Tomorrow is designated as the first

TO Get SALARIES
Riley and Bailey Win in Su-
preme Court Case.
Writ of MandamuS Allowed
Against Auditor Knapp.
DECISION NOT HANDED DOWN
kOrmal Opinion May Be De-
Ayed Several Days.
state Officials vitality Interested
in the Case.

Fred w Knapp. state auditor, must
pay the salaries of j. c. Riley, COM
mission clerk in the secretary of states
office, and Paul B. Bailey, court re-
porter for the Twenty-second judicial
district. In a special decision today,
the supreme court allowed writs of
mandamus against the state auditor
In both cases.
Salaries of Riley and Bailey were
held up under an Interpretation of the
blood and marriage law. The law,
which is written into the general ap-
preparation bill. provides that no per-
son shall be employed in a state office
or department who is directly related
to either the head of the department
or his assistan MT. Riley is a son -in-law
of d. o. McCray, assistant secretary of
state. Bailey is a nephew of Judge W.
l. Stuart.
Might Invalidate Act.
While the court did not indicate the
extent to which it may go in uphold
ing the claims of Riley and Bailey, II
virtually wiped out the blood and mar
rage provision as it now exists.
Should the court hold in its formal
opinion that the blood and marriage
clause is foreign to the subject matter
of the appropriation measure, it might
inYalidate the entire act. Supreme
court justices were in conference this
morning regarding the opinion in the
case. 1t was stated that the formal
opinion might not be prepared for sew
eral days.
Both Riley and Bailey will immedi-
ately receive their salaries under the
decision. Much interest. tho, centers
in the text of the courts opinion in the
case. Should the appropriation act be
held invalid, a special legislative ses-
sion would doubtless be necessary.

STATE HAS COAL
Big Institutions Can Survive a
Temporary Famine.
Prolonged Strike, However,
Would Cause Suffering.

State institutions can survive a tenn
porary coal famine, according to
James A. Kimball, state manager.
While general shut down of mines
would mean a real hardship TO Kan
sas educational, charitable and penal
institutions. limited tie-up of pro-
duction might be overcome. Kimball
asserted all institutions could meet a
thirty to sixty day shut down-a few
can stand out even longer.
For some time the state institutions
have been preparing for the coming
winter. All of them now have a re-
serve supply of coal. None of the in
situations, tho. are prepared to face the
winter without additional fuel. A few
might run until the first of the year
without improved supplies. Others
would reach the bottom of coal bins
by Thanksgiving.
Have Sixty Day Supply.
"A1l of the state institutions have
from thirty to sixty days supply of
coal on hand" Manager Kimball
stated today. None the less every
day of sunshine and warmth is a day
of comfort to US. Should threats of a
general shut down in the mines be
carried out, it would be mighty rough
on some Of the institutions, especially
if the strike continued for any consid-
cradle period. A few of our institu-

day tie up. Others would exhaust sup
plies in 3 month"
Contracts for coal were let last sum-
mer. Partial supplies have been de-
livered to all institutions under these
contracts the state manager asserted.
1t is probable that at this time the
state is better prepared to face a coal
famine than are many industrial
plants. None the less the prospect of
a shortage brings no joy to state off
