COLD WAVE COMING
So Weather Bureau Says-But May
be it Won't


A cold wave is coming toward Topeka,
and unless the weather bureau should
miss it badly, as it frequently does, there
will be a big storm tonight, accompanied
by snow. Warnings have been sent out
from Washington and Chicago that a gen
uine "norther'' will probably come. The
wind today has been blowing from the
south at a velocity of IS to "a miles an
hour. By evening the wind, it is said,
will change and the cold wave will swOop
down or eastern Kansas. Weather OBJ
server T B. Jennings said today: Some
time this evening or tonight the cold wave
will strike up. The indications are that
it will be a 'norther.' This is another
name for a blizzard. Snow will probably
fall Our barometer is very low, having
fallen half an inch since yesterday. The
high wind today was caused by the sud
den change in the atmosphere"
The minimum temperature for the night
was 26 degrees. This afternoon at
o'clock the temperature on Kansas ave
nue. was As degrees. The cold wave sig
nails have been hoisted, and if the
''norther'' don't come tonight the weather
bureau officials will be greatly surprised; !;
still, the weather bureau was totally un-
able to announce either of the big snow
storms of the past ten days until they
had actually arrived and didn't need to be
''announced.'

long and 60 feet at the base and will

TO RAISE NO SALARIES.
Police Commissioners Show
Signs of Listening to To-
peka Citizens.

The police commissioners show some
signs of acceding to the popular Will
Police Commissioner Wilson Keith
said today that the police board will
raise no saries and Will reduce the
force in accordance with Judge HaZen's
ruling.
Police Commissioner Keith looks at
the matter from sensible standpoint.
I do not know said he, that there is
any course left for US, but to reduce
the force in accordance with Judge Ha-
zen's ruling and 1 think that will be
done 1t viii however cripple the force
because we will be compelled to dis
charge five patrolmen. We have to
have a patrol driver and jailers and
they will have to be assigned from the
regular force.
1T is useless to talk about disposing
of the sergeants. Under the order OF
the court they cannot draw serSeantS
pay and will have to become patrOlmen
so far as the salaries are concerned, but
We cannot do without sergeantS and
they will be assigned to that duty. The
only method of discipline we have over
our night forces is through the ser
geants. A patrOlTnan never knows
when he is out on his beat when a ser
geant will appear and he cannot be de-
relict in his duty. We cannot dispose
of the sergeants for that reason and so
they will have to be retained though
their salaries must be $50 like the ordi-
nary patrolmen.
i do not care to discuss the contro-
versy between President Billiard and
Mayor Fellows. 1 have taken no part
in it and do not care to but 1 cannot
help thinking that President Billiard has
been misunderstood. During my assO-
citation with him I have found him to
be honest and fair and do not believe
he would do anything that is not in the
interest Of the taxpayers for he is a
heavy taxpayer himself. I do not be-
Iieve that he meant that salaries would
be advanced but simply said that could
be done
'.Will any salaries be raised?'
mo, sir; I do not believe there is a
disposition on the part of any members
of the board to do anything of the
