Its Publication

A complete history Of the food in To-
peEa and Kansas will be written by
Mrs. w. A. McCarter and published by

the meeting of the federation this morn
ing at Unity church. Mrs. McCarter
has consented to write the history for
which Mrs. A. H. Horton, the president
and the other members of the executive

and it is believed that there will be a
big demand for it, The proceeds will
go to the relief fund. Mrs. McCarter
has published several books and her
literary ability is well known in To-
peka. Her account of the disaster is
certain to be both readable and relia-
BILE.
The club women are to continue IN
the relief work which they have been
doing since the beginning of the flood
and plans to systematic their work
were made this morning. Vacant
houses and rooms available for the
flood victims were reported and the in

NEED FOOD AT SHOREY.
The suburb of Shorey is kept con-
stantly eaten out of provisions The
women Of the half dozen houses where
refugees have been fed are nearly ex-
hausted with their constant efforts to
replenish the supply of cooked vituals.
For the first time in five DAYS they ate
three meals on Thursday. Strict rules
have been made regarding the feeding
of strangers. BOatmen are given -e-
freshments whenever they land People
who occupy the houses in the vicinity
secure their provisions at the station on
SINNERS nursery which is in charge of
W. T. Purdium Of the Reform school;
but all others are sent direct to the Re
form school and are refused food unless
in extremity. No more refugees are be-
ing landed at this point. The annoy
ance to the people here is caused by re-
turning flood victims who sought refuge
in the hills but are now returning to see
the sights or to cross the river.
On account of the annoyance from
nightly visitors a patrol is maintained
among the houses. The water has left
Shorey but disgusting evidences of the
freshet are visible on every hand.

HAD TO WAIT TURNS.
Opening Of Pontoon Bridge Relieved
the CONGESTION.

Before the pontoon bridge to the
north side was completed Thursday,
there was a tremendous rush to get
across on the cable. Fifty people were
crowded around the landing at the
north end waiting their turn and
turns seemed to go by the favoritism of
the man who was loading the passen-
gers. Finally Election Commissioner 4.
S Williams came over to take charge
of the work, and cleared the situation
greatly by issuing numbers to the peo-
pie waiting, to indicate their turn. He
issued numbers up to 81, and then went
away to attend to some other business.
The men in charge of the rope resumed
the practice Of sending people across
whom they wanted to specially favor,
and as a result of this practice, only
five numbers had gone across at the end
of an hour. Just as No. was going
across, the pontoon bridge was COM
pleted, and the chap who had No 81
actually beat the man who held No.
in getting across to the Melan bridge.

HITS CEMENT TRUST
Hitchcock Thinks He Sees
Scheme to Blk Government.
Globe Special Washington Service,

Globe Special Washington Service,
1417 G Street.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. I'll
Secretary Hitchcock believes he has
checkmated a plan on the part Of the
cement trust to make the government
pay three times as much as it is worth
for cement used in the construction of
irrigation works. In his opinion the
attitude of the combination of cement
manufacturers amounts to an attempt
to rob the government of many mil
lions of dollars.
The secretary was not satisfied with
the bids made for furnishing cement
to be used in the Tonic basin irriga-
ton works in Arizona and sent an ex-
pert to Arizona to make an examina-
ton. The cement combine asked SO a
barrel for it's product, but the secre-
tary found that cement equally good
could be produced by the government
in the vicinity of Tonic basin for So a
barrel. This would mean a saving to
the government of nearly 100000 on
the Tonic basin project alone The
cement men have become alarmed and
have protested to Secretary Hitchcock
that the government ought not enter
upon any industry that would compete
with private companies.
