THEY GOT LOST.
Men Who Tried to Fill Places of Strik-

New York, Sept. THE mail de-
livery wagons whose operations in the
great business and hotel center be-
tween the Battery and Forty-second
street were interfered with by a strike
of 800 of the New York Mail COM
pany's drivers were in partial opera
ton only today. Wall street, where
mail is delivered by another con-
tractor, was the only portion of the
business center not affected by the
strike. A message from Washington
offering assistance to the New York
company if it should be needed came
early today, but even preceding this
offer there were 400 applicants at the
stables here seeking the positions left
vacant by the striking drivers. Some
of these men, however. were induced
by the strikers to withdraw their ap-
plicationS while others who did go to
work proved to be strangers in the
city and got lost with their wagons
while attempting to drive over the
regular routes
Assistant Postmaster Morgan was
able to make the following statement:
| THE Transfers strike has in no way
interfered with the rapid handling of
first class mail matter. The outgoing
mails were sent. off on time and all
mail matter from the incoming early
morning trains on the TRUNK lines to-
day was brought to the general post
office in automobiles and other
vehicles The morning collections were
made as usual"

Separate Enrolment.

Kansas City. Sept. NEGRO pupils
and white pupils were mixed indiscrin-
inately in the school building of Bonner
Springs, enrolment day. For a time a
physical clash was imminent.
There were 120 negro students and $50
white students. AS Prof. Stotler would
direct the negro pupils to go into the
rooms set apart for them the negro
men and women would cry out different
directions and send the negroes into the
same rooms with the white pupils. Hot
words were exchanged and there came
near being a clash between the white
and negro children.
The members of the. boa e of educa-
ton were sent for and when ]. d. Wa
tiers, one of the members. arrived at the
building he ordered the negro men and
women off the school grounds. The
negro men left the. building, but the
negro women, twenty in number, re-
fused to bulge. Finally the negro NO
men took charge of the negro pupils
and directed them into the rooms oc-
cupied by the whites and placed them
by the side OF the white students. The
negro women became so noisy and
boisterous that the members of the
board of education ordered the enroll
ment postponed until next Monday
morning.

SALIVA JOBBERS HEARD.
They Want Rates Into the City of
Topeka.

The railroad companies have made
application to the state board of rail-
road commissioners for permission to
put into effect the jobbers' rate from
Salina to Topeka. The rate now ex-
tends up to Topeka, but does not en-
able the Salina jobbers to compete in
Topeka against Topeka jobbers.
The railroad commissioners have
held up this application pending an
examination. They suspect that it
may mean that fight between Topeka
and Salina jobbers is about to start,
but on the other hand say that pos
sibly Salina is manufacturing some
commodities which ought to have the
benefit of the low rates to Topeka.
