SUES OCCIDENTAL ASSN
Attorney General Files Action in Dis
trict Court Here.

A petition asking that the Occi-
dental Mutual Benefit association, u
fraternal order with headquarters at
Salina, be enjoined from doing any
further business in Kansas, was filed
today in the office of w. +. Anderson,
clerk of the Shawnee county district
court, by Attorney General Hopkins on
behalf of the state.
Hopkins alleges that the association
is only As per cent solvent and that
under the present plans adopted at
the last meeting of the supreme gov
erning body, increasing the solvency
3 per cent every five years, it will be
thirty years before the association is
100 per cent solvent.
Hopkins also declares that the asso-
citation has violated the law by issuing
certificates which provide that when
the holder attains 20 years of age and
becomes disabled that he may sur
render the certificate and receive in
cash as an endowment so per cent of
the amount then payable as a death
benefit.
The petition asserts that on Deem
Der 81 the general fund of the asso-
citation had been overdrawn 81, 123.4S.
Money received during 1921 to be
placed in the mortuary. or reserve
fund, was less by several thousand dol
lars than the amounts disbursed for
death or accident claims.
The attorney general says the super
intendent of insurance will not grant
the association a license for 1922 and
that such refusal will make necessary
the appointment of a receiver to wind
up the associations affairs.

BEGIN ON SATANTA LINE
Santa Fe Takes Steps to Secure Right
of WAY.

The Santa Fe today commenced
publication of condemnation proceed
ings against certain tracts of land in
Grant and Stanton counties for the
purpose of securing the right-o
for the new Satanic branch line. No
tlce of the proceedings must be pub
.lished for a period of four weeks be-
fore further action can be taken.
Most of the right-of-way for this
branch of railway, which is to extend
from Satanta to the western edge of
the state. a distance of fifty-five miles
has already been obtained. A com
mittee was organized for that purpose
and most Of the farmers were quick
to grant permission TO have the line
cross their lands knowing of the bene-
fits that Will result.
There are, however, certain tracts of
land whose owners cannot be located
and others are owned by estates which
have not been completely settled.
Where such lands are encountered
condemnation proceedings must be
carried out before the railroad COM
pany can complete its right-Of-way.
The contract for the construction
of the Satanta line has not yet been
let, It was said at the company's gen
eral offices, today, and authority from
the interstate commerce commission
is still lacking. If the contract is let
first, it will be on condition that
proper authority for building the line
will be granted. altho local officials
are looking for a favorable decision
from the commission at any time.

Old Long John Silver would have
risen from his grave and hobbled on
his crutches after the police this morn
ing could he have known of the treas
ure hunt they instituted. And surely
old Flint the terrible Buccaneer,
would have groaned in anxiety to have
seen those dauntless officers bound for
the river bank with picks and spades.
1t all came about, according TO the
officers, thru the confession of Lester
johnson that he had assisted in steal
ing a safe from the Economy Baggage
& Express company. 513 Quincy
street, six weeks ago. He said the safe
was carried to the river bank a quar-
ter of a mile east of the north end of
the Santa Fe~ railroad bridge and
buried in the sand.
So the officers-Phillip Becker, Bert
Larimer, and D. H. Sanderson-to-
gether with r. r. Baughn, proprietor
of the express company, and johnson,
set out for the scene. Instead of sail
ing in the Hispaniola, like Jim Hawk
ms did, they took the police car. And
instead of maps and charts drawn by
old Flint, johnson served as guide.
No one was dressed for tropical chimes
except johnson, who was minus socks
and wore only shoes, overalls, shirt,
cap and thin Overcoat.

AHOTE OF OPTIMISM
Judge West Addresses Members of
Lions Club

Judge West Addresses Members of
Lions Club.
Optimism in business and living was
the keynote sounded by Judge Judson
S. West m an address before the
members of the Lions club at its reg
ular meeting at the University club at
noon today
Il am tired of the forecasting of
disasters that are coming to our coun-
try said Judge West. They have all
proven to be poor predictions. The
country is to be congratulated on the
fact that there have been no recent
panics. Talk of conditions not ad-
justing and stabilizing themselves IS
wasted on the desert air.
Judge West complimented the work
of the American Legion and stated
that if he was an ex-service man he
would join that organization if he did
not belong to another on the face of
the earth. In referring to the dis
armament conference, he stated that
all people wanted lasting peace and
that the Washington conference ac-
ccmplished more than all the other
conferences in the history of the
world. He also touched upon the fact
that slumbering China received more
benefits from the conference than any
other nation
Judge West said that he was not
worried over the conduct of young
people these days. THE girls of to-
days are just as good as any ever
raised, said Judge West.
He stated that altho taxation was
high, the Indebtedness of the United
states was the smallest in the world
in proportion to its resources. IN
speaking of business conditions. Judge
leaving and new era of prosperity
was coming.
