Mrs. Maria Chumos, the plaintiff, is

THE STATE FAIR.
"A Large Subscription Doubled-To-
days Efforts.

This afternoon force of about twenty
Kansas state fair rustlers is out to in
crease The subscription list and bring
dt nearer the 100000 mark. A list OF
200 of the people who were missed in
the canvass on Monday was made out
and the canvasSers in the interests OF
the fair are calling on the people whose
names were on this list
The noteworthy incident of today 6
campaign came from the Merchants Ma
tional bank people. who said: 'Well
we see $4,000 has been raised. That
means many subscriptions will have to
be doubled. We double ours, making
1t $1,000 instead of $500.
Eight hundred and fifty dollars was
added to the subscription list today.
One of these was the contribution OF
John G. Quinn, a, travelling man, who
'phoned in his subscription before the
active campaign had been commenced
and whose name has not been previous

to subscribe but have been missed by

steps will be taken when a few more
thousand dollars have been added to
the subscription list of the state fair
for the erection of a large cattle barn.
rest rooms, etc, and the laying out
of the grounds with a view to the
convenience of fair patrons and as to
scenic effects.
Secretary H. L. Cook, H. A. Auer-
bach, S. E. LUX and A Reinish, the
landscape gardener, carefully went
over the fair grounds with a view to
drawing up a general plan to be car
ried out in respect to buildings and the
general artistic effect.
Plans will probably be brought be-
course of two or thres days. A num-
Der of the members of the board have
expressed the desire to have the mis-
sion style carried out by the architects
who design the new buildings.
1t has been stated that the old agrI-
cultural building which was used as a
stock barn could be transformed into
an attractive structure of this style of
architecture by putting on steel lath-
ing and outside coating of stucco, aside
from making few other alterations.
This change will likely be made this
season and the building be utilized for
agricultural and horticultural displays
AS planned by Secretary Cook the
built on the east side OF the grounds
will be absolutely fireproof and will
accommodate 500 head of cattle
Mr.. ReiniSch and Secretary Cook are
of the opinion that the grounds can
be changed into a garden spot by
planning for beds of flowers and at
tractfve walks and driveways.

The west end of Elmhurst wants to
be admitted to Topeka. N. B. Burge

following letter to Commissioners
Tandy this afternoon:
I'VE desire to make formal reuuest
to have the west 20 acres of Elmhurst

iieve it necessary to call your atten-
ton to the fact that Elmhurst is a
paying proposition for the city of To-
peka. There are now completed and
being built % new houses. These
nave been constructed at an average
cost of about $4,000, which means
that there is in houses alone $4,000
additional taxable value. besides the
increase in value of real estate. which
was formerly farm property, which is
now city property. The revenue for
merly from this tract for the city was
but few dollars. while the revenue
for the city for the year 1910 will
probably run in the neighborhood of
$4,000 or $4,000.
THAT part of Elmhurst which we
are asking you to take in is valuable
property. She comes to you all trim

HE STARTS A FIGHT.
Burton Files Minority Report ON River
and HarbOr Bill.

| Washington, April 14.-Dsregarding
the plans of many of his associates.
| Senator Burton of Ohio. chairman of
| the national waterways commission,
who was chairman of the river and
| harbor committee. when he served in
| the house and who is now a member Of
| the senate committee on commerce, to-
day presented a minority report on the
| about $50. 900, 900 for the Improvement of
rivers and harbors. The character of
his opposition which is a sweeping ar
regiment of piecemeal appropriations
as well as a condemnation of many
named projects, makes 1t certain that
the contest to be waged over the bill
will be one of the most heated in the
history of the senate. Mr.. Burton's
report IS designed to attract the at
tent1on of the country as well as OF
congress as it is said that if his opposi-
ton to majority of these great pro-
jects should be unsuccessful there will
be launched a movement looking to the
veto Of the bill by the president.
In summarizing his report, Mr.. Bur-
ton says:
Il am prompted to file this minority
report, because in my judgment sub
stantial reforms should be ACCOMPLISH
ed in our river and harbor legislation.
This is impossible without correcting
many abuses manifest in the bill The
following are the most important rules
which should govern:
improvement, when adopted, save in
exceptional cases.
"a greater degree of discrimination
in the making of appropriations for riv-
er and harbor improvements; by omit
ting projects condemned by the ex-
perts who make the surveys and recon-
mendations; for careful review of
pending projects in the light of present
conditions, most careful considera-
ton before the adoption of projects
with especial reference to avoidance of
lock and dam construction save in
streams which are capable of being
made artiries of commerce, a division
of expenses when exceptional advan-
tages accrue to private property of
specific localities or when the protec-
ton of private property is the main
object and. navigation subordinate; the
exclusion from the bill of proposed i'm
provements which do not have to do
with navigation.
"A general policy of improving the main
stream before attention is given to branch
streams and the adjustment of depths and
dimensions with view to uniform and
comprehensive plan for the development
of waterways.
AN adjustment of relations between
the railways and waterways with a view
to securing greater cooperation"
