THE SOCIAL SURVEY.
Gene Stotts to Represent City i'll the
Work.

Members of the social survey or
ganization appeared in commissioners
meeting this morning to request the
commission to appoint a committee
from among themselves to cooperate
with the work of the survey. 1t was
suggested that the mayor represent
the city in the work, but Mr.. Billiard
declined, and Commissioner Stotts was
appointed.
A committee composed of Mrs. La
Harold Chase, Roy b. Guild, w. J.
Richenbacker and w. T. Luce repre-
scented the social organization.
THE movement, in brief. is to make
Topeka rs years from now one of the
finest cities in the United States .
Mr.. Guild explained. ITO do this we
must have the cooperation of every
one in Topeka-a representative of
the religious Observation-Disclosures and
Protestants-a representative from
the women'S clubs and the business
men of the city. We feel that the city
itself should be represented We feel
it should aid us in reducing the cost
of living, discovering unsanitary con-
ditions and other evils that exist in
town.
When it was suggested that the
mayor represent Topeka in the or
ganization, he summed up the mat
ter somewhat as follows:
Il certainly approve of the good
work the committee is trying to do.
AS city officials, we are trying to do
everything we can to improve To-
peka. Still, L can hardly approve the
request that the city take part in
this investigation. We know thai
these evils exist, and should correct
them If we had sufficient funds Re
lating to Mr.. Guilds suggestion that
an eastern man be engaged to direct
the work, I am strongly opposed to
no oh hn
Topeka, and the work should be done
by our own citizens"
The social survey organization as
yet has no definite p1ans--a complete
investigation of social conditions in,
Topeka will &c made before any re-
form is attempted. 1t was moved
that Commissioner Stotts represent
the city in the work, and he accepted.

THOSE AMENDMENTS.
Six Before House-OnIy Three Can Be
Adopted.

The order of business in the house
this afternoon includes at least two
measures which will cause trouble,
and it is doubtful whether or not one
of them will receive what the house
considers due consideration before ad-
Journment. The question of initiative
and referendum has never been def
nitely settled to the satisfaction of all
Democrats, although it is a plank in
the party platform, and the policy of
the recall is doubted by a number of
perfectly good Democrats.
The initiative and referendum and
the recall are slated for today's house

little oratory, time permitting the

HE HID UNDER FLOOR.
Mexican Discovered Through Efforts
of Former Countryman.

After chase that extended into
North Topeka and east to the famous
Three Bridges district Sheriff L. L.
Kiene, Police Sergeant Dan Garden and
a Mexican interpreter, found Jose
Luna, a Mexican, who had wounded
two of his countrymen, one probably
fatally, under the floor of the house at
202 Hancock street. A trap door in the
floor, probably the invention of some
clever jointist who wished to avoid
having the police locate his stock of
wet goods. furnished him a hiding
place. He was taken to the county Jail
The discovery of Luna was partly
due to the keen eyes of Augustine Alba
an interpreter. The officers had
searched the house and found nothing.
Then, as they were about to leave Alba
