R, LIEN POSTPONE STRIKE t Delay of Walkout Was Asked by Miners. New Conference With Lloyd George Is Arranged. TRANSPORT WORKERS BALK Much Depends on General Labor Congress Wednesday. Speculation Rife as to Action by Parliament Monday. London, Oct. 23. The nation-wide railway strike scheduled to start at midnight Sunday as a sympathetic demonstration with the miners' walk out, was postponed this evening at the request of the miners. S The request was made at a joint conference of the miners and railway men's executive boards, It was under stood. The reason assigned by the miners for their request was that Premier Lloyd George had Invited them to par ticipate in a conference to attempt a settlement of the strike and they did not wih to be embarrassed in their negotiations by threat of a' railway strike. On Ad vice of Miner. The official statement issued by the miners said that, acting on their ad vice, the railway workers had suspend ed their sympathetic strike, "to give every opportunity for alt' honorable settlement." The suspension, it was s;ild. would cont'nue during the period of negotiations between the miners ard the government. J. H. Thomir general secretary of the national union of railway men, announced to the press that he was striving for the immediate convoci t!on of a ccn'erence between the op posing forces. Informal conversations between the government and Individual leaders of the striking British coal miners were resumed th s morning. These discus sions followed conference betweer Premior Lloyd George and several other members of the government in which the secretary of the miners' organization was one of the partici pants. representatives of the mine owners also conferred with the government. New Turn Was Expected. Two events were scheduled today which were expected to afford an op por. unity to avert the strike of railway workers, scheduled for midnight Sun day and open the way for settlement of the miners' strike. Thry wern: Meeting of the executive council of the miners' federation, pre liminary to a joint conference with the e:;eru Ive council of the railway union. Joint conference of railway men's and miners' representatives to discuss the lo.mer'r, p'ans for settlement of the Lit e s differences with the govern ment. It. It. Men In Battle. Altho the railway workers, domi nated by the radical element, voted to go out in a sympathetic strike, they were said to be facing serious dissen sif n within their ranks because of the refusal of J. H. Thomas, their secre taiy. to l"ad such a demonstration. This r.tuation led certain officials and prcrs to predict the railway men v. ,11 f ml means today to induce t'.io miTi-rs to reopen their case. Thomas's refusal to sign the strike notices rent out was understood to have been based on his belief calling a sympathetic strike would virtually wreck the union. Government Optimistic. The belief was exDressed tn official circles the transport workers the third dlvls-ion of the, triple alliance would refuse officially to call a sym pathetic strike, altho 8.000 were out in Yorkshire as the result of a local difoute. The Chronicle declared the miners ,weie careful during their preparation for the prcrent strike to adopt resolu tions so the knot they tied could easily be unraveled. The Post believed railway men, will find an excuse for pretending negotia-' tions have been reopened, altho An drew Ponar Law, speaking in com mons yesterday, refused pointedly to describe unofficial conversations as "negotiations" and avoided any ground tor suggesting the railway men's threat had influenced the government. Emergency Bill Monday. Parliament will reconvene Monday to pass emergency legislation. It was earned authoritatively at the board of trade that the government would make no advances before tomorrow, expecting the railway workers to re scind their strike notices. The parliamentary committee of the trades union congress has summoned a conference of representatives of the affiliated unions for Wednesday to discuss settlement of the miners' strike.

BOTH SIDES REST TODAY Four Says Were Consumed in Examinations. Schenck Certain Defendant Will Be Acquitted. Examination of prospective Jurymen in the Rufe King case has been post poned until5 Monday, when a third venire of fifty men will report In the Osage county district court, according to J. J. Schenck, King's attorney, who returned to Topeka Friday night. When the second list of forty men was exhausted, both sides rested until more men could be obtained. The state has only one peremptory challenge left. The defense has four. It is hoped that a Jury may be selected uy Monday night and that the case will go to trial Tuesday morning, or not later tnan Tuesday afternoon. Four Days' Examinations. Four days of this week, were con sumed in the examinations. None of the jurymen .have been accepted by either side for a certainty. A great many were disqualified because they said they had read of the case and formed an opinion as -to King's guilt or innocence. Many more were ex-1 cused because of sickness in their homes. Many were disqualified be cause they said they did not believe in convicting a man on circumstantial evidence. Certain iing Will Go Free. Schenck said today he felt certain that King would be acquitted because the evidence against him is purely cir cumstantial. He scoffed at the idea that the skeletons dug up in Maple Hill could possibly be identified. It is also apparent that the defense has some surprises to spring at the trial which the attorneys are not yet willing to make public. Nearly a year has been occupied in preparing the former liveryman's de fense. This has involved trips to Ok lahoma, Texas and California, the tak ing of many depositions and searches for persons presumed to know some thing in King's favor. Expect Many Visitors. It is believed that the little town of Lyndon will be crowded with visitors when the trial opens. When the case opened last Tuesday parking space on the main street was at a premium, but as the selection of a Jury began to drag the visitors departed to await the hour when the taking of testimony should begin. The hotels are already well filled and rooming accommoda tions promise to be very scarce next week. MORGANATIC WIFE HI8L NCRSE. Kins Alexander of Greece May Re cover Result of Fight for Life.

Tlie state school fund commission must practically suspend purchase school bonds until January. An nouncement of this action was made today by L. J. Pettijohn. secretary of state and a member of the state school fund commission. School bond purchases by the state commission have been heavy during the last few months. In consequence there is no money for additional pur chases at this time. A number of of- feriiners. have been laid aside until more money is available. The action will doubtless delay numerous pro- posed building projects in cities and school districts. Difficulty has been encountered in disposing of the bonds thru agences and on the open market at this time. MINE OFFICERS SHOT DOWN. Blood Hounds and Federal Troops Hurried to the Scene.

He had considerable trouble recently with ihi tenants flit-satisfied with larKe in creases in their rent, according to in formation given to police, and author ities believe he may have been shot by one nf the renters with whom he quar reled. According to the stdry told Lieut. Martin O'Mallev, by Sextro, Rev. Mr. Huff apparently had passed by his own apartment and went up to the second floor, where Sextro lives. "I heard some one fumbling around St the door with keys." rtcxtro said. "The apartment of Hiram White, who lives on the third floor, had been rob bed a few nights ago and we were all anxious about burglars. "When my wife and I had listened to the noise at the door for a few sec onds, I went and got my revolver and threw the door open. I saw a dark form In the hallway. So Answer Fired. "'Who are you?' I demanded. There was no answer. I shot once and the body fell to the floor and rolhsd down the stairs to the first landing. As the body was rolling I caught a glimpse of ,the man's face and it was then that I1 realized who I had shot." I'ollce were unable to obtain any loslcn.1 fxplanation of why Rev. Ruff had gone to the second floor Instead of stopping at his own apartment. The theory was advanced he might have absent-mindedly walked past his own tiro:'. Mrs. Ruff and the children had gone eut to the Automobile In front of the apartment house where they adjusted the baggage and made other arrangements for the trip while Rev. Huff was supposed to be shutting the windows, locking the doors and get ting the apartment in shape to leave. Helen, 14-year-old daughter of the pastor, said her fathor had been out to the automobile once bringing out some packages, and had returned to the apartment to be sure everything was all right before leaving: Had Been Before. Bent Probe. "We heard a slight noistt and a sound like a shot but thought nothing of it," she sutd. "A minute later a You Should Know That if you are not now receiving: all you should in the way of service, we would be pleased to have you put our facilities to the test.

She was the first one to reach her husband's side after the shooting. The pastor was ttiken to St. Vincent's hospital In Evanston, but was dead when the ambulance reached the institution. Helen was in her first year of high school and is the oldest of the chil dren. IHirtng the Investigation a few months by a committee of aldermen into the high rent conditions In Chi cago, the Rev.

Claims Capital Not Sincere in Solving Economic Problems. Washington, Oct. 23. Secretary Frank Morrison of the American Fed eration ef Labor today replied to the American Bankers' association resolu tion calling on labor "to abandon the economic fallacy that it can attain greater prosperity thru a reduction of output." "The bankers." said Morrison, "re peat phonographic utterances about labor,- capital and brains and the need

for labor to produce more. These bankers are delightful hum orists when they lecture about pro ducing more. Let them tell their story to the, automobile workers in the mlddlewest who are laid off by thou sands. Let them preach to textile workers in the east, where raills are I shut down by one of the nation's most U.n,fnl rirhest trusts f0, e ,na r. ..i 'Let them tell building craftsmen their story.

Every bituminous mine field in the United States but Alabama and Mingo county. West Vir ginia is in full operation. In tjiese two exceptions, the miners are strik ing for a living wage. "The miners elsewhere are smash ing all production records and yet we find the price of coal prohibitive and bankers lecturing on the need for greater productioh. The government s-- recora or ex ports of .manufactured goods does not sustain the bankers' position. Let the bankers insist that the law of supply and demand for which they profess such high regard be permitted tt op erate.

IEAL WAR SIGHTED International League IVonld Block Baltimore's Ambitions. Seeks to PreTent Franchise Being; Granted in Xew League. New Tork, Oct. 13. Fresh fire was thrown under the seething baseball pot here today. David L. Fultr. president of the In ternational league, one of the powers of the minors, threatened court action to prevent the' Invasion of Toronto and Baltimore for the proposed neiff twelve Glub league. "It is hardly conducive to a restor ation of confidence' in the honesty of the national game that the first offi cial act of the proposed new board will bo an attempt to violate not only a definite agreement to respect minor league territory but to violate a tradi tion as firmly grounded as the game itself," he said. As the formation of the new twelve club league depends entirely on what action is taken by the five American league cljibs opposing the reorganiza tion of baseball, no cities had been definitely considered for addition to the circuit. By his statement, Fults is the only minor league head who has gone oil record as opposing the new reorgani sation "scheme.

Mexico City, Oct. 23. Gen. Alvaro Obregon, president-elect of Mexico, re turned from Dallas, Tex., yesterday afternoonand told interviewers he was impressed by the cordiality of the re ception given him there. He declared he looked upon KiSS indicating a changed opinion toward Mexico on the part of Americans. Asked why Pres ident Wilson had not recognized the hew Mexican government, General Obregon replied: "President Wilson wants to know first what the policy of the new gov ernment will be. Ha has always acted with .extreme caution in international affairs of this kind, and it is probable he has never intended to recognise the new government until absolutely con vinced of its good intentions. The government is strong, popular and toady to comply with its international obligations and I believe Mr. Wilson will have no objection to sanctioning recognition. DISOOVBR MIKDER MYSTERY.

Tribune Action of the grain markets in advancing late yesterday was said .by close observers to be nn indi cation of what is likely to happen every week cr so when the markets become sold out snd congested on the short side. It was taid at the close that any further ad vance id wheat might bring increased of ferings freui the country, and with the ex port demand said to be satisfied for the time being, it would take a lot of buying to absorb the Increased offerings'. While sentiment in coarse grains remains largely bullish, there was a little shifting late in the day, with active covering to obtain profits. Four months ago the world's 1020-21 sur plus wheat supplies were estimated at udtt,000,UOO bushels at the extreme, against a 'Uemand of ooO.OOO.OOO bushels.

L t THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1920 4 S In State Politics THEY WILL WIN? Republicans Sure to Control I Aew Legislature. Count on Thirty-two for Senatorial Places. ONE HUNDRED IN HOUSE Twelre ..Regular Fights State Senators. for Only One Comes Back Without Opposition. BY A. L. SHULTZ. Republicans will control both branches of the new state legislature by large 'majorities. There is little Ooubt of such domination in view of conditions In the 165 representative and state senatorial districts. It looks at this time as tho the Republicans can rather safoly count on 32 of the sO state senatorial places possibly as many as 35 it the senators while the 1921 house will be composed of 100 to 110 Republicans. In othef words, twenty-five or thirty legislative Jobs look like a maximum haul for the Bourbons in the Novem ber election-. At present the Repub licans have thirty of the forty senators and 110 of the 125 houie Jobs. Just at this time the senatorial fighting looks more serious than the contest for seats in the house. Twelve Regular Fights". There are seemingly twelve regular fights for the senatorial togas. It Is hurdly possible that the Republicans will lose more than eight of these con tests and mi;;ht secure an even break or better. In fact, with a sw.ng to the party In the state, local candidates will benefit thru tendencies to "vote 'cr straicht." Democrats did not make state sena torial nominations in nine of the forty districts. In SI of the 125 representa tive districts no Democrat nominee Ta. named In August. Subsequent ccrtlf'cation by local committees may rfford some nominal opposition' to cniidiclotes In. a few of the districts. Put party apathy which does not call for nominations in August seldom mrans success in November. Only one state senator is coming lirick without oonosition. That is Sen ator J. M. fv-.ttcrthwaite of the Twenty fifth district.. Senator Satterthwaite E'rvod In the house in 1013-16 and cmo to the senate in sessions of" 1917-1n-."0. He is a Republican, editor of tho. Douglnss Tribune and the Quaker mMnber of the Kansas legislature. Two tVltt!fut Opposition. Two Republican houe members are runninc v. lthout opposition. They are A. 1'. Burdick of Atchison county and ,Fraik Mclvor of Sheridan county. 'Hu:-tllek is the Republican nominee in the CfConrt senatorial district, while rJcIvrr -was named in the Thirty-ninth j ill-trict, Prnr. tor Charles E.

Rowland E. James, Democrat, is out for the strong union labor vote and Ridgway's friendship and Intimacy with the governor, which was an asset at the opening of the last regular session, is a liability in the packing house and railroad districts of Wyandotte county. Holla W. toleman, senator from the Johnson-Miami district, has some op position among the farmers' organiza tions on the one hand and the Osa watomie shop vote on the other. Senator- Coleman is opposed by E. F. Schiefelbusch. Newspaper corre spondents who expect to cover senate assignments and find difficulty in re ducing a sneeze toj typewriter keys, are pulling for Coleman's re-election. Down in the Bourbon county dis trict Senator A. M. Keene Is in trouble up to his eyes. Keene voted against the industrial court act in order to gain the friendship of the Fort Scott shopmen. But. his flirtation with union labor caused separation from Republican business men and farmers favorable to the law. It also, placed him on the south, side of the fence with tho state ticket and rendered ef forts in his behalf by the state organ ization both clumsy, inconsistent jand somewhat ineffective. J. L. Kepley is the Democrat nominee. Fight iu Crawford County. Alexander Howat clamors fo raw meat in Crawford county. That is Howat's home and M. C. Vincent -of Girard is the human sacrifice sought by the mine union head. Vincent's defeat is demanded that Howat may stand Justified for his industrial court fight among his own people. Demo crats who can be held in line, as well as several' thousand Socialists in the Ninth district, are to be delivered elec tion day in an effort to elect H. F. Leonard of Girard. Democrat. Vin cent's defeat is one slice of Howat's pound of flesh from the breast of the Allen administration. Senator Paul H. Kimball of Labette county may have much trouble in ne gotiating a return from the Eleventh district. Senator Kimball starts with the 'Katy shop vote on his wish bone. He gathers no tender words or ardent support from the Foley forces because of friendship for Judge Clyde M. Reed. Added to this is trouble over a local bank charter which threatens to drive an element of voters to E. A. Wallen of Parsons, the Democrat nominee. In Montgomery county a fight was started on F. M. Watklns. nominated for the senate after two terms in the house. On the face of developments, Watkins looks fairly safe except com mon dangers due to over confidence. In Twny-First District. Alfred Docking, endorsed, by farmer-labor union interests in' the pri maries, may have to fight for election! e "es woum greauy sweu.ine vote in H T-.ntv.fir district rwuioTTthis year.

Howard developed a free and generous habit of voting his convic tions while in Topeka. All of which caused some unfavorable comment and now his critics are threatening to vote for J. Day, WinfJeld Democrat. Een F. Hegler of Sedgwick county looks fairly safe, altho he may have a full day's work defeating Senator Frank Nighswonger in the Twenty ninth district. Nighswonger is one of the Democrats who came to the senate in the political turnover of 1912. He liked the Job and came back in 1916 Jt the expense of Darcey Dunne. Now he is seeking to measure Hegler for the knockout November 2. In the Thirty-fifth district Dr. James C. Butler of Stafford is encountering much difficulty in his desire to defeat R. C. Gates of Seward, a Democrat. T,ocfl"cnnditions control the situation. Doctor Butler was the senatorial nomi nee four years aeo, but lost when Sen ntor Sutton of St. John won a second four-year, term in the senate. A Biff Scrap. The Reno-Pratt-Kingman district will see one of the pretty fights of the election. W. L. flronlaw. Brown of f Kingman is carrying trouble to Carr i W. Taylor of Hutchinson in a galvan ized tub. Of course. Brown is aided by friends of candidates defeated in the primaries and is busily making capital of Taylor's local difficulties. The fi&ht of the foxy Bourbon against th? former attorney for the old rail road board, is worth watching. Assuming the Republicans should lope eight of these twelve contests, they would stilt control the upper house with a majority of eleven and would be able to submit a constitu tional measure with four votes extra.

BE HEAVIEST VOTE EVER Women's Ballots to Increase Returns Forty Per Cent. If Many Stay Away From Polls G. O. P. May Be Beaten. Chicago, Oct. 23. The "scratch" voters are causing a bumper growth of gray hairs on pates of politicians for the first time in a presidential cam paign. "This fourth dimension" injected in 1920 politics comprises eighty per cent oT the voters, according to party lead ers hee, who say this is their sole fret as the campaign enters Its final swing.. j'- Nearly enfranchised women com prise a part of the "unknown quan tity" altho many partisans believed the majority of these first voters would follow party lines. Iicugue Tangles Ticket. The league o nations vlssue has tangled the tickets until Democrats and Republicans have become rare specimens, according to Frank, Dore mus, regional chairman of the Demo cratic national committee here. "There'll be a lot of Republicans vote for Governbr Cc- and the league and some Democrats will go the other way," Doremus said. "Many voters may follow party lines in state and municipal balloting, but on the national and senitorinl questions they'll vote for the issue; realizing the president must have a favorable con gress to secure the things for which he stands." Vote 40 Per Cent Heavier. Congressman J. W. Good. Iowa, at 'Republican headquarters here, declar ed the addition of -women voters, the great increase1 in -naturalization and the additional population of the Unit-

of forty per cent over the last presi dential vote, when 18,526,000 ballots were cast. "But tms will be a mighty light vote, considering the number that should turn out," Good said. "The, suffrage amendment enfranchises 8,000,000 women.' This with tb other factors should give a total vote nearly double that of four years ago. But many voters arc going to stay away from the polls, particularly in southern states, because they can't conscientiously sup port Governor Cox and the league, and yet they want to retain their Demo cratic affiliations." Light Vote Will Beat C. O. T. Heads of speakers' bureaus cited the number of prominent persons who have announced stands for or against the league in contradiction of their known party feelings, as evidence of the criss crossing of political lines. Declaring many voters intended re maining away from the polls Novem ber 2 because their league of nations view does not coincide with their par tisan sentiment, Victor Heintz, regional chairman of the Republican national committee today said a light vote would favor the Democrats. Political headquarters here today turned attention to the ballot counting. Telegrams and instructions for report ing the Vote were sent state leaders with entreaties that everything be done to avoid a complication similar to four years ago when the outcome was not definite for days. Tabulations of ballots will' be more difficult this election (Jhan In the Wilson-Hughes voting because of the ad dition of women voters, due to the suf frage amendment and scratch voting. DECREASE IN EXPORTS This Is Glvra an Chief Cause for Slump in Wheat Prices. A decreased export demand forwheai, rather than board of trade "manipu lations," are given as tho chief cause for thre- heavy slump in wheat prices by I. D. Grahaiij, assistant secretary of the stat board of agriculture, who was formerly a member of the faculty of the Kansas State Agricultural col lege. However, he believes that sud den and wide variations on the board of trado market, over short periods of time, were not entirely due to natural causes. "When En si and quit buying: our wheat last July because we would not give credit and Argentina would and did, there was at once a slump in the price of American wheat." said Mr. Graham. "We at once attributed this slump to manipulations on the board of trade and immediately started a movement to destroy the board. "Now I have no doubt that there are very grave abuses on the board of trade and that they ought to be and must be corrected, but I doubt if we should destroy the board of trade. It always seemed to me to serve a very useful purpose and I am now con vinced that no one will welcome the correction of the abuses which have crept into it more warmly than will the board of trade itself. "When the war-torn kiatlons of Eu rope can get the credit with which' to buy they will begin to buy our wheat a once and we can then hope for a restored price, provided we can get some way to ship."

Voters Want to Know of The New Filtration Plant Commissioner SUnf ield Gives Complete Details About Water Improvements, Which Will Help Health Conditions in Topeka Considerably. PRESENT AND PROPOSED WATERWORKS PLANT Citizen No. 1:' "What d' you think of this waterworks proposition this 'er' filtration plant I heard something about?" Citizen No.,?: "Oh.-1 dunno; don't know much about it. Will it make us pay bigger taxes?" Ctiens Nos. 1 and 2 are only two of the hundreds of Topekans who have not given the subject of Improving and enlarging the city water supply a moment's consideration. On Novem ber 2, when the general election will be held, bonds for the proposed $535,090 filtration plant for Topeka Will be voted upon. Many Wont to Know. "Many people are asking me to ex plain the filtration, plant proposition," Wilbur A. Stanfield, commissioner of, city water and lights said today. "They do not seem to know enough about it to' know how to vote. Some of them, without knowing .a .thing about the' situation, decide that the old way is all right. But an explanation always changes their views in favor of the filtration system." For years past the city has bee endangering the health and safety of Its citizens by tolerating the present method of water supply. Flourishing colonies of "pollywogs" have inhabited the city water at frequent intervals for a. number of years, boosting the city's death rate; hotels, business houses and other establishments Rave burned with serious loss of life and property be cause of insufficient water supply. The scant supply of water has made it impossible to flush the mains properly and keep them sanitary. Boiling the city water to make it drinkable has become almost a regular duty with To- neers, and the consensus of opinion is that the plant is not only desirable,' but necessary for pure and sufficient water. Present Water Supply: Dr. Earle- O. Brown, city health of ficer, can testify a to the harmful ef fects of the water on public health. Mi Mlrinm Daughertv. oitv bacteriol ogist, has repulsive looking clusters of bacteria, mat one naies 10 oeueve were extracted from the city water. No altering of the old plant will prove satisfactory, it Is agreed unan imously by all who understand the situation. Experiment after experi ment with the present i system has "proved fnly temporarily successful. "How do we know the filtration 'plant will be satisfactory chorus the doubters. A fair enough question, easily an swered. Fifty-seven Kansas cities have fil tration plants In use in thetr city water systems and they are satisfactory in every case.

"I was against- the filtration plant' Idea at first," Commissioner Robert D. McQiffert said today.

J. Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health, says emphatical ly that the state board would never ac cept as satisfactory for Topeka the present plan of water supply, or any plan except filtration. A. H. Jewell of Lawrence, state en gineer, has gone over the Topeka plant carefully, as have a number of engi- andito influence other voters favor ably.) "Oh, well, the bonds will carry whether 1 vote for them or not, won't they?" a careless citizen asked Com missioner McOiffert. Whereupon the marine hero of Belleau Wood replied: "The fellow who sat outside the fight 'over there' saying that his bul let couldn't win the war and therefore he Wouldn't shoot, was called a traitor. The above hi a layout sketch' of the present waterworks wells and pumping station, together with the outline of the general plan for the filtration plant. If the new plan is adopted, the old wells will be used for a reserve water sup ply. By use of the filtration plant, Topeka will have plenty of water and it win oe per cent pure NO INCREASE IN TAXES OR IN WATER RATES will be asked to pay for the plant. A two per cent sinking fund from the water department revenue is the plan for bearing the cost of installing the now system. Why isn't" the fellow who doesn't vote on important public benefit questions a traitor?" A specific statement of the proposed improvement of the city water condi tion is contained in the proclamation issued by Mayor Herbert J. Corwine to the voters of Topeka on October 9. 1920. It reads: The Muyogs Proclamation. "Shall the mor and city commis sioners of the city of Topeka be authorized to remodel, extend and enlarge- the waterworks ot said city by installing a filtration and purification plant upon the grounds now occupied by the said waterworks and to be used in connection therewith, and to con solidate the electric light plant of said city with the said waterworks, and to borrow not to exceed the sum of five hundred thirty-five thousand dollars 0535,000. 00) and Issue bonds of said city in that amount to pay therefor?" The ballots at the November election will carr;the above proposal. Voters are asked to remember that NEITHER TAXES NOR WATER RATES WILL BE INCREASED to pay for the filtra tion plant. A sinking fund of 2 per ent revenue cost of Jthe cent of the water department will be used to pay the cost plant. A BIK Saving. The saving of time and labor by the consolidation of the light and wa ter "plants will mean a considerable saving. Commissioner Stanfield has estimated. At the time the heavy load is on the light service, the water de mands decrease and the same plant answers admirably' for both power purposes. r Instead or costing; the burdened taxpayer more money. It will lighten his load," a man who has closely stu- ied the proposition points out. Tne filtration plant should really be wel comed by -the poor man. Doctors at tribute a large part of ,'children's dis eases to impure water; therefore, pure water will save doctor bills: plumbers say chemicals injure plumbing ana that soft, filtered Water preserves plumbing: soft water saves about SO per cent of the oap and washing pow der required by hard water.". Water Taken From Wells. Tlie water now used Is taxen from several Wells and is fit for use only part of the time. It is chlorinated heavily. The chlorine clears the wa ter but does not make it pare. Water taken directly from the river will be DumDed into the filtration plant, where it will be treated as thoroly as is the well -water now, then put thru a sedimentation process and finally into the sand filters where sulphate of aluminum ia put into the .water to work with the sand in separating Im purities from the water. "Ivorv soap ia not purer than the city water should be when it comes out of such a filtration plant' is the opinion of City Engineer Baldfy. En gineer Ra Wry furnished the accom panying plan of the present and proposed- waterworks plant. The supxdy of water will be much greater with the use of the filtration plant. The wcqs now in use will be kept for reserve, used only occasional ly to keep them in sufficiently good condition. With the old wells furn ishing a large resrve supply, the city will not need to worry over water for fire protection. To l"e Kiver Water. River water would go into the fil tration plant under the proposed plan and would be-- set into the city homes in 99 per centTure condition. It will be not only rpure. but soft. Having pure wafer would mean much to the public health of the cityit taa already been shown. laving soft water would mean a saving of thousands of bars of soap in Topeka -every year; soft water would ale mean a saving of the auty of complexions; would make hair soft, fluffy and entrancing; mak clothea look better, and in short make Topeka citizens much better looking.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, bCTOBER 23, 1920 TO SELL FUEL i Kansas Cities May Handle Coal forConsumers. Emergency Action Farored by Attorney General. In order that Kansas municipali tlPMnr.y be able to cope with a pos siblex winter shortage of coal. Attorney (leneral Richard J. Hopkins favors a law which will -enable them to buy fuel and sell it direct to consumers, if conditions warrant emergency action. In some Kansas cities municipal coal and wood yards were conducted last winter as clearing; houses to bring buyers and sellers together, but unde the present law cities have no au thority to engage in business of this kind on their own accord, Mr. Hop kins said. "Conditions which prevailed last fall and winter would, in my opinion, justify granting to rities the power and authority to provide for fuel," said Hopkins. "The distress and suffer ing caused by lack of fuel was of itself sufficient excuse for enabling cities to provide a means whereby a repetition of such disaster may be avoided. "The brief special session of the 1-g'slnture last winter did not give the members sufficient time in which to properly consider a measure of this kind. I an greatly in hopes that the next session of the legislature will give the matter due consideration, and feel certain if it does so the Cities will be granted such authority," Rrferring to the extent to which state and mv.niiipil governments should interfere in fixing prices and rejju'fitinc industries considered essen t'al to the public welfare. Mf. Hop kins said: "The grent problem of government today is to place the fruits of the pro ducer's labor into the hands of the consumer without paying unnecessary tribute to nonproductive distributors fnd speculators. In the pest it has been our theory that competition must govern the marketing of our products.' but the time has come when we are forced to concede that combination is replacing competition, and this in spite of the fact that various governmental m-tivilies have been enlisted to coun teract the tendency. The fact remains that er.t'rrly too great a toll is ex-J acted tifter the product, leaves the hands of the producer, and before it reches the ultimate consumer. j "Cue possible solut on is to pass proper legislation to impress upon any monopolistic business, a public Inter-; est to the end th;it when it has. been de'ormined that any individual or or- I gnnzat'on has used its property in the production and marketing of a neces s ;y or in rendering a service so as to constitute a monopoly, then authority atid power to roitulate such necessities nnd service shall bo af'timed by the rf" Vir some subdivision."

Br WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE. Kansas is In- grave danger of be coming smug and parisaical. We are getting stuck on ourselves. And the first thing that happens to a "man, a community, or a state that is taint ed with conceit, is the danger of decay. Kansas is facing that danger. In the last decade we did not gain one-third so many people as we had babies. For as fast as the kids grew up they took one look around at this state and pull ed out. We have done a lot of new things for Kansas and done them well, but we have neglected to do a lot, -of old things as other states have done; so the man with a dollar or the man with an ambition to make a dollar, finds he can get busy more profitably in the score of other states, than he can in Kansas. One of the log chains of the 60's which is hanging around Kansas's neck. Is our fool tax law which re quires all property assessed exactly alike- Practically every northern state, at least twenty of them, dis covered the idiocy of this way of taxa tion years ago and has changed it. But Kansas hangs on to the theory that a dollar's worth of property should pay a dollar's worth of tax no matter what kind of property it is. A home is taxed exactly as a busi ness house. An acre of land bearing millions of dollars worth of oil Is taxed just as much as an acre of land wheih grazes a Kansas steer. A public serv ice corporation making money hand over fist is taxed at the same rate as a public service corporation that Is in the hands of a receiver. Land held for speculation is taxed Just the same as land which is cropped and tended and improved year by year. Million's of dollars' worth of mortgages go out of Kansas every year because they are taxed as high as the land on which the mortgage is raised. The state law is full of iniquities of taxation which other states have rectified. There is now pending before the people of Kansas a constitutional amendment called tne tax Amend ment. It was adopted by practically all the Democrats and all the Repub licans In the legislature voting for it. It would permit property to be segre gated for the purpose of taxation; so that the man who owns a home would not have to pay so h!sh a rate on, his five thousand dollar investment as the man who owns a corner lot n the heart of the town which is making big interest for him. In other states, as soon as this fool log chain of the 50's was broken, the states im mediately increased their number of personal tax payers b leaps and bounds. Some of these states multi plied the number by twenty in five years, and of course by dividing the sum to be raised by a larger and larger number of tax payers, the burden on each tax payer is smaller and smaller. It works that way automatically. In Kansas we ara letting millions of dollars of oil property go untaxed. We are lot taxing equitably millions of dolla's of franchises an.l gross re ceipts of various public utilities.. We can't do it under the Kansas, law; Other states found themselves tied to this old fogy notion and hnv broken away and are going ahead of Kansas. Their re il estate is worth more and their business is greater. Their popu lation increases. We cling to our old idols and stagnate in population; see our young men leave the state with their ambitions and .ability because they can lo better in other states. And then we stick up our noses and pat ourselves, on the back and tharjk God we re not as otner men. We have indeed made prohibition work; made the blue sky law a na tional institution; the, bank guarantee spread over the civilized world. We started the individual drinking cup and individual hotel towel, and we pioneered municipal suffrage. We have thought of a, lot of smart things and have done them first, but the gangrene of. vanity .is giving us the dry rot of decay, and we are not gain ing population, and we are losing standing among the sisterhood of states. The Kansas legislature saw this and almost unanimously recom mended for passing the three constitu tional amendments now pending in or der to purge Kansas of the bug of self esteem, and put the state abreast of the other civilized states of the Union. Kansans must remember Eugene Ware's verse when they go into the election booth 'Up was he stuck "And in the upness of his stucktitude "He fell." Kansas must change her ways or suffer.

The National Magazine, published in Boston, is, it says on its title page, "Mostly about people." Which means that it will have to tell about Kansans. In the current issue two Kansas men, and by the same token two Topeka men, and to cut the issue still finer, two former Topeka newspaper men. have been chosen as personalities which the readers of the magazine will feel it is worth while to hear about Two Topeka Newspaper Men. The two Kansans, Topekans, former Topeka newspaper men, are Jay E. House and Albert T. Reid. Topekans know what Topeka has thought of these men, and it will interest Tope kans to know what Boston thinks of them. x Most everybody knows that Jay House's "Second Thoughts" are now being printed in the Philadelphia Pub lic Ledger. That a Kansas newspaper man 'thought and philosophies could interest the people of Philadelphia, woul hawe seemed improbable at one stage of iKansas' development. But the Nationale says: "There is not a newspaper column printed In the United States, day after day, with more real homesoun and sootning philosophy than that written by Jay E.

The American Red Cross man made violent love to the "pretty Parisian girl. He promised to marry her. A few weeks ago he sent for her and she came to New York on a French liner. All she needed was this man's affidavit and she would be free to land! But the Red Cross man showed the caliber of his courage by notifying the immigration authorities that he did not intend to marry the girl be cause of rumors he had heard. That, of course, meant deportation. The mademoiselle in a stunned state of fear sent a wire to a Kansas friend, who came east as fast as extra-fare trains would carry him. He has in terviewed the commissioner of immi gration and has enlisted the support of many prominent persons in the un fortunate girl's behalf. A hospital in Brooklyn has offered her a position, so that she will not become a public charge if permitted to land. Steve O'Grady of the New York Tribune, whose fame is known in newspaper dom from coast to coast, is exerting every effort possible. It looks as if the Kansan and his friends will win out. perhaps at the expense of the Red Cross man, who may be subpoenaed to appear at a hearing and thus step from the shadows into the limelight of the most unew;niable publicity known.

"Jay E. House gives to his readers tho cream of a rich life experience, for he has had a notable public career. He hails from Kansas, and was horn in the small town of Erie, which figures In his work as Grigby's Station. After years of newspaper work in Topeka. his frietids insisted upon him being a candidate for mayor. He was a real mayor in fact and deed. It was apparent after the enthusiasm of in auguration aay, tnat ne was going 10 be a real mayor. No amount of pres sure, cajolery. or inuraraauoui swerved him from carrying out nis own determinations. They insisted upon re-electing him. More than 95 per cent of the business men of the city signed a petition urging him to run for a third term, and they pre sented it en masse. Jay E.

"The great heart of Jay E. House has alwavs been in his newspaper work. Telegrams from Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Philadelphia, kept coming to him. After a succession of telegrams Jay E.

They Never Tire. "The'-flenizens of the east never tire of the quaint philosophy that comfs of the experience oMhe man who ran the gamut of life by beginning in the small town and living among pushing, swirling throngs; he just sees human nature in all its phases. Whether the environment be a country town or the swirling maelstrom of a seaside resort, or a pushes subway throng, it is all the same to Jay E.

Reid Is best revealed in his clear conception of the shadow of events and the further shadowing events to come. Where he has secured all the ideas represented in his book of cartoons, which- is a book pretentious in size to a diction ary, is a mystery to his closest friends and associates. Everyone who meets him or drops in his office seems to contribute to "his work indirectly.

Western Kansas will go into the winter with a well-soaked seed bed for the winter, according to a report from the co-operative observer at Lamed, in Pawnee county, who reports that for the thirty-six hours, ending Friday morning Lamed had received a total of 3.50 inches of rain. The rain start ed at Lamed about 11 o'clock Wednes day night. 4 According to the observer it "fell steadily, with occasional downpours, but not a beating rain, and the fields ari thoroly soaked. It came at a time when the newly sown wheat crop j needed it badly. The early sown wheat was up and was standing still for lack of moistare. That which had barely sprouted was in a precarious condition.- and the last sown was ly-1 ing in the dry dirt. We had been without rain here, with the exception of a couple of showers, since the first week in September. Now that the rain has come the crop will go Into the winter In good shape, particularly with a couple of weeks of mild weath er for the wheat to take root. Farm ers are' jubilant here." O'NEIL WILL LEAD? Democratic State Chairman Says He Will Head State Ticket. Ralph O'Neil, Democrat nominee for attorney general, will lead the ticket in this state, according to For rest Luther, state chairman. He to day asserted that Jonathan M. Davis would win the governorship over Al len, but that O'Neil would be the vic tor and receive the greatest vote in the attorney general fight. One statement by Luther was to effect that Governor Allen would lose Sedgwick county, his home, by 5,000. Luther believes O'Nell's following among the soldiers and lawyers and persons who have encountered Hop kins' legal gymnastics during the last 18 months, will give the Democrat4 nominee for attorney general a big lead. "Hopkins makes extravagant claims of the things' he had done since he has been in office," said Luther. "The members of his own party challenged him to point to one thing of import ance that he had accomplished. Since he was unablevto meet this challenge I think it is perfectly safe for anyone to repeat it." Luther said Hopkins' failure to show expected ability as a lawyer or I to present his cases effectively had j brought disgust from state officials I and employes. In consequence, he said, Hopkins will lose virtually the soiin state nouse vote.

6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 23..1U20 m THEATORIALLY Thln That Would .Svrr B Kald Rr.ardinic Movies, .t cetera, in Any Other W y. BX Kl. Just now, Topeka movie fans are star crazy. No matter how bis a pro duction or how really excellent the creen play may be, they view it with suspicion unless the actor or actress carrying the leading role is well known to them. As a matter of fact, the productions which play up the star generally have that as their only recommendation to the public. The increased cost of pro ducing movie films has made it neces sary that some limit be set on the ex pense account allowed the directors. Where well advertised and hence well known stars are employed in the chief roles one can he almost certain that the minor ,roles will be filled with actors of only common ability who can be hned cheap. A fine illustration of this was seen in Topeka recently, when Nazimova was shown in "'The Heart of a Child." Nazimova is probably the best actress of the American screen or stage. She carried, the play over because the pub liu knows her ability, but as a matter of fact the production was a poor one because all the minor roles, even to that of the leading man, were handled by people who had very little of the artistic ability of the star. It may be that the public likes to see stars and cares. very little for finished productions, but that is a hard thing to say. In a measure the producers have been to blame and the exhibitors have to take a share of the blame, for they hare followed the lead net by the producers in their adver tising and advance publicity for their attractions. Either they have played up the star or tley have called every attraction "the greatest ever." until the public has had only the recognized ability of the actor or actress, as a measure of the worth of the produc tion. Actor do not make a production the settings do not make it. neither does the story, excellent tho it may be, assure, a complete attraction. It Is a combination of all these things. The sooner the persons responsible for the advertising of movie productions, real ize this fact, the sooner they will find greater profit and the puhlie having been given the facts Instend of fiction, will be able to pick out the pictures worth while in advance.

It comes under the "musical comedy" head of tonics, concocted by Chas. George, who has many Broadway successes and given the final mixing by Harvey Orr. which makes it so excellent and effective. This is the1 third new edition of the "Doll" series and this year's tonic Is even bigger, better, brighter than ever and has the daintiest, danciest chorus to give It a stimulating ouality so nec essary, and takins tlie show all in all It Is n perfect h'end calculated to send you forth feeling fit and ready to tackle anything and everything. One of rhe few plays that really lives up to its classification is "Listen LesteiV" John Cort's widely heralded r- miTt! r-xtravcance, which delighted smart New York for one year at the Knickerbocker theater, and which will come to the Grand Wednesday, mati nee and night. It contains real com edy and clocidodly charming music, not to mention the book and lyrics by Hare L. Cort and Genres K.

At the Novelty. There are many acts worthy of spe cial mention on the bill at the Novelty the first half of the week, but the big feature is a European noveKy, 'The Eight Lunatic Chinks" in an offering of unusual worth under the caption of "Fun in a Chinese Laundry." This is some sensational acrobatic number un covering may stunts of a hair-raisins nature, in conjunction with this de cided feature. There are four other acts of high. cla?s vaudeville, namely: "Grant and "The Galli-Curci of Contraltos I y t .5: .0. I llffltl v. lilllSi! 1 ':lipiilllllilillsll I Jlfife JiplBBIllip v

The bill will open with the second episode of "Bride 13." most peculiar and truly original "Photo Serial," one j.ha has already aroused lots of com ment, altho only one episode has been shown. At tlie Isis. William Farnum. the popular Wil linm Fox star, is coming to the Isis theater all next week in one of the most stirring roles of his career. It id that of Francois Villon, the famous vagabond in Justin Huntly McCarthy's book and play ir l were King role made famous on the stage by K. ri sotnern. Mr. Farnum has given to the screen many of the most important pictures rhov.n in the last few years. His dual role In "A Tale of Two Cities," Charles Dickens's famous story, is still being shown thruout the United states and Great Britain and on the continent. It is indeed a classic in motion picture art. Another among Farnum's innu merable bir pictures is "Les Miser-nblps-." which, like "A Tale of Two Cities." will b shown and reshown for yerrs. "Riders of the Purple Snc" mdihis "Rainbow Trail" drew packed houses wherever shown. At tlie Orphcum. Two of the best known stars of the screen firmament are to shine at the Orphcum this coming week. They are Wl'.i.-m S. Hart and Dorolhy Dalton, tho former in "The Cradle of Cour air" hnd the latter in "Half an Hour." Both plays are specially adapted to the abilities of the stars and are promised as being real productions. The fighting front of France was the "cradle of courage" in which many a brave American soldier discovered his own moral value. At least "Square" Kdly. a San Francisco safe-cracker, did. He reformed and joined the po lice force to wage a relentless fight .icrj'nst crime. How successful he was in this ps w.cll as in the game of love. Is a?ni'rib!y depicted in William S. Hart's latest j5hotop1ay, "The Cradle of 'otieajc." Mr. Hart is finely sup ported by Ann Little and other capable playorr. Dorothy Dalon's latest picture, "Half an Hour," a Paramount produc tion based on Sir James M. Barrie's celebrated play, is a story of English life and manners in which an Ameri can, played by Charles Richman, isthe AT THE ISIS f. I Wm.

Miss Dalton as Lady Lilian was "sold" by her father to Richard Garson, an art connoisseur. Her husband's jeers and coarsenr-ss ultimately cause her to at tempt to run away with Hugh Paton. Hugh is killed when she is in his aporjment, and with utmost effort in a half hour's time she rushes home and dresses for dinner before her husband discovers her absence. Later, she dis covers that her husband is possible after all. For the first three days of the week. jtwHh the Hart picture, a reel of the Pathe news and one of the Mutt and i'Jeff cartoons will be shown. As an added attraction the last three days, with Dorothy Dalton, there will be presented a two reel Sennett comedy, "It's a Boy." ALIENISTS IX BATTLE. Chicago, Oct. 23.

Admittedly from the critical point of view one of the few genuine con traltos, Sophie Braslau, will occupy the stage of Topeka auditorium as the first number in the series of concerts presented this season by H. J. Dot terweich on October 30. Miss Braslau is now recognized as one of the real bis; personages of the Metropolitan Opera forces and as a concert giver of superlative abilities. Her voice is a glorious, rich, "golden velvet" as one critic describes it and her musical gifts are a match for it. Having radiant youth, a real mag netic personality and. most i nf porta nt of all, a sincere approach to her art, she 'has rightfully come to the promi nent place she occupies in the, public esteem. Amocg the country's "con traltos, only one, Mme. Homer, may be mentioned before her, and this chief ly because of her more extended ca reer. Miss Braslau is still under thirty.
