MELLfN AND GRAND
TRUNK COME TO
AGREEMENT
Canadian Railroad Gets Traffic
Rights in New England
MAY EXPLAIN SUSPENSION
President Chamberlain Insists That
Sudden Stoppage of Work Is Due to
Tight Money Market.

Boston, Nov. 12.-Vice- President
Timothy f. Brynes of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad, in
a statement given out at Boston last
evening" admitted that the Grand
Trunk railrad of Canada is negotiat-
ing with the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad for the right
not only to reach Boston and Provi-
dence over the lines of the latter road
but TO carry its business into all the
stations of the entire New Haven sys-
TEN, including the Boston and Maine
road.
This was the important news of the
day as regards the reported intention
of the Grand Trunk to stop work on
the extension from Palmer to Provi-
dence. Little detail regarding the traf-
fic agreement under negotiation by
the Grand Trunk and New Haven
roads was made public, but the mere
fact of such negotiations is regarded
as offering an explanation of the ex-
traordinary decision of the Canadian
of line for the right to build which
it has made a strong fight in Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island, and to
the completion of which it was moral
ly bound by the strongest pledges
that the late President Hays of the
Grand Trunk, who met death in the
Titanic, could give the people of Prov
idence and Rhode Island. President
Chamberlin of the Grand Trunk last
night reiterated the statement that
the temporary stoppage" of work on
the Southern New England was due
to the unsettled money market, caus-
ed by strained European relations
Vice-President Byrenss statement
is taken to mean that the New Haven
road surrenders to the Grand Trunk
traffic privileges of such great value
that the Canadian road is willing to
abandon the rights it had secured to
build in this state and Rhode Island
and develop valuable ocean terminals
at Providence and Boston, leaving a
good deal of the expensive work half
done. There is nothing definite to indi
cate that the construction of the Pal
mer-Providence line, which was re-
garded by Rhode Island people as
means OF breaking the monopoly grip
of the New Haven road on that state,
will be resumed by the Grand Trunk,
If discontinued. With traffic rights
on all the New Haven lines. the build
ing of this new road would be unne-
cessary to give the Grand Trunk more
American outlets.

RECREATION WORK BEGINS
Athletics for Girls In Academy
Hall

The Eagles quarters in the Ayers
block have been found unsuitable for
the active athletic work which winter
recreation involves. The project for
rest rooms has therefore been aban-
doned for the present, and athletics

the work.
The recreation committee is to be
congratulated upon securing Acade-
my hall which is so we'll adapted for
all indoor games and folk dancing.
Glasses in folk dancing and games
will be given to all the upper grade
school children in Bennington. These
classes will meet from 4 to o'clock
afternoons. The evenings will be de-
voted to folk dancing and basket ball
for young women.
On Wednesday evening at 7.S0, this
week, Miss Combs, the physical direc-
tor desires to meet all young women
of the community who are interested
in athletics. II is hoped every young
woman will avail herself of this SPLEEN
did opportunity.

rHE BOSS OF THE BARNARD.

That old red rooster on the stack
Is not so much for style,
But when he crows his cheerful crow
1t sounds about mile
1t wakes the farmer from his snore
This cock alarum clock.
He tumbles quickly out of bed
And runs to feed the stock.
1t bids defiance to that cock -
Far on the other farm
And says to that hawk in the air:
Come down. I'll make 1t warm!'
1t sounds far out across the fields
Where hens roam after corn.
The chickens all come home to roost
Because they hear his horn.
That old red rooster on the stack
Is not so much for style,
But he has all the roosters licked
Around him for a mile.

May not get much to eat,
But for real grit and gumption
You bet he can't be beat. p

For a bona fide booster!
Come, learn a lesson at first hand
From this old barnyard rooster.

HE STANDS PAT
County Clerk Zimmerman viii
Not Accept Levy.
Writes Board Education 1t VIII
Have to Have Sinking Fund.

County Clerk Samuel G. Zimmerman
has again refused to extend the levy
of the board of education unless the
board will correct its sinking 1uno
levy to comply with the law The
ultimatum was delivered by the Clerk
yesterday afternoon in letter IN
which he merely calls attention to Tor
mer correspondence. and declares tnat
the lcvy as made is illegal. The letter
was placed in the hands of the board
of education yesterday afternoon
shortly before o'clock No action mas
been taken by the board, and none will
he taken until the return of President
L. M. Penwell, which is expected late
this afternoon or tonight.
The clerk admits that he has no
AUTHORITY to demand that the board of
education make its levies for general
fund, building fund and interest fund
adequate to cover past denclencles anu
estimates for the coming year. How
ever he points out the deficiencies and
urges that they should be covered as
a matter of public policy. His insist
ence, however, is that me board make
its levy for sinking fund conform.
In this connection the clerk declares
that refunding bonds outstanding ag-
rregate the sum of $196,261, and
quotes the statutes requiring mat
boards of education provide ror the
payment of such bonds by a sinking
fund for each year for the twenty
years previous to their maturity, the
fund to be one-twentieth of the
amount of the bonds. This ne oe-
cIares. the board has failed to do.
Members of the board of education;
seen this morning, declare they VIII
favor mandamus suit olreGteo
against the county clerk to compel him
TO extend the levy made. This suit
the clerk says he is prepared to face:
and believes he can win. A meeting OF
the board may be held tonight after
the return of President Penwe1l, at
which the last action may be discuss
ed and some action on the part OF the
zfTnmernlan's letter to the beard

THE PARTY COUNCIL.
Republicans VIII Have to Hold 1t in
Representative Hall.

The Republicans of Kansas have
been defeated in the first round by
the ever-ready Democrats. Although
this preliminary battle does not count
in the vote, it has caused no little
worry among the ranks of the Taft
Roosevelt crowd. The Democrats have
obtained the Topeka Auditorium for the
meeting of the party council next Tues
day. The Republicans, late in their re-
quest from the city commissioners,
have found it necessary to take Repre-
sentative hall a. the state house. Rep
resentative hall is small for the crowd
of 300 party council MEMBERSHIP Re
rublicans had depended on the Audi
torium.
The Democrats procured the Audi
forum the day after the Baltimore
convention. P. H. Souther, a leading
Topeka Democrat turned the trick. He
saw waere he could provide comforta-
BILE quarters for his cohorts early in
the game and he did it. The city
commission did not object-aren't Bill
lard. Stotts and Miller, Democrats?
The Representative hall will add tic
the confusion OF the party council bat
tie. 1t is going to be a mighty I'M
comfortable fight-whether it is held in
the private office of a country town
lawyer or in an open field.

A BIT TOO STRONG.
To Say No Gas for Heating Purposes
But VIII Not Be Enough.

IT has been stated that there would
be no gas for heating purposes in To-
peka this winter. This statement IS
rather broad, according to local gas
officials today. Although it is admitted
that gas consumers in Topeka should
provide themselves with coal and be
ready at all times to abandon gas FOR
heating it is not believe that during
the entire winter the gas will be made
quate In mild and warm weather
there should be plenty of gas for heat
ing.
1t has been recommended by Mayor
Billiard and other city officials who have
net with gas officials at Kansas City
that gas consumers abandon the use OF
this fuel for furnaces and large heat
ing apparatuses. They believe that
movement on this part not only VIII
prevent suffering from the cold this
winter but will leave an adequate sup
ply for small stoves, kitchen ranges,
CRATES and lights.
'Of course we will have a good supply
at times this winter Manager Ire
leaven of the gas company admitted
this afternoon But we can promise
nothing. I have advised Topeka people
to buy coal for three yearS-and never
was I more sincere than this year.
There is no getting around the fact
you can't depend upon gas for heating
purposes"
1t will be only a short time. agree in
vestigators of the gas situation, until
gas for heating will have to be aban-
doned. For lights, water heaters and
kitchen stoves it should be used for
many years to come.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-08-23

fact that the board of education of
the city of Topeka has outstanding
refunding bonds in the aggregate sum
of $196, that section 593 of the
general statutes of 1909 makes it the
imperative duty of the board of edu-
cation to annually levy a sinking fund
for the payment of these bonds, and
utes of 1909 provides that each year
after the twentieth year prior to the
maturity of such bonds one-twentieth
of the principal amount of such bonds
shall be levied as a sinking fund for
the redemption of such bonds, and all
of the bonds referred to have passed
the twentieth year prior to maturity
In the opinion of the county clerk
the sinking fund levy made by the
beard of education does not comply
with the requirements of section SOS
OF the general statutes of 1903, and
the board is respectfully requested 20
correct its sinking fund levy to com
ply with the law.
The county clerk again calls atten-
ton to the fact that the levy made for
general fund, building fund and inter
est fund are inadequate to provide for
the 1911 deficits and 1912 estimates
for the respective funds, but leaves
to the board the responsibility or
choosing the alternative of making
adeuuate levies or burdening the tax
payers of the city with interest on con-
seouent deficits. 1t was false econo-
nv to give the taxpayers a nominal
levy for the year 1911 and now require
them to pay interest on deficits
amounting to $4,000, and it will be
false economy to continue the same
policy for the year 1912.
Very respectfully,
s. G. ZIMMERMAN,
" clerk.
