SUE 81 RAILROADS
War on Between State Railroad
Board and l. C. C.
Attorney General of Texas
Fights Federal Control.

Austin, Tex. Oct. 16.-Attorney
General Looney has filed suit
against thirty-four railroads operating
in Texas requiring each to obey the
rules and regulations prescribed by
state statutes and the state railroad
commission with respect to the trans
portation of freight in interstate COM
merce.
This suit was filed in retaliation of
the interstate commerce commission 8
order from Washington som time ago
in the socalled Shreveport rate case.
which tended to remove the turisdic-
ton of the Texas railroad commission
over interstate carriers operating in
the state.
The suit filed today Furthermore
seeks to prohibit the railroads from
applying higher or other rates to such
freight traffic than are prescribed by
the state railroad commissions tariffs
now in force. If that portion of the
suit is granted, it was said, a direct
contravention of the interstate COM
merce commissions order would re-
suit.

BLOW GERMAN BASE?
No, But Villagers Thought So When
Explosion Rocks Coast.

East Machais, Maine, Oct. 16-The
thrill which pervaded this little village
when it was rocked by an explosion
early Saturday, causing villagers to be-
!ieve that the base of supplies for the
German submarine had been discoy-
cred, gradually were off today.
Carroll DenniSon, owner of the
dynamited Alewife Pen, now believes
that his building, located in the mid
die of the East Machais river, was
blown up out of spite. Villagers strain
ing their ears thru the stormy night,
heard boats, probably warships, pass
ing up and down the shallow river,
but these were not noticed by coast
guards at the mouth.

Mr.. DOOLEY FORGIvES
'Little Devils Play in His Mansion

New York, Oct. 16.-''Ye see, Mr..
Hennessey. the young spalpeeris wasn't
bad at heart. They wuz just full of

If Mr.. Dooley, the character created
by Finley P. Dunno, were to tell about
the COINS on in the Dunno mansion
while the Dunno family was away,
he'd probably have something like the
above to say.
Eight youthful raiders camped on
the premises, ate jam, piled up clothes
and silver ready to take away and
vandalized the library, but Dunno de-
cided he'd not prosecute them, after
police had caught them in the act.

X. C. First, Wichita Second and
Topeka Third in List.
1893 WITH MORE THAN 1000
Gain of Six Towns in New
Glass in ~ Months.
Gain of $4,000 Living in Cities
Over Last Year.

There are this year 139 cities in
Kansas having a population of 1000
or more, as against 1873 belonging to
such a list in 1915, according to the
returns received by the state board of

for the state as whole. Slightly
more than 40 per cent of the popula-
ton of Kansas is in the 1879 cities with
1000 or more Inhabitants, the aggre-
gate number being 6S6,605. Twenty
one per cent of the population of the
state, or 357,559 persons, live in the
fourteen cities with more than 10000
inha bitaHts each. Kansas City, W1ch-
ita, Topeka, Leavenworth, Hutchinson
and Pittsburg lead in population, in
the order named.
Inefficiency in Topeka.
Topeka is the only city in Kansas
whose 1915 population was not OBJ
tanned. In statement issued recently
J. Q. Mohler announced that the CEN
sus enumerators in Topeka had
''botched" the job so fearfu1ly that
impossible to get the correct figures
for the 1916 population. The popula-
ton of Topeka shown in the table is
for 1915.
The cities showing the greatest per
cent of increase in the past year are
Augusta with SO per cent. Parsons 90
per cent, and Blue Rapids &c per cent.
Changes in Rank.
Notable changes in rank are as fol-
lows: Augusta from 101st to 10th,
Eldorado 5oth to 29th, Norton 92d to
65th, ST. Marys 12Sth to 96th, Baxter
Springs 1O2d- to S5th. Altoona 117th

Rapids 103d to 92d, Neodesha 44th to
3Sth, Larned 9Th to 42d, and Beloit
41st to 37th. 1t will be noted that
Augusta and Eldorado. the two cities
making the greatest advance in rank,
and showing the largest per cent of
increase. are in Butler county, where
recent oil and gas developments have
attracted many people.
Two of the cities in the 1,000-list
last year (Ellinwood and Hanover) do
not appear this year, while eight
others made increases in the twelve
months bringing them above the 1000
mark. These are Ashland, Miltonva1e,
Wakeeney, Elwood, LaCygne, Protec-
tion, Conway Springs, and Kiowa.
