STREET WORK IN GOOD SHAPE

The beginning of the stormy
weather which largely stops the work
on the streets finds conditions on the
whole pretty favorable according to a
statement made by Street Commits
sioner Lofgren this morning. The
crossing on North Steuben and
Cherry has been recently com
pleted. Two crossings on North
Lafayette and Pine are in such shape
that only day or two more of good
weather is needed to complete them.
The storm however delays the build
ing of the wall on West First
between Steuben and Garfield which
Mr.. Lofgren had planned to begin
today.

JOHNSTON PLEASED TEACHERS

Superintendent Hughes and the
teachers who heard Dean c. ii. Jonn-
ston of the University of Kansas last
Saturday speak very enthusiastically
of his address. He brought up JUST
what I believe in connection with the
studies in the common Schools" said
Professor Hughes. II have not the
slightest fight against the cultural
studies IN the colleges or in the public
schools for that matter, but l DO reel
that for the students who never reach
the higher schools the emphasis on
the vocational is very desirable. Not
less of the cultural but more OF the
practical is what believe should be
and is the coming influence in our
schools"

DISCUSSED NEED
OF new BUILDING
School Board Talked Of the
Old Problem---Additional
Teacher Granted.

The members Of the sch ol board
at their regular monthly meeting
Monday night gave serious consider
alton to the ever present problem of
inadequate building facilities. They
agreed that something must be done
before another school year. The idea
of using Pioneer only for grade school
work was discussed. Action was de-
ferred until the next meeting.
superintendent Hughes reported
that there were 1875 pupils enrolled
in all the schools at the ED OF the
first month as compared with 1920 at
the same time last year. This figure
does not include the temporarily off
rolrlst Of q which was practically
the same last year The high school
enrolment this year is 240 as COM

to Miss Gordon at the AlcOtt building
where she now has 63 pupils. This
will enable her to properly care for
the seven to ten additional pupils
which are to be taken from Miss Fo-
ley's very much overcrowded room in
the annex. The selection Of the ad-
ditioual teacher was left to the com
mittee on teachers aud salaries.
The Board voted to grant Thanks

day following as holidays. The Sc
lection Of book case to care TO: the
increasing library at the high school

ton by Mayor Beach from
Among Eleven Men

T. c. Swartz who was nominated
for The office of chief of police of
Chanute by Mayor Beach after aR
afternoon conference with the police
committee was confirmed for that
position by vote of the council at
its regular meeting Monday evening
The name was read with that of ten
others that had been submitted for
his considerable n. Mayor Beach
urged that no member vote for the
recommendation simply because il
came as such as he would not feel
hurt If the council favored some
other man. Upon roll call of the
council Hedeen, Nation, Bideau,
Freeman and Johnson voted in fa-
vor of Swartz, and Filson, Stewart
and Hays voted no. The other
names presented by Mayor Beach
were Pendler, Campbell, Braden.
VIM. Beamer, ]. F. Seaver, J. W.
Campbell, Pomeroy, Harp, w. B.
Solomon and Herbert Johnson.
A motion by Nation and Hedeen
was carried that the patrolmen
should not be appointed and con-
frmed at present but that such
other officers as should be selected
should be carried as extras. 1t was
further agreed that Chief Van Sanda
should hold over until the Friday
evening meeting of the council by
which time Swartz would have ST.
cured his bond and thus be
ready to qualify for the Office to
which he has been appointed.

parlment, the designations not only

Floyd Vorpe, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Eugene Vorpe of 1917 S.
Evergreen, has returned home after

RESIGNATION IS
IN MAYORS HANDS
Chief Of Police Van Sandt
Will Retire Many Appli-
cants for His Position.

Mayor S. E. Beach is very
busy man nowadays. 1t he is on
the street he can hardly go a block
without being stopped by some man
who wants tue responsibilities of
the chief of police of Chanute either
for himself or friend. If he is at
home the requests come in over the
telephone. The applications for
position seem to come from all
classes of men without regard to
age, race or previous conditi of
servitude. The cause for this agita-
ton is the fact that Chief of Police
ST.. Van Sandt yesterday after
noon handed in his resignation from
that office. The action was taken
as the direct result of the criticism
directed against the police depart
ment by the members of the coun-
Gil at their meeting last Monday
evening. Chief Van Sandt how
ever IN resigning does SO without
any resentment toward any one as
he recognizes that nothing has been
charged against his personal integ'
rity.
Mayor Beach has as yet selected
no successor for Chief Van Sandt
who will hold on until new man IS
annointed and confirmed bv the
council. The mayor has however
been consulting with the members
of the police committee ana
bnsiness men IN regard to the
matter. 1t is probable that he Will
he able to nominate man for the
place by the time the council meet
ing Monday night. According 10
the ty ordinance the members OF
nolice force must change with the
head of the department. The chief
is author zed to name his assistants
who must be confirmed by the
mayor and chairman of the police
committee.

READING OF FICTION INCREASES

The total number of books eX
changed at the city library during
the month Of October was 2097 as
compared with 1851 in october a year
ago. The greatest increase over last
year was in the fiction books as 1851
were exchanged last month in con-
trast with 1l65 in October 1910. The
non fiction this year were 32l and last
year 22S. On the other hand the
number of juvenile books exchanged
last moHth was less than for 1910 the
figures being 415 and 55S respectively.
The librarians report howsfurther
that 1O4 books were purchased last
month which is the largest number
since June. Ten books, chiefly
fiction, were received as a gift from
Mrs. l.. Rosenthal and one pamphlet
from Mrs. G. l. Williams during the
month. Forty new cards were issued
which though not radically greater
than recent months is yet the largest
number issued since March. A large

ELECT ON FOR PARK
th1 WATER BONDS
Suggestion That Both PROPOSE
tons be Submitted at the
Same Election.

That the ordinance setting the
date for the election to vote bonds
for the purchase of Jones Grove
and the fairgrounds with the adj join-
ing three and a half blocks fronting
on Ashby for park sites will be
introduced at the meeting of council
next Friday night seems certain
from the report of chairman Johnson
and councilman Bideau of the
buildings and grounds committee
Monday night. "The petitions for
paving the streets in front of the
proposed sites are now satisfactory"
said Johnson, "and l am absolutely
satisfied that the city will never
have better proposition for parks.
The committee has worked long
and hard on the proposition and
feels confident that we have the
best proposition that can be offerd.
Filson, chairman of the water
works committee, asked the city
attorney if an election for voting
bonds for improving the water sys-
tenn could be held at the same time
with the park bond proposition.
Upon being assured by Attorney
Evans of the legality of such action
Chairman Fison, Nation and Bid
can all favored a combination elec
ton to save the expense of two
elections. Johnson stated that he
doubted if delay necessary to ar
range for water works proposition
to be submitted to the people would
be satisfactory to those who had
waited long to endorse the purchase
of park sites. "The water com
mittee has been awaiting the setting
of the meters so that we could know
what we wanted to submit" replied
Chairman Filson, "and now that
work is so nearly completed we
would ask for only slight delay,
but however we do not want to
throw anything at all in the way of
the park proposition" Upon mo-
ton of Nation and Bideau the re-
port of the building and ground
committee was accepted, and fur
ther motion offered by Bideau was
passed that the waterworkS and
sewers committee be prepared to
submit proposition by Friday as
to what recommendation it would
make concerning the waterworks
system. Chairman Filson stated |
that the committee would be unable
to report completely at so early
date

NEW CLASS COMPANY
W Ii CONDUCT PLANT
Operations Will be Resumed
Within Two Weeks and
Employ Many Men.

A new company to be incorpor
ated under the laws of the State of
Kansas and to be known as the
Mechanics Glass Company is the
organization which will continue
the manufacture of glass in Chanute
instead of the old Chanute Window
Glass Co. as stated in the Timeselt
yesterday. The new company will
take over the plant of the older
organization under lease but will
have a different set of directors and
stockholders. Frank Bostock who
learned the window glass business
thoroughly in the East before
coming to Chanute will continue as
manager of the new company.
F. 7. Lucas who has been identified
with the factory here since its be-
ginning will be with the new organi'
zation as office man and bookkeePer.
The new company already has
orders on hand for glass and work
will begin by November II.
Seventy six skilled men will be en-
ployed and sufficient helpers to
make total of 172 men. The pay
roll will run from S22oo to $4,000
weekly. The union scale will be
lived up to in all particulars. Re
sponsible people are standing back
of the new company so that it will
be financed and conduct business
safely. As far as marketing the
output of the factory is concerned
the reputation of the goods is so
we'll known IN the Middle West that
on an even break in prices the O..
K. brand can secure the business.
The glass will be sold bv Mr..
Bostock as in the past.
