12 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUHlTAIr-SATUEDAY EVENI1TQ, JULY 20, 1007. WHATISANSVER? Mr. ' Jackson Asks Standard Some Puzzlers. Wants Names of All the Stockholders.

Interrogatories in the antitrust suits against the Standard Oil 'company of Indiana, the Standard Oil company of Kan-is. and the Prairie Oil & Gas company, were filed today In the su preme court, and similar Interroga tories In the case against the Interna tional Harvester company will be filed this afternoon. Some time next week Interrogatories will be filed In the mil lers' trust suit. . Justice Silas Porter, before whom 'Assistant Attorney General John Daw eon went to present his motions, set the hearing for the. application on August 5. In addition to the interrogatories, a motion was filed to require each of the companies named to produce cer tain books and papers relating to the business of the company. This interrogatory system is old to the equity courts of the country, but new to the Kansas state law. It was provided for by the bill prepared last winter by the attorney general's de partment, and Introduced in the sen ate by Senator George Tucker. This bill, after being bitterly fought by the : corporations in both branches, was ; finally passed In mutilated form, and I was ready to go to the governor. This : bill was mysteriously . lost. and . stayed lost for several days, while everybody was hunting wildly for it. : It was a period of suspense for the ; chief clerks of the house and senate, but finally the bill turned up safe. It Is said to have been In the possession of a well known corporation hireling, and would never have been heard of again if its loss had not been discover ed in time. In the cases against the Standard Oil company of Indiana, and the Standard Oil company of Kansas, the interrogatories are very much the same. There are 28 questions for the Standard Oil company of Indiana, 26 for the Standard Oil of Kansas, and S6 for the Prairie Oil & Gas company. Some of the questions asked of the Prairie Oil & Gas company are as fol lows: State the names of the officers and board of directors of the Prairie Oil & Gas company?

What proportion of the crude oil produced in Kansas oil fields was pur chased by the Prairie Oil & Gas com pany during the years 1903, 1904, 1905 and 1906? .

Green Thinks Xcw Issue Can Be Disposed of at Homo. Kansans have become so much the bloated bond holders that In order to relieve the clamor the city may bo forced to throw open Its intended is sue of $100,000 of improvement bonds to the public for popular sub scription. The bonds bear 5 per cent Interest and are to be issued to pay for the paving which the city -has just con tracted for. The bonds run ten years. payable In ten annual installments. The bonds are issued in denomina tions of J 1,000 each. "I have had several people come to me of late wanting to know how they could get several of these bonds from the city. said Mayor Green, Kansas is rich and the state has lots of money. I believe we can do bet ter by disposing of these bonds right here among our home people than selling them to bankers and invest ment brokers in the east. "Instead of advertising In the bond papers in the east we could advertise right here in the papers and offer to dispose of the bonds to individuals on a subscription basis. It has never been done by the city but that is no reason why it should not be done. The state as I understand by the reports of the state bank commis sioner has over $120,000,000 on de posit In its banks. A lot of this money is not drawing any Interest simply lying there Idle while what is drawing interest is at the rate of two or three or maybe four per cent. On the other hand these bonds represent a safe form of Investment, you could n't get anything better, and they bring in B percent. Besides the man who makes an investment of this kind gets one-tenth of his sum back each year and has a chance to reinvest it again." The city has always disposed of an entire issue of bonds to one purchas er, never splitting up an issue among several investors. Bond and broker age houses have submitted bids and upon the amount of premium has de pended the award of the issue. After having secured the bonds the successful banker divides up the is sue and distributes It for sale among his correspondents offering it at a price to the Intending purchaser at a figure which contemplates a neat profit Including the cost of selling them in addition to taking into con sideration of the premium paid the olty. The investor, who may reside In Kansas then purchases Topeka bonds at a price In excess of what he would have paid had he purchased them dl rect from the city. Topeka's improvement bonds will be issued during the month of Au gust probably, not later anyway than the middle or September. MUST GO TO TRIAL. Judge Dana Overrules Demurrer In McCabe Case. City Attorney Drerinlng's efforts to quash the suit brought by James Mc Cabe, former dry engineer, for his sal ary amounting to over three hundred dollars, during the itme of his suspen sion from office, by urging a demurrer to it. were fruitless. Judge Dana overruled this demurrer In the city court this morning and the case will now come to trial at some future date. In overruling the de murrer Judge Dana declared that the courts generally were not inclined to deny any officer the right to a salary If by any possibility he might be en titled to it MAIET TO HELP ON RULES.

NEW ATTRACTION AT V INK WOOD Diavolo, a High Diver, Will Give Free Exhibitions. The Stadium Trio closes their en gagement at Vlnewood Park this evening and the free attraction tor next week will be "Diavolo" who will leap from a ninety foot ladder into the park lagoon at a point where the wa ter Is less than four feet in depth. There have been a number of acts at the park this season of the hair rais ing class but the feat of Diavolo is said to surpass all of them in daring. Dlovolo," Who Will Be at Vlnewood Next Week. Diavolo is a past master In the art of high diving, having a record of a plunge through the air of 135 feet when he made his famous leap from the highest pinacle of the structure. He starts head first standing on a platform at an elevation which makes him appear as a boy though he is a man of ordinary size, turning half over Just before he strikes the water and lights feet first. The dive of Diavolo has been the feature at many of the larger eastern parks where a canvas tank has been used but the lagoon offered an attrac tiveness to the diver which he could not resist and then it is something of job to nil a tank each day when the mercury stands around the hundred mark and there is no water system convenient. The act, which is free, will take place twice a day. In the afternoon at three o'clock and again in the evening at nine o'clock. Fewer Pensioners More Money. Though the number of pensioners who receive their pensions from the Topeka office are less than that of last year by 2,089, the amount that they receive Is in excess by S488.214. Tne total num ber now on the rolls ending June 30, 1907. is 111.508. while last year it was 113,597. The pensions issued this year represented $16,028,170.40. In the sale of the Col.

GRAND LODGE HERE Prominent Members Attempt to Have Topeka Designated as Headquarters. Headquarters for the grand lodge for the state of Kansas may be established by the Knights of Pythias in Topeka. At least that Is what some 700 loyal Knights are hoping, trusting and working for. For some time a committee has been quietly at work looking around for a suitable site on which to construct an office to house the officers connected with the grand lodge and also the ex tensive library and the many documents which pertain to the organization. There are three lodges in Topeka, lodge 38 has 275 members, lodge 251 has 250 members and lodge 155 has 175 members. . Alt three of these will meet this evening at Security hall for - the purpose ,of dis cussing the establishment here of the offices of the grand lodge. - With the same object in view the presence Is ex pected here of -Charles A. , Barnes of Jackson, Illinois,! supreme chancellor; Henry B. Brown of Cleburne, Texas, su preme vice chancellor; Sam Oarrett of Leavenworth, grand chancellor; Bv E. Rlvely of Kansas City, Kansas, grand vice chancellor, and Zeno M. Host of Chicago, General manager of the insur ance department. Wichita is very anxious to take away this prize from Topeka and the local Knights are accordingly carrying on a very spirited fight. At present the head quarters are maintained for the uniform rank at Leavenworth and the grand lodge officers at Kansas City, Kansas. Both would be transferred if the grand lodge headquarters are maintained In Topeka. COOLEY IN TOPEKA. Thinks White Sox Are Better Than Last Season. Dick, Cooley, one of the owners of the Topeka baseball team, and the present captain of the Louisville team In the American Association was in Topeka a short time this morning visiting with his mother and friends and looking af ter his property interests in this city. The Louisville team is now playing in Kansas City and Dick took advantage of the opportunity and took a short run up to Topeka. Cooley 's very much pleased with the aggregation which is playing for To peka now and 'says that Topeka has a much better and stronger team in all departments than-they had last season. "If I had only had this- team last sea son I would have' won the pennant In such easy fashion that that race would have been finished in the first two months. I think Topeka has the best team in the Western Association at the present time and I have been following the dope pretty close. I fall to see, however, why they are so far behind Wichita. I think the team if properly handled ought to finish in first place. "In regard to the team at Louisville I am satisfied with the showing made. We have a bunch -Composed mainly of castoffs from the Kansas team and with this aggregation I think I have put up a good fight. Since the shift was made in the team a few weeks ago every game nearly that we have lost has been close and we have won with regularity. We get players from Kan sas City that are.not quite good enough for that team and then we turn in and beat Kansas City. So far we have taken eight out of twelve from that team. I think that we will be able to finish in the first division. .With Bert Jones of the Topeka team we would have no trouble in going right up the ladder. But I will leave mm nere where he can play and help Topeka win the pennant. "I was greatly pleased when I secur ed Erwin for the Topeka team. Erwln led the league in hitting before he hurt his finger and was compelled to quit the game. He was the regular catcher of the St. Paul team and they are now sorry that they let him go. He will win a home in Topeka before the season is over and will be recog nized as one cf the best men in the Association. Bunton ought to make a good pitcher for this league and I was gled when I got permission to let him come here. I think that the trouble with Wright was that he was not han dled right as he' pitched a good game in Louisville." - Cooley left thta.

The efforts of the im plicated parties in trying to keep the affair under cover has aroused some of the leading doctors of the city in favor of an inquest. HAVE THE CASH READY. New York Life to Pay S2 18,000 Per kins Insurance. " Kansas City, Mo., July 20. Authorita tive statement was made today by. Wil liam Hughes of the New York Life In surance company that no effort will ; be made to evade payment of the $300,000 insurance policy of Lucius Perkins of Lawrence, Kansas. Mr. Hughes said this afternoon: "Wa have got $218,000 of the insurance money ready to turn over to the beneficiaries right now. This is in the office here at this time and ready to be paid. The only reason that it has not been paid over Is on account of the absence of.the man who wrote the insurance in the first place. It is considered new insur ance and we always grant the privilege of payment of the insurance in new in surance to the agent who wrote the In surance. The balance of the Insurance will be ready Just as soon as the bene ficiaries establish their identity. "We always demand the establish ment of the Identity of the beneficiary. We never row. with a widow. If we have any row" coming, we row with the man while he is yet alive and not with his widow. This is said with all due respect to the Insurance company brlmrlnw suit. There is no truth at all in the rumor that we have any strings tied to the payment of the $300,000." J. S. Dean, one of the attorneys for the New York Mutual contesting the Insurance arrived in Red Oak. Iowa, today and made application to Judge McPherson of the federal court for an order calling for the disinterment of the body of Perkins in order that an autopsy might be held. . ENORMOUS EARNINGS.

Ferguson, pastor of the First Methodist church, of University Place, a suburb, was suspended . from the church after a two . days' hearing on charges of misconduct with Mrs. Cross, a member of his congregation, at whose house he boarded. After hearing Ferguson deliver a powerful sermon on virtue, Mrs. Cross confessed to misconduct with the min ister at various places, including his study and hotels. The hearing was before seven Methodist preachers from surrounding cities. Although Mrs. Cross was the principal witness, several others sub tantiated her testimony. She testified that It was hot until she heard the powerful sermon on virtue that she realized her position. She finally suc ceeded in bringing herself to the task of making a confession to the church board. Milton Burke, cashier of the First National bank, who was also a boarder at Mrs. Cross' home, testified that the clergyman was Indiscreet even in the presence of the boarders.

Slept The first victim of Chief of Police Eaton's new rule against policeman smoking while on duty was Officsr H. A. Dusenberry, who was relieved from duty last night temporarily un der the "suspended for cause" clause. Though smoking while on a beat was the reason assigned for the canning it was but one of many reason that existed for the release of Dusenberry. There is plenty of proof that after the copper had enjoyed his after lunch smoke one night last week that he sought the easy chairs In front of the Hotel Throop and made for him self a bed and slept thereon. A ser geant was sent out to locate him, fearing that he might have met with an accident of some kind. He was located, but the locating process was his undoing and he was relieved from duty by Chief Eaton who recommended that the suspen sion be made permanent and there Is but little doubt that his recommenda tion will be acted - upon by Mayor Green. There have been numerous complaints . from various sources against Dusenberry who is one of the new policemen appointed since Mayor Green has been In the chair. It has been asserted that he has reported numerous cases that have never ex isted and caused the officers many wild chases where there was no pos sibility of a capture being made and in many Instances where no crime had been committed.
