information for making that kind OF
rate. There is an unkind intimation IN
Mr.. Green's remarks when he speaks OF
champagne suppers. 1t is tanning this
flame of popular rancor against the
company. J don't know whether he is
doing it Intentionally but that is what
it amounts to-
on a vote the ayes for the accept
ance were Councilmen Simms, Grlley,
Holiday, Rice, Sinner, Howe and
SWendson; the noes, COuncilmen Nipps,
Green, Horn. Councilman Hughes alb
sent. The proposition was accepted by
a vote of to 3.
The letter follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
men OF the City of Topeka:
Through the city attorney, the Ed
son Electric Illuminating company to
day officially received copy Of the
resolutions introduced by Mr.. Green
and passed by the city council May %,
1905.
In response to said resolutions the
Edison company wishes to say that it
is now, and has at all times been will
ing to present to the city council It's
evidence to show that the rates al
owed in the proposed franchise are
reasonable and just, and they compare
faVOrably with the rates charged and
in other cities of like pOpula-
must respectfully decline to expose
to its competitors and to the world the
items of its business transactions.
The Edison company believes that it
is the desire of the Topeka city coun-
ell to grant to it privileges equal to
those granted to other companies by
cities having equal population and ad-
vantages, and that the city council
does not desire to place upon the Ed
son company greater burdens than
are placed on similar companies by
such other cities. The Edison com
pany has been and is now willing to
accept from the city of Topeka a fran
chise embOdying such rates and priv
iIeges as are allowed and granted by
such other cities. and containing such
burdens and restrictions as are beirg
imposed by such cities.
For the purpose of determining what
rates. privileges and restrictions are
prevalent. reasona BILE, just and nece5-
sary, the Edison company will, at its
own expense. take a committee Of
three or five cOuucilmen, to be APP
pointed by the mayor, to any city or
cities in the neighboring states of
about equal population, and similarly
situated as to fuel, water supply, etc,
and if the report of said committee is
adverse to the franchise now asked as
to rates, etc, the Edison company will
modify it's application for q franchise
accordingly, or withdraw it altogether.
Respectfully submitted.

MYSTERY AT x. c. UNION DEPOT
L. b. Cook. Former Rock Island
Trainmaster, Suddenly Disappears.

Kansas City. Mo, May PIT. B.
Cook, formerly trainmaster for the
Rock Island at Trenton, No. but
whose home has been at 447 South
Daily street, Los Angeles. Cal. for two
years, suddenly disappeared from his
Wife and son yesterday afternoon at
the union depot and the police have
been unable to find any trace of him.
Mrs. Cook believes he has drowned
himself. He had 1925 and tickets for
himself, wife and son to Trenton in
his pockets. The police are inclined
to the belief of foul play.
Cook was "a years old and had been
in Ill health He was on his way back
from Los Angeles to Trenton. An
endowment insurance policy had ma
tured, and he had to go there to col
lect as he had borrowed money on it.
With his wife and son, Paul, 10 years
old, he arrived at the union depot in
the forenoon and was to have left at
6:35 O'Clock yesterday afternoon over
the Rock Island for Trenton. His
wife saw him wandering around in the
depot about o'clock, but after that
all traces were lost.
'I know he has drowned himself -
said Mrs. Cook last night, as she sat
in the depot matron's office. He
worked twenty-seven years for the
Rock Island at Trenton and went up
the ladder steadily. He was a dis
patcher and later chief dispatcher for
the road and was afterward trainmas-
ter. When the road changed hands
he was discharged, and that nearly
broke his heart. He has talked of
committing suicide. In Los Angeles
he told a woman that life was not
worth living after a man had lost a
good position he had worked hard to
earn, but he added that it took lots of
nerve to end ones life. I am sure he
drowned himself.
Mrs. Cook tells of a man on the
train coming in with them whose ac-
lions led the police to suspect foul
play. According to the woman and
her son this man boarded the train at
FL Paso and began talking in a boast
ing way of his wealth. He told them
he owned a big mine at Bisbee. Ariz.,
and wanted to sell some shares
THAT man wanted me to buy $4,000
worth of mining stock" said Mrs.
Cook HE said if I did, my sons
could earn So a day working at the
mines and Mr.. Cook could work as
bookkeeper and get good pay. He
told of enormous amounts of money
made in the mining business, and
seemed to show much sympthay and
interest in my husbands Illness AS
we came into Armourdale he pointed
out the window to a mill and said his
brother was head miller there and
that he was going to visit him"
The police, when told of this, dis
credited the suicide theory at once and
asked for a description of the man,
and are irving to locate him.
