FIXING UP SUIT OVER FINE
Mr.. Higgins Here to See 1fr. schencak
About It.

Assistant County Attorney Higgins
Of Wyandotte county Is in Topeka to-
day making arrangements to test In
the courts the question of whether the
1000 paid by Mayor Rose Of Kansas
City, Kan, as a fine in his contempt
case belongs to Shawnee county or
WyaGdotte county.
Attorney General c. c. Coleman
ruled that the $1,000 should be paid
to Shawnee county. on the ground that
the fine was assessed in this county
Del Valentine, clerk Of the supreme
court, has thus far refused to turn the
money over to Shawnee county, be-
cause he held that there was doubt
about the courts sustaining General
Coleman's opinion.
Mr.. Higgins called on County Attor-
ney J. ]. Schenck this afternoon and
discussed the matter. The probability
Is that Shawnee county will bring an
action In mandamus against Mr.. VAL,
entine to compel him to turn the
money over to this county. Mr.. Hfr-
gins and other Wyandotte county law
yers will represent Mr.. Valentine, or
else will intervene in the case on their
own behalf. Mr. Valentine has no
personal interest in the matter, but
will await the decision of the court
before paying the money over to any
body.

NO GRAFT PROVEN.
Lawyers for Defense Say Pennsyi-
yania Has Made No Case.

Harrisburg. Pa, Feb. 26.-Taking the
position that the commonwealth has
not made out a case against Con-
tractor Anderson and the former state
officers, Snyder, Mathues and Shumak-
er, on trial here, charged with con-
spiracy to cheat the state in the fur
nishing Of the new capitol, the lawyers
for the defense have decided to call
none of their clients as witnesses.
These lawyers say that Snyder's testi-
mony has explained away many of the
alleged Suspicious circumstances" In
the furnishing contracts and that there
Is nothing to be gained by simplifying
his testimony with statements by other
defendants. The states lawyers insist
that they made out a case against all
of the defendants and to further
strengthen their case they will call a
large number Of witnesses in rebuttal.
The typewriter experts were called by
the defense today to discredit Stanford
B. Lewis, assistant to Architect J. NJ.
Huston. Lewis had testified that the
sample sheet was written in Snyder's
office and the quantities book" in Hus-
TOMS office. These experts testified
that both papers and also Illusions let
ter to former Attorney General Carson
were written on the same typewriter.
