TONIGHT'S MEETING.
Commercial Club to Consider
Santa Fc Shop Matter
This Evening.

The most important subject which
has come before the Topeka CONNER
cial club since the organization of that
excellent body of business men, is the
special order for the meeting tonight.
The addition to the Santa Fe shops
for which the company has already APP
propriated over 500, 900 and which Will
be increased in another year if we Sc
cure the present addition. will be dis
cussed this evening.
Several committees which have been
at work, will report.
Upon the action taken tonight may
depend the welfare and progress of To-
peka. 1t is of the greatest Importance
that every member of the club attend
and be prepared to talk business.
The fall festival movements, the great
reception to the Twentieth Kansas, the
street fair. and even the movement to
relieve the famine stricken HindoOs-
good as they all were-are really insig-
nifcant in their bearing on the future
growth and prosperity of Topeka, COM
pared to the securing of these initial
Santa Fe shops which precede the cree
ton of the great locomotive shops to
follow.

CAN FIX WATER RATES.
Question Of Importance to To-
peka Decided by Federal
Court.

Mayor Drew and the members of the
city council who are conversant with
the waterworks situation are rejoicing
over a decision which has just been rem
dered by federal Judge Shiras in the
United States court at Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. The suit was almost parallel to
one now pending in the federal court
here against the city of Topeka to pre-
vent the city from enforcing the new
water rate ordinance.
In the Iowa case the city council of
Cedar Rapids passed an ordinance low
ering the water rates, and David P.
kimball, a millionaire stOckholder of
the Cedar Rapids Water company,
living in Boston, brought an injunction
suit against the city to keep the city
officers from publishing the new rate
ordinance
On all points involved Judge Shiras
held for the city and against Kimball,
ruling that the city not only had the
right to fix the rates, but also had the
right to grant another franchise or
build plant OF its own, as it pleased.
There is now pending before Judge
Hook in the federal court here an in
junction suit brought against the city
by the Topeka Water company to keep
the city from putting new rates into
effect, and the decision of Judge Shiras
seems also to virtually decide the To-
peka case.
This decision will be a great advan-
tage to us in our trouble with the
waterworlxs." said Mayor Drew today,
because we can now fix our water
rates, and if the water company Will
not sell out. it cannot hinder US from
going ahead and building a. plant of
our own, if that is what we conclude to
| do
The dispatch announcing the decision
| is as follows
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, April 10-In the
federal court here Judge Shiras heard
/ the injunction suit of David P. Kimball,
! of Boston, a millionaire stockholder in
! the Cedar Rapids Water company,
| against the city to restrain the puDli-
cation of an ordinance fixing new rates,
the company's franchise having expirS q.
On all points involved the court held
against Kimball, ruling that the city
had the right to fix the rates and also
chise or build a plant"

WILL VISIT THE SHRINE.
Father Hayden's Congregation to Send
Him to France.

The congregation of the Church of the
Assumption will tender Very Rev.
Francis NJ. Hayden a trip to the famous
shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes, at
Lourdes, France. in the hope that his
eyesight may be benefited by the re-
puted miraculous surroundings. The
trip will be in the nature of a testimo-
NAL on the occasion of the celebration
Of his silver jubilee as a Catholic priest.
On May II next Father Hayden will
have been for % years a minister of the
Roman Catholic church. The jubilee
celebration in this city will be one of
the most important events in Catholic
church circles in the state.
An executive committee, of which Mr.
NJ. Heery is chairman, is arranging for
the testimonial Father Hayden will
probably decide to make the trip to the
shrine this year.
For several years Father Hayden's
sight has been seriously impaired, and
the best specialists in the country have
failed in their efforts to afford him
relief.

The fact that the senate committee
on privileges and elections has decided
that the seat occupied by Mr.. Clark
Of Montana should be declared vacant
makes it reasonable to suppose that
their conclusion has been warranted by
the evidence brought out at the inves-
LEGATION. The testimony showed a dis
graceful state of things to have pre-
vailed in connection with Montana poll
tics, and it seems improbable than any
body could have been connected with
1t and remained wholly undef1led. 1t
may seem hard that Mr. Clark alone
should be made to suffer for a sin par
ticipated in by so many of both his
friends and his opponents. but he is
the only man who is in a position to be
reached by the condemnation to which
the whole crowd Of Montana politicians
is entitled, He can afford to suffer
martyrdom in the interest of the states
publication and as a horrible example
to his brother senators, some of whom,
probably, are little better than he.

Admiral Dewey can hardly hope to
carry on a campaign for an Office of
such Importance single handed, and no
body seemed inclined to lend helping
hand. Whatever friends he may have
had, or thought he had, when he an
nounced his candidacy appear to have
forsaken him. Even the members of
his own family discIaimed sympathy
with his ambition. The whole proceed
ing is pitiable rather than ridiculous.
1t is better perhaps that he should
learn the truth early in the game
than be subjected to a more bitter dis
appointment later. The farce will re-
mind Kansans Of the Struggled boom
Of the old days, though it has not been
carried so far.

SUIT TO GET TAXES.
Fight Against Water Company to Be
Argued Tonight.

Judge Hook will hold a special session
of the circuit court tonight for the pur-
pose of hearing arguments in the case
of the city ard the board of education
against the water company for back
taxes to the amount of $4,000.
Several years ago the water company
by its attorneys appeared before the
board or equalization and had the valu-
alton of the plant reduced from S153, 900
to SIPS, 600. After that was done the
company succeeded in inducing the
county commissioners to place the prop
erty Of the company in Topeka township
so that county taxes instead of city
taxes would be paid. Some time after
the legislature passed a law that coun-
ty clerks could collect taxes on all prop
erty that had escaped taxation. The
water company brought suit to enjoin
the county clerk from collecting the
taxes on the ground that a new COM
pany owns the plant and that the COM
pany knew nothing of the lien when the
plant was bought. If the taxes are col
lected about $1,000 win go to the city
and about $4,000 to the board of educa-
ton The water company is represented
by Rossington. Smith & Histed and the
city and board of education by r. b.
Welch.

ANOTHER DREYFUS CASE.
Frenchman Caught Selling Informa-
ton to Germany.

Paris, April u.-Regarding the case
of Leon Gaget, who was arrested on
Sunday charged with having relations
with Germany it now appears that
Gaget was a clerk in a big banking
establishment and that the specific
charge on which he was arrested was
offering to communicate to the German
war office number of important mill
tary documents. He was discovered
through the return of one of his letters
on account of insufficient postage. Its
contents were thus ascertained and the
letter was forwarded to the ministry of
the interior where a trap was laid, into
which Gaget fell. A search of his apart
ments revealed a statement of the
amounts of money which he had received
from Germany, totalling $50 marks. The
prisoner claims he intended simply to
make money out of the German govern
ment by communicating bogus docu-
ments
