MAYOR WON'T APPOINT.
Mr.. 8ergundthal viii Leave Water
Commission to His Successor.

One of the duties which will devolve
upon the next mayor of the city of
Topeka will be the appointment of the
board of trustees who will have the man
Sgement and control of the water works
property. the transfer of which will be
made to the city on the first OF April.
Mayor Bergundthal stated this noon
that he would not appoint the board, but
viii leave that privilege to his sue
cessor in office, whoever that may be.
Mayor Bergundthal said: NO, I don't
think it would be right for me to appoint
the members of the board That is some
thing which I will leave to my successor.
could not conscientiously appoint a board
Just at the last day of my term. 1 might
appoint board which would not be in
harmony with the next mayor and thus be
tween the chief executive Of the CITY and
those in charge of the property for the
city. I believe that the successful candi-
date for mayor Should be allowed to pick
a board which will suit him and with
which he will work in harmonious rela-
uonship. The only thing that I shall try
pletion of the transfer of the property of
the company to the city. 1 shall try to
nave everything arranged as to detail so
the first of April. Not before that time,
because there is no reason for haste, and
the quarter ends with that date A trans
fer at the end of the first quarter of the
year will mean simplification of transfer.
l am not in favor of Il transfer previous
to that date
At the adjourned meeting of the coun-
Gil this evening the ordinance which pro-
vides for the character of control and de-
tail of management of the water works
property by the city will be discussed and
acted upon in a final manner. The orCli-
nance was acted upon in part two months
ago. but owing to difficulties in connec-
ton with the title further action upon the
ordinance was deferred. At that time the
major portion of the proposed ordinance
was gone over and but small minor
portion remains to be acted upon. 1t is
very probable therefore that the ordi-
nance can be placed on its final passage
this evening
This will aid largely in effecting the ar
rangement for the transfer Charles F.
Street, the president of the Topeka Wa
ter company, is still engaged in comply
ing with a number of requests made by
the city attorney with reference to secur-
ing a final clearing up of some minor de-
tails of the title. The city attorney will
present his final supplemental report upon
the title this evening to the city council.

SURPRISE SPRUNG
Startling Letter introduced In
Santa Fe Hearing.
Tells of Deal Between Santa Fe
and the ''Katy.''
PIPE LINE CHARGES.
Railroads to Get 10 Cents per
Barrel.
Mr.. HeaIy Successfully Parties
Mr.. MOnnett's Questions.
PIPE LINE CHARGES.

Attorney Frank Monnett sprung a
sensation Thursday afternoon during
the examination of W. J. Healy.
freight auditor of the Santa Fe, whose
deposition is being taken to be used
as evidence in the suits brought
against the Santa Fe railroad and the
Standard OIL company by the state of
Kansas under the antitrust law ask
ing for receivers.
When the hearing was resumed
after the noon recess Mr.. Monnett
produced a letter which had been re-
ceived by him purporting to come
from John Mcdonald, an employe of
the Standard Oil company, at Joplin.
MO. The letter alleged an agreement
between the Standard Oil company
and the Santa Fe and Katy railroads
TO place the rate for the transportation
of crude petroleum at a prohibitive
figure In return the Standard was to
pay to the railroads 10 cents on every
barrel of oil run through the pipe
line.
The following is the text of the
The reason the Santa Fe and Katy
raised rates on oil after the pipe line
was completed was because the Stand
ard arranged with them to do so by
agreeing to give them a percentage on
every barrel of oil that was run
through their pipe lines on condition
the railroads would increase their
freight rates on oil to a prohibitive
through the pipe line. Now the rail-
roads haul no oil. but get about ten
cents a barrel for all oil going through
the pipe line With that arrangement
cinched by the Standard they were
then left where they could reduce the
price of oil to almost nothing, which
they did, and thereby made big money
by paying the railroads for not carry
ing oil. The railroads made money
by it and at the same time put the
Standard in a position to make a for
tune out of it by robbing the pro-
ducers VINO couldn't help themselves
because the railroads would charge the
price of their oil should they attempt
to ship their production. These are
facts
The theory is that the railroads would
still make the same profit without hav-
ing TO perform the service, and the ex-
orbitant freight rates would make it
impossible for any one to ship oil and
compete with the Standard Oil COM
pany- The ten cents paid by the Stand
ard Oil company to the railroads would
be deducted from the price paid by the
Standard Oil company to the producer
for the crude petroleum.
Mr.. MOnnett asked to have the letter
introduced as evidence without submit

TWO GET OUT OF JAIL.
Harry Gregg and John Hicks Unlock
Door and Escape.

While the police were busy playing
checkers and holding a postmortem
Thursday night, Harry Gregg, confined
at the Jail for so days for vagrancy,
and John Hicks in for rs days for car
rying' concealed weapons, opened the
big cage door, with probably skeleton
key handed them from the outside, and
made their escape.
The police did not know anything
about it. until probably half hour
after it occurred. One of the officers
went back to the door and noticed it
open. Three other prisoners were sound
asleep inside but Hicks and Gregg
were gone. Out in the back yard was
found the paddock for the cage.
There will be no particular objection
on the part of the officers if Gregg and
Hicks stay away all the time. Both
have been in the police court frequently.

PINEAPPLE
STOCK DEAL

T. H. Davies G. Co.. Ltd, has acquir-
ed control of the Pearl City Fruit Co.,
Ltd, having, through the Hawaiian
Trust Co, Ltd, purchased 2s5 out OF
the 500 shares of the company's capital
stock.
For some time past the Davies house
has contracted for all of the output of
the Pearl City Fruit Co.'s cannery.
f. w. Jordan, James Lyle, John En-
meluth and some others of the original
stockholders still hold their respective
shares.
The Pearl City Fruit Co. is one of
the few survivors, perhaps the only
one. Of the companies and partnerships
that went into pineapple cultivation on
large scale some years before an
nexation. When its raw fruit ship
ments in the early years had to pay the
heavy United States duty. losses were
scored oftener than profits. Yet sew
eral of the original incorporators stuck
to the enterprise, and, since the adj
vent of free market on the mainland
and the company's requirements OF a
well-equipped cannery. their persever-
ance has been rewarded with a goodly
measure of success.
