THE Law
No Civil Service Commission in
Topeka Now.
Members Disqualified Them
selves Through Politics.

The threat of Policeman Calvin to
appeal to the city's civil service board
because he has been suspended for
ten days by Josiah Ross, chief of po-
lice, will be somewhat difficult for
Calvin to carry out for the simple rea-
son that there amt no SIGH animule."
The city Of Topeka at present is
without a civil service board. each of
the three members of the board hav-
ing disqualified himself by violating
a section Of the state law concerning
municipal civil service commissions
which reads:
NO person while a member of the
said civil service commission shall
hold or be a candidate for any Office
of trust" The members of the COM
mission before the last primary and
general elections were E. E. Roude-
, bush, who was a candidate for clerk
of the district court on the Progress
sive ticket; Thomas Garrett, Progress
sive party candidate for register OF
deeds, and C. G. Blakely, who while a
member Of the commission also held
the office of state representative in
the legislature.

service commission can be filled by

THE FAMOUS IRON CROSS.

Shortly after the opening of hostil-
ities the German kaiser. following the
precedent established by William 1,
Reconstructed the famous Order OF the
Iron Cross. The New Yorker Stats
Zeitung furnishes an interesting his
tory of this coveted mark of disttnc-
ton. which is awarded solely for the
performance of deeds of the highest
valor on the field of battle
King Frederick william of Prussia
founded the order on March 10, 1919.
as a reward for services rendered to
the fatherland in the Napoleonic wars
The plainness of the iron insignia was
intended to remind it's wearers of the
hard times that had brought it into
being. 1t was small iron maltese
cross inlaid with a narrow silver band
just inside the beveled edge The only
other marks upon 1t were three oak
leaves In the center, the royal initials

in the case of royal orders. there were

until March 81, 1915. A few of the
proposed changes are of more impor-
lance than usual and decision
either way will mean a matter of dol
lars to those affected.
An effort will be made to reach an
understanding on the application of
rates covered by the Kansas two line
distance tariff where both points Of or
igin and destination are on the same
line Changes in classes of several ar
ticles will be considered. Rates on
coke, steel tanks. grain and seed prod
ucts. ground stone, flax. empty sacks
with grain products will be discussed
and efforts will be made to adjust such
rates satisfactory to railroads and the
public. The limited valuation of live
stock is one of the problems.
The charge for setback or run-by
cars of grain or seeds will be consid-
cred. There is no rule governing this
question. he question Of drovers' re-
turn trans portation tickets will be an
other iterI for consideration. Although
it is not expected that the differences
on the questions will be settled tomor-
row. representatives of railroads and
members Of the commission today ex-
pressed hope that they would be able
to get together"

France again declared war on Prus-
STA, the order was revived by King
William on the same conditions as
originally instituted. At that time the
three oak leaves were dropped, and
the letter w, the crown, and the date
1870 were substituted for the original
marks, but the three leaves were re-
stored by an order of the imperial
council in 1896 The decoration as
revised in 1870 has been bestowed on
48,574 German warriors of all classes,
including those coming from German
states outside of Prussia--New York
