build a special side track at LeoTille.
The commission had ordered the track
erected in the town. The supreme
court held that the elevator was To-
Gated more than a quarter of a mile
from the right-of-way of the RAILROAD
and that it would be much easier to
change the location of the elevator
than to build the extra trackage.
Boy Gets Slender Judgment.
Lena weide of Stafford county
must pay a judgment which the dis
trict court awarded Jack Dale Koontz,
a 1O-year-oId boy. The Stafford
county woman was sued by the boys
charged with theft of a pocketbook
containing $20.50. The evidence in
the trial of the case showed the boy
did not steal the pockethook, also that
Jack a dollar bill, which later was re-
turned.
Chief Justice Johnston, in the opiu-
ion, holds that the charge against the
boy was in itself actionable, since it
accused him of committing felony.
1t also is held that no bar to action
resulted when the defendant apot-
ogized and that the case was not set
tied when she gave the boy money,
There must be a meeting of the minds
of all parties and a mutual under
standing, the court holds. WI
State Controls in Gas Case.
The state supreme court reaches a
different conclusion from that of the
United States district court, in an
opinion handed down today, and hold
that until congress acts, the state
utilities commission has the power to
regulate the safe of natural gas in
Kansas by the Kansas Natural Gas
company.
The supreme court allowed the per-
emptory writ of mandamuS asked by
the utilities commission and the
Wyandotte County Gas company, and
ordered the Kansas Natural to re-es-
tablish and maintain rate of rs cents
thousand feet for gas delivered by
it to local distributing companies,
until different rate is established by
the utilities commission. The Kansas
Natural raised the rate at the city
gates to 40 cents two months ago.
Can Stay I'm the Road.
A driver of a vehicle does not have
to turn to the right to allow another
vehicle behind him to pass, if the road
is not good. and there is a good
stretch ahead for passing, the su-
preme court held today in affirming
the decision of the Douglas county
district court. Frances Tucker, the
daughter of Lewis Tucker, in a buggy,
was driving across a cuIvert when w.
ID. Lyons, driving a car, overlook her.
Lyons honked, but the girl did not
turn out, fearing to get close to the
pass her, and ran into the buggy. He
should have waited until the girl
reached a favorable point, the court
held.
Medical Board Upheld.
Walter D. Jones, Jr., of Topeka, lost
his suit for permission to take the
state medical examination. The su-
preme court upheld a decision of the
Shawnee county district court denying
writ of mandamus to compel tho
state medical board to permit him to
take the state test,

the best were quoted above $500, two loads

Lighter weight hogs were active because

completed work in a school of this

take the examination and filed suit.
He was denied a writ by the district
court and that decision was affirmed
by the supreme court Justice DaW-
also joined with Justice West in spe-

Must Have the Money.
Kansas towns must have the money
available when the commissions order
extensions for local utilities. That was
the decision of the supreme court
when it reversed the Montgomery
county district court and held that
the city of Coffeyville could not make
contemplated betterments in the light
plant.
Proposed extensions were to cost
$46,350. There was a balance of $780,
900 in the Coffeyville light fund. The
district court denied an application for
an injunction. The supreme court
held that the injunction must be
granted and declared that better
ments may be made by the commits
sion only when there is enough money
on hand to meet the expense.

Today,s short stock market session was

Prices were manly lower at the hesitant

changes of note in the early dealings were
a one point decline in Louisville and Nash
