BE NO MISTAKE.
w. Y. Morgan Discusses Governors
Attitude Concerning Joints.

W. 7. Morgan of Hutchinson thinks
that it would not injure Governor
Hoch politically to close the joints in
Leavenworth, Wichita, Atchison and
Kansas City, Kan. While in Topeka
Friday he said:
1T is my opinion that by closing
the Joints in these towns which are
recognized as the strongholds Of the
whisky crowd, the governor would
make no mistake. The sentiment OF
these towns is against Governor HOch
anyway, and it would not be any more
against him if he should enforce the
law there. On the other hand, it
would make Hoch solid with the pro-
hibition people of the state. The
small towns and the farming COM
munities are generally dry; they want
the law enforced, and it is the small
towns and farmers who control the
state.
IF the governor should close up the
joints in Wichita, it would result in
the closing OF. the joints in a number
of smaller towns in the vicinity. A
big town like Wichita sets the example
for the smaller ones. The fight here
in Topeka is fierce because it is the
capital of the state, and it is of great
importance to either side to control
the situation here. Down in Hutchin-
son [ am informed that the situation
is similar to what it is in Topeka; the
joints run quietly in the back rooms. .

NAN PATTERSON HOME.
Large Crowd Cheers Her When She
Arrives in Washington.

Washington, May 13.=Nan Patter-
son, accompanied by her father and
Mr.. and Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, arrived
in Washington from New York this
morning, and upon leaving the train
the party at once proceeded to the
Patterson home on Columbia. Heights.
a modest two-story cottage, where
they arrived in time for breakfast.
A crowd of curious persons awaited
the arrival of the train at the Penn
sylvania depot. After some minutes
in the station, the sleeper in which
were the Patterson party was with
drawn to a place on a siding The
car soon was surrounded by much
larger crowd which grew in size. 1t
was announced that Miss Patterson
had not completed her toilet
1t was just 8 o'clock when Miss
Patterson made her appearance from
the state room she had occupied with
her sister during the night A car
riage was in waiting and the police
pressed the crowd back while all OF
the party entered the vehicle. AS the
door of the carriage slammed, the
crowd which had been silent. voiced
its approval in cheers. Miss Patterson
was dressed in a costume of blue
with hat TO match, and looked well
and refreshed by the good sleep she
had enjoyed AS she reached the car
door her father, who was with her
said to a number of newspaper mer
on its platform:
This is Nan Patterson"
s'I can only say that I am glad tC
see YOU" Immediately responded Miss
Patterson, "and that I am so glad tC
get home"
When the carriage conveying the
party reached the corner of the street
adjacent to the Patterson residence
the impatient girl could restrain her
self no longer. She sprang from the
vehicle and ran down the block, stop
ping to hug and kiss her relatives as
she came to them on their way tC
meet her. She hesitated only long
enough to give a brief greeting to eacF
in her hurry to reach home and moth
er. She disappeared through the door
after running up the steps, with out
stretched arms and the word moth

my spare time during the next six
months at studying the Kansas tariffs-
propose to make myself familiar with
this situation I don't believe that It
ought to take man 25 years TO be-
come personally familiar with the rate
situation as the SO-called sexenpts'
employed by the railroads assert. They
say that ordinary people haven't any
business to talk about freight rates be-
cause they don't know anything about
the scientific difficulties of the situa-
ton. With all their scientific rate max
ing, the railroads charge S125 for a
carload of oranges from Los Angeles to
Topeka and $125-exactly the same=for
a carload of oranges from Los Angeles
to New York. That may be science,
but it isn't common sense They
charge $500 for a carload of dour from
Hutchinson to certain Colorado points,
and that isn't right, either. All these
things will be irOned out some time but
it VIII be years. Congress will have to
pass the law giving the interstate ccm-
merce commission the right to fix rates
on com piaint.
''The trouble has been that the con
sumers have had no one to protect them
from imposition. The manufacturers have
protected themselves, the jobbers have
protected themselves and the cattIemen
have protected themselves DuE they have
all showed their prices up little when
freight rates advanced, and the consum-
ers have paid the bill
One of the features Of the new law is
the provision that a railroad can not raise
or lower a freight rate without first Sc
curing the consent OF the state board
This makes a large amount of additional
work for the board because when d
change is allowed, the board must notify
all competing lines so that they can, if
they desire meet the change.
Another new feature is the filing of all
Kansas tariff sheets. Every road is
obliged, under the. law, to keep d complete
file of all it's tariffs at the office of the
board. The work of filing these tariffs
is attende to by Ed Sinners. in addition
to his other duties as stenographer for
the board.

STRIKERS ARE FIRM.
Threaten to ParaIyze Transfer Busi-

Chicago, May 13.-Peter Doyle of
the Chicago Team Owners association
denied today that the association here
tOfore neutral in the teamsters' strike
had definitely determined to abandon
its cOnciliatory policy. It was report
ed last night that the members of four
associations who have preserved a
neutral attitude thus far have taken a
positive stand and either a settlement
of the present strike or a spread to far
greater proportions is expected by the
early part of next week. The owners
held a conference, after which Presf-
dent Shea was sent for and asked if
he would permit his union teamsters
to deliver goods for the team owners
to bOycotted houses. Upon the re-
fusal of Shea it was announced that a
committee of team owners would go
before the joint council which is
ton than the strike committees.
Members of the Chicago Team own
ers association, the Commercial Team
Owners association, the Van Team
Owners association and the Lumber
mems association were in the confer
ence. The associations represented
employ approximately 5000 men.
It has been represented to the team
owners that they must make deliver
les in order to live up to contracts.

association had definitely determined

action of the owners was made known
