complimentary remarks by those who
heard him in the conduct of his cases
and in his speeches before the juries.

ministered to their spiritual needs and
did general missionary work through

Il asked for a broom when l was

this morning.
The trouble is that Kenaper is an
appointee of the governor, not of the
city commission. There was some
trouble when the city commissioners
accused the commissioner of taking
too much active interest in politics be-
fore the spring election.
Then yesterday a bill for type

and two city commissioners voted
against allowing it. They said KEN

and have the bill sent to the city.
The matter has been pending ever

Eighth street demands that the railway
company adhere to its contract, Bone
says. If, when it builds line to Gage
park, it wants to build it by way of
West Tenth street, well and good, the
commissioner declares. But the Eighth
street extension to the city limits
should be made, and also the promised
extension in South Topeka.
Incidentally Bone declares in his
opinion the railway company is liable
for the entire bond instead of the pro-
portion of it representing the extern
sions not yet made. And if the suit is
brought for collection it will be brought
for the entire amount. 1t is likely,
therefore that one of two steps will be
taken. Either a mandamus suit to
compel the company to carry out it's
contract may be brought. or suit to COL
lect the bond instituted

The CITYS SIDE.
Commissioner Bone States His Stand
on Gage Park Line.

The attitude Of the city commission
ers has been utterly misunderstood and
misinterpreted in the matter of the
proposed street car line to Gage park,
according to statements made to re-
porter for the State Journal by Roy L..
Bone, finance commissioner, this morn
ing.
Briefly what the city commissioners
are standing for is the completion of
contract. entered into by the To-
peka Railway company over three
years ago when it secured permission
to make certain extensions that it was
anxious to make. The contract called
for the extensions already built, in
Guiding the Douthitt avenue line, the
Buchanan street line and the Shorey
line, and also for three extensions that
have not been made, namely a three
block extension on South Kansas
avenue, the cross town line on Clay
street from West Tenth to West Third
streets, and the extension of the West
Enghth street line from Clay street to
the City limits-Summit avenue.
The line to Gage park is an entirely
different matter, Bone says, and is be-
ing used by various persons in an eff
fort to blind the public tothe real is
sues in the case.
1.-The city commissioners do not care
where the street railway company
builds its line to the park Bone said.
''They can build by way of Wakarusa
if they want to as far the commission
is concerned. We do not expect, how
ever, to accept a line to the park as a
compromise instead of fulfilling their
contract with the city.
1.-The cross town line does not seem to
be a popular one, and perhaps is the
least important of the three extensions
remaining unbuilt. The West Eighth
street extension is the most important
reaching as it would if built to the city
limits quite scope of territory now
untouched by a carline.''
Bone points out that the Asylum line
turns north at West street to Potwin
and west of Potwin turns west again.
leaving Melrose addition far to the
south. On the other hand the Lownnan
line turns south at Morris and again
leaves the Melrose addition. line to
the city limits as promised would sup
ply serious need in that part of town,
Bone declares. but whether it is ex-
tended to the park or not is a matter
that the city commissioners are not at
tempting to dictate.
I'VE are all interested in a line to

Tandy who was listening to the con-
