FACTORY FOR CITY
PiersOn Telegraph Transmitter
Company Buys Jensen Plant.
Extensive Manufacture of VaIu-
able Instrument i'm Topeka.

The former plant of the Jensen
Manufacturing company has been
sold by w. G. Dickie to the PierSon
Telegraph Transmitter company,
which is at the present time located
at 426 jefferson street. This COM
pany will remodel the Jensen build
ing and will adapt the plant to the
needs of the firm in manufacturing a
telegram transmitter which has a
keyboard similar to that of an ordi-
nary typewriter.
1t is claimed that a telegraph OPP
orator can save much time through
the use Of the machine, and that the
high tension at which 1T is necessary
for the operator to work will be re-
duced to that of operating an ordinary
typewriter.

Child HYGIENE BILL.
Women's Pet Measure Before Senate
on Special Order.

The child hygiene bill. the pet
measure of the women of Kansas, was
approved by the senate committee of
the whole when taken up in commit
tee of the whole just before noon to-
day as a special order. The bill
creates a division of child hygiene
under the direction of the state board
of health. Its purpose is the dis
semination of instruction for the care
of infants and the prevention of dis
eases peculiar to childhood.
The present bill carries no apprO-
priation and the department will not
be particularly effective unless some
financial provision is made for it in
the general bill on executive appropri-
ations. An effort will be made to OBJ
tain such an allowance. The original
bills Introduced in both houses were
withdrawn on account of their uncOn-
stitutional provision of an appropria-
ton. The club women desire Suffi-
cient funds to employ travelling
nurses who can give personal atten-
ton wherever infantile epidemics
break out, and to lecture and distrib-
ute Institutional literature approved
by the state health sde partment.

WHY A CHICKEN?
If You Would Know. Attend Trial
in District Court.
Why is a chicken =?


This is a question in addition to
other problems of the chicken indus
try including peculiar traits of chick
ems, their individuality. mode of liv-
ing and intimate questions which no
self-respecting chicken would volun-
tarily allow to be discussed in public
threshed out by attorneys in the trial
OF the state against Arthur Lever
charged with stealing chickens, in the
second divisions of the district court
The complaining witnesses in the
case are Mrs. George Pyle and Mrs.
George Bfgham, both of Garfield
Place, North Topeka.
When cross examined by attorneys
colored woman who was witness for
the defense gave information to the
effect that when hen was set in the
morning the eggs would hatch out
ROSTERS and if the same hen was set
in the evening the eggs would produce
hens.
Her testimony was not questioned
by either Judge Carver or w. E.
Atchison, attorneys for the state.
The Lever trial has consumed the
last two days proceedings in the
court. The case will probably go to
the jury late this evening or tomor-
row.

DID IT?
Senator Waggener Says Car.
riers Killed Tax Amendment.
Resolution Lost Again on Floor
of Senate Today.

No taxation amendment to the con-
sutution will be submitted to the peo-
pie of Kansas at the next general cleo
ton. The state senate killed the one
sent over by the house of representa-
tiveS without a dissenting vote when
1T came up for action in the commit
tee of the whole. Taxes will continue
being levied for another four years
without a reconsideration of the pro-
posal to amend, which was defeated
by a majority of 5000 in last years
general election.
Today the senate substituted the
kincaid resolution for that intro
duced by Senator Waggener when the
latter came up for consideration as
part of a special order of constitu-
tional amendments this morning. The
proposal is one endorsed by state and
national tax commissioners associa
tions looking to the classification of
property for purposes of taxation.
Under it the power of the legislature
to grant exemptions has been abol-
ished in Wisconsin, where it was in
trOduced by Governor LaFollette
1t is claimed by it's supporters to
have worked beneficialIy in that state.
Senator Waggener today made the as
sertion that the railroads of Kansas
had killed the proposition at the last
election.
"A number of the senators on this
floor know that it was railroad influ-
ence which defeated the tax amend
ment last year." said he. "A promi-
nent Santa Fe official boosted that
they had killed it at the polls by max
ing the farmers of Kansas think it
would work detrimentally to their in
terests. Personally, 1 don't care much
about the. matter but those are the
facts. 1 believe such an amendment
would materially remove tax burdens
from the shoulders of Kansas farm
ers here as it has done in Wisconsin -
A motion to report the amendment
favorably got a few votes but failed
to carry. A second motion to strike
it from the calendar passed, with no
senator voting for the resolution

opening of the season. Mr.. Savage
was accompanied by his wife and is
here to make Topeka his permanent
home.
Not Making Promises.
Upon being asked what he thought
the prospects are, Mr.. Savage gave out
the following statement:
II am not making any promises.
Things look pretty good to me, and 1
am going to give Topeka the very best
baseball 1 possibly can. Letters from
the members of last years team indi-
cate that all of the players are anx-
ious to come back and expect to work
hard to boost the team to first di-
vision place in the league.
New Players.
81 have signed Jimmy Jackson as
manager of the team, and from the
record he has made in the Tri-State
league 1 think 1 have manager who
will stack up with the best of them
There are no hold-outs so far among
the old players, and I am going to get
two new pitchers and an infielder
from the Kansas City association club
and have new pitcher, who is said
to be exceptionally good, coming from
the Pacific coast.
LAS I say, L am making no prom
ises, but I think 1 can say with abso-
lutte confidence that Topeka will have
a team that will be a credit to the
town ana tndl Will play western
league ball all the time"
Mr.. Savage also said that he had
received contracts from 10 of the / A
players who were held over from last
season and that he was expecting no
hold-outs. He expects to begin the
training season some time between
the 25th and 30th of the month and
expects Jackson to be here about the
goth.
Probable New Men.
A young catcher, whose name was
men who will probably report here for
a try out, is a promising young
pitcher from WestmOreland, Kan.
This new catcher was one of the best
in his league last season, and the new
pitcher is James H. Cobb, who made
a record as a semi-professional play
err last year. Whether or not this
young pitcher is a relative of the ia
nous Ty Cobb is not known, but his
record shows that he made an excep-
tional showing last year, pitching
three no hit games during the season,
one of which was against the K. 8.
A. c. team.
Mr.. Savage said that he would
probably begin the training season
with enough candidates for every
other position to enable him to pick a
good all around man for every place.
All during the day Mr.. Savage was
busy taking over the correspondence
of the old club owners, looking over
the club grounds, and lining up things
in general. At conference with
the club, Mr.. Catlin assured him that
the old directors would do everything
possible to help him get the team
started in good shape.

an active part on this occasion,
which will be of grave importance TO

yenient to be at the Lodge at the ap,
pointed time.
