WEEKS MARKETS
Irregular Prices and Small
Dealings Trade Features.
War Shares Slightly OFF; Rail-
road Shares Look Up.

New York, Nov 2O.-Increasing
price irregularity and smaller deal
ings were the chief characteristic of
the week in the stock market. Trad
ing lost much of it's recent vigor and
breadth and towards the end even pro-
fessional interest began to lag
AS a group the metal shares were
the underlying force, all prominent is
sues adding to previous advances on
the continued rise in the price of the
metal which showed a gain of a full
cent in the pound. There was con-
that fact together with the publication
of the terms of the disintegration of
the Guggenheim Exploration company
resulted in receSSionS of two to three
points from the top.
War Shares Of.
War shares of almost all descrip-
tions were under intermittent pressure
and inside liquidation with Substan-
tial loss, but some of the motor stocks
particularly General Motors made new
maXimumS-
United States Steel rose and fell
within a narrow radius, that stock be-
ing the especial objective with short
interests. Conditions in the steel in
dustry have lost none of their high
promise If anything, demand is on
the increase and for many finished
parts in excess of production.
London Sales.
In its general effect the renewed
strength of exchange on London which
rose to it's highest quotation since early
in October was the most noteworthy
development. London continued to
offer our stocks and bonds but the
volume of liquidation diminished
steadily as exchange on that center
rose.
There was a better inquiry for high
class railway shares and short term
notes, as we'll as the preferred stocks
of the better known industrials COM
panies. October reports of the lead
ing railroads will soon be at hand and
they are expected to show increases
over the very excellent statements of

CATION by Federal Authority.

ton service on the Pacific coast has
been insisted upon on the authority of
Secretary of Labor Wilson, according
to a statement here today. Densmore

charges that have been preferred

eighty-six Chinese brought to this
port on the last voyage of the steam
ship Mongolia 1t is alleged the inten-
ton was to smuggle the Chinese

new SET OF RULES
How Fire Department VIII
Work After Jan. 1.
The Double Platoon System
Brings Numerous Changes.

A set of rules governing the conduct
of firemen when the double platoon
system becomes operative, January L,
has been prepared by Joseph Hanlon,
proved by Mayor House. The rules
will be posted on each floor of each
fire department station.
Change in shifts will be made at Z
o'clock in the morning and Z o'clock
in the evening. Members of the night
shift must go to bed at $3.50 o'clock
at night and get up at o'clock in the
morning and feed the horses, clean the
stalls and sweep the floors. The bal
ance of the house work will be done
by the day shift. Members of the fire
department will not be permitted to
engage in other employment. They
will not be permitted to do days
work and then report at the fire de-
partment and go to bed.
All meal hours, days off and leaves
of absence, which have been in vogue
under the present system are discon-
tinued. Firemen while on the night
shift must spend at least one day each
week in fire prevention inspection, and
in learning the location of all fire by
drants and alarm boxes. Smoking by
firemen in uniform away from head
quarters will not be permitted.
Physical examinations of sixteen ap-
plicants for positions on the fire de-
partment began today.

AGAINST WAR
Maxim Tells X. G. Club 1t Is Only
American Salvation.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 2O-Hudson
Maxim. inventor of many implements
of war, addressing the Kansas City
Commercial club at its annual dinner
here Friday night, asserted that the
only way America could be saved
from war would be to have a navy big
and powerful enough to stand sue
cessfully against any other navy in
the world and IAN army big enough
to save the country from the horrors
of defeat and humiliation, even
should our navy be destroyed.
Our little, poorly equipped army
would not be able to offer resistance
enough to make a ripple in the line of
the enemy's advance" Mr.. Maxim
said. Our army would make just
about one good days killing.
THE chief lesson of the present war
is that we should prepare against war.
From every sense OF obligation; from
every sense of economies; from every
sense of duty and religion. we should
get ready-and lose no time about it.

as to the most appropriate Christ
mas gifts for soldiers at the front.
Won Buelow replied that muffs would
be very useful on the eastern fronts,
to be used by men on duty in the
trenches. Old and worn-o out muffs,
he adds, would be just as useful as
brand-new ones. There must be a
cord attached" he explains, so that
we can hang the muffs round our
necks."
Mackensen, from Serbia, asks for
cocoa, chocolate, fat, and butter. Call
WITT replies only: I'VE don't want
any wool; we are richly provided with

against the sending of spirits or IN
fact any alcoholic beverages. In fact,
no spirits are asked for by any troops
except the guards regiments, which
want rum. The crown prince suggests
light red wine and smoking materials
Other commanders mention slip
pers, warm socks, handkerch1efs,
candles, old carpets, tooth brushes,
writing materials and suspenders.

The special membership campaign
now in progress at the First Chris
tan church, conducted by the pastor,

by the congregation. Mr.. Cook has
another son who is the pastor of the
First Christian church at Livingston,

TO SAVE TROUBLE
Carver Wants Records Kept of Court
of Topeka Trials.

A plan to eliminate a great deal of
the trouble caused by the court of
Topeka's not being a court of re-
corded testimony, has been worked
out by Robert Carver, assistant
county attorney, and probably will be
tried out soon.
Carver would in the future, at the
end of every criminal preliminary in
the court of Topeka, have the states
attorney dictate a short statement of
charges ard testimony to Will Ander-
son, stenographer in the county at
torney's office, for the records of the
county attorneys office.
All criminal cases following the
preliminary when bound over to the
district court are without record of
testimony, the states attorney depend
ing entirely upon his memory for the
evidence in the case. Owing to this
the attorneys are often hampered and
Carver believes his arrangement will
result in fewer dismissals.

TO MAKE CLEAN SWEEP

Officer to Be Republican.

That the result of the next election
will be a Republican in every office

the contention of H. A. Hodgins, can

Mr.. Hodgins has been connected
with Shawnee county politics for years
and has been connected with the To-
peka Ice, Fuel & Storage company

gagged in the live stock business in To-
peka and Shawnee county.

PLAN GIANT PLUNCERS
United States Will Have Biggest Sub
marines in the World.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The two new
fleet submarines, bids for which will
soon be advertised by the navy depart
ment will exceed the Schley, now the
worlds biggest underwater craft so
far as is known, by 500 tons in dis
placement
They will be 1900 tons craft as
against the Schley's 1000 tons and
will exceed by 200 tons the biggest of
the cruiser destroyers of the navy.
Congress gave navy designers a
hard task when it said that these two
submarines should have surface
speed of 25 knots an hour eff posi-
ble." The Schley will have more than
four thousand horsepower furnished
by heavy oil engines.
Experiments in the navy model
basin with models of the new craft
show that they will require between
5000 and 10000 horsepower to make
the additional five knots

PLANS ARE CHANGED
All Printers Will Get Chance at City
Ordinances.

Specifications upon which bids will
be based for the printing of the re-
vised city ordinances will be changed
so that all printing concerns in the
city will be able to compete for the
work. The specifications were drawn
by w. c. Ralston, former city attor-
ney, who made the revision of the
ordinances. Ralston is not a printer,
so he went to a printer for advice.
and other printers contended that the
specifications were so framed that
only a few of the printing houses in
the city could do the work.
A conference attended by eight
printers was held with George P.
Hayden, city attorney, today and as
a result it was decided to change
the specifications SO that kinds of
type carried by all printing houses in
the city can be used.

EGGS MAY Be CHEAP
Market Price Affected by the Mild
Weather.

1t is reported that the price of eggs
this winter may tumble, because the
Allies have failed to make heavy pur-
chases of eggs this fall. Many of the
egg kings are being caught with
surplus of eggs on their hands and the
prospects are for mild winter. In
the big cold storage warehouses in the
United States are more than one bill
lion eggs. A few weeks more of mild
weather may send millions of these
cold storage eggs on the market.
One prominent Topeka produce man
said there is nothing to the report.
1T will undoubtedly affect specu-
lators and possibly the egg distribu-
tors in the east" he said, but out
here we are not looking for change"
