Mr.. MYERS HERE.
Says He Won't Attend the Council
Meeting Tonight

There is liable to be- som ething
happen at the council meeting this
evening. I can't tell just what it may
be, said /. Il. Myers, president Of the
opposing G. E. Maunsell IN his attempt
to get franchise from the council for
the Topeka Electrical company.
Il don't know whether [ will come
up 20 the council meeting or not. I
have an invitation out to dinner this
evening and 1t is proba Bile that 1 won t
be there"
The council adopted resolutions
some time go as a consequence of the
Introduction OF the Moller af11davit by
Mr.. Myers. barring him from the floor
of the council until he would apologize
to that body. Mr.. Myers has not given
any intimation of his intentions to
apologize.
With reference to the Topeka Elec-
trical company franchise he said:
There are some features Of the
situation which afford me eonsidera Bile
amusement, and likewise are hard for
me to understand. For instance, Mr..
Maunseli Is telling his socalled stock
holders and others whom he IS en-
deavornig to interest, that he does not
want them because Of any investment
they might make, but because of their
personality, that all the money to
build the plant IS coming from the
east. Meanwhile. Councilman HoiH-

check up very well.
you viii remember when the Mol
Ter affidavit was first read, Mr. Maun-
sell absolutely denied everything in it
except that he had met Mr.. Mofler-
Later. In a statement which he himself
prepared, he admitted that a large
part of the affidavit was true, but
strenuously and absolutely denied that
he had attempted to sell the franchise,
in fact, his exact words were these. as
the Topeka papers of Monday, June
IL viii shows I can truthful1y say
that the statements imputed to rae by
Moner are absolutely false, and fur
Their, every statement of said Moller
that I made any agreement or offer
to sell the stock or franchise that
might be procured by the Topeka Elee-
trical company for any sum of money,
or any consideration whatever, or that
l made any such offer whatever are
absolutely false How Mr.. Maun
sell will attempt to explain this state
ment with the specimen Of his hand
writing that appeared in the daily pa
pers last week is beyond my under
standing, but I have no doubt he will
do it. He has made so many explana-
tions lately that one more Will not be
in the least embarrassing.
