SUES TO FORECLOSE.
Trust Company Asks Possession of
f LosvrenCe City Wategs Works. =.

Suit to foreclose on the bonds of
the Lawrence Water company has
been commenced in the United States
district court here by the Columbia
Trust company Of New York, former
ly the COlumbia-K nickerbocker Trust
company, which represents the hold
ers of a considerable quantity of the
water company's mortgage bonds, is
sued in 1912. Interest is alleged to
be overdue.
The condition of the Lawrence Wa
ter company's finances has been such
that the city has suffered, according
to reports of an Official character pub
lished frequently in the last year or
two. from lack of extensions and from
lack Of water. In the dry summer Of
1913 Lawrence was embarrassed in a
serious way as were several other
Kansas towns. The present action
would indicate that the operation of
the Lawrence water works has been
too Improbable to permit the pay
ment of even the interest on COM
pany securities. No valuation of the
property is mentioned in the petition
filed here.

REDPATH IN A SUIT
Claims for Failure to Bring
Paderewski Here.

Suit was filed this afternoon with
the clerk of the district court for
$4,000 against the Redpath Lyceum
bureau and the Redpath-Horn Ly-
ceum bureau by Jean Parkhurst
Guettler as a result of the two ly-
ceum bureaus failure to bring Pad
erewski to Topeka last February.
In her suit Mrs. Guettler claims
that she spent $1,000 in advertising
the concert to be given by the famous
pianist and that other losses aggre-
gated $4,000. Mrs. Guettler managed
the Parkhurst concert series, in which
Paderewski was to take part, in the
city last winter. The Paderewski
number was one Of the big programs
booked for the series. The pianist
failed to appear after hundreds OF
seats had been sold and the affair
had been widely advertised.
1t is thought that the lyceum bu-
reaus have money obtained from the
performance of the Military Girls in
the city Tuesday evening. Mrs. Guet-
tier has garnisheed this money.

1t is doubtless safe to say that George
Washington would notice the sky
scrapers-perhaps speak Of them. since
forty feet was 4 dizzy height in 1850.
but he would find other things more
startling.
He would find that the death rate
for New York today in less than eight
months would wipe out every man,
woman and child Of the city he knew,
and that the present birthrate would
reproduce 1t IN -four months. With the
other increases of population it would
be restored in three months-three
months to equal the accumulation OF
2UO years!
Marvellous Growth.
New York city today has a million
more inhabitants than had the whole
United States in 1870. Against the es-
timated 100000 for the metropolis
now were 3,929,G25 for the nation in
1880, and OF these G97 ,GS1 were slaves.
