Mayor Bergundthal has Investigate
ed the electric light business to con-
siderable extent and he is a firm be-
lever in the closed arc system. 1t
was under his direction that the FIT
Wayne electric company placed one of
it's lamps here in Topeka as a test.
In order to operate one closed arc
lamp on a circuit intended for open
arc service it is necessary to have a
rather complicated arrangement of
shunts and wires and things about
which the layman knows very little.
The lamp runs all right, but it wastes
considerable electricity, which it would
not do on a circuit intended for the
closed arc lamps.
1t may be that the talk of con-
solidating the electric light plant with
the waterworks pumping station when
the city gets possession of that prop
erty will tend to delay any changes
of importance at the old electric power
house. When the city gets ready to
make this important change, if it ever
does, the circuits would probably be
changed at once from the open arc to
the enclosed arc plan.

One-hfth of the ground about North
Topeka is high enough to provide a

plan made by Mr. Rogers. has been
utilized. For the present Mr.. Rogers
thinks that a dyke should be built west
of North Topeka from the river north
to Cleveland street, distance of about
one mile This would furnish pro-
lection from the waters which come
from Soldier creek near Cairo and
Menoken-
Another dyke south of the bend in

point near the Rock Island bridge

If such a dyke was built it would

This does not include any discount on
proceedings. If the committee decides
to require that the Capital reimburse
the city for this padding. it will add
about 81, 900 to the Capitals debt to the
city.
1t seems to be the general impression
with the members of the committee
that the Capital will try to avoid pay
ing the $246.O2 overcharges from August,
1900, to April, 1901. The chairman of the
committee has turned over to the Capt.
tai copy of the committees report as
far back as April, 1901. In April, 1901,
the new company took charge of the
Capital. and assumed the contract for
city printing made by the old concern.
Members of the committee are now
talking about the question of criminal
liability for the overcharges- There is
some disposition to probe deep.
Chairman William Green has called
on the city clerk to prepare copies of
the city printing bills for the years
1S99-1900 and 1S9S-99. This will include
one year of the State Journals work.
The committee will meet this evening
to measure up the State Journals print
ing for the year beginning August,
1899.

tee elected S. T. Howe and William

report of the committees findings.

ROUMANIA WOULD
HEAR OF HAWAII

From "The Blue Danube" has come
a request to the Hawaii Promotion
Committee to forward a number of un-
mounted photographs and literature on
Hawaii, which will be distributed
among the agents on the line of the
Danube Steam Navigation Company.
VIM. Gruner, general superintendent
of the system, with headquarters at
GalatZ, Roumania, has asked for the
information, and the next mail to the
coast will carry a considerable stock
to him.
The superintendent states in a postal
card that he may be of some service
in informing travellers about Hawaii.
The Promotion Committee has some
very fine photographs which are OBJ
tanned through the usual sources, but
most of the stock pictures taken, and to
be sold by photographers, are generally
of familiar scenes in the Islands. ANA
teur photographers oftentimes hit upon
some unusually attractive picturesque
features of scenery and the Promotion
Committee is anxious to secure copies
to send to the mainland for exhibition
purposes.

anthropy. These men have been fol-
lowed and supplemented by other
workers and writer's, so that now the
literature of applied sociology is large.
and adequate to the establishment Of
some important conclusions.
II has become evident that there are
two great classes of causes tending to
poverty and degeneration the subject
i've, or those inherent in the man him
self, and the objective, or those inher-
ent in the present organization Of So
ciety. The most striking fact about
the subjective causes is that the same
causes appear in all the studies in
both Europe and America.
There are five great causes of pow
erty. as follows: Sickness, ntemper-
ance, incapacity. sensuality, unem-
ployableness. These causes will vary
however in ages Of persons. With
aged persons there is general break
ing down because of illness which is
the natural cause of premature old age.
Sensuality as a direct cause will ap-
pear higher among women than among
men because 1t is more serious with
women. Intemperance is a form of in
capacity The classification was arbi-
trary Mrs. Smith explained, but it
was the only means to arrive at an
understanding of human nature to get
at some judicious action by classify
ing the masses of men into sections so
that they may be more easily compre-
hended, much as one piles money, ten
pieces to a pile. That is the object of
statistics. The causes vary, and no
one cause operates alone. Mrs. Roberts
took for example a drunken husband.
Going behind the cause of his intern
perance it may be found that his wife
has a violent temper and drove him
from home on occasions until he found
solace in a saloon. and from being a
moderate drinker he drank to excess.
This resulted in the breaking up of the
home. There were no hard and fast
rules. The main causes are too often
interviewer with minor ones.
The classification given by Mrs.
Smith constitutes by far the greatest
part of the characteristics of the pow
erty-stricken classes. The speaker
discussed each of the causes at length,
emphasizing especially their complex
ity and interdependence and quoting
the old saying that poor folks have
poor ways

BEFORE THE
. POLICE JUDGE
Turk oman Drops Her
Case Against
Frank.

Except for the presence of the Turk
woman who came to withdraw the
charge against her husband business
was slow in the police court yesterday.
The case of Leon Straus, attorney,
charged with cashing a warrant that
did not belong to him went over for
a week. Ventura Garcia, Porto Ri
can, charged with larceny got the bene-
1T of a nolle prosequi. Another Porto
Rican, Pedro Rica, alias Fredarico
Rodriguez, was committed to the cir
cult court for trial on a charge of hav-
ing drawn a razor on another Porto
Rican. Two Japs appeared on char
ges of being common nuisances and
His Honor made it four dollars each
and costs.
Then Albert Kaiser. an old German,
and almost blind, was brought up. A
woman owned a dog. Yesterday the
dog was found to have a hole in it's
side from which blood was flowing.
Kaiser was seen to have knife. There
fore he was guilty. At least this is
what the neighbors thought and that
is what they told the judge. The judge
decided that Kaiser was not guilty Of
attempting to murder the dog.
Sam Fox had been drunk but forfeit
ed bail of six dollars in order to save
himself lecture. So was Joe Fraga,
but he came into court and was assess
ed three dollars and costs.
The next name was &c. Macpherson"
Here is q chance to do a good turn
for a fellow from the land of my an
cestors," thought the Scotch judge.
But the alleged Scotchman turned out
to be a Porto Rican. However. the
judge detected that he had been asso-
ciating with the Scotch considerably
during the previous night and consid-
cred that his entertainment was worth
about three dollars and the regulation
costs.
Then Mary Norris" alias Mrs. j. Fl.
Love, appeared to answer to three
charges of assault and battery She
was an attractive looking woman. 1t
appeared that Mary had been in a
rough house in which she had more or
less battered the persons of Miss Ah
Chuck, Mrs. Jos. Vierra, and Mrs. La
pana. There were four nationalities
represented in the trouble and accord
ing to all accounts it was interesting.
Mary found one of the women wearing
new shawl. She had missed a lap
robe and declared that the new shawl
had been made from the lap covering.
She charged the ladies with this offense
and the pilikia followed. Judge Lind
say made it five dollars and COSTS
Farm Cornn appeared. He is not
one of the original small farmers but is
sleek looking young Chinaman. He
had been a shareholder in the Fidelity
Insurance Company. Another China
man had said naughty things concern
ing the Fidelity. Arguments ensued
and Farm Cornn had refuted the other
fellows arguments by a vigorous use
of his fists. He paid a dividend of FIVE
dollars to the court.

WHEN LADIES
PLAY THE HOST

The Leap Year dance of Mrs. Mary
Gum, set for February -, holds some-
what of an innovation in it's plan as
far as Honolulu is concerned. The
whole expense of the ball, which is
held at the Hawaiian Hotel, is borne
by the ladies who have the privilege of
electing their gentlemen guests and the
latter are practically out of 1t as far
as choice is concerned of those who
are to be present or who are to join in
the dances.
Each lady to whom the invitation to
participate in the dance has been sent,
possesses the privilege, in exchange for
the subscription as notified. of inviting
two gentlemen. During the evening
the. gentlemen will take the second
place being relegated to wall-fiower
positions If the ladies so choose while
the latter play cavalier.
The ladies, taking advantage of their
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES privilege, will
range the floor and choose whom they
will take for partners while the only
attribute of choice left the gentlemen
will be the borrowed retort of my
card is full l am afraid" AS the la
dies pay the piper they have a
right to choose the dance" and woman
will dominate the Leap Year Ball to it's
inevitable success

WARRANTS AGAIN
TO BE REGISTERED

Treasurer A. N Kepoikai gives notice
this morning that payment of warrants
on current expenditures account, ex-
cepting for salaries and pay rolls, will
be deferred from date of yesterday.
Unpaid warrants will be registered and
draw interest of five per cent per an
mum. In an interview with an Adver-
tiser reporter, the Treasurer stated
that this arrangement was indefinite
in duration. 1t will therefore last un-
til the Territorial funds are replenished
from incoming taxes.
Mr. Kepoikai further said that war
rants were being issued without ques-
tion under the appropriation bills of
the 1908 session. Nothing more Is
heard about test case regarding the
validity of expenditures under those
measures.
