INSULT SYRIAN WOMEN.
Charge Brought Against Syrian Men
in Police Court.

There IS trouble among the Syrians
today in Topeka. The troubles have
been developing for some time and a eli
max was reached this morning when
young Syrian and three of his women
friends went before Police Judge Atch-
ison and asked that Charles Moksda
and Macot Hina, two other Syrians, be
arrested for disturbance of the peace.
The judge filed out a complaint and it
was signed by Ana Wakin,, one of the
Syrian women.
Within a very few minutes the war
rant was served on the two men named
and the whole Syrian colony was at po-
lice headquarters talking enough to dis
tract the even tenor of Tim Donovan's
disposition.
This morning as the three women
were crossing the Kansas avenue bridge
they claim that they were accosted by
the two Syrian men now under arrest
and insulted. The young Syrian with
them said:
They cross de bridge. Des men in
sulta dem. Dey call dem bada mama :"
At this remark NIoksda took his turn
at the conversation. Waving MS arms

Charles Moksda furnished SIS secur-
ity and was released while his friend,
Macot Hina, was locked in the jail. This
afternoon in police court the case will
come to trial.
Several weeks ago the children of
Ana Wakin were discharged from the
Orphans Home and given in her
charge. She had claimed that they
were her brothers children and on this
condition they were taken into the
home. It was found that a fraud was
being practiced on the home, and the
matter was Strengthened out. 1t is said
that Moksda was instrumental in fur
nishing the home officials with the in
formation which led to the discovery
of fraud

Would Stand on the Bridge

Yesterday when the river was 50 high
and everyone was trying to get a bet
ter view of it, several went on the old
Kansas avenue bridge and stood. Bridge
Patrolman Whitaker and Detective
Capron did their best to keep the bridge
clear, as it was supposed to be in dan
ger of being washed away. There was
one man on the bridge who would not
get off, and his name was George Ham
mel, coIored. Capron tried to get him
to move, but he resisted. Now his
name Is on the police register and he
will have to answer to the charge OF
resisting an officer in the performance
of his duty. The officer had to use
force in taking him from the bridge
and he was taken to the police station
with some difficulty

GRAIN RATE SOUTH.
Final Hearing of Kansas Case in st.
Louis Today.

The final hearing of the Kansas grain
rate case is being had in st. Louis to-
day the railroads appearing to give al
ditiOnal testimony, before the interstate
commerce commission. When the state
COMPLETED its case at Austin, Texas,
last week the companies asked an OPP
portunity to present additional evidence
and for that purpose the hearing was
adjourned to St. Louis and resumed to
day. The hearing is attended by RalI-
Judge David Martin representing the
state.
Chairman billiard of the Kansas COM
mission will ask the interstate com
merce commission for an early decision
of the case, so that if any reductions
in existing rates are made Kansas
farmers will be able to take advantage
of them in the shipment of the next
crop. The most important feature OF
the case is the grain rate, wheat ra1SerS
particularly insisting upon reduction
to the gulf.
Mr. billiard has been doing some fig
uring on the proposition and expresses
the opinion that a reasonable rate for
carrying grain would be six mills per
ton per mile. Taking this as a basis,
Commissioner billiard thinks the rail-
roads could secure a, reasonable profit
on shipments to the south which would
to recompense the companies for the
large decrease in rates.
Commissioner Campbell said in speak
ing of this subject:
Z am we'll pleased with the outlook.
It seems to me that there is every pros
pect for relief to the people in this mat
ter. The hearing has undoubtedly con-
WINGED the interstate commerce COM
mission of the fact that high and dis
criminatory rates are now in existence
and if the members thereof discharge
their obligation to the people, reduc-
lions will be ordered. :"

sault and battery. In police court this
morning Henderson said: when Car
RE Price went to Kansas City Saturday
she told me to take care of her stuff.
When I went to the house last night I
found Campbell lying there in bed and
told him to get out. He wouldn't do
it and we got mixed up. 1 didn't want
to jump on to him because he was an
older man. III plead guilty though"
The case was continued to 4 o'clock

ORPHANS HOME wArERwoRKs
Trouble About Right of Way for Pipe
Line


During a recent visit at Atchison the
state board of charities took decisive
steps towards relieving the difficulty at
the soldiers orphans home, occasioned
by a scarcity of water. The board ar
ranged for the equipment of the water
works plant and completed what were
regarded as final arrangements for the
right of way for the pipe line.
Something has occurred, (the board
has not been fully advised as to its ma
ture) which has destroyed the projected
plans, and property owners who had
previously consented to the arrange
ments for the right of way, have gone
back on the board.
Frank M. Shane, a member of the
board went to Atchison today from his
home at Osawkie and will begin con-
domination proceedings against the
property through which the board had
arranged for the right of way.
