law requires that the consent OF two

So Mr. Aston walled it UP and used q

WITNESSES CALLED.

Having the foregoing in mind, and
sincerely respecting the instructions Of
your Honor, and the evils which are de-
sired to be corrected during the pro-
gress of investigation we called before
us representatives of the clergy, press,
medical profession, police and laity.
The question has been approached from
the standpoint of morality and public
health.
1--WE find that prostitution is carried
on in this city, but not flagrantly in the
business or residence sections. Accord
ing to testimony of police, unrecogniz-
ed houses of prostitution do exist, and
houses Of designation are being con-
stantly watched and the occupants
prosecuted.

slres to express its appreciation of the
able, thorough, impartial and courteous
manner in which the Deputy Attorney
General Emil C. Peters, has performed
his duties in connection with the pre-
sent session Of this Grand jury, and
to acknowledge the assistance rendered
by w. S. Fleming and also to thank

for five years on that building and
the one now occupied by the Jones
Dry Goods company.
As soon as possession can be gained
of the Warner & Potter premises re-
ferred to above, it is the purpose to
equip the enlarged store, and make
improvements in the old store to the
end that this shall be one of Topeka's
largest and best stores.
The added room will give more than
double the floor space formerly occu-
pied by kemper & Paxton. AS stated
by one of the Mr.. Jones', it is the pur-
pose to make this one of the most pop
ular department stores in Kansas.
There will be force of buyers in
charge of the various departments of
the Topeka store, who will cooperate
closely with the large and experienced
force of buyers in the Kansas City
store, the result being that all the good
things captured in the markets by
either corps of buyers will be divided
with the other store. With the buying
and selling of quantities of merchan-
disc by these two great stores running
into millions of dollars per annum, it is
needless to say that Topeka people are
to be congratulated upon the fact that
they will have in their midst, a branch
of this institution, whose liberal dealing
and reputation for integrity and hon
esty have in no small measure contrib
uted to the wonderful growth of this
great store.
