Refer PARK PERMIT.
City Commission Asks RaIston and
Bone for Report.

When the ordinance granting the
extension to Gage park by way of
West Tenth street, prepared by Albert
Nj. Patten, was presented to the city
commission this morning it was mere
ly referred to the finance commission
err, Roy Bone, and the city attorney
for a report The ordinance, as has
been stated heretofore, provides for
an extension to Gage park to be com
pleted by January L. next in lieu of
all other extensions and the bond for
SIS 900 now held by the city. 1t is
believed unlikely that favorable action
Will be taken on the report.
Commissioner Porter remains firm
il: his attitude for line to the park.
Il don't care where it goes he says,
80 ii reaches the park. | want to see
that line built
Other members of the commission
are willing to waive other promised
extensions provided the park line goes
out Eighth street, or even goes out
Tenth to Washburn or Summit ave-
nues and then north to Eighth and on
to the park. But several of them are
standing solidly against the extension
unless the railway company uses
Eighth at least from the city limits to
the park.
When the railway company secured
franchises for extensions three years
ago this spring and put up a bond for
$15, 200 to complete them, there were
six different extensions promised.
Three of them have been built. There
was the Douthitt avenue line running
from Kansas avenue to Western ave-
nue. on Douthitt, thence south to Six
teenth and west to Buchanan, and
from Buchanan to College avenue on
Euclid avenue. The ShOrey line was
completed as also was the change in
the Country club line from Clay to
Buchanan street west of Euclid ave-
rue.
The extensions uncompleted, aggre-
gatinfi 10 blocks, are as follows: Clay
street from Tenth to Third streets;
Kansas avenue from Eighteenth to
Twenty-first streets, and Eighth street
from Clay street to Summit avenue. =

MARTIN IS BACK.
State Chairman Is Back From WASH
ingtOn Trip.

Henderson s. Martin, chairman of
the public utilities commission, re-
turned today from Washington, where
he attended meeting of mem bers of
the various utilities commissions and
was in conference with the interstate
commerce commission Plans an
nounced some time ago for carrying
out the work of making physical
valuations of railroad properties will
not be abandoned, Martin stated.
The public, however, was not very
well represented at the conference, ;"
said Martin, land at future meetings,
1t will be insisted that public interests
be included in the representation from
the various states. There has been no
disposition to abandon the original
plan of completing the making Of
properties and the work will be com
pleted as soon as possible
Martin believes that the government
will complete the work of compiling
the valuations of railroad properties
in this state. The work was under
taken by the state two years ago
when the 1911 legislature made an
appropriation for that purpose. Valua-
tions of but three roads have been
secured. Under the present plan, the
GATE secured by the state will be fur
nished the government and the inter
state commerce ommisSion will as
sumo the responsibility of completing
the job.
Shortly after returning to Topeka,
Martin left for his home in Marion,
where he will remain for a couple of

CUT DOWN TAXES.
Watch Dog League Promises Interest
ing Meeting Tonight.

The regular meeting of the Taxpay
ers' league tonight promises to be
unusually interesting, the chief sub
ject of discussion being the prospective
city and county budgets for the COM
ing year. OF course on the extent of
the budgets depends the tax levies for
the next year, so the league will go
over the situation pretty thoroughly.
I'VE will be glad to have a good at
tendance tonight" declared w. H.
Kemper. THE meeting certainly will
be interesting"
Steps to go over the prospective
budgets carefully are expected to be
taken, and committees to take charge
of the matter may be named at the
meeting. The league is working for a
total tax levy of $3.50 on the valuation
of 500. the levy of three years ago,
and believes that it ought to be re-
duced to that amount. 1t will mean
quite cut in the levies of both the
county and the city, and perhaps in
the board of education, if it is brought
to that figure. The levy in 1912 was
$1.67 and in 1911 was $1.77.

BOLD BAD BURGLAR.
Unknown Man Leans Ladder Against
Topeka Sleeping Porch.

A bold bad burglar braved ferocious
dogs outdoor sleeping porches, glar-
ing street lights and a shaky ladder
at an early hour this morning in an
attempt to rob an apartment at Ninth
and Clay streets occupied by Miss
Hazel Criswell and her aunt, Miss
Myrtle Allen. Fortunately, Miss Girls
well awakened in time to see the man
climbing over the sleeping porch rail-
ing. With her handiest weapon, d
shrieking scream, she sent the bur
glar down the ladder, ten steps at a
time, and on up a dark alley.
The man procured the ladder from
the back yard of Clarence Miller, liv-
ing next door. and placed it against
the porch railing. The ladder, an ex
tension affair, was in the cherry tree.
The burglar took the top section and
leaned it against the upper apartment
occupied by Miss Criswell and her
aunt. He was just crawling silently
over the high railing when the wo-
men were awakened.
Their screams spread to other
sleeping porches and neighborhood
bedrooms and soon the entire district
in the vicinity of Ninth and Clay
streets was chasing imaginary forms
in dark hiding places. Nothing was
stolen. The burglar left no clues
only a neighborhood of frightened
women and brave determined hus-
bands

KENNETH LEWIS SAFE.
Kansas City Accident Did Not Include
Topeka Boy.

Kenneth Lewis, son of Ike S. Lewis.
state superintendent of insurance, will
probably never receive a more cordial
welcome than was accorded him this
morning when he walked into his ia
theirs office in the state house. Around
the state house. the news had been cir
culated that Lewis was drowned Sun
day evening while boating in the Mis-
souri, river at Kansas City.
Newspaper dispatches told of the
death of Lewis and three companions
at Kansas City Sunday. A young man
of the Topeka boys age and bearing
the same name, was among those who
lost their lives. Many people in the
state house read the dispatches and
there were hurried trips to the insur-
ance commissioner office and anxious
telephone calls to the Lewis home. At
9 o'clock the Topeka Kenneth Lewis
walked into his fathers office and in
answer to the half hundred inquiries
advised the fellow clerks and officials
that he wasn't drowned at all and had
spent Sunday quietly at his parents
home.

LECTURE FOR TEACHERS
DIR. Payne Addressed Them on SUBJ
ject of the Eye.

DIR. d. r. Paine, the eye specialist,
addressed 200 members of the County
Teachers Institute, in the high school
auditorium this morning at 10 o'clock
DR. Paine spoke on the eye-its
functions, anatomy and the philosophy
of vision. He is interesting lectur-
er and was asked to repeat the adj
dress which he made last summer be-
fore the members of the institute.
The doctor opened with an intro
ductory tribute to the eye and the
enormous Importance of the sense of
vision; his second point touched the
function of the eye and the philos-
ophy of vision-compared the eye to
the camera and cited instances how
defects of the eye are recognized by
the brain. He gave a brief sketch of
the anatomy of the eye and a des-
cription of how pictures are formed.
His closing point was hygiene.

OJEDA IS SURROUNDED
Mexican General Cut Off From His
Supply Source.

Douglas, June 23.-Reports that
General Pedro Ojeda, the feders l
commander in Sonora. had surren-
dered after a four days battle at
Ortiz. were denied today by the COM
stitutional junta in Douglas. Official
messages from HermosilIo said the
battle was resumed today. Junta
members assert, however, that Oleda
was surrounded and cut off from his
base of supplies.
Advices received by the junta and
from private sources at Nogales last
night stated that Ojeda had been sur
rounded and handicapped by the
greater strength of his enemy and
steady loss by assertions would be
forced to surrender. The enmity be-
tween Ojeda and the rebel comman-
der, Obregon, has not only caused
Obregon to announce some time ago
that when he had whipped Ojeda
who had beat him several times at
Aqua Prieta, he would have the fed
eral general shot.

TORREz IS IN JAIL.
kienc's Deputy, Alba. Caught War
like Mexican in X. G..

ID. Torrez, who conducted a little
! Mexican revolution of his own on
| the Branner street viaduct about Il
month ago, has finally been landed in
the county Jail; and this after an ex
ceedingly clever capture on the part
| of one of Sheriff Kiene's deputies.
Torrez went on the war path.
Acencion Falcon was the victim of
his wrath. Torrez used a gun. One
bullet from it cut groove along
the right side of Falcons head. An
other put a hole in Falcons left ear.
Torrez fled. thinking that he had fin
ished his enemy for all time. Falcon
was taken to the hospital, more scared
than seriously injured, and has now
fully recovered. A warrant was sworn
out against Torrez charging him with
assault with intent to kill. But Tor
reZ was among the missing.
Sheriff Kiene kept on his trail
however He found that Torrez had
gone to Kansas City. He notified the
Kansas City police, and on Saturday
received word from them that they
had the man he wanted. Sheriff Kiene
sent A. Alba, his deputy that works
with him in the cases where Mexi-
cans are involved, to fetch the pris-
oner home. When Alba arrived at
the Kansas City police headquarters
he discovered that while the detec-
tlVes had picked up Mexican
named Torrez, he was not the right
man. Then Alba and detective went
to the place where Alba had reason
to believe that d. Torrez the would
be-murderer, was working. He was
employed at the place all right, but
d1d not happen to be on the Job that
day. So Alba and the detective start
ed back to police headquarters They
Travelled on a street car and had not
gone very far when Alba made a
flying leap from the car, made II
across the street in two jumps and
pulled a Mexican from another street

been looking. Alba knew his man
and happened to see him making II

that he had given up hope of findIng
him. Alba brought Torrez back 10

ANOTHER RATE DELAY.
Now Commissioner NewIand Will Wait
for New Pump.

No further action toward a reduc-
ton in the price of water will be taken
until the big new pump, part of whio h
reached Topeka today, is installed and
has been tested. Then the matter of
a reduction in rates will be taken up
Commissioner Newland says, and what
ever possible reduction will be made
i At present the com missioner declares
ne believes it would be folly to make
a sweeping reduction in rates when
there might be an accident that would
cost a lot of money and perhaps put
the water department in the hole
before the new pump is installed. IL
the work of installing the pump is ac-
camplished without accident, which is
likely. and everything goes well there
may be a decided reduction later in the
summer
II probably will require a month or
six weeks at least to install and test
the new pump After that it will be
time enough. Newland says, to take up
the matter of reductions in rates.
The new dynamo for the city lighting
plant and three carloads of machinery
for the new city pump reached Topeka
this morning. The work of installation
of both machines will begin in the near
future. There are still about two car
loads of pumping machinery to come,
being about five carloads in all.
AS fast as possible the new machine
~ will be installed, the ne" pump tax
ing the place of both the present pumps
and being used while the present pumps
are being thoroughly overhauled. When
all three pumps are in working order
the CITY will have about twice the
pumping capacity that it now has, and
will leave an opportunity to allow part
of the machinery to rest part of the
time at least, which is much needed.
