MUST PAY A LICENSE.
Judge Hamilton Holds the Express
Company Ordinance Good.

| Judge Hamilton decided adversely in
the case of the United States Express
| company vs. the city of Topeka in which
| the express company endeavored to show
that the city council could not legally i'm
pose license tax gainst the company.
! The company is represented in the city
by their agent, George H. Jones, and a
fine was assessed for non-payment of the
tax which is of the same amount as the
license Mr. Jones Immediately proceeded
to take steps for filing an appeal bond.
and the case will be further heard in the
| district court.
Mr.. John O'Keefe of Leavenworth, the
counsel for the express company, who ar
gued the case before Judge Hamilton last
week when the hearing was had, con-
tended that the city counsel in passing
such a license ordinance was conflicting
with the interstate commerce laws and
that in so doing the council was trans
cending its powers and the ordinance
could only be held unconstitutional The
fact that the license would be placed
upon the express company. which trans-
acted all of its business between points
both interstate and state and that the
tax was upon this business and the IL
cenSe paid from general fund accruin g
from the business done in the manner de-
| scribed, was held by Mr.. O'Keefe as af-
The brief presented in behalf of the
city by City Attorney Spencer cited the
in the states of Nebraska and Virginia,
in which telegraph companies operatin g
tax upon the poles. The supreme court in
NEBRASKA ana the court Oh appeals II Nlr-
ginia both upheld the constitutionality of
the tax City Attorney Spencer maintain
ed for the city, that the tax was i'm
posed upon the business done within the
state only and held that the state legis-
lature granted the power to a city council
for imposing such a tax
Judge Hamilton returned his opinion
Tuesday afternoon UNFOLDING the city $
contention. He considered that it was
the intention of the ordinance to levy
only on the business done within the con-
fines of the state and that such power
has been delegated by the state legisla-
ture to the city council, he would hold
against the express company.
The present case was in the nature of
a suit case and the ordinance will be
passed up for examination to the higher
courts.

TWINS 81 YEARS OLD.
Julius III. and Junius N. Benham Cele-
brate Birthday.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, July 20.-Julius H.
and Junius N. Benham, probably the
oldest twins in the United States, cele-
brated the eighty-seventh anniversary
of their birth with shore dinner which
they gave to several of their friends at
a summer resort near this city. The
party was a merry one, but not the
least active of those present were the
two hale old men, who look alike, dress
alike, speak alike, and, some of their
friends say, think alike
The BenhamS We're born on July 8,
1917, in Middlebury, Conn. Both are
hearty and actively attend to the care
of their extensive property in this city
and vicinity. Both are more than six
feet tall, stand very straight, and, eX-
cept for their snow white hair and
beard, there is nothing about them to
indicate how many years they have
lived.
Having learned the building trade in
this city, the brothers came here in
April, 1884. They built many of Bridge
ports important structures, including
South Congregational church, stands
directly opposite their office. Several
business blocks in Stamford and New
London still stand as records of their
youthful energy. They come of long
lived family. Their grandfather lived
to be 81 years old; their father, True
man Benham, was So and their mother
Sc when death called them, and their
only brother died at the age of St.
Steady habits temperance in all things,
and hard work is the cause ascribed by
the brothers for their present excellent
health and ripe old age.

TRAlNMEN STRIKE.
Threaten to Tie Up All Freight Trains
on Pennsylvania System.

Philadelphia, July 2O.-The Press tomor-
row will say:
In carrying out its policy of retrench-
ment. the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany is brought face to face with a
threatened strike that might tie up every
freight train on the entire system from
New York to Pittsburg.
Following closely upon the cutting down
of the clerical force, orders were issued
on Monday laying off one brakeman from
every freight crew of the divisions COM
prising the main line. Altogether up
ward of 1000 men are directly affected by
the order.
On the New York and middle divisions
this order went into effect Monday at
midnight. On the Philadelphia and Pitts
burg divisions it became operative last
midnight.
The trainmen located at Altoona, the
western end of the middle division, struck
on the receipt of the orders and refused
to take out their trains from Altoona TO
Harrisburg Tuesday morning. Twenty
crews from Harrisburg were telegraphed
for to take the places of the strikers and
We're sent on fast train to Altoona.
On the New York division the receipt
of the order was met with a notice from
the Brotherhood of Trainmen that unless
the men laid off were all put back in
weeks time the entire division would go
out strike.

HAS TWENTY NURSES.
Mrs. George Croclxer Arrives in New
York From Europe.

| New York. July 20-Surrounded by a
corps of twenty trained nurses and at
tended by two specialists, Mrs. George
! Croker, wife of the California million
aire, arrived, critically i'll. on the North
! German Lloyd Elmer Kron Prinz Will
helm. She was accompanied by her
husband and two children. So weak
was Mrs. Croker that she was in total
| ignorance of the voyage, and every
thing that money could buy was OBJ
! tanned to relieve her suffering.
Mrs. Crocker became i'll while abroad.
Her condition became alarming a short
time ago and it was then that her nus
band decided to return to America. E1v-
cry precaution was made to make the
trip a comfortable one. The cables and
/ telegraph were kept busy between Lon
don and San Francisco. Prof. Hertz
stein, noted specialist, and said to be
one of the greatest physicians on the
coast, was requested to hurry from the
Golden Gate and across the seas as
fast steam would carry him. Then a
corps of nurses, numbering twenty,
We're engaged and they, too, were Civ
en- passag e across the ocean.
All during the trip across the Allan
tic DR.. Eiertzstein drilled the young
women in their duties and when at last
they set foot on English soil every one
was in readiness to attend to the wants
, and comforts of their rich patient
A suite of rooms was engaged on the
Kron Prinz They were used as living
apartments by the nurses. while the
one in which Mrs. Croker lay was cut
off from all the others. Soft mats were
placed all over the floors and every
thing possible done to prevent the
slightest noise.
When the great liner was made fast
to its pier and the story became known
there was a great furry. Many large
tanks which contained oxygen were
taken from the ship All during the
voyage Mrs. Croker was supplied with
the pure air, and it was this that kept
| life in her body.
On the pier there was a large stretch
ed to convey Mrs. Croker from the
ship.
Before her marriage to Mr.. Croker
she was the widow of Mr.. Rutherford,
a rich Californian. Two children re-
suited from this union.
After her marriage to Mr.. Croker,
which took place at St Thomas church
in 1898, Mrs. Crocker entertained law
ishly at Newport.
Mr. Croker received million dollars
from mis- father for abstaining from al
coholic drinks for five years.

Nearly ALI of the So VINO received

during the coming term for the first
time. are graduates of the Topeka
high school.
THE wages for teachers in Shawnee
county during the term commencing
September u will be higher than pre-
~iously," said Superintendent Wright.
Besides there being an increase in the
wages paid the term of school will he
longer as nearly all the country schools
will have an eight months term. Last
year there was a shortage of teachers
In Shawnee county but for the coming
term we will be well supplied as the
era uates of the Topeka high school,
who have secured teachers certificates,
will bring the number of availab BILE
teachers up to the number sufficient 10
supply the country schools.
''Pra ctically all those who received
third grade certificates are new teach
@rs and from the high school. The
country school boards are always
anxious for high school graduates, as
they make excellent teachers. For
the past four years I have made a
particular effort to get high school
graduates interested in the normal in
gtitute, and the plan has been sue
cessful. and this year We secured more
recruits from the high school than
ever before. The percentage of those
who passed the examination to be-
come teachers this term is greater
than ever before. Our usual num-
Der to secure certificates is about So
and this year is 1O5."
