IT HAS IMPROVED
Service in the City
of Topeka.
Utilities Commission Expert
Bears Witness to 1t.

Tests made by Frank H. Hanson,
electrical engineer for the public uti1-
tiles commission, show that the phone
service in Topeka has improved to a
considera BILE extent. The recent tests
that the average time taken in an
swering calls has been lowered since
similar tests were made on Septem-
Der and %, respectively.
"a comparison of the most impor
tant features of the tests,'' said Mr..
Hanson, "are as follows: Average
time to answer all calls was 5.4 sec
onds on September 4; "A seconds on
September %, and 4.3 seconds on
November IS. The percentage of the
total number of calls answered in 5
seconds or less was "a per cent, 73
per cent and 81 per cent, respectively,
for the three tests, while the ideal fig
ure is 85 per cent. Similar improve
ment was noted in the number of
wrong connections made and the su-
pervision given to the calls.
''In order to find what is the gen.
era1 opinion regarding the service, I
asked the residence subscribers if the
was satisfactory. The answers
were that the service was satisfactory
in S3 per cent of the cases, not en-
tirely satisfactory in 10 per cent of
the cases and noisy at times in Z per
cent of the cases.

ion of the subscribers show steady
towards the ideal SER

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 19.-Three
persons lost their lives in a fire that
partially destroy, the st. Georsie
hotel early today. Fourteen were IN
jured, of whom an infant, dropped by
it's frantic mother in a flame-swept,
hallway, will die. The hotel was head
quarters for theatrical folk.
The dead are:
MRS. CHARLOTTE HARRINGTON,
whose stage name was Ella Moran, a
vaudeville performer; killed jumping
from sixth floor.
JOSEPH MARTIN, Los Angeles, a
jewelers. clerk; killed jumping from

burns.
R. l. Harrah and Anna Harrah,
vaudeville performers, We're seriously
burned, and jefferson Osborne, an
actor, was burned about the body and
hurt in jumping.
Inc Hames are suppos to have been
caused by crossed wires in linen
closet.
The fire started on the second floor
and was drawn up through the elevator
shaft. It spread so rapidly that those
receive the warning in time, were COM
PEELED to jump from the windows.
Those who lost their lives jumped from
the upper floors.
Elevator Boy a Hero.
Many had miraculous escapes from
death, and perhaps a score or more owe
their lives to the Ieroism of Oscar
Jones, who ran the single elevator of
the hotel, making trips to the sixth
floor and down with the small car
packed with humanity, until the flames
and smoke made further trips impos-
sible.
There were also a number of heroic
rescues by the firemen.
She Jumped to Death.
Mrs. Harrington, who was a member
of a company playing at a local thea
ter. lost her life jumping from the fifth
floor. Escape had been cut off, the
only means having been a single stair
way in the building which was soon
aplaze. She first tossed her 18-montns-
old baby into the net held by the fire
men, and then jumped, but missed the
net and sustained injuries which
caused her death a short time later
at a hotel across the street.

hoped that in no legislative assembly
in which the Progressives had repre-
sentation would there be any submis-
sion to either of the old parties if they
desired to combine the men of the
Progressive party with their party or
ganization.
"I hope we will make it plain to
the people," he said, that it is up to
the old parties to combine against US;
and our Representatives in the state
lie egislatures and in congress are not GO
ing to enter into any deal of any de-
gree for personal advantage with eth
er of the old parties. Let them do
that work.
81 further earnestly hope that in
this state and in al other states the
men elected state senators and assem-
blymen will, at the earliest possible
date, introduce bills embodying all of
the principles in our Progressive plat
form and fight as hard as they know
how to have these bills enacted into

IT IS A GOOD BILL.
Howe of Abilene Would Provide for
Care of Rejected Ballots.

A bill to remedy the present situation
and avoid complications in election
contests will be proposed to the next
session of the legislature by J. W.
Howe, of Abilene, state senator-elect
from the Clay-Dickinson county dis
trict. The bill will provide that all
ballots, held to be illegal by the cleo
tion officers in making the count OF
ballots, shall be sent to the county
commissioners at the same time and
in the same manner as the pollbooks
The ballots then will be opened by the
county boards in the presence of the
county attorney and the representa-
tives of the several political parties
who may desire admission. If, in the
opinion of the county board, any of the
ballots thus thrown out are found tC
be legal they will be counted for the
several candidates.
Mr.. Howe believes that too many
perfectly good ballots are thrown out
at every election, thorough the misun
derstandirg of the election officers.
With such law as he proposes he be-
lieves an end will be made of contest,
and candidates will no longer feel that
they might have been elected if all
the ballots had been counted. With
the present situation as the guberna-
torial contest he believes Kansas has
an example of the need of such a law.

thoroughly inspected and numerous
others partially inspected in the last
year. 1t was stated that the result

Colonel Roosevelt Once More Buckles
on HIS Armor.

New York, Nov. 19.-Theodore Roose-
welt and Oscar 5. Straus addressed
general conference of progressive state
leaders in session here today. This
afternoon the conference was to decide
the question of fusion in elections here
after, with particular reference to sug-
gested fusion with anti-Tammany
forces in New York 1t was Colonel
Roosevelt's first speech since the cleo
ton. He said:
There have been times when it was
said that we were merely a boiling fac
ton of one of the parties, and would
attempt to fuse again with that party.
We will not. In this party organization
of ours, ex-Democrats and ex-RepulT-
cans stand alike. Both of the old parties
represent the same privileges and both
of them stand on the vital issues of
the day shoulder to shoulder, side by
side and it is our business to show the
people that they are simply deluded
when they are privileged to vote under
either of the old parties
Continuing, Colonel Roosevelt de-
clared that he was in the ranks as
man not as a leader. He said that he

Will Quit Service Dec. 3 if

Concordia, Kan, Nov. 19.-The entire
fire fighting force of this city has re-
signed, to take effect December 3, be-
cause the mayor and city council insist
that the members of the fire depart
ment pay poll tax. The designations, as
originally filed, were to take place i'm
mediately, but at the request of the fire
chief, the men decided not to leave the
town without protection against flames.
There has been considerable agitation
of the question of making the members
of the fire department here pay poll
tax, and the men all along have re-
fused to pay it. The members of the
council do not agree on the proposition,
some of them declaring the tax should
be remitted and others that it should
be paid.

THEY STAND BY HIM.
Members of Rev. Beers Congregation
viii Sign Bond.

Reports from Wakarusa and Linn
Creek, where the Rev. w. L. Beers
served as pastor of the Methodist
churches, are to the effect that a bond
much in excess of the amount demand
ed will be forthcoming either tonight
or tomorrow to secure the minister's
release from custody. The preacher is
held under bond in the sum of $1,000 to
answer a charge of having killed his
wife by forcing her false teeth down
her throat. The death occurred at the
GIenwood hotel a week ago.
Late yesterday afternoon the preach
er was arraigned before Judge Robert
D. Carver, of the county court, md
waived a preliminary hearing. His
bond was fixed at $4,000. binding him
over to the January, 1913, term of the
Shawnee county district court. AppI-
cation by members of his churches for
blank bonds was made, and the forms
were forwarded for the proper sigma
lures and certification of qualification.
1t is believed there will be no doubt
that the preacher will be released,
ample security for his appearance in
court being forthcoming
