ings here today.
Warren 8. Stone, grand chief en-
gineer of the Brotherhood Of Loco

no changes In the situation. I am
willing to wait a couple of days for
Commissioner reill to recover, but
IT must be understood that unless a
settlement is reached before the end
of the week, the railroads will have

the pertinent inquiry as to whether
that man should be compelled to in
stitute habeas corpus proceedings
before this same judge and upon its
denial have to wait until an appeal
could be heard in the supreme court.

Reverting to a discussion of the
reasons advanced by the court for
the denial of the writ. Justice King
INDUCES I'm little sarcasm. Re-
ferring to the reason advanced that
1t was not the Intention OF the franz
ers of the amendment to thrust
upon the court the burden OF hear
ing the various proceedings, he
says, that II is not for the court to
say what burdens shall be thrust
upon 1t by the law makers. Re-
ferrlng to the statement made that
the defendants have a remedy by
instituting habeas corpus proceed
ings IN the circuit court, or by APP
peal to the supreme court he points
out the delays which would be ex-
perienced; and referring to the
statement that they have remedy
by having the judgment corrected
he calls attention to the ridiculous
ness of court suggesting that a
defendant may bring action to have
what Is an unlawful Imprisonment
made lawful.
The contention of Lord in the case
was that the imprisonment was un-
lawful because the defendants are

incarcerated in the state prison with
out Limitation of time and there Is
no mention made of which crime
they were convicted. 1t is admitted
that unless the defendants either
have the judgment corrected or in
stitute some proceedings for their
release that they will find them
selves in the position of serving In
the penitentiary without end OF
time as there is nothing in the judg-
ment to indicate when they shall be
released. The offense for which
they were convicted was shop-lifting

isdiction. denies the writ.
Justice Eakin in a written opinion
In which additional authorities are
cited concurs with that written by
Justice Mcbride.
A Step Backward, Says King.
"In conclusion, deem, the re-
suit announced by my associates a
long stride toward suspension OF
the habeas corpus; 1t is a step back
wards in the progress of law, and.
think, clearly inconsistent with
the spirit and reason OF the habeas
corpus provision of the judicial
amendment to our constitution. The
writ should issue and the final out
come be determined upon the show
ing made thereby"
The foregoing are the concluding
words in a long dissenting opinion
rendered by Justice King. and in It
he cites much authority in support
of his position.
As to whether the habeas corpus
proceedings is appellate in nature
and as to the effect OF the amend
ment upon the courts of the state
he expresses no opinion, but takes
tho position that regardless of these
facts the writ should have Issued.
After discussing and quoting emf
nent authority upon the subject OF
the liberty of the citizen, and all Of
which are to the effect that It should
be protected and safe guarded to the
utmost. he enters upon discussion of
the word discretion as used In the
amendment. "Writs." he says, ARE
often denied by the exercises Of
sound discretion. but have yet the
first case to fnd where the Issuance
OF writ is denied in an appellats
court to one imprisoned in the peni-
tentiary upon a void Judgment"
II understand" he continues,
"the rule supported by the great
weight of authority TO be that, re-
gardiess OF the right OF the petition
er 20 apply TO lower courts for the
writ. appellate courts refuse orig
inai Jurisdiction only In cases where
Il appears that civil rights are con-
|cerned."
Object to Avoid Delays.
The object OF the amendment. he
contends. In his opinion was to
avoid the delays which are made In
c,dent 70 appeals from the lower
courts to the supreme court. Espec-
tally. he says. Is that the object -
habeas corpus proceedings, and n
was the delays experienced by iiti-
sants In the centuries gone by that
brought about the enactment OF the
first habeas corpus law. AS an H.
lustration OF the delays experienced
under the present judicial system of
the state he cites the case OF Isaack-
son VS.. Stevens. an Oregon habeas
corpus case The case first came up
in the lower court on February is,
1909. and a writ was applied for In
the circuit court but denied. An ap-
peal was taken TO the supreme court

Kansas School lands Sell.

Topeka.-More school lands were
patented in Kansas in the 1910 fiscal

From Douglas and Riley.

Topeka.-Up to this time there
have been AZ cases of infantile par
alysis in Kansas this year. This Is
shown by report just issued by the
state board of health. The board has
ceased to give out information about
the disease except in the form OF
monthly reports, having been cen
sured by physicians and others for
frightening the people.
The report also shows that 10 OF
those stricken with the disease this
year have died. In Brown county
there have been four cases and one
death, in Chautauqua two cases and
one death, in Kingman one case and
one death, in Mcpherson five cases
and one death, in Nemaha one case,
in Phillips four cases and two deaths,
IN Pottawatomie two cases, in Reno

and the gradient 1 in 25 represents
their combined strength in clay,
hence after this gradient is reached
drainage becomes very, very slow, and
the water table stands in this irregu-
lar shape until lowered by evaporation
from the soil and plants. But during
the months of April. May and some.
times June, when the rains supply at
the surface all the water needed for
evaporation, none is drawn from be.

KIDDING FARM
OF GRASSHOPPER
Eavorite Remedy, Recommended
BY Colorado Agricultural
College Is Arsenic
Bran Mash.

CBy s. ARTHUR JOHNSON, Colorado
Agricultural College)
In spite of the fact that a great
deal of work has been done by exper-
iment stations on grasshoppers, no
royal road to control has yet been
found Each attack has to be con-
sidered on its own merits and relief
sought through the most promising
channel
One of the favorite remedies is ar.
senic bran mash. This is made by
mixing one pound of white arsenic
with rs pounds of bran. The ar
senic is so near the color of the
flour in the bran that 1t is not easy to
tell when the mixing is well done. To
overcome this difficulty, the arsenic
may first be collected by adding a lit
tie dry paint.
After the bran and arsenic are well
mixed they should be moistened with
water. Put in just enough to make
the particles stick together. This
mixture should be scattered where
