is the testing of taximeters The colonel

of all he is the great friend of the busted

For he makes the taXicab owners nut
accurate taximeters on their vehicles. He
IS so much IN earnest in this that he has
invented and built with his own hands an
ingenious and interesting device by which

mum charge is 80 cents, but any number
OF riders from one to five may be carried
for 90 cents for a whole half mile before
the little clockwork affair goes click
and there's another 10 cents to pay.
1t would be to much Of a burden if
some one had to go out and ride about
| in a taxicab in order TO test the meters,
so the colonel sat down and worked out
this device of his, which looks something
like the old-fashioned spinning wheel, so

TWO new MEN ON
BOyleS and Golf Are Slated for
Detective Force.
Hutton and Lawson Let Out Or
Shifted This Week.
SAULS AND ROSS STAY.
Chief Jenkins to See Billiard
About Other Changes.
To Enforce Anticipating and
Other Ordinances.

Chief of Police Jenkins has COM
pleted his reorganization of the de-
tective department. The new lineup is
as follows: Carl Golf. Lon Sauls. ].
Ross and Edward Boyles. Just what
disposition he will make Of Detectives
Hutton and lawson Chief jenkins is
unable to say. These officers may be
shifted to the patrol service or let out
Their fate will be decided at a confer
ence to be held within the next couple
of days between Mayor Billiard and the
chief
AS far as the patrolmen are con-
cerned nothing of a definite nature
has been done by either the mayor or
morning that there would be some
changes in this branch OF the service
very shortly, but he could not say just
who would be removed. George Can
will lose out. Chief Jenkins has Sc
lected Rufus Frazier for his position.
Frazier will report for duty within the
next few days at the latest.
BOyles Good Man.
In the appointment of Boyles, the
head of the police department believes
he has added mighty fine man to
the detective force. Boyles was con-
nected with the police department for
long time and is at present working
tive bureau. He knows the city from
one end to the other and should be
able to do excellent work.
All changes within the police de-
partment will be completed this week
and-everything should be running like
clockwork by the first of May. Chief
jenkins is devoting a great deal of
time to the changes and is very anx-
ious to complete them, in order to get
right down to business and give the
city the best police force in its his
tory. Mayor Billiard is of like mind as
the chief when it comes to an eff
Gent force and is doing all in his
power to raise the standard of the de-
partment. The position of the mayor
is an aid to Chief Jenkins in his work.
Enforce Anti Spitting Law.
The Anticipating ordinance will be
enforced to the letter. Chief Jenkins
made the announcement this morning.
Discussing the matter, he said: 1.-The
citizens of Topeka are at present en-
gagged in a campaign to stamp out the
white plague As a loyal Topekan,
l can not but be with them in the
fight against consumption. Every citi-
zen should take a like position. The
city has an ordinance prohibiting spit
ting upon sidewalks. TIE measure
has been upon the books for some
time, but as far as I am able to learn
has never been enforced. I propose to

ence. These representatives will meet
in Kansas City April 10. 1t will then
be finally determined whether or not to
retain the American game as revised
by the national rules committee or SUBJ
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1910-04-18

enforce it with all the power at my
command. Medical testimony proves
that disease is spread by the splitting
habit and in many cases consumption
has been contracted in this way. If
this means of spreading the trouble
can be removed, the number of cases
is bound to lessen. shall order mem
bers of this department to warn per-
sons whom they see splitting on side
walks, and If this warning is not heed
ed, to arrest them. When the cases
come UP in court I shall do everything
possible to secure convictions. Four
or five fines will stop the whole bust
ness. L trust, however, that it will
not be necessary for the police to
make a single arrest. I hope every
person will understand the Importance
of the enforcement of this ordinance
and do all they can to help the au-
thorities out
No Riding on Sidewalks.
Another matter I wish to call at
tention to is the habit bicyclists have
of riding on sidewalks. Messenger
boys seem to think the sidewalks were
put down especially for their use They
Sidewalks are for people to walk on
and propose to see that they are put
to this use alone. In the residential
districts children often play on the
which they have a right TO do as long
as they bother no one. Supposing a
little boy or girl was ridden down by
a bicyclist riding on the sidewalk?
Why, there would be trouble right
away. Now, I am not gning to have
anything like this come up. The prac-
tice will have to be stopped and at
once.
After Automobile Speeders.
Automobile speeding must cease in
Topeka also. Every day or so 1 read
in the newspapers that some person
has been killed in ChicorO or Soroo
other place by an automobile going go
miles or more an hour The police
will not stand for anything like that
in Topeka. Automobiles have no
right to endanger the lives of people
by speeding and 1 am going to see
that they do not"

THE NEVADAN
IN DISTRESS

The Nevadan had a narrow escape
from sinking when en- route from HO-
nolulu, shortly after leaving San Fran
cisco. The earliest advices received
in town yesterday afternoon were that
the vessel had lost her port propeller
and was full of water, and this excit-
ed considerable comment among ship
ping people. 1t was subsequently as
certained that telegTaphic advices
had been received by the Merchants
Exchange and the local agents, which
put at rest any fears regarding the
vessels safety.
The Nevadan left San Francisco on
Sunday and met with rought weather
on Tuesday. During the afternoon the
port propeller was carried away and
the vessels hull punctured by the
tail shaft.
Water poured in until it was eigh-
teen feet deep in the vessel and it
was necessary to jettison fifty tons Of
freight to keep the vessel afoat. Five
o'clock yesterday afternoon, according
to a later message, the Nevadan ar
rived in port and preparations were
made to put the vessel into dock and
discharge her freight
