then came to Manhattan where they told to

SUE STANDARD OIL.
Il RECEIVER ASKED.
Kansas attorney General Also 1t
tackS Many Railroads.

Topeka, Kan, March Attorney General
Coleman Of the State Of Kansas to-day filed
suit in the Supreme Court asking that re-
ceiver be appointed for the Prairie Oil and Gas
Company. the Kansas branch OF the Standard
OIL Company, on account Of alleged violation of
the State laws.
The writ made returnable on March 10
and the answer 10 the application will be made
on March 80 All the railroad companies in the
State, with the exception of the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe. made parties to the suit
In addition. action is brought against the Trans
continental Freight Bureau, the Western Trunk
Line Company and the Southwestern Traffic
Committee. Ali these concerns are alleged to
have entered into an agreement with the Stand
ard Oil Company to make rates which dis
criminative on oil and byproducts
The petition says no report has been made to
the State as to the solvency Of the Standard,
and that no charter fee has been paid the State.
In this contention the Attorney General thinks
he has a strong case against the Standard, as
the Kansas law governing corporations is ex-
plicit in requiring financial statements and
charter fees.
In addition, the Attorney General alleges that
the capital stock Of the Standard Oil Company
being S120,0000 600, over $4,000 should have
been paid 20 the Kansas School Fund.

The scandaious conduct OF the aldermen in
holding up the franchise of the New-York Con-
Meeting Railway Company is stirring up resent
ment all along the line Alderman Sullivan says
he has received hundreds of letters from people
in Queens protesting against the building of the
road. The place for such letters is in the files
and lockers of the committee in the City Clerks
Office. There are no such letters file there.
The only reason why the franchise should not
be acted on at once is a monetary one" said ex-
Borough President Swanstrom of Brooklyn yes
terday. Il think II the right parties are assured
that the contract for the building Of the road Will
so 10 them and if the committee is properly
seen there viii be further delay It is almost
needless TO say that the business interests of
Brooklyn are disguised at the hold-up meet
ing of the Transportation Reform League has
been called for Saturday afternoon. AT that
meeting we shall consider the feasibility of
asking for a mandamus 10 compel the alder
men TO take some action. We cannot ask that
they act favorably unfavorably. We can ask
that some action be taken, however. and that
there be an end of the hold-up.
Failing to get satisfaction in that way.
shall send to Albany a bill to take away from
the aldermen the power to consider franchises
in any manner whatsoever. The Board of EST
mate is an elective body, and it is thoroughly
qualified TO handle franchise questions. The
sole function Of the aldermen Of late seems to be
TO hold up public improvements until various
interests in the board have been consulted in a
manner known to the initiated"
William C. Redffeld, Of Brooklyn ex-Commis-
sioner Of Public Works. takes much the same
view as Mr.. Swanstrom. He said:
This connecting railroad franchise matter is
thing of vital Importance to the business in
terests of Brooklyn. Unless the franchise is
granted and the road built Brooklyn will not get

company is expanding millions Of dollars in this
city, and unless the connecting road is built

Transit Commission. as in the present case, the
law says:
