HENDERSON WRONG?
DIR. H. E. Lyman Says Laundry Work

DR.. H. E. Lyman of the City Hand
laundry resents the statement made
Sunday evening by DR.. Arthur S. Hen
: derson of the First Congregational
church as being a reflection upon the
laundry business in Topeka.
DR.. Henderson told about a girl who
was found to be in a destitute condi-
tion during the recent severe cold
=weather, and who told a Jewish man
that she was getting $3.50 a week.
which was an insufficient sum to sup
port her properly. Then he added
that the people pay 3 cents for shirts
and cents for collars which are done
up at the laundries, and consequently
should have q right to dictate so that
q low wage would not be possible.
+ AT our laundry" said DR.. Lyman
today, I'VE pay from $6 to SIS a week.
We must have experienced girls to do
first class work. The laundries pay the
best prices of any class of concerns
of which I know.
II have cousin in a dry goods
store in Topeka who gets but $3.50 a
week, and a niece in a dry goods store
who is paid but SIS a month.
RI Our girls come to work ordinarily
at 1880 in the morning and leave at
from $3.50 to s o'clock, according to
the amount of work there is to be
done. On Monday they don't come
until noon, and on Saturday they stop
work at from 1880 to 1 80 o'clock
I'VE have a rest room for the girls
where they can eat their lunch at
moon, and the building is very airy.

KEEP OUT LIGHT PLANT
Utilities Commission Says Parsons
Doesn't Need Another.

The utilities commission, following
the precedent set by the state charter
board, has refused to grant permission
for a new utility to organize and do
business where the field is already oc-
cupied. This was in the case of the
application by the Parsons Electric
Railway & Light company for permis-
sion to install and operate light plant
in that city in opposition to the plant
already in operation. Some time ago
the charter board refused to allow a
charter to a banking company to
establish a new bank in Abilene on the
ground that the banking field was al
ready crowded in that town.
The utilities law gives the commits
sion power to pass on the organization
of new utility corporations before they
can do business in the state

MILLS is HELD FOR TRIAL.
He Is Suspected of Being Purse
Snatcher.

Bert Mills, alias Bert Smith. was 20
day held for trial in the district court
on a charge of robbery when arraign-
ed before Judge Robert Carver of the
court of Topeka. 1t is charged that
Mills took a watch from G. O. Hub
bard, contractor, several days ago.
An effort is being made by the
county officials and members of the
police force to connect Mills with a
series of robberies when Topeka peo-
pie have recently been relieved of val
uables. Among Mills victims are sup
posed to be several women, who lost
their pocketbooks when the young
man appeared.
Recently Hubbard met Mills, who
asked the contractor concerning the
hours of the day. Hubbard was ac-
comm coating and reached for his
watch. Three seconds later Mills was
running down the street with Hub
bards s25 time piece in his hand.
Mills bond was fixed at $500 and
he will be held for trial in the April
term of the district court.

DRAKE STILL ALIVE.
Street Car Conductor Shot by James
Dumford Holding Own.

Joseph Drake. the street car conduc-
tor who was shot Sunday night by
Jan Dumford continues his battle for
life against what is considered a los
ing battle The officers at Christ's hos
pital report that he is holding his own
that his condition is about the same as
on Monday afternoon and that new
complications have been avoided up to
this time.
It was feared by the physicians that
peritonitis would result because a part
of the contents of the bowels had en-
tered the abdominal cavity but this has
been avoided. IF the physicians are
successful in warding off complications
for two or three days his chances
for recovery will increase.
The bullet which inflicted the wounds
and perforarions in his intestines is IN
his abdomen yet. The physicians per-
formed an operation Sunday night and
sewed up the perforations in his intes-
tines. The young mans condition at
serious to withstand further attention
and the physicians did not attempt to
locate the bullet.
The Dumford boys were transferred
to the county Jail Monday and this
morning are docile and repentant. They
have previously born the reputation OF
being bad men and have threatened
the police on numerous occasions. They
trouble and have police records. The
police have been trying for some time
to convict them of crimes which would
stop their practice which was border
ing upon that of desperadoes but have
not been successful.
There is but little doubt but that the
community will be relieved of their
presence for while at least as, even
though Mr. Drake survives the injury.
a. charge of assault with intent to kill
be filed against them and this is pun
ishab1e by a term in the state peniten-
tiary.
The D .mford brothers have began to
realize their plight and are not very
communicative even to the officers Of
the prison. They spend most of their
time in meditation which they have
been unaccustomed to on former occa-
sinns while being held in prison.
