OIL REFINERY Law
Unconstitutional

Topeka, Kan, July 8.-The law
passed by the legislature last winter
appropriating $41O, 200 to build an in
dependent oil refinery at Peru has been
declared unconstitutional by the state
supreme court, in an opinion rendered
by Associate Justice Green, in which
all the members Of the court con-
CURED.
The oil refinery law was considered
one OF the most direct blows struck at
the Standard Oil Company by the last
legislature, which adopted several
measures tending to restrict that con-
Germ in the handling Of the Kansas
product.
The court holds the law in question
to be violation of the constitutional
provision that "the state shall never
be party in carrying out any works
of internal improvement"
Gov. Hoch is greatly disappointed
at the decision.
The state supreme court also rem
dered decision declaring that the
Kansas Natural Gas Company, Della
ware corporation, cannot do business
III Kansas. The decision, which is
sweeping in it's terms, makes an outlaw
of thu company, which it declares can
not hold property in Kansas and can.
not operate in any manner in the state.
The company has already spent sew
eral million dollars, it is estimated, in
laying pipe lines in Kansas. When
the company applied to the Kansas
charter board for permission to do
business in this state, the board denied
the application. However, the COM
pany went ahead laying its pipes and
contracting to deliver gas to many
cities.
After the charter board had acted,
the attorney general, IN the name of
the state, brought quo warranto pro-
ceedings against the company, asking
that it be required to show authority
for doing business in Kansas, and that
if unable to do so it be ousted from the
state.
The barred company owned a major
ity of the producing gas wells in Kan
sas and is capitalized at 100000, 900.
The court goes far enough to intimate
that the company has ousted its re.
sources at law, and says it cannot ome
into court and ask for mandatory or
der to compel the state charter board
to grant it a charter.

Official news has been received, the
Associated Press has been informed by
an authority usually reliable that the

Kniaz Potemkine, after shipping coal,

civil war had been begun against the
existing regime of Russia, and pledg-

on the part of the mutineers and stamps
the commander of the crew as leader
far above the class of the ordinary sail
or and strengthens the opinion that he
is not member Of the original crew,
but one of the revolutionaries who
went on board at Odessa.
Lends Dignity TO Rising.
The issuance of the manifesto lends
a certain dignity to the mutiny and
proves that the crew and their COM
mandsr have no desire that the world
should believe them to be mere out
laws, but that they should be looked
upon as men seriously raising the
standard of revolution.
In orioles closely in touch with the
revolutionists it is regarded as fore

the Kniaz Potemkine, knowing the sit

Poti or Batoum, where the revolution

Of producing general rising. With
the authorities in the Caucasus almost
powerless to prevent it such a contin.
