1t is indeed seldom that one hears
of the Pirate players sitting around
discussing the league race. but that's
what they're doing these evenings.
Since they started their wining streak
the men have become imbued with
confidence and are watching the other
scores closely. They are now but one
game from the 500 mark and are in
fourth place by the margin of an eye,
ash. The Cubs. too, are only a short
distance away and they all believe that
before reaching New York, third place
will be theirs.

FOR fire PROTECTION
Facilities at the Pumping Plant to
Be Increased.

The installation of better fire pro-
and also the installation of an electric
light plant to light the station was
authorized at the meeting of the city
commission this morning. A proposal
of superintendent Jesse Shaw to in
stall a centrifugal pump in one of the
60-foot wells to pump water into the
4S-foot well in an emergency, how
ever, was held up for an investigation
by the city engineer.
Mr.. Shaw pointed out that in an
emergency like the last summer much
of the strain on the big pumps could
be avoided, and their capacity in
creased by placing a large volume of
water in the smaller, and nearest, of
the wells. The matter will be checked
up to the city engineer for a report.
A small amount of additional
equipment in the way of hose and a
nozzle, and a cart on which the hose
can be taken from one part of the
plant to another, was authorized in
the way of additional fire protection.
A new oil storage and workroom

Will TEST LAW.
o. f. Haney. EX-Policeman, Appeals
Case to District Court.

Whether Topeka'S civil service ordi-
nance counts or not is to be tested
in the supreme court of the state. T.
D. Humphreys, attorney for o. F.
Haney, one of the five policemen dis
charged with the change in city adj
ministration, today filed an appeal
from the decision of Judge Whitcomb,
of the second division of the Shawnee
county district court.
Haney had applied for a writ of
mandamus compelling Mayor Cofran
and Chief of Police Hughes to rein
state him on the police force. Judge
Whitcomb SUSTAINED a motion to quash
the writ. ruling that the civil service
law is unconstitutional insofar as it
applies to policemen; that no policeman
can be employed for longer term than
four years, and that the employing and
discharging of policemen rests with the
existing appointive power.

PURCHASING AGENT.
Agitation F'avoring Such an Office Is
Revived.

The matter of a purchasing agent
for the city, in whose hands would
be placed the authority to buy all the
smaller articles needed in the various
departments, which was discussed and
proposed when the commission form
of government first became establish
ed, was agitated again this morning.
Mayor Cofran wants an ordinance
providing for such an agent, presented
to the commission, and suggested that
the commissioner of finance would be
a good candidate for the job-without
additional compensation.
The matter came up when Mayor
Cofran questioned the right of heads
as much as 5 cents without the au-
thority of the commission as whole,
and also questioned their right to sell
without such authority.
1t has been the custom to sell small
articles and also to buy articles need
ed without reference to the commls-
sion. When the bills came in they
always were allowed without question.
Proceeds from sales of merchandise
of various kinds were turned into the
proper funds. The mayor thinks such
practices ought to stop.
For example, in the electric light
department poles that the city has
no use for have been sold, and many
while in the park department, Porter
declared he has been selling duck
eggs for some time. Other depart
ments also have been buying and sell
ing-always small things, however,
without reference to the commission
as a whole.
ST believe a purchasing agent with
authority to buy and sell articles up
to certain value, would be a good
thing. 1t would relieve the necessity
for checking all the infinite detail up
to the commission, and would comply
with the law" the mayor said.
An ordinance carrying out his
wishes probably will be drawn soon
and will be presented to the city COM
mission.

CITY GIVES UP FIGHT.
Decided That Billboards Not Public
Nuisance Under Law.

The city has given up the fight
against billboards, in accordance with
the recommendations of City Attorney
w. c. Ralston made to the city COM
mission this morning. BiHboards are
not a public nuisance, the city attor-
ney declares has been the comprehen-
sive judgment of the court, therefore
there is little more that can be done.
The city attorney in his communi-
cation declared that the court had
covered the matter of billboards pref
ty thoroughly in his judgment IN the
injunction suit brought by the city,
and that part of the decision was to
the effect that the height of a bill
board made little difference in it's
standing in law.
1t is useless to continue the fight,
the attorney declared, and the city
commission, taking the same view,
practically has abandoned it.

CALL FOR THE RECORDS
Missouri Utilities Commission After
Railroads With Sharp Stick.

Kansas City, Sept. 25.-The public
utilities commission, pursuing the
hearing of the complaint by the Kan
sas City board of trade that certain
railroads route shipments of grain
from interior points to Kansas City
across the state line into Kansas and
back so they may charge interstate
rates, today ordered the railroads
named in the charge to produce rec
ords showing grain recently carried
into Kansas City, the routes used and
the rates charged.
The commission then adjourned to
meet here again october s, at which
time. the railroads are expected to
produce the information demanded.
Representatives of the AtchiSon, To-
peka & Santa Fe and the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific had testified
that these roads routed grain ship
ments across the line because they
had not adequate trackage facilities
on this side, and not, as charged, to
defeat the objects of the state maxi
mum freight rate law recently upheld
in a decision by the United State SUI
preme court.

There is little doubt that the reso-

hart of Kansas City, who is directing
the meetings, is known to approve it.
The first day of the conference was
enthusiastic. Following the address of
the bishop in the morning, reports of
committees were presented. AT 4
O'Clock Mayor r. L. Cofran welcomed
the delegates, and urged cooperation
of all churches in the fight for prohi-
bition. Bishop Kephart, in his re-
Spouse, commended the stand Kansas
women have taken on the question,
and complimented the feminine voters
in his audience.
ministerial Ethics" was the subject
of Bishop Kephart's address today. He
is an eloquent speaker, and held the
attention of a crowded church Dele
gates are still arriving. The new and
comprehensive plan of financing the
church by the adoption of one general
budget was discussed, the excellence of
the plan being urged by various church
officials. The morning session closed
with an impressive communion serV
ice. The afternoon and evening ses
sions will be devoted to general dis
cussions and the advisa bility of con-
Solidation.
ministerial ethics,'' declared Bishop
Kephart in his address today, means
the science and art of right minister
ial conduct The emphatic word in the
realm of ministerial ethics is the same
as the emphatic word in the wider
realm of ethics in general. That word
is ought implying both a goal to be
attained and obligation to seek its at
tainment. 1t is the expression in man
telling him his duty, in the language
of the scripture, is to seek to be per-
feet. and to assist to the perfection of all
about him. The minister stands re-
lated as a minister to society at large.
He is ethically responsible to all the
race, and therefore can fulfill his mis-
sion only when his sympathies and his
efforts, as far as possible, are as broad
as the race. He is ethically bound to
his entire community.
THE minister sustains an intimate
relation to the church at large. The
division of the church into denomina-
tons. whether a good or evil, has con-
tributed largely to keeping some men
exceedingly small. OF course, it is the
duty of the minister. ethically speak
ing, to be loyal to his denomination
He sustains his most intimate relation
to his own congregation There is
plenty of room for cooperation with
other churches. but not an inch for
competition
