NOT TRUE. SAYS BLAKELY.
Insurance Companies Have No Inten-
ton of Canoeing Policies.

According to Councilman C. G.
Blakely, who is also a representative
of a number of insurance companies
in this city, the scare which has been
going around Topeka concerning the
alleged threats of the insurance COM
panies to withdraw their policies on
account of the gas leakages, is unwar-
ranted and uncalled for.
1.-THE fire insurance companies do
ing business in this city will stand by
the people. During the flood a few
years ago when the city was without
water supply and fire protection, the
companies stuck to their policies and
cancelled none. There is no occasion
for desertion at this time
"Of course" continued Mr.. Blakely,

WINNER OF INTERNATIONAL
BALLOON RACE GETS MEDAL

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-At meeting
of the Aero club of America, at which
Edward w. Nix was presented with a
gold medal for having won the inter-
national balloon race in Switzerland,
the new Areo clubs of Baltimore and
Cincinnati were officially affiliated with
the parent body and an application for
affiliation was received from the Areo
club of Colorado located in Denver
James II. Carr, the government
weather forecaster, informed the club
that there were many places in the
United States better than New YORK
for aeroplane flights. He SAID that
Roseburg. Ore, and Grand Junction,
Colo, were ideal places because of the
minimum amount of wind. He said
that Thomasville, Ca, would also be a.
favorable place and that the best time
for holding airship contests would be
in the months OF June, July. August
and September, when there is the least
air movement.
