THEY WANT TO KNOW.
Councilman Impatient About System
of Accounting.

The council desires to hear from
Mayor Davis upon the investigation of
the accounts of the city and the install
Iation of new system of municipal
months back instructed Mayor Davis
to procure estimates from various ac-
countants upon the cost of making an
investigation of the accounts of the
city and the installation of an up-to-
date system of accounting. The bids
were to be reported back to the city
council.
In recent interview the mayor ex-
pressed his intention of not requesting
any further information concerning
bids or estimates, because the cost is
too great Most of the estimates have
run from a. $1,000 up to $4,000 for max
ing the investigation and installing a
municipal system of accounting, such
as is recommended by the government
A number of estimates have been re-
turned from individual accountants in
the city and these have heen more with
in reason.
VIM. Green, councilman from the
Third ward, said today: 1.-The mayor
should make some sort of a report to
the council. If he doesn't intend to go
on with this matter he should say
something to the council of his inten-
tions. I think that the matter is a
very important one. / don't believe in
paying out any large sum for the work,
Dut pSlleNS that 1t is necessary TO
have some sort of change. Here we
have been using a system which is away
out of date and our books are in a. bad
shape. Now there is that $500 which
was stolen from the city treasurer's
office. I understand that it has not
been charged off and that Mr.. Hale has
not had instructions from the city coun-
ell to reimburse the city for that
amount.
''These are some of the things which
need to be Strengthened out I am in
favor of having the work done and
the estimates entered on a, basis of so
much per day. We can then stop the
work at any stage if we see that we
are not getting the results that we
want -

BOOKBINDERS ALSO.
They Wish to Do the City's Work
When Binding Is to Be Done.

The members of the local union of
the International Brotherhood of
BooAbinders believe that the city adj
ministration should consider them in
making any further contracts for city
printing where book binding enters as
a portion of the contract A commit
tee was appointed by the local union
to wait on Mayor w. H. Davis and
The committee appointed consisted of
z. r. Winder and w S. Kicker.
The committee came up to the office
of Mayor Davis and asked him to eff
feet a change in the contract which
was let t6 Stoves and Son for binding
and printing the city's ordinances.
II don't see what can be done, said
the mayor. 1.-The contract was let to
the lowest bidder and that was the
only feature that entered. into the dis
cussion of letting the contract [
didn't know myself whether it was let
to union or nonunion firm. If you
have any suggestions to make Will
be glad to hear them
One of the members of the commit
tee said: mo, we haven't any sug-
gestion to make except that we would
like to have preference shown us
when it is possible to do this. The
union binders of this city have never
secured any work from the city and
we would like to be let into some of
this work. We are working for some
of the largest shops west of st. Louis
Iieve that these shops are a credit to
the town, for that reason we think
that the city should help build them
up and give them their support.
Stoves & Son don't employ anything
but kids. They haven't any bindery.
They have to suitcase the binding and
If they let it to w. N. Tincher we will
have to take away his card from him.
He can't do this work for a nonunion
firm and stay in the union. We don't
want to do this because he has always
been a good member of the union. If
he thinks more of this work than he
does of the union he will have to give
up his card. If not, then the binding
will have to be sent out of town be-
cause there are no nonunion binderies
in the city. It is a hard matter for us
to keep our union out of politics and
we don't like to get into these discus
sions."
81 will remember this if anything
further comes up" said the mayor and
with this the committee was dis
missed.
This will probably finally end the
fight which has been made on Stoves
& Son on this particular city job. It
would have been impossible for the
city to go back on a contract when it
once voted on awarding it to Stoves
& Son

in my behalf They told me that I
ought not to stand for such insinua-
lions. I thought at first of dropping
the matter and paying no attention to
it. But I then submitted it to my at
terneys at Kansas City, and they said
that the article was unquestionably
libelous. They said they would sue
for $4,000 civil damages and also be-
gin criminal proceedings. I'm going
to make the Capital squirm for that
statement. It is an absolute falsehood
from beginning to end, and the Topeka
morning paper had no business to
print it, no matter where the story was
obtained. Umpires Reagan, Owens
and Chic very strenuously deny the
Owens told me that unless I took
action in the matter, he would do so
himself. I am going to push it. The
papers will be filed in Kansas City in
a few days. I will at least show my
friends where I stand in the matter. -
So far as the State Journal has been
able to trace the story, it was brought
White SoX. He made the following
statement to State Journal reporter:
Reagan is a good friend of mine. He
told me that Shiveley said to him that
he should give Topeka the worst of it
every chance he gets. 1 suppose he
said that to some others too" Henry
said this in the presence of w. f.
Logan, secretary of the Topeka base
ball team
When it was printed Henry at once
made denial, saying that it was not
Reagan, but Chic, who had told him
that Shiveley was to give Topeka the
worst of it on every occasion. That
part makes little difference, however,
for it is all of the same material.

Baseball President Will Sue Capital for
False Statements.

DR.. D. NJ. Shiveley, president of the
Western Association of Baseball clubs.
today announced that he would sue
the Topeka Daily Capital for $4,000
civil damages, and also at the same
time enter criminal proceedings. be-
cause the following article was print
ed in the Topeka morning paper on
Sunday, August 81, of this year:
This paper has repeatedly called
attention to the general incompetency
of D. NJ. Shiveley, president of the
Western association. It has always
for the place. If the rumors in circu-
lation are true something more than
incompetency is wrong with Shiveley.
Both Umpires Owens and Reagan
have told Topeka players that they
had instructions from Shiveley to give
the Topeka team the worst of it. Chic,
who resigned yesterday, evidently had
the same tip The general welfare of
the Western association demands a
new president next year"
President Shiveley has secured the
services of William Woods and John
Hale, Kansas City attorneys, who are
now at work on the petitions and will
file them at Kansas City, kas., within

and men We're at work all the morn
ing and were able to prevent any over
flow although raise of five or six
inches would have taken the water
into North Topeka which would have
caused much worse flood than that
of last year, as the creek was at least
three feet higher. That is, the flood
would have been that much higher but
for the cut through the Union Pacific
and Santa Fe entertainments which
will hereafter act as a drain always
providing the river is much lower
than the creek. Fortunately the river
has been comparatively low. No
water was running today even under
the new approach. This allows the
| water from Soldier creek which COW
cred the low lands west of North To-
peka to flow freely into the river. 1t
was doubtless this overflow of the
creek that saved the breaking away of
| the dixie near the head of Van Buren,
street. 1t was made evident that at
| this point one house at least will have
to be moved away and the dixie raised
several feet far UP as the Curtis
| burying ground. The breaking away
| of the creek west of town which saved
North Topeka caused a small flood in
| the low lands of this section At
Shady Nook the A. j. Berry farm on
| the lower Silver Lake road the water,
while not in the house, is several feet
deep in the yard. At the Samuel
Lands place near Kiro the water has
reached a depth of several feet in his
house. The U. P. tracks in this To-
cality are under water from two to
three feet as far as the eye can see.
On the Rochester road the water is
several feet deep and many families
moved out from their places yester-
day. The Wolford family who oc-
cupy the old Short place just south of
the Rochester bridge were compelled
to leave their house at this time as the
water this morning was several feet
deep in the place. The Haynes
/ family, the DeVance family and
the Green family were all obliged
to move out and seek higher
/ ground The reform school is
| surrounded by water and trips to the
school are made over the Rock Island
| tracks Mr.. Charles Nauman who
lives across the creek on the Roches-
ter hill reports that the low grounds
of his place are under water. AL
| though the creeks are SO high north
/ and west there is no apprehension felt
| among the North Topeka people.
