Topeka, Aug At now seems likely
that the Kansas delegation in the
lower house of congress will be com
posed of six progressives and two
standpatters. Indications point to the
defat of Thomas A. McNeal by a small
majority.
Stubs Vote Growing.
The indications from the incomplete
returns, on which estimates are based
are that w. R. Stubs has carried the
state for governor by $4,000. 1t may
go to 10000. Returns from Sc counties
were received today in sufficient mum
bers to figure percentages and make
estimates of the probable majorities.
In the First District.
At noon the returns, practically com
plete, gave d. r. Anthony for congress
in the First Kansas district, ma
1ority over T. A. McNeal of 1869. The
. official returns will only slightly re
duce this majority.
Anthony has carried the following
SOuhhiOo W biCoO
jorities: Leavenworth, 500; Atchison
1924; Brown, 20; Doniphan, 485;
Jackson, %; a total OF majorities OF
3,734
McNeal has carried Nemaha county
by ESQ; Jefferson, 225; Shawnee, 1900;
a total of majorlties of 2,G75, giving
Anthony a clear majority in the dis
trict of 1859.
In tie Second district the fight Is
close, but Mitchells defeat of Scott is
practically assured Mitchell has car
ried Wyandotte, Douglas and Frank
lin by so large majorities that SCOTS
vote in the smaller counties cannot
over come it.
In the Third Campbell will have al
most the usual Republican vote.
In the Fourth district Fred S. Jack
son Is running away with Miller, car
rying Morris county. Miller's home, by
a good majority and 1t Is estimated
that Jackson will have at least 5000
votes to spare.
Calderhead is defeated in tie Fifth
by more than 1000 He carried his
own town by only 60 votes, the com
plete returns giving Calderhead 11S
and Rees 81 in Marysville. Rees is
running like a scared wolf in every
county in the district, the returns
showing a probable majority of 2 to !
in Riley, Saline and Washington coun-
ties and small maporities in Republic
and Clay counties. The other counties
have not reported returns of much
value
In the Sixth District Young, insur.
gent, has carried Lincoln, Jewell and
counties by safe majorities and he's
probably beaten both Reeder and
Hays B. White, his opponents.
In the Seventh district Madison,
progressive, had no opposition, nor did
Murdoch, progressive in the Eight.
No interest was shown by the Pro
hibitionists in their primary. Per.

CITYS VICTORY OVER
S. P. PLEASES OFFICIAL
Future Councils Restricted in Dis
posaI of Streets

City Attorney Hewitt was in joy
full mood yesterday because of the de-
cision of the supreme court denying a
rehearing to the Southern Pacific rail-
road on the Alhambra street case.
This means that this case, which has
been in litigation for several years,
is ended and that future city councils
have no right to give entire streets
to railroad or other corporations, how
ever friendly they may be to those
corporations.
When the Southern Pacific asked ad-
mission to Los Angeles in 1879 the
city council was too overjoycd at haV-
ing a transcOntinental railroad that 1t
far exceeded its authority and granted
a franchise on Alhambra street that
practically decided that street to the
railroad. The Southern Pacific laid
two tracks on the street and then some
years later laid a third track. Thls
third track made the street impossible
for traffic and injured property owners
in East Los Angeles. The property
owners made protest to the council
and the council instructed the city at
torney to bring suit The suit was
brought and Judge ID. Is. Trask, VINO
was then on the superior bench, de-
cided against the city because of the
ordinance passed originally. The city
carried the case to the supreme court
contending that the council had eX-
ceeded it's authority in passing the or
dinance and the supreme court re-
versed the decision of Judge Trask.
After the city had won its case the
railroad petitioned for a rehearing, w.
f. Herrin, the railroads chief counsel
at San Francisco, and j. w. Mckinley,
it's counsel in Los Angeles, both ming
netitions. These petitions were denied

the case is ended with the city the

PERMIT FOR HAMBURGER
TUNNEL UP TO COUNCIL

Does the tunnel the Hamburger
Realty company proposes to construct
in Broadway to connect the Hamburg
er department store building and the
Hamburger theater require franchise
or simply an excavation permit?
The board of public works puzzled
itself into a headache over this ques-
ton yesterday afternoon, but arrived
at no conclusion. Finally the board
solved the difficulty, as far as it is
concerned, by sending the application
for the tunnel back to the city coun-
ell, with the report that if a franchise
was required there was no objection to
it from a standpoint of public works
and that if no franchise was required
the street department would issue an
excavation permit.
