PROTEST PIERSEN ORDER
Oklahoma and California Stockholders
Intervene in Reccivership.

A protest against the recent order
Ct the court in the case of the Piersen
Manufacturing company of Topeka
was made today when Frank c. Boa
sen OF Hollywood, Cal. and Charles
w Roasen of Oklahoma City filed a
motion in the district court for leave
70 Intervene in the suit brought
against the company by T. c. Daniels
asking a receivership.
Charles Boasen claims to hold
SO, 275 worth of stock in the company;
Frank says he owns $9,125 worth. The
two of them, they assert, are holders
company TO William B. Lowrance and
l'aul B. Sweet, trustees, in the amount
CT $4,000.
on September 26, 1921. the court is
sued an order authorizing the newly
appointed receiver for the company to
issue $4,000 worth of receivers GER
and prior lierNupon all properties and
assets of the company The Boasens
contend that the Bank of Topeka and
Merchants National bank, both hold
ers of liens against the Piersen COM
pany, were never made parties to the
receivership suit and that the court
order gives them a preference in their
Claims against the company.
The Boasens also question the juris-
diction of the court in the matter and
aHege that if there is law which
gives the court Jurisdiction in this
case. that such law is in violation OF
the constitution of the United States
in that 1t seeks to impair obligation
of contracts and serves to confiscate
property without due process of law.

ATTACK ON THE COURT
Mine Union Would Restrain Indus
dustriaI Act in Kansas.

Attacking the validity of the Kan
sas Industrial court law, the United
Mine Workers of America late Tues
day afternoon filed suit in the first
Kansas division of the United States
district court asking that the law be
declared unconstitutional and that the
state be restrained from further put
ting any of its provisions into effect.
1t is understood that the case is the
one which John L. Lewis, president of
the International Mine Workers
union, and other union officials an
nounced some time ago would be filed
to test the constitutionality of the in
dustrial court act.
The suit is brought in the name of
Samuel Smith, of Pittsburg, Kan, who
states that he is acting for himself
and in the behalf of 5000 other mem
bers of the United Mine Workers of
America, who are seeking relief from
the industrial court law, which they
claim is unconstitutional for the rea-
son that it is in direct conflict with the
state and national constitutions and
because it impairs the obligation of
contracts and conflicts with the thir-
teenth amendment in regard to invol-
untary Servitude. The, defendants in
the action are w. L. Higgins, John Fl.
Crawford and James A. McDermott,
as members of the Industrial court.
and Richard J. Hopkins, as attorney
general, whom the court is asked TO
enjoin from enforcing the law.
This is the second case in which
Judge John c. Pollock is asked to deal
! with the validity of the Industrial
court law. In another suit filed III
federal court recently, Judge Polio TX
was asked to issue a writ of habeas
corpus for the release of Alex Howat
from the Cherokee county Jail, where
the deposed mine union leader is serv-
ing a six months sentence for violat-
ing the law. This case is now under
advisement, a hearing having been
held before Judge Pollock early this
month.

sented as her child and said Barnes

ton with her first husband. Ray Var

would be shown in the evidence he

nine FLU CASES
Total for Week Up to Seven
teen, City Records Show.
Pneumonia Keeping Pace With
Influenza, Says DR.. Brown.

The prevalence of influenza and
pneumonia IN Topeka is giving the
city health department grounds for
serious consideration. Nine cases
were reported Tuesday, making the
total for the week, seventeen. "Pneu-
monia is keeping pace with the in
fluenza," DIR. Earle C. Brown, city
officer declared this morning.
DR.. Brown is at a loss to account Tor
the prevalence of the disease, altho
the weather is calculated to predispose
to colds and grip or influenza.
If it we're wet, l think we should
have double the number of cases,
however" DIR. Brown said today. Wet
weather means wet feet, and they
mean colds and flu"
Precautions which should be taken
by the public at the present time,
are mostly of the commonsense or
der of living, DR.. Brown said.
Be Careful of Coughing.
BE careful of coughing and sneez-
ing-use q handkerchief" DR.. Brown
said. Get plenty of fresh air and
good wholesome food. Avoid undue
exposure Dress in commonsense
fashion. Avoid careless splitting"
The symptoms of influenza are the
same as those of grip, DR.. Brown says
Generally they include headache and
a severe backache, sneezing, a high
temperature and perhaps chills.
There are other individual symp-
toms. which do not apply generally:
At the present time the epidemic SEEM
to attack members of the same fam
lily. so that the number of families
involved is small. There have not
been any deaths as a result of the in
