AID CLUB AT LAWRENCE.
j. w. Robinson of Topeka Explains
Workings of Home Club.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. 12.-AbOut TWEEN
ty members of the Lawrence Commercial
club turned out to hear Mr. J. w. Robin
sons talk upon the work and results ac-
complished in Topeka along the lines of
reform in advertising. But the smallness
in numbers was more than balanced by
the great interest taken in Mr. Robinson 5
talk, which showed that he thorough
ly and intimately acquainted with the
question of advertising.
Charles Starkweather. president of the
Commercial club, opened the meeting and
after explaining 1t purpose, introduced Mr..
Robinson. He explained that the Topeka
organization was originally sort of cen
sure committee to cut out all graft adver-
tisement with which they were being held
up. He is the chairman of the advisory
committee of the Commercial club and the
remainder of his time was devoted to
showing how advertising graft is handled
in Topeka.
The club voted Mr. Robinson a vote of
thanks for his talk. No definite action
was taken for the formation of a Law
renee ad club but Mr.. Starkweather will
call meeting later in the week when
plans for an Organization will be made.
But it seems certain that there will be
such an organization.

NO TICKET FOR X. N. G.

1t is supposed by those who know that

THOSE AWFUL men.
Daily Capital Employees Charged With
Stealing Premiums.

Carey Brake and Erwin Long. two
pressmen of the Daily Capital force,
were arrested at 2:3o o'clock today
charked with stealing watches, scis-
sors, postcards and other articles
from the premium room of that pub
LEGATION.
Detectives from the local force have
been investigating the disappearance
of the premiums several times within
the past month but no definite clue
was found until a trap was laid for
Brake last night. His thieving has
been principally from the postcard de
partment which with other articles
total value sufficient to charge him
with grand larceny. Long insists that
a tin watch is all that he took and he
is charged with simple larceny.
1t was the custom of the youths,
say the detectives, to enter after hours
and get into the premium room
through the transom. Inside a great
hole was torn in the screening which
protected the postcards. Carey Brake
lives in Oakland and Erwin Long was
found in house east of the cemetery
asleep.
This is the first allegation that the
Capital premiums have any value.

Mrs. Dearinger lives at 1876 Logan street.
Her husband died in April, leaving her

FACTS ABOUT CREN1ATORY.
Councilman Fraser Hears From Oak
Park, Illinois.

Councilman Fraser, who is pushing
the matter of securing a garbage plant
for Topeka is in receipt of the follow
ing letter from the commissioner of
Park, Ill, where a crematOry is being
successfully operated:
Oak Park. Ill, Aug. 9, 1909.
Your letter to the village clerk has
been referred to me. In reply beg to adj
wise that Oak Park has a so ton daily
capacity plant for cremating garbage.
Said plant was constructed by Lewis
& Kitchen, sanitary engineers of Chi
cago.
The original contract included 100
foot stack but when the plant was put
in operation it was unsatisfactory and
the stack was carried. up to $50 feet
and some changes made in the furnace.
Since these changes have been made we
have had the plant in operation about
six months and I am of the opinion
it is as good a crematory as any type
that could be built and operated along
sanitary lines. The location of the
plant is in the center of Oak Park and
only a short distance from a good res
iGence district
Since operating the plant we have had
quite a number of com plants from res
iCents, complaining of odor being emit
ted from the stack In so per cent OF
the cases the complaints were without
foundation. There are times in heavy
atmosphere when the smoke comes to
the ground and there will be burnt
SMELL but in no way a smell of gar
bage or offensive odor; but people will
magnify a. smell if a garbage crematory
is anywhere in the neighbOrhoOd and
any kind of an odor will be charged
to a erematory whether a proper charge
or not.
1 would not recommend the erection
of a crematory in a. residence or bust
ness district, but believe it would be
advisable to have a longer haul and
locate the plant in some place remote
from business or residence district. As
Stunning Topeka to have a population OF
45, 600 I would say the estimate made
by the city engineer of 1900 for a Gre
matory, is modest. and if you get a
good plant within this figure, the city
authorities are to be congratulated.
Yours very truly,
R. A. CARPENTER,
Commissioner of Public Works.
