I'VE are prepared to place at the dis

prepared to pay all transportation cost
not donated by railways on contrib

Upon a fortnight's notice we will

DANGER FROM FIRE.
Fifty Topeka Homes Unsafe
Owing to Wireless Outfits.
City Inspectors Say Lightning
Connections Are Poor.

Following an inspection of a num-
Der of wireless plants constructed by
amateurs, Joseph Hanlon, fire mar
shall, and E. ]. Stewart, city electrical
Inspector, declare there are approx
m na, Z, fifty houses ln the city of To-
lightning The first time the city is vis-
tied by serious electrical storm.
I'VE found that practically all the
plants were improperly equipped to
carry off electrical discharges such as
may be received from lightning" said
Mr.. Stewart. SHOULD lightning strike
any of these plants, 1t is very prob
able that the current would be carried
into the houses and set fire to them.
Every plant should have a 100 am
pere ground wire and should be con-
nected with the ground at sufficient
depth to reach damp earth. This can
be done by using pipe driven deeply
in the ground. The ground wire can
also be connected with a water pipe,
but care must be taken that the con-
nection is outside of the service to the
house and under no circumstances
should they be connected with gas
pipes.
"A service switch should be installed
and this should be free from angles.
The line which the lightning is ex-
pected to follow should be as nearly
straight as possible. Many of the serv-
ice switches now in use are of such
a nature that l doubt where the light
ming would not go into the houses even
when they are thrown of. The ground
wires we found were too small to do
the work expected of them.
Il do not wish to discourage boys in
erecting wireless stations said Stew
art. Such work is instructive and
beneficial to them. If they will call
at my Office L will give them free of
charge a code book giving them full in
structiOns on how to make their plants

TOday's Suggestion.
ti-White Slave Congress Is
in Session in Topeka.

For the purpose of consolidating all
rescue organizations under one head and
to take initial steps In a campaign for
the establishment of a self sustaining
state institution to provide home for
fallen girls over II years, the state
meeting OF the Anti-White Slavery
congress- will convene tomorrow. To-
days meetings were postponed
The congress is being held under the
auspices Of the Worlds Purity Fedora

Roberts of Labette, author of the KAN
sas white slave law and secretary OF
the international committee of the fed
GRAFTON on institutions for fallen girls.
Men and women prominent in rescue
work of this kind are present from
al parts OF the United States.
Purpose of Meeting.
In discussing the ends striven for,
Mr.. Roberts said: -
I'VE have an Institution at Brooklyn.
N. Y, in which We have demonstrated
and are demonstrating that all crime Is
a disease. In this institution We make
a speciality OF curing the young who
are criminally diseased, and especially
young girls who are born wrong. We
have found that our work is handicap
ped by the fact that there are too many
Independent institutions and that large
sums of money are expended in a way
that does not accomplish the greatest
good because of these haphaZard or
ganiZatiOns
Many persons whose intentions are
good attempt to do rescue work and
succeed in raising large sums Of money,
but because their business acumen is
not as keen as their enthusiasm they
fail to put this money to good advan-
tage. We propose to bring these or
CARNATIONS together under one head
and have all cooperate together"
Mr.. Roberts also said that on ac-
count of the fact that the Beloit home
will not admit girls over IT years of
age and will not take girls with babies
in their arms under any consideration.
there is need for state institution
that will care for them and committee
will be appointed to take the initial
steps looking to "a campaign along this
line.
