Revolving Treatment Given
American Women in China.

New York, July 2--This extract is
made by the Washington correspond

itary operations in China now being
prepared by the bureau of military in
formation at the war department
"Looting and pillaging of the city

ed in by many Europeans, was on the
first day entirely unrestricted; later the
allied commanders, as soon as atten-
ton could be given to 1t, adopted Sc
we're repressive measures to put stop
to it, and the scandal was soon discon-
tinued.
THE Japanese, on account of the adj
mirable discipline under which their
soldiers are held, are said to have done
the least lOOting. Strict orders from
our officers and American training and
instinct prevented our men from en-
gaging in this orgy of thieving and
outrage"
The foregoing reference is base upon
reports from American officers
The American soldier is criticised
freely in the review. For efficiency and
fighting he is held to be the equal of
any and superior to many. The fault
found with the American soldiers is
their 'slovenly appearance off duty"

OF the volume treats of outrages on

FOSTER is RELIEVED.
Injunction Against Colored Politician
Is Dissolved.

Judge Hazen Monday afternoon dis
solved the injunction brought by Mrs
Foster against her husband Rev B. F.
Foster, the colored minister and poll
tician.
Mrs. Foster entered a complaint against
Foster charging him with insanity He
was tried before a commission in the dis
trict court and found to be not insane
and was discharged. Then Mrs. Foster
sued for divorce and got out an injune-
ton in the district court to restrain Fos-
ter from entering his home, from dispos-
ing of his property his life insurance or
his bank account. When the hearing of
the injunction case was over Judge Hazen
dissolved the restraining order Foster >
life insurance amounts to paid up pol
lev of 81. 400. Foster is a well known col
ored minister and was a candidate for
state auditor on the POpultst ticket
when John r. Willitts ran for governor
Rev. Mr.. Foster said today: This whole
trouble has been brought about because
my wife wants to get me out Of the way
and get my property. Mrs T. e Bow
man has had my wife employed in doing
religious work around town. and as a
consequence my wife has been away from
home practically ell the time and has not
given the home nor our children the care
they should receive [ demonstrated and
took my meals up town and stald at the
house very little each day. Because Of
that she accused me OF neglect and abuse

MODEL PAVEMENT.
It Is Said to Be That Just Completed
on College Avenue.

1.-THE pavement which is being laid on
College avenue" said City Engineer
McCabe today. lis one of the best jobs
of pavement laying ever done in the
city of Topeka. The quality of the brick
which is being used, the way in which
they are being laid the curbing. and
everything about the job is just about
the acme of vitrified brick paving"
Mr. McCabe states that one feature of
the College avenue pavement which is
better than ordinary pavement is the
fact that the car tracks are paved
flush with the rest of the pavement,
and not higher, as is sometimes done.
Speaking of the protest which was
night against the kind of material
which has been hauled to the Jefferson
street pavement between Fifth and
Sixth, Mr.. NcCabe said:
THE city will see to 1t that no de-
fective material goes into that pave
ment. I'VE can not inspect the material
as it is hauled to the street, but we do
inspect it before it is laid. We never
hesitate to send back brick which are
in the least defective The pavement
of Jefferson street between Fourth and
Fifth was delayed for a week because
we would not let the contractors lay
the kind of brick which had been sent
them from the kilns- There is a great
deal of complaint about the brick from
the Blackman kilnS. The pavement on
Madison street, laid last year, is a dis
grace to the city. 1t is made Of Black
man brick and I told Mr.. Blackman
recently that If he expected to continue
in the brick business in Topeka he
ought, for his own sake, to haul away
the brick which have been put into the
Madison street pavement, and lay new
brick at his own expense. He can afford
to do this better than to leave it as 1t
pavement specify that the other kind
of brick be used

THE MAYORS SALARY.

fact that it is compelled to borrow
money to maintain its present expen-
SEES. last evening voted the mayor a
large increase in salary and quadrup

one viii maintain that a councilman is
very poorly paid. One may also ad-
init that $500 is not enough for the
mayor, but is Mayor Hughes worth
$500 more per annum than any mayor
Topeka has ever enjoyed; and are the
present councilmen worth four times
as much as any other aldermen in view
Of the fact that the city must go to
the bank and borrow the money to pay
this increase; and in view of the furth-

the Ancient Order of Pyramids has

NOT OWNED BY CITY.
Wolff Packing Co. Sewer Will Be Ex-
tended by Company.

Mayor Hughes and Street Comm Isl
sioner Snyder were called to the Wolff
packing house this morning to inspect
a sewer which the Wolff people thought
the city ought to extend to the river.
After inspecting the sewer the officials
of the city discovered that it was not
a CITY sewer at ALL but a private one
owned by the Wolff packing house.
1t will be necessary to extend the
sewer about twenty feet to allow 1t to
empty into the river. This extension is
made necessary because of the large
amount of made" land which the Wolff
company has been building out into the
river.
The extension to the sewer will be
made by the Wolff company at once.

as to lead to the belief that the gross
