1REASURER IS
INSTRUCTED TO
HOLD ROAD COIN
No Moro Monies Received From Roail
and Bridge Levy Can Be Expended
for Redemption of Warrants Until
Suit is Settled.
Judge Calkins Restrains Treasurer
From Placing Road Monies in Gen
eral Fund.
Judge I M. Calkins has Issued an
order restraining James Croncnilller,
county treasurer, from using any of
the money collected for road pur
poses. In redeeming general county
warrants. Tho order Is to remain In
effect until the court has had time
to arrive at n decision on the Injunc
tion suit brought by Denton flowers
and S. A. Carleton or Ashland to
check tho erection of a new bridge
over Bear creek In this city, i
Over one-half of the money de
rived from tho four mill tax levy
for road and bridge purposes by the
county of Jackson has been collected
nnd turned over to the county trea
surer but instead of being placed in
a road and bridge fund as specified
by the state law it has been placed
in the general county fund and has
been paid out for tho redemption of
county warrants. To bo exact: On
Juno 10, tho lastest figures available,
54S.075.S4 out bf approximately
$7C,000 which should bo placed in
a bridge and road fund has been
collected and nearly all of it expend
ed. Tho order of Judgo Calkins
forces tho county treasuror to dis
continue this practice.
Attorneys for tho county in ar
guing the injunction suit against tho
bridge called attention to the state
law which provides that money
raised by the rpad and bridge levy
should be placed In a distinct fund
nnd be used for road and bridge
purposes only. Continuing their ar
gument they declared that this
money should be available for such
purposes as the erection of tho Mcd
ford bridge and would not place the
county further in debt.
However, Jackson county has
never observed the state law, in re
gard to this fund, having never kept
a road fund. Present county offi
cials stato that they never saw a
"road" warrant, tho so-called "road"
warrants being paid out of the coun
ty general fund. Tho only record
on the county books, searched back
as far aB 1901, show tho only "road"
fund was kept In 1303 when be
tween $2,000 and J3.000 was re
ceived from the sale of state land&,
the law stating that this money must
b' , expended for road purposes only.
In accordance with this law the
county court In January In making
its tax levy, levied a four mill tax.
llils provided approximately $152,
000 for road and brldgo purposes dur
ing 1912. Of this amount there had
been collected by the sheriff and

papers, Thomas F. Ityan, the man
behind the Parker fight, denied him
self to all newspapers and in order
that the better to escape reporters,
scattered his time between four dif
ferent private apartments.
When located shortly beforo tho
convention was called to order, Ityan
flatly refused to receive cards from
any of the reporters. A private sec
retary recited the same speech to all
tno correspondents. "Mr. Ryan has
nothing to say to the newspapers, and
has no interest In what the news
papers Bay about him. They have
been abusing him for thirty years
and ho has become so used to It
that he would be rather lonesome
without their attentions. He has
no statement to give, out and will
have none. He Is here as a dele
gate nothing more."
During the morning Judge Parker,
Charles F. Murphy, August Belmont
and William F. Shechan called on
Ryan.

chosen.
A Fight of the. People
"This is uu epoch-making conven

quired; I know of the men working
on railroads who have risked their
bread and butter to aid the fight for
tho people. Men in business have
been threatened if they did not sell
their citizenship, hut I have seen them
defying the demands of predatory
wealth and voting for the masses.

"Now that the hour of triumph has

"John W. Kent has been faithful

Bryan then reviewed Kern's work
and said:
"Now. In is in the senate, where he

Here the disordrr ami cries ol
"Parker, Parker" and yolls and jeers

"I can contrast both candidates

Bryan "Not every man of good in

This was the signal for a wild out
burst from both galleries and much
of the audience.

"If the candidate elected hy the

two previous campaigns.

(hat that convention was influenced
