Following his order denying the use
of the mails to a Paterson anarchist
paper, Mr. Meyer instructed the third
assistant postmaster general to for
mulate an order providing that papers
of an archistic or socialistic charac-
ter, printed in a foreign language,
would be required to print with it a
translation in English of any matter
that was incendiary or advocated an
archy. An examination of the law,
however. disclosed that such an or
der could not be based on it, and ac-
cordingy Mr.. Meyer suggested to the
postoffice committee of congress an
amendment to section 1898 of the re
vlsed statutes. which prohibits the
carrying in the mails of indecent mat

serted and upon which will be based
the forthcoming order of the postmas-

SPECIAL SESSION TALK.
r.. N. Allen and Others Call on Cover
nor HOch.

r. N. Allen, of Chanute, and Morton
Albaugh were the principal callers this
morning at the office of Governor Hoch.
Mr.. Allen is one of the original ''Hoch
boomers in the boss buster movement,
and besides being a banker, is recog-
nfzed as shrewd and far seeing poll
tician. 1t is likely that Governor Hoch
called him into conference at this time
for the purpose of getting his judgment
about the call for the special session.
Mr.. Allen is said to be in favor of the
guaranty deposit law and the special
session. Mr.. Albaugh is opposed to the
special session.
The governor was still silent up to
noon concerning his intentions about
the session.
Il will not decide the matter today"
he said.
In the event of Governor Hoch call
ing a special session of the legislature
for the chief purpose of having bank
guaranty deposit law placed on the
statute books at this time. his action
would be one that may not be bene-
fetal to the credit of Kansas. This is
the opinion of men of prominence in
the business world all over the state

purpose of enacting a law to guaran-
tee bank deposits might be looked
upon in financial circles Throughout,
the country as convincing evidence
that Kansas and kansanS were lack
ing in confidence in the banks in the
state at this time, which is directly
contrary to the facts. 20
There are many good arguments in
favor of a guaranty bank deposit law
but it appears to many cons ervative
people that the present time is not
opportune for the enactment of one.
The Kansas banks have the reputa-
ton, and deserved one, throughout
the country for having weathered the
financial storm Of recent date in most
excellent shape.
And it certainly would show a lack
Of reliance in them just at this mo-
ment as they are emerging from a Sc
we're strain to call a special session to
enact a guaranty deposit law. This evil
dent lack of faith in the banks might
seriously impair the credit of Kansas
in other parts of the country. This is
a condition which will Undoubtedly re-
ceive the serious consideration of the
governor in determining the question of
a special session, If he is to call one
for the avowed purpose of having a
bank deposit guaranty law passed.
So far as known not a state in the
Union has called any special session to
enact such law. Furthermore there
is probably not a state in the whole
country in better financial condition
than this one. Why then put things
in the air. and undo present good con-
ditions?

COLOR Line PROBLEM.
Negro Convicted for Not Sending
Children to Colored School.

A small race problem" was ham,
mered out in the court of Topeka
Saturday, but the end is not yet.
Simon Gay, colored, was found guilty,
and sentence suspended. of keeping
liam Gay, out of school. The truant
notifying, him to send his children to
a certain school, and be quick about it.
The Gay family lives at 127 North
Tyler street, within the Sumner school
district. Because the. children were
negroes, Professorst Whitemore, ruler
of such things. ordered the children
to attend Madison school, on the other
side of town. Gay decided to buck
the tiger and refused to send the
children to the East Side school,
which is devoted exclusively to negro
children. The school has negro teach
ers and principal, and to avoid some
of the anti-mixture trouble arising in
the city, the school management has
endeavored to place colOred children
in that school. Gay objected to this
arrangement, and made no defense ex-
cept that he did not live in Madison
school district. Gay was not fined at
once, as he signified his intention to
appeal the case.
"A number of the negroes of the
city have resented the attempt of the
school board to separate their chill
dren from the whites. The Madison
street school is equal to any OF the
city schools in equipment and man
agement and the white children in
that district are sent to other schools.

GRAVES IS ENJOINEO.
Topeka Tooth Powder Man Loses Suit
in United States Court.

W. E. Graves of Topeka who has
been manufacturing since 1906 a tooth
powder which he called Graves tooth
powder" has been enjoined in the Unit
ed States circuit court from using the
name Graves or DR.. Graves in connec-
ton with the sale of his preparation
or initiating in any manner the car
tons and packages in which the DR.. z.
L. Graves tooth powder was offered
for sale. He is also ordered to pay
over whatever profits may have accrued
through the sale of the powder to Sam
uel H. Gunder of Richmond, Virginia,
who is now the manufacturer of the
DR.. E. L. Graves tooth powder
The finding of the special master, l.
E. Lambert Of Emporia, who heard the
testimony, was affirmed by Judge John
G. Pollock in his decree. Suit was in
stituted during 1907 by Gunder against
w. E. Graves of Topeka who 1t was
claimed had infringed on the copyright
and patent rights of the plaintiff who
stated w. E. Graves had put out for
sale and had been manufacturing a
toothpowder which was offered for sale
in packages very similar to that of the
E. L. Graves product which had been
on the market since 1879.
It is probable that w. E. Graves will
take an appeal from the decision to the
higher court.

DARLINGTON WINS.
United States Supreme Court Reverses

Washington, Jan. 6-The supreme
court of the United States today re-
versed the decision of the supreme
court of the Philippines in case of
Major Frank Del Darlington of the
First infantry, and commander of the
battalion of the Philippine scouts. Car
rington was charged with classifying his
account as purchasing agent of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition and was
sentenced to imprisonment for IA years
each On three counts. He attacked the
regularity of the proceedings of the
Philippine courts, especially urged he
was not an officer of the Philippine
government and that his position as an
officer of the United States army re-
lieved him from responsibility to the
civil authorities of the islands. The
amount involved in the charge was
small and Carrington's counsel urged
the excessive nature of the penalty.
The opinion was by Justice Holmes and
held that as Darlington was not an
official of the civil government, he was
not responsible to the civil authorities
