police Wednesday evening when, it is
alleged, he became too handy with a

they arrived, they claim, Curley had
just finished shooting out a couple of
windows in his sisters house and was
making things warm generally. The
warrant charged Curley with assault
with intent to kill Leonard McCul-
Tough, who, it is alleged, was too close
to the business end of the shotgun
when Curley pulled the trigger.

night.
No official statement of the result
of the conference was issued, but it
was said authoritatively that the pas
senger rate increases were rejected in
toto and that there was considerable
difference of opinion as to what ex-
tent the freight rate increases were
not satisfactory. The general commit

officials and legal representatives adj
journed late Wednesday.
The subcommittee of freight traf-
fic men and attorneys of several of
the roads. however, still was in session
last night. Some of the freight traf-
fic men, it was said, were satisfied
with the freight rate increases, others
were satisfied with some features of
the authorized schedule, while still
others said that the freight rate in
creases, like the passenger rate in
creases were inadequate. M
The present passenger rate of Mis-
souri, is two cents a mile. The in
creased rates authorized by the COM

While many nationalities and ages

Litigants VIII Receive Money
That Is Long Overdue.
The Supreme Court Clerk Has
$4,000 to Distribute.

Supreme court litigants and claim
ants are beginning to receive pay
ments on accounts due them many
years ago. Recently payments have
been made to a number of litigants
whose cases before the supreme court
were settled or disposed of ten or
twenty years ago. but who had failed
to receive the fees due them or cost
funds deposited with the court.
Payments are being made by D. A.
Valentine. clerk of the supreme court
IN accordance with a recommended
ton made two years ago by Jasper
T. Kincaid, then state accountant
Among supreem court justices and at
tacheS there is a general impression
that Clerk Valentine will pay out all
or the delinquent fees and funds held
by him. The money has been in his
possession for a number of years.
Neither the state nor the litigants have
received interest on the money.
Nearly two years ago the state ac-
countant reported to Governor Hodges
that Valentine had in his possession
nearly $4,000 which was subject to
distribution among claimants The
money, the report stated, was depos-
tied in banks in which the supreme
court clerk was a stockholder and
kincaid asserted that he was unable
to obtain history of the accounts
or their use. The supreme court de-
ferred action until few months ago.
Then, when Valentines name was sug-
gested for reelection. he was chosen
to succeed himself. Following the re-
election of Valentine, 1t was stated
that the fee question was never inVes-
tigated by the court
The fee fund now in possession of
the supreme court clerk amounts to
several thousand dollars at this time
Some of the money is due 1itigants
other accounts are due sheriffs and
attorneys. Some of the claimants are
dead. Others have left the state. For
that reason the delay in distributing
the long overdue fund may now occa-
sion trouble in sending remittances to
persons entitled to the money.

Santa Fe Boat Is Now Located in a
Texas Farmyard

A. F Robinson, bridge engineer of
the Santa Fe railway, was in Topeka
today on his way to Chicago from
Galveston, where he was called into
conference about the great causeway
across Galveston bay, which was put
out of commission by the recent
storm Estimates of the repairs
range from a million to two and
half million dollars, according to the
plans submitted. The Santa Fe,
Southern Pacific and Interurban lines
will pay half the bill and Galveston
city and county the other half. At
present traffic is handled over a tres
tie erected by the Santa Fe.
Mr.. Robinson says that conditions at
Galveston are nearly normal The
grain elevators, which were badly
damaged, have been repaired, and are
now loading ships as rapidly as the
ocean transportation companies can
supply them. There still is some con-
gestion at Galveston, but it is being re-
lieved more rapidly than is similar
congestion at other ports.
The Santa Fe owns a steamer at
GaIvestOn-the Featherstone- Mr.
Robinson declares that the steamer
now is high and dry on a farm nearly
two miles from the bay. An insur-
ance company is trying to determine
whether to pay for the steamer or

WHAT WAR MOVES MEAN.
BY j. w. f. MASON.

rs New York, Dec. 16.-The British
governments resolve to purchase
American securities held abroad, is a
substitute proposal for the policy of
thrift and boycott of commodities i'm
ported from America which lately
have been urged upon the people of
Great Britain.
There are four possible ways for
Great Britain to pay the United States
for the enormous quantities of war
supplies which America is making for
the Allies. The first method, to pay
outright in gold, is impractical be-
cause of the enormous difficulties in
the way of gathering SO great a guam
uty of the monetary metal. This leaves
but three practicable methods: The
issuance of a loan in America; the
dispatch to America of goods made in
Great Britain; and the offer to Amer
ica to purchase Americas own Securi-
ties held abroad.
A loan has just been taken up by
American investors, but it has not
provided enough credit to meet the
British Indebtedness. So many Brit
war supplies at home that it is i'm
possible for Great Britain to increase
her exports to the United States to pay
for American munitions.
1t would be possible to make the
present exports serve as payments for
munitions if the people of the United
States were to reduce their American
purchases of goods not war supplies
America would continue TO receive
British exports just the same and in
place of the curtailed American prod
ucts customarily sent to Great Britain
in exchange for war munitions paid for
by the British, exports could be sent
But the British nation does not want
to do without it's American goods.
Despite every plea, the purchases con-
tinue. The British government, there
fore, cannot hope to take care of
American liabilities by readjusting the
ordinary process of commercial ex-
changes between the two countries.
The British people do not see the ne
cessity of economizing to this extent.
The British government, therefore,
has adopted the final choice. Instead
of attempting to place a new loan in
the United States, it has, in effect, is
sued domestic loan, and, with the
proceeds, is buying American secur1-
ties which America must accept as
payment for the allies war orders. 1t
is probable these securities, which the
British government buys outright, Will

change, or sold to the munitions MAX

only loaned to the British government.
later may be used as guarantees for
payment of any new credit which the
allies may attempt to establish in the

RAILR ROADS
HOW ABOUT THIS?
George w. Perkins Says U. S.
Is Unprepared for Peace.
No Up-tO-Date Methods for In
dustry Defense, He Says.

George w. Perkins, the Progressive
leader, started something the other
day when he said in an interview:
we are just as unprepared for
peace as we are for war. We may not
have war at arms; we are certain to
have war in industry. We have no
modern, up to date weapons of de-
Tense for war at arms; neither have
we any modern up to date weapons of
defense for war in industry
Vice President Dixon of the Penn
sylvania railroad promptly pointed
out that cit is quite as important that
the American railroads should be pre-
pared for national defense as it is that
our navy and our army should be pre-
pared. For military efficiency in war
at arms and equally for economic eff
cheney in a war of industry there must
be preparation for the mobilization
and coordination of the country'S
internal resources
Mr.. Dixon said that there should be
sufficient railway income for the fol-
lowing purposes:
Il. To bring all track and roadway
up to standard conditions and main
tain it thus.
$40. To construct the double, triple
and Quadruple tracking and to make
the terminal extensions and improve
mentS that are required now by the
needs of peace, and which would be
of UNNECESSARILY greater value if the
railroads were ever called upon to as
sist in military operations.
80. To acquire sufficient supplies
of locomotives and cars of modern
types, and to reconstruct or replace
all obsolete equipment.
a. To hold IN service a sufficient
of well trained, well paid and
satisfied men, both officers and en-
ployees, to assure prompt and efficient
operation in any emergency"
The New York Sun, in commenting
said:
Even for the purely military func-
ton of transporting troops to the point
of attack our railroads must be bet
ter than they are now. This means
the upbuilding of the system, the i'm
provement of the equipment, the
adoption of every up to date appli-
ance that contributes to the highest
