IS AN OUTCAST.
Missouri Pacific Must Go 1t Alone in
Fight With Governor.

The Missouri Pacific is an outcast
among Kansas railroads. Usually
when one road is attacked by state Of
fcials or legislators or the general pub
lie the others rush to its relief. Not
so when the Missouri: Pacific is the
target. When Gov. Stubs went af-
ter the Gouud officials last Wednesday
and made them come to time, with
million dollars would be spent on the
Central Branch alone. representatives
of other roads said:
Were glad OF it. 1t serves them
right. The governor ought to make
them spend a million and half. And,
besides, the governor would learn
whole lot more about the Missouri Pa
cific system in Kansas if he went over
the whole line in the state"
Sc the Missouri Pacific will have to
fight its own battles with the COVER
nor.
A railroad attorney of this city,
speaking of the matter, said:
Whatever criticism the railroads de-
served in the past, 1 think that the
average person will admit that the
three main trunk lines in the state
the Union Pacific, the Chicago, ROCK
Island & Pacific and the Atkinson, 10
peka & Santa Fe-have been toeing the
scratch recently The Missouri Pacific
hasn't The Central Branch is dis
grace; the branch between Topeka and
Fort Scott is even worse, but there the
people have some redress by being able
to take other lines. The main line is
the worst of any in the state.
Laws Aimed at One Hit All.
You say that we needn't complain
about this condition of affairs as it
would naturally attract business to our
lines. Maybe it does, but it has
graver feature. 1t attracts the atten-
ton of legislators to that line. The
consequence is there is a flood of bills
in every legislature aimed primarily at
the Missouri Pacific, but of course they
affect all railroads. These bills, it may
be argued, need not worry US, if we are
on the square. But they do, just the
same. And they are introduced, not
with the intention to harass us. but
mostly because some legislator lives on
the line of the Central Branch, and
member who lives up there is pretty
sure to have a, sting in his bill that it
wouldn't have were the author of the
bill not angry over, not a fancied, but
an actual grievance. It's a case of all
of us suffering because of the sins of
the one.'

GENTRY IS FREE.
After Three Months In Jail, Kidnaper
Gives $4,000 Bond.

Joseph N. Gentry, most concerned
of all the participants in the famous
kidnapping case of Marian Bleakley, is
out on bond. The bail of $4,000 on
the two charges, kidnapping and as
sault with intent to kill, which has
been looked for and schemed for since
Gentry's incarceration nearly three
months ago, came Unexpectedly at 2
o'clock today.
The last half or $4,000 which has
been the more difficult to find came
from w. F. MayberEE, the close friend
of Gentry at Kansas City. Mayberry
has been looked to all along to supply
'he money but WREN he finally sold his
very barn a week ago and the bond
was still not forthcoming, hope at the
county jail ran low
The first $4,000 came from the aged
mother and the sister of Gentry at his
rome, Erie, Kan. The Erie bank sup
rlied the cash secured by the real
property of the two women.
Immediately upon his delivery he
hurried to the depot to catch a train
for Kansas City where he hopes to be
able to organize his defense into a
formidable opposition to a trip to the
penitentiary

TWO HOUSES CLASH.
Lords Attempt to Usurp Prerogatives
of the Commons.

London, Nov. 29.-Lord Morley Of
Blackburn, secretary of state for India,
whose speeches since his elevation to
the upper house, have dealt exclusively
with questions concerning India, de-
parted from this rule, when on behalf
of the government he reopened the
budget debate.
The amendment which the house of
lords proposed to pass, said Lord Nor
ley. though it contained but a couple of
lines, involved no fewer that five points,
each in turn constituting a more radical
departure from constitutional usage
and practical convenience.
In the first place, the amendment
gave to the house Of lords the taxing
power. Next it assumed the power of
enforcing a penal dissolution by refus-
ing supplies. Then there must be a
new parliament whenever the sitting
parliament had the misfortune to dis
please their lordshiDs of the second
chamber. And, again, if these PROPOSE
tons are proved, they are changing
representative supremacy into an
oligarchic and nonrepresentative su-
premacy. Finally, said Lord Morley,
they are throwing out of gear the whole
financial machinery for the year. Taxes
had been collected on the authority of
the house of commons by customs and
not by law and all went on regularly
until an appropriation bill was passed
when the resolution became a law.
In the words OF the late Lord Sails
bury, said the speaker. the two cham
bers could not have voices in the fin
ances of the government because the
lords belonged too much to one class
and consequently in respect of a large
number OF questions. the lords are too
much of one mind
1t had been said that the house of
commons might repeal the septennial
ect; but the repeal of that act was the
very operation that the lords were
about TO perform.
Appealing to history Lord Morley de-
CARED it contained no such provoca-
tive of the fiercest conflict as that of
constitutional revision. The note had
been sounded, he added. for the angri-
est and perhaps most pronounced bat
tie.
Lord Rothschild. liberal unionist, who
is a lieutenant of the city of London,
and who spoke in the debate on behalf
of the uEionists, said the city was
ready to pay a fair share of the ma
tons expenditure. but that he was OPP
posed to many of the provisions of the
budget as they were likely to impair
credit and destroy confidence.

new FIRE WAGON HERE.
One of the Most Perfect Combination
Apparatus Yet Made.

What is said to be the finest piece
of fire apparatus of its kind in the
United States has just been de-
lfvered to the Topeka fire depart
ment and is being assembled at the
headquarters station today. The new
combination chemical and hose wagon
will be put in use at once.
This new wagon was ordered
some time ago for use at the new
station No. on the East Side 1t
was first planned by Chief Wlmarth
to have the wagon built on the same
plans as the combination apparatus at
station No. 5 but the builders in Kan
sas City were anxious to turn out
of their factory the classiest wagon
ever made and they put forth ex-
ira pains to give Topeka the best on
the market.
This is undoubtedly the best of its
kind in the country said the chief
this morning. Every new piece of
equipment is attached and the build
ers stated that they had added a few
of their own. 1t is a beautiful wagon
and will make valuable addition to
the department"
out of the headquarters station until
water mains are extended in the new
fire district. This will give the old
chemical at No 2 a rest and probably
it will be repainted and overhauled
generally the old chemical is getting
so wabbly that the firemen are afraid
to ride on it without being on the
lookout for soft place to jump.
the fire service of the city-it is a
polished metals. 1t will be a proud
bunch of firemen who make the first
run down Kansas avenue with this
new wagon.

NORMAN MINER BACK.
Placed in the County Jail-Says He
Was Driven to Desperation.

Norman Meinhold, alias Miner, So
ilcltlng manager of the Edison COM
eany who left the city some six weeks
ago after cashing several hundred
dollars worth of checks on the Capital
National bank without the formality
OF first placing there the sum involved,
was returned to Topeka at noon to-
FAY by Deputy Sheriff Lon Sauls who
went to Philadelphia after him.
Upon reaching Topeka, Meinhold
was placed in the parlor cell of the
shawnee Jail from where he summon
ed T. F. Doran for counsel.
When seen at the Jail by a reporter,
he. prisoner exhibited great remorse
and spoke feelingly. st tell YOU" he
said, II had accumulated so many
debts that I didn't know what to do
and in fact did not know what I did.
The creditors bounded me until 1 had
tC do something
IAN the checks have been paid up
With the exception of two and they did
not amount to more than $50. 1 want
tc settle everything up without any
trouble and do not believe those peo-
pie Will prosecute.
What I want to do is to get out of
Eere and win back the respect of my
friends had just gotten a fine posi-
everything l had done and they did
lot hold it against me. I will go back
as soon as 1 get out of here and go to
work and pay every cent I owe as
intended DOING
Friends of Meinhold attempted to
settle UP his accounts before Sauls left
for the eastern city but he had already
heen arrested and Sheriff Norton
thought it too late to compromise. APP
parently the charge to be preferred
against the prisoner will be but for
the $50 but that is no trif1ing charge.
The Edison people themselves it is
understood, have been interested in
squaring their former employe with
his creditors.
The wife of but a year, who was
formerly Miss Hannah Williamson of
Topeka. has gone to live with his par
ents in New York. The father of
Meinhold was in Philadelphia when
Sauls arrived there and had a habeas
corpus proceedings outlined. After a
talk with the deputy sheriff, how
ever, the action was dropped and the
prisoner consented to peaceful
journey to Topeka.

TAFT FOR A CHANGE.
President Is Determined to Have Com
merce Law Amended.

Washington. Nov. ga conference
on the amendment to be proposed by
President Taft to the interstate COM
merce act was held today at the White
House. Attorney General Wickersham,
Senator Cummins of Iowa, who will in
troduce bill of his own next week, and
Senator Elkins, chairman of the senate
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, took up the subject with the
president. The president has his mind
set on accomplishing something in con-
nection with alterations in this law and
will use every reasonable influence to
make the laws governing corporations
stronger in their control over the rail-
ways and in their benefits to the ship
ping pubic and the masses.
Senator Elkins renewed his sugges-
lions that the best way to encourage
American shipping would be to enact a
law giving a reduction of five per cent
in customs duties on all imported goods
brought into the United States in Amer
lean bottoms.
This would not only build up Ameri-
can shipping, but would be a reduction
downward in duties,'' said Senator
ElkinS.

ASK FOR INJUNCTION.
Railroads Seek to Stop Collection of
Tax on Revenues.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 29-Four railway
companies asked the United States circuit
court today to restrain the state authori-
seizure and sale of their properties on ac-
count of thei failure to pay the constitu-
tional tax of one-half of 1 per cent on
their total gross revenues. A large amount
is involved, as the state claims taxes not
only in interstate business but on the Ok
lahoma portion of interstate business en-
tering and leaving the state.
The roads declare their rights, privileges
and franchises were acquired from con-
gress prior to statehood and that the state
may not collect taxes on revenue arising
from business conducted under tt1e con-
cessions The roads in the suit are the
Santa Fe Rock Island Gulf, Colorado and
