District Court Notes.

District Court for this week COM
menced en- Tuesday, with Judge Purcell
on the brnch, and Ralph Graham TAX
ing down the proceedings. The new
District Clerk did his work pleasingly,
while the Sheriff and his deputies were
on the alert. The docket was called
and the motions made, cases set for
trial and naturalization took place.
Wednesday morning the new County
Attorney appeared on the scene, the
murder trial of the Mexicans being
called.
Among the novelties on lhe docket,
was a suit against soldier boy now in
the army in France, the first in Kan
sas. The State Bar Association and
every lawyer in the State last year
pledged themselves to protect and not
allow any prosecutions of Soldier Boy
while he was ip the Army defending
his country from the Huns, and at the
State Bar Association meeting held IN
Topeka, last week, this was the only
case reported in the State. In Decem-
Der, hardly a couple of weeks after the
war ceased, Rev. E. o.. Rogers of this
city, brought suit through Attorney
E. A. Rea, against William R. Young,
a soldier boy in the trenches in France,
to cancel deed he had received, re-
quiring him to answer by January "A,
1919 or his deed would be cancelled.
He couldn't possibly hear of the case,
nor answer, so the State Council OF
Defense ordered their Ellis county at
torney to see that the case was con-
tinued until the Soldier boy could be
notified after he came out of the
army. A Re dCross man hired Attor-
ney Harry Pestana to represent the
Soldier boy and see that the case was
continued, his check having on Red
Cross, inscribed ''He shall not be
Crucifed on a Cross of Creed
When the case was called Mr.. Pes
tana was there and Judge Purcell
ordered the case continued.
A year ago Harry Freese was ap-
pointed by the Department at Wash
ington to look after the interests of
the present soldier boys and their
families, as he has done with the Civil

Operators Say Advance In Retail
Prices 10 Not Justified.
Chicago, Dec. 31.-Coal operators OF
the central competitive field. compris-
ing Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western
Pennsylvania, closed two days ses-
sion yesterday with a fiat announce
ment that any advance In coal prices
for domestic uses Is unjustified and
done by the retailer at his own risk
and initiative.
at was the sense Of the meeting
that there will be no increase In
prices. The operators have raised
prices IA per cent on a few grades of
steam coal, but only to certain indus
trial users. and that under contrac-
tural agreements In which both par
ties are agreed to the increase.
There Is absolutely no justification
for raise In price Of coal ito house,
holders and others at this time." said
one Of the operators.
He added that the operators were
tired Of taking the blame for rash
acts of profiteering on tho part Of a
few retailers.
The session yesterday was produc-
tive Of heated debates In which the
100 operators individually condemned
the governments settlement Of the
coal strike without letting the opera
tor have a say IN its terms"
Anticipated reputation Of the fuel
commission appointed by President
Wilson failed to materialize, the
meeting passing out this official an
nouncement:
"This meeting Of bituminous GOAL
operators was called to discuss the
situation growing out Of the appoint
msnt Of the presidential coal commits
sion.
because Of the complexity ana I'm
! portance OF tho matter. and Of lack
Of knowledge % 70 the scope and plans
Of the new commission. and because Of
the somewhat limited attendance incl
dent 70 the holiday season, no definite
action has yet been taken by the op-

with Inference to the so-called

have not been since, advised or con-
suited with reference thereto and have
not either accepted nor rejected any
proposals based thereon
