ROSE PAYS Sl,562.64.
Settles With the Supreme Court for
His Alleged Contempt.

W. ". Rose. former mayor of Kansas
City. Kan, who was ousted from office by
G. G. Coleman, the attorney general, be-
cause of his failure to enforce the pro-
hibitory law in that city and also his con-
nivance at its violation. has purged him
self finally from contempt of the supreme
court of the state.
Mr.. Rose was fined $1,000 for contempt
for again assuming the Office of mayor at
ter he had been ousted from it. The
United States supreme court affirmed the
decision. Not long ago he wrote letter to
the judges of the court, asking that this
fine be RENTED, the ground that he
did not mean to show contempt Cor the
court in any of his actions and that all OF
them had been taken on the advice Of
good lawyers" Attorney General Cole
man protested against the fine being re-
mitted and the court refused Mr.. Roses
request
Del Valentine, the clerk Of the court, re
ceiNed today by mail a check from Mr.
Rose, paying his fine for contempt and
also the costs of the actions, which We're
charged against him. These costs amount
ed to 1852. 81. and the amount of the line
therefore brought the sum he had to pay
TO the state up to S1,56z.64, and the check
was for this amount
Mr.. Rose had number Of lawyers on
his staff looking after his interests in the
various proceedings against him, so It IS
likely that the expense of the whole al
fair was several thousand dollars

Silly and ShOrtsighted.

an income tax Mr.. Busch said:
If there were not so many stingy
ich men in the United States every
man with decent income would be
paying his fair proportion of govern
ment taxes.
"A man with money is so fortunate
that I believe he should be respectfully
liberal. [ have always wondered why
it is that those of US who have so much
of this worlds goods still want to get
more and more still. and never share
our prosperity With others.
Now. I don't want to decry men for

call thrift. We can't have too much of

STATES BRIEF FILED.
Contends That International Harvester
Suit should Not Be Quashed.

G. c. Coleman, the attorney general.
and Fred. S. Jackson, his assistant.
have fled a brief in the district court
of Shawnee county opposing the mo-
ton which is pending. before Judge
Dana there for quashing of the Grim
inal proceedings the state brought
against the International Harvester
company OF America for a violation of
the antitrust laws of the state. This
proceeding has as its ultimate object
the f1ning of this corporation for its
disregard for the laws of Kansas.
In their brief opposing the motion of
the Harvester com pany to annul the
proceedings. the states legal repre-
sentatives say, among other things:
The defendant says ne provision to
notify the corporation informed
against or to compel its attendance has
been made by statute. The law pro-
vldes where no provision has been
made, the common law must be fol-
lowed. The common law method has
been strictly pursued in this case. This
ought to end the controversy. But the
defendant says that this method Of
sunlmoning a corporation to court
must be Illegal because our statute
provides. that in all trials where the
OffenSe charged is a misdemeanor. the
defendant must be present either In
person or by counsel, and that there
fore the court Is DOWerless in this case
to render a default Judgment. But is
there not time slough to cross this
bearing. upon the question raised by
this motion. This motion is a special
appearance to test the validity of the
initial process in the suit. The court
has 70 right to presume that no coun-
sci representing the defendant will be
present when the case comes to trial
Eminent counsel for the defendant
have attended and watched every step
IN the proceedings so far, and even to
the preliminary investigation preced-
ing the commencement of the suit BY
what token must the court now as
so suddenly about to give up the
ship p Why if they had the courage
of their seeming convictions, did they
come into the suit at all? If the SER
vice is wholly without authority of
law, it is void and a judgment rem
dered thereon could do them or their
client no possible harm. Is their ap-
peaFance merely ex -grata or is it for
the purpose of securing the state from
another mistake of this sort?
But are counsel right in this con-
tention that no trial can be had in the
absence of the defendant or his coun-
sell? The authorities cited in the oral
argument show conclusively that judg-
ment may be rendered by default in
such cases. at common law. The ONLY
answer presented to these authorities
by the defendant is that the statute
referred to directly and positively for
bids default judgment
But the statute is only decIaratory
of the common law rule on this sub
ject. Il takes nothing away from and
adds nothing to the common law O,
the law as it existed at the time of the
adoption of the constitution and the
admission of the state into the Union.
The constitution requires only that the
defendant be allowed to appear and
defend In person or by counsel

SETTLEMENT NOT FINAL
General Coleman Says That Grimes
Shortage Can Be Further Investigated.

c. c. Coleman, the attorney general,
says that the adjustment of the differ
ences between the state and Frank
Grimes. the ex-state treasurer, was not
a final settlement of the case Re said
that the case could be reopened by the
next attorney general or by the legisla-
ture
''Mr. Crimes" said the attorney gen
eral, merely paid into the treasury
the money which 1 believed to be due
the state as a result of the investiga-
ton. He paid all that believed could
be collected from him. but did not
attempt to assume the authority to re-
lease him from further obligation when
he paid what I demanded into the
treasury There was been no compro-
mise Of his case If the legislature
wants to try to collect more money
from Grimes that can be done or If
my successor, Mr.. Jackson, wants to
bring suit to collect more money there
is nothing an the terms Of the settle
ment I made to prevent such action
do not expect any further proceedings,
because i believe Mr.. Grimes has paid
all that any judge or jury would exact
