President Board of Education
Attacks Plumbing Ordinance.
Will Ask City Council to Change
1t.
BENEFIT OF PLUMBERS
Says That Plan Works Well for
Them.
President of Board Of Health
Stands By Ordinance.

An effort is to be made, probably at
Monday nights council meeting. TO
bring about a revision Of the city
plumbing ordinance. The fight on the
ordinance is led by W. H. Wilson.
chairman of the buildings committee
Of the board of education. and is the
result Of the attack made on the
plumbing in the city schools by the
board Of plumbing inspectors and the
city board of health.
Everything indicates that the fight
viii be a very bitter one, especially
between certain individuals involved.
There is a great deal of personal ami
mostly manifested. and some scorch-
ing comments are being exchanged.
W. H. Wilson said this morning:
Yes, we are going to get that plumb
ing ordinance changed. We want all
those portions which require US to use
individual closets in the city schools
cut out. The Latrine system is by far
the best for schools. and the plumbing
ordinance was drawn up by Frank Ed
son for the purpose Of cutting them
out.
Somebody has said that I am max
ing a personal fight out Of this, and
that have a grudge against Plumbing
Inspector CLANCY 1 have nothing
against Clancy SO long as~he does not
come sticking his nose into my bust
ness. But won't stand it to have
anybody interfering with my business.
This plumbing ordinance was
drawn for the benefit of the plumbers.
In our public school arrangements we
have the American Latrine system,
which requires only one flush tank.
whereas the individual closets each re-
quire a separate tank and separate
connections. 1t stands to reason that
the Latrine system is cheapest. If
DR.. Aenninger says otherwise, he mis-
represents what he knows to be true
Not only are the Latrine closets
cheapest, but they are best These big
hotels here in Topeka have very I'M
sanitary plumbing, and it is the kind
which these plumbers advocate. The
Latrine system can be cleaned out
with a broom and water or acid The
other system can't be gotten into at
all and stays dirty
As it now stands, the plumbing or
dinance absolutely prohibits the con-
struction of any more latrine closets
in the city. Not only In one section of
this ordinance does the prohibition
appear. but in many sections 1T is re-
iterated and referred to in such way
that the ordinance would have to be
completely reconstructed and rebuilt
to eliminate the features to which the

FACULTY IS NOT CHANGED.
Washburn Board of Trustees Acts on
Teachers for the Coming Year.


The board of trustees of Washburn
college have spent considerable time
in considering the interests of the
school, and especially those in regard
to the teaching force of the college.
All OF the members of the college
faculty are retained and their serv-
ices are requested for next year. Prof
T. ". Todd who has been Instructor

feSSOr in German. Prof Todd is a
very thorough German scholar, has
spent good many years in Germany
and has given thorough satisfaction in
his work The election to professor
viii make him permanent factor in
the college.
In the academy, Mr.. ". ". Silver
has been reelected as principal, and
Miss Morton and Miss Willard were
also continued as teachers in that de-
partment.
Prof. Wilbur ]. Greer, instructor of
Latin, has been reelected to the posi-
ton for another year Prof Greer

On Sunday afternoon the Valley
league season opens with Topeka at
Leavenworth, Sedaia at Joplin, Fort
Scott at Springfield. and Pittsburg at
lola. Practically none of the teams
have definitely decided upon their
personnel for the first game, because
all Of them are still trying out men
Gus Alberts stated yesterday that MS
leaguers would go on the diamond to-
morrow afternoon as follows Arm

Kellar. second base; Olson, shortstops
Eissley, third base; Beyiss left neld;
Cole, center field; Lining. right field;
Etinson. pitcher That IS the aggre-
cation with which Topeka viii start
out after the pennant. 1t presents
three faces with which the local fans
are not acquainted-Bevis Abbott and
Efsslev Two of them are known
quantities and Will probably wear the
red and gray Of the TOpekans all sum-
rner. They are Sissley and Bevis- The
former is from the ST Joe Western
league. The latter played with Fort
Scott in the Valley league last year
and is all right Abbott is the guam
tity with an X after his name. Al
berts says that he played with the St
Paul team for two years. and that
certainly ought to be pretty strong

worth on probation II he makes
good he can stay. otherwise the nego-
tiatious fon Green, the Atchison first
baseman. Will again be renewed. At
second Kellar is showing up strong

field Coles work has proven satisfac-
tory Lining, who viii play the right
field, will probably be there all sum-
mer- He is a coming fielder" says
Gus Alberts. And "Spartacus' knows.
Besides he is an excellent catcher. A
big crowd viii probably be on hand at
LeavenwOrth Sunday to witness the
game. An excursion is on between
Topeka and Kansas City over. the
Santa Fe. From the Missouri river
town electric cars run to Leaven-
worth every hour. The Leavenworth
papers state that at least 500 people
will be up from Kansas City to watch
the game. A big crowd of Topekans
viii probably also go.
The Springfield Leader evidently
doesn't like down-in-the-mouth talk
from the other fellows. There seems to
be trouble brewing Up at Fort Scott
and already there is d wall about
money shortage and quitting the
league. Fort Scott is the hardest loser
in the league and has not recovered
from last years shock Springfield is
likewise a. hard loser but it is not in
the Scott class.

have dubbed him, IS already a favor

This plumbing ordinance is a very
good ordinance it is just the kind

Plumbing Inspector E. A. CLANCY
says: Anybody who does not under

up as required by the state laws, and

The state law regarding the ap-

his coming out.
