cAMPAIGNERS RETURN
FROM PLAINVlEW TRIP.

Guy H Herbert, Elder C. c. Hill
and c. L. Ballard, three of the popular
candidates on the Democratic ticket,
returned last night in R. F. Cruise S
auto from a trip to Plainview, where
they conducted a rousing meeting on
Thursday night. A great crowd was
in attendance and the Democrats full
of enthusiasm. There is a big in
crease in the vote of the Plains this
year and the voters are practically
all Democrats. The candidates report
an interesting trip. This is the first
time an automobile ever traversed
the sands between here and Plain
view and it was not all smooth sail
ing.

TURKEY AND BULGARIA
PRACTICALLY AT WAR

Paris, Oct. 17.-France has just re-
ceived official confirmation of the re-
ports of mobilization by Turkey of
the Anatolian army corps. This is re-
garded in official circles as the Turk
ish answer to Bulgaria's refusal to
accept compensation for the Oriental
railroad, and is believed to make
war practically inevitable. 1t is eX-
pected that Bulgaria will immediate
ly push troops to the Turkish from

SHORT OF VOTES.
Sunday Opening Advocates Have
Little Chance.
Can Not Muster Enough Support
to Win.
EXPECT LIVELY TIME.
Both Sides Will Be Represented
at Tonight's Meeting.
Little Likelihood for Repeal of
Dog Ordinance.
LIVELY TIME.

Unless the Sunday theater support
ers can muster more votes among the
council this evening than they could
this morning their efforts to repeal the
ordinance making it unlawful to keep
the playhouses open on Sunday will
be fruitIess.
This is the way the council stood at
IL o'clock today:
For a repeal: Councilmen Horn,
Lannan, Miller, Fraser and Hughes
Against a repeal: Councilmen Jordan
Van Ness. Howard, Blakely, Stanley,
Kutz and Tandy.
All three of the Democratic members
of the council are lined up back of the
movement to ask for repeal on the
grounds that the enforcement of the
law is a discrimination against the
theater as long as street cars, livery
stables, drug stores, confectionery and
cigar stands are permitted to operate
unhindered. The same opinion is
shared by their two Republican col
leagues. Its my opinion that the
council has tackled a larger PROPOSE
ton than it had any idea OF when 1t
started in on this said Councilman
Hughes.
This is the way the ordinance at
present stands

MINERS MAY UNITE
Effort to Amalgamate the Two Big
Organizations.

Denver. Colo, July 13.-The opening
session of the 18th convention of the
Western Federation Of Miners today
was devoted to the appointment Of a
committee on credentials and two
short addresses, one by George HALEY.
president Of the Colorado State Fed
Grafton of Labor and the other by W.
A. Burns, member of the Miners
union at Virginia. New. Both men de-
clared that the two organizations
should work more in harmony IL not
together.
1t is stated by those in authority
that the two addresses were but the
beginning Of an open movement, the
ultimate object Of which is amalgama-
ton. 1t was also said that President
Thomas Lewis of the United Mine
Workers of America is on his way to
Denver, and will appear before the
convention either Wednesday or Thurs
day and that an unofficial conference
will result with view of amalgamat-
ing the coal and meraliferous miners.
Already there is an interchange of
cards. Should such union be effect
ed the negotiation will probably be

the coal department and the Western

President Meyer will deliver his an
nual address after the permanent or
ganization has been effected.
The credentials committee will rec
ommend that William d. Haywood,

given seat in the convention with
complete delegate authority, though he
is not a delegate or in office.

At the Air Dome.

two weeks engagement will be begun
at the Air Dome tonight by the Jack EN-
erson Stock company, during which a rep
ertoire of high plays will be presented.
This company has the reputation of being
one of the very best organizations Of its
kind that is playing this summer and is
said to be far and away ahead OF some Of
the companies which have been seen at
the Air Dome recently.
Sherman's well known drama, IAN
American Prince will be the opening
bill This is a show which has not been
seen in Topeka before, but it Is well
known and popular throughout the east,
where it has enjoyed an unusual success.
Among the well known players In the
Emerson company are Nellie Thomas,
Violet LeClear Emerson, Frank Redner,
Jack Emerson. Harry Billings and Jo-
seph Peters. The company is particularly
strong in vaudeville specialties and one Of
these turns which is put on between acts
is said to be unusually entertaining. A
newspaper in one of the cities where this
company was recently seen said that this
speciality alone was worth the price of
admission to the whole show. There win
also ba moving pictures and illustrated
SONGS between the acts.

TAKING MINERAL LANDS
Question from Usage Considered by
Tax Commission.

The question of taxing the mineral
reserves in Usage county was the only
tax appeal considered by the state tax
commission during the morning ses-
sion. There were twelve of these ap-
peals filed but after one was heard
there was little new evidence to be
taken in the other cases. Most or the
morning session was spent In nearing
the Cherokee & Pittsburg Coal Mining
company case and the other cases
from Usage county were taken up as
rapidly as possible.
There is much undeveloped coal
lands in Usage county, The owners OF
the land object to paying taxes on the
there has been no development and
they do not want the minerals taken
into consideration when the assessors
fixed the value of the lands. In addi-
ton to the Cherokee & Pittsburg case,
which was heard first, the following
appeals from Usage county are to be
heard today:

ME K. McKlusky, w. w. Miller. 7. M.

This afternoon the commission will
take up the bank appeals from Wyan-
dotte county. The Interstate National
bank, the Kansas Trust company, the
Commercial National bank and the
wyandotte State bank have filed APP
peals from the assessments. All OF
these banks have been paying good
dividends and the stock is held at
more than par value and no one is
Offering much stock for sale. The as
SCISSORS made their valuations on the
actual market value of the stock on
the first of March. The banks have
appealed on the ground that the valu-
atoms should be based on the par
value and not the market value of the
stock.
The banks themselves pay the taxes
on the stock and surplus. The stock
holder returns his stock on the assess
ment blanks but the bank pays the en-
tire taxes.
1t is not likely that any decisions on
the appeals Will be made until the
commission has heard all of the cases
and has practically completed the
work Of equalization of valuations
throughout the state.
Tomorrow the commission begins
hearing the county officials regarding
the valuations in the different coun-
ties. These hearings will take up most
Of this and next week. After today
the hearing of appeals will be taken
UP at the same time county cases are
heard.

HOLD GOEBELs MAIL. TOO.
Fraud Order Extended to Treasurer OF
Uncle Sam Oil Company.

An order has been issued from the
postal authorities at Washington, d.
c., and directed to the postmaster at
Kansas City, Kansas, to hold all let
tiers addressed to Frank Goebel, treas
urer of the Uncle Sam Oil company.
Frank Goebel is the son of p. w.
Goebe1, president of the Commercial
National bank of Kansas City. Kansas,
and trustee of the oil company under
the bankruptcy proceedings. A fraud
order has issued this spring against H.
H. Tucker, jr., and this is still in force.
Both of these orders were issued with
the intent to stop the reception and
further solicitation on the part of the
officials of the company for assess
ments to the amount Of per cent on

SHARP SPIKES ON BRIDGE.
They Are Cause of a Protest Against
City Railway.

Spikes driven point up in the plank
ing on the street railway bridge on
wagner street in Auburndale have
caused serious injury to several peo-
pie who have attempted to walk across
the bridge in the dark. C. A. Johnston
of 113 Exeter street is reported to be
very seriously injured, having been
hurt while attempting to cross over.
A petition asking the council to in
vestigate will be presented to the
council this evening. An employee of
the street railway company. 1t is
stated, drove the spikes in place and
though nothing has been stated, the
petitioners believe 1t was done with
the intent to keep the people living in
that vicinity from walking across.
"The bridge is across Martins creek
and it means a saving Of four blocks
to u.s. We have never had any trouble
with the street railway company and
I don't know what this means and
that's the reason we are asking the
council to take hand" said one of
the petitioners.
The request to the council to inter-
cede Is headed by c. A. Johnston and
signed by others who live in Auburn

Then came four contestants for the

in close order
At 2:15 there were but 80 of the SO
cars in. many having experienced bad
roads.
The tourists came from Bedford
Springs, leaving at a. m. today, at
which time the first car was sent of
and other cars followed at intervals of
a minute. 1t was the worst day of the
tour for the contestants, as the roads
were in bad condition. In many places
the cars were obliged to plough through
mud and water almost hub deep.

''If the council repeats this ordin-
ance the state law still remains in
force and effect" the city attorney
said. "It simply shifts the responsible
ity upon the shoulders of the county
attorney. The city ordinance is di-
rect copy word for word of the state
under the state law can still go ahead
by applying to the county attorney. I
don't see that there is much to be
gained"
THE only thing that the supreme
court decided when it handed down its
opinion on the constitutionality of the
ordinance" said w. c. Ralston, assis-
tant city attorney, was labor as ap-
piled to the running of theaters. The
other questions as to whether operat-
ing street cars on Sunday, confecrion-
cry stores, drug stores was labor or an
act of public necessity was not touch
ed upon by the decision. 1t would be
necessary to bring this question into
the courts on separate suits"
1t will take a majority vote of the
council to repeal the city ordinance
this means that at least seven votes
must be secured and two more than
now exist. 1t is scarcely probable
that these two necessary votes will be
forthcoming on the round up.
Both sides will be represented by
large sized delegations in the hope
that their presence will influence the
council to vote favorably to their po-
sition. The Ministerial union has TAX
en- an active hand and many of the
pastors of the churches of the city
urged members of their congregations
Sunday to attend the council meeting.
Are they all going to be there?" in
quired one councilman laughingly, as
he asked about the other eleven. To
the man who hunts cover the dog and
the theater ordinance both of which
come up on a question of repeal are
certainly chasers. But no rabbity
feeling seems evident for all the
councilmen gave out their standing
when pinioned in a corner with pencil
and paper in hand.
Only Sunday baseball is beyond
question in the agitation and that is
because the ball park is without the
city limits and the police authority OF
the city. If the city ordinance is re-
pealed and the crusade is carried on
and to the doors of the county attor-
ney it is possible that Sunday baseball
may be doomed also. One thing is
certain If the forces against the re-
peal win efforts will be made to en-
force such a strict compliance to
the ordinance as to make its existence
obnoxious if possible. The theatrical
managers have frankly testified to this
effort and councilmen have limited
that a resolution will be offered this
evening to instruct the mayor to see
that strict compliance results.
BY dalliance on the part of the dog
owners and the friends of the dogs to
back up the councilmen who fought
against the so day dog order the fight
for a repeal seems doomed to defeat.
An effort will be made to repeal the
ordinance passed last Monday, but the
three or four councilmen who favor
it seem to foresee defeat already and
efforts to interest the people in gen.
eral do not promise much.
