TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL. SATURDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 9,1901. READY FORSEWER That on Lower Kansas Arenue May Be Built Now, Engineer Thinks It Could Be Completed This Season. VERY MUCH NEEDED. Drainage of the District isYery Bad Indeed. Talk of City Damage Salts as a Result. In all probability the proposed 5-foot brick sewer from the foot of Jackson street to the river will be built this fall, under the city engineer's estimate of $2,470 for the job. It seems likely that if the sewer is not built at once, the following will be the results: "Made land" ir? the city park worth hundreds of dollars will be washed into tie river. The biff wholesale houses will refuse to carry out their present plana to build on lower Kansas avenue. Heavy damage suits may be brought against the city for flooded basements. Inareased cost in building the sewer next spring when the river is high. Nearly all of yesterday afternoon was spent by the council committee on sewers inspecting the proposed location for the sewer, and talking with busi ness men in the vicinity to ascertain J no exact needs. The result or tne con erence will be a favorable report to the council on the evening of Nov. 18. The sewer committee is composed of Council- men vVarner, Weber and Griley. The committee ascertained that upon the construction of the sewer depends in large measure the construction of two S20.00O wholesale houses on lower Kan aaa avenue next spring. If the sewer is not built, the proposed Whiting whole sale paint and glass house and the Whiteker wholesale commission house may be afraid to carry out their present intentions of building. A. member of the Parkhurst-Davls grocery firm told the committee that the city was likely to be sued for heavy damages in case the basement of that building should be again flooded as it Was once during the past season. A petition is now being circulated In the blocks adjoining the location o the proposed sewer, asking for the creation of a benefit district. This petition will come up at the next council meeting. "The proposed district extends from Kansas avenue to Van Buren, and First street to the river. The proposed line for the aewer is from the northwest corner of First ana Kansas avenue westward to the alley between Kansas avenue and Jackson, north along the alley to Crane street, west on Crane to Jackson, and thence directly through the city park to the river. The 250 feet through the city park is all the city has to pay for. The rest will be built by the residents in the benefit district. If the sewer is not built the city park is in danger. City Engineer McCabe says: "If we allow the water to flow through the park in that ravine, thou sands of wagon loads of dirt will be washed into the river. It has cost the city hundreds of dollars to fill in the dirt there, and it would cost many hundreds more to replace it if it is al lowed to wash out. Dirt is a scarce article in that part of town. It has to be hauled in from long distances, and costs a great deal of money." An inspection of the proposed site of the sewer in the city park shows that already the ravine of which Mr. Mc Cabe speaks has washed out a hole big enough to hide a house in, at the place where it reaches the river. The dirt is soft, and huge slices are continually slipping off into the water. If the river should rise, it is easy to see how the costly work of the past two years in Ailing in the city park could be undone in a few days. "Now is the time to build the sewer," says City Engineer McCabe. "Delay is not only dangerous, but is certain to be costly. It would not surprise me if $1,000 worth of damage should be done to the city park by the high water and ice this coming winter, if we allow the water to course down that ravine, and the swift current of the river to eat away the dirt as fast as it washes in. The city should at least put in the con crete and masonry at the mouth of the proposed sewer this fall. It can be done now at a saving of several hundred dollars, because the river is low, and it will not be necessary to build a coffer dam. If we wait till spring, the coffer dam will be necessary as a preliminary to building the opening of the sewer. "I believe that if work is commenced at an early date we can finish the sewer this winter. Work can progress as long as the weather does not freeze the mortar, and the temperature down In the ditch is several degrees higher than on the surface. I think the city will make a great mistake if it does not start in on the sewer at once and rush It to completion before the spring rains set In." The whole question will be placed in the bands of the council at the next meeting, on November 18. It seems likely that the favorable report of the committee on sewers will be adopted, and another step taken to help the city park and the ooming wholesale district of Topeka. FOOTBALL GAMES.

A mMake was made in the report of Judge Hazen's decision in th Topeka Savings bank cases and the stockhold ers, according to the court's ruling, are liable for their subscriptions. David Overmyer has made the following ex planation of the decision on the motions: Some time ago the Topeka Savings bank which went out of business eight years ago instituted actions against several of the stockholders for their un paid subscriptions to stock. To this the stockholders set up seven distinct de fenses. The first defense in each case being a general denial need not be noticed as that might be made, in any case. The second pleaded the three year statute of limitations, but the court held that as this action was upon a. contract the three years' statute had no applica tion, the plaintiff having five years in which to bring an action from the time the cause of action accrued. This became the important question, the plaintiff bank contending that the cause of ac tion did not and could not accrue under the terms of the contract until a call was made upon the stockholder, the de fendants maintaining for their third de fense that the bank might have made a call earlier than it did, that it was its duty to make the call when it might have made it, and that consequently the statute of limitations would run from the date at which the call might Have been made, which was alleged to have been the first day of December, 1892. The court, however, held that the bank was not obliged to make the call simply because it might have made it; that the question of time and the propriety of the call was for the bank to decide, and that as the bank could not maintain an action upon the subscription until it made the call, therefore, no cause of ac tion accrued until the call was made, and the statute of limitations could not begin to run until a cause of action ac crued. The fourth defense set up by the de fendants was upon the ground that the general banking act of 1891 by its terms made all of the unpaid subscriptions of the Savings oank due. The bank, how ever, contended that the act had no ap plication and that if it should be con strued as applying to the Savings bank it would be unconstitutional as impair ing the obligation of the contract. The court held that the act of 1891 had no application to Savings banks previously organized. The fifth defense set up by the de fendants was upon the ground that as the Savings bank had ceased to do busi ness in March, 1896, that it then became the duty of the bank to call for all un paid subscriptions. The bank, however, contended that as no action accrued un til the call was actually made, therefore, the statute of limitations could not ap ply, and the mere fact of the bank ceasing to be a going concern could have no effect whatever upon the right of the bank to make the call at its own discretion, and this contention was sus tained by the court. The sixth defense questioned the ca pacity of the bank to bring an action, it being no longer a going concern, but as the court said, this was not seriously insisted upon and was easily disposed of as tne statutes of Kansas make ample provisions for Just such cases. The seventh defense set up the fact that the bank was no longer a going concern, that it had gone into volun tary liquidation on the 2nd of March, 1S96; that it had injudicious use of its assets, and that but for such injudicious use of its assets its Dills could all have been paid, and that there would be no occasion for a call upon the stockhold ers, and that therefore and for these reasons the stockholders became liable to pay when the bank closed its doors as a business institution, and that calls could not thereafter be lawfully made. and that the statute of limitations therefore and for those reasons ran from March 2, 1896. Again, the bank Invoked the principle that the stock could not be made pay able until the bank should call for pay ment, and that as the bank could not collect until it made a call, therefore the statute of limitations could not run against it upon the stock subscripion until the bank itself had made a call. The bank's contention as to the seventh defense was also sustained by Judge Hazen, grounding his decision upon the decisions of the supreme court of the United States, which was held in many cases that where calls are provided for in a contract between a corporation and a stockholder, there is no liability of the stockholder to pay until the call is made and consequently that the statute of limitations cannot run upon the con tract of subscription until a call is made by the corporation. Thus all of the defenses except the mere general denial set up by the stock holders were denied and overruled by the court, and the contention of the Savings bank was sustained at every point. The defendant prayed an appeal to the supreme court and pending the settlement of the question in that court in the case of defendant West, it was agreed between tne parties that the other cases should remain in abeyance. Judge Hazen remarked in delivering his opinion that the case was the most thoroughly argued of any case that was ever presented for his consideration. The arguments were made by David Overmyer, of the firm of Overmyer, Mulvane & Gault, for the Savings bank, defendant West was represented by Garver & Larimer and E. A. Austin. Football at Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 9. When the Univer sity of Chicago and Northwestern uni versity football teams met on Marshall field today the question with the spec tators was the size of the score North western would pile on the crippled 11a- roons. With Capt. Sheldon and Half back Norton out of an already weak eleven, Chicago had little hop of do ing better than holding Northwestern's score to modest proportions.

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS For Selling. II8c 10c B2Mc !0c to 9-30. DIDN'T FARE WELL. Bad Say For Liquor Law Violators in Supreme Court Violators of the prohibitory law who sought relief by appealing to the su preme court did not fare well in the de cisions rendered today. One of these, W. R. Allen, is a prominent hotel pro prietor of Kingman. His hotel, the Brunswick, is the leading hotel in the town. There was liquor sold in the hotel and Allen was convicted on two counts. His attorneys appealed to the supreme court on the ground that the information against Allen did not show just when nor where the violations took place, but the supreme court holds that this is not necessary and that if the of fense is shown to have been committed within the Jurisdiction of the court try ing it, that is all that is necessary. Al len will have to pay the penalty. Frank Shinn, an Elk county drug gist, was convicted of violating the pro hibitory law on eight counts. He was charged with selling liquor to a man whom he ought to have known was an habitual drunkard and would use the liquor illegally. The supreme court holds that a drug gist might believe that a man was an habitual drunkard and would use the liquor illegally, but unless the buyer actually did so the druggist would not be guilty, and the prosecution would have to show that the liquor was act ually used for drinking purposes. This was done in three of the eight counts and these were affirmed, but the other five were remanded for further pro ceedings. KNOCKS OUT INJUNCTION. Traders' lave Stock Association Re lieved on a Technicality. Because the members of the Farm ers' Live Stock association did not show that the Traders' Live Stock ex change, which does business in the Kansas City stock yards, injured them in their operations as a trust, the su preme court dissolves the injunction ob tained by the Farmers' association against the Traders. The Traders' exchange has about 180 members. When it was organized the membership fee was 50 cents. This has been increased by degrees until it is now $500, for the purpose, it is alleged, of keeping the membership as small as possible. One of the rules of the exchange is that "this exchange will not recognize any yard trader unless he is a member of this exchange." and heavy penalties are prescribed for any member who deals with outsiders. This made an effectual boycott on outsiders and was resented by the Farmers' association. An injunction suit was brought to pro hibit the members of the exchange from enforcing the penalties against outside trading, and Judge Holt of the court of common pleas of Wyandotte county granted the injunction. The Traders appealed and the supreme court re verses the decision and dissolves the in junction because the Farmers' associa tion does not show that it was Injured by the penalty.

Young Man Confesses to Forging a Small Checjt F. Haley, who has lived in Topeka nearly all the 19 years of his life, was arrested today on the charge of forgery, and has confessed his guilt. He is locked up in the city prison, but will be turned over to the state authorities. Haley has worked as a cook at the Copeland and National hotels. He was about to leave for Colorado, and had already shipped his trunk there. He evi dently expected to make a small "stake" before quitting the town. He went to Fisher's clothing store on East Sixth avenue and bought a sweat er and a few other articles, and tend ered in payment a check for $12 drawn on the Bank of Topeka and signed with the name of Wm. Bradbury. The proprietor of the store suspected that the check was bad, and held Haley while he sent the check to the bank. It was pronounced a forgery, and Police man Voiles came and placed Haley un der arrest. When searched at the po lice station another foro-ed check on the same bank for the sum of J10 was dis covered. The $10 check was signed with the name of W. M. Brown. Haley claims that t his is tois first offense, and when arrested made a clean breast of the whole transaction. NO FAVORITISM Army Promotions Will Be Made on Merit. Washington, Nov. 9. The president to day declared to Senator Cullom of Illi nois that in making promotions to the brigadier generalship soon to become va cant, he would be governed entirely by the record; that it was his intention to promote those whose records showed thero to be moet deserving of promotion, and that neither personal considerations nor influence would count. Senator Cul lom had called on behalf of Major Bal lance, who went into the army from Peo ria, and Major McClernand. a son of Gen. McClernand. The latter was Gen. Shat ter's adjutant during the Santiago cam paign. Senator Burrows of Michigan talked with the president today about financial legislation. Senator Burrows is a member of the finance committee of the senate and is strongly opposed at this time to any further reduction of the government's income. "I do not believe," said he, "that it would be wise to tinker with the revenues until we know exactly what money will be needed. If we are to build the Nicar agua canal and provide liberal amounts for the improvements of rivers and har bors, it would be the height of folly at this time to slash the revenues." , BURTON MAY GO FREE. Man Convicted of Murder to Have New Trial. Robert Hawthorne Burton, who was convicted of murder in the first degree for shooting Fred Hoffman in Marion a little less than a year ago, and who would consequently be given the death penalty, has been given a chance to go free by the supreme court. He will have a new trial and be permitted to show that he acted in self defense. There was a romance back of the al leged murder. Burton and Hoffman were rivals for the hand of the same girl, Jessie Doty, a Marion county girl. Burton was a young painter who went to Marion early in 1900. Last November he was engaged to do some painting for the girl's father, and while doing it he boarded at the Doty home. The girl was engaged to Hoffman at the time, but Burton seems to have made inroads into her affections. Hoffman became jealous of his rival and one day accused him of telling Jes sie Doty that he, Hoffman, was merely trifling with her affections. Burton de nied saying it and Hoffman dared him to deny it in the girl's presence. "If you will stand up before Jessie Doty's face," said Hoffman, "and tell us that you didn't tell her that, there will be a corpse and a funeral procession if you can get anybody to bury you in Marion." The two made an appointment to meet with the girl in Drake's restaurant on the following Monday, November 19. Before that time Burton went to the girl and asked her not to go because he was sure there would be trouble and he did not want to be mixed up in it. When Hoffman entered the restaurant on Monday. Burton was waiting for him. A minute later Hoffman fell with a bul let wound in his head and he lived only a short time. Burton claimed that as his rival en tered the restaurant he called him. Bur ton, a name and reached for a revolver. Burton grabbed his revolver and shot, he claims, m self-defense. When Burton was tried for murder his attornevs were not allowed to show that the victim of the tragedy had made fre quent threats against their client, caus ing him to believe that his life was in danger. On this account the supreme court reverses the Marion county district court and grants Burton a new trial. Pennsylvania Complete. Philadelphia, Nov. 8.

The warrant was Issued In the city court. The arrest means that the question whether the Inquisition law is constitutional or not will be tested.
