State Will Stir Up BETTER Time
en- Railroads.
Blank Reports to Ee Sent Out
Over State.
PUBLISH THE DELAYS
Board VIII Show Public What
to Expect.
Is Thought That Railroads Will
Make Improvements.

In the course of a few months re-
ports of the condition of the train SER
vice in Kansas will be printed showing
just where the railroads are weak and
just where they are strong. These re-
ports will be made out per the orders
sent out by the board of railroad COM
nissioners. Blanks will be sent over
the state at once and the reports will
be received at the state house.
This idea was promulgated for the
purpose of improving the train service
in the, state. 1t is thought that the pub
lie reports of the condition of the ser
Vice will awaken the responsibility of
the railroads.
The statement sent out by the board
reads as follows
''The engineer for the board of rail-
u cad commissioners reports consider
able irregularity in the operation of
passenger train service on lines of sew
eral of the railroad companies operating
in the state The board is well aware
OF the annoyance of such. delayed ser
vice to the travelling public and with
view of minimizing the same has pre-
pared a blank form calling for monthly
reports from the railroad companies
covering their passenger train move
ment and the principal causes of delay.
1.-THE form calls for q separate re-
port on each operating passenger di-
vision of each company and will there
fore advise the board of the service
given, not only on the main lines, but
On each particular branch of each COM
pany. The report calls for the total
number of trains run ON each operating
division; the number of trains on time;
the per cent OF trains on time; the
number of trains late. and the average
late per train run.
1T. also calls for information as to
causes of delay enumerating among
such causes; engine failures; equip
ment failures; wrecks; condition of
track; waiting other divisions; waiting
ether railroads: meeting and passing;
waiting for signals; trains ahead; wait
ing for orders; train work at stations;
storms, and other causes.
There are a number of railroad COM
giving good passengnr service and the
effect of making of such reports cannot
be other than beneficial.
THE effect of making such report by
those companies which fail either in
whole or part to give prompt passenger
train service, will be to urge the operat-
ing officials to minimize delays as much
as possible in order that their public
report may be as creditable as condi-
tions will permit.
THE blank forms for these reports
are now in the hands of the state print
ar and will be forwarded to the rail-
road companies in time for them to re-
port train movements for the month of

ature and the general public"

Commercial Club Suggestion.
This experimental service comes in
response to dern~-| 80 for better service
between Topeka and Emporia and the
intermediate points. The Topeka COM
mercial club has been especially active
in requesting additional service for To-
peka from the smaller towns along the
Sauta Fe. A while back a committee
from the club which consisted of Frank
P. MacLennan, E H. Crosby, ]. Z.
Emahizer, ]. G. Bauer, w. c. Stephen
son and H. A. Auerbach, was appoint
ed to consult with the Santa Fe in re-
gard to additional service.
They suggested a plan for additional
service as far as Usage City which is a
little more than a half way point be-
tween Topeka and Emporia, by start
ing the Topeka-Kansas City plug at
Usage City instead of Topeka. This.
however, was impractical on account of
it's neceSsitating a complete revision OF

BABY sCALDED TO DEATH.
Pulled the stopper Out of Washing
Machine.

Council Grove. Kan, Aug. 13.-Ths
one-year-old child of Elmer Brown and
wife living at Kelso. nine miles no1tn
of this city, met death in a most hor-
rible manner. The little one was sit
ting on the floor liz the kitchen, where
the mother was busy washing.
The mother just poured scalding Wa
ter from a basin off the stove into the
washing machine, and looking around
found that her little one had pulled the
stopper from the washing machine and
the hot water was pouring over the lit
tie ones body
Immediately she seized her child and
called a doctor, but the greater portion
of the hot water had gone over the
lungs and heart of the little sufferer,
and no medical aid could save it. The
parents are grief stricken.

WILL BE OILED.
Good News for People Living ON West
Sixth Avenue Road and Others.

West Sixth avenue will be oiled. Last
night the city council decided to CO.
operate with the county commissioners
in the work, placing the limit of ex-
penditure at 5000.
The question of surfacing and oiling
the West Sixth avenue road which has
been hanging fire for some time while
the matter was in the hands of the
streets and walks committee was last
night brought before the meeting of
the city council for final action. In the
first place the letter from the county
commissioners asking the city to do
their part of the work, was decidedly
vague, inasmuch as there was no init
nation of the probable cost of the
work. The proposition was therefore
held over until such a time as Council
man Tandy and Engineer Rogers could
meet with the county commissioners
those gentlemen.
This they did but the matter was
brought to an issue when Frank P.
MacLennan took in his auto to observe
the condition of the West Sixth avenue
road. Robert E. Eastman, assistant
forester; Councilman Tandy, and /. D.
Graham. The chief object of this tour
of inspection was to show Councilman
Tandy that there is immediate neces-
sity for repairing the road. The brick
wagons are daily pulveriztng the sur
face of the thoroughfare and the thick
layer of white dust is constantly being

good material which might be utilized
to advantage as surface substance by

tomobilists all go over this road and
they complain bitterly of the condition
that it is now in.
When the road was first macadam-
lied that portion of it from a point i'm
mediately north of Rambler's park to
Summit avenue was paid for Jointly by
the property owners, city and county.
The present plan of the county COM
missioners is very fair. They will re-
surface and oil the road from Summit
avenue to the end Of the road, dis
tance of at least mile and a half,
leaving but two and a half blocks for
the city to pay for. The county com
missioners went to Kansas City yes
terday to investigate the oiled roads in
and adjacent to that center.
Prof. Albert Dickens of K. S. A. c.
has agreed to furnish the special oil
wagon which belongs to the state on
condition that the city and county will
pay for the necessary oil and provide
teams for the wagon. Robert E. East
