r. b. DAVIS IN A ROW.
Fights With Theatrical Manager on
Atlantic City Board Walk.

New York.-Richard Harding Davis,
the writer, went to witness a presenta-
ton of his comedy, THE Yankee Tour
ist,'' at the Casino at Asbury Park Sun
day night Mr.. Davis occupied a box
with a party of friends, and presently
thought he had reason to complain to
Walter Rosenberg, acting manager of
the Casino. : The latter requested Mr.
Davis to step outside the theater and
talk it over. On the board walk the pair
got into dispute, clinched and before
they broke away several light blows
were struck.
According to Mr. Davis, he and his
friends, among whom was P. F. Collier,
occupied one box in the theater. An
other had been engaged by him for his
friends who were late in arriving. Just
before the curtain rose other persons
entered the vacant box and began TO
make themselves at home Mr.. Davis
demonstrated, but they insisted that
they were in possession and refused to
go, so he sought Mr.. Rosenberg. Rosen-
berry called Davis IAN imitation Eng
hshman.'

THE DRUGGISTS TO QUIT
Probate Judge Shuts Down On Beer
Sales at Chanute.

Chanute-The druggists in Chanute
have each received the following or
der from Probate Judge Alleman. The
renewals of two permits held up by
Judge Alleman since the first OF the
month are still pending.
The new order reads:
- Druggist:
have another request to make OF
Won. that is, 1 request that you cease
selling beer. You will probably argue
that beer is an intoxicating liquor and
that YOU have a permit to sell 1ntoxl-
eating LIQUORS 1 have just finished
counting and find that the Chanute
druppists have sold, during the month
of July. six thousand nine hundred
ana seventy-six bottles of beer. Upon
your honor you would not claim that
this immense quantity of beer was
used by sick people. I have come to
the conclusion that we are conducting
an immense saloon business under the
guise of selling to sick people, ana
can't stand for it any longer.
You may also argue that If the
druggists do not sell the beer some
one else will. If some one else does
soil if we will not be responsible. Fer

FOR STATES RIGHTS.
Attorney Generals of Western States
to Form an Organization.

A convention of attorney generals
of all the states in the United States
will be called to meet in ST. Louis,
September 80 and October 1, to effect
an organization for the preservation
of state rights and for concerted ac-
ton in prosecutions. Legal proceed
ing in the 2-cent passenger fare mat
ter also will be discussed with a view
to united action in prosecutions. The
official call for the meeting will be
sent out from Jefferson City by At
torney General H. S. Hadley of Mis-
souri,. as chairman of the general
committee of attorney generals au-
thorizing its call.
Eight attorney generals from as
many states in the Mississippi valley
participated in a preliminary meeting
on arrangements at the Southern ho-
tel Monday morning. These are: H.
s. Haley of Missouri, r. v. Fletcher
of Mississippi, w. H. Miller of Ohio,
assistant attorney general; James
Bingham of Indiana, Fred S. Jackson
of Kansas, Jewell P. Lightfoot, assist
ant attorney general of Texas; Charles
t. Gates. attorney general of Tonnes
see; Thomas E. Dempsey, assistant at
torney general of Illinois.
In addition to those present invita-
tons were originally issued to the
preliminary meeting of the attorney
generals of Nebraska, Minnesota,
Iowa, Kentucky Arkansas and Wis
consin. Letters were received that
they will cooperate in the convention
to be called for October. 1t was
pointed out in the meeting, which was
only preliminary to the general meet
ing in two months, that railroads and
trusts are already organized through
joint action on the part of the attor-
neys. The legal representatives of
the states are not organized in the
same way. By meeting in convention
it is figured that they will be able to
establish some concentrated arrange
ments in prosecutions. The meeting
was called by Attorney General Had
ley who has had the matter under
consideration for the last year.
Assertion of states rights opposed
to usurpation orr these rights by fed-
eral courts dating back to- the civil
war. will be the cardinal principle of
the convention, according to Attorney
General Hadley and other attorney
generals attending the conference. 1t
is believed that a community Of. the
peoples interests Will bring about
concerted action against Industrial
and social organizations that evade
the law in one state while being COM
PEELED to obey it in another state.
Trusts. special trusts, railroad regula-
ton and laws granting franchises to
public service corporations. together
with needed legal action to enforce
all regulations enacted by the states,
will have the center of the stage.

ALTON MAY ESCAPE.
Expect to Bar Prosecution by Plea of
Immunity.

Chicago-Upon a plea of immunity
the Chicago & Alton railway expects
effectually to bar prosecution by the
government on the charge of granting
rebates to the Standard Oil company of
Indiana. This immunity is said to have
been promised the Alton before the in
dictments against the Standard We're
returned last August, and in considera-
ton of it the Alton furnished the fed
convict the oil trust.
The federal grand jury, called two
weeks ago by Judge K. NJ. Lands for
the express purpose of Investigating
the culpability of the Alton in grant
ing rebates to Standard Oil, Will con-
vene Wednesday and the question of
become an important one. The Alton
officials may submit their proof to Dis
trict Attorney Sims then or wait un-
til the Indictment is returned. Thus far
the Alton officials have said nothing
about immunity, but they do not worry
about the charge made against them.

S. d. Nathanay Passes Away in Sa-
lima From Consumption.

Salina.-Samuel D. Nathamy, a
man about thirty-five years of age,
was found dying of consumption, on
the loading platform in the rear of
the Ed Lott hide house on Iron ave-
nue. this morning at 2:15 O'Clock. The
man was discovered by Frank Yock-
ers of the Yocker's livery barn, who
was attracted to the platform where
the man was sitting, by his violent
coughing.
The man said his name was Sam
ue1 D. Nathamy and that he had been
living in California and was on his
way to his sisters home at Kensing-
ton. His sisters name, he said, was
Clara Randall. Beyond this no in
formation was gained as the man was
weak and breathed with difficulty
DR.. Moses was called. Shortly after
he arrived and in about thirty min
utes from the time he was discovered
the man died.
Mr.. Moses said that the cause of his
death was quick consumption.
Late this afternoon Mr.. Smith tele-
phoned to Kensington to Mrs. Ran
dali. She instructed him to take the
best care of the body and that she
would be here on the first train to
make disposition of it.

STANDARD SQUEALS AGAIN.
Reply of the Corporation to Mr..
Smiths Latest.

New York-The only reply that the
Standard Oil would make to the latest
report of Herbert Knox Smith, the COM
missioner of corporations, in which he
showed American oil was sold for less
in Europe than at home. was the fol-
lowing, which they ask the public to
consider as illustrative of the method
and spirit that have dominated the
commissioners utterances;
AN actual colloQuy between a United
States representative of the bureau OF
corporations and an English dealer in
Russian oils:
United States Agent-'You have had
contract relations in times past with the
Standard Oil?'
English Dealer-'Yes.'
United States Agent-fWill you per-
NIT me to read the contract?'
English Dealer-I will not and am
amazed that you should make such a
request
UNITED States Agent-'My reason for
making the request is that, as compel
itor of the Standard Oil company. 1
should think you would be very glad to
assist us in downing them"

cal deductions of all departments OF the

WE'RE TWO oUANTRELLs.
Lawrence Man Says Guerrilla Leader
Is Buried in the Sni Hills.

Lawrence, Kan.-Jacob Pike. who
for many years drove stage in Kan
sas, says that 1t is not true that Guam
trell, the guerrilla. died in Kentucky.
He says that Quantrell died in Missouri
and was buried there. Mr.. Pike was
familiar with all of the pioneers and
they all rode with him at various
times. He is a storehouse of informa-
ton on early Kansas topics. He was
asked this morning his opinion on the
reported finding of Quantrell in Can
ada. He said:
"It Is plain that there were two
QuantreIls in the Civil war. One was
wounded in Kentucky, and died in
hospital there, as told in a st. Louis
paper by war correspondent but he
could not have been the Charles Hart
Quantrell who raided Lawrence. Au-
gust Fl. 1853. The man who raided
Lawrence was killed and buried in the
Sni hills in Missouri in April, 1864. He
was buried under a large oak tree.

after raids through the country towns.
