This document, which was framed

that incorporation or annexation of

FLOCAL CONCERN
Every Attempt Made to Get a
Wire Into Galveston.
Santa Fe Resorts to Wireless
But without Success.

Officials in the Santa Fe general Of
fees in Topeka report that railroad
wires running into Galveston were lost
late Monday afternoon and since
that time efforts to pick up commun-
ication with that city have been with
out results. At Wallis. Texas about
11O miles northwest of Galveston and
the nearest point to Galveston with
which Santa Fe officials are able to
communicate. the storm is still raging
with the wind blowing at rs miles an
hour.
Attempts of the Santa Fe through
commercial means to get in touch
with the threatened city by wireless
brings back the report that the Gal
weston wireless station is out of order.
1t is the general opinion in the To-
peka general offices that train service
in the district around Galveston is
completely demoraliZed. The Santa
Fe has sent bridge gangs and repair
men into the storm territory to begin
repairing what damage may be done
as soon as abatement of the storm
makes repair work possible. Santa Fe
officials of the southern divisions are
on the ground at Wallis and Calves
ton.
There are many persons in Topeka
who have relatives and friends in
Galveston and who are much con-
cerned over the results of the storm.

WRIT ASKED FOR
Mandamus Proceedings Are
Started in the Gas Case.
p. U.~C. Petitions for Dismissal
of the Receivers Suit.

Petitions asking for a writ of man
damus to compel dismissal of suits
pending in Montgomery county. were
filed in the supreme court today by
attorneys for the public utilities com
mission. The action is in relation to
a recent restraining order by Judge
F'lanne1ly of Independence, which
prevented the placing in effect of the
utilities commissions recent order in
the gas case.
The action to force a dismissal of
the Montgomery county litigation fol-
lowed the failure of receivers and
members of the commission to agree
on method of procedure They were
in conference Monday and the suit to-
day was the result of their inability to
reach an agreement
If the commission wins its suit, it
will wipe out the case brought in
Mont gomery county by receivers for
the Kansas Natural Gas company.
The gas rate question will then be up
to the Missouri commission Should
the Missouri board make an order
similar to the one issued in Kansas,
gas rates will then be increased to %
cents a thousand feet. 1t is claimed
by the gas company that this increase
is not sufficient to warrant the neces-
sary extensions and betterments or
dered by the Kansas commission in
the demand for more gas
1t is possible that supreme court
justices will be recalled from their
vacations to pass on the action filed
by the utilities commission. In that
event, an early decision may be

SLAT0K IN SCATHING
DENUkCIATION OF MOB:
EVERY MAN ASSASSIN

San Francisco, Cal. Aug. IL
Former Governor John NJ. SlatOn
of Georgia, who. as chief executive
of that state, COnmuted to life
imprisonment the sentence of death
passed upon Leo NJ. Frank, said,
today, when informed that Frank
had been lynched:
The act was n cOnSummatc out
rage and every man engaged in the
lynching should be hanged, for he
IS an assassin. Such an act is
contrary to the civilization of Geor-
gia and one which every good citi-
zen will condemn.
Il could use no language too
condemuatOTy. l believe tire gov
ernor of Georgia will use all the
power of the state TO punish the
maIefactOrS who diSgraced the
civilization of Georgia. Their act
was one of coWardice which belongs
alone to the assassin.
IL ann shocked and hoTrifed be-
yol.d expression. ANY man who
approves tIIis action of the mob
of murdcrers is unworthy TO be a
Georgian.
ANY newspaper which condoncS
this OffenSe ought to he driven out
of the state. For the conduct of
this miserable mob of asSaSsinS is
the conduct of the same sort of
people who shoot a man from be-
hind a fence or murder woman
from a cowarCily heart"

CALL KANSAS TROOPS?
Gen Martin Denies National Guard
Have Been Ordered to Border.

Members of the Kansas national
guard have no immediate cause to
be alarmed over the prospects of be-
ing called to the Mexican border. ac-
cording to statement made this
morning over the long distance tele-
phone from Leavenworth by General
c. l. Martin.
There is no possibility of such a
thing unless general orders are issued
from Washington b. the president,
Gen. Martin said.
During the past 81 hours there
have been persistent rumors in To-
peka that Kansas companies had
been ordered to prepare to go to
Texas and it was reported this morn
ing that a member or a Leavenworth
company who has neen working in
Topeka had been ordered to join his
company at midnight Monday night.
In spite of the denial of Cen Mar
tin and the lack of any official infor-
nation, a number of people were in
clined to believe there might be some
thing to the rumors.

DEEP RUMBLE IN COURT HOUSE

Economy DIT the expense of eff
cheney was the keynote of the rumble
of discomfort which was plainly aud
ible at the county court house this
morning as result of the economy or
der of the county commissioners. In
order to make up for d deficit of $11,-
600 in the general revenue fund the
ing for slices out of the clerk hire fund
in several offices. As near as can be
figured the economy measure will net
the county between $4,000 and So
600 year. The commissioners in
tend to reduce expenses until the defi-
cit is covered.
From September 1 the people of
Shawnee county who apply for di-
vorceS will have to pay a divorce tax,
it was pointed out in the Office of the
county attorney this morning. The
commissioners new rule that $3.50 OF
the divorce proctor'S fee shall come to
the county and $3.50 of it shall go to
the county attorney as the divorce
proctor means that 10 per cent of this
fee goes to the county and is not used
to pay for any investigation or work
Vorce cases. In other words the $3.50
is merely a tax on divorces In many
counties the entire fee goes to the di-
vorce proctor.
