THEY MUST PAY KANSAS hiISSESIT
State Auditor After Delinquent
School Funds.
Twenty.Three Counties Owe
State $35,sO3.

Kansas counties which have a de-
must send the money to the state aud
itor at once or the claims will be turn
ed over to the attorney general for
legal action. That is the sentiment con-
tanned today in a letter written by
State Auditor w. E. Davis to county
treasurers of % counties which owe the
state $35, S03.53 for school lands.
For several years there have been
discrepancies in the. school land ac-
counts. In 1911 the legislature made an
appropriation for an investigation of
these claims. The state accountants
office investigated the school land pay
ments in % counties and reported de-
ficiencies aggregating $36, 830.76. Since
that time two of the counties have
paid up and another has promised to
do so.
But there is still more than $35, 900
outstanding and an effort will be made
to recover the money this spring. If
it is not paid in, the claims will be
turned over to the attorney general
for action. These discrepancies have
occurred-many of them several years
ago-through errors in bookkeeping
and accounting. But the state is enti-
tied to the money and will try to make
collections. Only two counties owe the
state more than $1,000 each on school
land claims. They are Greenwood and
Barber counties. In other counties
the claims amount to from $500 to $4,000
each

RECEIVERS AT WAR levers in A FIGHT
Federal and State AppOintees
Contest for Gas Company.
Array of Legal Talent on Dis
play in MarshalI's Court.

Kansas City, April 4.-Arguments
in question whether receivers appoint
ed by Judge Pollock of the federal
courts or those named by Judge Elan
nelly of the Montgomery county Kan
sas district court shall have jurisdic-
ton over the Kansas Natural Gas
company We're begun today before
Judge John Marshall of the federal
bench of Utah in Kansas City, Kan.
Judge Flannelly put in a claim of
prior jurisdiction before Judge Pol
lock several days ago Judge Pollock
refused to pass upon the case and at
his request another judge was named
to adjudicate the jurisdiction question.
Attorneys for the federal receivers
today were John F. Philips, formerly
a federal judge, and John T. Jones.
Charles Blood Smith appeared for the
complainants who sought the original
receivership in the federal court.
The district court receivers were
represented by John H. Atwood of
Kansas City, Attorney General John
Dawson of Kansas and Chester I.
Long, former United States senator
from Kansas.
Dawson Appears for State.
Attorney General Dawson, arguing
for the state of Kansas and the dis
trict receivers said the action before
Judge F'lannelly in which the district
receivers were appointed had been ar
ranged SIX Gays before receivers were
appointed by Judge Pollock and that
there was not sufficient reason for
haste shown in connection with the
federal receivership.
Attorney General Dawson's argu-
ment consumed two hours. He was
followed by John t. Jones, attorney
for the federal receivers.
Attorney General Dawson in his ar
gument made the charge that the gas
company had sought federal receivers
in order to avoid action already pend
ing in the district court. Judge Pol
lock- he said, had been imposed upon
by officers and persons interested in
the company. He formally asked the
dismissal of the federal receivers. Mr..
Jones, representing the federal receiv
ers, gave their version Of the history
of the company and decided that the
federal receivership was necessary to
preserve the property. He said that
under this receivership, 100000 had
been expended in Oklahoma extending
the pipe lines so that more gas might
be had for Kansas City and the many
Kansas cities. He denied that there
was any collision or attempt to avoid
the Kansas courts when receivers were
sought before Judge Pollock. He in
turn asked the dismissal of the Kan
sas receivers.

Chicago Cubs Trainer Lands
on Managers Jaw.
Said That JOhnny's Temper
Causing Lots of Trouble.

Chicago, April 4.-Alleged dissension
between Manager Evers and mem bers
of the Chicago National league base
ball club came to a head with the re-
turn of the team here today after a
weeks training trip when Trainer
the form of a blow to the managers
jaw. The fight occurred as the train
was pulling into this city from Kan
sas City. The Journal this afternoon
declared the training trip has not been
as harmonious as had been reported
Evers, the Journal learns from persons
who took the trip has not been able
to control his temper and there have
been numerous minor squabbles. The
new manager is said to have been
rather sharp in his criticism and has
engaged in feuds with newspaper cor
respondents as well as with members
of his squad.
While there were no open outbreaks,
resentment was obvious and Sermons
brought the affair to a crisis today.
The fight started when Evers asked
Sermons if he had ordered the team to
report for practice this afternoon. The
trainer replied that he gave such in
structions when instructed to do so
by the manager. At this Evers lost
his temper, and is said to have APP
piled foul language to the trainer. The
latter replied with his fist and Evers
fell over into seat. The players ended
the fray and prevented further dam
age. Evers was not knocked out but
was pretty well shaken up by the
punch. He admitted using the language
to which Sermons objected but said he
did not mean it the way the trainer
took it.
Sermons left the squad at the rail-
way station. He said Tinker wanted
him at Cincinnati. Sermons added
that he would sign contract to train
the Cincinnati team.
