night there were about twenty pa
irons in the place lined up before the
bar or waiting their turn to order
drinks. Five kegs of beer were found
in the bar room and whisky, wine, gin.
champagne and cordials enough to
supply an ordinary bar for weeks.
Neither the bar nor stock of liquors
was disturbed last night but the place
was locked by Sheriff Wflkerson and
a deputy placed in charge and the
liquor will be taken to the court house
as soon as arrangements can be made
for it's storage.
At the same time the Central club
was being raided another force of de-
puties led by Tailor Bundy raided the
Tenth Street Drug store, arrestine
Andrew Jordan as proprietor OF the
place and William Cooper as chief dis
penser of the liquors of the store. Both
of the men arrested at this place are
colored. No bar was found here but
there was enough liquor in stock TO
keep down the thirst of the patrons of
the place for some time had 1t not
been CAPTURED by the sheriff force.
The third raid made proved to be
frost but this was not the fault OF the
officers who were led by Colonel NOR
ton, who is office deputy in the sher-
ifs office. The joint which has been
operated in the rear of the Chester
field hotel was closed a few days ago
and it appears as though Fred Ross
and Wood Fowler who own the place
either had a tip of the RAID or ar are
lucky at playing lunches. Inc
opera house drug store which was
formerly owned by these men closed
its bar room on the same day that the
Chesterfield bar was taken out ana
since then a drink could not have
been obtained in the place under any
circumstance.
A thorough search of the place re
vealed the former location of the joint
which was in operation only last week
n
any kind found. F. J. Ross and w. A.
Fowler, the owners of the Chester
field hotel, were placed under arrest,
as was George Simmons who hangs
about the place and is supposed to be
the bartender. All of the arrested
men were taken to the county Jail
where they were released few hours
later on bonds.
Mr.. Charles L. Wood, one of the
proprietors of the National hotel, says
that the National hotel has no con-

by the police. That it is a separate
institution entirely.

IN such manner and on such terms as
1t may deem eKpedient one or more
classes of preferred stock. and to make
such agreements as it may deem
proper with the respective holders
thereof as to the dividends thereon.
Th1s is the provision relied on to give
the defendant the right to issue stock
without limit. In my judgment it
does not do so.
Must Keep Within Limit.
THE first section of this act makes
it clear that only a small fraction of
the stock then authorized had been is
sued or subscribed, and the first sec
ton containing any provision on the
subject of the stock provides that the
Minneapolis & ST Cloud railroad COM
pany, shall also have power to open
books and receive subscriptions for
stock in any amount necessary and
charter
Reading the whole act together, it
is manifest that the sole purpose of
the provisions of section, 10 above
quoted is to authorize classifications of
stock not originally authorized, to
wit: preferred and special stock, the
idea of enlarging the limit of stock to
be issued does not appear to have en-
tered into the legislative considera-
ton 81
Judge Hallam therefore concludes
that the defendant derived no power
from the terms of its charter to in
crease its stock beyond thirty million
dollars and that its power to make
such increase is derived from the gem
eral laws of the state. If so such in
crease must be subject to the limita-
tons and regulations here subscribed
by the general laws.
Judge Hallam, endorsing the regu-
lations provided by the general laws,
continues:
There is. no question as to the pro-
priety of such legislation. The issue of
n RI 1.-Two ~ -af1 c
matter of public concern, and the state
has right to insist that when such a
corporation increases its stock there
shall be value behind the stock, and 1t
has a right to establish safeguards to
that end. This is all the act in ques-
ton does" Citing a Lewiston in the case
involving the appointment of a board
of commissioners for electrical subwaIs
in New York, Judge Hallam holds that
the courts have gone much farther than
is necessary here to sustain to validity
of this act as regulation of a charter
right.
The court quotes numerous decisions
to support his contention and refers at
length to the case of Pearsall VS.. the
Great Northern in which the supreme
court decided that the right to CONSOLE
date with other railroad companies, even
though they owned parallel or Compel
ing lines, was subject to legislative reg
ulation and might be taken away.
On the subject of the contention that
the legislature had not the power to
delegate legislative powers to the state
railroad and warehouse commission be-
cause such power might be abused in
favor of or against any particular rail-
road, Judge Hallam says:
1T seems to me clear that the COM
mission must, in arriving at its deter
mination, be guided only by what is a
proper. and lawful occasion for the in
crease of railroad corporation stock.
Any arbitrary veto power upon such
increase would be against the letter and
the spirit of the act.''

DEPEND ON IT.
People Look to, Associated Press for
the News

Senator F. Dumont Smith seems to
be trying to abolish the Associated
Press organization upon which he says:
I'VE depend forlall the news from all
the capitals and the great cities of the
world" Mr., Smith does not seem to
understand that the Associated Press is
not an organization for profit, but mere
~ an association of newspapers to coll
lect for. their own members the. news
of world. There is no limit to the
number of sucht organizations there
might be, but the Associated Press, is
of course by far the best, and is man
aged by board, of directors living in
various parts of the United States from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Its scope
and. business is not only interstate, but
international. Reference to this bill is
also made today in this issue under the
heading Seen From the Gallery
Senator Smith said with reference to
his bill: ,o
Il have been investigating this mat
ter for a long time, as there is a grow
ing feeling that the Associated Press is
a monopoly that will be extremely dan
gerous unless conducted by men of the
highest conscience and the strongest
sense of duty. Without rejecting upon
the management of the Associated
Press, the fact that we depend upon
it for all the news from all the cap
itals and the great cities of the world,
that our opinions and views upon near
ly all public questions are determined
by what the Associated HreSS sends.
it cannot be disputed that a power such
as this is dangerous in the extreme A
trust in intelligence is more dangerous
than any other. My bill, however,
strikes merely at the monopolistic fea-
ture of it. A little group of men in
New York city have the absolute power
to say what cities in Kansas shall have
a daily paper and how many each shall
have. I am as much against a newspa-
per monopoly as any other. and this act.
If enforced, will destroy that feature of
the monopoly at least.
TT is absolutely fair to the Associat-
ed Press and simply opens every city
to the same kind of competition in the
newspaper business that it has, or
should have, in all other occupations.
In the Chicago Inter-Ocean case, 1874
Ill, the court held that the business OF
gathering and selling news is impress
ed with a public interest and thac the
public may regulate it. 1 think there is
no doubt that the bill is valid" c
