DISCOVERS that
We Are BROKE

CHICAGO, April 20.-Major-Gen-
eral Count Arthur Tcherep Spirido-
witch, president of the Slavic Society
of Moscow, arrived in Chicago today
and announced that the United States

the result of the recent financial
panic. He. says he has found that

are unable to put their hands down
into their pockets and take out $685.

proposition which he declared had
been made by an American syndicate
to construct canal connecting the
Baltic with the Black Sea.
The Count refused to say what
syndicate made the offer, but said
that it was an Eastern concern back

lions before the panic, but who are

FORGED NOTES
PLACED in BANK

LOS ANGELES, April 2O.-While
examining the Bank of Calexico, in
the Imperial valley, State Bank Com
missioner w. S. Vawter of Santa
Monica was amazed to find his name
forged to note of $1,000. The
commissioner came across note for
$4,000 in the, name of w. S. Watson
of this city, who was recently ar
rested on a defalcation charge, a
fact to which the commissioner called
the bank officials attention. He was
informed that the note was all right,
being secured by two collateral notes
for $1,000 each. Asking for them he
saw his own name and those of Vic
tor Ponet and M. j. Nolan affixed
apparently all in the same handwrit-
ing. The other note bore the names
of S. X. Lindley and T. R. Hunter,
written in similar way. All are
believed to be forgeries.

BIG SHOW STARTS
Seventh Annual Midwinter Ex-
position Begins at Auditorium.
Regarded as the Largest and
Best of All.
BOOTHS ARE In PLACE
Building Has Been Made Model
of Cleanliness.
Vaudeville Performance i'm At
ternOOn and Evening.
BOOTHS ARE IN PLACE

At 1:30 this afternoon the Midwinter
exposition, the seventh one of it's kind
to be held at the Auditorium, opened
its doors. Like that much advertised
edible of the "57 varieties each year
brings an exposition but they all have
a variety.
If crowds are a part of an suspicious
opening, and it is presumable that they
are, there was enough people to greet
the opening of the doors this afternoon
to insure using such an adjective in
connection with the first day.
The programme calls as usual for the
opening of the exposition at 1:30 in the
afternoons and 730 in the evenings.
The vaudeville acts will commence
promptly at $3.50 in the afternoon and
$3.50 in the evening. The performances
are about one hour long but in that one
hour things are moving with rapidity
to make ones head swim and act fol-
lows act in quick succession.

And clean, the Auditorium not only
looks clean but smells that way. Scour-
ing soap in plentiful quantities and all
kinds of water with good sprinkling Of
labor thrown in has chased dirt out in
such a pronounced way that you can
wipe your finger along on the chairs in
the balconies, like the careful house
wife does, and not see a mite of dust
on your finger. Every little nook and
Granny has been scrubbed, scrubbed
and then busted. The Auditorium Just
feels good like anybody does after get
ting through with an exhilarating bath
Then to top it all off the booths are
revelations Of beauty. With the excep-
ton of but one or two all of them were
completely decorated already this
morning and with a few little hasty
touches they were all of them, thirty in
number, ready for the criticising eye
of the crowds.
Special mention should be made Of
the following exhibitors whose booths
are probably the most prominent of
any of those on the floor: Loose-Wfles
Candy and Cracker company of Kansas
City; Mrs. M. E. Hollcraft, florist; VOL
colt Photo Supply company, Topeka;
Bell Brothers Piano company, Law
renee; Wilson Office Supply company,
Topeka; c. M. Hill, wallpaper; Mayer
Shoe company, Milwaukee; H. B. How
ard, electrical supplies, Topeka; To-
peka Pure Milk company; Mccormick
Rug company; Berry-Mayburn. Chi
cago; F. G. Smith Piano company,
Kansas City A number of these have
taken space in previous years but they
have far exceeded the efforts expended
then.
The tops of many of the booths have
been left off this year, especially where
the tops would be likely to interfere
with the view of the crowd in watch
ing the vaudeville performances. This,
however, does not detract in any man
ner from elaborate decorative treat
ments that have been designed and car
ried out. And telephones galore have
been stationed everywhere in the lower
floor by the Bell Telephone company
with special switch board and an op-
orator to attend to all calls. If you
have lost a brother or sister in the
crowd and he doesn't show up home all
you have to do is to telephone for him
and there are so many telephones
that he can't keep hid away from them.

PLAN Big CHANGES.
Water Commissioners Will Spend
$4,000 in Improvements.

An almost entire Encouragement OF
the big main system of the waterworks

trustees.

make some of the changes it may be
necessary to secure the passage OF a
bill through the legislature in order to
secure permission from the state to
puts it's eighteen inch feed mains across
the state asylum grounds.
The board desires to construct It's
new main from the up river waterworks
station to the city across the asylum
property and also to rebuild the present
feed main which, would shift 1t from
the Rock Island railroad right OF way
over on state property.
The present big eighteen inch main
runs for a long distance on the north
side of the Rock Island railroad tracks
and is exposed. Another big flood
might wreck the main and leave the
city without water for several days or
else some vicious person could dyna-
mite the pipe line with ease and bring
a serious drought to thousands Of To-
pekans who are dependable upon city
water service.
Either one of the two alternatives Is
serious enough to cause the board OF
waterworks commissioners to plan for
a change in laying the mains, bringing
them north across the asylum farm ana
placing the line underground. In add
ton to that it will save from 800 feet Of
pipe which means about Sl,o0V, SAID =.
E. Jewell of the board.
The present line runs through Au-
burndale to the city and by shifting the
pipe the city can take advantage on a
cross cut line will be built first cut
ting across and then the 500 feet of ex-
posed main to the north OF the railroad
tracks will be taken out.
In addition the new feed line, one
mile long, will be constructed TINS
spring 1--WE have fully decided on
that" said Mr. Jewell THE cost OF
iron pipe has gone down and we Will
make a purchase just as soon as we can
find out the exact number of feet that
we need. 1t will be about mile
though We don't know whether to
bring the new line south from the
pumping plant and over bluff or TO
build across where the other line IS
going to be constructed. We might
save a little in the distance the first
way but the friction caused by sending
that water up over that bluff will be
something fierce"
tach on to the regular main system at
Seventh street. It is probable also that
a big eleven inch service main will be
constructed down Seventh street from
Western avenue to Kansas avenue IN
place of the smaller man now in place.
This will immensely better the fire

district.
