WOULD TAKE THEIR LANDS
OKLAHOMA FILES SUIT AGAINST
THE STANDARD.
Would Dispcssess Oil Company Of
Wells, Leases, Etc, In East.
ern Counties.

Guthrie, Ok, July 14.--Another move
in Attorney General Vests fight on
Standard OIL was, initiated Monday
when suit was fled in the Logan
county district court asking an order
Of the court compelling the Prairie Oh
& Gas company to rellnquish Its en-
tire holdings of oil lands, leases and
wells In the eastern counties ira
versed by the company's pipe line.
It is the contention of the state that
the Prairie Oil & Gas company holds
lands in the state in violation Of the
laws Of the state, as being a common
carrier and therefore a public serv-
ice corporation and permitted to own
only such lands as are necessary In
the operation Of Its public service
The Prairie company is charged with
discriminatory rates on the transpor-
3tasion Of oil, which have resulted in
the radical monopolization Of the in
dustry in the oil producing counties 81
Washington, Nowata. Tulsa, Usage and
Rogers, and the state further prays
that If, the restraint Of the company
from further reducing oil from its
holdings does not relieve the indie
pendent producers, that receivers Be
appointed for the company in the
state.
Suit is filed by Attorney General
West contrary to telegraphic orders
wired by Gov. Haskell instructing the
attorney general to bring no suits
without first receiving instructions
from him. The governors message
was sent Just after the first suit
against the oil company was filed.

In 1894 the Kansas Children's Home
(Finding) Society was incorporated at
Topeka for the purpose Of seeking
homeless, neglected and dependent
children and becoming their friend
and protector. To find homes for
them in well-to-do families and TO-
place them there wisely with the
least possible delay. To make IL
possible for many persons without
children Of their own to adopt, with
out fear Of future interference. q child
that may be a blessing to the home.
To protect society BY guaranteeing
proper home training and education
to the unfortunate little ones against
its two greatest enemies, ignorance
and vice and thus to improve Ameri-
can citizenship. To accomplish this
end the state is divided into six dis
tricts, each one under the supervision
81 district uperintendsnt. As fast
as possible this representative ap-
points one or more local advisory
boards in each community. About
5000 have been appointed. This local
board notifies the society when a
child in given community needs
home and helps the society in select
ing homes for children that the best
may be obtained, The writer has
been field worker in this (Salina) dis
trict over four years and y not
stranger to many readers Of this
paper. He has received a dozen
children from the Juvenile court Of
this county and helped to bring
others into court. where they could
get the benefit Of its protection. He
has placed nearly as many children IN
selected homes in the county. He
has $50 children to visit each year in
their foster homes, replacing any that
may need it. He has spoken In
several OF the churches in various
parts Of the county and has repre-
sented his work IN three OF tne
churches in Abilene but has not in
over a year asked individuals for
funds.

We have rehomed over HOO Kansas
over 80 per cent Of which

here are over 1000 such children left
homeless in this state every year and
we want to beable to handle more Of

there child labor laws in the south? Why are
there laws TO protect women wage earners In the
south? You and your fusion friends had absolute execu-
legislative control of Nebraska for several years
Why legislation to protect labor passed then?
Why did the wage of Nebraska have to wait for
succeeding republican legislatures to remove the $4,000
death damage limit to get equitable employers habi-

toward popular rule has been through the d
primary. Why is it, Mr.. Bryan, that your fusion

direct primary law? Why is 1t that the republicans of
Nebraska the direct primary law the
opposition of the democrats? Why is 1t that the progress
republican states have enacted direct primary laws
bring the filling of ohices closer to the people, while
the democratic states of the south direct primary laws
have avowedly dsfranchise the people?

TURKISH MUTINEERS KILLED
Threatened Outbreak QueIled by
Discharge of One VOlIey from
Loyal Battalion.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct 31-A threat
ened outbreak on the part of a company
OF Turkish troops attached to the garrison
at Yildz Kiosk was promptly put down
this morning with a single volley from a
loyal battalion. Three of the mutineers
were killed and fifteen wounded
The mutinous spirit manifested itself
when the company was assembled, and
threatened for a few moments to result in
Serious trouble But a hurry order was
issued and battalion from regiment
recently brought In from Salonih was
nartted To- the scene and one volley suf-
ficed to coy the mutineers.
The rebelious troops were under orders
to leave for the provinces, but they re-
fused to depart, withdrew to a field near
the barracks. and defied their officers.
The battalion from Saloniki, which was
drafted into the capital especially because
the men were staunch supporters of the
constitution. was ordered to attack the
rebels They fired one volley, with the
result set forth. after which the mutineers
surrendered and were made prisoners Later
they were drawn up on the public square,
tied together and exhibited to the assembled
troops as rebels who had broken their mill
tary oath. This prompt suppression is
expected to have a salutary effect on the
remainder OF the Yilds Kiosk garrison
which is suspected Of being antagonistic
to the constitution.
