WILL FILE a FORMAL MOTION.
But Arkansas River Suit Won't Be
Pressed.

At conference of attorneys inter
ested in the defense of the Kansas
side of the Arkansas river lawsuit with
Colorado held at the office of Attorney
General Jackson Tuesday afternoon, it
was decided to file with the United
States supreme court a motion for a
rehearing in this famous case.
This motion must be filed before Oc-
tober u, and it will doubtless be a
mere formal matter, and will not be
seriously pressed. The object IS simply
to save all the rights which the state
of Kansas has under the decision of the
court.
Those present at the conference were
Fred Dumont Smith of Kinsley. n. H
Loomis of Topeka, and Attorney Gen
eral F. S. Jackson.
S. S. Ashbaugh, the attorney who was
associated with Smith and LOOMS In
the trial of the case is in Washington,
but wrote a letter discouraging any
further attempt to fight the case
1t is understood that the attorneys
for Kansas received a straight tip that
the decision of the supreme court en-
dangered the validity of the reclama-
ton act from which Kansas hopes to
derive much benefit, and that for this
reason it is unwise to press the Arkan-
sas river case any further.

MRS. THOMAS IN SUIT
Brings Action for Dover Rights in
Devlin Property.

The fight to secure the property in
Kansas City of the Kansas City Coal
& Coke company, which is one of the
most valuable interests remaining to
the trustees of the Devlin estate, has
been still further complicated by a suit
which has been brought in the circuit
court at Kansas City, Mo-. by Mrs.
Kate s. Thomas of Leavenworth. Mr..
Thomas was business partner of c..
J. Devlin. Mrs. Thomas brings suit to
preserve her dover rights in the pro-
perty which is worth about $500 900.
The laws of Missouri give the wife
dover interest of one-third in the hus-
bands property and it is this interest
which Mrs. Thomas is seeking to pro-
tect. The suit was filed against Will
lam S. Wood, trustee in bankruptcy of
the Kansas City Coal & Coke COM

the Devlin estate.
Two hundred shares of the Central
National bank of Topeka were sold at
auction yesterday to Kessler & Co.,
who held the stock as collateral secur-
ity for a note given them by c. J..
Devlin. The stock was sold for $4,000.
The 200 shares represent but 120 shares
since the capital stock has been re-
duced from $3.50, 900 to $3.50, 600 and every
holding was scaled down proportionate-
ly. The sale of the stock was a mere
formality to clear the title to it and
was made under order of the special
referee in bankruptcy.

The New Union Is but few months

year. Il has rapidly become popular
among owners in the eastern section OF
the city who were more than anxious
