amounts to $4,000 a year and there

FRESH ITEMS OF INTEREST FOR
KANSAS PEOPLE.
Latest Events Transpirlng Among the
State Officials at Topeka
Gathered by Our Cor.
respondent.

Topeka-Some one is going to have
nice cost bill to pay when the bank
deposit guaranty suit is finally de-
cided Before the case Is even tried
the costs will amount to more than
one thousand dollars and there may
be much additional cash required to
foot all the bills before the case is
finally ended.
The suit was brought by the Attor-
ney General to test the law. All of the
national banks, 1S9 and 3O1 of the
state banks, two state officials and
three lawyers were made defendants
In the suit. The banks are scattered
in every county in Kansas except two,
which have no banks and service had
to be obtained in every single bank.
The copies of the summons and
writ were sent to the sheriffs Of
each county for service. The sheriffs
had to personally see that copy was
served on each bank In his county
that was made defendant. In some
counties every bank had to be served.
Many of the banks were outside the
county seats SO there was considerable
milage to be added into the bill. The
sheriff received a state fee for serving
each paper. The fees so far claimed
by the different sheriffs vary from
two to more than twenty dollars and
the average is close to ten dollars for
each sheriff in the 1O3 counties where
the service was made. In addition to
all of these sheriff fees there will be
heavy court costs and there may be
additional sheriff fees. If the state
wins the banks will have to pay the
costs while II the banks win the state
will have to pay the account.

A call has been sent out by the
State Board of Control for insane
women who are now confined In
county jails and county poor houses
because of the lack of room for them
at the state hospitals. One Of the
new cottages authorized by the last
legislature for the Topeka State hos
pital has been completed and thrown
open. Another will be completed with
in short time. The cottage which
has been completed furnishes accom-
modations for 10 patients. The hos
pital has been overcrowded for
months and as soon as the building
was completed the overflow was taken
care of. There is still room In this
cottage for 30 patients. The new cot
tage will furnish accommodations for
10 more. This will give room for 100
more female patients than there are
now at the Topeka State hospital. 1t
Is not known that there are 100 fe-
male patients In the jails and county
poor houses over the state, but there
is large number. Since the Topeka
State hospital has been filled to its
capacity only the worst cases have
been taken in. Where a patient was
harmless the authorities in the
counties were required to care for him
either at the Jail or the poor farm.
