X. C. PEOPLE SPEAK.
Defeat Metropolitan Franchise Exten-
sion by Heavy Vote.


Kansas City. Dec. 17.-The proposition
to extend the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way com7any's franchise for Is years
was defeated at the special election
here by majority of 1901 votes:
The total vote was, 1921, 1871 being
against and 11.640 for the grant.
Th1s vas the first election ever held
under the referendum law. The vote is
considered heavy for a special election,
3S, 900
The opposition carried every ward of
the IA with the exception of the FRS.
and possibly the Sixth
The slaughter began early in the day,
and continued to the close. 1t started
in the south wards, and drifted to the
more steam. The First. Second, Third,
Fourth and Sixth wards, which were
expected to be bu1warks of strength,
were but pigmies in the struggle, and
they were buried almost out of sight
by the avalanche of Noes The
which were expected to support the
four north and west side wards in
stemmlng the onslaughts of the oppo-
sitfon also succumbed and were badly
diStanced.
1t was featureless election. and to
all appearances an honest one. The po-
lice and election commissioners had
taken unusual precaution to protect the
honesty Of the ballot-too much pre-
caution it was maintained by both sides
as ther" were complaints that the po-
lice on duty at the several polling
places were exceeding their authority
and in many instances had assumed
to act as judges and Aehallengers Com
plants of this character were mostly
from the north end wards, and some of
the south ward precincts where the
negro vote predominated. 1t has always
been assumed and taken for granted by
politicians who play the game that a
large percentage of the negro vote is
in the purchasable class. and in many
instances yesterday the impression was
sustained. Crowds Of negroes assembled
at respectful distances from the polling
places and waited for hours before they
finally cast their ballots.
There was no disorder. and only one
arrest was made for alleged Illegal vot-
ing. This was in the Second precinct
of the Second ward. The man was
taken to police headquarters, and later
released from custody. One or two
deputy election commissioners insisted
on wearing mo- buttons in the lapels
of their coats, and upon protest being
filed they were ordered to remove the
buttons. The election commissioners
construed the buttons to be a form of
electiOneering.

TOOK OFF THE SHOES.
Leslie Rogers, Aged 10. Fined and
Gives Up Stolen Property

Leslie Rogers. aged 10, charged
with petit larceny, pleaded not guilty
when arraigned in police court this
morning, but the pair of shoes which
We're the specific articles he was ac-
cused of stealing were identified by
Monroe Johnson, 1925 Monroe street,
a shoemaker, and the lad was fined
$25, also ordered by the court to
forthwith surrender the property in
question to the plaintiff.
The lad was then compelled to take
off the shoes, which he was wearing,
and in order that he might be proper
ly shod, it was found necessary for
one of the officers to visit the Provi-
dent association and obtain another
pair for his use.

student of politics and economy, and
has frequently lectured on these sub
jects in public. To broaden his grasp
of the affairs of the old world, he
visited the United States and other
countries always studying and always
adding to his store of knowledge and
philosophy. There is another side to
the new king which appeals to
popular fancy. He dearly loves clean
and healthy sport. He is an accom-
plished horseman, enjoys motoring
and has taken a fight or two in a
dirigible balloon. Democratic in his
tastes and manners he is nevertheless
a man of firm decision and kingly
dignity
While always conspicuous before the
public owing to the nature of his prl-
vate life, particularly in recent years,
King Leopold has latterly had much
of the world against him on account
of his attitude toward the Congo in
dependent state.
He Was q Great Business Man.
New York. Dec 17.-American
fnanciers who had dealings with
King Leopold during the last ten
years of his life, expresssthemselves as
having been indelibly impressed with
his remarkable business ability
Thomas F. Walsh, a Colorado mine
owner who was Interested with
Leopold in Congo mining enterprises,
is quoted as saying:
1.-The king was moro like an Amer
lean than any man 1 met abroad. and
he had a great turn for business
J. Pierpont Morgan, who had fire.
quently dealings with the monarch,
is reported to have expressed the
opinion that the king of the Belgians
was the greatest business man he
had ever met.
Thomas F. Ryan. is another New
York financier who came to know
King T<eoDo1d very we'll Mr. RYAN
obtained from the king the exclusive
right to gather rubber over a vast
area in the Congo and also Joined with

BETTER FOR CONGO.
Improvement Is Looked for Under the


London, Dec. lit is thought here
the death of King Leopold can have lit
tie effect on the political situation of
Europe apart from the withdrawal
from the scene of the man who knew
the innermost secrets of every state
and whose intellectual and practical
talents, especially in former years, were
drawn upon frequently by brother SOW
ereigns.
All comment here lays at Leopold's
door the responsibility for barbarities
committed in the Congo and it is be-
lieved his removal will be followed By
new methods of administration in that
colony. 1t is understood that his sue
cessor on. the throne profited greatly by
his recent tour of Africa and that he
will be more plant in agreeing to re-
forms than was his maSterful uncle
With the death of Leopold, the lease
of the Lado enclave expires and Great
Britain will resume sovereignty on be-
half of the Soudan. This enclave was
leased to Leopold during his life to give
the Congo access to the Nile.
1t was felt in this country that it
was a good stroke of policy, at a time
when the relations between England
and France were strained, to give an
independent power a firm footing i'll
the upper reaches of the waterway the
possession of which was then debatable
The lease led to friction at times as the
methods of Congo administration
spread through Lado
The death of the king had less effect
on the stock exchange than had been
anticipated. The shares of some of the
African mines in which Leopold had
large holdings dropped fraction, but
| recovered, and the market does not ex-
pect much of this stock to be offered.
! The easing of prices here when his
| Illness first became acute was more in
anticipation of selling on the Paris
! bourse than because of the actual offer
