DIG UP OLD CASE
Bank Guaranty Suit Three
Years Old Reappears.
Christmas Greeting for Attor-
ney General Dawson.

One of the bank guaranty cases,
which state officials believed had long
since been disposed of, has been found
on the docket of the United States
supreme court and set for hearing in
January. That was the Christmas in
formation that came to Attorney Gem
eral John S. Dawson today. Both
Dawson and Bank Commissioner ]. N.
Dolley believed that the case had been
disposed of months ago.
In 1909 and 1910, after the passage of
the bank guaranty law, three suits
were filed against Bank Commissioner
Dolley to sidetrack the operation of the
new banking law. One suit was filed
by a state bank, one by a stockholder
of a state bank; and a third case was
filed by the Abilene National bank The
first two suits were disposed of in st.
Paul a year ago, when Judge Hook
handed down a decision in favor Of the
state
1t was believed that the three cases had
been disposed of at the same time. But
the records show differently. And now
Dawson must hasten to write brief for
the pending litigation. In the Abilene
case, the national bank pleads that since
it is a federal institution that it cannot
come in under the provisions of the guar
anty law and that thereby its prestige is
in a manner destroyed. A question is
raised as to whether the Kansas guaranty
law impairs the efficiency of a national
bank as financial agency or the federal
government. On this issue the case will
be fought out in the highest court of the
land. Judge Pollock, who originally
heard arguments in the case. denied the
application of the state when it filed
motion TO quash the proceedings.
The cases were begun under the admin
istration of Fred s. Jackson as attorney
general. G H. Buckman and the late A.
c. Mitchell were employed as special
counsel for the state and the 1911 legisla-
ture set aside an appropriation for their
services.

DOING IT EARLY.
And Railroads and Express Com
panies Approve.

Holiday business is at least twenty
per cent greater this season than for
the year of 1911. This statement is
made by the agents of the xepress and
made by the agents of the express and
of them agree on the subject
The rush this season is but little
greater than on former occasions but
it started in several days earlier than
usual. The people did a large part of
the shopping early.
The ticket agents of the various
railroad lines make statements which
are. practically the same as those of
the express companies. Tom King of
the Santa Fe asserted that he expect
ed the holiday business to eclipse all
former records. He says that a large
number of people will leave or come
to the city to spend the holidays and
that all trains are loaded to capacity.
People began shopping early and
are going away on their holiday vaca-
ton early. Holiday vacationists be-
gan leaving or coming to the city at
least a week or ten days ago and the
travel increases every day.
Similar statements have been made
by the ticket agents of other lines.

PRAISE BOWMAN
Board of Control Chairman
Has Collected $1SO,OOO.
Attorney General Dawson Pays
Compliment to Work.

When Harry c. Bowman, chairman
of the board of control, complained
that the members of all parties and
all factions had deserted him and
were praying for his removal, he for
got Attorney General John S. Dawson.
The attorney general has written a
supplemental section to his biennial
report and points out the fact that
Bowman has been almost entirely re-
sponsihle for the collection of $780,
900 in claims and fees which nave
been turned over to the state.
Dawson, who is a Republican and
likewise a progressive one, says some
nice things about Bowman in his re-
port, In mentioning the work of his
own office, Dawson reminds the state
that under his administration the at
torney generals office has collected
$5,534.95 from the state of Oklahoma
for the care of Oklahoma prisoners in
the Kansas penitentiary and that ST.
OS5S1 in addition to that amount has
been collected from Day county, Ok
lahoma That is not all. Dawson Sc
cured a judgment for $15.346.6S
against the Blanchard Construction
company for failure to comply with a
contract to erect certain buildings at
the State Agricultural college in Man
haitian.
Referring to Bowman's work on
the board of control, Dawson says:
During my term the state has re-
covered ABOUT S1oO,OOO.OO from Cue
estates of insane persons for their
care and keeping at state hospitals.
These collections have been made in
lawsuits or simple demands in my Of
fetal name, but the work of collection
has been done almost entirely by Har-
ry G. Bowman, esquire, chairman of
the board of control. Mr.. Bowman
happens to be competent and indus
trious lawyer, fully advised of all
these claims of the state by virtue of
his official position, and my connec-
ton with the collections has been lit
tie more than nominal. The state has
certainly had a profitable servant in

Charity Proposition in Topeka That
Needs Support.

To the Topeka State Journal:
In order that 1 may interest your many
readers in the welfare of the Kansas
colored orphans home, I wish, to tell
through your paper of the work we are
doing. We have had a house rented for
about six months, during which time we
have been caring for children, old folk.
destitute strangers and other charitable
work. At the present time we have in

we need more. The Provident association

the merits of the work being done by the

CREAMERY TO RECEIVER
Producers Company Could Not Make
Ends Meet in Topeka.

Their dream of building up profit
able business by manufacturing and
selling butter from milk furnished by
their own cows ended, a loyal but dis
couraged bunch of Shawnee county
farmers today saw their pet concern,
something of their own making, pass
into the hands of a receiver named
by Judge A. w. Dana of the first
division of the district court. NJ. o.
Keefe was named receiver and he has
instructions to sell the property to
satisfy the demands of the creditors.
The Producers Creamery company
was intended to be just what the
name implies. 1t was organized by
Shawnee county farmers for the pur-
pose of selling their products and
making the profit of the middIeman
as we'll as whatever they would make
as farmers. And for time the pros
pect was bright.
Today receivership proceedings
were instituted by Bessie Lowe, who
filed an action in the district court
alleging that the company owed her
$50 for wages as a bookkeeper. She
also alleged that she owned four
shares of stock in the company of a
par value of $40 and that the affairs
of the company were being misman-
aged. The receiver was then ap-
pointed. His bond was fixed at $500.

Chicago Police Discover Two of
Them in a Closet
While Exploring Rendezvous
of a RObber Band.
THEY WERE STANDING ERECT
Surrounded by Richly Beaded
Gowns.
Eight Arrests Made for the
Murder Of LOgue.

Chicago, Dec 21.-The discovery
of two human skeletons in the
north side flat which served as
rendezvous for gang of rob-
series of sensations which attended the
police investigation of the murder OF
Joseph P. Logue. the diamond mer-
chant. The skeletons were found in a
closet of the flat where the officers
also discovered a small arsenal, many
gems of various value and the para
phernalia of professional burglars.
Erect in one corner of the closet, the
skeletons were surrounded by richly
beaded gowns and elegant clothes of
many sorts.
Arrests of eight persons in connection
with the murder were followed by the
discovery of evidence showing several
of them to be riminals. The police
declare they not only expect to con-
meet the prisoners with the death of
Logue but also with many other re-
cent crimes.
A wagon load of loot was taken from
the flat during the day. A coincidence
that detectives assign to the suspects
under arrest developed during the in
vestigation of the flat
Immediately beneath the apartment
of the suspects. G. R. Worsley, pri-
vate detective, lived with his family.
Wednesday night burglars gained en-
trance to his fiat, and although there
was considera BILE jewelry in the bed
rooms the intruders took only two
magazine revolvers.
Logue, who was shot, stabbed and
beaten to death in his Office, in the
McVicker theater building, it was
learned. figured in police affairs ten
years ago when a New York jewelry
salesman suddenly disappeared with
a satchel full of valuable gems. Sub
sequently the gems were found in
Logue's possession according to the po-
lice. The police are working on a
theory that the persons who killed
Logue came to his store with the in
tention of disposing of some stolen
jewelry but became involved in a quar-
rel with the ieweler and killed him.
