Topeka Township i'm Insurrec-
ton Against Shawnee.
Legal Battle Opens Concerning
Old BOlmar Highway.

Topeka township is in instruction
against Shawnee county, and is being
aided and abetted in her defiance of
the constituted authority of Shawnee
county by the state of Kansas
as represented by the state board of
control This defiance is of long stand
ing, but is reaching an acute stage Di-
plomacy, however, has not yet been eX-
hausted, and a conference of the three
parties is slated for this afternoon and
will be held in the territory of the in
surrectos. 1t is impossible to predict
whether this conference will result in
ultimatum or crisis. 1t seems that
if precedent is to be followed, the result
will be an ultimatum, for there have
been many ultimatu ms. Topeka town
ship has always been defiant but some
how things never ultimated.
The trouble is all over the location of
a road. 1t is called the Bolmar road.
AS far back 1908 in the biennial re-
port of the state board of control five
pages were devoted to a discussion of
this road. considerable time prior to
this, the county had taken absolutely
every legal step necessary for the con-
struction- of a road west of the state
hospital connecting Sixth street with
Highland avenue, which is now paved.
Even the stakes were set defining the
exact line and grade of the road.
After this right-of-Way had been Sc
done but the actual building of the
road the land through which the road
was to run was purchased by the state.
1t so happened that the road overseer,
a man named Hill was also an en-
ployee at the state hospital DR.. Bid
die, head of the institution, instructed
him to disregard the county's survey.
This Hill did, with the result that the
road which was built under his super
vision, did not take the county's loca-
ton. but instead, ran north of the
north line of the states property, a
route entirely different, and leaving
those needing the legal road still with
out. service ., .-.. ..-- -s-
The board of county commissioners
have repeatedly ordered the township
to build the legal road but for five
years the township has failed to COM
ply, on the excuse that it does not have
the money. The state board of control
gets in by being opposed to having it's
property cut up by a road, and con-
tending that a right-of-way can not be
secured through state property. The
county holds that the right-of-way was
secured before the land became state
property.

MEXICO'S FOURTH
independence Day Celebrated
at the National Capital.
Biggest Parade Ever Held in
the City a Feature.

Mexico City, Sept 16.-The biggest
parade ever held in Mexico City began
forming early today in celebration of
the nations Independence day. Cold,
drizzling rain caused the flags and
bunting to droop and made marching
over the sodden pavement a dready
business, but it did not quench the hol-
iday spirit. From early morning de-
tachments of soldiers, cadets, students
and volunteers made their way toward
Chapultepec, where the days celebra-
ton began with Speechmaking and mu-
sic and where patriotic utterances of
orators appointed for the occasion
stirred embryo soldiers to excuses of
enthusiasm.
Gen. Victoriano Huerta, the provi-
sional president in full uniform sur
rounded by his staff and accompanied
by many government officials and for
eign diplomats, made short address,
appla uding the patriotic ardor of the
younger element of the population and
calling them the hope of the nation
and worthy sons of loyal fathers At
the hour appointed for the opening of
the civic ObservanceS at Chapultepec
the presidential salute doomed from
the guns of the arsenal. AT the conclu-
sion of the ceremonies the presidential
party drove through the streets. lined
with holiday makers, showering con-
fetti and flowers from windows and
balconies, to the National palace,
where General Huerta prepared to re-
view the parade. A striking feature
of the parade was the presence in line
of upwards of 1 800 students in uniform
and marching with an air of veterans.
Probably not since the centenary pa
rade in the final days of President Por-
firio Diaz has there been seen at the
capital so large a number of men of
the regular army establishments in
line. The artillery, the cavalry and the
foot soldiers numbered thousands and

McWhorter and Newell Marked
They Won't Star, Says Fuzzy

Newell is light sparely built fast
as a flash, elusive as a malloY bug
in wash hole.
McWhorter is heavy, chunky, slow
in starting, and then depending more
on his firmness Of foot and driving
power than his lodging prowess in
escaping tacklers.
Each man is supreme in his own
line, and each coach and each team
recognizes this.
Wherefore the special schooling and
wherefore the prediction that when
Saturday comes both Newell and Nc
Whorter strive as they may, will en-
counter specially built defense, built
with the one idea of holding them.
OUT in the meantime there is ~
- young man named Crump-the
name rhymes with bump-who may
do that thing to Auburn.
And while Georgia's attention Is
concentrated on Newell it is in the
range Of possibilities that Mr.. Harris
might make Southern football his
tory.
It's going to be mighty interesting
to watch.
