STILL CHEW THE RAG
ABOUT Holman ST.
Owners of Property Facing
Disputed Highway Not
Yet Reconciled.

The matter OF widening South Hoh-
man street is still worrying the people
IN Homewood. Some Of them are Bit
terly opposed to the Improvement and
others think the widening of the street
would be good thing, but they all
want to know whether they are TO be
compensated for the damages TO their
property as result OF the change.
In many cases the city engineer.
when asked where South Holman
street walks should be placed. indicat-
ed that they should be put on the curb.
If this is carried out, 1000 feet of
walks will have to be torn up and new
ones put in their places.
Property owners also say that the
matter was taken up by the board of
public works and settled definitely sew
eral years ago and that. believing the
matter had been settled for all time,
many of them put in permanent i'm
provements. such as walks and trees
which they now find they will have to
move.
Doubts City's Right.
A lawyer who owns property in
South Holman street said yesterday
"As long as the owners of real estate
in South Holman street have been suf-
fered to hold the strip belonging TO
the city this long and have not been
given notice of the city's intention to
make use of the whole width of the
street, l do not believe they can com
pei the widening of the street unless
they pay damages where the moving Of
walks and other improvements is ne
cessary."
1t is said to be the purpose of Mayor
Becker. who seems to be the moving
spirit in the effort to widen the street
to condemn a twenty-five foot strip
along the west side of the street south
Of Detroit street on what is known as
the Zachau property. In this way the
widened Holman street would extend
all the way to the cemetery road.
No one seems to doubt that the
project would be a worthy one if it
could be carried out without injury to
some property owners

points on the system with the excep-
lion of Texas stations. By the

Of fare away, while the price to st.
Louis Is $10.95.
Similar schedules are expected by
the agents of the Rock Island and
the Frisco and the same schedule is
being prepared by the officials OF the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road. and probably will be wired TO all
agents of the system by tomorrow

Burns had the best of the first round,

There was not punch left in him

MORE MEN LET OUT.
Iron Mountain and Other Southwest
ern Lines Reduce Force.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 3.-The St.
Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern
railway Is laying off a large number
of it's shop employees at Little Rock
and a similar course is being pursued
by other Southwestern lines. A prom
inent official, in discussing the policy
Of retrenchment, said:
Measures due to enforced economy
should not be misconstrued nor mag
nified beyond their real Importance.
Neither should they give occasion for
alarm. All roads always cut down
forces at this season of the year, the
only difference at this time being that
the number dispensed with is prob
ably greater than customary. Every
thing will, in consequence. ease up
and real benefits will later accrue
from this condition. .-a
Gas soon as the usual season Of ac-
tivity arrives, I confidently believe
that all sign of financial stress will
have disappeared. and there will be
no lack of employment for an army OF
men, who in the meantime will have
to live close to the cushion
This whole matter is simply one or
practical business methods. The sit
uatfon, so far as traffic is concerned.
affords no occasion to worry on the
score of scarcity. We are going to
catch up and clean up, and in the end
will be in good shape to expeditiously
handle the bigger volume Of business
that will come"

Atchison Dec 3.-The Globe says:
Announcement has been made or the

postponement is probably permanent
as a serious disagreement arose pelween
the two, and Mr.. Butcher leIt TINS

said the unfortunate difference grew
out of a quarrel which any Two youHs

Young ladies, and she has always been
very popular George Butcher Is an
Atchison boy. For the last lew years
he has been out on the coast, Where ne
has been very successful Wnen the
engagement of the two was announced
last May, the remark was often heard
that thew were an ideal match. The
wedding was to have taken place TINS
week. Miss Uhrich has been lavlshiy
entertained. and during the last two
weeks as many as eight parties were
given in her honor. Friday nlghp
Burnes Uhrich entertained with de-
lightful reception and dance IN honor
of his sister and her f1ance, ana IL
was eenerally understood that the we'd
ding was to take place shortly aiter
this event, although the date or the
wedding was never detn1tely an

that the wedding has been postponeu;

WICHITA MAKES A PROTEST.
Ball Fans Want Leavenworth Dropped
for Enid.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. 3.-wichita fans
are expressing a desire for the admit
lance of Enid, Ok, into the Western
Association circuit the coming season,
and when the matter is looked into, 1t
seems that there is nothing TO prevent
that town from being made a part OF
the Shively league.
Leavenworth, of course, wants a team
in that town again, but Wichita fans
point out the fact that Leavenworth
has never been able to give more than
the guarantee to any team since the
club has been in professional baseball.
AS far as can be remembered the
Leavenworth management has never
paid more than the guarantee to
visiting club. which will not pay ex-
penses. President Rohr Is acknowledge
ed to1be fine man. He has been to-
Leavenworth baseball what Arthur
Pauline has been to Wichita, but If is
considered an injustice to the other
seven clubs of the Western Association
for him to impose a Leavenworth club
upon the patrons of Shively's league for
another season.
Enid is a prosperous, baseball crazy
town, and will make another Hutch
inson" for this league. If Enid does
not succeed in getting into the circuit.
Wichita fans will be disappointed.

greater than for any winter since Har-

WANTS LAW IMPROVED.
1,opanarte Thinks That There Are Too
Many Opportunities for Delay.

washington, Dec. Sin his annual
report to congress, Attorney General
Bonaparte specifically RETAINED from
making any recommendations or sus-
zestions as to changes Of substance in
the antitrust or interstate commerce
laws, stating that such Recommendation
would involve considerations of general
policy lying beyond the appropriate
field of duty of the department of JUS
tice, his view of the function of the de-
partment being that it is only to secure
the effectual and impartial enforcement
Of existing laws. He does. however. sug-
eest certain changes as to form. he
calls attention to the enormous delay
EXPENSE and trouble involved In fur
nishing legal proof of facts ,,, Which are are
merely formally denied to compel the
production of such proof. The attorney
general recommends the enactment OF
Statute which will give the process OF
the courts engaged in trying civil cases
under the laws named the same scope
in securing the attendance OF witnesses
as is permitted by existing law WIN re-
gard to process in criminal cases Tor the
same purpose.

SOUTHERN GROWING RAPIDLY.
Since Advent of Hartman Road Has
Made Big Strides.

Kansas City. Mo-, Dec. SIT has
been no secret here that the Kansas
CITY Southern railroad is the best
paying railroad in the country in pro-
portion to it's mileage and the extent
of its business.
A strong showing has been made in
net earnings and in reduced cost of
operation since the company was
freed from the Hartman control two
years ago. By reason of better ser
vice traffic has improved and there
has been an almost phenomenal in
crease in freight and passenger earn
ings. It has been generally known
that the company was doing a re-
markable business and that 1t would
pay a dividend of per cent on both
the preferred and the common stock.
despite the fact that the road is cap
ftalized for more than 100000 mile.
as compared with 100000 a mile for
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad.
A. E. Stilwell. who built the rail-
road and afterwards lost control of it,
has frequently stated that its earn
ings recently were larger per mile
than any other road entering Kansas
City.
