WATER WORKS TAXES.
Question Concerning Their Collection
Submitted to Judge Hook.

Judge Hook OF the United States
court last night heard the arguments in
the suit Of the City of Topeka and the
Board Of Education against the Topeka
Water company for back taxes amount
ing to $4,000. and at the conclusion
took the case under Amusement His
decision viii probably not be announc-
ed for some time.
The city and board Of education were
represented by City Attorney Bird and
Messrs. r B. WEIGH and D. R. Hite,
while Mr. Chas Blood Smith appeared
IN the interest of the water company.
The majority Of the time Of the special
session was taken up by Mr.. WEIGH in
his argument
The special effort of the plaintiffs at
torneys in their arguments was to show
that the majority of authorities did not
sustain the Iowa decision IN the Oska--
loosa case. under which the attorneys
for the Topeka Water company several
years ago induced the board Of equah-
zation to transfer the pipes, mains and
hydrants from the city tax list to the
township tax list In defensive argu-
meut Mr. Smith said the present com
pauy knew nothing of the transfer
when the property was acquired, the
tax books of the city and township
showing that all taxes had been
promptly paid.
The decision in the OskaIoosa case
waz to the effect that pipes, mains and
/ hydrants were simply appurtenances Of
a pumping station and should be gov
erned in taxation by the location Of the
I pumping station When this decision
was rendered the water company had
/ but recently completed the new pump
+ ing station west Of the city. and the
I attorneys Immediately took the matter
up with the board OF equalization and
+ on the strength of It had the transfer
I from the city to the township tax list
/ made The difference amounted TO s13, -
900, and this is the amount now being
I sued for
If the contest is successful, about ST.
. 600 Of this amount viii go to the city
and the remainder to the board of edu-
cation.

rnorefs plan TO continue his adTniniStFa-
deputy, GaIen Nichols, has not been as
greediIy snapped up as was hoped The
people did not like the scheme after
thay found out what it was. Politicians
now say that the fight is clearly be
tween Tom Doran and Charles F. Spen-
GER It is reported that Mr.. Spencer has
been gaining in the country recently
and Mr.. Doran has been gaining in the
city. The fact that Mr. Spencer held
Office as Democrat in Shawnee county
and was for many years a prominent
Democrat has weakened him sOmew hat
among radical Republicans. His active
participation in the work of the com
mite Of two hundred has also weaken
ed him with the sO-called liberal ele-
ment" Mr.. Doran's excellent record as
a criminal lawyer makes him a strong
candidate
The fight for the nomination for rep
resentatfve is especially bitter in what
is known as the city district IN which
E D NcKeever and A K Wilson are
the candidates Mr.. Stafford has left his
district to help Mr.. McKeever out and
meetings are being held nightly for the
