SAYS CITY is BEING HELD UP.
C. I'll. Sharp. Allen Contractor, Wants
Square Deal.

c. H. Sharp, a~stone dealer from AL
len, Kan, has written to S. A. Swend-
son, chairman of the streets and walks
committee presenting a grievance. Sharp
claims that the city is being held up on
the price of its curbing in the paving
contracts. The petitioners asking for
paving settle the character of curbing
by specifying in their petition the kind
to be used. Webster and TulIoch have
secured about 80 per cent of these con-
tracts for curbing at so cents per lineal
foot. They handle the Fort Scott blue
sandstone.
Sharp wants the contracts left open
so that any CURLING may be specified.
Fred Webster of Webster & Tulloch
said: Let him some in and mix in with
the people if he wants some of these
contracts" City Engineer McCabe says
that the Lyon county stone is good stone
but that very little of it has been used
here.
Sharp's letter which will be consider
ed at the council meeting follows:
Chairman Streets and Walks Commit
tee, Topeka, Kan.
Dear Sir:-Do you wish to save the
people of your city 800 to $50 block
| on every block of curbing put in in your
| city. and get $500 a block better stone?
| Difference, City Engineer McCabe). You
| can do so by making all petitions open
| or specifying natural stone curbing to
| be accepted by the city engineer.
I propose to furnish your city or any
| contractor Allen stone, or the curbing
| stone known as Lyon county curb stone.
| The present system to be used shuts out
| Allen stone and competition of other
stone curbing. Lyon county stone curb
| ing can be set in your city for from 81
| to 40 cents per lineal foot. Your city
pays so cents for inferior stone. If your
| council will specify natural stone curb
| ing to be accepted by your city engi-
neer 1 will see to it that you get bid
| far below so cents a foot for Lyon coun-
| ty stone curbing, and all will have an
| equal chance.
| The old way, the petition costs from
| five to eight cents lineal foot. depend
| ing altogether on how many have to be
given their curbing to get them to sign
| the petition. This has been the custom,
| I am told by good authority.
No one can take the risk of the cost
| of this petition on Allen stone, as no one
| can get a monopoly on stone here, there
being a hundred places to quarry it.
Whoever pays for this petition has to
| add it to the cost of the curbing, and as
| you see, any other contractor can bid
| on Allen stone curbing, come here and
| get the stone and save the cost of the
| petition, leaving the one who worked it
| out in the cold
(Signed) G. d. SHARP.

Senator Fftzpatriclx's Comment.

Sedan, Kan, July 10.-In response
to an inquiry here. Senator w. S. Fitz-
patrick said that the oil refinery de-
cision would have no effect whatever
on the Gulf pipe line movement nor
upon the Santa Fee custer suit. He is
afraid the decision will be discouraging
to the oil men in fighting the Standard
Oil company. He said that the re-
f1nery would have officially shown the
world at large that Kansas oil, under
80 degrees, which makes more than
4S per cent Illuminating oil and gaso-
line. is worth vastly more than the %
cents a barrel which the Standard Of
fers to pay for it. He said further
that if the constitution of Kansas is
not big enough and broad enough to
enable the legislature to protect the
property rights of it's citizens, then it
is time to fix the constitution.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 10.-There were
tears and protestations galore in this
city, but young Pittsburg went to bed
early just the same. For the first
time in so years "curfew'' tolled and
the indignant youngsters went indoors.
but not until the policemen on the
beat had in many cases been given a
busy time. There are two curfews in
Pittsburg. The first one was rung at
8:15. when the city hall clock doomed
out its warning to all girls under age
and without guardian to get under
was rung at 9:45 and warned the small
boy to his home. The curfew law of
years ago has been revived in Pitts
burg by Buck Wallace, chief of
police, who says no girl under age has
business on the street alone or unpro-
tected after Sis, and that at 10
o'clock all boys should be indoors.

DETAILS OF ELLIOTT CASE.
All Arranged and Trial Will Be Held
in November.

All the preliminaries for the trial
of the Elliott disbarment case from
Wellington have been completed by
the supreme court
The motion made by the attorneys
for Elliott that the prosecuting wit
ness be compelled to give security for
costs was overruled. The application
that the court appoint counsel for the
prosecution was denied. 1t was ruled
that the answer to the supplemental
accusation shall be heard August 1;
that the evidence for the prosecution
shall be taken before September 1, the
evidence for the respondent before
October 1, the abstract and brief of the
prosecution filed before October Is,
and the abstract and brief of the re-
spondent filed before November 1.
The court will then take up the
hearing of the case at the November
term of court. Tt is evident from the
above rulings that the supreme court
has decided to sift aut the long stand
ing wellington row and get things into
such shape that the attorneys down
there will stop cutting each others
threats.
