A Low RESORT RAIDED.
Police Arrest Occupants of = DisorderIy
House in North Topeka.

House in North Topeka.
There was a row at Mrs. Links place
near the Rock Island junction yesterday
afternoon in North Topeka. The par
ticipants did not keep it within the walls
of the house, for the neighbors had to
call the police to settle the noise. Mrs.
Link keeps the house and Gladys Palmer
and Matttie Underwood stay there. When
the police arrived at the house the dis
turbance had ceased, and the men who
were concerned in it had left.
However, in the evening the police
raided the place and arrested Mrs. Link,
Gladys Palmer, Matte Underwood, Lee
Curtis and w. L. Webb. This morning
Mrs. Link pleaded guilty to keepin
disorderly house and Judge Ensmin ger
fined her So. Gladys Palmer was fined
So When Matte Underwood was called
she slouched into the court room.
"Take the stand there" said the Judge
pointing to the prisoners bench. She
stepped up on the bench and stood there
all innocent of her mistake There was
some laughter and she was told to sit
down on the bench. She was fined 30.
Lee Curtis case came next next He
has been arrested many times. He is z
son of Captain Curtis, but his father says
he has spent all the money he is going
to on the young man. Lee Curtis was
fined so for disturbance of the peace
it was proven that he was one of the dis
turbers of Sunday afternoon.
The charge against w. l.. Webb was
tsfound in a house of ill-fame." He was
fined $25. City Attorney TilIotson saic
that the charge against Curtis shoulc
have been that sof being found in such
house, and he censured the police for no
making such a charge. Curtis deserved
a larger fine than Webb, for he raised
disturbance in addition to being in the
place.

JUDGE FOSTERS CASE.
Senator Martin Discusses His Bill for Re-
tirIng the Judge

WASHINGTON April 9.-Senator Mar
tin of Kansas, has two bills before the
senate committee on judiciary which he
is very anxious to have considered. They
provide for the retirement on full pay of
United States judges. one of them after
twenty years of continuous service and
the other on account of physical or
mental disability rendering a Judge in
capable of service.
Discussing the importance of the bills,
Senator Martin said today: ''The present
law does not provide for the retire
ment of a federal judge until he
is 10 years of age and has
served for twenty years continuously
There is no means provided for retire
ment under other conditions and the
situation often becomes embarrassing.
No matter what judges condition is
physically or mentally, maybe there is
no means provided for getting rid of him
in that capacity, except by impeachm ent
for crime or voluntary retirement -
''Nery few men advanced in years as
federal judges usually are willing to
voluntarily relinquish lucrative position
as long as they can hold on and dis
ability is no crime upon which to base
impeachment proceedings; hence the
necessity for a change of the law in the
line of nv bills. The need for such
amendment was shown in the cases
of Judge Hunt of New York and Judge
Dady Of Oregon, and is again illustrated
in the case of Judge Foster of Kansas.
who has been physically disabled by i'll
health for service for more than three
years.
"A judge who has served in that
capacity for twenty years continuously,
or who has broken in the work. ought to
be retired whether seventy years of age,
or not and it will often be in the inter
est of the public welfare to induce them
to do so. Not many of them will retire
voluntarily, and the only remedy for the
situation is to provide an inducement for
them to do So"

NEARLY TWO INCHES

Visited However.


A storm accompanied by rain, hail,
wind, thunder and lightning, lowered
over Topeka from Saturday evening un-
til this morning. During that time 1
and S4-100 inches of rain fell, the heav-
lest known since early last fall. Last
evening the rain fell in torrents and
there were two hail storms shortly after
six o'clock last evening, twelve minutes
apart.
Weather Officer Jennings says the
storm was confined to the northeastern
part of Kansas and most of Missouri.
He thinks it is of inestimable
benefit to the wheat, oats and
flax already planted, and has
put the ground into such condition
that anything planted now will sprout at
once. Mr.. Jennings says the wind will
shift to the south by tomorrow and the
weather will moderate. Last night the
wind was from the northwest at the rate
of % miles an hour and the thermometer
dropped to 81 degrees just before sun
rise. Mr. Jennings thinks too, that after
this week it will be an unusually warm

At the Santa Fe general offices the

number of the railroad official to which
circulars were sent by General Stone, in
charge of the road inquiry bureau ask
ing if the companies would combine for
a uniform cost basis rate for road
materials Almost all assert their willing
ness to join with connecting roads to

Some of the officials have replied that
while willing to carry the material at
the bare cost of hauling, their roads are
prohibited from making such rates to
either persons or states and suggesting
that the department will have to take
the matter to the state legislature or to
the interstate commerce commission be-
fore the roads would be at liberty to act.
