not unbearable. The wind died with
the glow In the west, leaving the air
so still that, to the watchers among

HAVEN'T GIVEN UP.
Board of Control Still Expects to Use
Prison-M Made Brick.

The use of prison-made brick is
specified in the advertisement for plds
on the construction of two cottages
for the Topeka State hospital. which
were published today by the state
board of control. This shows clearly
insist upon it's contention that the
panitentiary officials must furnish
brick for state buildings. instead of
brick for Vint Stillings' road at Leav-
enworth.
The contracts for the two cottages
will be let on September 8, at 2
O'Clock, and the bids will be submitted
on the basis of brick furnished by the
state.
f. B. Schermerhorn, chairman of
the board of control, said today in
speaking of the contention which has
arisen over the brick: I'm practically
all of the buildings for state charitable
institutions for which brick is needed,
the specifications have called for pris-
on-made brick and the contracts have
been let on that basis. If the state
cannot furnish this brick, I don't
know whether 1t will be possible to
erect the buildings as contemplated.
The expectation that the state should
furnish this brick was not only the
theory adopted by the legislature in
making the appropriations, but has
been the theory of the state architect
in preparing the plans and specifica-
tions. 1t is impossible to do the work
contemplated without prison brick y
1t was also announced by the board
of control today that on September 8
bids will be opened for supplying the
state with not less than 5000 globes
for incandescent lights. On August
%, bids will be opened for two tubu-
lar boilers for the school for the deaf
at Olathe.

to a greater extent than the proprie-
tors from the sale of beer and LIQUOR
which have been made within the real
letter of the law but way and beyond
its spirit.
One druggist went so far as to con-
fess that during the month of July, "a
per cent of his entire receipts came
from his traffic in liquors and these
amounted to over 81 400. His prescrip-
ton business reached the total of $3.50
during the month.
1t is certain from the evidence which
has been obtained so far that a num-
Der of wholesalers" will either quit
the business or be arrested and event
ually sent to Jail. 1t is also just as GER
tain that Mr.. Sche1ck will begin pro-
ceedings for the revocation of some of
the permits held by certain druggists,
although this number will not be large.
But the most certain thing of all is
that the mere moral effect of this in
curry even if the county officials do
not land the men they are after, will
make Topeka "drier" than it ever has
been. Sahara would be a lake if COM
pared with it

JOINT DRUG STORE
One Sold $3.50 Drugs and
81, 400 Worth of Liquor.
This Was the Business for One
Month.
INQUIRY is STILL ON.
Interesting Revelations in the
Druggists InquisitiOn.
Former Jointists Own Large
Interests in Drug Stores.

That secret inquisition which was
started yesterday by j. ]. Schenck, the
county attorney, and J. NJ. Wilkerson,
the sheriff in the probate court, for the
purpose of inquiring into the methods of
| the trafficking in liquors by the drug
gists of the city who hold permits to do
| the same but within the provisions of
the law, was continued without abate-
ment today.
w. F. Kuntz, whose examination was
started yesterday afternoon was contin-
ued this morning by the inquisitors and
when it was concluded Fred T. Walker
was the next druggist to be examined.
AT the conclusion of his examination the
inquisitfon rested until this afternoon.
That the inquiry is bearing fruit in the
way furnishing the county officials with
evidence to bring to bar the wholesale
ilquor dealers doing business in the city
IN contraVention of the law there is lit
tie doubt. This was the primary object
or the unusual inquiry and although it's
proceedings are clothed in real black
garments of secrecy, it is evident to
anyone who asks a question of Mr.
Schenck or Mr.. Wilkerson about what
they are learning, even though they re-
fuse to make a definite reply. that they
are more than pleased with the results
which have been obtained so far
facts about the drug store business in
the city as 1t relates to the handling
of liquors and at that only eight or ten
druggists have been examined so far.
One of the peculiar features of the in
quiry is that none of the druggists ex-
amined, with one or two possible excep-
tions, have tried to bubble over the
questions that have been put to them.
The questions have been answered,
generally, with apparent honesty
1t has developed from the testimony
of those examined that the whole
salers" see prison bars and few other
uncomfortable things before them.
These wholesalers" have gone around
to druggists since they learned that the
inquiry was to be started and asked
them to destroy their bills of sale, re-
turned checks ard any other matter
which might inplicate them in the
Illicit sale of liquors. All of this has
been told to Mr.. Schenck and the sheC-
iff by the druggists themselves.
Evidence has been obtained which
leads the inquisitors to believe beyond
peradventure that some of these
wholesalers and men who used to
be looked upon as 'jointists'' before
Mr.. Schenck and Mr.. Wilkerson drove
them out of the business have contron-

1 myself have elevated the elevators
in seven different skyscrapers without
even being introduced to the owners
thereof, and without being consulted

things must be different. The elevator

to the owners house to dinner, and is

Public Interest.


This is to announce to the public in
general, and to owners of buildings in
particular. that we, the elevator BOYS
or America, have formed an associa-
ton for the maintenance of a better
understanding between ourselves and
our employers. A meeting has been
held, an organization perfected, and
from now on it is expected that har-
mony Will prevail in the land. One of
the objects of this association is to
bring owners of buildings containing
elevators and elevator boys closer to-
gether. Heretofore owners have paid
little or no attention to our class. If
boy could run an elevator he was
showed into the cage and told to go
aEead. Seldom or never has he been
&C nsulted as to proposed changes in
the building. Owners have started for
Europe without asking what he
thought of the trip, and have returned
after three months without so much
as giving him bow of recognition.
