MAYOR DENIES IT.
Takes Exceptions to Statements
by Tom McNeal.
Says He Is Not Trying to Break
Down Liquor Law.
"MORE THE BETTER"
Billiard Says He Is Glad McNeal
Is in Race.
Opening Gun of the Campaign Is
Fired.
"MORE THE BETTER

The fight for mayor of Topeka I'M
der the commission form of govern
ment will be the fiercest in years. The
announcement by Tom McNeal that
he will enter the race has given an
impetus to the enthusiasm of the
"drys" and the opening gun has been
fired.
The first stage-the denial stage
was reached today whom Mayor Bill
lard replied to the opening statements
made by Tom McNeal in his first
speech Monday.
Mayor Billiard takes exceptions to
the statements of Tom ALcNeaI to the
effect that the mayor belonged to an
organization that was trying to break
down the prohibitory law. He points
out also that Tom McNeal was not
sincere in his determination to leave
out the customary abuse of candidates
in the coming campaign.
Il notice in the State Journal of last
evening that Mr.. McNeal stated that
as far as he was concerned there would
be no abuse of candidates in the cam
pafgn this spring.
In the same paragraph and in the
same breath my friend Mr.. McNeaI
says that / belong to an organization
that believes in the breaking down of
the prOhibitory law. He follows m
with the declaration that no honest
citizen can vote for me under these
circumstance
Here is what Mr.. McNeal said in his
speech before the nominating commit
tee Monday afternoon:
l wish to say that there will be no
abuse of candidates in the campaign.
1t becomes very vital question when
a man at the head of the city gov

ness Mems League. Mayor Billiard said =:

ATCHISON AFTER ONE.
Delegation Here to Get Branch Nor
mai School.

A delegation of dozen prominent
Atchison men was in the city today in
the interests of the bill introduced in
the legislature asking for the estab-
lishment of additional normal schools
at Atchison, Garden City and Con-
cordia.
With them the Atchison representa-
tives brought a supply of attractive
industrial souvenir booklets, and they
are setting forth the advantages of
Atchison as a normal town. The fol-
lowing men compose the delegation:
Sheffield ingalls,, c. W. Walker. j. A.
Kinney, o. M. Babcock, E. w. Claus
on, w. A. Carlisle, c.. R. Miller, e. H.
Johnson, J. NJ. Chishan and A. L. Da-
Wis.
Sheffield ingalls,. one of the Atchi-
son delegation and president of the
board of regents of the State Normal
schools, said: '-Atchison is very much
in earnest about this question of Sc
curing a normal school. We realize
that there is a real sentiment among
careful students of the educational
system of Kansas for an increase of
the number of normal schools in the
state. There is no question but that
normal schools are essentially local in
situations which draw their greatest
strength from the immediate vicinity
in which they are located. This is true
of the Emporia school. which is
looked upon as the parent normal
school of the state, as we'll as the 9TH
ser two at Pittsburg and Hays City.
"Conceding this fact, it would natur-
ally follow that Atchison affords the
most attractive site for new normal,
of any other city asking for one. With
in a radius of so miles there is pop
ulation of over $4,000. which is over
100000 more than at Pittsburg; 1885,

Dressing Your Hair
For The Evening.

amy Lester in the New York Review
Proper care of the hair doesn't re-
-quire drenching with water and scour-
ing with soap, going around for hours
with soggy hair hanging down the back,
bringing on headaches and coaxing
colds. Indeed. the less soap ard wa
ter used on the hair the better for
alkan ana moisture make the hair dull,
brittle, coarse and dead looking.
1.-The true secret of keeping the scalp
clean and the hair light and fluffy is
the dry shampoo with certain benefi-
cial ingredients. Put in a quart lar u
pound corn meal and four ounces Of
amotone. Shake until thoroughly mix
ed. A beautiful cleansing powder with
a delicate perfume will be the result.
Powder the hair generously. then brush
out thoroughly. This cleanses the scaIn
and hair roots. brings out the natural
color of the hair, makes it soft and
fluffy, and if continued regularly causes
the hair to become long, thick and
glossy, for amotone is a natural hair
grower.
This will supply you with sufficient
shampoo powder to last for months"

Passengers on the Highland Park car
had a slide for life early this morning
on the frosty track from Ninth street to
Eighth street on Madison. The air
brakes were applied but the car slid at
a rapid rate until it struck the switch
at the corner of Eighth and Madison.
The passengers were jostled consider
ably but no one was hurt. The car
staid on the track, although the trolley
was broken, which caused quite a de-
lay.

WILL STRIKE A SNAG.
Tariff Board Bill Not Likely to Pass
the Senate.

Washington, Feb. THE bill to
create a tariff board. which already
has passed the house, probably will be
reported out of the senate finance
committee next Thursday to face the
opposition of practically all of the
Democrats and not a few Republicans.
The most enthusiastic supporters of
the bill are not sanguine of success
and already they are counting on the
probable failure of the measure,
which has the backing of the admin
istratiou. to serve as an incentive for
the calling of an extra session of con-
gress, especially if the Canadian re-
ciprocity agreement should also meet
with the approval of the house and not
the senate
In order to defeat the tariff board
bill, it is said that the Democrats, be-
cause of the congestion of legislation,
would not have to resort to filibuster-
ing tactics if they should stand as a
unit against it,
When the fiscal committee met to-
day it voted to strike out the inquisi-
torial section from the bill, but later
this action was reseinded. There
seemed to be little objection to that
provision which would give to the
board the power to require any indi-
viduals or firms engaged in the pro-
duction, importation or distribution of
any article under investigation to pro-
duce books and papers relating there
to, but majority of the committee
was opposed to the article, which
would require the submission to con-
gress of refusals to obey the sub
poenas of the board. 1t is likely the
first part of the section will be re-
tanned and the provision for reports to
congress eliminated.
The provision of the house bill,
which would enable the board to
gather information for its confidential
use" was stricken out

Insurance the Point Which

night was stormy one. Trouble be-

school buildings.

a phone anyway. He gets enough
salary to pay for it,

son would not consent to the amend

Trouble Over Insurance
The next item which caused friction
was motion made by C. K. Holiday
to the effect that the insurance com
mittee be instructed in renewing GER
tain policies to place them with one
company which has complied with the
demand of the board that a Is per
cent rebate be paid on all policies from
the date of writing.
Gleed: when loss comes, and the
court ascertains the valuation on the
building and finds that you didn't have
a 10 per cent insurance on the build
ing you become a co-insurer. You
have appraised on a fake basis. The
architects say that building is 35 per
time than it was in.'9 when this high
school building was put up. The
valuation should be placed at $s5. 900
instead of $63, 900, as you have it. The
action taken and the demand made of
the companies was absolutely absurd
was based on a fraudulent basis,
which comes very nearly being black
mail"
Magee, chairman of insurance COM
mittee: 1--WE based the valuation of
the buildings on the government
schedule. When We insure on 20
per cent basis of valuation we take 80
per cent of the risk-that is if the
building is a complete loss"
Holiday: IF we follow out any
policy in this board we want TO adopt
it and then stick by it. The only thing
the board can do is to stand back of
the report of the insurance committee.

SUSTAINS FOURCHE
 DRAINAGE DISTRICT

Little Rock, May 2.-The suit brought by R. c. Butler against the Fourche Drainage District, appealed from the Pulaski chancery court, was yesterday affirmed by the supreme court and the validity of the act is therefore sustained. It was contend ed that the legislature did not have authority to create an improvement district including within it's limits a city and territory lying without the city and provide for an assessment of all territory without obtaining the consent of majority in value of the property holders owning property ad joining the locality to be affected, as provided in the Arkansas constitution of 1874.
 The appellees contended that the section of the constitution applied where the district was composed of a city or town, but not where composed of city and adjoining territory. In an opinion by Chief Justice McCul- loch, to which Justice Kirby dissent ed, the act creating the district was declared constitutional and the decis- ion of the lower court affirmed.
