WILL NOT TRY THEM.
City Commissioners Give Up Voting
Machine Idea.

Officially the board of city commission
ers this morning decided not to try out
voting machines at the November elec
ton. The failure of the state executive
council to provide rules and regulations
concerning an election by machine left
the city commissioners without legal sup
port in voting mechanically. Charles w
Hull. manager of the National Voting
Machine company appeared before the
commission and withdrew his offer to
the machines on account of a danger that
the law would not allow the Topeka vote
in case it was CONTESTED.
Manager Hull also corrected the i'm
preston given out at the city hall that
only 999 votes could be registered on one
of the National machines. In a speech
before the commission recently W. f.
Kemper, representing the National COM
pany, spoke on the merits of the Topeka
machine. The commissioners understood
it would register only 999 votes How
ever it will vote 999 times for one cancf
date or 1899 time for the entire ticket.
All fears of the machines not being able
to handle the precinct crowds in Topeka
are dispeled al the city hall following the
announcement of Manager Hull this
morning.

just Building a Chicken House.

James Henderson. colored, needed
some lumber for his chicken house
and coal shed and couldn't find any
thing more suitable than a lot of
grain doors. On account of this, he
was arrested by Detective Frank
Summers Thursday on warrant
which charges him with stealing fif-
teen grain doors from the Union Pa
cifc.
The warrant was issued on a COM
plain that was filed by H. z. Gaines,
special agent of the Union Pacific in
Topeka. Nj. Lamberson is due to
appear in police court to answer to
the charge this afternoon. Mr.. Lam

Lester Clark. motorcycle rider,
has given the police enough trouble
and has been arrested for running
his machine without a muff1er and
with riding, fast and reckless. The po-
lice have received a number of com
plants from people in different parts
of the city who claim that this young
man has no respect for speed limit
or city ordinances of any character
which govern motorcycles and motor
cycle riders.
Many people have complained who
did not know his name but his identity
was discovered and a warrant was is
sued for his arrest. Chief Jenkins ar
rested him.

SENT TO THE poor FARM.
Aunt Jane Davis, Negress. Will Sell
No More Liquor.

Aunt Jane Davis, possibly one of the
best known aged colored women in To-
pela, probably will be sent to the county
poor farm for the rest of her life. The
aged woman has been arrested several
times recently charged with selling liquor,
and when that means of livelihood was
taken away from her has been unable to
provide for her own support.
The woman has been quite a character
in police circles. She has quite a police
record. She owns little property, but
not enough to provide for her needs, and
is a burden on the county now that she
is not earning anything. 1t is believed the
best disposition of her case will be to
send her to the farm. She was adjudged
feeble-minded some time ago and c. n.
Bacon, commissioner of the poor, was ap-
pointed guardian for her estate.

TEACHERS SERVE beer
After Days Work Wait Tables in
Liquor Resorts.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Fully a half
dozen teachers in the public schools of
Washington are teachers during the
day and walters in resorts where
liquor is sold at night. This is the
charge made by r. R Horner, mem
her of the board of education at a
meeting of the board. Mr.. Horner's
charge created a sensation, but he was
sustained by Armand w. Scott, a negro
attorney, who declared that a personal
investigation he had made verified the
accusation. A thorough investigation
will be undertaken.
