STRING ON KANSAS NATURAL
Judge Mcpherson Retains Right to
Assume Control Of Gas coH-
pany Affairs. 49,

Kansas City, Jan. 26.-The property
of the Kansas Natural Gas Company
and more than ~ million dollars for
gas consumed was transferred from
the hands of the federal receivers to
the Kansas state receivers by Judge
Smith Mcpherson in the federal court
here. But Judge Mcpherson wrote
into the order clause retaining the
right to assume control of the gas
company through federal receivers
any time he should see fit. He ac-
cepted the resignation of two of the
federal receivers, but retained George
Sharritt, the third.
The reserve clause was written
into the order almost as an after
thought. 1t came as surprise to the
attorneys OF the various contending
interests, to whom the other contents
OF the order was an open secret.

RAILROAD WANTS 1 aENlRo||
TO ARGUE THE NJ, K.s& I. CLAIM
SOON. N VI
Government Offered Oklahoma Lard
to Road Builders, and Hasn't
Fulfilled Contract.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The claim o.
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rail
way Company to $62,O00,000 damages
against the government for the lat
ters failure to turn over alternate
sections of land along its line, through
Oklahoma, will furnish one Of several
important oral arguments to be made
before the supreme court.
The railways claim arises out Of
the spectacular railway building race
fostered by the government in 1866.
In that year congress offered to
grant alternate sections Of land, as
soon as the Indian title thereto
should be extinguished, along line
of railroad to be constructed across
the present state of Oklahoma to Den
ison, Tex, to the first railroad to
build a line from the eastern terminus
of the Union Pacific ON the Kansas
and Missouri state lines to the south
ern line of Oklahoma.
The race was open to three rail-
roads, the Kansas & Neosha Valley,
the Leavenworth, Lawrence & Fort
Gibson and the Union Pacific. The
Kansas & Neosha, which since has
become the Missouri, Kansas & Texas.
won. The government has not, how
ever, turned over the land, contending
that the land in question never be-
came a part OF the public lands of the
United States. The railroad asks $40
an acre damages. The court of claims
decided against it.

new JOB FOR COL. COCKTAILS
NEW YORK WANTS CANAL BUILD
Err FOR POLICE HEAD.
Army Officer Would Accept Mayor
Mitchei's Offer II Certain Con.
ditions Are Fulfilled.

Panama, Jan. 24.-Col. George w.
Goethals, chief engineer of the Pan.
ANA Canal, recently was rendered the
position of police commissioner of
New York City by Mayor Mitchell, and
in reply to the letter sent him by the
mayor, through George w. Perkins
signified his willingness to accept the
post under certain conditions. These
conditions We're that he should be
permitted to remain on the lsthmus
successful operation, and that he be
given complete control over the po-
lice department.
Colonel Cocktails, in his letter to
Mayor Mitchell, said that under no
circumstances would he accept the
commissionership unless these condi-
tons We're agreed to. He added that,
as he would still be an army officer
after his work here was completed,
he would not resign in order to &C.
cept Mayor Mitchel's offer, but that
he would take the position If Presi-
dent Wilson gave him permission to
retire.
Colonel Goethals insisted he must
have complete control over the police
department in case of his acceptance,
including the right to dismiss incom-
petent men without their having the
right to appeal to court which would
have the power to annul his dis
miSSals.
In other words, he demanded that
the law which gives the courts the
right, on appeals from the commits
sioner's decision, to review cases and
reinstate men with back pay, he re-
pealed by the legislature.
Colonel Goethals said that the con.
ditions he imposed seemed u. prac-
ticany preclude his becoming the head
of the New York police department.
When the offer was first made. he
said, it looked attractive to him, but
investigation showed him that the
police commissioners powers were
too limised to make it possible to car
ry into effect reforms such as he
might propose.
