Kansas city southern Affairs.

Stuart R. Knott, president of the
Kansas City Southern, returned from
New York Sunday and was at his Of
fee yesterday. When asked if any
changes were likely to be made in the
management of the road after the
stockholders meeting Wednesday he
said:
''There will undoubtedly be many
changes in the board as the Holland
business men who own the stock will
vote it direct. The management of
the road has not sought to gain or
asked for the proxies of these men and
they win have representatives at the
meeting"
D. G. Boissevain and Herman
SieIcken, both of New Y ork, will ar
rive here today. They represent the
Dutch stockholders of the road and
will vote by proxy for them.
A tabulated statement of receipts

Question About Tracks of Missouri
Pacific Railroad.

When a railroad, in sending its trains
between two points within the state OF
Kansas, runs those trains on tracks par
tialIy outside the state, does the road
thereby put itself beyond the jurisdiction
of the state board of railroad conInls-
sioners on the ground that the trafIlc IS
interstate?
This is the point which is raised as an
issue by J. w. Poore of Mound City Mr.
Poore is an attorney and he takes excep-
ton to the boards ruling that it has no
right to order the Missouri Pacific to run
its trains at more frequent intervals pc
Poore cites former decisions of tn board
to sustain his contention that the state
board has jurisdiction in such cases.
Let these objections be made by the
company at the time of the hearing and
we Will meet them" is what Mr.. Poofe

the State Money.

At the request of Senator Getty of
Wyandotte, Governor Hoch has instruct
ed Attorney General Coleman to inves-
tigate the alleged failure of the Home
Riverside Coal Mining company of
Leavenworth to pay to the state school
fund a royalty of Il cent a ton which it
was required to pay for mining coal IN
der the city Of Leavenworth.
Senator Getty thinks that this claim
has been running ever since 1859, and
that the amount due the school fund
from the coal company will be about
S25. 900. The claims OF the state do not
outlaw, and in view of the fact that
the Home-Riverside company is about
to change hands. Senator Getty thinks
that the state should get into the game
and try to secure a settlement.
