TEXT BOOKS
Commission Meets to Consider Quality
of Paper Used.


Plans for ordering a change in the
Quality of stock being used in the
printing of school books, is being dis
cussed this afternoon by members of
the state text book commission which
is in session in the office of state Su-
perintendent E. T. Fairchild. The
meeting of members of the commits
sion was called following statement
by State Printer Austin that the quail
ity of the text books was not in ac-
cordance with the contract.
Some time ago Austin investigated
the quality of the stock used by the
firms which have the contract for
publishing the text books for Kansas
public schools. Then Austin hunted
up a copy of the contract with the
state. He found that the paper used
by the publishers and the paper called
for in the contract was different. In
fact Austin was very certain that the
state was not getting what it was
paying for.
It was as a result of this investiga-
ton that the text book commission
was called to consider the completion
of the contract. Nothing apparently
can be done to remedy the trouble
covering books already published, but
the commission might insist that the
contract be complied with in the flu
ture editions. If the commission finds
that the quality of stock furnished the
state is not in accordance with the
contract. it will probably make an
order affecting future publications.
decision of the commission is not ex-
pected until late this afternoon

WEEKS MARKET REPORT
Hardening of Money World Wide in
Its Scope.

New York Nov. 16.-Irregular price
changes, light dealings and general firm
ness of money were the few outstanding
features of the week in the stock market.
Trading lost none of it's extreme profess
sionaIisIn and public interest remained
apathetic.
The hardening of money is world wide
in its scope, its most Significant feature
being the further advance in the discount
rate of the Imperial Bank of Germany to
6 per cent, the highest quotation in sov-
eral years. Moderate stringency seems TO
prevail in such a remote section of TIE
world as India. where the banks of Born
bay and Calcutta deem it expedient in the
course of the week to advance discounts
The general situation abroad appears to
be more satisfactory in its broader aspects
by reason of the latest developments in
the Balkan war London and continental
buyers of our stocks on a fairly large
scale.
Domestic Industrial and mercantile con-
citions are without material change. De-
mand for steel and iron is slightly below
the high water mark of few weeks ago,
and the copper market continues dull with
indications of an early resumption of ex
ports Granger and transcontinental roads
are being taxed to capacity in their efforts
to carry crop harvests to market and the
lack of equipment continues an element
of anxiety.

WOMEN FREE WOMAN
Female Jury Brings in Verdict of Not
Guilty.

Wamego. Kan, Nov. 16.-The first
jury composed entirely of women ever
impaneled in Kansas sat in Justice of
the Peace D. A. Prunty's court here
Monday and Tuesday, and tried a wo-
man on the charge of stealing four
hens from another woman.
And woman like, after they had
spent three or four hours in talking 1t
over after the evidence was in, they
returned a verdict of mot guilty"
The case was brought to Wamego
from Louisville, a peaceful little viii
lage in this county. Mrs. Anna Raine
had one of her neighbors, Mrs. Nina
johnson, arrested on the charge of
stealing four hens, valued at $3.50.
Both women are white.
A Jury q Her Peers.
AS the defendant in the case was a
woman, it was deemed proper by the
and the defense that she should be
tried by a jury of her peers County
Attorney Emil Bruner appeared for the
prosecution and Tom Palmer for the
defendant. Eight women were sum-
moned and examined before a jury of
six could be secured. The jurors were
the wives of prominent busiess men
and farmers, all being prominent So
cially. The six who tried the case

THE VOTING MACHINES
Mayor Billiard Proposes to Use Them
Next Election.

For some time Mayor Billiard has
been considering redistricting the city
and establishing voting machines; he Is
now determined to take definite action
before the spring elections begin The
executive state committee is expected
to adopt rules legalizing the use OF
voting machines, and the work of re-
districtiag the precincts begins imme-
diately.
This bubble over the state elections
has determined US to make definite
changes, said the mayor this morn
ing In the first place number OF
precincts are larger than the law al
lows; the fourth of the Second, the
fourth of the Fourth, the Second of the
Sixth, the Fourth of the Third, the
first of the Fifth, the second of the
Fifth and several others have between
II and Is hundred voters, instead OF
800 as the law permits.
1T is my idea to increase the size
of some precincts and reduce the size
of others. There are % at present; we
may possibly make %. but not more
than that. l have requested the com
missioner of elections and his COM
mittee to consider this matter very
soon. Captain Titus, H. P. Miller, Roy
Bone and w. G. Tandy have the matter
in hand. Topeka has not been redis
tricted for at least ten years.
When the last election law was pass
ed the women did not have the ballot;
accordingly the number of votes has
materially increased. In my opinion
LOCO voters to a precinct would be
about the right number. We expeI:
to pass an ordinance to this effect"
In discussing voting machines the
mayor declared if they had been uset
at the last election, the result of the
gubernatorial race would have been de-
cided to a certainty in a couple of days.
Voting Machines he affirmed
save expense and worry: they cut
down the precinct board and do away
with the printing of ballots. The fig
ures would be plain, very plain. and
there would be no chance to make a
mistake An amendment legaIizing
voting machines will undoubtedly be
passed -

Russian Pianist December 4.

NJ. Boguslawski, the young Russian
pianist. who will appear at the First
Baptist church December 4, is without
a peer on the American concert stage.
according to De Pachmann and half n
dozen other well known piantsts of
Europe. The musical critics of the
"iven recitals assert that there is no
more brilliant reading of the old mas
tiers than that given by this young
virtuoso. Boguslawski is under con-
tract in Kansas City for the next three
years and he probably will be heard
often in Topeka during that time. His
coming here next month is under the
auspices of one of the organized class
school.
Frank Marshall, one of the best
known musical critics of the west.
writing in the Kansas City Journal of
Boguslawski's last concert said:
Some distinguished foreign players
will be heard here this season, but it is
safe to say that as admirable an exhi-
bition of piano artistry was given by
Mr.. Bogusl9wski at his second annual
recital at the Shubert yesterday after
noon as will be presented by any
pianist presented. One player may
read one number more artistically
than another; one may excel in this
or that quality: one may be better
for this or that reason in an indi-
vidual Offering. But If Kansas City
hears bigger or better than the great
more brilliantly played than the sec
ond Hungarian rhapsody. which were
the features of the BogusIawsSi pro-
gram yesterday-well, Kansas CITY
music lovers are to be congratulated
in advance, that's all.
Nor is this mere effusiveness and
artistic jingoism, because BoguslawsISi
is a local artist. Frankly, this PLAYER
a-ouses all his enthusiasm strictly on
his merits. He is not player who an
peals to the superficial emotions. His
at has a long future before him and
the road still winds far ahead He is
