HOPKINS ON BANK CHARTER.
Attorney General in Complaint Against
Stock Selling Plan.

After delaying promised action,
Richard ]. Hopkins, attorney general,
has promised to present his complaints
regarding legality of the stock selling
plan of the Kansas Bank Holding Cor
poration at a meeting of the state
charter board this afternoon. Hop
kins has failed to carry out his an
nounced plan to seek early court de-
cisions in the case.
When the bank holding case came
before the charter board Monday,
Hopkins asked further delays. Off
GERS of the corporation asked imme-
date action that they might have
early decision as to the status of their
case. Hopkins then agreed to appear
before the board this afternoon and
arrange for final disposition of his OBJ
jections.
Before he entered the hearing this
afternoon Hopkins apparently aban-
doned another of his plans He said
he had come to the conclusion that
legal procedure would not be neces-
airy to determine the status of the
company. He would settle the matter,
he indicated, with his own lagal opin-
ion.
"A general investment company
cannot own or hold controlling stock
in other corporations" said Hopkins.
1T is in violation of the anti-monopoly
law and contrary to public policy
No lawsuit is necessary TO decide the
matter"
Officers of the bank holding cor
poration, tho, are not satisfied. They
point out that Hopkins launched an
attack on their company without
notice or hearing after many promi-
nent bankers and business men had
invested their money and the blue sky
board had approved the stock selling
plan. Now they want the courts to
render an early decision as to their
status. They asked the board to direct
immediate action to determine
whether the attorney generals opin-
ions to the newspapers have sound
legal basis

executive committee of Christs hos
pital
The Christ's hospital grounds are
among the most beautiful in the city.
They comprise about twenty acres in
the heart of Topeka.
The institution has a large staff of
trained experts and specialists. 1t has
done a large amount of charitable
work and has been known for a gen
GRAFTON in Topeka and Kansas as one
of the great hospitals of the country.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of approving plans submitted by
Meyer j. Sturm, Chicago, a specialist
in hospital architecture, for the new
hospital and nurses home. They were
made following typographical survey
of the grounds by ]. A. Campbell.
The first building of the proposed
group will be a modern, fireproof
nurses home at the corner of Tenth
and West streets, on property given to
the hospital by Mrs Vail. widow of
the late Bishop Vail. The home will
include as features cedar lined closets.
rest and recreation rooms, shower
baths, gymnasium and dance floor.
The main structure will be a mod
ern, fireproof building to take the
place of the wooden building which
was the original hospital built by
Bishop Vail. This will be located be-
tween the Kyle and Wayne buildings.
The Kyle building will be used as the
administrative building, including ex-
ecutive offices, X-ray laboratory, and
medical research laboratories. The
Wayne buildiL will be used as a med
ical ward for housing general prac-
tice cases"
The new building will have a spe-
cial ward for diseases of children and
for special surgery cases. There will
be contagious disease wards and adj
ditions for the treatment of tubercular
patients. A feature of construction
will be a refrigerating plant extending
turnout the building. Nurses will have
ice packs, ice water and cold cloths,
and they will be available at a
number of places on each floor. The
system may be used to cool the rooms
in hot months.
The hospital is in no sense a sec
tartan institution. On its board and
medical staff are representatives of
many churches. Bishop Wise in a
talk said.
This institution is one for service
and not for profit. 1t has never made
a profit; in fact, the Episcopal church
has gone into debt from time to time
to sustain it. II is an institution for
the restoration and the preservation
of the lives of those afflicted, regard
less of their affiliations with any
church. What service can be more
ennobling or desirable than that in
which this hospital is engaged? We
must go forward and be prepared for
the new duties and accomplishments
which are before us.
I'm addition to preparations for tu-
bercular patients, contagious cases,
nervous diseases, maternity patients
and general cases, it is desirable that
we provide especially for children who
are afflicted Let me say here and

I'M A BIG BATTLE
Republicans and Democrats to
War Over Big Nitro Plant.
Partisans on Committee Bring
in Two Reports.

Washington. May 1.-two reports,
one by Republicans condemning the
governments entire wartime nitrate
program and charging reckless waste
Democrats defending it and charging
partisan bias by the majority, were
presented today to the house by a
special committee which took up the
investigation nearly a year ago.
Along with its Al general condemna-
tions of the government policy. the
Republican majority, comprising
Chairman Graham, Illinois, and Rep.
Jefferies, Neb., submitted recommen-
dations for future disposal of the Mus
Gle Shoals properties which Represen-
tative Garrett of Tennessee, the Demo-
cratic member, declared was beyond
its province. Mr.. Garrett indicates he
would make a point of order against
the report on that ground. Members
said this would omen the way for the
biggest political fight in the house
since the war investigating committee
was created.
Claim Failure on Contract.
Charging the air nitrates corpora
ton, builders of the Muscle Shoals
plant, with failure to perform its con-
tract, the majority recommended to
congress that no further sums be paid
it on account, and that civil suits be
instituted for recovery and that the
whole question of pay be threshed out
in the court of claims.
1t also was recommended that the
government pursue such remedies as
might be decided by the attorney gen.
eral. After asking congress to sell
materials stored at the Toledo and
Cincinnati plants and retain the Shelf
field, Ala, plant. the committee rec
mended that the government lease the
deserted villages built for officers at
Sheffield at cost of s12,00O,000.
The principal recommendation by
the majority related to the big Mus
Gle Shoals plant, costing S70,00O,000.
Being too valuable to scrap the major
ity recommended that it be leased and
converted into fertilizer plant for
the sale of products direct to farmers
with the right of the government to
take it over in time of threatened war.
Further expenditure at Muscle Shoals
was opposed,
