the labor vote.
1.-The truth is, the powers of the
mayor are carefully circumscribed by
law. He has no power to aid in the
establishment of factories that he does
not have as a private citizen except
that possibly his position as mayor
may give him a little more prominence
and influence than he would have as a
private citizen. His position as mayor
gives him no power to raise wages and
if he should be elected by votes of Ia
boring men influenced by such a de-
fusion he would be certain to suffer
from the reaction caused by the dis
appointment when the voters found
that they had been deceived.
The Business Qualifications.
IF the various candidates are to ap-
peal to the voters on the ground OF
business qualifications alone, what
consider the paramount issue has no
place in this contest, then Mr.. Billiard
is fairly entitled to reelection. Mr.
Billiard is a competent business man
and so far as I know his business in
tegrity has not been assailed. 1t is not
claimed that he has wasted the funds
of the city and Furthermore there is no
reason to suppose that he is not in
favor of plenty of work and good
wages. Indeed 1 believe that one of
the claims ne makes Is LndL Ic IS the
especial friend of the laboring man.
claim that the doctrines he promuI-
gates are not in the interest of the Ia
boring man but I never have doubted
his business ability or attacked his
business integrity. Topeka has grown
during Billiards. administration. 1 sup
pose on the theory advanced by some
people, that the mayor is responsible
for the growth of enterprises, Billiard
might point wi pride to the magnifi-
cent buildings that have been erected
during his administration.

IF I am elected as mayor l will 80

MOORE CASE FAILS.
Jury Could Not Agree on Answers to
Questions.

The suit of Mrs. Ellen Osenberg
against the estate of John w. Moore.
founder of the John w. Moore fund of
Washburn college, will have to be tried
over.
Judge A w. Dana refused a verdict
returned in her favor Saturday at mid
night because the jury had failed to
confirm their award in their answers to
Sc special questions which had been
asked by the defending attorneys. the
jury had been out since o'clock Sat
urday morning.
The court ordered the jury back to-
day and sent them out again. At 10:45
O'Clock they came in to report they
were unable to agree on these ques-
tions and Judge Dana discharged
them.
The most troubling question was one
asking whether or not Mr.. Moore had
obtained Mrs. Osenberg's signed agree
ment to satisfaction with his will by
undue influence. They answered this in
the affirmative but could not say in
what that influence consisted. Such a
stand, coupled with other similar ones.
could result only in the discharge of
the jury.
This verdict allowed Mrs. Osenberg
S4504 above the three properties deed
ed her by Moore and valued at 81 800.
When the will was probated, she set
I'D claim for $S.050 against the estate.
The probate judge, w. F. Schoch, al
lowed her $5,0S0 including the proper
ties.
Washburn college had been made
chief beneficiary under the will and
was entitled to $4,000 for the estab-
lishment of the John w. Moore fund
for the helping of poor boys and girls
through college. :. Na att al u, they they
bate court and appealed to the district
court where the case has occupied two
weeks time for trial.

This is an Improvement that has long
been needed here. Work has been
resumed on the new coal chutes and
it is expected that they will be ready
for use in a couple of weeks. In
stead of running several cars to the
top of the cbutes at time with the
switch engine, one car at time
will be hauled up by cable with an
electric motor.
The company is also installing a
bath room in the machine shop.
This Improvement was asked for
several years ago by the shop and
engine men, but the request was not
granted. The installation of the
bath room at this time is made nee.
essary by the fact that the men now
employed in the shops, never leave
the stockade, unless accompied by a
guard. As they eat and sleep with.
in the stockade, the company was
compelled to afford them the con.
yenience of bath room.
