WILL VOTE ON PARKS.
City Council to Again Submit
Proposition.

At the special meeting of the council
tonight, it seems certain that the park
bond proposition will be adopted The
council will instruct the city clerk to
place the proposal to vote $4,000 in park
improvement bonds on the city ticket
of the coming city election. There is
very little opposition to this plan among
the councilmen. Most of them take the
position that they should relieve them
selves of the responsibility of refusing
by simply referring the matter to the
voters of Topeka, and giving them a
chance to decide for themselves wheth-
er or not they want to issue the bonds.
We do not want to block the way Of
Improvement provided the voters of To-
peka are in favor of the proVement,
said one of the councilment TODAY.
Councilman Joseph Griiey thinks that
his ward is not being given a large
enough proportion of the $40. 900, and
may make a night for bigger slice. The
Second ward has no park ground pur-
chased vet, and the sum of $1,000
has been appropriated for the Second
ward whenever it get ready to use it.
I'VE should be given more than So
000.'' said Councilman Griley. 1t is not
fair that $4,000 should be used for Cen
trail park, and only $4,000 for the Second
ward park We expect to buy an ex-
pensive piece of ground which will not
require much Improvement Central
park is simply old gully and will re-
qulrS- much Improvement 80 the people
in the Central park benefit district are
getting the most benefit from the $45, 900
bond issue"
SECOND WARD PARK.
A meeting of the Second ward people

has been called by Frank Stevens, who.
is at the head of the park movement in
the Second ward.
The sums from proposed bond issue
to be devoted to the princiapl parks of

ANOTHER MAINE CASE.
None Knows Who Is Responsible For
Miss Stones Seizure.

Washington, March lot is again
specifically stated here that no demand
has been made upon Turkey in connec-
ton with Miss Stones case. The action
taken by Minister. IJeishman as reported
from Constantinople was simply to con-
serve any rights which might be devei-
oped hereafter and his note to the Turk
ish government amounted to. nothing
more than a statement that, the United
States government Intended to make a
thorough investigation of the incidents
connected with the kidnapping and at
the conclusion of that investigation
would look for redress to the party
upon whom responsibility was fixed 1t
may be added that the whole trend OF
evidence so far is very strongly against
the Rulgarfans and not against the
Turks

TEBEAU WINS OUT.
Court Permits Him to Establish Ball
Park in Louisville.

Louisville, KY, March 10.-In the cir
cult court Judge Shackelford Miller sus-
tanned the demurrer of George Tebeau
who holds the Louisville franchise in
the American association. to the petit
tion of property owners in the vicinity
of Seventh and Kentucky streets asking
for an injunction to prevent Tebeau
from establishing a baseball park IN
that neighborhood. Judge Miller holds
that baseball in itself is not a nuisance
and that the property owners only re-
course is a suit for damages or a GRIM
inal prosecution if they consider they
have suffered any harm. Tebeau will
now be able to proceed with his plans
for the season.

The interstate commerce commission
is about to institute suit against divers
and sundry railroads on a charge of
violating the law by granting rebates to
the packing houses. The commission
tried for a number of years to ascertain
from the packers whether or not they
were getting concessions in freight
rates but these gentlemen steadfastly
denied it. Finally they decided to try
the railroad manag gers and We're imme-
diately rewarded. They found that their
suspicious were correct. The railroad
men admitted without hesitation. that
they had been granting rebates to the
packers for years and appealed to the
commission to help them to stop. Hence
the suits.

TWO POLICEMEN GO.
Their Places Won't Be Filled Now
Says the Mayor.

Mayor Parker cut down the police
force by two men Saturday. The men
to be let out were Kent Raub and G.
W. Cannon, both recently appointed by
Mayor Hughes. No appoint ents will
be made in place of Mr.. Raub and Mr..
Cannon. Two of the Parker appointees
who. have been sick until recently are
now able to be on duty again.
In connection with the reduction in
the size of the force, it is interesting to
note that the cost of running the police
department last month was 81, S60.S6.
while the average per month under
Mayor Hughes was $1,000, a saving of
about $500 in one month
Besides that, the receipts of the police
department during the month of Feb
ruary were S2,S5725, while for the pre-
ceding months under Chief Stahl the re-
ceipts averaged about $3.50 per. month.
The amount saved, together with the
increase in receipts, made net gain of
$500 for that one department of the
city during the month of February.
The exact figures for the total expen-
SEES of the police department for the
ct =iv follows.

Mayor Carter Harrison has come to
the conclusion that $4,000 is altogether
too much of a salary for Chicago to
pay her mayor. No doubt, he is sim
cere in that sentiment: but the obser
walton of years goes to show that the
general public when man thinks the
size of his salary needs reducing, is
more likely to think that the size of the
man needs increasing.-AIbany Argus.
Perhaps the public would think more
of the man who thinks his salary too
large if he would set about increasing
his efforts to earn it. This salary COM
plant is generally regarded as a cheap
effort to gain public notice.
