Race War I'm Miniature Started
Last Night.
Several White Passengers More
or Less Hurt,
SLASHED WITH RAZOR.
Sixteen Stitches Taken I'm One
Mans Cheek.
Several Others Are Suffering
From Injuries.

If a race war does not break out in
Topeka before long it will be no fault
of dozen or more bad negroes with
which the town is infested. The public
is not safe with this gang running ut
large, and although few of them have
been put away for a few years on
charges of assault, murder and high
way robbery, the actions of those still
out give citizens a sufficient excuse to
get up and clean house." The excur-
sion train, which came in on the Rock
Island from Kansas City last night,
was infested by one of the tough negro
gangs, and life was a burden to the
passengers. Several white men were
stabbed or slashed with razors before

Question-What is the matter with
the water preSSure2 Why is it not as
good as it was before the 1908 flood?
Answer-The fire department records
show that at most fires occurring re-
Gently, the pressure has been about ITO,
which is practically the same that IL
was just prior to the flood. 1t is fact,
however, not denied by the water COM
pany, that the pressure is less than
it was say FIVE years ago, and not as
reliable. This is due to the fact that
the plant is now too small for the needs
of Topeka Five years ago the con-
sumption of water was, according 10
the water company officials. 6OO,OOOOOO
gallons a year; now it is 100000 900. The
same machinery is doing the work now
that did it then, and it is overtaXed-
Question-It is stated by one of the
members of the city council that before
the city can get the waterworks into
good condition, it will be necessary to
spend 100000 in improvements. Is that
correct2
nswef-President street offers to put
the waterworks into condition to sup
ply all the needs of Topeka for 10 years
at a cost of $4,000 to $4,000. This does
not include extension of mains to the
dry districts The city would doubt
less provide for the construction of ex-
tensions whenever a sufficient number
of customers would agree to take water
to make it a profitable business invest
ment thus assuming no more debt than
the extension would itself take care of.
Question-Is the machinery of the
waterworks pumping station and the
pipe system worn out2
Answer-According to the report of
expert engineers and hydraulic author
tiles. made in 1900 and again a few
months ago, since the flood, the pipe
system is practically as good as new,
and the boilers and pumps at the
pumping station are in first class con-
dition. The difficulty seems to be that
there is a need of more boiler capacity
and possibly more pumping capacity.
The present owners of the waterworks
say they can increase the capacity of
the present pumps 33 1-3 per cent by
building a reservoir and allowing the
water to flow from the reservoir
down into the pumps, instead of suck
ing it directly out of the wells.
Question-Is the waterworks as val
liable a property as it was before the
food?
Answer-The most serious defect in
the plant as it now stands, due to the
1903 flood, is the 5OO-foot strip of IS
inch water main leading to town

Palms Joint Rent Case.

In the suit of. Sophia Hogeboom against
rent for the building occupied by the
Palms joint, Judge Hazen decided this
morning that part of the demurrer to the
answer should be overruled and part not.
Judge Hazen held that the plea of the I'M
perial Brewing company that the vice
president had no authority to sign the
responsible for the rent was not good and
that the vice president was in authority.
The plea was also made that the lease
was void because the tenant, Uterman,
sold liquor and violated the law. Judge
Hazen held that had nothing to do with
the obligation to pay rent.

lives down in the bottoms, where the
negroes are mostly bad. Yesterday a
deaf mute boy was wandering around
in that locality, and a gang of young
negroes got after him with knives and
razors. Anthony tried to reason with
them, but they turned on him and
chased him in his house. He came out

the boy to the police station. Here the
officers bounced on him and locked him
