Tomorrow morning at o'clock the
polling places in Topeka will be open
ed to the voters of the city who wish
to register their views on the $145,OOO
bond issue for new bridges. In the
evening at Z o'clock the polls will

feature of the ballot tomorrow-each
bridge has two propositions printed on
the ballots. In one square you vote
on the proposition to build the bridges.
In another you vote on the bond issue
Tor this bridge. In other words if
you wish to vote favoring a bridge it
is necessary to vote for both sections.
The questions are numbered / to

you place your cross behind Nos. 1 and

either question of a bridge counts
against the bridge.
The voting undoubtedly will be
light. Very little interest is manifest

LED BY A WOMAN
Automobile Bandits Rob jew
eIry Store in New York.
Secure Loot Valued at $1,000 in
Broad Daylight.

New York. Sept. 23.-Led by a wo-
man. automobile bandits rivaling in
t3oldness the taxicab robbers of Paris
End the perpetrators of similar crimes
on the lower East side of New York,
secured $1,000 worth of loot in broad
daylight from the jewelry store of
George Richman, Ill Second avenue
Just across the street services were
going on in the Reformed Episcopal
Dutch church and scores of people
were passing up and down the thor
oughfare, yet so rapidly was the rob
berry committed that no one noticed
anything unusual.
Richman was in his shop stocking
his window with a display of jewelry.
The safe was open and a number of
trays of diamond rings and jewelry
left for repair were lying on a shell
Just back of the counter. An automo-
bile bearing two men in the back seat
and a woman who seemed to be di-
recting the chauffeur, with the dri-
yer on the front seat, stopped at a
Coor below Richman's store. A well
dressed man entered and gave the jew
eler a dirty watch chain to be cleaned.
Richman went to a brush wheel i'll
the back of the store to clean it. The
stranger followed him and the jeWeler
bent over the wheel a revolver was
jabbed into his ribs and he was order
ed to shut up and be quick about
it
A towel was bound across his mouth,
his hands and feet were tied with
4 ieces of wire and with his own belt.
Then he was laid helpless behind a
counter while another man entered
and the pair took 1925 in cash and
more than $4,000 worth of diamond
rings and pendants, a number of which
had been left for repair by their own

with the chauffeur. Mrs. Tobias, a

entered the store just as the robbers
were leaving but thought nothing OF
them until they found Richman bound
and gagged. The engine of the auto
mobile had been kept running at full
speed and the robbers escaped but
Richman was able to give a good de-

City Water Pipes Damaged by
Street Car Electricity.
BOND THE MAINS At ONCE
Topeka Railway Company VIII
Pay Cost of Work.
Mysterious Service Pipe De-
strOyer Is Discovered.

After suffering an enormous loss IN
damages to water pipes for years, the
city finally has decided to take action
and arrange with the Topeka Railway
company a bonding of the city
mains. 1t is stated that the bonding
process will almost entirely eliminate
the trouble with electrolysis- form
of electricity that eats away waTer
service pipes. The details of the new
plan will be formulated by Albert NJ.
Patten, general superintendent of the
railway company and H. p. Miller,
city commissioner, some time TINS
week.
City Commissioner Miller said this
afternoon that he hoped to be able
to report the plan in full to the board
of commissioners Friday morning:
1t is understood at the city hall that
the entire expense of bonding the
water mains and the street railway
rails and poles will be borne by the
street car company. The city VIII
furnish a few copper caps costing only
few dollars. The railway will 10
supervision of the city electric light
and waterworks departments.
Losses Have Been Enormous.
For years the city of Topeka has
be en- baff1ed by the short life of water
service mains. Pipes laid in the ground
b. the best workmanship and with high
class materials have been perforated
and rotted in two years. 1t has been an
endless cost to water consumers. it has
ruined city pavements and has allowed
dangerous leaks to cripple the service.
Commissioner Miller first believed ii
was poor plumbing. He put an or
dirance through the city commission
watching every plumbing detail. No
threads in the joints were allowed to
be exposed. All pipes were ordered
painted. An inspection was placed on
every piece of work.
Still the leaks appeared.
I'VE are positive that electrolysis is the
cause" Commissioner Miller saiS this
afternoon with the bonding of the
mains and the street car rails and
cables we will be able to do away with
large per cent of this trouble. I J
not want to consumers to think how
ever, that this will guarantee them en-
tirely from water service leaks"
Boiling down the technical explana-
ton the cause is this; Current from
the street car rails in attempting to re-
turn to the mega tive current in the
cables follows the water mains to the
service pipes and then darts from these
to the rails or cables of the track above
When the current leaves the pipes. the
damage is done. 1t is called electrolysis
The mains will be connected with the
current in such a manner that the
juice" will not follow the service pipes.
Instead it will leave the mains directly
| to the tracks above.
Work on the bonding will begin soon.

he CAUGHT CROOK.
Rossiter of Rock Island Landed Clever
short Change Artist.

What is considered one of the most
clever catches of a thorough crook seen
in Topeka in a long time was that
accomplished by Chief Special Ohoer
John Rossiter yesterday in capturing
man who. calls himself John Gardner,
and who is believed to have worked a
smooth con" game on Louis F. Thoer-
ner, one of the managers of the new
Hotel PaSo del Norte at Ell PaSo, Tex.
Gardner and Thoerner both were pas
sengers on Rock Island No. 3, the
Golden State Limited, that reached To-
peka yesterday at noon. Thoerner was
busy with some correspondence in the
observation car when a man approach
ed and declaring he had been told he
had time to mail a letter at Topeka,
asked if large bills in place of small
ones could be furnished him.
Thoerner, willing to oblige. asked
what was wanted and was told $50
would do. He produced the fifty and
was asked for so more. which he also
produced. Gardner, or a man who is
believed to have been Gardner, handed
d bundle of small bills in return, slip
ped the money he had received into d
stamped envelope and sealed it up,
slipping into his outside coat pocket
as Thoerner counted the small bills.
The package handed to Thoerner con-
tanned only $32, whereupon the con
man expressed surprise, declared his
wife had given him the money and
offered to go back and get enough,
meantime handing Thoerner a sealed
! stamped envelope.
! AS the train was leaving Topeka
| Thoerner. mistrusting his companion,
/ opened the envelope given him to find
neatly folded tissue paper in place. OF
! mis- bills. The alarm was sent back
from Valencia. and a few minutes later
Rossiter, who had been watching
around the depot, nabbed Gardner. The
prisoner told a muddled story of his
whereabouts, his business, etc, and
when searched was found to have $50
or $50 in money, including a $50 bill
on his person. A warrant has been
/ issued for him.

RED SOX FAvORITE
Betting May Be Two to One
Against Giants Soon.
Four to Five and Some Seven
to Ten Money Now Offered.

New York Sept. 23-Heavy wagering
or the result of the coming worlds
series between the New York Giants
ano the Boston Red Sox has begun IN
earnest. Thousands of dollars have
been posted already both here and in
Boston, not to mention the other ma
jur league cities and the indications are
that before the teams clash in the first
game, sum of enormous proportions
will hang in the balance.
A canvass of leading betters at var
iCus locations Saturday night revealed
the indisputabl fact that the Red Sox
are hot favirites and that the prevail
ing odds offered by their supporters are
five to four.
Men who backed the Giants heavily
last year, chiefly because the strength
ana skill of the Athletics were under
estimated, cannot figure McGraw's men
in any way this year. Well known
brokers and business men who make a
pl actice of betting on sporting events
showed memoranda Saturday night
covering strings of bets on the Red SoX
as long is your arm. In each case those
who backed the Giants secured five to
four or ten to eight with a little ten to
seven now and then.
Prominent layers of odds, bookmak-
era on the race tracks in former years.
have also made the Red Sox odds-on
favorites. A week ago these gam blers
were laying four to five against the
Boston Champions, but they got such a
big play that yesterday it was said that
seven to ten would be on tap this week
and perhaps three to five. In fact, big
SPECTATORS said that it would not be
surprising if they quoted one to two
against the Red Sox by the time the
series begins
