Less than half century ago the
first railroad train crossed the con-
tinent. Progress in methods of trans
portation have made fast strides since
then. Sunday Calbraith t. Rodgers
completed the first transcontinental
journey in an aeroplane, landing in Los
Angeles. The aviator made the trip
from Sheepshead Bay, Long Island to
the California city. a distance of 4,23l
miles in three days, ten hours and four
minutes of actual flying time, and yet
so greatly developed has become the
art of skimming through the air with
man made mechanism that the world
marvels but little at the feat.

AT APPLE SHOW

The Hood River Apple Show held
last Thursday, Friday. and Saturday
was very successful. In addition to
the valley growers, many outsiders
were here to witness the excellent
displays of the valleys royal apples.
Growers from adjoining districts were
here and all joined in the praise of the
excellence of the pack and the beauty
of the fruit.
Among The displays none were more
interesting than that of little Ann
Shepard, the nine year old daughgter
of K. II. Shepard, editor of Better
Friut. The exhibit contained five
boxes packed by herself. Although
competing with experienced packers,
she took the blue ribbon for the best
individual box of Red Cheek Pippins.

THE WASHBURN PLAY.
History of Dramatic C1ub-Cast for
Thursday Night.

The Washburn Dramatic club pre-
senting 1.-The Girl with the Green Eyes
at the Grand Thursday evening, was
organized by Prof. o. B. Towne, April
IS. 1908, and the first play, Dickens
Cricket on the Hearth was given at
the old Crawford theater April 81, 1904.
It has been the custom of the club to
give a play each year.
Last year the club did not present
their annual downtown play, the last
one before being Polly of the Cir
GUS in which Miss Hazel Larkin and
Mr.. Raymond Ufford took the leads.
The proceeds of this play went tow
ards paying for some new improve
ments upon the college campus. Just
what the club will buy this year is
uncertain. This organization repre-
sents the best talent.
Sometime in May before commence
ment week the club will give one of
Shakespeare's dramas. perhaps "A
Midsummer Nights Dream on the
campus. This is novel with the club.
but it is expected that this open air
presentation will eclipse all others.
The club is giving this play, has de-
parted somewhat from the usual order
of presentations. Heretofore the club
has usually worked along the line of
farce and comedy but 1.-The Girl with
the Green Eyes is distictly removed
from that classification. This four-act
drama, although freakish, is nevertke-
less interesting and replete with action
to the end. yet worked out along the
same line as the other Clyde Fitch
dramas The cast:

parents-Grover L. Dunn, Maud Nc

Wichita Must Have Better Fire Pro-
lection say Inspectors.

Wichita. Kan, April 5.-Wichita
must make extensive improvement to
its water service and it's fire depart
ment, or insurance rates will be rails
ed much higher, according to Charles
E. Eldridge, of the Kansas inspection
and fire protection office at Topeka.
Mr.. Eldridge- and e. r. Townsend,
hydraulic and electric engineer, re-
Gently made an investigation of Wich-
ita's condition in regard to fire pro-
lection. From data compiled during
this investigation they made a report
to the city officials as follows: Water
service is inadequate, the fire depart
ment is below standard. more fire
fighting equipment is needed, more
firemen should be employed, firemen
should be better trained, more pumps
should be placed in service, big
reservoir should be built, every house
should have water meter. The city
should Immediately install fire alarm
system.

GAYNOR FIGHTS BACK.
Saloons Closed Sundays and Women
Kept OF Street, He says.

New York, April 5.-Criticism of the
New York police for the alleged fail
ure to arrest women of the street and
10 enforce the excise law is answered
by Mayor Gaynor in a letter to Chief
Magistrate McAdoo, published here to-
day. Never were so few saloons open
on Sunday, the mayor again asserts, or
the streets SO cleared of unfortunate
women.
THE police commissioners report
Tor last Sunday shows that there were
but "a violations of the excise law in
1878 bar rooms" the mayor declares.
AN unusually close watch was kept on
every saloon in the city, he adds, land
the remaining 10,74S saloon keepers
complied with the law. This statute
was put in force for the first time after
became mayor and has been steadily
enforced" the letter reads, land yet 1
suppose some good people believe the
extraVagant statement that the bar
rooms are wide open on Sunday.
Instead of less than 20 unfortunate
women having been brought into court
and dealt with since Mr.. Cropsey be-
came commissioner, as is being as
serted by persons whose heads are
filled with what they call vice, 1,439
have been arrested and tried, of whom
1857 were actually convicted. But
do not mention this in any note of
exultation or triumph. 1 rather feel
of it as Jesus, the gentle and kind
did when he said to those who brought
the unfortunate woman before Him:
He that is without sin among you, let
him first cast a stone How many
hearts have sobbed over this scene"

FRESHMEN ARE PADDLED.
X. L. First Year Men Must Wear Caps
Is Order.

Lawrence, Kan, April 5.-The
freshmen are being padded this week
at the University of Kansas. The or
der for the wearing of the small skull
caps by the members of the first year
classes was issued April 1 by the stu
dent council of upper classmen. but
there seems to have been more or less
INSTRUMENTATION on the part of the
tyroS.
Several dozen of the freshmen who
refused to put on the little headpieces
were given spirited paddlings in front
of the engineering building this morn
ing. The law school have formed a
coalition this noon to see that all the
freshmen that they may be able to
find wear their distinctive caps on the
campus beginning tomorrow or else
suffer the penalty.
The freshman cap stunt is an old
tradition at K. L. The caps are re-
quired to be worn from the middle of
September up till Thanksgiving, be-
ginning again on April FOOLS day and
continuing until the end of school in
June.
The different schools are distin-
guished by buttons of various colors.
The president of the entire class is al
lowed to don a cap of the same size
but of a pure white.

TALK OF A CONTEST.
Movement to Ask for Recount of the
Votes.

Sometime this week-possibly tomor-
row-the McNeal-for-mayor citizens
committee will get together and make
plans for the probable contesting of the
vote on mayor Tuesday. 1t was init
mated by Mr.. McNeal this afternoon
that in case the committee decided
there was reason for a contest of this
kind, action would be taken in court to
recount the votes.
Although Mr. McNeal will say moth
ing concerning the possible unfafrness
of this last election in which he lost to
Mayor Billiard by a vote of 1884 to 1880
Or a difference of ia votes. it is ru-
mored that many reasons will be ad-
vanced to warrant a recount of the
votes.
The only time in the late history Of
Topeka municipal elections that a vote
was contested was in 1901 when Parker.
the Democratic nominee for mayor,
brought the Hughes vote to court and
in the end won from Hughes by II
votes. Before the contest Hughes had
won by 200 odd votes.
The city commissioners, adjourninS
themselves into a city board of can
vassers, will make the official count OF
the votes Friday of this week. After
the primary election last week the can
vassers' official recount changed nearly
all of the former figures and shifted the
positions of a few candidates.
Are Waiting AnxiOusly.
Although it is not feared that this
canvass will reveal any radical errors
in the count. it will be watched with
great interest by all candidates and
commissioners. The close vote be-
tween T. A. McNeal and J. B. Billiard
and between c. e. Jordan and e. Il.
Stotts is the only possible loophole
for a change.
This afternoon c. e. Jordan, who
lost out by 135 votes to Stotts for COM
missioner, said he would not give up
the ship until after the canVassers'
returns. At the primary canvass Jor-
dan succeeded in snatching fourth
ference between the election votes is
much larger than between the primary
vote, the few changes will constitute
the only hope of Jordan.
The usual action in contestfng city
vote is to bring it through a quo var
ranto. Quo warranto means "by what
right have you got to office-or some
thing like that. McNeal- would bring
the above big words against Billiard
and in defending himself the mayor
would have to prove his right. To do
this a commission is appointed by the
supreme court and the votes recount
ed. The commission hears the evil
dence also
Mayor Billiard is disappointed with
the results-not the outcome-of the
election. He says he is glad to be re-
elected and appreciates the support
given him. but he has figured on at
least a 1900 majority.
81 am rather disappointed" said the
MAYOR this afternoon. az had expected
a majority of from 1900 to 1000. L
attribute the big McNeal gain to the
hard work and energy of his support
ers. l haven't looked into the distr1-
button of the vote. but l know his
strength was through his successful
friends and campaign managers-to
say nothing of his own work.
st am thankful to my friends for
their work in my behalf. l certainly
appreciate what they have done Tor

The press and the public of Paris,
Berlin, New York, Chicago Boston and
other cities where 1.-THE Girl in the

The long runs which 1.-The Girl in the

sprang into prominence with that same
catchy style as made Williams and

BILLIARD is MAN.
|, Continued from Page one.l

In the race for commissioners Stotts
was slated to be the fourth-Miller,
Bone and Tandy were conceded the
first three places from the start. Stotts
was marvelously strong in the First,
Second and Fourth wards. This was
enough to push Jordan out of the run
ming. Jordan is only 135 votes behind
Stotts and he claims that he will not
give up the ship until the official can
vass has been made by the city Of
ficers
Miller ran as usual. Only this time
he went above the 5000 mark. He had
a plurality of SIS votes over Bone the
next highest commissioner. Bone had
a plurality of 218 over Tandy and Tandy
4S3 over Stotts. Below Jordan, Arnold
and Holman and Fink fell out of the
quarter stretch.
Holman's vote was surprise. AL
though it has been known that Holman
had acquired an unusually large NUM-
Der of enemies in his one term as COM
missioner it was figured that he would
draw more than he did in the election.
He was next to the last place with only
,0S0 votes
