1T would relieve the congestion at

The state owns near 700 acres Of
fine land at Boonyille. The school is
the only institution using them.
Missouri never has had an interme-
diate prison. This explains the fact
that the state penitentiary is the larg-

THE NEWS FROM
JEFFERSON CITY
OUR RAILROAD CASES ARE EN-.
TiRELY DIFFERENT FROM
ANY OTHERS.
CAPITOL WORK IS TO BEGIN
Structural Steel Erection 10 TO Com
menoe Shortly and Contractors
Are Examining Stone for
New Statehouse.

Jefferson Clty-There Ia no paral.
lei whatever between the overcharge
cases against the Missouri and the
Arkansas railroads.
The shipper and passenger in
Arkansas were specifically protected,
not only In the original decree Of the
court, but In the bond cXacted from
the railroads operating in that state.
Not only were the railroads required
to give bonds covering estimated ex-
cess charges, but they were required
TO report monthly to the court the
amount Of excess charges collected by
them.
The bonds given by the railroads in
Arkansas are to be administered
through the federal court, and with
out information as to the details Of
Judge Trieber's injunction it must be
that individual suits cannot be main.
tanned except through his court.
In Missouri the bonds given by the
railroads under the injunction were
for court costs alone There is no
reference In the Missouri bonds to
protection OF shippers and passengers,
while tho bonds given in Arkansas
are specifically for that purpose.
The Missouri capitol building com.
mission will not solve the stone prob
lem for week or 10 days. After
swinging around the circle of the
Quarries last week, accompanied by
Architect Swartwout and Contractor
Gill. the commission held a long ex-
ecutive session here.
All the quarres are to have a fair
show at the contract for supplying the
material that will enter into the con-
struchon of the statehouse.
No one seems to have any idea as
TO what will be the final selection by
Contractor Gill. In reality, the selec-
tion lies with him, subject, OF course,
to the approval Of the commission.
The commission will receive the re-
port of the tests OF the stone made by
the experts in connection with the re-
port Of Contractor Gill when he an.
nounces his selection OF the stone to
be used
There seems to be a preponderance
of opinion that the stone will come
from the Carthage and Phoenix quar-
ries, but that is merely outside talk.
The Ste. Genevieve limestone fields
Rre believed to be the strongest COM
petitors that the southwest Missouri
quarries have in the competition.
Shipments OF the structural steel
for the capitol are expected here dur.
ing the week from the Christopher g.
Simpson works In st. Louis. where It
is being manufactured. and It's cree.
ton Is expected to begin In 10 days.

After his farm has been inspected by

Each year the department selects
tho best cooperative farm in each

Question Raised as to New Law


Jefferson City.-W. S. Hughes Of
Montgomery City, special commission
err appointed by the supreme court to
take testimony in the localoption elec.
ton contest at Mexico, fled applica.
ton for an extension OF time in which
TO make his report.
The request will be granted and
the report will not be filed until about
Feb. !.
Commissioner Hughes took the ties
timony Of Secretary of State Roach
as to the number OF signatures on the
petitions involving the referendum on
the county.unit act passed by the last
general assembly.
Secretary Roach testified as to the
filing of the petitions and their suf
ficiency as to form and the number
of signatures. The petitions are from
each of the congressional districts eX
cept the Sixteenth, in which none was
circulated.
The signatures aggregate 45,112, OF
nearly double the legal requirement
The smallest number. 2,l41, is from
the Twelfth district, and the largest
5,067, from the Fifteenth.
The chief point raised by George
Robertson and J. T. McBain of MeXl'
CO, attorneys for the vets is that
the referendum did not suspend the
operation of the county.unit act, and
IL that law was in force sufficient H.
legal votes we're cast to control the
result
The supreme court Ia disposing OF
the case, must decide when the inyok
ing of the referendum suspends the
operation of a legislative enactment
The accepted construction is that
the suspension follows automatically
the filing of petitions forcing a refer
endum. This construction is attacked
in the Mexico case.

Armed Intervention.

greatly, and this Is known to be a
fact although Mr. Wilson keeps I'D a.
brave face and insists that his policy
OF watchful waiting in the end will
win. The members of congress ire

not agree with what the president is
doing, patriotism will make them
stand back of him as long as there

No administration probably ever
was confronted by so puzzling a prob
lem as that which now looms before
Woodrow Wilson in the country south
of the Rio Grande The shadow of a
great big question mark lies athwart
the White House and the capitol.
The thought of intervention is abhor-
rent to the administration, to con-
gress and probably to the American
people. General Wood believes that
