to keep fowls or pigeons should be al
lowed to do So"
Distance From Dwellings.

Health officer Woodward criticises the
provisions OF the present regulations gov
erning the distance that chickens are to
be kept from inhabited dwellings. They
provide that chickens cannot be kept
within twenty-five feet of any house
used for human habitation inside the
fire limits or within fifty feet outside
the fire limits.
so far as concerns the regulations
now in force governing the keeping Of
poultry" DR.. Woodward says. 1t seems
to me that the difference In the distance
that must exist between the fowls and
pigeons and neighboring dwellings with
i'm the fire limits and the corresponding
distance outside the fire limits is illog
CAL II fowls or pigeons constitute a
nuisance per Sc within fifty feet of a
dwelling located outside the fire limits.
then they also constitute q nuisance per
Sc within the same distance within the
fire limits, and the keeping OF them
within the distance within the fire limits
should not be tolerated. II they can
be kept up to within twenty-five feet of
a dwelling house. etc, within the fre
limits, then they can be kept up to with
in the same distance without the fire
limits.
The existing regulation prohibits fowls
from running. flying or straying within
fifty feet of a dwelling, etc, but 10
silent as to pigeons. 1t Is. OF course.
difficult to regulate the movements OF
pigeons, yet complaints have probably
been more numerous as the result of
encroachments OF pigeons than as the
result Of encroachments of fowls"

OPPOSED TO CHANGE
DR.. Woodward Against Mod.
flying New Chicken Order.
OUTLINES HIS REASONS
Would Not Transfer Initiative From
Owners Of BOOSTERS.
WOULD EXTEND SCOPE OF LAW
Regards Existing Requirements Re-
garding Keeping of Poultry as
Susceptible Of Amendment.
WOULD EXTEND SCOPE OF LAW

Declaring noisy roosters to be nuis-
ance. Health Officer Woodward is not in
favor Of letting down the bars against
the chanticleer as put up by the new
chicken regulations.
A valiant fight for the barnyard song
bird is being made by the Poultry Pro
tective Association. and the Commission
ers listened to pleas by It's members for
a couple of hours at a public hearing
recently. At that time 1t was suggested
that the present regulation which pro-
hibits the keeping of a rooster in any
densely populated square without the
consent of a majority Of the residents OF
the block should be modified.
The rooster defenders want BOOSTERS to
be allowed in the city, except when a
majority Of the residents in a block where
the rooster is kept petition the Commits
sioner that the rooster is a nuisance But,
II the Commissioners follow the advice of
Health Officer Woodward, no such change
will be made in the regulations.
DR.. Woodward Opposes Change.
"A regulation requiring the person or
persons annoyed by noisy BOOSTERS to pro-
cure protests from a majority OF the
householders in the square or block in
which such ROSTERS are kept would be.
in my judgment. ineffective as q means
of relief from nuisances Of this charac-
ter DR.. Woodward reported to the Com
mis- .ioners today. "A rooster by the noise
he makes necessarily intrudes himself
trespasses, to speak. upon persons
dwelling on neighboring premises without
regard to property lines. and 1t would
seem as though logically such intrusion.
IL IL Is to exist. should be sanctioned
by the person whose comfort and quiet
may be trespassed against. rather than
be allowed to continue until protest Is
filed"
Health Office Woodward also suggests
that IL consents are required for the
keeping OF ROSTERS. then consents should
be required for the keeping Of chickens
or pigeons generally. He says:
IF. as authorized by existing reguia-
tons, ROSTERS may be kept IL a majority
OF the householders In the square or block
consent. then II would appear that a like
rule should be enforced with respect to
the keeping Of fowls or pigeons general
ly. and II a majority or some other speci-
fed part of the residents within a given
area consent. then the person desiring

BIG CHARTER FEE.
Missouri Pacific Pays $4,000 for
Increasing Capital Stock.

The biggest charter fee in the his
tory of the state of Kansas was re
ceived Monday night at the Office of
the secretary of state when the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railway company OBJ
tanned a charter from the charter
board increasing it's capital with an
addition of $79, 10000. The fee paid
for this charter gave to the state
revenue of $4,000, the largest known
on the records. The largest record
before this time was obtained by the
Santa Fe when they gave to the state
as a fee $4,000. rr
This move on the part of the Mis-
souri, Pacific marks the consolidation
state and the new charter taken out is
simply a reissue of the capital stock of
the combination of the other roads
The act of taking out charter means
that the consolidation has been COM
pleted and the railway system organ
lied completely.
The different branch lines and COM
panies included under this new or
ganization includes the following lines:
Missouri Pacific, Kansas & Colorado
Pacific, Central Branch, Rocks Coun-
ty, Nevada Sc Meriden of Missouri,
Nevada & Meriden of Kansas, Kansas
City & Southwestern of Missouri,
Kansas City & Southwestern of Kan
sas Fort Scott Central, Kanapolis &
Kansas Central, Kansas Southwestern,
Leroy & Caney Valley Air Line.
When the Missouri Pacific officials
had obtained their charter they went
before the board of raiIraod commits
sioners and obtained their permission
to issue $50, 100000 in additional
stock

in particular demand, the commission
men are realizing handsome profits. .IAo-
cal merchants have found it possible to
get lemons from Kansas City and pay
the freight.
''PineappIes have also been imported
from Kansas City by local merchants
and have been laid down here at much
lower prices than the local commission
men have quoted.
Many of the merchants are trying
to fight the local trust as they call
the commission men. But this is a
Ia I'd proposition. For instance one large
Kansas avenue store will import from
Kansas City. 1t is impossible to make
any importation without the commission
men knowing all about it. They are
at the local freight offices every day
signment there, they are sure to recog-
Eize it in the store windows. They
know the merchants who do not buy
from tnem are getting their goods at
lower prices. So they go to the nearest
competitor, sell them an order at re-
duced prices, prices which are lower
than the outlaw merchant pays. They
can afford to sell at a loss in a few
cases, so large are the regular profits.
It is a well known fact that living is
higher N Topeka than in other towns
in this section of the country. In Wich-
tia the Chamber of Commerce adver-
there than in Topeka, and that is one
reason why Topeka is not growing as
fast as her rival in the southwest.
1.-The statement which the commits
sion men make to the effect that there
is no trust, is probably correct. The
organization of trust is more COM
pick than is necessary. But it is I'M
doubtedly true that there is an under
standing among the local commission
men, so that their interests are pooled |
and that for the main part they pool |
together Occasionally some of the |
dealers hoodwink their competitors, |
but these are exceptional cases. One |
commission man few days ago told |
a retailer on lower Kansas avenue that |
under the agreement which the COM |
dealers had, he couldn't quote |
a price on watermelons lower than a |
dollar for a hundred pounds, but that |
if the dealer would not say anything |
about it, he would give him 10 |
pounds for the same money.
ct is a fact that Topeka people are |
paying more this season for lemons, |
and watermelons. The ex- |
periences of Mr.. Murphree are not |
so say those who know. |
His trouble at the hands of the |
local commission men, so that the |
producer isn't making much for his |
labors The price which the retailers |
are paying to get these fruits shows |
that the profits which they derive just |
before the consumer pays the bill is /
not large or unreasonable. And the
only fact that can remain is that the
or the commission men,
as they are known, are the ones who
get the rakeOff.''

The general purpose of the flights
to be made in Germany, he said. was
to comply with arrangements made last
winter with the company organized
for the manufacture of the Wright
aeroplanes in that country.
Before sailing Orville Wright had a
word or two to say about the present
of the Wright Brothers
aerOplanes.
I'VE have the official record of hav-
ing flown at the speed of AZ Il miles an
