.
