Kansan Made President of Association
of Attorneys General.

Buffalo, n. Y, Aug. 2S.-The con-
vention OF attorney generals repre-
senting a dozen states between New
York and California closed today with
an executive session. In discussing
the problem of handling delinquent
trusts, Vice President L. s. Webb, of
California. said what had been ac-
compIished was not the most encour-
aging feature of the fight against
privileges but hope lay in the fact
that public opinion had been awaken
ed to the need of finding some way
of controlling corporations which op-
press or extort. The country was
about to solve the question, he said,
but the right thing had not been adj
vised-
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
President-F. s. Jackson, Kansas.

MYRTLE RUSSELL GETS TRUNK
Stranded Show Girl Will Now Go to
Her Home In Texas.

Myrtle Russell. the stranded show girl
VINO has been having SO much trouble
with the managers Of the swing at the
City. park was given possession of her
trunk by Judge Simon in the court of To-
peka this morning. The Young people
who have been holding the trunk claiming
that Myrtle owed them money for board
and washing did not appear in court and
the girl obtained her property in a judge
ment through default.
Needless to say. Myrtle Russell is the
happiest girl in Topeka today and she will
leave tonight for her home and her rela-
tives in the south where they have been
waiting for her and where will be cele-
brated the return of the prodigaI.
From the precautions that were taken
by the city of Topeka and the Coca Cola
Bottlfng Works today it looks as though
the statements by Miss Russell to the
effect that the managers or the merry-go-
round were noted for their list of creditors
and their skipping OF debts, were true.
The city made out an attachment on the
swing for a license of $50 and the bottling
works followed suit with a claim for $54- A.
Detective Carl Lawson Of the police force
has been in complete charge of the merry
go-round today.

FROM THE AUTOMOBILE BOARD.
VIII Meet Monday to Examine Drivers
Who Apply for Licenses.

The automobile board of examiners will
meet next Monday afternoon from to 5
o'clock at the city council chamber
Those wishing drivers licenses can
make application at that time The
board will also act on complaints that
have been made against careless and reck-
less drivers and those who have been ex-
ceeding speed limits
The members of the board consider it
careless driving for driver to lie back
on the seat with feet the dash board
while driving car. or to turn the head
toward the rear seat ana engage in con-
versation.
The matter of driving after dark with
out two good lights or without the end
light lighted, is also considered dangerous
driving. as well as the improper turning
OF corners.
Persons making complaint to the board
should give their names and addresses
that they may be called upon for detailed
information. They should also be speci-
ftc in regard to the car number. descrip-
ton of the driver, time OF occurrence and
the exact location where the onenSe is
committed
a thing that is frequently complained
OF, is the driving of a car after night on
Kansas avenue while the street is crowd
ed, especially near the corner Of Eighth
avenue At such times the speed limit OF
u miles an hour is considered dangerous
and reckless driving. and the board will
cancel licenses OF any drivers against
whom this offenSe is proven.

ROUND AND ROUND.
Auto Racers Go Leave Dead and
Wounded In Their Wake.

Brighton Beach, y. Y, Aug. as
The record for the first nine hours OF
the "a hour automobile race on the
new motordrome track is one driver
painfully burned and a policeman
crippled
The record for speed and distance
was fairly well held up during the
early hours of the contest but at the
end of nine hours racing, the leading
car, the Renault, with 431 miles to it's
credit, was "a miles behind the record
made here nearly a year ago.
Fully 5000 persons were present
when the fatal smash occurred which
crushed the life out of Mechanician
Leonard Cole, who was in the Stearns
car with Driver Laurente Crosse, and
more than half that number remained
until daylight this morning
During the night there were many
spills which forced several cars to take
trips to the camps for repairs.
One of the early morning accidents
was the turning over of the LoZier car
under which Driver Heina was buried,
but he was not even scratched
Between and o'clock a special
policeman named Corrigan was badly
injured through the overturning of a
metal lamp post which was knocked
over by one of the racing autOmo biles
that skidded while going at top speed.
Corrigan's right leg was broken and
his left knee dislocated- He was taken
to the hospital. where Driver Crosse
was being treated for an injured spine
and internal bruises. Early today the
doctors said both men probably would
recover. Driver Hughes. whose cloth
Ing took fire after a collision between
two big cars, was painfully but not
seriously burned.
The Lozier car, which was out of
the race for three hours during the
night, jumped from the track into the
outf1eld at $40 a. m, when a tire
burst The car turned over twice and
although the racing machine was
wrecked neither of the occupants was
scratched.
At the conclusion of IL hours raising
six cars were on the track.
