SUIT HAS Been FILED.
Eastern BOndholderS Begin Action
Against Atchison.

There is much speculation around the
state house today concerning probable &C
ton in Atchison's $266. 900 refunding bond
case. Suit by eastern brokers has already
been filed in the supreme court to compel
the city of AtchiSon to take up the bonds
and now there is question as to whether

the AtchiSon county treasurer to make
a levy sufficient to cover the bonds.
Should. the Atchison treasurer refuse to
make the levy as demanded in a letter
by State Auditor.W E. Davis, mandamus
proceedings probably will be filed in the
supreme court. In event it would be
deemed necessary to prosecute under the
criminal provision of the law-whtch at
this time is only vague poSSibihty-the
case would naturally be up to the county
attorney of Atchison county and such case
would be tried in Atchison county, the
home of the defendants and thousands of
miles away from the eastern bond brokers,
who hold the citys paper. Aside from
these features, it has been intimated that
a compromise of the trouble may be pos
sible, since the $266,Oo tax levy, together
with the regular levies. would make the
Atchison taxes unreasonably high. In
event of compromise, it is probable that
the 30 year old bond issue would be taken
care of in a series of annual levies; or

to a renewal of the bond issue a rate
of interest satisfactory to the brokers

SUNDAY AT GAGE PARK
Biggest Crowd of the Season Goes to
Hear MarshalPS Band.

The largest Sunday crowd of the sea-
son was attracted to Gage park by
the sacred concert given by Marshall
band-between five and eight thousand
is the estimate.
Hundreds of Topekans took advant-
age of the cool weather and walked,
many of them taking along their
lunches Others went in autos and
carriages, While on the big Hinkson
auto truck which maintained a T.
minute schedule from the corner of
Willow and ElmwOod avenue adjacent
to Willow park $40 ten cent fares were
collected.
The truck was taxed to its capacity.
1t was actually jammed to the guards;
in fact human beings were packed in
sardine fashion and were holding on to
every conceivable place on the out
side of the motor wagon.
Mr.. Hinkson said today: ION one
trip We carried AZ persons. They al
most fought to get on. There wei e
two on the hood, three on each run
ming board and one on each fender.
There were as many as 200 people wait
ing at one time to board the truck.
They would pile on before the incom-
ing passengers had time to get off.
We began operations at 8 o'clock in
the morning and continued until 10
o'clock at night.
We want the people to enjoy Gage
park and if the street railway compa ny
does not build the line to the park soon
we will get more trucks and see to it
that the people get there.
The members of Marshall's band were
given free transportation in the big
truck. Aside from this motor vehicle
a small omnibus and two carriges did
business from the same point.
The concert was fully up to the Mar
shall standard. The big crowd was de-
lighted with the entertainment. The

expects to finish the line on time-or

In brief the ordinance provides for
the extensions within the city mem

provides that a right-of-way must be
obtained from the county commission
ers over some highway to connect the
Eighth street line with Gage park,
and that the entire line must be COM
pIeted by June 1 1914. The fare to
Gage park is to be five cents each
way. with transfer privileges to all
lines.
The South Topeka poles and wires
are to be in place not later than De-
cember 81, 1914, and work in placing
them must begin by October 1 of that
year The entire line must be COM
pleted, including the bridging of the

BOTH ARE REGULARS.
Topeka POIicewomen Are Appointed
to the Force.

That the policewomen appointed
over a month ago have proved to be
worth the price to the city, and that
the experiment is thus stamped a sue

city commission this morning in con-
firming the appointment of both the
female attaches of the police force as
regular officers.
When Miss Elizabeth \. Barr and
Miss Eva Corning were appointed a
month ago it was understood that the
plan was to be given trial, and the
result canvassed before a permanent
appointment was made. The trial was
to last a month.

the policewomen have been filed,
showing that they have been active.
and that they have been able to do a

Ii 1t Is Fair RingIings Will
Show at Fair Grounds.
Ii Wet, Will Show East of City
Near Cemetery.

1t will depend upon the weather
whether the Ringing Brothers circus,
which comes next Thursday, shows at
the fair grounds or east of the city
near the corner of Sixth and Golden
avenues. If the weather is good the
big circus will be at the fair grounds.
If the weather is bad it will be opened
in a pasture belonging to the G. S.
Golden property. A payment of $40
to hold the alternative show grounds
has been paid to o. n. Himelberger,
405 Fillmore street, to provide a place
for the circus in case the weather is
bad
The Golden avenue pasture, where
the show may be given, lies east of the
cemetery line of the street railway,
and is south of Sixth street. To reach
it Topeka people would have to go to
California avenue on the cemetery
line, getting off where the cars turn
south to the cemetery, and walking a
block east. The pasture is east and
north of the northeast corner of the
Topeka cemetery.
If the weather is good there will be
no difficulty in handling the crowds to
the circus. A double street car track
extends all the way to = the fair
grounds, and an immense crowd can
be handled. But if the weather is
bad, and many people want to go to
the circus, it will mean a lot of grief
for the street railway people in trying
to take care of the patrons near the
end of a long single track line. 1t is
safe bet that the circus people and
the street railway men alike are pray
ing for good weather.
But it has been almost the universal
rule that it rains when the Ringing
circus comes to town. 1t will mean
serious break away from precedent

MUST 0. K. THE GIFT.
Congress Must Give Peary Right to

Washington, July 21.-Congress has
been called upon by President Wilson
for it's formal decision whether Rear
Admiral Robert E. Peary, U. S. N,
retired, may accept the decoration of
grand officer of the Legion of Honor
conferred upon him by President Poin-
caire of France, in recognition of his
arctic explorations.
Admiral Peary, as a naval officer,
cannot accept a gift or decoration from
a foreign nation without congressional
permission. The decoration was turned
over to Myron T. Herrick, American

it to Secretary Bryan. If congress so
authorizes Mr.. Bryan will deliver the
insignia to Admiral Peary.
