What the Kansas State ReflDeT y
May Do.

The Kansas state oil refinery will
handle $1,000 barrels OF oil daily; the
field can produce $4,000 barrels. Sew
eral independent re6nerieS are in
prospect, but not nearly enough to
handle the entire output. What, then,
is to be the benefit?
The Standard has partially resumed
buying in the Kansas field, and is like
ly to reach It's former purchases soon.
rhe comparatively small purchases OF
the state refinery cannot materially
raise the price of crude oil. lts out
put cannot reduce the price to con-
SumerS generally, though it will do so
in communities reached. But this IL
will do: it will demonstrate TO the
world the exact cost OF refining oil; 1t
will publish the profits brOadcast,-
something independent re6ne-les,
with the Standard limiting even the
amount Of crude oil they might have,
could not do: IL will encourage indie
pendent establishments, and these
may, under the new statutes, be as.
sured Uf fair transportation rates. IL
the Standard pays too high price for
oil, or uuderSellS with the rein, d pro-
duct, the state may shut dow n its
plant, confident that IL is giving the
people ample return, In Two years
tie legislature will meet again, and
imperlections Ia the statutes and
plans will then be corrected.
Kansas is In earnest; IL means to
win this battle. 1t is a business
proposition primarily; but in the pres
ent state Of public sentiment it also
involves a principle. 1t has already
awakened nationwide sentiment; 1t
may be The definite Starting-polnt OF
victory for fair play that will mark
a new era In government. Kansas
will Try hard TO achieve such an out
come from It's undertaking. Its peo-
pie are willing TO spend $4,000 to
lind out what can be done. Not all
approve the states entrance On bust
ness enterprise, but the sentiment for
fighting out the battle TO the end,
now that it has begun, is practically
unanimous From "KanSas' Battle
for its Oil Interests" by Charles
Moreau Harger, in the American
Monthly Review of Reviews for April.

cALCHAs NOT A PRIZE.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 20.-The Su-
perior Admiralty Court has decided the
appealsin the case of the British steam
ship Calchas Captured by the vladivos
tok squadron), overruling Admiral Jes-
sens protest against the decision of the
Vladivostok court ordering her release
Admiral Jessen contended that the
steamship was subject to confiscatior
on the ground that she carried Japan
ese dispatches. At the same time the
Superior Court decided that the deten-
ton of the Calchass was legal. thus bar
ring any claim for damages on the
ground of illegal detention.
Following the precedent set in the
case. of the German steamship Arabia
ktconfiscated by the vladivostok prize
court), which recognized the American
doctrine that foodstuffs are conditional
contraband, the court ordered the re-
lease of 350,000 pounds Of -four, in
which Americans principally residing
on the Pacific Coast are interested, and
sustained the conhscation of thirty-six
bales Of cotton, the latter decision be-
ing rejection Of Secretary Hays con-
tention for broadening the list Of con-
traband so as to include all articles Of
dual use. The V1adivostok prize court
has not yet passed upon the machinery
on board the Calchas.

Urgent Appeal for Aid

HONOLULU, May 2O.-Havvaiian MIL
itia has been hurried to the island of
Maui to suppress n band of 1900 Jap-
auese, who are reported to be rioting
and destroying property. News from
the island is andously awaited, as the
Japanese are said to be In a mood to
give battle to the soldiers.
The Japanese, who were employed
on the La Hama plantation on Maui,
struck last night because their demand
for the. removal of the overseers was
refused by Manager Louis Barkhausen.
The brown laborers Immediately began
l-rioting and so threatening did the SIT
uation become that Deputy Shefiff
Baldwin sent an urgent appeal By
wireless telegraphy for help to High
Sheriff Henry in this city. High Shef-
IN Henry directed that Deputy Bald
win should swear in a posse of citizens
and maintain order at all costs.
Without awaiting instructions from
Colonel Jones in Honolulu. forty men
of the National guard under Captain
Bal, stationed at Wailuku, started for
La Hama this morning.
Colonel Jones, Governor Carter and
High Sheriff Henry held a conference
this afternoon to discuss the situation
- was ueOiuSu tndt large force OF
militia should be sent from here un-
less order were Immediately restored
The troops are held in readiness to
move, pending a report from Deputy
Sheriff Baldwin.
The authorities are determined to
teach the Japanese laborers a lesson.
and the leaders in the rioting will be
arrested and relentlessly prosecuted.
Strikes on the great plantations in the
Hawaiian group are becoming of too
frequent occurrence, the Japanese
quitting thir posts upon the slightest
provocation and at once resorting to
terrorist methods to compel compli-
ance with their demands
