Harry Steinberg, leader of Steinberg'

the well known clothing merchant, was
married Tuesday afternoon in Kansas
City by Judge Teasda1e. Mrs Steinberg
was formerly Miss Sarah Schneider of
124 Madison street.
When the news of the marriage first
reached Topeka it was believed that it
was an elopement, but an interview
with Mrs. Schneider, the brides mother,
proved that it was not. MY daughter
was in Illinois visiting relatives said
Mrs. Schneider, land was returning. We
met her at Kansas City to come to To-

ATTORNEYS MAY
Reach AGREEMENT
Opinion Regarding Water
Department Purchase Will
be Ready Today

IL rs probable that City Solicitor
David J. Reinhardt and Attorneys H.
III. Ward and Robert G.. Harman will
reach an. agreement this afternoon re-
garding the legality Of the purchase Of
the Weldin property by the Water De-
partment and will present it to COun-
ell at it's next meeting.
The attorneys iave held several con-
ferences. the last of which took place
this morning at which the subject has
been thoroughly discussed. The con.
tested point in the purchase is not the
fact, as has been stated, regarding the
legality Of THE transaction in pur-
chasing property outside the city linn
its, but as to whether. under section
fourteen, chapter four. Of the city char
ter, being an act regulating the Water
Department the directors have power
to purchase any property with money
in excess Of the amount necessary for
operating the department. Section
fourteen clearly sets forth that "the
water rates shall be fixed by the said
Board OF Water Commissioners at
prices THAT shall produce sufficient
revenue at least 10 pay the interest of
the water bonds and the running ex-
penses and the whole net in
come. rents and receipts Of said Water
/ Department In excess of what may be
necessary for completing, constructing,
Operating and repairing water works
d? shall be paid by the board at
the end Of each fiscal year to the City
Council"
The attorneys disagree in their opin-
/ ions as 10 the necessity Of the pur-
chase made bv the department and
therein lies the hitch. There seems,
however. to be but rittle doubt that no
matter in which way the question is de-
cided. the legality it VIII be tested
in the courts.
Another claim has been made to the
effect that since the Water Department
has turned over 10 City Council the
excess money that that body has taken
up no water bonds as provided for in
the section In order to set this matter
straight. City Auditor Boughman sub
mitted TO Mr. Reinhardt this morning

/ Council since 1899. which reaches near
