OUGHT TO DO DUTY
Failure to Cut Hedges And Weeds
Is Condemned

The Kansas Official, a bulletin
published in the interests Of coun-
ty officers of the state, takes
crack at neglect in cutting hedges
and weeds.
Accidents on account OF roads
being INSTRUCTED at intersections
and hidden turns" says the pubh-
cation, "are getting to be so num-
erous that the severest penalty Is
none too heavy for the landowner
who fails to cut his hedge and
weeds along the road, especially at
the corners. We have a law that
fixes a penalty and delegates full
authority to apply It"
A big Improvement has been made
in the hedge and weed situation In
Geary county since notices were
mailed out regarding the law some
weeks ago.

EMERSON IS OPPOSED
AS RECEIVER OF LINE
Head of Hudson Navigation
Ineligible, Is Charge.

Judge John C. Knox in the Federal
District Court heard arguments yester-
day in the complaint of Charles II
Nolte a commission merchant, against
the Hudson Navigation Company OBJ
jecting to the issuance of receivers
certificates of indebtedness until James
A. Emerson is dismissed as a receiver
for the shipping company. No objection
was made to the permanent appointment
OF Middleton s. Bor.and coreceiver with
Emerson.
Chief objection to Mr.. Emerson as
suming the duties OF permanent re-
ceiver was made by the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company, trustee of the first
mortgage. and the first mortgage bond
holders committee. Their objections
are based on the fact that Mr. Emerson,
who was a director of the company last
year and this year is its president, will
be unable to render services as its re-
ceiver and retain his position as presi-
dent. In the course of argument 1t was
charged that during 1920 the company's s
net earnings were S430.000 and that
during Mr.. Emerson's administration
those assets had dwindled until the
company Is in debt.
Judge Knox In reviewing the COM
pany's business declared that there was
need of permanent receivers. He re-
served decision on the matter of whether
Mr.. Emerson would be removed or APP
pointed a permanent receiver with Mr..
Borland
