This was the first meeting of the of

The president, in introducing the bust
ness of the day, requested each member
present to respond to roll call, giving con

financial
1t was the unanimous expression that
business in the state was in Furnishing
condition, and the state bankers much in
terested in the success of the State Bank

The main business of the meeting was
then taken up and the following subjects
freely discussed:
Cooperation with agricultural interests
looking to greater and better crop pro-
duction. and a committee of nine appoint
ed with Otto H. Wulfekuhler as chair
man, to follow suggestions of the commit

The associations protective committee
submitted a review of it's work This re-

City Commissioners Plan on
BertillOn System.
City and County Would Join
Funds for Purpose.
POOR CODE NOW IN USE
Topeka Department Has Only

Proposition Before Officials ut
City Hall Soon.
POOR CODE NOW IN USE

A movement is on foot at the city
hall to place the Bertillon system of
criminal detection in the Topeka police
department. The matter will be
brought formally before the board of
city commissioners soon and it is
known that plan of combining city
and county funds will be recommend
ed before the board.
At this time the Topeka police de-
partment has no competent system of
keeping the records of criminals or for
the detection of criminals. Cases con-
tanning photographs together with cir
culars describing hunted criminals are
scattered throughout room in the
police station-but no systematic man
ner of finding clues is apparent.
The Bertillon system includes a
regulation card index system of photo
graphs descriptions and thumb prints
of criminals. 1t is arranged in such a
manner that the entire outlay for de-
lection can be found imm ediately. The
system is used in all of the large cities
in the country and in many cities the
size of Topeka.
Mayor Billiard, who heads the To-
peka police department is in favor OF
the Rertillon code in this city, if the
funds in his budget will pay for it.
Other commissioners admit that some
thing should be done in Topeka to
keep a trace on all police work. 1t is
admitted that scores of bad men have
escaped from this city and have gone
without leaving a track behind them
simply because there was no efficient
method in operation to dictate code.
Nearly four years ago the city con-
templated the Bertillon code but it was
dropped az that time because the city
officials feared that Tope- n was not
large enough to require such an elab-
crate system.
1t is admitted now that the nucleus
for future criminal captures should be
started. With the city and county
forces located near each other it has
been suggested that they combine on
the Bertillon code.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-06-12

100 to 200 per cent and some of the
higher townships will be lowered.
The board also discovered that
household furniture in some town
ships is worth no more than $40 to
$45. There will be a raise here.
Again it is shown that prosperous
farmers who own rich, fertile lands,
own but $40 and SIS worth of i'm
pIements. Some of these farmers will
likely gasp for breath when they dis
cover a 100 per cent hike in their
valuations.
After some of these troubles are dis
posed Of the board will tackle the
realty values in various townships. In
some localities the values seem high
to members of the board. In other
townships they are shockingly low So
Williamsport, Soldier and Auburn
and perhaps a few others will suf-
fer a raise that will put them on a par
with the record of two years ago.
At present the personal property re-
port in Topeka city is being compiled.
1t will be sent to the board by As
SCISSOR Haynes as soon as the work is
finished. Not until then will the eX-
act showing of the county be definitely
known.

HOUSES ARE ROCKED.
Earthquake I'm South Causes the Ne
grOes to Pray.

Augusta June 12.-Distinct earth
shocks were felt here, at Columbia,
S. c., and Savannah, Ca, early today.
Houses were. rocked and the sleeping
inhabitants were roughly awakened
when their beds swayed and moved
several inches. Three shocks were
felt, each lasting about Is seconds.
Little damage was done and no per-
son was hurt.
Here the shocks were felt more dis
tinctly on the hills about the city and
in the residence quarter. In the BUSH
ness section they were less perceptible.
There was considerable alarm among
the negroes and before the last shocks
had ceased many were in prayer.
At Savannah the vibrations were
east and west. Houses there were
rocked slightly swaying pictures and
light furniture.
A peculiar feature of the quake at
Columbia was that persons within
doors felt the vibrations more than
those in the open.

earthquakes today. One began at 1:27

POLICE JOTTINCS.

j. w. Hobbs, who was arrested by De-
tective Voiles on the charge of passing
forged checks several weeks ago has
esta blished a perfectly good alibi and
there is no chance to stick him on the
charges. By giving the names of re-
sponsible persons in Atchison, he will
escape trial on this charge. But he
will be required to answer to the
charges of obtaining money under
false pretence with his friends, Jack
Hummasson and Charles Warner,
whose first trial resulted in a hung
jury. Hobbs claimed to be in Atchi-
son the day the forged checks were
passed on the White House Meat
Market and also that he came to To-
peka that night on a train on the
Santa Fe, which arrived here about
10 o'clock. Chief of Police Morris
Jenkins went to Atchison Tuesday to
alibi and announces that he is salts
fled with the alibi.
With Chief of Police Morris Jenk-
ms out of town on a business trip and
very little doing in police circles, Ser
geant Sauls led raid on the place
conducted by Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Wild
enor at 912 North Polk street. He was
accompanied by Detectives Anderson,
Summers and Voiles. Two cases of
perfectly cold beer were found in the
ice box in the house. The Widenor
family has caused the police consid-
cradle trouble for several months.
Widenor is an invalid but insists on
keeping wet goods around the house.
His wife has been arrested and con-
victed heretofore but it has been nee
essary to parole her that she might re-
turn home and care for her invalid
husband. Mrs. Widenor was arrested,
but released on bond, and will appear
in police court this afternoon to ans
wer to the charge of keeping and
maintaining a nuisance.

Johnson, who created excitement in
the vicinity of the Rock Island pas

BIG LOSS SHOWN

Below Last Years.

Some Farmers List Entire

Others Own Only SO Worth of

THEIR CHICKENS ARE CHEAP

In II months the personal proper
" valuations in Shawnee county out
Sloe the city of Topeka showed fail
ing on OF $167,420. 1t is considered
Dy members of the county board as
another evidence of fragrant incom-
potency on the part of local assessors
and the board threatens to make start
ling raises in the returns from sew
eral townships.
Not only did the territory outside
the city of Topeka show a startling
depreciation in personal property val
ueS, but It is now feared that the city
itself will be unable to overcome the
shortage In fact there is a grave fear
that the city is short of the 1911 show
ing. Figures for Topeka city will not
be available until late tonight or some
time Thursday.
Only two townships in the county
Topeka and Menoken-Show a gain
in personal property valuations over
the record of 1911. In all other town
ships there is a shortage of from S.
o00 to $4,000. Now the board Of
equalization will shake up the figures
and adjust the trouble, bringing the
figures to something like the record of
a year ago.
After shortage of a half million
dollars in the real estate record of
Williamsport as compared with the
1910 assessment. the township now re-
ports a depreciation of more tnan
$4,000 in personal property. Auburn
is off in it's showing to the tune of
100000: Soldier. $4,000; Monmouth,
10000; Rossville. $4,000; Dover,
$4,000: Mission, $4,000; Silver Lake.
$4,000; and Tecumseh little more
than $1,000. Against these alarming
losses-which to the county board
seem unexplainable-is the showing of
Topeka township, which makes gain
of $4,000 in personal property val
ues. Menoken makes a gain of more
than $4,000.
Now comes the shaking up by the
board of equalization. And it will be
a serious shaking up that some of
these townships will receive. There is
no doubt about it. Already members
of the board are sharpening their pen
els and preparing to make some of the
returns look like the examination pa
pers in a correspondence school for
auctioneers.
