PURCHASE BY MORGAN
OF Six Telephone Companies
Arouses Suspicion.
Transaction Believed to Be i'm
Interest of the Bell.

New York. Feb. 9.-A group of de-
termined lawyers from the aggressive
states of Missouri and Ohio, have
just reached New York prepared to
tackle what they term the telephone
trust. In its strictly legal form, the
case at issue is based on the suit of
stockholders in the United States tele-
phone company and the Cuyahoga
telephone company who obtained in
the state courts at Cleveland an in
Junction restraining the transfer and
delivery of stock in those independent
companies bought a few months ago
by j. p. Morgan & Company.
The lawyers came to New York to
take important dispositions. The
states which they represent take the
position that they must be shown that
the purchase by Mr.. Morgan of six
telephone companies in Ohio and In
diana was strictly for himself and
not for the Bell interests

BOYS MONOPLANE.
Smallest Practical Machine in World
Equipped by Youths.

Montclair, N. J., Feb. s.-The small
est practicable monoplanes in the world
and one of the first to be equipped
with device calculated to preserve an
even keel in the most trying winds, is
the product of the ingenuity of two IL
year-o1d lads. Harry Bruno and Ber-
nard H. Mahon of Montclair-
A device to prevent the overturning
of a monoplane has long been worked
or by aeronautic experts without sue
cess. The boys think they have solved
the problem and wait for the time to
come when they can make the first
public trial.
The monoplane is IA feet long and IA
feet wide. RaouI Vendome, the French
aviator, has used a machine 16 feet by
is, which was generally considered as
small as a monoplane could be: When
equipped with a gasoline engine the
machines total weight will be only $50
pounds.
Most of the money the boys have
used in the project they made them
selves two years ago in business
they built up of selling miniature ap-
paratus for sending and receiving wire
less messages.

SEINE ON THE RISE.
Another Flood in Paris Is Predicted
by Friday.

Paris, Feb. 9.-The River Seine has
risen inches during the "a hours
ending at noon today owing to yes
terday's rain and melting snow. The
photographic department predicts a
continued rise until Friday when it
will reach height of more than %
feet at the Pont Royal and equal to
flood level of 1882
Although confident there is no dam
ger of a repetition of the recent dis
aster. the authorities are taking thor
ough precautions. The level of the
parapets at low places through the
length of the city are being hastily
raised by improvised dikes. The re-
turn of high water threatens to great
ly retard the work! of repair which
was in progress. The waters, which
had dropped below the mouths of the
sewers are again pouring into the
conduits drowning the electric light
and power lines in the vicinity of the
Place De LOpera. ~
While service has been resumed on
several sections of the subway, the
management holds no hope that the
main line passing st. Lazare station
will be restored for another month.

the 25th day of August, 1908, the first
Republican party council of this state
met in the city of Topeka 1t was a

was the only man in the council that
voted against that platform.
HE is now doing everything in his
power to nu1lify one of the important
planks Of the Republican declaration
and has succeeded in preventing the
successful operation of this law ena,.t &c
by Republican legislature.
Having shown one instance at leasi
where Mr.. Long himself opposed a Re-
publican principle in Kansas I chal
lenge him to show where I have de-
parted in any way from any principle
in the Republican platform.
"Will Senator Long deny the PROPOSE
tion that the latest declaration of the
Republican party is the best evidence
of what the Republicans in this state
stand for?
Does Senator Long hold that the
declarations of the old caucus and con
vention system made years ago still
must be the rule to determine wha
Republicanism is?
''Is it not a fact, Mr.. Long, that yol
