LAYS DOWN THE LAW.
Railroad Commissioners Make Order
About Clay Center Rates.

Under date of August 2S the state
board of railroad commissioners has IS
sued its recommendation to the rail-
road companies that Jobbing rates be
granted to the city of Clay Center The
recommendation is supplemented with
the order that unless the recommends
ton is compiled with, the board VIII
proceed to remove the discrimination
now existing against Clay Center in
the matter Of jobbing rates. That means
that the board will either compel the
railroads to grant jobbing rates to all
towns, or establish a distance tariff
and wipe out jobbing rates entirely.
If the beard adopts the latter course
the Kansas iObbers say that 1t will re-
suit in putting every jobbing house in
the state out Of business, because of
their inability to ship goods in competi-
ton with the Kansas City, No, whole
sale houses.
The following is the recommendation
issued by the board:
"From the evidence adduced at this
hearing the board is clearly of the opin-
ion that the city of Clay Center is
Disseminated against, in favor Of such
other cities as are now enjoying job
bers' rates. The board is also Of the
opinion that commercial conditions now
existing will warrant the establishment
of Jobbers' rates on foundry products
and brooms at Clay Center, Kan.
1.-The board therefore recommends
that within 80 days from the date here
of the companies respondent in the
above entitled action establish and
maintain jobbers' rates on foundry pro-
ducts and broons at the city of Clay
Center, Kan.
1T is the order of the board that un-
less jobbers' rates be paid in as herein
recommended, within 80 days herefrom,
that this case will be taken up and
tried upon the further issue involved,
towit: the removal of the discrimination
existing against Clay Center, by reason
of the existence Of jobbers' rates at
other towns in Kansas"

DID POOR WORK.
City Engineer Condemns Concrete
Used by Gas Company.

The concrete work done by the gas
company on Kansas avenue where the
pavement was excavated for placing
main connections has been condemned
by James McCabe, city engineer and
the concretfng viii have to be torn up
and replaced with standard work. The
repaving Of Kansas avenue will proba-
bly, be delayed further on this account.
Thus far four blocks of the work has
been condemned with a possibility that
additional condemnation viii have to
be resorted to. The lack of sufficient
cement and of an inferior grade at that
is the cause for the condemnation.
They used Fort Scott cement" said
the city engineer. They had q carload
Of it on hand, shipped here, and begged
me at the time for permission to put
some of it in for test. It has proved
what I thought it would be, not up to
the standard.
THE gas company used it on lower
Kansas avenue and I had TO condemn
all of the coucretfng from Third to
Crane streets this morning. The gas
company viii have to tear all this UP.
they are now tearing that up between
Crane and First streets and replacing
it. using lola Portland cement I don't
know whether I shall have to condemn
any more concrete or not, though
think not, for lola cement was used
on the remaining part of the work
1t is probable that this will delay the
paving"

the case.

the Kansas City Southern that the
proposed crossing of the Kansas City
Belt was for the purpose of building a
sidetrack to the plant of the Schwartz

be of no value to the public It seems
to be a case where the Kansas City

AFTER HIS SCALP.


A J. Hunt. c. N Hunt. Frank J. Hess
and w. H. Nelson comprise a delegation
from Arkansas City which called upon
Attorney General c. C. Coleman today,
and asked him to remove from Office
John Marshall. who was appointed as
sistant attorney general for Cowley
county about six weeks ago.
The appointment of Marshall was
made over the strenuous objection of a
large number of the leading politicians
of Cowley county, and has resulted in
a great deal of bitterness. The culni-
nations of this seems to have been the
attempt to assassinate J. S. Hines, one
of the people who was instrumental in
bringing about MarshalFs appointment.
When asked today for a statement
concerning the result of his conference
with the Arkansas iCty people, General
Coleman said:
These gentlemen presented their
case to me, and the substance of it is
that they want Marshall removed.

care to discuss the case at all at the
