Girls Wearing White Waists
Ordered From Water.
like FLESH, OFFICERS SAY
Nothing but Dark Clothing Goes
ON ~BOard Walk"
Case at Stake Until Commits.
SiOner Returns.

Several young women were ordered
out of Gage park lake last night be-
cause the waists of their suits were
white. White as a color for bathing
suits is objected to by the park authori-
ties because, SO they say, 1T is too near
flesh color and too revealing"
The young women who were ordered
out Of the water for wearing white be-
came Indignant They resented the i'm
prtation that their bathing costumes
were immodest. The persons having the
concession to supply bathing suits at
the park offered suits to the young
women free of charge. The profered
suits were refused.
The line of demarcatiOn between
me dest and an immodest bathing suit is
receiving as much discussion at the
pr esent time throughout the country as
did the famous Mason and Dixon line
at one time. Put the question is doub-
parks are free to all the people Of To-
peka. No color line is drawn in mu-
nicipal affairs of the city.
A very considerable proportion of the
populatio.- of Topeka is composed of
colored persons. They are as much en-
titled to swim in Gage park as are the
white persons. If white bathing suits
are immodest for white persons because
they are near-flesh color, the question
presents itself: Are not dark suits i'm
modest when worn by persons of dark
skin? The question of modesty seems
to be reduced by the park authorities
to a mere matter of complexion.
The matter of charges exacted of per-
sons WHO wade or swim in the lake. or
use the lockers and dressing rooms
there is subject for front porch con-
versation in many Topeka homes since
the matter was agitated by DR.. Eva
Hirding. DR.. Hardings side of the case
has been presented. The other side of
the case will have its inning when w.

returns.
To furnish everything free would in
volve a very considerable expense to
the city. Persons using bathing suits
very frequently wear them away con
cealed under their regular clothing. and
bathing suits cost money. The 5 cents
the cOncessiOnaires charge for the use
of a dressing room and locker also
pays for the responsibility assumed to
care for and return ell valuables which
are placed in the lockers. Towels are
also provided.
The question OF how the kiddies
without nickels are to have Just as
much fun in the city parks as do chill
dren whose parents supply them with
money does not seem to be near a solu-
ton.

PLAN MELON FEAST.
Topeka Auto Club q Guest OfAW. A.
Luythe Near Silver Lake.

A special meeting of the Topeka
Automobile club has been called for
Thursday night to make arrangements
for a watermelon feast. w. A. Luythe.
a farmer near the Silver Lake road
who raises immense luscious melons
by the wagon load has agreed to have
a tank full of them ready for the To-
peka autOists on the evening that Is
set for the big feast.
AS an affair of this kind appeals to
the average person it is expected to
start out from Topeka with q caval-
cade of fifty cars the evening OF the
event.
At the meeting questions pertaining
to the marking of the Golden Belt
road in Shawnee county will be dis
cussed, and the much talked about
proposed city auto ordinance will un-
doubtedly again be considered.

MARK GOLDEN BELT.
Yellow Bands on Poles Granville to
Silver Lake.

The Golden Belt road has been re-
marked with broad yellow bands all the
way from Granville to Silver Lake. The
Golden Belt Road association furnished
the paint and the Topeka Automobile
club agreed to see that every other pole
along the way was marked. E. L. Over
ton Of the club had general charge of
the work. One enthusiastic member, C.
s. Curry, of the Kansas Voting Ma
chine company. volunteered to do the
painting between Topeka and Silver
Lake without pay.
Autoists at Silver Lake and Rossville
will do the marking this week between
Silver Lake and the county line. The
Topeka Auto club will create a branch
line Of the Golden Belt running through
the business section of Topeka. Com
ing east the autoist who desires to stop
in Topeka will cross the brick yard
bridge and come to town by the West
Sixth avenue road. He will go down
Kansas avenue and across the Melan
bridge to strike the main line Of the
Golden Belt.
Tuesday night H. s. Putney. president
OF the Topeka Auto club, and E. L.
Overton went out in the latter's car to
inspect the road markings as far az
Rossville. The highway is in excellent
condition.

ing our light plant 80 as to furnish
light and power to all who want 1t. At
the same price.
In commenting on Mr.. Burnam's
platform, Frank NJ. Newland, present
city commissioner of water and light,
said:
Mr.. Burnam does not seem to
know that no deposits for water me-
tiers were ever made by any person in
Topeka. The water patrons bought
the meters outright and paid just
what the meters cost. It would cost
the city 10000 to give back the
money which was paid for meters.
when fr. Burnam proposes to do
this he either does not know or for
gets that there are several hundred
thousands of dollars in bonds against
the plant which must be paid. If he
can take $4,000 in one lump out of
the funds Of the plant. and also reduce
the water rates, and still meet the
payments on these bond, he IL q bet

At The IRIS.

One Wonderful Night is the bill at
the Iris today and tomorrow. Not only
has the Essaney company built a cred
liable picture from the novel written
by Louis Tracy which ran serially in
the Ladies' World. but they have built
a photoplay that will stand out as
something exit aordinary In the staging
of picture productions. This is the
long heralded picture which has been
promoted by the Ladies' World by
means Of their hero contest which was
won by popular vote by Francis x.
Bushman, leading man of the Essanay.
While his acting has always been no
table it stands out even stronger in
this four-reel production. It shows
him practically at his best Credit
also must be given e. H. Calvert who
produced this film. He has brought
out the situations In q very convincing
door scenes are in harmony with the
story. All through he has built a
worth while phctoplay. Mingled with
the exciting moments there are many
touches of humor which lend a pleas
ing variety to the pictures. There is a
snap and action about it which makes
1t interesting throughout. The story
follows out the novel version faith
fully. An exceptionally thrilling scene
is where the escaping automobile is
accidentally run over q sheer hill.
Many situations and scenes as well as
exciting actions are crowded into one
night. John Curtis, returning to Amer
lea, registers at one Of the leading
hotels. AS he leaves the hostelry he
sees two thugs overpowering q young
chap. He is the only witness. AS he
walks down the street later he finds
that he is wearing the murdered mans
overcoat, in the inside pocket of
which he finds a marriage license with
the names Of Lady Hermoine and
Count de Courtois on 1t. He reasons
that 1t was the count who was killed
and goes to advise Lady Hermofne of
the murder. She explains to him that
the count was nothing to her. but she
was going to marry him merely to pro-
tect herself from foreign nobleman
Of her fathers choice. From this
point, adventure after adventure fol-
lows until finally the real culprits are
captured. In the meantime, however,
to protect Lady Hermoine, Curtis
marries her. The father becomes en-
ragged when he hears of 1t, but every
thing ends har NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
