THE TOPEKA CLUB WOMAN.

A meeting of the executive board Of
the city federation will be called by the
president, Mrs. Clement Smith, late IN
September to plan for the October
meeting of the federation, Thursday,
the 4th. which marks the formal open
ing Of the local club season. A few OF
the Topeka clubs will begin their meet
ings the last of September but the ma
jority have their first session after the
summer vacation, in October.
The programme committee of the
Good Government club met yesterday
with Mrs. A H. Horton The new
wear books will be issued shortly and
the first meeting after the summer va
cation will be held the third Saturday
in September.
The West Side Forestry club which
is always as busy as a gas meter with
one scheme or another. has new plan
suggested by Mrs. Walter l. Bates at
the August meeting with Mrs. Henry
W. McAfee Thursday afternoon. The
club has some money and Mrs. Bates
suggested that It invest in a complete
and modern equipment for spraying
trees apd plants, hire a competent man
and take orders for the work. The
plan was not formally adopted but 1t
was received with enthusiasm and will
bership Will be divided into twelve
committees to take charge Of the
spraying plant and solicit orders
one month each For a nominal sum
they will agree to take charge of a
tree for a patron throughout the sea-
son. It is thought the plan will earn
little money for the club treasury and
it will be right in line with the club
work. The sum earned will probably
be devoted to some permanent i'm
provement for Willow park.
The river front site for the. Semfcen-
tennial exposition in 1911 which has
been suggested was endorsed by the
club which is taking a great deal OF
/ interest in the plans for the expo
sition and will offer its services to the
committee to promote the work OF
preparation IN any way possible
Some of the husbands of the clut
! members were present at the meeting
Thursday Mr.. A. Reinsch of Cages
park brought with him a lily pad
produced at the lake, which was al
diameter. The lily plant, the Victoria
] Regina, is an annual, raised from thi
seed and natures in about six weeks
/ The seeds cost fifty cents each. The
four feet diameter pads are by NJ
means the largest produced by thii
| lily; in fact, Mr.. Reinsch assured thu
! company in talking about the plant
that the leaf he had with him was ons
of the smallest and was chosen becaus,
the others were too large to carry II
perfect condition.

TiIIman'. Resolution Passes.

Washington, March 28.-Wneni the
senate met today the resolution pre-
sented yesterday by Tillman, calling
upon the interstate commerce commits
sion for information relative to free
transportation, including tickets issued
to newspapers in pay for advertising,
was passed without opposition.
The railroad rate bill was then taken
up by Knox, who presented his views.
Knox said that he agreed with the
senator's who have contended that the
power to fix railroad tolls for transpor-
tation is legislative power, that when
the legislature has laid down rule
for the establishment of rates, the ap-
plication of such rule to specific cases
is a matter of administration which
may be delegated to commission;
that the power to investigate the
reasonableness of the proposed rate,
and to fix rate for future observance,
is nonjudicial power which cannot be
conferred upon the courts exercising
judicial power of the United States.

ARBITRATION is SUGGESTED.
One Coal Operator is Willing to Settle
Differences That Way.

Differences INdt way
indianapolis, March 2S.-When the
Joint scale committee Of the bituminous
coal operators of Illinois, Ohio Indiana
and western Pennsylvania reported
disagreement to the joint conference OF
the central competitive district today,
Phil Penna, OF the Indiana operators.
suggested that the differences over
which the miners and operators are
deadlocked might possibly be adjusted
by arbitration. thereby avoiding
strike.
Mr.. Penna said the American people
would not permit a great strike on
such paltry difference as 5.55 per cent
in wages.
"The coal operators for whom I am
talking said Mr.. Penna, have done
business in joint scale conventions for
twenty consecutive years. They have
favored peace at all times and favor
peace now with honor. Rather than
resort to an Industrial strike as far as
Indiana is concerned. we may have
other things to suggest and we hope
there may be other things available to
prevent any such thing. do not know
what might be done or how we may
avoid this industrial conflict unless.
perhaps, when we cannot agree the
people would interfere. or it might be
the American people thru the president,
as has been done before.
"I do not know of any good reason
why we could not avert a calamity by
some such means at this time or in the
near future

Johnstown, Pa, March 2S. - For
three hours early today, Johnstown's
business section was threatened with
destruction by fire, which was only
brought under control after it had
burned itself practically out, and caus-
ed loss estimated at $500,OO0 and
the death of Fireman William Camp
bell, who was. caught under a falling
wall. Among the heaviest losers
are: Swank Hardware Company,
Fisher & Company, wholesale liquors;
Henderson Furniture Company, Bern
ard-Nees Hardware Company, and
Johnstown Daily News Publishing
Company.
Johnstown, March 2s.-Fire broke
out in five-s story brick building at the
corner of Main and Bedford streets,
occupied by the Swank Hardware Com
pany. The flames quickly spread thru
that building. Every available fireman
and every piece of fire fighting appar-
atus was quickly on the scene, but de-
spite the firemen's efforts, the fire was
soon beyond control. The flames spread
to adjoining buildings with great ra-
pidity, and five large businessi stores
and one residence were burned The
firemen were seriously handicapped by
the inadequate equipment and con-
Stantly bursting hose
