CULPITTS QUITS TOO.
Row Among Orient Receivers Causes
More Changes.

Kansas City. Jan. CIV. w. Col
pitts chief engineer of the Kansas City,
Mexico and Orient railway rendered his
resignation from that position to the
receivers of that railway here today.
Mr.. Colpitts said he had planned to
accept a place with firm of engineers
in New York city. The resignation was
accepted.
No announcement of an appointee to
the vacancy was made.
Mr.. CoIpitts' action is believed to be
a sequel to q shakeup in the affairs
of the railway last month when Ed
ward Dickinson was deposed as gen.
eraI manager and NJ. ]. Kenelley named
in his place. The shakeup was said to
be due to discord among the IL receivers
who have had the railroad in charge
since March, 1912.
Separate receivers were appointed for
the subsidiaries of the railroad COM
pany and for each state through which
its lines run. The receivers appointed
for Kansas and Oklahoma were J. o.
Davidson, Wichita, Kansas, NJ. L.
Turner, Oklahoma City and Edward
Dickinson. Kansas City.

ANGRY AT SIMON
Prof. jackson Says He Favored
Davis Mercantile Co.
Did Not Consult Board of
Health About Case.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 21.-ProfeSSor
H. L. Jackson, director of the food
laboratory at the university, has late
~ had an unpleasant experience IN
nothing. The food laboratory en-
ployees worked nearly all summer
making some tests OF canned goodS
that were intended to be used in the
prosecution of a violation of the pure
food law at Topeka, and then found
that the Shawnee county officials had
allowed the manufacturers at fault to
plead guilty on a minor point of the
indictment, losing the board of health
a chance to establish a precedent to
cover an Objectionable practice.
The Davis Mercantile company at
Topeka was the defendant. The food
had ''reprocessed'' a quantity of can
ned peaches, that is, had taken goods
that had fermented, and put them up
in cans bearing new labels. The case
was laid before the county attorney
of Shawnee county. The board of
health was anxious to have the case
go through because it was anxious to
put stop to the practice of repro
cessing.
Professor jackson found that in the
reprocessed goods the percentage of
tin in the goods was higher than is
permitted in the government stand
ards.
Brand Not Consulted.
A lot or the spoiled peaches were
preserved in alcohol to be used as
evidence in the case, but the assistant
attorney of Shawnee county allowed
the defendant to plead guilty to the
third count, which had to do with the
quantituty of tin in the goods. This
involved no stigma upon the COM
pany, which could not be held respon-
sible for the percentage of tin in the
goods, and nothing was said about the
practice of recanning spoiled fruit.
The board of health would not have
consented to allow the company's
pleading as it did, but the board was
not notified until the case was
finished.

INTERMARRIkGE BILL.
Passed House Today-PrOhibits
White-Black Marriages.

The Kansas house this afternoon rec
commended for passage the Herr bill
prohibiting the inter-marriage of blacks
and whites when the measure was I'M
der consideration in committee of the
whole.
The anti-inter-m marriage bill, by Rep
resentative Herr. came UP in committee
of the whole this afternoon 1t was in
troduced and assaulted by the same
men who fought it out two years ago.
Robert Stone, representative from
Shawnee county, was the first to open
the argument against the bill which
was defeated by a strict party vote
two yers ago. Instead of the spread
eagle speech of two years ago, he sub
stituted an argument against anything
that might be used as an opening
wedge for all kinds of Jim Crow" leg
islation.
He was followed by Representative
Herr. the author of the bill. He re-
GREETED the necessity -rerurnfng the
bill to the legislature. Herr read num-
erous letters from negro educators and
produced a pile of endorsements of the
bill which is close to his heart. He IN
vited a discussion of the issue and Wei
coined the minority to make the Dill a
PARTY issue in the present fight if they
dared.
The Barber county member declar-
ed that for years the negro question
has been the political football for de-
attention of the house members to
the Jack Johnson case and other sim
liar instances in urging the house 10
adopt the measure preventing the in
termarriage of members of the races
Herr spoke for Is minutes. He de-
clared that his bill was not the fore
runner of Jim Crow legislation and
that he would oppose any such laws
Robert Stone followed Herr. He
urged that there was no demand in
Kansas for the law. Following his
statements, Herr and Gordon of
Wyandotte took the floor to fire a.
series of questions at the Shawnee
county member. But Stone stood
firm and declared that Kansas did
not demand race legislation and that
the simple and proper method of dis
posing of the bill was to remove the
enacting clause.
Bentley, also of Shawnee, succeeded
Stone to q. place on the floor. He
also believed that in justice and hu-
manity that the bill should be beaten
and that the legislature should leave
the Kansas statutes in their present
condition.

A BOY THIEF.
He Stole Cakes, Candies and JeweIry
Caught by Kiene.

After eating all he could of a
basketful of cakes, candy and other
sweets, stolen with considerable Jew
elry from the store of H H Freeman,
near the Topeka Industrial institute
last Saturday night, Leonard Ole, d
young colored boy, told Sheriff L. l..
Kiene that he threw the rest away He
was arrested in Lawrence yesterday
afternoon and was brought back to
Topeka last night
When arrested the boy is said to
have been wearing a considerable
amount of the jewelry he had stolen,
having decorated his vest with four
watch chains and several fobs, and
scattering other jewerly over his per-
son in conspicuous places.
On returning to Topeka the boy
invited the sheriff to accompany him
to vacant building in the Santa Fe
yards where the remains of the stolen
feast was found. A five-pound carton
of chocolate drops was among the
articles stolen. The boy had eaten all
he could, and had scattered most of
the balance. A jelly roll he had left
untouched, having gorged himself
with other sweets. Several cakes he
had hardly more than tasted, eating
the frosting and leaving most of the
balance.
Practically all of the $3.50 worth of
JeWeIry stolen was found on his per-
son and will be returned to its owner

OAKLAND TO VOTE
Special Election Be Held Next
Saturday.
To Decide Whether or Not to
Join Topeka.

A special election will be held Sat
urday, January 25, in Oakland, to de-
termine whether or not Oakland is to
become a part of the city of Topeka.
Oakland is city of the third class,
has about 1000 inhabitants, and oc-
cupieS about a square mile or terri
tory.
There is a good deal of interest cen
tering about Saturdays election, be-
cause opinion is so divided as to the
outcome One man who lives in Oak
land declares the vote will be six to
one against it, another asserts the
move will carry.
"It is a question whether Oakland
will join Topeka or not" said f. A

ion about it, but don't care to express
It yet
Oakland pays one mill more on her

water, nor electric light. 1t has a

ST rather think it would be good
thing for Oakland observed Mayor
Billiard today, although there is no
Topeka. Oakland is really part of
Topeka, and ought to belong to us.
At first it would be more expense than
income. 1t would increase our tax
able valuation, but we would bear the
greatest part of the expense for ex-
penditures on street lights. fire pro-
lection, extension of waterworks, etc.
1t would not be an irnm ediate but fu-
ture advantage to US.
Mayor Billiard says he hasn't an
idea how the election will go, and is
exceedingly interested as to the out

CoffinIess Funeral.

The Racchanalian funeral in Italy which took half a day to reach the burial place, is very Nike what Dean Ramsay tells Of < bygone Scotland There was the old maiden lady of Strathspey who bade her grandrephew see that as much whisky was used at her funeral as had been used at her baptism. The churchyard was ten miles from her home; it was a shor November day; and night was closing in when the funerai procession ar. rived. "But whaur's Miss Ketty?" ask ed the grave digger, and being an swered, "In her coffin, to be sure," ne still missed the coffin. The party, dur ing halt at wayside inn, had rested 1t on a dyke, and forgotten it wher they resumed their way; and the in torment had to be postponed until tho uext day
