ROLL UP SLEEVES.
Attorney Generals VIII Form Organi-
cation to Fight the Trusts.

Attorney General Jackson will go to
st. Louis on August 2 for the pur-
pose of attending a big pow-wow of
all the "atty-gens" Of the Mississippi
valley.
The object of the meeting-speak it
in whispers, please-is to form a COM
bfne of the legal forces of all the
western states for the purpose of
fighting trusts.
incidentally, the attorney generals
will talk over the question of rail-
road regulation, the enforcement of
the 2-cent a mile passenger fare, the
encroachment of federal authority on
which are bound to be of paramount
interest in the western states for the
next few years.
1t is expected that the attorney
generals of Illinois, Indiana, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Michigan,
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa,
Texas, and possibly other states will
be in attendance. The conferences of
the attorney generals will probably be
of a secret nature, and even now it is
not publicly proclaimed that the
meeting will be in the nature of a
trust-busting conference.
Attorney General F. S. Jackson is
one of the members OF the executive
committee of the new organization,
and this committee is expected to de-
eide in a general way, what topics
ought to be discussed for the general
welfare. 1t happens that the inter
ests of the Mississippi valley states
are singularly bound together just at
present by a dominating demand of
public sentiment for the enforcement
of the antitrust laws, and laws regu-
lating railroad companies Many of
the attorney generals now have fights
pending on the 2-cent fare laws, and
other states-like Kansas-are liable
to have them, so this is a matter upon
which all the lawyers for states want
to act in, harmony.
Mr., Jackson said today in discuss
ing ing meeting: st--'~
whenever the Standard OIL COM
pany, or some other big corporation
suit, the first thing it does is to sum-
mon all its brilliant legal talent to a
meeting for the general discussion of
the situation. If we bring a suit
against a railroad company, involving
some vital principle of railroading, the
lawyers of all the roads make COM
mon cause in fighting us. and confer
together on the best methods of eS-
Gaping penalties or defending their
position. And 1 must admit that it is
very good plan to get together and
talk matters over. Why should not
the attorney generals of the various
states do the same? We are all in
terested in similar lawsuits, and it
will be of assistance to us to have the
of each. others study and
investigation. We are simply follow
ing the lead of the people we have to
oppose in these various important
lawsuits"

that the protests against the appraise-

had been in error in assessing the west
fronting property as high as the east
fronting property. AS a new appraise-
ment cannot be had this year in time
to get the property on the tax rolls the
paving of the street will be delayed un-
til next year.

constructed with asphalt. The ordi-
nance provided that one-half of the
cost OF the work be borne by the city
at large and one-half by the abutting
property owners. Bullock owned
property on the street. and refused to
pay his assessment on the ground that
the work was in reality a repair and as
such was chargeable wholly to the city
at large. The court on an appeal by
the city from decision favoring Bull
locks contention. said that Webster's
definition of the words repair and re-
construction was approved. Repair is
to restore to a sound or good state
after decay, injury, dilapidation or
partial destruction. If the old skele-
ton or framework of the original struc-
ture is retained. and the worn parts are
replaced with new material of the
same or kindred sort. it comes clearly
within the definition of repair. If. on
the other hand. the old structure is
torn away and new one erected in
place thereof. even though on the
same general plan, then it is clearly a
reconstruction, and it is immateriaI
that a part of the material taken out
of the old structure is put into the new
These definitions of the words repair
and reconstruction apply with equal
force and aptitude to all trades alike
In this case. therefore. the work done
though termed reconstruction, was
in fact but the repair of the surface of
the old street.-Court of Appeals of

POLICY KNEW QUANTRELL
How He Betrayed His Own Band Bent
on Robbery.

The reports from Vancouver island
| to the effect that Bill Quantren still
lives called forth a few "reminiscences
of the early days from J. A. Policy.
general agent of the Salvor company
of this city.
Mr.. Policy has lived in Topeka since
1857, but went down to Independence
for a year or two in 1858 to follow his
trade, that of a carriage manufacturer
and tells of his acquaintance with
Quantrell at that time. He says: Dur
ing the winter of IS, Quantrell, or
Charles Hart, as he was then known.
taught school and boarded at old man
Walkers at Independence. In SO, af-
ter he had left Walkers, he came back
with a gang of men to rob the old
man. The gang camped in Walkers
timber for the day and after going into
camp Quantrell relented. He told his
men that he would go to the house and
eat dinner with the folks so that he
might see how the land lay. He went,
and after dinner informed Walker of
the purpose of the visit. He told him
house in order that he himself might
not be shot. Quantren returned to the
woods and Walker gathered his neigh
bors together ready to give the rob-
beIs a warm reception when they ap-
preached the house under cover of
darkness. In the skirmish that fol-
lowed two of QuantrelPs men were Kill
ed and one wounded. The wounded
man was tracked in the snow the next
day and refusing to surrender, was
killed. Quantrell was put in Jail at
Independence that night and bailed out
the following day by Walker and that
was the last of the charge"
QuantrelPs lieutenants and best men
during war times were Independence
boys, all of whom Mr.. Policy knew
we'll and he remembers many incidents
connected with the exploits of the fam

STILL AT TOP NOTCH.
Hartman Sees No Signs of Recess
sion i'll Business.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-A dispatch to
the Record-Herald from New York
says:
E. H Hartman, in giving his views
regarding the state of trade, said:
81 hear lots of talk of a recession in
business, but see no signs of the re-
cession. NV advice from the west,
southwest and northwest are that
business is still at the top notch So
far as one can judge at present 1t
looks as though we were going to do
a big falls work"
Asked what he thought about the
prospects for a return of confidence.
Mr.. Hartman replied with smile:
This is beyond me. Investors and
the public generally, like individuals,
have their moods and changes.
Meanwhile. we are going ahead and
keeping our properties in first class
shape. They are growing more val
liable every day, and I doubt not that
everything will turn out all right, for
values must tell in the end"
Mr.. Hartman is soon to make MS
annual tour over the Hartman lines.
He will be gone two or three weeks.
The New York Slump.
New York, Aug. 1O.-The violent
break in the stock market this week
is most usually attributed in the
financial district to the hue and cry
tiers. A vulnerable speculative posi-
ton was uncovered and raiding tactics
by professional bears were actively
employed. The growing contraction
of money resources was prime ele-
ment in the upset The interior has
begun to draw currency away from
New York and large syndicate re-
quirements had to be met for sub
scriptions due on new securities. The
recession in the iron and steel trades
and the decline in price of copper
kept attention awake to the proba-
bility of, trade reaction. The stock
market slump put prices back to. or
below the prices of the March panic.

AUTO BOLTS The TRACK
Runs Into Crowd of Spectators. In
juring Seven Persons.

New York, Aug. 1o.-A serious acct
dent occurred at Brighton Beach race
track at 2:30 this morning, during the
international endurance derby for au-
tomobiles, a contest which started at
10 o'clock last night and which is to
continue for "a hours.
The Pillian car, driven by Strong,
threw tire at the turn into the
stretch, ran into the fence and knock
ed down many persons, seven of whom
were injured. Four persons sustained
broken arms and legs, while the 9TH
ers were cut and bruised. The injured
were taken to the emergency hospital
at Coney Island.
Five thousand people sat in the
grandstand far into the night watch
ing the cars flash in and out of the
fog and darkness into the lighted space
in front of the grandstand. An attempt
had been made to light the entire oval.
but here and there were dark spots
through which the cars flashed like so
many great gray beetles.
The daring drivers. despite the many
contestants in the race and the poor
light kept up terrific pace, averag
ing between 40 and so miles an hour.
At the end Of the fourth hour the
Frayer-Miller car was in the lead with
1855 as miles. The Jackson car, was
second with ITO miles.
