DUE 10 BUNGLING WORK.
Sections OF New Paving Over Gas COM
pany Excavations Settling.


Sections of the new paving on Kansas
avenue between First and Second streets
have settled due to the excavations made
by the gas company in laying its mains
The pavement wnere- it has settled viii
have to be cut and patched over. Mayor
". H. Davis believes that the patching
can be done without making any show
ing.
The heavy roller used in the paving
when it strikes the portion Of the street
where the gas trenches were dug causes
the settling and thisis 50 prrceptible that
when 1t rains water stands in the places
where the paving has sunk.
The gas company has given bond to
the paving company to protect it for
any settling occasioneds by reason of its
excaya tons and the city holds the paw
ing company in turn.
A large number of property owners
are not satisfied with this however. They
don't care to see the new pavement
patched: it is almost impossible not to
patch the pavement and have it show
up.
The best thing the property owners
can do is to call a mass meeting and in
sist that the gas company repair its ex-
cavations to preclude settling. Tie
manner in which the work has been
done by the gas company is little short
of a public outrage.

BANNER LOAD or CORN.
George Hungate Brings IN a Prize Lot
This Morning.

George Hungatee auctioneer and
farmer, was in town today with a load
of this years corn. Thich he claims for
average size, is as large as any corn
that has been grown in Kansas this
year. And a look at, the corn would
seem to Justify his claims. Every ear
in the load was Of rather unusual size
and good many of them ranged in
length between twelve and fourteen
inches and some of them were longer
The banner ear in this load weighed
just a fraction less than two pounds
and a quarter and had 1924 kernels
on it.
Mr.. Hungate said that all Of the corn
in z ten-acre patch. which he raised,
is just as large as the wagon load he
brought to town today This corn
was raised on the old Farnsworth farm
a mile west of the city limits on the
Gordon street road. and this land
where it was raised was inundated
during the big food of a few years
ago. Wherever Mr.. Hungate stopped
with his load of corn today a crowd
gathered around the wagon, and ex-
pressions heard on all sides was that
the corn averaged the largest in size
of any that has been seen in Topeka
in years.

San Francisco Hotel Accommodations
Are insufficient.

san Francisco. Sept. 2O.-A serious
situation faces the city in the lack of
hotel aecomm odations. Last night in
eight of the largest hotels not a room
was vacant and people were sleeping
on cots in the halls
Westbound travel has been excep-
tionally heavy of late and people are
f1oeking to the city from all over the
country. The hotels have been be-
sieged with kilograms asking to re-
serve accommo dations.
At present no solution of the prob
lem Of housing the travellers appears.
Several hotels have been planned. but
their completion is so far in the future
that they can not be counted on to
help to relieve the press of travel.

Minneapolis. Mimi. Sept. 2O.-The
football men of the University of Min

season yesterday. The enthusiasts
were delighted to see Larkin, the quar-
terback, in uniform. There had been
considera BILE question as to whethe r or
not he was to return to college, and
he was greatly needed behind the line.
Schuknecha, substitute halfback and
promising candidate, also put in an
appearance. This makes the prospect
for a fast back field much better than
had been expected.

FIGHT ON SUGAR.
Importers Oppose Section of Bill
Passed by the House.

Washington, Jan. 20.=Henry w.
Peabody, a commission merchant Of
Boston; Thomas S. Hopkins, an attor-
ney of this city, and Charles E. Pal
mer, of the International Banking
corporation of New York, were heard
today by the senate committee on the
Philippines in opposition to that sec
ton of the Philippine tariff bill as it
was passed by the house, that pro-
vides that the proposed reduction of
the tariff on sugar from the Philip
pines from z 8 to Is per cent Of the
Dingley rates shall not apply to sugars
in bond at the time the bill becomes a
law.
The witnesses reported to the COM
mittee that the firm of Smith, Bell &
Co, which is the largest dealer in
Philippine products, had now in bond
nearly 10000 tons of sugar to which
that prohibition would apply. The
witnesses declared that the company
would be compelled to go undelivered
| if the proposed bill was passed. Sena-
! tor Nelands (Nev.), who accompanied
+ Secretary of War Taft in his recent
/ trip to the Philippines, then made a
statement in opposition to the passage
of the bill.
It is expected the hearings on the
| Philippine tariff bill viii continue for
1 two weeks.

LittIefield Illustrated Progress

Washington. Jan. 2O.-The cry of graft
raised in the house of representatives
this afternoon caused the defeat of an
amendment to the urgent deficiency bill
appropriating $4,000 to supply an ex-
peeted deficiency in the fund used for
the payment of transportation charges
on silver from the subtreasury to trade
centers.
The amendment was proposed by
General Keifer CRep. o., and was OPP

The annual appropriation to pay the
transportation to and from trade cen
ters from subtreasuries amounts to
s120, 900 and has been made since 1881.
Mr.. Hill raised a point of order against
it, He lost. He then charged that the
appropriation was a species of graft for
the express companies. Mr. Smith join
ed him in the declaration that it was no
longer necessary for the federal gov
eminent to continue the appropriation
and that if the transportation of silver
was not made so profitable the coin
would remain in circule ton longer.
Mr.. Tawney, in charge of the bill, ex-
pressed surprise that the representa-
tives of the express companies were
the first to learn that the committee on
appropriations had refused, to insert this

amendment in the bill He said that
early in the morning following the COM
mittee's action, representatives of the
express companies personally urged
upon members the necessity for the
appropriation.
General Keifer sarcastically remark
ed that any kind of measure could be
defeated when the cry of graft was
raised against it. He said he could not
understand the consistency of those

proved it. The amendment was car
