BURN THE MORTGAGES.
Robert Tasker, Register of Deeds, VIII
Have Big Bonfire.

In a few days several Thousand mort
cages will be burned by Robert Taslzer,
register of deeds. 1t will be the first
wholesale mortgage fire ever held in
the county
There are thousands of mortgages
on file in the register of deeds office
which are outlawed and have never
been renewed. Some Of them date back
10 or 20 years. Under a section of the
statute, these viii be destroyed by the
register Of deeds.
There arc mal.y farms in this coun-
ty on which mortgages were given away
back in the days Of the panic of SO.
Any number of them are still on rec
ord. although the title was cleared
years ago. A general neglect to re-
lease these mortgages has caused the
trouble. But Taskers plan will settle
this difficulty for all time. To be sure
the documents are outlawed but the
papers are not convenient to keep on
file and the failure OF parties to re-
lease the mortgages might create trou-
bic. SO the equity lawyers will lose an
opportunity for q row when Tasker
starts the coUnty's first official bonfire.
He viii probably go before the COM
missioners Monday and ask for an Or
der to burn the documents.

New York July 14.-The custodians
OF the $1o.000000 Carnegie peace foun-
dation announced today a campaign of
popular education to establish friend
lier relations between the United States
and Japan. The division of intercourse
and education has arranged an ex-
change Ito give to each people better

dence the prosecution intended to adj
duce. He said he knew of ne reason,
judging from the transcript, for the
first Indictment against John J. Nc
Namara and then declared that the
procedure followed in bringing the az
cused brothers to Los Angeles was Il
disgrace upon court.
That brought protest from the pros
ecution and a rebuke from the court.
There is no reason for your making
thar remark, Mr.. Scott" said Judge
Bordwen Il am sorry you made it.
Scott then said that the prosecu-
ton had taken days and weeks to OBJ
tain the views of experts on the eX-
plosion at the Times plant where II
persons lost their lives. He said the
defense wished to make scientific in
vestigation and urged that the trial be
not set before December 1.
Fradericks said the prosecution wish

its duty but thought the best time
for the trial was about September l.

BOYS LOOTED THE HOUSES.
Police solve Mystery of West Side
RObberies.

The police have found the sneak
thieves who have inconvenienced resi-
dents of the west part Of the city all
summer by stealing from their back
porch refrigerators. They also sus-
rect the same thieves did some of the
heavier work of house plundering.
The identity of three OF the boys in
the gang was learned last night when
Harry Grumbine. aged 20, was arrest
ed by Patrolman Palmer and sweated
at the police station by Chief jenkins.
Grumbine is charged with stealing a
watch from F. NJ. Huston. 511 Law

stealing a revolver from Conrad
Myers, a barber of West Tenth street.
Bruce Dusenberry. aged II. and a
boy named Quisenberry, are said TO
have been with Grumbine IN his lar
cenies of yesterday and warrants viii
be issued for their arrest.
Grumbine was sentenced to the re-
formatorv some time ago but secured
a parole. Dusenberry is a ward of
the Juvenile court When questioned
by the chief of police, Grumbine con-
fessed that he. these boys. and others
had constituted the gang for which -he
police have been looking in the west

DYNAMITE TRIAL OCT. 10
Mcnamara Brothers viii Be Arraign-

Namara, the labor leader. and his
brother, James B., viii be brought to
trial October 10 on the first of the 10
murder indictments found as a result
of the explosion which wrecked the
Times building in October of last year.
The date was set today by Judge
Walter BordweIl of the superior cour-
as a compromise between the contend
ing claims of defense and prosecution.
The defense wanted the case delayed
until next December, while the prose-
cution insisted upon trial not later
than August first. AS soon as the case

river district also heapea a few Goals
on Parkhurst's head and the engineer
was busy defending his own record as
an engineer and the work done by the
contractors.
Sinner told Parkhurst and the vis-
itors that he was able to kick three
inch hole in the wall with the toe of
his shoe and that in many places the
base Of the dixie crumbled like dirt
under the pressure of the hand
Why don't you leave the wall the
way it is until after it has been in
spected?" Sinner asked the county en-
gineer. You let thesa men cover
these bad places with fresh cement and
no one can tell the good places from
the bad ones after this is done"
Then Parkhurst replied that dirt
worked into the wall and that it was
necessary to cover the defects at once.
But this didn't satisfy the commission
er. He mentioned his ability to kick
holes in the wall and continued to con-
denim the method of hastily plastering
the work to give it high class ap-
pearance.
Here Charles Wolff of the Wolff
Packing company took q hand
If no one intends to do anything
anout this matter" declared Wolff,
then we might as well allow matters
TO drift along and put a man on the
job who knows his business. Then
we can file our kick"
But Commissioner Simms and Con-
tractor Jones thought this method was
unfair. They argued that the com
plainants in the dixie district should
put an inspector on the jo5 and ap-
prove or reject the work as it was put
in Jones then explained the defects
IN the work by stating that no con-
crete work was perfect. He offered
to prove his statement by one of his
inspectors who was in the room.
After nearly an hour II was agreed
that a test should be made Of the work
at sonpa later date. The contractors
agreed that if the work Of their mixer
did not prove satisfactory at the time
the test is made, that the machine will
be taken off the job.

new BUDGET OUT.
Tandy's Department Would
Spend $4,000 in 1912.
In Street Work Alone $4,000
lis Asked for New Year.
NOT RAISE TAXES.
Commissioner of Streets Dis
agrees With Mayor.
Thinks Last Years Levy Would
Cover 1912 Plans.
NOT RAISE TAXES.

The cost of maintaining the en-
cheering and street departments of
the city of Topeka for the year 1919
will be $4,000, according to the
budget just completed by w. G. Tandy,
commissioner of streets and public
! inproveme
This cost includes all of the operat-
ing expenses, the materials, the sup
plies and the improvements suggested
for the work in the streets of the city.
Compared with last year this budget
is practically the same as the price set
out by the last board of commission
ers. However, Commissioner Tandy
has sliced the operating expenses and
with the surplus money he will pGr-
chase a number of street improve
mentS.
Commissioner Tandy is of the opin-
ion that the taxes in Topeka need not
be increased this year. Mayor Billiard
favored an increase in order to make
all the necessary improvements that
the city might need for years to come.
Then he figured on lowering the taxes
next year.
Commissioner Tandy believes the
taxes called for last year will be suffi-
cient to tide over the work in the mu-
nicipal plan for the year 1912.
Tandy Wouldn't Raise Taxes.
Here is Mr.. Tandy's theory:
Last year the city commissioners
budget $4,000 that was the deficit in
herited from the old city council. I'm
Ger the council form of government the
city was allowed to draw on the taxes
for the coming year and under the
commission form only the tax money
for the current year is allowed for ex-
penditures.
The 1911 budget included the $4,000
deficit of the mayor and council. Com
missioner Tandy figures that the in
creased improvements this year should
not be more than this amount. There
fore he figures that the taxes should
not be raised.
In the city engineering department
this year Commissioner Tandy figures
that $4,000 will cover the entire ex-
pense of the year. This includes sal
aries, supplies and all expenses under
the direct supervision OF the city engi-
neer.
In the street department Mr. Tandy
is figuring on SAC, 900 for the department
proper, ST, 200 for the asphalt plant, and
81 200 each for three compressed air
street cleaners. The Tandy budget in
cludes also repairs on the Melan bridge
to cost about $500 and the relaying
of several blocks of cobble stone pave
ment in the business section OF the
city.
An improvement planned is the pur-
chase of three new street sprinklers-
clearers. Commissioner Tandy expects
to wash the Topeka streets every night
with these notwithstanding them
slick and clean the morning after.

CANE GROWERS CALLED.
Louisiana Planters to Testify Before
Sugar Trust Committee.

Washington, July 14.-Tilts between
Frank c. Lowrey of the Federal Sugar
Refining company and RepresentatlVe
Maltby of New York over the effect OIL
the tariff on the price of sugar, en-
livened the proceedings of the house
sugar trust committee today. Mr.
I.owrey yesterday told the committee
that a reduction in the duty on sugar
would mean cheaper sugar to the con-
sumner, and Mr.. Maltby, quoting prices
and tariff rates for various years, un-
dertook to demonstrate that prices are
regulated only by the law of supply and
demand
Mr. Maltby insisted upon yes" and
mo- answers to his questions and
when Mr.. Lowrey offered explanations
for figures read, intimated that the
witness was being unfair to the COM
mittee and practically refusing to an
swer. Mr. Maltby said that in 1905
Cuban raw sugar was admitted at q
duty of 1.34S cents a pound while the
products from the other countries car
ried a rate of 1855 cents a pound-and
that despite this reduction the price of
refined sugar to the consumers in
creased. Asked by Mr.. Maltby if the
fact that prices of sugar quoted b.
various companies on certain dates did
not suggest that there was an agree
ment between the companies, the wit
ness said so far as the Federal Sugar
Refining company was concerned, there
was no such agreement. He admitted
the advance in the price of sugar ill
the United States during the past so
wears was due to an increase in the
world price on account of crop news
