THEY MOVE TODAY.
Royal Bakery Goes Into, New
Plant on Tenth.
Most Modern Baking EStab-
lishment i'm Kansas.

Six o'clock this morning, the last loaf
of Thoro- Bread that will ever be baked
in the old shop at 617 Quincy street
was hastily wrapped and delivered to a
driver and the real work of transfer
ing operations from the old stand {"
the magnificent new plant at 101-9-11
West Tenth street was begun.
Tomorrow night at midnight, the
shift of Royal bakers will start the
wheels turning which will furnish
bread to folks in Topeka and vicinity
from the most sanitary, the most mod
ern plant of this character in the state
The new Royal Bakery has been erect
ed and equipped at an enormous ex-
pense and the Alexander Brothers are
to be congratulated upon the compile
ton of this splendid plant. No feature
has been overlooked, no step Sighted
in making the bakery strictly modern
absolutely sanitary and exceptionally
convenient.
The building is fireproof, is splendid
ly lighted and ventilated and is nm
iShed neatly throughout. Practically
all equipment is new, many machines
being installed which facilitate the
handling of bread materials and doughS
and practically eliminate the handling
of bakery products with the human
hand.
The entire structure is used by the
Royal Bakery. There is a frontage of
rs feet and 100 feet deep. The up
per floor will be used for the first OPP
erations in bread making, the sitting

ingredients. The ground floor will &C

basement carefully cemented will be
used for wareroom and storage pur-

constructed with space for two more

The Royal Bakery, under the man.
agement of the Alexander Brothers has
grown from plant on the avenue with
a capacity of $500 loaves, to the ex-
traordinary plant just completed with
q capacity at present of $1,000 loaves d

This institution is being recognized as
one of the big manufacturing concerns
of Topeka. During a year this bak
cry will use two trainloads of flour anu
ship out and sell locally 100000 loaves
of bread beside the pastries and deli
cacieS.
Throughout the entire plans of con.
struction the proprietors have worked
with view of erecting bread baking
plant which will surround the process
of bread manufacture with every Sani-
tary protection. In building the new
plant Alexander Brothers have realized
business and have filed longfelt ne
cessity. They have given Topeka a
worthy institution.
From time to time advertisements
will be made in this paper which viii
go into detail showing the care that
has and will be taken in making Thoro-

MRS. BELMONT STORE
She Is Selling Butter and Eggs
Through Suffrage Stores.

New York. June 22.-Mrs. o. H. p.
Belmont has become a rival of the but
ter and egg trust and the beef trust.
1t becomes known today that for some
days Mrs. Belmont had been supplying
her rich society friends with fresh
country butter and eggs and roasts of
beef from her suffrage stores at Nos.
13 and u East Forty first street.
That the suffrage leader had actually
entered the dairy Dusi@es< and was
even selling fine cuts of lamb and beef
at from to 8 cents pound cheaper
than her patrons. could buy from the
retailers, was told today by Mrs. Bel
mont herself.
A line of smart equipages with coach
men and footmen wearing the smart
livery OF many families of New York 5
rich stood before Mrs. Belmont's suf-
frage headquarters this morning.
II have bought up $4,000 pounds of
fine creamery butter at June prices for
next fall trade said Mrs. Belmont.
''This butter is now in storage
Mrs Belmont told of her new venture
while she was engaged in giving orders
for the remodeling and enlarging of her
suffrage lunch room and the installs-
ton of a refrigerating and storage
plant for the dairy market business.
Il am so greatly encouraged at the
success of my restaurant-we have
dinnered more than $4,000 persons here

perience here to enter the dairy bust

accusation is false. In fact to the
contrary we are protecting the identity

the men fair treatment. The Topeka
car men are entitled to this and it can
be secured through organization.
Already the company has begun to
improve conditions. Stools have been

battles of Prairie Grove, Westport and
others. He was one of the few who

Street Car Trouble With
Unions at Serious Stage.
Railway Man Says He Was Hit
by Missile.
MAYOR BILLIARD is ANGRY
Saws Police Will Prevent Fur
Their Trouble.
Mr.. BramIette Says There Has
Been No Violence.

The brick throwing stage has been
reached in the trouble between repre-
sentatives of the labor unions and the
Topeka Railway company Mayor
Billiard received complaint last even
ing that William Howard. a street car
company employee, was slightly injur-
ed by a brick thrown Friday afternoon
by Ezra Day. a labor organizer.
As result of this first stage of vio-
lence between the street car men and
the union agitators, Mayor Billiard
gives out an order today that all trou-
bles between the union men and the
railway employees must be settled
peacefully. or the police department
will be called out to assist in raising
the white flag.
When the controversy began and af-
ter the union representatives came to
Topeka to establish unioniSm in the
car barns, the mayor received a num-
Der of complaints concerning the de-
tectives from Kansas City who were
watching the federation organizers.
The union men claimed that the street
railway detectives were following them
on their heels whenever they went
over the city.
The mayor was unable to find a city
ordinance that would prohibit a de-
tective. watching a man or men and
nothing was done at the time.
Late Friday afternoon William
Howard, a street railway employee
went to the mayors office at the city
hall and showed a big hole in his coat
where he said he had been struck by
brick. He said it was thrown at him

Kansas City. on Quincy street, be-
tween Eighth avenue and Ninth
street. Day ran Into the Blower House
Annex corner Eighth and Quincy, at
ter he had thrown the missile, said
Howard.
Mr.. Bram!ette's Statement.
Mr.. Sim A. Bramlette. president of
the State Federation of Labor, gave
out the following statement:
Il notice that, 'it is claimed al the
street car barns today by railway Off
Gals and others that the union agita-
tors will make little heedway in To-
peka.' Be that as it NAV it is evident
to everybody that the officials are not
sincere in the statement or they would
not have had the gang of thugs fol-
lowing the organizers that have been
engaged in so doing. So far as the
signed statements that appeared from
employees, that does not indicate any
thing. Mr.. Patten can no doubt Sc
cure such a statement from every man
in the service-for the employees well
know that to refuse to sign. any state
ments that is placed before them would

condition that exists at the home of

Mr.. and Mrs. Clark owned eight chick

one stole four of them. A complaint
was made to the police this morning

the data received from the weather

when other weather conditions are also
favorable.
The suggestion OF Prince Borghese
