Kansas City, June 11.-After a year
Of two-cent fares the steam railroads
have united for a fight on the state
law and a return to three-cent fares.
Saturday Frank Hagerman, for the
railroads, will ask that the federal
court fix a day for hearing an applica-
ton to enjoin the enforcement Of the
law which requires railroads to carry
passengers for two cents q mile.
In the notice to Herbert 8. Hadley,
attorney general, that the application
will be made only nine railroads are
named.
Back of this, however, is an import
ant factor. The railroads have picked
Missouri for fighting ground, not only
on the question of the reasonableness
Of twocent fare laws, but on the pow
ers Of states to enact and enforce
them.
Most Of the railroads have prepared
the statements upon which they ex.
pect to prove that the two-cent rate is
not compensatory. The Missouri Pa
cihc shows a deficit Of $2O,371.15 in
1907, against profit of $166,S13.24 in
the same months Of 1906. The st.
Joseph & Grand Island railway report
ed 5S,S01 passengers in the last six
months Of 1906. These passengers paid
the company $4,000, but in the fall
Of 1907 1885 passengers paid only
29,S19, although the average ride was
longer in the latter year. The other
roads will make equally poor show
ings.

JEALOUSY OVER WOMAN
CAUSES TRIPLE TRAGEDY
Los Angeles Negro Porter Kills
Man and Mulattress, Then
Shoots Himself

Los ANGELES, Dec. Jealousy
over the changeful affections of a
handsome mulattress was at the bot
tom of tragedy which took place in
this city today and which resulted in
the death of the woman, known rs Mrs.
Dora de Vaughn, and of Edward Dean,
a barber, both of whom were shot by
Frank Maywealther, a porter. May
weather afterward fired a bullet into
his own head and is fatally wounded
Maywealther is a negro, and Dean, the
man shot by him, is said to be of mixed
Mexican and negro blood.
Mrs. de Vaughn, who was once an
actress on the vaudeville stage, had
been keeping a lodging house at SO
South Main street since her husband
was sent to the penitentiary a year ago
for an assault upon white woman.
Maywealther had been one of her
dodgers when he was not aboard one
of the Catalina island steamers, on
which he was a porter. Dean also went
to lodge with Mrs. de Vaughn, and is
said to have won her affections.
Maywealther upbraided the woman
on numerous occasions of late for hav-
ing Dean in the house.
Maywealther made his escape and ran
to a house in Gladys street, in which
he had recently lived after leaving the
De Vaughn house, and when the Off
GERS arrived there they found him
stretched on the floor, bullet hole
through his head. The police surgeons
say he can not recover.

REVIEWS FIGHT TO
SAVE CITY HALL RUINS
Undaunted by One Setback,
Frank j. Sullivan Files AM
other Plea for Injunction
Hopes to Prevent City Auditor
From Paying Out Funds to
Raze Structure

Undeterred by the adverse decision
of Judge Seawell, Frank Sullivan yes
terday instituted a second suit to pre-
vent the tearing down of the city hall
ruins. This action is directed against
Auditor John A. Roster, and seeks to
have that official enjoined from cer-
tifying that there remains unexpended
and unapplied from the fund for the
construction and repair of buildings
sum of $500 available for the execu-
tion of the contract for demolishing
the dome and adjacent structure The
court is also asked to restrain Roster
from allowing or auditing any demand
for the expense of wrecking or dis
mantling the city hall.
The allegations are similar to those
in SulliVan's first complaint. The
plaintiff states that he brings the suit
on behalf of himself and all other tax
payers. He denies that the city hall
is dangerous or unsafe. Complaint is
made by Sullivan that no plans have
been prepared for new hall, and no
appropriation made for its erection.
The wrecking and removal of the
present structure will, he complains,
create an additional burden of $1,20O,-
600 in excess of the cost of repairing
and rehabilitating the hall. If the
auditor is not restrained from allow
ing the claims Of the lowest bidder,
the William II. Abbitt construction
company, an illegal and void claim will
be created against the city, the COM
plant declares.
