R0BBER KILLS THREE.
In Hand to Hand Fight in Passenger
Coach.

Bellingham. Wash, Feb. IA trail,
leading along the water front to boat
landing, was the clue followed today by
posses from two counties seeking the
three bandits who shot three passen-
gers to death on a north bound Great
Northern train near here last night.
The bodies of the dead were taken
to their homes. They were:
THOMAS s. WADSWORTH, Van
couver, b. c., Canadian Pacific rail-
road conductor.
r. L. LEE, Bremerton, Wash. time
clerk, Puget Sound navy yards. His
parents live in Ackerland. Kan.
H. r. Atkinson. Vancouver. B. c..
travelling salesman.
The version OF the robbery obtained
today disclosed that bullet after bullet
had been sent into Lees body after he
fell. A bullet apiece finished the other
men.
The bandits boarded the train at
Burlington, a few miles south OF here,
and passed from the smoking car into
the day coach. tying white handker-
on the platform Of the day -oach, a
second stepped just inside and a third
walked the length Of the car. As one
robber started to lock the door the
three passengers sprang at him. While
he shot them down the robber at the
other end Of the car began shooting out
the lights. His companion emptied an
automatic .isto1 into Lees body and
then ran the length of the car snatch
ing as he ran purses offered by fright
ened passengers. The train slowed
down in response to a pull at the bell
cord and the three disappeared.

A COSTLY STREAM,
Shunganunga Drainage District Re-
port on Money Spent.

One-fifth Of the money collected in
the Shunganunga drainage district
was expended for salaries, attorney
fees. engineering and treasurer's
bond. The trf-annual report of the
district has been compiled and filed
with the county clerk.
Tne officers of the district. who give
place to a new board March 9, will
hand over a clean record and s6a7
Elecuons will be held in two weeks.
An entirely new board will be elected.
The retiring officers are: r. J. Hurley.
president: G. H. Bowman, secretary:
!. &. Sinner, treasurer; SCHUYLER Har-
rts and Frank Effinger.
The biggest expense item, exclusive
OF salaries. has been paid out for work
In clearing the stream. Keeping the
bed of the Shunganunga in good or
der is the biggest problem confronting
the drainage district in South Topeka.
The report, which includes the
levies Of 1911. 1912. and 1913, shows
that $845.71 was expended from the
general fund for clearing the stream.
The board has been obliged to pay
only $165 In damages in three years.
Collections in a general and special
levy since March. 1911. have totalled
general fund. $1,785,62: disbursements
from the special fund.- $3,759.2s: un-
collected tax, $623.83. This makes q
total expenditure of $6,068.74, leaving
on hand $687.64.
The Shunganunga drainage district
covers the territory from Seventeenth
street south to the city limits, and
from Topeka avenue to the city limits
on the east.

He WANTED A. PASS.
Somebody Tried to Blackmatl the
Burlington Railroad.

Washington. Feb. N.-CoTrespondenca
between John T. Denvir. who repre-
sented himself a member of the Illi-
nois legislature. and the Chicago. Bur-
ltngton & Quincy railroad. in which
Denvir demanded from the railway a
personal pass and threatened legisla-
tive action because it was not supplied,
was disclosed by the I. c. C. today in
a supplemental report on the inquiry
made by the commission into the issue
or free transportation by western rail-
ways. There was a John T. Denvir in
the Illinois legislature. He informed
the commission he did not sign the let
ter and that 1T was not sent by his
authority.
Denvfr requested an annual pass for
himself owing to the legislative public
utilities commission.
The Burlington road declined. A let
ter subsequently was received by the
general counsel Of the road, written on
the official 1etterhead of the committee
and signed John T. Denvir.'' 1t said
in part:
'As chairman of the public utilities
commission you can look for legislation
that will work hardship to your COM
pany and I wish to assure you that
when our commission gets through
with you that you will find your road
in the hands of a receiver for you GER
talniy are violating the laws of the
state in a great many respects and we
know it. but have gone along and been
friendly to you, but inasmuch as you
declined to be so diplomatic In your
statement that you would not like to
violate the custom you have INDUCED, >
1 feel inclined to think that a little res
olutlon with respect to a committee for
a thorough Investigation Of your gross
negligence with regard to your methods
OF procedure will be well to adopt at
the next meeting of the senate.''
The report of the commission saws:
although opportunity for a full ex-
PLANTATION was afforded Mr.. Denvir -
was not forthcoming, and we deem it
our duty to make this record of the
matter. It Is well to add, that our in
vestigations Of the records of other
requests have been made in the mast
Tor 1ree transportation. for the use OF

WEATHER HURTS TRADE
Sentiment in Commercial and Indus
trial Channels Is Optimistic.

: New York, Feb. 21.-Dun's Review
says:
Weather conditions were an import
ant factor in the business situation
this week. Recent storms impeded
railroad traffic and retarded the dis
tribution OF merchandise. yet certain
lines Of trade benefited by the heavy
snow fall and zero temperatures. There
was a notable increase in the move
ment Of footwear and heavy weight
apparel while fuel was In greater de-
mand.
Sentiment in commerce and indus
trial channels remains optimistic and
evidences of improving conditions ac-
cumulate.
This il particularly true of wool.
sales of which continue large at ad-
vancing prices. A material reduction
has taken place in supplies at all sea-
board markets since the opening OF
the year and in some instances stocks
are now scarce. Both cotton and WOOL
en- mills are well employed, as rule,
and prospects are considered satis-
factory.

SCHOOL GARDENS.


Last summer was the end OF two sue
cessful years Of school garden work.
The spring of 1913 was the first time
that prizes were offered for gardens OF
definite size. The gardens were di-
vided into two classes; class l. gardens
square feet. Glass were gardens
20x25 feet or an equivalent Of 500 square
feet. Out Of 1900 students In the To-
pelka schools 80 enrolled in class 1. Out
Of this number Il took care of their
gardens during the hot months Of July
tests with fine exhibits. Tho question
is asked What became of the other
eight?" Three dropped out on account
Of poor seeds which failed to germi-
nate. One planted no garden on ac-
count Of outside work and two moved
that 16 per cent. Of those enrolled did
not finish-is it right to hold them re-
sponsible for poor seeds purchased!
Glass 2 was credited with 81 students.
Out Of this number - finished with
great results. one did not plant q gar
the other did not have his separate
from the family garden and his parents
did not think It prudent to count him In
the contest with the others.
Who Had Best 0arden?
Another question IL asked: Who had
the best garden? That is a very hard
question to answer. Many Of the stu
dents as a whole did fine work. In
class 1 the honor lies between Russell
Wheeley of Quincy school and William
McElroy Of Mckinley. In class Ellis
worth Adams of Quincy had perhaps
the best garden. George Gilman of
Lowman Hill had the best small fam
lily garden and his vegetables surpassed
those Of any in the exhibit.
During the summer months many
gardens Of older people were visited
and 1t was encouraging to see how the
school home gardens as a rule sur
passed and outranked the other gardens
in various ways. A number Of pupils
kept itemized bills Of expenses and
time put on their gardens. The profits
run all the way from $S.45 to $50.20 Joe
Griffin's account book has everything
in detail. His sales were $S1.05. A to-
tai Of 21.5 hours was spent in his gar
den. which means that he received $1.4
an hour for each hour spent at his
satisfactory considering the adverse
conditions.
Merchants Take Interest.
The merchants and various business
men and the Commercial club. Real
a great interest in the school garden
work and last year turned over to H.
Wilmington, supervisor in agriculture,
$254.37. OF this amount $123.75 were
distributed as prizes. This leaves a to-
tai Of $13O.62. To this the Real Estate
Dealers association gave 800. which
makes $23O62. DR.. Harriet Adams has
started this year with a check for S..
