FIX UP THE WEAK SPOTS.
Attorney General Coleman's Recon-
mendations About Anti Trust Law.

Attorney General c. C. Coleman's
biennial report to the governor on the
work of his department contains "a
good many important recommends
tons for amendment in the antitrust
laws, which General Coleman says are
at present weak in several spots. He
also recommends that the legislature
take steps to secure the cancellation
of fraudulent land titles in western
Kansas, where land has grabbed" by
fraud and representation.
General Coleman states that his de-
partment has collected $4,000 in
charter fees from foreign corpora
tons, and that he has suits pending
against the western Union and Pull
nun companies which, if successful,
will bring in $4,000 more.
Speaking of the A A. GODDARD deal,
General Coleman says in his letter:
Upon the coming in of the report
of the special accountants, Messrs.
Haskins & Sells, elsewhere referred to
in this report it appeared that in the
purchase of the refunding bonds of
Comanche county from Mr.. GODDARD
the school fund commission had made
a payment to him on account of &C
crued interest larger by $257.80 than it
should have been. This arose from
the fact that without the knowledge
of the state school fund commission,
but after the purchase had been or
dered, the bonds were paid for from
the state treasury eleven days before
they were actually delivered sgto the
state and warrants issued in payments
therefor. 1 Immediately requested Mr..
GODDARD to refund the amount to the
treasury, which was promptly done by
him with interest from the date of its
receipt
With reference to the Grimes mat
ter, Mr.. Coleman says:
Upon the presentation to you of the
report of Messrs. Haskins & Sells,
mentioned elsewhere herein, after
having given the report and all pos
sible collateral facts the fullest
analysis. 1 reached the conclusion as to
the liability of Mr.. Grimes to the state
as ex-trea surer as stated in this report
under the head of the treasury inves-
tigation. In pursuance of his often
publicly stated purpose, Mr.. Grimes
has made payment of the amount of
the liability without suit. The con-
clusion as to the amount due was
reached early in September of the
present year. but Mr.. Grimes request,
in view of his we'll understood attitude
toward the liability. and to afford him.
further opportunity to prepare to
make the payment without serious in
jury to himself, I forebore actual en-
forcement of payment until December.
II, 1906, at which time the full sum.
of $9,3S1.25 was paid to me by Mr..
Grimes and forthwith deposited in the
treasury to the proper account

SAFETY
McCanna Man Has Narrow Es.
cape From Cremation-Big
Property Loss.

When the lantern which he was
using exploded at the bottom of a
wheat pit. in which he himself was
working. H. H. Wallace, agent of the
st. Anthony elevator at McCanna,
found himself in very bad position.
However, In some manner or other,
just how Mr.. Wallace himself cannot
explain. he managed to reach the top
OF the bin and Chamber to safety. BY
the time he reached the upper por-
ton Of the wheat receptacle, the low
er portion of it was seething fur
mace. the oil from the lantern spread
ing the fire in every direction.
The explosion OF the lantern result
ed in a financial loss of about SIG, 600.
Before the flames had been subdued,
two elevators, the Great Northern de-
pot and the residence and barn of
II. H. Wallace were destroyed.
Information was received by the
Evening Times late in the afternoon
OF the fire, but on account of the fact
that 1t was impossible to secure veri-
fication of the story. the matter was
omitted.
The fire occurred at about 12:45
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The
wires burned out early, and it was
impossible to secure any information
en- the fire until late in the after
noon. The losses sustained are as
follows:
St. Anthony elevator. building,
$500.
Grain in elevator, $4,000 bushels of
wheat and small quantity of fax,
$4,000.
Imperial elevator. not running,
$4,000.
Residence and barn of H. H. Wal
lace. $3.50.
Great Northern depot, $4,000.
The fire spread rapidly, and the
citizens had hard job fighting the
blaze. Several times it seemed that
the entire town must go, but the vail
ant work of the people resulted in
keeping the fire down considerably.
There was insurance on the H. H.
Wallace buildings and on the St. An
thOny elevator.
