GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
Express Companies Granted Rehear-
ing by the Supreme Court.

The Kansas supreme court today
granted a rehearing for George W.
Jones in the express company license
case which was decided BY the court
on June in favor of the city Of To-
peka.
The case will be reargued before the
court at the October session. Mean
time the express companies will not
have to pay the 500 per year license
fee imposed upon them by ordinance
of the city of Topeka.

panies, refused TO pay the 500 a year

preme court, by a vote of to 2, sus-
tanned the district court. The opinion
in the case, handed down on June g,

justices Porter, Graves and Mason
coneurred, and Chief Justice Johnston
and Justice Burch joined in a dissent.
The opinion said:
1T is just and equitable that the ex-
press agency in question should, with
many other avocations, bear some por-
ton of the municipal expenses which
are incurred for their benefit as well
as for the benefit of the property OWL
eTs. and It is not equitable that such
expenses should be borne by the prop
erty owners alone"
The dissenting opinion says:
Authority to tax this business must
be found in the statute or It does not
exist. and the authority granted must
be as extensive as the ordinance pro-
viding for the tax or the ordinance is
invalid. The statute provides for a tax
upon those businesses only which are
conducted within the limits OF the
city If the first and last acts inner
emily necessary to be performed in the
carriage of a parcel or express matter
occur in different cities. the transac-
ton is not a transaction occurring
within the limits of either one" The
dissenting opinion is written by Judge

DANA MADE THEM ONE.
strong City Bride Wanted the Event
Kept a Secret

A sssub-rosa" wedding was solcmnized
at the court house late Friday evening,
when Judge Dana united E J. Graft,
Of Topeka, and May Maloney of Strong
City. The groom was not particularly
anxious for the marriage to become
public news, because of the family of
the bride, who objected to anything OF
the kind.
E. ]. Craft is a marble artist in one
of the local tombstone studios and has
no particular religious convictions. Miss
Maloney is a Catholic. and member
Of a Catholic family which forbid her
to join heart and hand with MI Craft
Both being OF legal age. they decided
to settle the question for themselves,
and without the aid of the Maloney
family. Therefore Miss Maloney came
to Topeka on some pretext, met her
f1ance and with him adjourned to the
court house, where a license was pro-
cured. Judge Hayden being absent, the
clerk informed them that a minister
could be secured to perform the cere-
mony.

JUNE PIPE LINE RUNS.
Daily Average Higher In the OH Dis
trict Than in May.

independence. July THE pipe line
runs for the month Of June were not
so bad after all. In fact the daily
average in June was higher than IN
May. The runs in May averaged S.
191-64 barrels a day.
The total runs for the month of
June were 168S.432.96 barrels, while
in May they were 1.741.94O.92 barrels.
Thus the paradox is presented of the
total in June being smaller while the
average was larger. This is accounted
for as it is about three times a year by
a shorter month.
The deliveries were lower in June by
several thousand barrels a day. This is
accounted for by the accident to the
Neodesha pumping station. The deliv-
cries in June aggregated 642, 40
barrels. or 21,404.2S. barrels a day,
while in May they were 25,898 barrels
a day.
This means that the amount of oil
placed ia storage was increased in
June In May 939,102.75 barrels, or
3O,293.64 barrels a day was stored.
In June this was increased to 1,046,-
304.47 barrels. or 34S76.82 barrels a
day was put in tank.

JOlNTISTS STRIKE.
saIOonists Object to Girard Council
Raising Their Fines.

Girard, July 1.-THE city council has
decided to raise the fines of the joint
lists from $50 to 500 per month. This
action was taken at the regular meet
ing of the council and the new ordi-
nance was passed by a vote of four to
two. Councilmen Gregg. Barker
Shidler and Thurston voted for it.
while Councilmen Hooper and Magic
voted against the increase.
There are five joints in Girard and
they have been paying $50 per month
license The action in raising the fines
or license to 500 per month makes
their license fee $50 higher than any
where else in the county. The saloon
men declare they win refuse to pay,
and it is probable that they will shut

their places and engage in Bookkeeping

Purchase of Land for santa Fe shops
just Matter of Form.


Hard work, because it was necessarily
hurried on the part of the committee
of ten appointed by the Commercial club
to solicit subscriptions to the amount
of $2,25o for the purpose of making up
the difference between W. W. Webb and
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
way company over the purchase price
of nine acres of land which is desired
by the company for the erection of new
car repair shops here. resulted in rails
ing the necessary amount yesterday al
ternoon, and ST more than was neces-
sary The raising of this money means
that these new shops Will be built here
and not built in Argentine where they
would have been had the company been
una BILE to purchase the nine acres in
question at q price which was 81, $50 less
than Mr. Webb would take for the land.
This committee was appointed at
meeting on Tuesday evening. Naturally
they could not do much work on the
Fourth and as they thought il best to
have this money on hand by Friday
when Mr.. Storey. chief engineer Of the
Santa Fe, said decision would be
reached to move the shops to Argentine
If the land could not be secured st the
price offered by the company, they only
had two days to work in to raise the
money and their efforts were more than
successful.
Mr. Storey. who with James E. Hur-
ley, general manager Of the Santa Fe,
is out on tour of inspection of the
conpany's lines in the southwest viii
not be in his offices here until Thursday
of next week and as he was called away
rather unexpectedly the first part of
this week it is likely that he did not
determine the matter finally yesterday
as he expected to do If he had been in
town.
But c. K. Holiday. president of the
Commercial club. telegraphed Mr..
Storey yesterday afternoon that the
Commercial club had raised the dir
ference between his figures for the land
and those of Mr.. Webb. and while the
Santa Fe did not ask for any aid in
the purchase of this land. it will UNI
people of Topeka to help pay for this
land and as stated the raising of this
money means that beyond a question of
a doubt the new car repair shops OF
the company Will be built here togeth-
er with the other extensive improve
ments which have been planned for the
enlargement of the local shops.
Subscriptions secured by the commit
tee yesterday afternoon in addition to
