SANTA FE LABORERS.

Two months ago it was reported by
the State Journal that the Santa Fe
had gone into Mexico to procure fiji
teen hundred laborers for use in track
construction work in the west This
was an error. The Santa Fe went to
Loredo Gateway and San Antonio in
Texas and hired these Mexicans and
did not import them into this coun-
try. The error. a common one in
articles on labor shortage among
western railways, is reflection on
the government bureau of immigra-
ton and labor and the Santa Fe.

Location Controversy Con-
tinues After Election.
Claimed Majority Votes in Dis
trict Needed.

The proposition to change the loca-
ton of the new school house in Shorey.
was defeated at a special election
which was held Saturday. 1t is likely
that the argument will be carried fur
Their and suit will be started in the
district court before the close of the
week. The vote on the proposition
favored the new location but this vote
was not the majority of the votes in
the district. 1t is contended that this
is necessary.
Enoc Marble, one of the men who has
displayed considerable interest in the
affair, this morning threatened to go
to court and ask for an injunction
against the members of the school
board which would restrain them from
locating the new building on the old
site.
A total of 167 votes were cast and
81 of these favored the new location.
The members of the school board pro-
pose to select plans to go ahead with
the work as rapidly as possible that the
new building will be erected and COM
pleted before school begins next fall.
The building will cost about $4,000.

Rev. John D. Zimmerman, pastor of
the Central Avenue Christian church.
made sensational charges against the
city administration during his sermon
Sunday night. In his sermon, he said
that the city administration did not
only fail to enforce the laws but fur
nished bond for criminals. In addition
to that, he asserted that the people of
North Topeka were forced TO submit
to hilarity at Garfield park last sum-
mer which was against their wishes
Tie people of North Topeka pur-
chased Garfield park and save it to
the city for public park The citizens
who voted bonds which were used in
the purchase of this property, had the
interests of the community in their
minds and thought they were doing
something that would benefit the in
terest of all people who live in that
part of the city.
Rev. Mr.. Zimmerman objected to
the park being kept open on Sunday,
but had no complaint to make about
the operations of the amusements
during the other days of the week.
In attacking the city adninistra-
ton, he asserted that Mayor Billiard
claimed that the law was being en-
forced, but that such was not a fact.
He claimed that liquor was being sold
openly in more than fifty places in
the city. and that such places had
advertised their business. He fur
Their stated that the people of North
Topeka were not unanimous in sup
porting the city administration and
that a large number were opposed to
the reelection of Mayor J. B. Billiard.
