probably to be called up on Thursday
when the legislative decks will be swept
for the initial important action of the
extraordinary session of the Sixty-sec-
ond congress. The caucus determined i
to push reciprocity and free list bill
but it was left to the ways and means
committee to decide on the priority If
the two measures. This committee by
a considerable majority already had de-
cided on reciprocity as the first meas
ure in tariff legislation. The free list
bill will be followed after a caucus -
be held two weeks hence by revision of
the wool and cotton schedules.
Bills to be regarded as party meas
tres providing for popular election of
senators, publicity before election of
campaign contributions, and statehood
for Arizona and New Mexico already
have been in the house and action on
them also is to be hastened by the ma

TO CLEAR WRECK.
Petitions in Bankruptcy Filed
Against Carnegie Officials.
Amounts Involved, Thirteen and
Half Million.

New York, April 12.-Three invol-
untary petitions in bankruptcy aggre-
eating $13, 100000 were fled here to-
day against three officers of the failed
Carnegie Trust company. now in the
hands of the state superintendent of
banks.
The respondents are William J.
Cummins, president of the Trust COM
pany; Charles Arthur Moore, jr., and
Martin ]. Condor, directors. Their
financial status is given in the petit
tions Cummins, liabilities $5,00O,0O0
and assets $40O,0OO; Moore liabilities
$2,000.00O and assets 100000; Con-
don liabilities $6.5OO.OOO and assets
$500, 900. Payson Merrill was named
receiver for all three under bonds of
100000.
The three petitioning creditors who
appear are: Hermann C. Brewster.
$50, 900; Herbert Hatfield, 1854 and
James S. Watson $SO,000, all for
money loaned.
They allege against Cummins in
their petitions that preferential pay
ments have been made since he be-
came insolvent and that there has
been transfers and concealment of
considerable property with intent to
hinder, delay and defraud creditors.
One of the lawyers for the creditors,
Samuel ]. Koenig said the actions
were not brought against the respon-
dents as directors in the Carnegie
Trust company, but as individuals.

SHOT A CAPTAIN.
Night Watchman Has Encounter
With Army Officer.
Capt. Cook, Returned Philippine
Soldier, Was on Rampage.

San Francisco. April 12.-As a re-
suit of a fight with John J. Hayes, an
aged night watchman. at an early
hour today, Captain Frank A. Cook,
subsistence officer of the comn'issary
department of the regular army, lies
dangerously wounded in the Central
emergency hospital
Geek, accompanied oy his tvs sons
and two daughters, arrived here yss-
terGey from Manila on the ira port
Sheridan. With his family he visited
relatives last night. Leaving them at
their hotel, he went to another hotel,
where, according to his story. he had
a few drinks. At 1 o'clock this norm
ing he broke in the door of a large
by John ]. Hayes, the night watch
man. Hayes claimed that he struck
Cock en- the head with his club when
the latter refused to leave the place.
According to Hayes, Cook seized the
club and returned the blow. Hayes
then fired two shots at the officer, one
penetrating his left lung and barely
missing the heart. the other gcing
wild.
At this juncture a number of police
men entered the plSse and separated
the men. Cook was Faken to the Cen
trail emergency hospital, where DIR. c..
NJ Terr:ll rrobed for the bullet. While
Terrill was operating he recognized
Cook as q brother officer who served
with him in the cam mpaign against the
Apache chief, Geronimo, in Arizona in
1885. At that time Cook was lieu
tenant of the Fourth cavalry and Ter
rill was a post surgeon.
When Captain Cook regaiEed con-
seriousness. he declared that from the
time he left the hotel his mind was a
blank, and he inquired eagerly for the
details of the fight which had led to
his wound.
He probably will recover.

NOT ENOUGH OF THE BOOKS.
Legislature Made Publication of Suffi-
cient Coburn Reports Impossible.

"It is too bad" said F. d. Coburn.
secretary of the board of agriculture
today, that the Kansas legislature
could not see its way clear to allow
the publication of sufficient copies of
the biennial report of this board to
supply the demand. Yesterday we
had two hundred requests for the
copies of the biennial. one hundred
per cent more requests than were ever
received in any one day in the history
of the board. We are filling the or
ders as fast as the books are bound,
but pretty soon the edition will be used
up and then there will be hundreds of
requests come in and We will have to
write back and tell them the edition
is exhausted and that no additional
copies can be printed"
The state allows the printer to fur
nish twenty thousand copies of the BIZ
ennial report. Within two or three
months the books are all completed
and sent out and then for a year or
more the board has to turn down the
requests for copies. A few years ago
twenty thousand copies were sufficient
to supply all the demands but at the
present time this number is not near
ly enough to fill the bill. The legisla-
ture appropriated over four thousand
dollars to pay the postage and freight
bills in sending out the reports.

Attorney General Opens Guns
on Grain Men.
Files Suit to Force Recognition
OF Inspection Law.
Id DEFENDANTS MANY.
includes Railroads as Well as
Elevator Men.
Asserted 1t Is Duty of Roads to
Collect the Fees.

John s. Dawson, attorney general
brought suit in the Kansas supreme
court today against the railroads doing
gram business from Kansas to Kan
sas City and the big grain elevators
at Kansas City to compel the elevators
to allow the inspection and weighing
OF all grain entering the Kansas City
markets by the Kansas INSPECTORS
Inc suit is brought as mandamus pro-
ceedlng against the following:

Union Pacific
Missouri Pacific.
st. Louis & San Francisco.
Missouri, Kansas & Texas.
Chicago, Great Western.

elevator.
L. ]. Brodnax and ]. A McLiney,
operating the Memphis elevator.
r. F. Atwood, operating the Rock
Island elevator.
Paul Uhlman, operating the Termi-
nal elevator.
The Santa Fe Elevator Co.
Charles Peterson, operating the
Maple Leaf elevators
The elevator companies are the ones
which gave up their licenses as public
WarehOusemen. The petition of some
produced 81 million bushels Of wheat,
1913 million bushels of corn and So mill
lion bushels of oats and that in order
to protect the grain growers of the
state the grain, inspection and weigh
ing law was enacted to provide a uni
form system of grain grading and
weighing.
1t is asserted that all the inspecting
and weighing charges are advance
charges that it is the duty of the
railroad companies to collect these
charges. The petition charges that the
railroads and the elevator men have
entered into an unlawful conspiracy to
evade the law passed by the 1911 legis-
lature raising the fees for the inspec-
tion and weighing of grain by refusing
to advise the grain inspector when the
shipment of grain is received and the
elevators refuse to allow the inspectors
warehouses. The suit is to compel the
companies to allow the inspections and
to pay the inspection charges.
The suit is the result of the row
that has been going on for some time
between the grain dealers and the
Kansas grain inspection department
The grain dealers assert that the fees
to be charged under the new law are
really confiscatory and they have re-
greatly increased over the charges fol-
the last four years.
Grounds For Suit.
The charge directly made by the at
torney general follows:
your petitioner is informed and be-
lieves that the defendants and each
of them for the purpose of evading the
provisions of the law, have conspired
connived and colluded together fol
