AT WICHITA
More Than GOO Delegates Attend
Railway Rate Convention.
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION FORMED,
GOV. Van SAINT, Of Wisconsin,, J. A
Troutman and >. L. Brlstow
Made Speeches Recommend
Ing Legislation.

wichita, Kan, Jan. LA perma-
nent Organization was perfected here
Wednesday for the purpose Of push
Ing railway rate legislation. Resolu
,tions were adopted urging congress
to give a railway rate commission
power to control railroad rates II
was also decided to perfect organiza-
lions In every county in the state and
10 follow in the footsteps of Wisconsin
In securing state bill to control cor
porations.
The meeting was strictly non-par-
tisan and was attended by Goo dele
gates from over the state. Leading
politicians from several other states
were also at the meeting. Addresses
were made by s. r. Ven SAINT, govern
or Of Minnesota, l. L. Lenroot, speaser
OF the Wisconsin house of representa-
tiyes and candidate for governor to
succeed Senator LaFollette, and J. L.
Bristow, ex- fourth assistant post mas
ter general.
Jsmes A. Troutman, of Topeka, was
alected temporary chairman and Tho-
mas M. Potter of Peabody was chosen
permanent chairman. W. R. StuDps
Of Lawrence was chairman Of the CON-
'mittee on resolutions.
"If any member Of the Kansas dele
cation in congress-" said Mr.. Trout
man "obey the railroads instead OF the
neople by his vote, we must REMIND
him that his political star will pass IN
to an eclipse 1t is not unreasonable
that the people who have contributed
more than 100000 acres OF land ana
nearly 2 billion dollars should ask TO
have some control over these public
corporations.
1--WE have had for years a railroad
commission in the state and some re-
lief has come from it. But every one
knows that its power is limited to us
own state. 1t is said that In the past
the railroad boards of Kansas took no
action until It had mounted the state
house dome and had made a sign OF
distress toward the Santa Fe and Rock
Island general Offices and | am reliably
informed that the present board taxes

Mr.. Troutman said that is was far-
cial to say that there was competition
between the railroads when hundreds
Of thousands of miles were under the
amaIgamated control Of few men.

IT RESTS WITH JUDGE
Attorny General Hadley Files Final
Brief in New York.
DECISION AWAITED WITH INTEREST.
The Missouri Attorney Returns
Home and Expresses His Pleasure
mt Treatment Received While
in the East.

New York, Jan. 16.-Attorney Gen
eral Herbert S. Hadley, of Missouri !
declared in brief which was submit
ted to Justice Gildersleeve in the new
York state supreme court Monday that
the question Of the materially OF such
questions as he asked H. H. Rogers IN
the Standard Oil hearing in this city
is not now pending in the Missouri
suprene court. The brief was filed
in answer to a contention by Standard
oil counsel that the New York state
supreme court ought not to decide
whether Mr.. Rogers shall be compelled
to answer Mr.. Hadleys questions be-
cause practically the same question is
pending before the Missouri courts
The questions are whether the stock
Of the Standard Oil company of Indiana
the Waters-Pierce Oil company and
the Republic Oil company are held by
the same person or corporations.
Mr.. Hadley's brief was submitted by
Henry Wollman, his local counsel.
In 1t Mr.. Hadley declares, with refer
ence to the action In the case In Mis-
souri,:
'In the argument Of the question
submitted to the supreme court for de-
cision in the different briefs filed by the
attorneys for the respondent at the
time the case was argued, no conten-
ton was made that the question OF the
immateriallty Of evidence to show q
common stock ownership or a controll-
ing interest in the stock Of these three
companies was before that court for
decision. In the argument Of Frank
Hagerman, who made the opening ar
gument for respondents, not q word
was said upon this question.
I'm the argument Of the attorney
general and his assistant no such
question was discussed for the reason
that no such contention had been
made up to the time by the attorneys
for the respondent.
IF your honor is Of the opinion az
ter an examination Of the records II
this case that the question of the rele
vancy and materiality Of this testimo
ny is before the supreme court Of Mis-
souri, for decision, 1t is respectful!
