ENTITLED To SEAT
Clyde E. Hampstead Has Right
to Hospital Trusteeship.
District Court Rules in Santa
Fe Association Fight.

Clyde E. Hampstead, z2e Horne
street, is entitled to take office as a
trustee of the Santa Fe Hospital asso-
citation under a decision handed down
by Judge James A. Mcclure in the
district court this morning. If the
other four trustees do not want him
to serve, they'must start a proceeding
in quo warranto in order to unseat
him, Judge Mcclure held.
Hampstead was duly elected as a
trustee of the association in May.
1922, along with r. 1. Beeman. The
latter was permitted to take his seat
June 80, but the right was refused
Hampstead on the ground that he was
morally unfit for the position, the
association making charges against
his character.
Following a mass meeting of Santa
Fe shop employees June rs. in which
they passed a resolution setting forth
their grievances, Hampstead brought
mandamus proceedings in the district
court to compel the board of trustees
to permit him to qualify and begin
his duties as a member of the board
Charge Moral Unfitness.
The trustees, by Judge w R. Smith,
their attorney. filed an answer, ad-
mitting that Hampstead was legally
elected, but charging that he had been
SIT, 500 as treasurer of his brother
hood and therefore was not morally
fit to hold the position. The answer
was based on that part of the stipula-
ton made by the supreme court that
only persons of good moral charac-
ter would be permitted to act as
trustee.
Hampstead then demurred to the
answer, and was sustained by Judge
Mcclure, this morning. The court
held that the title to an office could
not be tried in a mandamus case, and
that if the association wished to un-
seat Hampstead it would have to start
an custer suit
Judge Smith said this afternoon that
he will ask permission Monday to file
an amended answer in the case, and
was unprepared to say what action
would follow in the event his request
is denied.

HORTON SHOP PROPOSITION

The publication of news again
seems to have aroused the citizens of
Horton to a boycott against Topeka
business
Horton has taken drastic action
against Topeka due to the printing
of news story in The State Journal
of the removal of the Rock Island
shops to the capital city.
The story originated at the state
house following a strike conference
of railway and state officials 1t was
stated to newspaper men after the
meeting that the strike situation
brought up the old question of the
Horton shop move to Topeka. News
paper men naturally treated the in
formation as news and it was printed
as such.
Following the state house informa-
ton The State journal took the mat
ter up with Mr. T. H. Beacon, vice
president and general manager of the
Rock Island Lines at Chicago.
Mr.. Beacom's reply Is to the effect
that there Is nothing to the rumor"
and that. there is mo plan for such a
move
If the R6ck Island moves its shops
to T,peka it viii be done by the rail-
road and not by state officers-there-
fore, the matter is settled.
The State Journal will continue to
print all news Of any character that
is of general interest. This newspa-
per made no effort nor will it ever
make any effort to damage Horton
thru misstatement of facts. The
story of July II was considered Iesit-
innate news. It so happened that the
story did not develop-many times
the case in many stories. The fact
that it developed in the state house
indicated that it had bearing on the
strike situation and on a matter of
general concern.
However. Mr.. Beacon has denied
tn rumor.
That settles it
All further attacks on this newspa-
per on account of this story will be
ignored

Shop Strike Must End if
Railroads Continue To Run
Government Expert Says Within Three Weeks, Engines
VIII Be in Such Shape Government Inspectors
Won't Be Allowed 60 Pass Them.

Washington, July 22.-The motive
power of all railroads in the country
will be seriously crippled. if not
brought to dead standstill, before
many weeks if the strike of the six
federated shop crafts continues, it was
stated in official quarters today.
By the middle of August, it was
said, locomotives on all railroads will
be legally unfit for travel. Only by
violating or stretching" the federal
laws governing locomotive inspection,
can the big pilots be kept moving
after that time it was said.
Locomotives require constant bar
bering" to keep them in condition, and
the laws governing their inspection
are rigid. Usually a pilot requires re-
pairs after each trip and when this
attention is not given, the engines de-
teriorate.

Total of 100000 Acres of
Growing Corn in State.
Potato Crop for 1922 Is Esti-
mated at 5,2OS,OOO Bushels.

Kansas will produce 1O7,oo0,000
bushels of corn this year as against
96,O0o,o0O bushels a year ago on the
basis of a report issued today by j.
c. Mohler. secretary of the state board
of agriculture. Corn conditions at this
time are s9.2 per cent-the best July
showing in years.
There is no change in the June
wheat estimate. 1t is for a crop OF
states wheat crop was 12S,o00. 600
bushels. Only 5 per cent of the 1929
wheat crop has been threshed. Five
counties-Edwards, Stafford, Pawnee,
raise decid edly sub-normal crops. The
counties are in the heart of the wheat
belt. Their conditions are 46, %, 81,
p, SS and 80 per cent respectively.
SecretaryMohler's report shows s.
090,0O acres of growing corn Con-
ditions are ST. per cent above the five
year average, 2.65 above the average
for July last year and ga points bet
ter than shown in the June report.
Corn is clean and with recent rains
looks like a bumper crop.
The state will produce 100000
bushels of oats and 23,0OO,000 bushels
of barley.
The potato crop is estimated s.
203, 600 bushels.
Insects have not seriously damaged
crops, altho chinch bugs have ap-
peared in many eastern counties.
Rains have practically stopped the
chinch bugs activity for the summer,
the report indicates
Following is the July report in de-
tail:
Winter Wheat.
Harvesting of wheat has been fin
ished in the eastern half of the state.
In the western half there is still con-
siderable to cut. Edwards, Stafford,
Pawnee, Kiowa, Ford and Hodgeman
counties. in the southwest, report 46,
%, 81. %, SS and 30 per cent, re-
spectively, yet to cut, while in the
northwest always the last to harvest
because of the later season, an aver
age of about half of the wheat is still
standing and as much as IL per cent
in Sherman and Sc per cent in Chey-
enne remains to be harvested. ----
Owing to the wet weather, very lit
tie threshing has been done, altho it
has begun in nearly every county.
Meager threshing returns do not af-
ford sufficient basis for calculating
actual yields as compared to the fore
casts of a month ago, when a pros
-pective output of 117,215,OO0 bushels
was indicated for the state. Taking
the six counties which have threshed
as much as 20 per cent of the crop, 1t
is found that three of these, Seward,
Meade and Clark, harvesting 233,500
acres, in the southwest. show actual
yields per acre averaging IL, Is and IL
bushels. respectively; as compared to
last months forecast of II, 13 and
IL bushels. The other three, Harper,
a south central county, and Elk and

Conference Between Hooper
and Harding on Strike Today.
Little Optimism Felt as Rail
Tieup Only Tightens Up.
DEADLOCK SEEMS UNCHANGED
PerishabIe Freight Shipments
Held Up Over Systems.
Other Effects of Shopmen's
Walkout Felt KeenIy Now.

Washington, July 22.-Chairman
Hooper of the railroad labor board
presented to President Harding in a
four hour conference today details of
the rail strike situation, reporting on
the controversy between the union
workers and the executives from the
inception to the present time.
Leaving the White House after the
conference. the labor board chairman
told newspaper men that naturally /
do not feel at liberty to discuss de-
tails of the conference" and declined
to state whether the president had in
mind any future conferences or give
any inkling as to what the administra-
ton program might be. He did say,
however, that he was returning to
Chicago, leaving here at o'clock this
evening.
The president after Mr.. Hooper left
the White House, went into confer
ence with Senators Underwood of Ala
bama, and Pomerene of Ohio, Demo-
cratic members of the senate inter-
state commerce committee. Earlier
in the day and during the conference
minis, of Iowa, Watson. of Indiana,
and Kellogg of Minnesota, Republican
members of the same committee who
conferred here last Thursday night
with leading railroad executives of the
east, had been called to the White
House.
Chicago. July 22-The strike of
1900 clerks on the Chicago & North
western railway has been postponed
for the present, according to reports
reaching the United States railroad
! labor board this afternoon. The COM
pany Is reported to have made some
concessions.
Chicago. July 22.-With prospects
OF peace still remote but with hope
still existing that an early adjust
ment would be reached. the strike of
fourth week. There was a belief in
some circles that the strike never
would live to be a month old while
elsewhere the opinion prevailed that
| the walkout Is destined to acquire
considerable age and strength before
it finally is ended.
The chief hope of peace today CEN
tered in Washington, where Ben w.
Hooper. chairman of the United
States railway labor board. was to
confer with President Harding in an
swer to the summons of the president
1t was believed a plan of adjustment
that would be acceptable to all parties
to the controversy might be evolved
from this conference.
Neither Side Will Yield
The pessinistic views of sle sit
uation arose from the apparent un-
yielding attitude maintained by both
rail executives and union leaders. B.
M. Jewell, head Of the strikers, en-
phatically closed the door to separate
agreements with the individual roads
when he refused to sanction individual
negotiations of shop crafts unions at
st. Paul and declared there must be a
national agreement before any settle
ment is possible
No sign of a disposition to compro-
mise came today from the rail execu-
tives. They continued their efforts to
recruit shopmen from outside the
ranks of the union and remained firm

ASKS FOR $50, 900 DAMAGES
T. K Kennedy Sues Officers and
Directors of Tonganoxie Bank.


Alleging that they conspired to de-
fraud him of his position and prop
erty, T. K. Kennedy, of Lamar, Colo,
today filed suit in the district court
to collect $4,000 from ]. w. Dor
ney, w. F. Dorney, George Seufert.
Ross A. Phenicie and George L.
Phenicie, officers and directors of the
Tonganoxie State bank of Leaven-
worth county.
Kennedy was formerly president
and later vice president of the bank,
He says he owned $3s,7O0 worth of
the banks capital stock, which he
purchased in December, 1919, and
which was secured by the Common
wealth National bank of Kansas City
and a mortgage on his home property.
Kennedy asserts that in order to de-
prive him of his job and money and
to get possession of his bank stock.
the defendants connived together and
reported to the state bank commits
sioner that the bank, of which Ken
nedy was then vice president, had
$4,000 in bad and uncollected notes
and securities among its assets, and
that it was in a precar1ous condltion as
regarded solvency. He says they also
caused to be spread on the minutes of
inefficient and incapable officer, and
that they finally induced the Com
monwealth National bank to exercise
its right under its contract and sell his
stock This stock Kennedy says was
worth $500 a share, but was bought
up by the defendants at $3.50 a share.
Staggering under this financial
blow, Kennedy says he was forced to
sign over his property which he had
mortagaged to help secure his bank
stock His total loss, he states. was
s23.4S5. He seeks to recover his loss
and $25.0o0 punitive damages.
