HEAR PHONE CASE
Bell Company Asks for Rate
Hike in Hutchinson.
Decision VIII Probably Be
Handed Down in July.

The supreme court this afternoon
heard the appeal of the Southwestern
Bell Telephone company from the
Reno county district court affecting
an injunction against increased tele-
phone rates for Hutchinson. The, writ
was issued by Judge Fairchild when
the telephone company sought to en-
force a new rate schedule.
Recently the Bell company secured
a restraining order against the public
utilities commission when it failed to
pass on applications for rate increases
in various Kansas towns. The former
industrial court had granted increased
wages to employees in towns affected,
but failed to act when the company
asked for increased rates with which
to meet the advance in operating costs.
Then the Bell company enjoined the
state commission against interference
with the new rates.
May Decide Case in July.
Judge Fairchild enjoined enforce
ment of the new rates for Hutchinson
He declared the public utilities COM
mission and industrial court had
played politics In its rate making ac-
ton and denied to the company the
right to advance its charges. The Bel
company appealed to the supreme
court and the case was submitted this
afternoon. A decision will probably
| be handed down in July.

SANTA FE TRAIN DERAILED
Accident at Fifteenth Street Causes
Delay of Three Hours

The engine of Santa Fe Train No. 6
was derailed Wednesday night at the
crossing of the Missouri Pacific and
Santa F'e tracks at Fifteenth street,
when it struck an automatic derailing
device installed at the crossing as a
safety measure. The derai1, accord
ing to Santa Fe employers, had not
been released after the passage of a
Missouri Pacific train.
The train was running slowly as 1t
entered the yards, and only the engine
left the rails. No one was injured.
Delay in getting the engine back
on the rails was caused by the i'm
possibility of getting an engine behind
the stalled train to pull the cars
away from the derailed engine. The
cars were finally pulled into the clear
about o'clock, when Train No. 16
arrived from the west.
Santa Fe Train No. 6 is due into
Topeka at 4:50 o'clock in the after
noon, and did not arrive at the sta
ton until after o'clock wednesday
night

CLOUD COUNTY LOSES FUND
State Highway Commission Refuse
Road Aid of S116,250.

Cloud county lost its federal road
appropriation of $116.250 because the
commissioners in that county refused
to follow directions by the state high
way commission and advertise for bids
by June 1. Withdrawal of this fund
brought the total appropriation avail
able for distribution to s190,e00. Ap-
plications are now pending for
$34S,59o.
Shawnee county's application for
$50. 900 was considered, but no action
taken. The same situation prevailed
in the application of Wyandotte coun-
ty for $4,000. altho the commission
allowed $19,750. Leavenworth county
was allowed $4,000 on a $4,000 ap-
plication. Dickinson county asked for
S29, $50 and received $4,000. Geary
county received s10.65o: Brown county
s1S. 900 on an application for s40.S00.
The commission disallowed a $4,000
application presented jointly by Meade
and Clark counties. It also rejected
a petition for $55.oo0 from Wilson
county.

new DROP WAVE
Further Reductions in Prices
Generally Are Reported. -
Deflation of Currency Shown in
Decreased Circulation.

Washington, June 9.-A new series
of reductions in prices of all COM
modities is beginning in nearly every
section of the country, James Mccoy,
actuary of the treasury department,
declared today.
The nationwide price cutting wave,
which began just about a year ago,
had slowed down during the last few
months. Now price cutting is to be
resumed on a new faster scale. it is
indicated by factors which Mccoy
considers important.
Circulation Decreased.
One of these factors is an unusually
big drop in the per capita circulation
of money. In the month ended June
1 the per capita circulation fell off
S8 cents to $55.43 a person, according
to an announcement by the treasury
This shows conclusively that prices
are falling" said Mccoy. TT means
that money is getting harder to obtain
because there is less of it to be had
When you have to work harder to gel
money, it is worth more and will buy
more.
Initiation at End.
During the war money was infIat.
ed. plentiful and easy to obtain-that
is, comparatively. That is what made
all prices soar. Now that we are be
ing Debated, the converse become!
true"
Mccoy is supported by data in pos
session of the labor department con
cerning retail and wholesale price,
thruout the United States.

Washington, June 9.-The future of

Gov. H. J. Allen.

At 1890 o'clock this morning in

1896, and to Edward G. Buckland,
member of the board of trustees of
the college, graduate of the Washburn
class of 1887 and now vice president
and general attorney of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad.
Borrowers and Lenders.
There are two nations and two
the lenders" declared Doctor Sibley
in the fifty-sixth annual commence
ment address. "By borrowers I mean
not only financial borrowers but So
cial and mental borrowers, and so
many who do not return what they
have borrowed.
There is no way to pay our debt
| than to return something greater than
was borrowed" Doctor Sibley said to
the graduates. Every youth should
remember that he takes from all in
| order to be able to give to all.
Be lender by being an efficient
workman" he urged. mo man is
; lending the most of himself unless he
/ is prepared to work with a trained
mind, spirit and body.
| "Our age is one with a tendency to
earthly things, seemingly to learn how
I ANrN1V
gain" Doctor Sibley said. I'VE need
to remember that those who keen
their gaze toward the stars have given
the most assistance possible to make
the column of society move forward
we should keep our feet on the
ground but our faces toward the
/ skies''
In presenting the degree of doctor
OF laws to Gov. Henry J. Allen, former
ly Washburn student, President P
P. Womer said:
Because of your co Ntructfve and
fearless efforts in the service OF
the state and your high minded char
acter and exalted patriotism, the col
lege presents this degree"
Reaches High Mark.
