DAVIS new PLAN.
State Auditor Has Recommendations
for Next Legislature.

In his recommendations to the state
legislature w. E. Davis. state auditor.
urges that the board OF correction ana
board of irrigation be abolished by
legislative enactment, while the state
penitentiary and state refOrmatory be
placed under the management Of the
state board Of control and the boys
and girls industrial schools be put
under the jurisdiction of the educa-
tional administration board. The pro-
gram Is outlined as part of the state
auditors recommended campaign OF
economy and will be included in his
biennial report to the governor.
By abolishing the penal board and
placing the management of the state
penitentiary and reformatory under the
board of control, Davis urges. the
state will not only be able to save
$500 a year, but will take the peni-
Tertiary out of politics. The care of
the penal institutions will not burden
the control board, Davis states. since
the 1913 legislature took four institu-
tions from under the control board
and added only the Norton and Larn-
ed hospitals, now in course of con-
struction.
5 The board of irrigation is useless
expense, the report recftes, and is
.s'eating it's head off. with overhead ex-
pense." He would remedy the alleged
error of the 1913 legislature by abol-
ishing the board. Another material
change to be found in the auditors
of the Topeka boys Industrial school
and the Beloit girls Industrial school
from the control of the board of cor
rection and placing the management
under jurisdiction of the educational
administration board.

"1oDAY'S MARKET REPORT

prices developed harding tendency to-
day, influenced by the steadiness Of quo
tations at Liverpool and by knowledge
that cash sales here were larger than had
been reported there was noticeable alb
sence of the selling pressure, weak hold
ings having apparently all been dislodged,
and there being no further evidence Of
furry in regard to the erman naval raid.
After opening unchanged to Nc higher the
market reacted a little but then promptly
rallied.
A decided advance took place when it
was shown that for the first time this
season primary receipts had fallen below

At first, however, prices tended to sag on

Cold weather demand from feeders help

at this attack on unfortified towns.
England is astir today as never before
since war was declared. Another raid
is confidently expected and the entire
machinery of home defense has been
put into molten. On the east and the
southeast coast of England emergency
committees are at work while IN Lon
don plans to organize a national guard
of men too old for military service are
under way. Although to the British
mind raid on London seems remote,
yesterdays episode drove home the
realities of war as nothing else could.
Arrangements have been made at
Deal and Dover to expedite the re-
moval of the civilian population in
case of an attack. These measures
are primarily to forestall any panic or
congestion on the railroads and thor
oughfares which might impede mill
tary movement. Through wireless
the outcome of this visit of German
cruisers to the English coast and this
morning a wireless message from the
German capital picked up here re-
.peated details of the attack as printed
by British newspapers yesterday
Nothing has been added from German
official sources.
1t Was a Daring Feat.
Steaming at high speed, the Ger
man raiders, barring mishap, should
have reached their advance naval base
off Helgoland, some time after mid
night last night. their trip requiring
about fifteen hours. Thirty hours out
of port on such a venture in mine
laden waters is a feat English papers
do not belittle and in his heart every
Englishman hopes that it will be es-
sayed again, and If necessary again
until the call is paid once too often.
1t is presumed that behind them the
German cruisers strewed mines, so a
fleet of trawlers is now out engaged
in the precarious task of sweeping.
The towns attacked yesterday had
resumed much of their normal ap-
pearance by today except in the be-
reaved homes and in the hospitals,
where the wounded were quartered.
Everywhere the sound of hammering
was heard, as the damage was re-
paired.
The belief is general that the Ger
mans in this expedition had the able
assistance of spies. The remarkable
secrecy with which the raid was exc
cuted is shown by the fact that not .

Fire Marshars Office Out From
Under Companies.
Legislature May BE Asked to
. Contribute to Its Support.
WILL IT Be POLITICAL FOOTBALL
Fear That Efficiency May Be
Damaged by Action.
Kansas Has Taken Front Rank
in Fire Prevention.

The 1915 legislature may be asked
to provide for the support of the state
fire marshals office through direct
Ii legislative appropriations instead of
through assessments against pre-
miums received by fire insurance COM
panies doing business in Kansas. 1t
is probable that a change in the pres
en- law will be asked, but that it will
be urged by some of the original
friends Of the law.
OF the new boards. commissions
and offices ere. ted by the 1913 legis-
1ature, the Office of state fire marshal
has pei laps given most general salts
faction. Not only do the reports from
the fire narshaPs Office show a decid-
ed decrease in daily fire losses for
Kansas, but for the first time in her
history, Kansas has been able to make
a systematic and effective fight for
fire prevention.
Under the present law. fire insur-
ance companies may be assessed
thre eighths of one per cent of their
annual premiums for the support of
the Office. The assessments have in
most instances been paid without pro-
test or complaint. In fact the fire
marshals law was urged by the fire
insurance companies. But now there
is the possibility of change.
1t is probable that the Office of the
state fire marshal is to BE thrown in
the pot with other political jobs and
that the position is to be regarded as
SO much patronage rather than q pO-
sitiOn for a consistent fight against
fire losses. Fire insurance companies
wanted a state fire marshal's depart
ment similar to the state board of ag-
riculture or labor bureau. They were
willing to pay the bills if the records
of the office showed efficient and eff
fective work cnC produced results in
the reduction of the states daily fire
loss. All of this was accomplished.
But by making the office a political
football, the fire insurance companies
have begun to lose their enthusiasm.
They see no reason why they should
support a strictly political department.
Under the law a four year term is
provided and the men who drafted the
bill planned for the conservation of
property and the making of a new rec
ord not only for fire prevention but in
the prosecution of gang of fire bugs
known to have been operating in the
state. But the fire insurance cOmpan-
les will not pay the bills If the office
Is to be governed or regulated by po-
litical influences.
As yet the office is in the expert
mental stage. The work outlined and
results accomplished. however. have at
tracted wide attention and the depart
ment was regarded as one of the offices
created by the 1918 legislature which
really met favorable response in the
state. Recently Harrison Parkman.
the present fire marshal, was named
as president of the national fire mar
shars association.

Russia claims to have checked for
the moment the movement OF the
Austrians across the Carpathian
passes. She contends also that she
has pushed the Germans further back
toward the East Prussian frontier, at
the northern extremity Of the eastern
front.
West of Warsaw the Germans con-
tinue their advance. The German
press, commenting on the situation in
the west. has expressed the opinion
that operations of Importance are inn
pending in Alsace, where it is said
French reinforcements are being
brought up.
new French attack from the direc-

1t is added that the German guns did
considerable damage to the French
position in the Vosges south Of st.

London, where the rush Of applicants

victory cannot yet be estimated"
