theater, changing the floors, exits and
front an dthat in 1905 he sold the

ed fixtures; later that the Peoples
Amusement company, on July 80 OF
this year. removed all the mortgaged
fixtures from the building, stored
them in another place, and rendered
possession of the place to the platnttH.
The fixtures. plaintiff alleges, were
sold to a party nemed George Clark,
and the other defendants, Baker and

Mr.. Enright, land hope that you peo-
pie up here will go ahead and adopt
that form of government for your
city. We want to see how it will work
1 think that there is a petition in cir
culation in Kansas City, Kan, asking
for a special election there, but good
many people, of whom 1 am one, be-
lieve that we should wait a while and
let Topeka try the plan. Us you have
already started your movement for
special election, and have it well un-
der way"
Mr. Enrlght would not talk about
the rumcr that he may be candidate
for the senate against Mr.. Getty
There is said to be fight brewing on
Getty, because of the fact that he did
not fine up with the senate lodge at
the last session.
While IN Topeka, Mr.. Enright called
at the office of Governor Hoch and
secured the appointment of j. o. En-
erson as justice of the peace in Qufn-
daro township. in place of E. M.
Stockton. who resigned to go into
business.

HEW TO THE LINE.
Attorney General Jackson Doesn't APP
prove Railroad Boards Action.

Attorney General F. S. Jackson de-
clares that the state board of railroad
commissioners and G. F. Grattan, its
attorney, are making a mistake when
they dodge fight with the railroad
companies on the fiat 2-cent fare
proposition.
II have not read Mr.. Grattan's
opinion to the board said Mr.. Jack
ported to me. l must say that 1 am
sorry he has taken that position. Why
should Kansas wait for other states to
fight out the 2-cent fare proposition
when we will have exactly the same
fight to make regardless of the out
come in the other states? The out
come of the suits in other states won't
decide anything for Kansas. We
might as well mark out our own line,
and hew to that line If we don't, the
railroads will fight out their cases in

do not expect any trouble from them
now. If the railroad operators should
walk out on the roads now we would
be in a ten to one better position to
other roads in this section of the coun-
try.
Although we are not expecting any
strike it would not be improbable that
seems to be at its height now as is
shown by the strike of the Associate
Press operators and anything is likely
to happen. Some of the officials of
grievance and call a strike and the con-
ditions of the railroads be somewhat
demOralized as a result.
Most of the railroads in this sec
ton of the country are employing
union operators exclusively and it will
hurt those systems the worst. Even
that fact would tend somewhat to
hinder our business as 1t would tie
up traffic at the connecting points and
we would be unable to turn our con-
signments over to the other roads. AS
far as the handling of business which
is exclusively our own is concerned
we would be in good shape. as L do
not think any considerable portion OF
our men would walk out.
THE Missouri, Kansas & Texas is
the only other road in this section of
the country which does not employ
union operators.
"a strike of the railroad operators
would bring about a worse phase of
the present trouble than any which is
yet presented as everything would be
nearly tied up. 1t would mean
serious thing for the country and we
are not anxious to see it occur. 1t
seems that both parties in the present |
strike are making a great mistake by |
not trying to get together and settle |
differences when so much is at stake. |
The railroad business is handi- |
capped enough already by the West !
ern Union strike as we have to de- |
pend upon the Western Union to |

in that line today more than at any |
