CAN'T USE TOPEKA BRICK.
Street Commissioner Says They Won't
Stand Wear and Tear"

That Kansas avenue can be paved
with brick without disturbing the grade
of the present cutters or the grade of
the street car tracks, is the con-
tenion of Street Commissioner Ramsey.
City Engineer McCabe holds that it
cannot be done without materially all
tering the grade of the cutters.
Ramsey also claims that Topeka
vitrified brick will not stand the wear
and tear to which Kansas avenue paw
ing is subjected and that either Pitts
burg or Lawrence brick will have to
be used.
II am willing to take contracts for
paving Kansas avenue with brick, "
said Ramsey, but. I wouldn't want to
nut up any five year guarantee and
use Topeka brick. Pittsburg or Law

Mrs. Romaines health is impaired

has been working in Topeka before
and since her husbands arrest. The

Lyon County,s Formulation.

Emporia, June 23.-COunty clerk
Eggers has obtained the totals on the
returns of the township and city asses
sors of the county and found that the
population of the entire county this
year is 25, 23O The 1904 enumeration
was 1886, showing that Lyon county
has lost 636 people in the past year.
The general cause for this decrease is
the@fiood of last year, which, coming as
it did, in the wake Of the floods of the
two previous years. left a great many
of the farmers without enough to tide
them over for another years farming
in Lyon county.

CITIZENS WILL
GET A HEARING
Transfer Question to Come
Up on It's Merits.
HENDERSON is OPTIMISTIC
He Believes That Act of 1894 Will Be
Upheld and Prove Citizens
Contention.
HENDERSON is OPTIMISTIC

The contention of the citizens that
they have a right to be heard On the
question: Of transfers or no transfers
from the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company lines to the City and SUI
burban line has been upheld by ycster-
days order of Judge Anderson said
William G. Henderson. president of the
North Capitol and lexington Citizens
Association, to Times reporter today.
Mr.. Henderson is one OF the petitioners
who were yesterday permitted 10 inter
vene and become party to the suit in
which the transfer controversy is pend
ing.
There is unlimited satisfaction
among the citizens affected by the de-
cls1on of the case. For the first time
the question will be argued on its
merits, when the hearing is had Tues
day. Yesterdays action of the court
again suspe1ding the order abolishing
transfers until after counsel for the
citizens are heard, proves conclusively
that our point was well taken. Until our
petition was filed the courts attention
had not been called to any law requir-
ing reciprocal transfers between COM
panies whose lines connect
Trusts in Act of 1894.
THE order prohibiting transfers after
Jane 1 was issued because neither coun-
sci for the minority stockholders of the
City and Suburban nor counsel for
President McDermott, the receiver. in
formed the court of the act of 1894, on
which we base our contention.
II understand that counsel for the
minority stockholders now assert that
they do not wish to abolish the free
transfer, but that the stockholders de-
mand fair share of the receipts for ev-
cry transfer issued by other lines to
the City and Suburban line. 1t is
stated that the latter lire does not re-
ceive any compensation for transfers
accepted. With all three parties in
court the court could require an equit-
able accounting of these receipts or
could merely require the continuance
of the present transfer system and
leave an equitable settlement of re-
ceipts to the companies concerned
