POLLOCK WON'T SAY.
May Decide to Move Headquarters to
Kansas City.

Judge John C. Pollock of the United
tanned his residence in Topeka ever
some four years ago refused to either

''That is something that I Will have
to determine" said he. "It has been

that. 1t might be sooner than that
and yet again 1t might not"
Judge Pollock has maintained his
legal residence at Winfield. KAN, his
old home, going there to vote on cleo
ton days.
OF late the business of the courts
at Kansas City, Kan, has increased
to such a pronounced extent that it
has given to rise to stories of the re-
moval of the clerkships of the circuit
and district courts to that place. Nor
ton Albaugh is clerk of the United
States district court and George F.
Sharitt is clerk Of the United States
circuit court. 1t is claimed that
should Judge Pollock move to Kansas
City, Kan. that it would result
eventually In the clerks of both courts
moving to the same place. This would
leave Topeka a very unimportant city
as far as these courts are concerned
and cause attorneys who otherwise
come to Topeka to go to the city at

RAISE SPEED LIMIT.
Automobile Owners Want Faster Rate
on Kansas Avenue.

To five automobile owners has been
given the work of redrafting new
automobile ordinance or rather re-
vision which will guard against speed
violations and resulting accidents.
The streets and walks committee of
the council had the matter under con-
sideration last evening but finally turn
ed over the whole matter to the follow
ing automobile owners: Dr. Anton
Smith, D. L. Martin, c. E. Jewell, DIR.
Lyman and William Taylor.
1t is claimed that the present provis-
ion of the ordinance which provides
that no automobile may be driven to
exceed ten miles an hour on Kansas
avenue is too low and that it should be
raised to from II to Is miles per hour
as many automobiles cannot be run at
a rate of 10 miles per hour on account
of being high geared. The other mini
mum speed provisions It is stated are
all right
The result of the deliberations of the
automobile owners will be made known
to the council
The committee on streets and walks
also recommended in favor of the Gre
alton of a benefit district for the open
ing of Grove avenue from Elmwood to
The Drive in Auburndale. This will
Immediately open up the fight that has
been waging for and against for the

for trouble. The troops have care

taken a very determined stand and
given their ultimatum that they will
never again employ a member of the

that they will operate their mines
with non-union labor and although
they have not yet done so to any ex-
tent, believe there will be serious
trouble IL they start to import nom

COMPLETE EDDY ARGUMENTS.
Court Takes Entire Question Under
Amusement.

Concord, N. H., May 25.-Argu-
ments were completed in the Merri-
mack county superior court yesterday
on the motion of the trustees of the
estate of Mary Baker G. Eddy, head
of the Christian Science church. to
intervene and be substituted as plain
tiffs in the suit brought by her son,
George w. Glover, and others, to
compel an accounting of her proper
ty. Judge r. N. Chamberlain, the
presiding justice, issued an order
that all affidavits and citations in the
case be filed by next Tuesday, and
his decision on the motion will be
given later.
During the closing argument of
General Streeter, Judge Chamberlain
interjected several questions. He
asked how the question of Mrs.
Eddy's competency could be deter
mined without a trial and remarked
later that it seemed strange propo-
sit.on to him that the court should
determine the question involved with
out a trial. Mr.. Streeter in reply
said the Judge could determine the
question of Mrs. Eddy's competency
by visit to her and he thereupon ex-
tended an invitation to Judge Cham
berlain and Mr.. Chandler to visit
Mrs. Eddy with him and discuss the
case with her.

the Complaint.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 25-The case
OF the United States against the STAN
dard<Oil company was argued in the
United States circuit court yesterday.
The complaint, which was filed a
number Of months ago in st. Louis,
sets up well known allegations
against the company and goes into
extensive details concerning a series
of offenses, which it is alleged the
company has committed during its
whole history. The purpose of the
bill OF exceptions is to narrow the
issue in the case to charges against
the Standard Oil company, which
date back not further than 1889,
when the company was organized.
The company files exceptions and OBJ
jects to all those parts of the COM
plant that show the original alleged
conspiracy of the Standard Oil trust
which preceded the organization of
the Standard Oh company.

and adjourned.
