new STREET LIGHTS.
Enclosed Arc VIII Be Substituted for
the Old Style.

The old open type of arc light which
the city is at present using will be
done away with and the enclosed tyne
substituted if the city council adopts
the recommendation of the WAYS and
means committee. The committee yo-
ted last night to accept the offer from
the Warner Electric company Of Nun
Gle, Ind, for the purchase of 342 new
lamps at a cost of $4,000.
The present open arc light system is
antequated and the several cities where
it is still in operation are rapidly re-
placing them with the new type of
lamp. The enclosed arc enits its rays
more on a straight line instead Of con-
centrating and shedding its light in a
central space Immediately below it.
self
William f. Warner, president of the
company making the offer of the sale OF
its lamps to the city, was present at
the committee meeting last evening and
reviewed the good points of his lamp.
Mr. Warner was formerly Superintend-
ent of the electric light plant at Muncie,
Ind. His firm is one of the newest in
the field and is not in the trust There
are a number of types of enclosed arc
light lamps on the market but the ma
Jority Of them are controlled by the
General Electric company or its afhlia-
ted companies.
induced the committee last night to
vote in favor of accepting the offer pro-
posed 1t is claimed that the lamp will
make a saving to the city of $4,000 a
year. The great item Of saving comes
in the employ of less labor at the cleo
trio light plant At the present time
the city is employing five trimmers to
make the rounds of the lamps; in the
enclosed type it is claimed the services
of but one man will be required. The
trimners are paid $3.50 per month and
accordingly the city can retrench to the
extent of $3.50 per month. Furthermore
it is stated that a saving of 81 200 a
year can be effected in the additional
item of carbons. MI Warner made two
offers one of 81 500 cash or $500 for
deferred payments the purchase price
to be paid in 16 monthly inStalInents of
1926 apiece each Mr.. Warner and Sup
erintendent Goodrich of the electric
light plant both were confident that the
lamps would provide a monthly saving
of 1926 and that they could be purchas-
ed practically from the savings made.
The council committee, however, decid-
ed it would be wiser to pay the pur-
chase price outright and thus save the
city $500.
Mr.. Warner submitted his offer in
writing but as he had no guarantee
clause to back up his statements the
city attorney advised that some such
provision be inserted. Accordingly a
clause was inserted guaranteeing that
the lamps would burn 80 hours without
trimming The present amperage in
use at the plant is 90 but to secure the
best results this will have to be feduc-
ed to Sc. This will at the same time
give a better light and make it possible
to use the lamps for 100 hours without
trimming.
A man will be sent by the company
to install the lamps and later when the
city decides to make the change in the
plant necessary to secure the lower
amperage an expert viii be sent here
by the Warner company to superintend
the change

This was the statement made this
morning by George Neil, one Of the
heaviest shareholders in the concern.
s'NO. I am confident that the removal
will not be made" he continued. The
site which was purchased in Kansas
City for the erection of the mill there
has increased in value very decidedly.
I understand that the Hershberger-
McAfee company can now get SO. coo
more for it than the price which they
paid only a short time ago. Some firm
there wants it very badly and I IN
derstand that Mr.. Hersh berger and
Mr.. McAfee have decided to sell it and
leave the Topeka mill where it is now,
here in Topeka.
"Have any parts of the mill, or the
books been removed to Kansas Eitys?'

No he replied, nothing at all has
yet been moved down there and I am
sure that nothing VIII be"
What was the reason for the ask
ing Of a receiver to be appointed by
the court against the Hershberger-
NcAfee company at Kansas City?''
THAT was caused by a little excite
ment," said Mr. Neil, that was all.
Some of the stockholders thought that
Mr.. Hershberger and Mr.. McAfee were
spending company money before the
concern was incorporated. They be-
came a little Hurried and lost their
heads and Immediately went to court
about it. I had a long conference
with Mr.. NcAfee over the telephone
last night and he told me that every
thing was all right. The whole mat
ter is straightened up now and I
think that Topeka viii keeps it WOODEN

TOO BAD FOR THE JANIToRs.
Don't Know Whether to Pay Bills or
Resign Their Jobs.

The state house janitors feel that
very shabby trick is being played upon
them.
A few days ago the executive coun-
ell decided that it would be advisable
for certain janitors to pay their bills
It was even determined that man
who didn't pay up would lose his job.
This was intended to catch three or
four fellows who are deeply in debt
to certain Topeka merchants
Now it also happens that the last
session of the legislature cut down the
number of janitors to be employed
about the state house. On July i, six
of the present force are slated to go.
No one knows who the six victims are

with doubts as to whether It is worth
while to pay up. They have a lurking
suspicion that they are. to be canned

ing off their creditors a while longer.
they can save just that much money.
IT is a very perplexing situation for
the janitors and they might appreciate
a little legal advice on the subject.

THAT AWFUL BROWN CASE.
Kansas City Family Row Once More
in Supreme Court.

hTe supreme court yesterday listen
ed to a rehearsal of the well worn case
of Brown versus Brown. This is one
of the most bitter family rows which
has ever been aired in the supreme
court. It comes from Kansas City,
Kan. The Browns were divorced
some time ago. and some of the chill
dren were given into the custody of
Mrs. Brown. The husband is now
making an effort to have the children
in Mrs. Browns possession placed in
his care, on the ground that Mrs.
Brown is leading an improper life. He
charges that she is passing herself off
as the wife OF Fred Bendure, a former
boarder at the Brown home.
Some months ago the supreme court
made an order giving to Mrs. Brown
the custody of the child, but providing
that the child might visit its father on
the 10th and 25th of each month.
