PANIC PREVAILS.
Large Part OF st. Petersburg Is

district is sinister and an explosion

are going from house to house warning
the people to remain indoors, IN in
junction which the terror stricken in
habitants sitting in their darkened
homes are glad to obey.
The greatest fear is that the water
supply will be cut off and the city
burned.
The military authorities are trying to
find workmen to start up the electric
plant. The troops had not fired on the
people up to this hour

Topeka Water arrived In
the city this noon. Last Friday he
wired Mayor BergundthaI asking for a
meeting with the council and in &C

GAS ANSWER FILED.
Citizens Heard from in the Supreme
Court.

Answer has been filed in the SUI
preme court by the Kansas Natural
Gas company to the quo warranto suit
instituted by the Gas Protective asso-
company to use the public highways
for the location of their pipe line. A
demurrer to this answer has also been
filed by Frank Doster, attorney for the
! Protective association, OF the ground
that the answer makes nothing but a
claim of right to use the public high
way which h plaintiff alleges the gas
company can not ecu without spe-
cifc authority from the legislature.
and such authority has never been
granted. The case VIII probably be
argued before the supreme court on
the demurrer on February s. z
In answer to the q.o warranto suit.
the pipe line company admits that it
is planning to pipe natural gas to To-
peka before spring, bu~not a word is
said about h alleged $1an to also pipe
the gas to Kansas City.
1t is claimed hat the company has
secured permission to 1ay the mains in
the highways not only from the abut-
ting property but also rom the
the highways are in any way OBJ
structed or rendered dangerous is en-
phatically denied. It is also set up
that all the other southern Kansas
in the highways. If the court should
decide that the pipe tine has
no right to lay its pipes in the high
ways. the authorities could compel
every other pipe line company doing
business to take UP ITS mains. h
following is from the nswor
I'm building, constructing, utilizing
and operating the said gas plants, il
has been the general custom and
usage of the owners thereof to utilize
the public oad and highways in the
several counties for the laying of
mains and pipes. That in said Mont
gomery county there is so laid at least
500 miles of said gas mains. all of
which was laid without permission
asked or received from the highway
commissioners of said county.
""The people of this state, and more
particularly of the counties and lOcali-
ties where such use of the highways
has been made, and the owners of
land adjacent to such roads and high
ways. have acquiesced in and ap-
proved of such use of the roads and
highways
The defendants answer also goes to
considerable length to show that there
is a vast surplus of gas in the south
ern Kansas field, which is much in
demand in other parts of the state.
The absence of all reference to Kansas
City is again conspicuous. It is
claimed that the gas company owns
wells with a capacity of 700. 100000
cubic feet a day, and that it has a
market for only 10000 cubic feet.

There has been a bill introduced into
the Pennsylvania legislature which
provides for the abolition of the office
of justice of the peace and the sub
stitution of magistrates, who shall be
apportioned at the rate of one to each
Is, 900 inhabitants. These magistrates
shall be paid regular salaries, and all
fees shall go into the public treasury.
It is claimed by the authors of the bill
that it would result in a great saving
20 the people of the state, as it would
largely reduce litigation and great
" promote the ends of justice. The
large number of justices, as wen as the
fact that they must depend upon their
costs and fees for their remuneration
says the Pittsburg Post. has undoubt-
edly been promotive of litigation. An
other cause of this has been the fact
that no particular qualifications are re-
quired of these officials. If the pres
ent system were replaced by one which
would require justices or magistrates
to have some knowledge of the law.
and providing for their payment by
salaries instead of costs and fees. the
people of the commonwealth would
undoubtedly be benefited.

Ackerman Loses His Suit.

The supreme court has dismissed
the Alderman injunction suit which
came up from Wichita and has been
pending for some time. The dismissal
is a victory for the city of Wichita
over one j. ]. Alderman, who owned
an island in the Arkansas river and
objected to having it aiken into the
city limits. Ackerman was beaten in
the lower courts. and in taking an
appeal he failed to secure an injunc-
ton. The city of Wichita therefore
went ahead and took him into the
city. The case was dismissed on the
ground that the act which Mr.. Acker-
man sought to prevent had already
been accomplished, and that there
fore there was nothing for the parties
to fight about.
