As result of the boilermakers' strike
and inability of Seattle contractors to
fulfill their contract for repairs to the
boilers of the United States Army trans

merton Immediately, and will there be
repaired by the Government
The contract for repairing the Rose
Grams was let to J. c. Ollard e Co., of
Tacoma, and the boiler work was sub-let
by them to Seattle firms. The Rosecrans
was taken to Tacoma, and Ollard & Co.
began the task of overhauling her ma
chinsry and making other necessary re-
pairs. The Seattle sub-contractors also
began the repairs to her boilers, but this
part of the work was stopped as a result
Of the strike. Since then the OlIards
have gone steadily on with their part of
the work. The Government has decided.
however, to itself take the vessel and
complete the repairs at Bremerton.

A resolution by Representative Hogue
looking to the purchase and use of vot-

the house 1t was proposed to appoint
a Joint committee Of three from the
house and two from the senate, to inves-
tigate the question and make a report
of its findings to the governor to be
placed before the legislature Of 1908. The
slowness Of getting returns was recited
in the resolution as a trial to the reading
public because they cannot get the re-

paved for a bill for services coming in to

REGISTERING SLOWLY.
Election Commissioner Yount
Expects Rush to Soon BEGIN.

1.-THE registration for the spring cleo
ton. said L T. Yount, the commission
er of elections this morning. will IN
doubtedly be larger than ever before in
the history Of Topeka
The registration to date is over 1000
men and 800 women. This" continued
Mr. Yount, lis nearly double what the
registration was last year after the office
had been opened as long as it has been
this year.
Last fan about 900 women were reg
istersd ard fully anticipate that shat
number win be reached bs Saturday
night. I estimate that 5000 women will
register for the election this year. The
issues of this election are Bringing out
great many women who have never
voted before.
Il remember the other day a woman
who lives on Harrison street came into
the Office and in filing out the blank /
came to the question of WHAT is your
occupation2'
AT this she Strengthened up and NOV
ing her hat back father on her head
answered with great dignity and force.
I am politician I have never regis
tered before but I have now entered
politics.
well, I answered. said Mr.. Yount,
You certainly have the first attributes
of a politician at least.
Another time a man came in and said
he desired to be registered / asked
him what his occupation was and he
answered that he was a retired joint
keeper. and insisted as being registered
as Suc0.
Il told him that I would not register
him so and explained to him that while
it would sound like a good joke for
time that in all probability he would be
sorry for it some time and advised him
to register as a farmer. He finally COM
promised by answering to being proprie-
tor Of a restaurant"
A A Robinson, president of the Next
can Central railroad with headquarters
In the City of Mexico, registered this
morning. Mr.. Robinson lives at 900
Tyler street and always finds time to
register and take part in any movement
for the progress of Topeka
1t is amusing to look over the stubs
in the commissioner Office of the wo-
men who register. The occupation Of
Home Defender and '.JoInt Smasher''
appears almost as frequently as that of
housekeeper, clerk, etc
Many who want to register go to the
old rooms of the commissioner OF cleo
lions in the Office block. The commits
sioner has. however, been installed in
since the time of it's completion and all
those who desire to register will have
to go to the Auditorium. During this
week the office will be kept open until
nine o'clock to accommOds te the men
who can not find time to register dur
ing the day time. Four days before the
time for the registry books to close dep
uties will be placed in all the outlying
districts with registration books.
All who wish to vote in the city cleo
ton in April will have to register as the
law requires that registration be made
each calendar year and the registration
for the election last fall will not hold
good this year 1t is not necessary to
register to vote at the primary.
