HAD NO BRIEF.
Attorneys for Weir City Given Ten
Days to Get Ready.

When the Weir City school of mines
case came up in supreme court this
morning for argument it was found
that the Weir City people who are
asking for a mandamus to compel the
board of regents of K U. to establish
the school at once had no brief
Uncle Jimmy Green, representing
the K. u. regents, was here and ne
was willing to waive the formality Of
the brief and go ahead and argue the
case orally before the court but the
court thought that it might be best TO
have papers on the case and gave the
w cir City people ten days in which
to file a brief
Then the regents will have ten days
to answer 1t will likely be another
month before the case is argued. BIT
the fault lies with the parties seeking
tho mandamus and not the regents
who are accused of delay in the mat
ter of establishing the school

Majority City Commissioners
Against Market Plan.
At Meeting Today Three Men,
bers Object to 1t.
GIVE MILLER ONE CHANCE
Authorize Official to Hunt Good
Location.
One More COnferenc Scheduled
Next Week.

The public market idea was given .
polite setback by the board of cits,
commissioners this morning when three
of the FIVE commissioners argued
against the plan and admitted that
they failed to see any advantage IN
conducting a municipal market place
in Topeka. Although a majority of the
board talked of the disadvantages of a
market. they voted to allow Commits
sioner Miller to find a suitable location
When he reports next week they will
vote on the proposition.
Mayor Billiard and Commissioner Nil
Ter favored the public market. In fact
Commissioner Miller originated the
idea here ana has piloted it through
rather stormy sea- Mayor Billiard is
not throwing his hat in the air over
the plan but he believes that it should
be given a trial.
Commissioners Stotts, Tandy and
Bone are blind to any advantages OF a
market. They argue that it will not
be patronized, that it will not result
in lower prices, that it will mean moth
ing but trouble and grief for the city
as a whole.
The commissioners did not order an
ordinance or decide on a location at
their meeting this morning. Instead
they unloaded the location duty on
PM v-is1=1 him God-sDeed. 1t is
known that tax payers and property
o-'--c.s ~ RL-ct4~a4ly every Iat oriue
location in the city are radically
against the idea. II is reported by
Commissioner Miller that he has been
threatened with law suits and injunc-
lions if he tries to establish a public
market in certain places over the
city.
Therefore the city commissioners
agreed tbs morning that Commission
er Miller should be sent out under a
flag of truce and see if he could pro-
cure a suitable location for the trial
of a public market. After his report
next week the commissioners will see
what they favor in the line of a mar
ket ordinance.
Ike Gilberg, a Topeka socialist and
tailor, appeared before the board and |
talked in favor of the market. He
said it would increase the value of
property adjoining the market. He
insisted that it would benefit the city |
as a whole not only through reduced |
prices, but through the fact that |
scores of farmers would move to the |
city and many would buy small tracts |
just outside the city limits where they /
would raise garden truck.
The first formal meeting on the |
market question was all but favorable /
to the supporters of the plan. If the I
next meeting meets with as much OBJ |
lection, the dreams of many Topekans |
on the market idea will be converted |
into nightmares.
