Last year this association saved the
merchants of the city more than thirty
thousand dollars on similar PROPOSE
lions. e~
There is now lodged in the city prison
a young man who was very successful
in securing various sums from Topeka
men to assist in the issuing of a Y. w.

up against a number of the merchants
who are protected by the association
with the result that he was not sue
cessful in securing advertisements and
resorted to a more desperate means of
securing money, namely, forging
checks, which landed him behind the

LABOR UNIONS EXEMPT.
From Prosecution Under the Sherman
Antitrust Law.

Washington, June 22.-Congress to-
day faced the question whether union
labor shall be exempt from prosecu-
ton under the Sherman antitrust law.
Conferees on the sundry civil bill had
the question under consideration The
house by a decisive vote insisted upon
the exemption which was sharply OPP
posed by the senate.
After being under consideration for
an hour and 20 minutes the bill was
passed
The senate entered upon the consid-
Grafton of the omnibus public building
bill soon after converting today. AS
reported from the committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds the bill car
ries $23,5SS,5O0, an increase of more
than four millions over the total as it
passed the house. The measure con-
tains authorizations for every state.

ATTACKS SWOPE WILL
A Nephew of the Late Millionaire Pre-
pares to Start Suit.

Kansas City. Mo, June 22.--Felix
Swope of Midway, KY, nephew OF
Colonel Thomas H. Swope, has en-
ployed a Kansas City attorney to at
tack the will of the millionaire philan-
thropist, according to information
made public here today.
Felix Swope is a son of the late John
B. Swope, a brother OF Colonel Swope.
Felix Swope received $4,000 from

less than half the amount received by
his cousins, the children of Mrs. Logan
o. Swope.
AS Colonel Swope had four broth
ers and sisters. Felix Swope contends
that he, as the only son of one OF the
brothers. is entitled to one-fourth of
the estate.

Assessors Have Made Increases
on Real Estate.
Excuse Given That Property Is
Worth More.
PEOPLE UP IN ARMS.
Many Complaints About In,
creased Valuation.
Not Yet Known What Total In.
crease Will Be.

Real estate values in the city of To-
Peka are being assessed this year high
or than ever before and a lot of folks
don't like it. The daily sessions of the
hoard Of county commissioners are ia
ken up with the plants of people who
don't understand why their property
should show a higher figure on the
county books now than it did two years
ago and the commissioners are busy
reminding and trying to convince them
that it is equitable to assess property
higher when it is rated higher in an
ordinarily commercial way.
What the total increase, even by per-
Centage, viii be in this city. over two
years ago, is not known. County As
SCISSOR S. H. Haines says it has not
been totalled and, as it has not been
applied to all the property. but that
where real estate sale values have
shown the greatest growth, he does not
want to venture a guess by which an
approximation of the advance might be
registered.
II only hope" said he. that it will
be high enough for the commissioners
to make some reduction in the annual
TAX levy"
Yesterday the entire board spent the
afternoon driving about town in an au-
tomob1le to look at property of 35 peo-
Ile who bad protested against this
years assessment. On Friday after
room there will be an important meet
ing. fridays meeting will be held to
hear protests against the present as
sesSment of the value of the Knights
and Laiies of Security building, the
National hotel, the Throop hotel and
Gordon Brothers building at Fourth
and Kansas avenue. S. H. HaineS, OS-
car Bischoff, A. T. Daniels and c. O.
Knowles, all of whom participated in
the city assessment, will be present to
discuss the valuation of these build
iIgs.
An increase of more than half a mil
lion dollars over the assessment of
personal property in the eleven town
ships of Shawnee county, not includ-
ing the city of Topeka, is shown by
the assessment for this year, just COM
pleted. In 1909 the personal property
in the county was valued at $3,284.-
$50. This years assessment places it
at $3.S44.510, an increase of $56O,12O.
Following is the assessment by
townships for the two years:

new RATES ARE READY.
VIII Go Into Effect for Express Com
panies July %.

The new schedule of express rates
established by the board of railroad
commissioners, after a thorough and
exhaustive investigation, will become
effective June 23 and new tariffs auth
orizing the reduced rates have been
fled with the commission.
While the reductions are not radical,
they Will result in a great saving to the
Teople Of Kansas. One of the most inn
pOrtant reductions is that ordered on
repairs and castings for agricultural
implem ents; the new rates on parts of
agricultural implements are from so per
cent to 70 per cent less than the old
rates. The heaviest cut was in the
rates ON municipal, township and
school district bonds, amounting to
about so per cent. Heretofore the eS-
press companies have charged the cur
rency rate on bonds shipped to To-
peka for registration. The new rate
VIII be ten cents per 81 900 face value.
Millions Of dollars worth of such bonds
are shipped annually to the state Off
Gals in Topeka. The merchandise rates
have been reduced from 20 per cent to
25 per cent, while a reduction of about
Is per cent has been made in the rates
on general specials, which include such
articles as butter, eggs, fruits, meats,
etc.
The order Of the board reducing the
express rates was made on May "a and
provide. that the express companies
should have the same established and
in effect within 80 days. Immediately
after the order was made, John S.
Dawson, attorney for the railroad
board prepared and filed actions in
the supreme court of Kansas against
each of the five express companies do
ing business in Kansas seeking writs
of mandamus to compel obedience TO
the boards order. Ordinarily the car
riers rush into the federal courts and
obtain injunctions suspending indef
nitely the orders of the board, but in
tl-fs case Mr.. Dawson outwitted them,
and, unwilling to carry the fight to the
supreme court, the express companies
capitulated.
A few typical illustrations of the re-
duced rates are given below:

solicitor is the securing of a subscrip
