SAYS THEY ARE UNFAIR.
I. G. Nicholson Complains of Treat.
ment of Negroes by Fair Officials.

I. C. Nicholson, 211 East Thirteenth
street, declares that the State Fair as
ISOLATION is unfair to colored appli
cants for concessions, and urges that
an instance that has come to his per-
sonal attention exemplifies the unfair
ness.
1.-The State Fair association is I'M
fair in it's treatment of colored appli-
cants for concession privileges on the
fair grounds" he says. Il was told
in the secretarys office that it was
the intention of the management to
limit the number of colored stands
to about the number of colored peo-
pie attending the fair, the implied in
ference being that these stands would
cater to coIored people only"
Nicholson says he has personal
knowledge of a colored applicant who
made several trips to the secretary
office seeking a contract for con-
cession, and each time was put off
with an excuse. Finally, he says, the
lot and price were agreed upon, the
money was paid, and the applicant
was told to go ahead with his work.
But when his stand nearly was fin
ished the concession man came along,
demanded to see a written contract,
and that not being forthcoming,
stopped the work. The use of the
ground, he says, was denied on the
ground that it was rented to the man
next to him. The applicant was left,
he declared, with the choice OF NOV
ing to a less desirable location, pay
ing more money or moving off the
grounds.
This was made clear to the seeker
after concession privilege" Nicholson
says, after he had paid for his haul
ing and had four men working half a
day. 1t seems to me, therefore, the
public should be advised and especial
ly the colored people, as many of them
think that all applicants for conces-
sion privileges receive the same kind
of treatment. Such is not the case"

the kind that had ever occurred in the
world. Since then only one or two
more extensive consultations have
been made. / mention this merely to
show that the business of consolidating
large telephone exchanges while main
tanning service is one where there is
not much experience by which to be
guided and where the difficulties are
in each case peculiar to that case. The
change in Topeka was prepared for
weeks in advance and the final 'eut-
over" as it is called, was made at the
earliest possible moment when it was
believed to be practicable. AS it turn
ed out, a few weeks more Of prepara-
ton would have been better. Too
much consideration was given to the
continual demand of the citizens for
single service. The present service is
therefore somewhat below normal, but
it is improving daily and will in due
time be as good as any N the world
far better than Mr.. PankeY was able
to give because each user Will be con-
nected with every telephone in Topeka
and with large part of the telephones
in the United States. The situation is
perfectly illustrated by the history of
the Union Pacific track between To-
peka and Kansas City The old line
was very crooked and its grades were
bad. Mr.. Hartman ordered the line
relocated. regarded and doubled This
was a change which every citizen was
bound to desire. For two years or
more not a train could get over the
road on time. Patrons of the line
Union Pacific and Rock Island pas
sengers and shippers-were forced to
count on being at least an hour late
and very often they were several hours
late. The annoyance was very great,
but the splendid line now serving the
public is well worth the trouble in get
ting it. The Topeka Railway COM
pany to which you refer as m 0del
concern is another good illustration.
have been connected with that prop
erty for twenty-five years or more
and know the facts relating to it. To
have spent the money Mr.. Meyers and
his associates spent much before
he spent it would have pren to carry
the property at a big annual loss The
Topeka of ten years ago was a very
different town from the Topeka of
twenty years ago. To use the Street
Railway company illustration little
further, while Mr.. Meyers was putting
the street lines into good shape there
were many serious Interruptions to the
service. Some lines were entirely out
of use for days. The reconstruction
of such properties never can be accom-
plished without inconvenience to the
public and all that a reasonable critic
can ask is that the necessary money
be spent and the work be pushed as
RAPIDLY as possible. The Bell company
in Topeka ought not to tolerate the
nuisance of a dual system any more
than New York or Boston and it shows
itself to be an up-tO-date city by uni
versally approving the consolidation.
When the new work is done the ser
vice will be equal to that of the best
in the world.

The TELEPHONES
Charles S. Gleed on the Tele-
phone Situation.
''Service to Be Equal to Best
in World"

In connection with Topeka service
the president of the Bell Teleph1n ne
company, Charles S. Gleed, submits
the following statement cove ring the
reconstruction and improvements IN
which Mr.. Gleed uses these gratifyln g
words: when the new work is done
the service will be equal to that of the
best in the world
The Statement.
To the Public:
In connection with certain criticism
of the telephone service in Topeka
following the consolidation of the Bell
and Independent properties wish to
say:
The first Bell installation in Topeka
gave probably as good service as the
best then known. The art was then
but a few years old. What was per-
feet for that day would be 1ntolerable
today. After few years another teie-
phone company was started in Topeka.
While it lived it cost the Bell company
a large part of its natural revenue and
then it failed. The Bell company from
the time its first competitor was out
of the field until seven or eight years
ago did not perhaps do its full duty
as now understood in the way of Civ
ing good service. but the chief reason
was that it was not able to get the
money with which to make the neces-
sary improvements in its plants. The
then president, Mr.. J. R. Mulvane, can
testify to this All over Missouri and
Kansas the Independent companies, by
undertaking to render service at less
than remunerative rates, had ruined
themselves and had also ruined the
natural growing and main tanning pow
err of the Bell company Seven or
eight years ago the parent Bell COM
pany became strong enough to finance
any local company which could not n
nance itself. Then began the rapid i'm
provements of the Bell service in MS
souri, and Kansas. Mr.. Pankey, who
built the last Independent company in
Topeka, was a farmer as you say IN
his case, as with many others, he did
not have the accumulated company
debts to care Tor, but he did have the
accumulated experience of the Bell
inventors and manufacturers to guide
him. Lastly he had no knowledge of
what rates would support the business.
He put in a new plant and for time
gave better service than the Bell COM
pany For the past five years or more
the Bell service has been best. Mr..
Pankey made no money and was most
happy when he was able 90 sell to Mr.
Gary. Mr.. Gary raised money to re
build the run down Pankey plant and
for time he appeared to do Well, out
in the long run he found that he
could make no money on the rates n
his ordinance and was as glad to sell
out as was Mr.. Pankey. On the pur-
chase of the Pankey-Gary property by
the Bell company the latter proceeded
to spend a very large sum of money TO
make the Topeka service what it ought
to be-a single service as good in de
tail as any service in the world This
involved the task of consolidating the
two old systems. About two years ago.
when the Bell consolidated the two
systems in Wichita, the consolidation
was the most extensive transaction OF

o S. Nj. Smith of this city, connect

has just completed a journey through
the southern part of the state, includ

Clay counties where the mysterious
horse disease has been creating the
most disturbance. He states that
about 800 horses have been lost in
that section, with this disease, and
that the government is taking steps
to stop its spread by warning the
farmers as to the care of horses af-
flicted.
According to Mr.. Smith about the
only thing to do when any of the
horses show signs of the disease is to
put all the horses in the barns at
once and feed them only dry feed.
Early cut hay is recommended to
use as feed as much as possible. 1t

LOSS OF RECEIPTS

Pierre, s. D.-The first annual re-
ports to be filed with the state rail
way commission by the roads operat-
ing in this state are those of the
Pierre, Rapid City and North western:
and the Pierre & Fort Pierre Bridge
railway. Both of these show a heavy
falling off of business from that of
last year. The Bridge Railway shows
a deficit of $%9,341.19. Its receipts
are shown as $1,000 less than for
last year with but $500 reduction
in expenses. The Rapid City line.
which shows an Xcess over expenses
of $~45,953.26, also shows that the
receipts over expenses for last year
was $107, 1903. which make a big re-
duction for that branch of the sys-
TEN. This reduction in is
caused by the drouth of last year
which practically cut off any ship
ments out except those of live stock.
and also reduce the shipments in by
lack of cash on the part of the set
tiers.

OVER ELECTORS
SUPREME COURT MILL DECIDE
SUIT BY TAFT MEN PEOBAI-
DAY.

Pierre, S. D.-Argument in the
case OF Gray VS.. the Huron electors
was completed late yesterday. Perry
Loucks. for the defendants, opnec
with a rebuttal of the contention that
the Richards primary is in force,
due to its passage with the emer-
gency. by showing that the legisla,
ture first quashed the bill and only
passed the initiative bill as put UP
to it, which included the emergency
concerning which it had no option.
H.. C. Preston in his argument
contended that the plaintiff would
throw the electors off the ticket and
then stop; that they have shown nc
injury to themselves hence have nc
ground for relief and that the ques'
ton is for political rather than judi
cial determination.
Chairman Sherwood said that the
electors would obey the mandate oil
South Dakota republicans.
S. G. Policy showed that the cour
could not give any possible relief tc
the plaintiff.
Chambers Kellar concluded for the
plaintiff.
Chief Justice Mccoy stated tha'
the court would render its decision
as soon as possible, and it is expected
Saturday or Monday.
