HASKELL IN DEMAND.


Lawrence, Dec. 20.-The record OF
the Haskell football team this year
has created a place for that school
among the candidates Of many large
schools for the big Thanksgiving gay
rame. This seems to be a just reward
Tor the wonderful work the !noiAn
hovs did on the gridiron last fau.
Already seven universities ana coz
1eees have offered to play Haskeii on
that date. Manager A. M. Venne mas
corresponded with the 1oitoWlns
schools concerning the last saIne -.
the season: Notre Dame, university
of Texas. University of South Dakota'
University of Oklahoma, M1cniean
Agricultural college, Christian brotn-
ers' college, and Morningside univer
sitv of Sioux City, Iowa.
There will probably be no COMES!
between Haskell and Nebraska mex.
vear In a letter received by Manager
varne Coach Jumbo" Steihm says
that Haskell is too strong for a prac-
t;ce game and that the Cornhuskers
are IKE Haskell in this respect. sc
MANY big schools have offered tnen'
games. Due to financial consloera-
tions Haskell is not overly ANXIOUS tc

Missouri Ratio Cases Are
Brought to . Conclusion
By Dismissal Of tho Railroads.
Injunction Actions.

Kansas city. Mo-. Dec z0.-The state
of Missouri won a final victory In the
two cent railroad passenger and maxi
mum freight rate cases today wnen
Judge Smith Mcpherson OF Red OAK.
Iowa. following the mandate Of the
United states supreme court. dismissed
without prejudice" the cases filed by
Ii railroads enjoining the state from
enforcing the rate laws.
The Judge also refused to retain jur-
isdiction in the federal court as asked
by the roads. AS q result shippers ana
travellers may bring suit to cover ex-
cess rates paid during the time the in
functions were in force. These charges
are estimated to be IN excess of $10.-
100000. Judge Mcpherson ordered costs
aggregating $4,000 assessed against the
railroads.
The railroads asked Judge McPher-
son to include In the mandate q pro-
vision that all suits brought to recover
excess charges paid in. should be
brought in the federal court and that
their liability should be limited to the
$4,000 bonds they put up at the time
the injunction was granted. to guaran-
tee the payment Of excess charges. A
commissioner. to be appointed by the
court, to adjudicate thrse cls-iI1s, also
was asked. Judge Mcpherson refused
both requests. He said:
"The railroads insist that the de-
crees now to be entered should have a
reservation clause as to jurisdiction
over the parties and the subject mat
ter. Such reservation clauses are often
and wisely inserted. but both the opin-
ion and the Is mandates declared that
the cases shall be dismissed without
prejudice at the costs of the compan-
les"
The court declares he finds it his duty
to literally follow the mandate Of the
high court. 1T is said." Judge McPher-
son continues, that there will be thou
sands Of cases all over the state of
Missouri before circuit courts and JUS
tices Of the peace, for recoveries OF
| small sums from a penny to several
dollars. with after dant costs more than
the claims. II this be 80 will there
be no remedy? A discussion Of that
question is not here for decision" Qus g.
tions as to what remedy, IL any exists
Judge Mcpherson said are not for de-
cision 1T this time. In answer to the
| attorney generals brief, that his
| court was chargeab1e with delays in
| rendering decision, Judge Mcpherson
recites IN his opinion. that for two
years the state delayed appealing, and
| that the opinion OF the supreme court
| was not filed for Is months after the
| cases were argued in that court.
This court has never delayed the
| cases two months. all told, in the ag-
| grsgate. except by agreement Of coul,-

started by Larry Milton, q Drummer
for a few weeks in 1910. to the enect
that he is interested In the organi2a-
tion of the new Western association.
The Drummer boss q few years ago
was one Of the leaders in the old West
ern association. presided over by DR..
d. M. Shively Of Kansas City. and was
inst as instrumental in tearing that or
ranization to pieces when he steered
wichita and Topeka into the Western
league, thereby tearing the vttais out
of the smaller organization.
With Wichita and Topeka out OF the
league 1t was necessary to drop OK
lahoma City and Hutchinson. and the
league soon fizzled out. Now Holland
is working, with others, to organize
a similar league, with q ci--'sit At
most identical with that of the old.
except that Wichita and Topeka will
not be inclsded in 1t.
According to Milton. Holland not
only will help in the organization OF
the league, but he will have q financial
interest in one Of the clubs, 50 that he
will have a place to stow Drummer
recruits who do not show quite enough
class to help the club here.

loss is approximately $4,000. 1t Is ru-
mored the blaze was incendiary.
Nearly 10 years ago Chanute was
split in half by the railroads. Bitter
rivalry arose between. residents Of the
opposite sides. The high school. built
42 years years ago. was located on
the East side.
Last spring the rivalry came to a
head and a bond issue Of $4,000 for
building two new high schools was
passed. The buildings are about one
fourth finished.
This fire will compel the school
authorities to rent several halls to take
care Of the 800 students until the new
buildings are completed.
A travelling salesman, on his way to
catch train discovered the blaze. 1t
then was just breaking through the
roof on the north end Of the building.
Apparently 1t had started in the attic.
By the time the fire department ar
rived. the flames had spread to the
south wing. Only the brick walls are
