Auto Notes From Shawnee and
Over the State.

When the prospective buyer Of an
automobile starts to investigate in
Topeka he is at . loss to know Just
what make Of car he wants. There
are so many cars with new model body
and engine design and exclusive fea-
lures that the 'wouldbe" motorist
usually calls at the show rooms OF
each agent who handles the grade Of
car he wants-and he usually goes
several times before he finally decides
which carl6D buy.
There are found here cars to suit
the fancy az well an the purse Of each
purchaser. They range from the high
est grade cars with all the latest
touches of refinement and fancy
price. to the cars which sell for the
lowest prica Of any on the market. In
other words you can get anything from
q Packard to q Brush Six and almost
any kind of an auto truck. and that
includes nearly everything In gasoline
wagons.
To judge from the number OF cars
seen on the streets and along the
country roads . stranger might con-
clude that the majority Of the people
in Topeka and vicinity own automo-
biles. It IL true that q big business
has been done In autos, but the bust
ness in the next year IL expected to
eclipse that Of previous years.
The local dealers are getting in their
1915 models and are preparing to do q
big business from now until the first
OF the year.

FAVOR TO RAILROADS.



A freight rate order of the public
utilities commission. made q year ago
when the ton rate on nut, pea and
slack coal from the Pittsburg mining
district to Concordia was cut to $1.2O,
was set aside ty District Judge A. w.
Dana today. in rendering judgment In
the suits OF the Santa Fe and the
Union Pacific railroads against the
utilities commission. A single decision
covered the two actions.
The application for reduction OF
the old rate OF $1.54 from Pittsburg
to Concordfa on coal for factory pur-
poses was made year ago by the ice
men Of Concordia. who undertook to
show that the high cost Of coal trans
portation prevented their competing
in the ice-malking industry outside q
very restricted territory.
Based on the fact that the old slack
coal rate gave the railroads q revenue
only about one-half the average rev.
enue earned on their entire systems,
or in the state. Judge Dana held that
the reduced rate on coal was unfair.
Costs of tie action were charged

that investors have become discOur-
aged with the outlook for that and
affiliated properties. There was also
reason to believe that the short in
terest accelerated the downward
movement In these securities.
The causes back Of the selling of
New Haven and Chesapeake were
more apparent. Towards the end of
the week high grade stocks which
had held relatively steady began to
reflect the force OF the movement in
the obscure stocks and Indications of
liquidation in that part of the list were
manifested.
Money was again in abundant sup
ply at rates slightly higher than on
the previous week. The huge shift
ing of loans in connection with mid
year disbursements had but slight eff
feet on monetary conditions.

their eyes, expecting to see three
year-old Dorothy Wooley ground to
death beneath Southern Pacific pas
sengey train before her home, Gladys
Wooley, her seven-year-old sister,
sped $50 feet and, paying no heed to-
the approaching cars, lifted the little
one from the track. The side of the
locomotive struck Gladys as she fed
to one side. Her dress was torn. but
she was uninjured. Spectators do not
understand how the little figure
which few past them reached the
train in time.
Mother, why is 1t that when you
see some. one on the track you can't
make your legs go fast?" asked the
little seven-year-old girl after the acci-
dent, not thinking of herself. Il saw
the engine way down the track, and

The shrek of the whistle which
started the race between the sister
and the locomotive was the same
which brought the children's mother
and dozen neighbors to their doors.

Little Dorothy was crossing the

sound of the whistle startled her. It
caused her to sit down in the center
of the track, dazed.
The red wagon was splintered.
