Santa Fe Oil Suit Is Near a
Settlement.
Conference for This Purpose in
Kansas City.
BOTH SIDES THERE.
Prominent Oil Men and AttOr-
neys Present.
Senator Smith Says Santa Fe
Held Out Olive Branch.
VIII Drop Suit If Discrimination
Is Stopped.

Kansas City, Mo-. April THE
Star says:
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway has made overtures for an
smicable settlement of the differences
between it and the oil producers in
the Kansas oil field. A conference
between freight traffic officials of the
Santa Fe and committee represent
ing the producers was begun here to-
day Should an agreement be reached
at this conference, the suit now pend
ing against the Santa Fe for alleged
conspiracy for the oil producers in
the matter of freight rates will be
dismissed. This suit was instituted by
the attorney general of Kansas and
was based on the allegation that the
Santa Fe had advanced rates on oil
Immediately following the completion
of the Standard Oil pipe line from
Kansas City to the Kansas oil fields.
The taking of testimony has been go
ing on for two weeks 1t was termi-
mated last week, the attorneys for the
oil producers said, SO that the testi-
mony taken might be transcribed.
J. E. German, freight traffic man
ager, and J. R. K0ontz, general freight
agent of the Santa Fe, are the Santa
Fe railroad officials present at the
conference. The oil producers were
represented by the official committee
of the organization of the Kansas oil
producers, and among those present
were J. H Crawford, William E.
Connolly, Charles e. Martin, Chanute;
H. E. West, president of the Kansas
Oil Producers association, of Peru;
J. M. Parker, secretary of the asso-
citation, independence; F. DumOnt
Smith, state senator from Kinsley; j.
o. Fife, S. G. Warner, George Canter-
bury, A. NJ Clark, Kansas City, Kas.,
and W. S. Fitzpatrick, of Sedan, state
senator from ClaEtaHqua county.
All the members of the oil pro-
ducers committee have been taking an
active part in the crusade against the
Standard Oil company and the Santa
F'e railway.
'"The Santa F'e has heIe out the olive
branch" said Senator Smith. ''They
asked for this conference and we are
here for the purpose of getting at an
agreement if possible. We want the
railways that enter the Kansas oil
fields to treat US fairly in the matter
of freight rates. We have the oil and
! if the railroads viii give us the right
kind of rates we can find market for
the oil. OF course if this conference
reaches a. conclusion satisfactory tc
the oil producers The prosecution of
the case against the Santa F'e may be
dropped. The purpose of the prosecu-
ton is to convict the company of con-
spiracy against the oil producers in
the putting in of discriminating freight
rates. If these rates are removed the
cause of the prosecution is done away
with
I'VE do not care to talk about the
conference until we have reached
some sort of conclusion" said J. H
/ Crawford. "All that I can say now is
that I hope the conference will be i'm
! portant in results accomplished.

1t VIII be remem bered that Mr..
Kelly made arrangements with some
of the county treasurers of the state
to keep out their taxes from the state
treasury a year ago, SO that the gen
eral revenue fund would not show up
so large. For that reason the figures
for the first half of 1904 should be
several hundred thousand dollars more
than appears in the above showing
Until this last fall the general rev.
enue fund has usually run short dur
ing the last three months of the year,
and warrants have been carried as
not paid for want of funds. This
has been done to keep a million Of
dollars or so from piling up in the
state treasury unused. 1t has been
figured that it IS better to have this
deficit three months IN the year than
to have such a large amount of uh-
used funds in the treasury during the
other nine months, but the extra
taxes raised during the last half of
1903 and the first half of 1904 caused
the general revenue fund to pile up
The general revenue fund is only
one of the funds that the state treas
,urer has in his possession There are
many others. but none as large as this.
It is probable, however, that the state
treasurer now has on hand in cash
and in the banks not less than one
and a half million dollars.

Price of state Binding Twine to Con-
tinue at Cents.

Warden Jewett announces that
while the price of sisal is little high
er this year than it was last. the price
charged for state binding twine will be
no more and it may be little less
than last year.
The exact price will not be fixed un-
til next Tuesday, but Mr.. Jewett says
it will probably be between and 8
cents a pound. Last year it was 8
cents IN lots of 5000 pounds or more,
and 95k cents in smaller lots.
The output of the Denitentiary twlne
r,1ant for fl7is season will be about two
and quarter million pounds, as
against two million pounds for last
season. This is about one-hfth the
an7ornt used by the farmers of the
state in an ordinary year, but it is
SUFFICIENT to compel the trust to keep
down the price of twine. Before the
penitentiary plant was established the
trust charged IA cents a pound for

caused the defeat of this measure.

influence was abroad he at first declined to
