FAVOR Klein PARK
City Commissioners Pass Ordi-
nance Today.
Not a Dissenting Vote Among
the Members.
READY FOR THE APPRAISERS
Mayor Will Make Appoint
ments at Once.
Try to Spread Benefit Tax on
August Rolls.
READY FOR THE APPRAISERS

the most important step in the pur-
| chase of a park for the people of
the East side was taken by the board
of city on<lissioners this morning
when the ordinance providing for the
appointment of appraisers and the
ultimate condemnation of the park
was passed without a dissenting vote
among the officials. Appraisers will
be appointed by Mayor Billiard imme-
diately. The benefit district has been
named Everything is in readiness
for the preliminary work.
The Klein tract won the toss among
the commissioners. This tract covers
26 acres and is larger than any park
inside the Topeka city limits. The
Dwyer tract was not accepted. The
city feels that the Klein grove is large
enough and after a close inspection it
was decided that the Dwyer tract
would be superfluous grounds we'll
as expensive for the property owners.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Dwyer, who
wished to sell their property, at
tended the commission meeting this
morning and were not pleased with
the action taken by the commission
ers. 1t is likely that a protest will
come from that source. But the gem
eral sentiment on the East side favOrS
the Klein grove and the commission
ers feel that they are on the right
track.
Despite reports to the contrary
spread by the Topeka morning news
paper, the commissioners say there
has been no general effort on the
part of the people of the East side
for the purchase of the Dwyer tract.
1t would cost the city at least $4,000,
officials says, to improve the ground
for park purposes. The Klein grove
is a natural park in itself-and will
cost little money to improve.
An effort will be made by the
board of city commissioners to place
the purchase of the East side park
property owners refrain from regis
tering a myriad of complaints and if
there is no interference with the APP
praisers' decisions the assessments can
be placed on the blotter this sum-
mer and the purchase of the park
can be made possible for the i'm
provement budget next year.
Unless Schuyler Nichols, the owner
of the Klein tract, agrees to turn over
the property to the city Immediately
after the appraisers complete their
work and allow the city to begin work,
1T will be impossible, in following the
course of the law, to make use of the
East side park this year. 1t is hoped
at the city hall that Mr.. Nichols will
allow the city to take charge of the
ground early in the fall that it might
be planted and trimmed for the 1913
season.
The entire city north of East
Tenth avenue and east of Kansas ave-
nue. has been chosen as a benefit dis

ROBBERS SUIT CASES
They Arrive From Denver But Do Not
Solve Mystery.

The suitcases which Lewis Lagrand

teries in Kansas City for which these
sible. These are the two young men
who killed Officer Matthews on the
morning of May 5. at the Union Pacific
depot when he attempted TO talk to
them.
Receipts for these suit cases were
found in the pockets of the young men
after they were arrested by Chief of
Police Morris c. Jenkins. The suit
cases were shipped direct from Kansas
City to Denver by the way of the
Wells-Fargo Express company and
contained their clothing. One of the
suit cases contained a cheap revolver
and some cartridges.
Chief Jenkins and the officers of
Kansas City thought that the suit
cases contained valuable articles #
jewelry and other things which had
been stolen in Kansas City. 1t was
thought that by the recovery of these
articles that number of crimes which
have been a mystery to the police
would be solved as these two men
were thought to have committed many
robberies. Chief Jenkins sent for the
suitcases and they Were delivered this
morning.
Attorney j. S. Ensminger, who rep
resented Lewis Lagrand and Frank
Miller as their legal adviser, received
the keys to the suitcases. He with

The approaching close of the school
year at Grant school which occurs Fiji
day, calls attention to the need OF e
pairs in the building-if not the neeo
OF new building. A sentiment Iof
the latter is fast developing among
the people of the northwest part OF
the First ward. 1t is this part from
which the pupils are sent to the school.
The building was built in 1885. The
late ]. B. Marshall, leader of the Mar
shall band, was the contractor. The
work on the foundation is said to pc
of the best However, in the walls, the
Cld-fashioned soft brick were used the
floors are beginning to sag Cons1d-

and bottom of the wainScot1ng. In
these cracks may be seen the remains
of the mud from the flood of 1903, when
the waters entered the building.
The plas.ering on the wall is begin
ming to crack and fall off. This makes
il impossible to do good blackboard
work in many of the rooms. For in
stead of the modern slate black-boards,
are the walls simply painted black. Of
course the arrangement of the rooms
are not modern. There is no assembly
room. The eighth grade is used for
this purpose.
These conditions were noted by a
visitor who happened in the building.
The matter has never been formally
presented to the school board. Never
theless, it is not unlikely that the nee1
for several improvements viii be real

os the school will take up the propo-
