SCHOOL OPENS TUESDAY
Report of Postponement on Account
of Fair Is Untrue.

School days are almost here. The
teachers of the city schools who nave
been away for the holidays have, VIII
but a few exceptions, returned and are
making preparations for the opening OF
the fall term. The youngsters are tear
ing down their pop and lemonade
stands for the most part with decidedly
long faces and are beginning to think
of more serious matters. This is al
ways a time when the small boy esPc-
cially is 10th to have barefoot days
come to a close.
On Monday the teaching force viii
meet to make plans for the fall work,
the school principals coming together
at 10 o'clock at the high school and the
teachers holding session at in the
afternoon at the same place
On Tuesday there will be general ex-
element among the younger generation
in the city. In the first place there will
be great rush at home in the early
morning to find all the books and pencils
and then long professions of children
will be seen hurrying towards their re-
spective school buildings.
At the high school enrolment will
commence at $3.50 for those who have
at least 2 credits. Those who are en-
tering from the grammar schools, and
those who have less than credits Will
wait until IL O'Clock before enrolling.
The faculty of the high school has
undergone a number of changes. A. j.
Stout takes H L. Miller'S place as prin-
cipal. and aside from his other work lie
will take charge of the senior class in
psychology
The vice principal will be R. w. Cop
page, formerly instructor in chemistry
and assistant in physics. He will have
general charge of the boys of the
school. The chemistry department Will
be in the hands of James Dickson, b.
u. graduate w. H. Lewis having re-
signed, the economics course will be
taught by. E. l.. Cowdrick-
General athletics will be in charye

liams will take Miss Estberg's place,
temporarily as physical trainer.
Miss Troutman's position as head OF
the history department will be filled by
Miss Nash, whose former work will be
put in the hands of Miss Marcia vii
Hams. Miss Bishop will assist in hi 3
tory this year. Public speaking will be
taught by Miss Everingham.
In the grade schools there will be two
new principals. Mr. C. H. Hepworth
will take the position at the Garfield
school made vacant by the death OF
Miss Goddard. Mr.. c. H. Peterson sue
ceeds Mr.. Geo. H. Mays as the head of
the Sumner school.
The new Central Park school which is
a credit to the city is almost in read'-
ness for the opening of the school term.
The Buchanan school which was con-
demned last year has undergone repair :
until it has almost the appearance from
an interior viewpoint at least of being
practically a new building.
The report which has been circulated
to the effect that the pupils of all
schools would be dismissed on Tuesday
on account of the fair, Superintendent
Whittemore asserts is absolutely un-
founded.

That the Commercial club is more
than ever real live factor for the
good in Topeka. and intends to
adopt policy of enhanced activity
was indicated by the meeting of the
organization Friday night. A mat
ter which will probably be of far
reaching Importance was that of
looking into the question of secur-
ing for the city more equitable rail-
way rates.
The subject was brought up by
John Dawson, attorney for the rail-
road commission. and was considered
of sufficient Importance to be acted
upon, and the following resolution
proposed by Judge E. R. Simon, was
adopted:
Resolved, That it be the sense of
this meeting that the subject of
freight rates is one of the most i'm
portant matters with which this club
has to deal and we therefore recon-
mend that the transportation and
trade committees of this club take
this matter up at the next meeting of
the club for the securing of equitable
freight rates for the city of Topeka

New York, Sept. 11.-Henry Green

years in Dannemora prison for bur-
glary in this city, has made state
ment in which he confesses to having
committed the crime for which Louis
Goldberg is now serving life SEN
tence in Sing Sing Goldberg, VINO
comes from a good family, was con-
victed of burglary in this city last
February and as it was his second Of

Greenberg, in his statement to the
warden of Dennemora prison, de-
clares that Goldberg is innocent and
that he committed the crime OF which
Goldberg was convicted. Attorneys
for the Goldberg family are investi-
eating and it is possible that they
will ask for a new trial.

City and other cities maintain a
trafnc department in their Com
mercial clubs" said Mr.. Dawson in
his argument for the proposition.
They employ a man to look after
freight rates. not to fight the rail-
roads but to see that no other city
gets more advantageous rates. No
matter whether high or low the i'm
portant thing is to see that no other
city has a better rate.
1T seems to me that the business
men of Topeka could serve them
selves no better than to look up this
matter of freight rates. Hutchinson
and Wichita both got a one and a
half fare for the round trip for the
radius of a hundred miles. Topeka
ought to have secured such a rate
for for its fair. 1t may not be too
late now. An equitable rate into the
city would have meant much"
d. o. Coe was of the opinion that
there should be more uniformity
among the merchants in respect to
the observing of holidays: He as
serted that some stores would observe
the holidays while some would not,
but many of those that would not,
refused to close simply for the rea
son that they were afraid that some
other firm selling their particular
the trade would all go there. But
Mr.. Coe believed that the people of
Topeka enjoy holidays and that all
the stores would be glad to close for
at least half a day if they knew that
no one else was expecting to keep
open. Upon his suggestion a com
mittee composed of Mayor Green. W.

An important convention will come
to Topeka during the coming year

that during the latter part of this

for the enthusiasts for commission form

to see'' asserted Mr.. GODDARD, the
sentiment is in favor of commission
form. The municipal legislation com
is called to plan q campaign: We shall
probably call upon the Commercial
club for active assistance.

fact that If the election comes off dur

this club is going to supplement the
work they have already done they
must become very active. There Will

is spreading rapidly over the country
and seems to be great thing 1t
was also suggested that most OF the
oters will vote right if they turn
out ana that when many elections go
wrong it is because the voters fail to
turn out.
Ed O'Neii, county commissioner, said
that there would be $44 600 to spend this
year for good roads. Among the I'M
Irovements which will BE- made is that
of resurfacing and oiling West sixth

successful in the future the oil1ng pro-
cess will probably be used quite ex-
tt nsively> Mr.. ONeil spoke in nigh
praise of the oil roads in Kansas City
which are kept up at a comparatively
small cost and are absolutely dlstless
He thought that there is nothing which
would add more to the worth OF this
county in real estate values and other
wise than good roads and he beheVed
that the Commercial club can do
