PLUMBERS ARRESTED.
They Started to Cut Kansas Avenue
Asphalt.

Gustafson and Pribble, plumbers,
sent some of their employees this
morning to Kansas avenue between
Eighth avenue and Ninth street to
put in a service main. While the men
were busily engaged in chopping up
the new pavement another man was
sent to the office of the city engineer
to secure an excavation permit.
Now the city council passed an or
dinance forbidding any excavation on
Kansas avenue for a period of five
years-this was done to protect the
new asphalt pavement put down two
years ago. Only in extreme emergency
is this ordinance suspended and then
it takes the joint action of the mayor
and council to raise the ban.
The firm of plumbers who set to
work this morning. did not know it,
but some of the city officials who saw
ton followed. John Sheahan, plumb
ing inspector, swore to a warrant ar
resting the members of the firm of
Gustafson and Pribble for violation
of the ordinance. The pavement was
not badly injured as the discovery
was made before the workmen had
proceeded far.
On asphalt pavement the time limit
on excavating is five years after 1T is
newly laid and two years on brick.
Plumbers have also been negligent
in placing lighted lanterns about their
excavations, according to the city at
torney. A ditch at Sixth and Topeka
avenues, about six feet deep and as
many feet long, was left with lamps
that did not have any oil in them and
unlfghted on Sunday night. The city
attorney called the attention of the
plumbers to this, this morning.

LELAND's DATES THIS WEEK.
VIII Visit Clay Center. Junction City

he expects to spend the day meeting
old friends and looking for votes. He
will visit at Clay Center. Junction City
and Abilene before returning to To-
peka next Saturday night. Mr.. Le-
land is working thus far in the cam
paign on the theory that a visit to a
town and a personal meeting with the
largest number of voters possible is a
better proposition than public speak
ing advertised in advance. The
method has brought marked results.
However Mr.. Leland will deliver a
number of speeches later in the cam
paign.
