ELECTRIC LINE TO WAIT
Capitalists Will See About 1t After
Election.

Chicago and New York capitalists
have signified their intention of in
vesting in the bonds of the Topeka,
Eskridge & Council Grove Interurban
railway, and representatives will come
to Topeka some time in the near fu-
ture to look over the situation.
Robert Stone. president of the pro-
posed electric line from Topeka to
Council Grove, was asked today for
the names of the men who are expect
ed to furnish the money for the build
ing of the line.
Il wish 1 might give out their
Names" he said, but pending nego-
tiations are such that it would not be
good policy to disclose the names at
this time
The proposed electric line. which
viii be SIS miles in length, is estimated
to cost a million dollars.
Dover and Auburn townships in
Shawnee county have already voted
bonds for county and township aid to
the extent of $4,000 per mile. Mission
township is yet to have an election for
auth orizing bonds in that township.
Every township through which the
line will pass in Wabaunsee county
has already voted bonds for aid in
building the line and the election for
the passage of the bond aid in the
two townships in Morris county will
soon be held.
OF the total distance of So miles, aid
has been voted for As miles of the
road. The aid Is UNIFORM SUM VI
$4,000 per mile
AS soon as the elections have been
held in the remaining townships, the
matter of securing the right or way
for the line will be begun. The resi-
dents of the townships through which
the line will pass greatly desire the
road and the right of way will be do
mated the entire distance. it is antici-
pated.
The work of the surveyors has
left
grades and difficulties which will be
encountered in construction are now IN
the hands of the directors of the COM
pany. The line it is proposed will fol-
low through a valley where the cost
of grading will be comparatively light.
1t is estimated that the cost of con-
struction and equipment including
power houses will average about $2O,-
600 per mile
1t is anticipated that all the details
will be arranged this fall, the material
ordered and the work of construction
will be begun early in the spring.

JUDGE BREWERS RULE.
Will Not Allow Anybody to Talk More
Than IS Minutes.

St. Louis, Sept. 29.-The proceedings
of the Universal congress of lawyers
and jurists, which will continue
throughout the week are to be con-
Quoted with dispatch and without loss
of time. President Brewer announced
that he would hold the congress strict
ly to the rules adopted, which provide
that discussions must be limited to 10
minutes by each speaker and that any
member desiring to talk upon any sub
ject must first send his card to the
president, stating the fact or he will
not be recognized as entitled to a hear
ing.
The first address of today's session
was delivered by Vice Judge Gustave
z. Fahlcrantz, advocate of Stockholm
Sweden.
Vice Judge Fahlcrantz said in part:
1T will be easily recognized that
there are two ways for arriving at an
answer to the question of justice, that
the method must depend upon the view
we take of the administration of justice
itself as either practical thing or a
matter of science. As a practical thing
1 am looking upon the administration
of justice mainly as a means of help,
a mans office assisting those who are
suffering wrong. Administration of
justice as a science looks upon matters
more from a generalization point of
view under which each case is put in a
certain class with respect to some GER
tain great features or certain signs.
The individuality of the case is not so
CLOSELY considered.

NEW PACKING HOUSE.
Local Capitalists Plan to Erect an
Independent Plant.

Within a few days a meeting will be
held by a number of Topeka grocery
and meat dealers to organize and build
another packing plant in Topeka. A.
L. S. Green, of the firm of Green 81
Sons, is one of the chief promoters. He
was asked for a statement this morn
ing and said:
Nothing definite has yet been done.
In fact we have not yet had a meeting.
One will however be called shortly at
which time an organization will be
perfected. We are planning to start out
with a capitalization of $50, 900. That is
not a large sum for a packing house as
you can see. OF that amount about
$4,000 is now subscribed. Before COM
ing to q definite organization we will
also obtain an option on site for the
plant. We want something close to
the river. The Lakin tract would be
very good. Close to the Kuehne vine
gar factory in North Topeka is another
good place. Then we have some others
in view also
When asked whether Armour, Nell
SON Morris, or any of the other great
packing houses of the United States
were interested, Mr.. Green replied that
they were not. This is purely To-
peka concern. Mr.. Wolff has nothing
to do with it either" he concluded.

S2O,OOO,OOO SAVED.
BY a Discovery Made by an American
Engineer on the Isthmus.

Chicago, Sept. 29.-"George Ehle,
an American engineer, with a party
of young college graduates in four
months has made discoveries about
the Panama canal which the French
engineers failed to make in fifteen
years. His information makes it pos
sible to solve the battling problem of
the Chagres river freshets by diverting
the stream to the Pacific coast. 1t
also releases $40, 100000 for excavat-
ing a sea level waterway"
This announcement of the engineer
ing work thus far done by the United
States Panama canal commission has
been made before the Chicago Press
club by Chief Engineer John Wallace,
who recently returned from 1.-THE
isthmus.
I'm their explorations" said the
chief engineer, Resident Engineer
George Ehle and his college lads en-
dured hardships that it took American
pluck to overcome. They spent four
months in the tropical jungle tracing
the course and source of the Chagres
river, whose spring freshets, some
times forty feet high. SO far have

By the use of data collected by the
Ehle party Mr.. Wallace said that it
would be possible to divert the
Chagres from the Caribbean slope to
the Pacific side of the iSthmus. This
could be done at an approximate cost
of $16,000,000, releasing $20,000,000
of the $36,O00,000 destined for the
construction of locks.

HE WAS EXCITED.
Clue Is Found to the Assault on Peter
Eiel.

The police believe that they have
found a man to fill the position of de-
PENDANT in the Kiel assault case. The
four suspects, three Zoos brothers and
Jacob Heinstein, were taken out to
Keith's hospital last night, and brought
before the injured man one at a time.
When George Zoos was brought in Kiel
became violent, and attempted to get
out of bed. cursing and threatening in
nis own language. Zoos said something
to him in German, which the officers
did not understand, but Kiel turned to
them and said: HE says, how much
do you want for that cut"
Foos denied having said anything of
the kind, and as the officers could not
understand the conversation, there is
no evidence except the word of Kiel
concerning the incident. There is bad
blood between the Kiel and Zoos fam
lilies, who are neighbors, and Zoos says
that Kiel is trying to saddle the crime
upon him on account of personal hate.
George Zoos is being held for the crime,
and the other suspects were released.
Peter KieI was stabbed Monday night
by an unknown man at Kiel's home in
the Bottoms"

you would be identified" said the young
woman cashier at the Auditorium hotel
last night, pushing back through the
window a check that had been offered
her. A small man on the other side of
the window drew himself up and said:
Don't you know him or have you not
heard of Mr.. Shaw?

SPEAKS IN A TENT.
Senator Fairbanks Closes His Tour of
Montana.

Missoula, Mont, Sept. 29.-With a
stop OF an hour at this point Senator
Fairbanks concluded his four days
speaking tour of the state of Montana.
His special train arrived at $3.50 a. m,
and was met at the railroad station
by a committee of prominent citizens
and escorted to an immense tent near
the depot by the Young Mems Repub-
ncan club and a brass band. The tent
in which the meeting is held is used
as ii theater and the orators spoke
from a platform used by the troupe.
The early hour at which the meet
ing was held did not have the effect
of preventing a large attendance or of
diminishing the ardor of those who
were there The meeting was thor
oughly appreciative and there were
cheers of greeting as Senators Fair
banks and DOlliver were taken to the
meeting place. This being the resi-
dence of Congress Dixon, he presided
at the meeting. Senator Fairbanks
made an argument for the retention of
the Republican party in power, saying
that it had shown it's capacity by the
record already made and urging that
its record in the past is the best guar
antee for the future He commended
that all its policy had been domon-
strated to the interest of all classes of
our people. hence the unwisdom of a
change. which could but lead to ex-
pertinent along the lines that had al
ready proved disastrous
While he was speaking a nearby To-
connective persisted in blowing of
steam. Whereupon Mr. Fairbanks said

capable of making a great deal of
noise but of doing little else"
When the party left here it was still

west, but the schedule called for no

A Scarecrow.

Theodore Roosevelt, jr., has been
visiting in Connecticut the family Of
E. S. Martin.
Mr.. Roosevelt was walking one af-
ternoon when he observed a farmer
making a scarecrow's toilet.
The scarecrow stood in the middle
of a strawberry bed, and the farmer
was tying a piece of rope about its
waist. This done, he changed the an
gle of it's hat little. Then he tucked
in the straw that protruded from one
boot. Finally he placed its hand on
it's hip, cooking the elbow jauntily.
Mr.. Roosevelt chuckled.

OSBORN STRIKES n SNAG.
Wanted to Increase the Garbage
Prices in Topeka

Nothing was done at the joint meet
ing of the board of health and the
health and sanitation committee last
night respecting the city dump matter.
This announcement has been made so
often that il might be a good scheme to
leave ii standing in type ready for the
next meeting
w L. Osborn. the city desiccating
plant man. made his proposition to
build a new crematory to take care of
all dead animals and garbage, but ne
specified that the rates must be in
creased from 40 cents a barrel for night
soil TO 80 cents barrel This was an
unexpected pleasure. and the joint COM
Inittee decided to wait and talk it over
with Mr.. Osborn Mr. Osborn went to
CoffeyviIle Wednesday afternoon and
hence was not present at the meeting.
The present temper of the council on
the matter is not likely to stand for n
raise in the price for handling night
soil Property owners claim that they
are already paying twice as much as
the work is worth, and they are not
likely to endorse any increase in the
price.
Sanitary Sergeant Pay was instructed
last night to notify the owners of hog
pens near the old crematory on the
Oakland road to move their hogs to
some place where they will not cOnsti-
tute a nuisance. These pens are out

Zion for FIVE miles outside its limits for
sanitary purposes.
