found murdered early today in her

horribly battered, presumably with a

to gangsters. Three men who report

These appropriations are recon-
mended for the years 1914-15, except
for few small amounts which will
be allowed to cover a shortage in the
running expenses of 1913 as result
of an insufficient appropriation at the
hands of the 1911 legislature.
After having had the matter under
consideration more than month, the
house ways and means committee has
recommended an appropriation OF
S175OoO for the completion of Me-
mortal hall, dedicated to the veterans
of the Civil and Spanish h-American
wars. When completed the new build
ing at Tenth avenue and jackson
street will have cost the state ap-
proximately 100000.
This building was started nearly
four years ago, after the site had been
donated by the city of Topeka. The
1909 appropriation, however, was
barely sufficient for excavation pur-
poses and a S250,000 appropriation
was allowed in 1911, bringing the cost
of the building up to this time to
about 100000. This year it was ru-
mored. that the appropriation to com
plete the beautiful new marble and
The state auditor, acting on the sug-
gestion of the state architect, esti--
mated that it would cost 100000 to
complete the building in keeping with
the work already started. An appro-
priation of $175,000 has been agreed
upon by both the senate and house
committees and was recommended in
a bill introduced by the house ways
and means committee.
1t now seems probable that but one
constitutional amendment-the recall
will be submitted to the voters in
the 1914 election. The house by a
vote of SO to 54 voted to wipe all con-
stitutionaI amendments from the cal
endar, following five hour fight over

 Arrested.

Fairfield, June 25.-Local police of- flciaIs are sincere in their efforts to run down autoists and motor cyclists who dash through the town without regard to their speed nor the safety of others who have to use the roads. Wheeler brought into town, George Tripp a student at Yale who on Sun day June in Southport Knocked down an Italian resident who had just alighted from a trolley. The man at the time had a child in his arms, the little one also being thrown to the ground but not injured. The man himself was Knocked down and severely shaken up but sustained no broken bones. The motorcycIists was thrown from his machine but quickly regained his seat and raced away His machine number was, however obtained by passengers in the trolley. Policeman Wheeler kept up the search for the young man locating him yesterday. He was re- leased by Justice Bacon Wakeman under bonds of $76 for appearance July $5. This date was fixed to ac- commodate the young man who at the present time is engaged with a surveying gang of classmates of Sheffield and. cannot be present be- fore that date.
 Considerable interest is attached to the outcome of the case of George Pitsipto who was driving Garret Wi nant's machine when it crashed with the Williams car of Bridgeport at the church corner on Sunday. The hearr ing will be held tomorrow morning.. Pdtsipio is charged with reckless driv- ing. Daniel Williams who drove the Bridgeport car has been arrested un- der the same charge.

Cannon street. which has but re- gently been the subject Of discussion in the common council where an ef- fort was made to have 1t become a tone-way'' street. is fast becoming a large and extended garage. Used for the parking of automobiles, both sides of the street are almost constantly lined with vehicles whose owners may be anywhere about the city. There seems to be little respect paid by the owners to the rights of property own CTS in the neighborhood, as they are even driven in front of building en- frances and there left, dead or run ming, as the pleasure of the owner may dictate.
 On one recent occasion it is record ed that an officer of police called upon to request the removal of a car, had to wait over an hour for the return o< the driver. Other persons leaving cars in that street have attended perform ances at local theatres well removed from the district Neither side of the street seems immune from the pest and on Saturday afternoons and even- ings, during the shopping rush, double lines have encountered the entire block between Main and Broad streets.
