cine.

The trial of Prof" r. H. Waldor.
the negro who was recently arrested
for practiciEg medicine without a IL
cense, was held in the court of To-
peka today, the evidence heard and
the case taken under advisement.
Waldor appears to have been practic-
ing a mixture of voodoo and other
things at his office, 22S Kansas ave-
nue..
Last week he gave an old colored
woman three treatments with an
electric battery. advised her to take
a patent medicine, and charged her
SO She didn't receive any benefit
from the treatment and had Waldor
arrested. WaIdor's defense is that
he was not practicing medicine, but
was a hypnotist-
DR.. s. A. Johnson was called as a
witness, and testified that the giving
of electrical treatments constituted
the practice of medicine" within the
meaning of the state law. Waldor
admits that he is not a licensed ply
sician, so the court took the question
under Amusement, and will decide to-
morrow whether or not Waldor was
practicing medicine.

NEW FIRM WOULD TRY 1T.
C. f. Clark & Co, of Philadelphia
Would Try to Build Southwestern.

Efforts are being made to revive the
ka-Southwestern railway project
which has been in a dormant state
since the collapse of the Lamprecht
Brothers firm during the early part of
last winter. The officials of the con-
struction company claimed that this
failure would have no effect on the
road, but such has proven the case
nevertheless.
According to the new plans which
are being formulated a contract may
be made between the directors and
the c. F. Clark & Co.. fiscal agents,
of Philadelphia, who are represented
in Topeka by W. I. Taylor & Co. A
meeting was held last night at the
Commercial club rooms at which a
proposition was submitted from the
Clark people and which looked good
to the directors, so good in fact that
the secretary was authorized to open
negotiations with the company. The
legal department of the road was in
structed to secure all the bonds and
other financial paper of the road from
the Lamprecht Brothers and their
agents, Messrs Curnick and Herbert.
1t is the opinion of those interested
that the new company can get matters
in such a shape that the long neglect
ed construction work will be com
menced within a period of eight or
ten weeks

PLANS CITY BEAUTIFUL.
Theodore Lescher, Chicago Architect,
Talks of Plans to Topeka People.

If the plans suggested to the Com
mercial club by Theodore Lescher,
formerly Of Topeka, are followed out
this city will be a second Washington,
D. c., within the next thirty years.
Mr.. Lescher is a well known architect
Of Chicago with D. H. Burnham &
Co., OF that city and he plans to
create for this city a beautiful sys-
tenn of radiating spider web boule-
wards making the state house the
center of the artistic arrangement.
Better parks, more beautiful buildings
and a uniform arrangement of all is
included in the plans suggested by
the architect.
TT looks like a mammoth PROPOSE
ton to change the thfckIy settled, well
paved and permanent streets of this
city" said Mr.. Lescher in speaking of
the scheme. But it isn't so bad when
plenty of time is taken and the change
is gradual Slowly cut out the exist
ing streets, shift in short streets and
purchase as much overlapping prop
erty as possible. Within thirty years
you would be surprised at the big
change and you would find your
streets rapidly effecting the original
plans
Completely surrounding the city it
is planned to build a grand boulevard
covering distance of 80 miles. This
would be the garden wall, SO to
speak, OF the whole system. It could
be paved or macademized to such an
extent that it would complete the
greatest automobile drive in the
country. Topeka is peculiarly situat-
ed to a great advantage for such a
boulevard and the architect was elat-
ed at the conditions.
The Commercial club has taken the
matter up by asking Mr.. Lescher to
draw the plans and present them as
are drawn it can be decided on what
course to take,

NAY ORDER CATTLE DIPPED.
Those at Kansas City Stock Yards
May Be Placed Under the Ban.

The state live stock department is
considering the plan of making an
order requiring all cattle bought by
Kansans from the Kansas City stock
yards to be dipped before being ship
ped out into this state.
The necessity for some such ruling
has been made apparent from the
fact that complaints have been made
from over the state that cattle from
the stock pens at the mouth of the
Kaw are infected more or less with
itch and other skin diseases. 1t has
not yet been dehs4itely decided about
this dipping regulation but Commits
sioner Mercer has about made up his
mind to promulgate the or,1er In a
few days.

LESS OPPOSITION TO SEWER.
Government Engineer Approves Passaic Val

The United States government is prepared to
abandon itF opposition TO the construction OF the
Psssaie Valley trunk sewer-on certain conditions.
laid down IN the report of Colonel w. NJ. Black,
L. S. A. chief engineer officer OF the Department
OF the East, which made public yesterday.
Tie most important OF these conditions are that
the sewer shall discharge fits contents into the bay
with not more than Is per cent OF the organic
matter a putrescent state; that no solid ma
terial shall be clearly noticeable the surface Of
the water near the point OF discharge. any
no4ous gases. oily deposit discoloration; and
that II the is built and operated the officials

that the requirements are being complied with.
Colonel Black lays much stress upon the
aesthetic considerations which he holds should In
auence the governments attitude toward the pro-
posed sewer. He also criticises the specifications
furnished by the sewerage commissioners en-
gineers too vague.
Within the last few DAYS there have appeared in
the New Jersey newspapers intimations that the
commission would not be bound by the findings Of
the report. Edward Hatch, jr., of the Water Pol
luton Committee, is not discouraged by this ap-
parent change of front. believing that the COM
mssiOners refusal TO consider plans for the purl-
ncatiOn OF the sewage means a long and bitter
fight by the New York State and federal govern
msnJs and the beginning of a number Of suits
against the commission by New Jersey tax
payers.

greatly interested in the successful flights made
mere by Wilbur Wright. and declared that he had
been the financial hacker OF the Wrights for the

Mr. Flint said the important question before
the English people was the taxation on land. The
Liberals, he said were anxious to compel the ars-
tocratic element TO pay increased taxes or sell Its
land. so that 1t could be divided up into small
farms.
The English considerably agitated over the
great progress that is being made by the United
States and Germany said Mr.. Flint. In round
numbers, the percentage OF exports of manu-
featured goods is double in Germany what it is in
England. The secret OF the success in Germany
and In the United States is due to the advantages
OF special machinery and methods available through
