GASOLINE EXPLODED.
Mrs. Clarence Chamberlain Is
Severely Burned.

Clarence Chamberlain, and his wife,
Mrs. Maud Chamberlain, who live at
1880 Jackson street. were badly burned
this morning at about o'clock by the
explosion of gasoline. The room where
the explosion occurred was set on fire,
and badly damaged.
A cup of gasoline had been left stand
ing on the table in the kitchen, and the
vapor had filed the air. Mr.. Chamber
lain was in the room, and Mrs. Cham
berlain brought in a lamp. which was
lighted The explosion occurred at that
instant. Mrs. Chamberlains clothing
was set on fire. and it was with great
difficulty that Mr.. Chamberlain got her
outside of the house and put out the
fire. He also rescued his little daughter
Mabel who was in the room, but who
someway escaped from being burned.
After saving his wife and child, Mr..
Chamberlain rushed back into the
burning room, and shut all the doors.
He then ran to the fire alarm box, two
blocks away, and tried to turn in an
alarm, but someone had plugged up the
key hole with a stick. and he could not
get the box open. He then ran all the
way to the fire station and gave the
alarm.
The kitchen was badly damaged be-
fore the fire was extinguished.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chamberlain's wounds
consist of burns on the hands and face.
They are not dangerously hurt

SANTA FE WANTS THEM
Would Like to Buy Issue For
the Shop Site.

It is likely that the Santa Fe railway
itself will buy up the $4,000 worth Of
Santa He shop bonds which the city OF
Topeka has issued.
The Santa Fe will of course have to
take the bonds in competition with 9TH
er bidders, but the disposition of the
council is thought to be favorable to
giving the. bonds to the Santa Fe if
possible.
The state school fund will also buy
the bonds if an opportunity is given.
Several of the Topeka banks are after
them. as well as the usual long string
of eastern bond buyers Several of the
eastern buyers have instructed their
agents here to go after the bonds hard
provided the mayor question il finally
settled before the time Of the sale, but
to refuse to bid if that question is still
in the courts The local buyers, how
ever, and those who understand the sit
uation best, and not worried about the
legality of the bonds, regardless of .yvho
should finally win out in the mayorolty
contest

STOPS INQUESTS.
Attorney General GODDARD Tells When
They Are Unnecessary.

Attorney General GODDARD has given
an opinion which viii cut down cor
oners' inquests and save thousands oe
dollars to the counties of Kansas. H c.
Bowman, county attorney of Harvey
county, asked for the opinion on the
necessity of holding inqEests in cases
of deaths by accident
Mr. GODDARD held that it was not nee
essary to hold inquests over bodies of
persons where cause of death is known.
Coroners have heretofore reaped har-
vests of fees in accidental deaths where
the cause was plainly evident. as minor
railroad wrecks and mishaps IN ma
chinery- Hereafter, it is held, inquests
shall be held only when the cause of
death is unknown, or there Is a sus-
picson Of foul play.
