Attorneys at Kansas

KANSAS CITY, July 31.-A meeting OF
the creditors of Charles J. Devlin, the
former millionaire coal operator, was held
here today There was no action that the
creditors could take except to hear re-
port in part from the receivers and to
discuss possible methods of realizing rap
idly on the property.
About the time the receivers were ap-
pointed a call for this meeting was issued
by some of the men who were anxious to
save the property from being scattered. All
three of the receivers were present at the
meeting. The three receivers have their ap-
pointments in such shape that the Kansas
receivers are recognized in Illinois and the
Illinois receivers in Kansas, and, while ap-
pointed separately, they really form one
board OF receivers.
Most of those attending the meeting are
lawyers, attorneys for banks, trust compa-
nies, brokers or others from whom Mr.
Devlin borrowed money George r. Peck,
general counsel for the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul, is one of the lawyers inter-
ested in his own behalf. Mr. Peck was in

RUSSIA WILL SHOW THE WAY
Count TuIstOi Says Present Movement
VIII Result in AbOIishing
Property i'm Land.

LONDON, Aug. IA seven-column arti-
Gle written by Tolstoi appears in the
Times this morning, entitled "A Great
Inequity."
It deals with the land question and de-
clares that Russia is living through an
important time, that is destined TO have
enormous results.
The articles is largely devoted to the
theories of Henry George and declares that
the land question has now reached a state
of ripeness such as hfty years ago was
reached by the question of serfdom; that
Henry George was right, and that the re-
moval of the sin of landed property is
near, and that the George movement was
its last birth-throe.
The movement for the liberation of man
kind. says Count Tolstoi, is to be effected
by the Russian Slavonian people, who by
their spiritual and economic character are
predestined for this great universal task.
In conclusion, while maintaining that
Henry George proposed the only practic-
able peaceful solution of the problem.
Tolstoi predicts that It will be solved by
the Russian people not by imitation Of
European and American proletarianism, but
by abolishing landed property, thus show
ing the other nations the way 20 a rational,
free and happy life.

PARIS, July 31.-The activity Of the Ger

reference to the Moroccan situation is caus-
Ing grave doubts on the part Of the French
people as to Germanys good faith. Despite
the decision Of the two governments not to
interfere with the status quo until the inter-
national conference meets the Germans are
trying their utmost to extract commercial
concessions from the sultan, hoping thereby
to strengthen Germans position at the con-
ference
Inquiries in we'll informed circles, how

many is officially authorizing these efforts
to secure advantage, though differences are
likely TO arise from this action, with conse-
quent protraction Of negotiations.
Count Won Tattenbach- Ashold appears to
be fnrthering the efforts of the German
agents, which already have resulted in Sc
curing a concession for the construction Of
wharvcs, while strong efforts are being
made to obtain a cable concession and the
acceptance of a German loan. Such pro-
ceedlngs, It is believed here, do not tend to
hasten a friendly understanding, but the
approaching interview between Premier
Rouvier and Prince Won Radolin, the Ger
man ambassador to France, is expected to
result in the dispelling OF doubts and the
completion Of a satisfactory arrangement.
