Bill in Senate to Reduce Grade
Crossing Accidents.
Senator Nixon Would Protect
Auto Joy Riders.
RAILWAY LINES ARE WILLING
Companies Would Cut Hedges
If Owners Are Induced.
Five-FOOt Limit at Distance of
Eight Rods.

IAN act for the protection of joy
riders would be the proper title to a
bill introduced in the senate today by
Senator Nixon OF Sumner county. The
bill, as matter of fact. has good
deal of merit. 1t provides that at all
railway crossings in Kansas where
hedge fence approaches the crossing
the fence must be kept cut down to not
more than five feet high for a distance
Of eight rods from the highway.
There have been considerable num-
Der OF grade crossing accidents in Kan
sas in the last few years. due chiefly to
the fact that the drivers OF horses and
of motor cars and in q few cases Of
preaching train because Of high hedge
fences. Keeping the hedge fences
trimmed down it would be possible to
see several hundred yards up and down
a railroad track from a highway. suf-
ficient TO give driver of any vehicle q
chance to stop before reaching the
tracks.
Until a short time ago the railroads
themselves made no effort to keep the
hedges trimmed along their rights Of
way or to keep the weeds down. In re-
cent years the railroads have tried to
dodge as many damage suits as possible
and avoid injuring and killing and kill
ing people and some OF the roads now
see to 1t that the hedges are trimmed.
If the railroads had the authority to
force it they are willing. in many in
stances to do the work Of keeping the
hedges trimmed if the land owners
would let them. But some owners Of
hedge fences will not permit the fence
to be trimmed. the railroads can't force
it and the hedges stand as a menace
to every passerby.
The Nixon bill simply provides that
all hedges must be kept trimmed back
eight rods from the highway or the
right OF way of the company. The
hedge may be only five feet high. 1t
does not delegate to any one the au-
thority to do it but requires that the
trimming must be done. The railroads
will welcome the bill and most of the
roads will see to 1t that the law Is obeyed
as they will do the trimming or force
the land owners to obey the law and
do the work themselves.

Ford explained at length the profit
sharing plan. His firm pays wages
fifteen per cent above those paid In
other plants, he said, and in addition.
employees eligible-and the majority
of them are-participate in the prof.

eight hours instead of nine as former
ly, and no one receives less than IS
a day for his labor. Careful records
are kept of every employee and his
work is carefully watched.
"Our first purpose in establishing
this PLAN" Ford said, was to give
justice to our co-workers, without
whom we could have accomplished
nothing. We had had great success
and in fact we desired no greater sue
cess from the financial point OF view
So we put this plan into effect we
do not regard it as in any sense a gift
or a charity but only due reward for
service. No man is Influenced to
change his way of living. or his habits

sharing plan.

Foot and Mouth Trouble Re
ported in Topeka Home.
Albert Burel, ssS Lake ST, Said
TO Be Under Suspicion.
TEAM DIED OF DREAD PLAGUE
City Officers Have No Record
of Dead Horses, IT'S Said.
Something Has Been Over
looked in Sanitary Condition.

Albert Burel, teamster' living at
32S Lake street, is suspected of having
foot and mouth disease, Aaron Green,
a sanitary policeman, reported the
matter to the sanitary department to-
day. In his report the. sanitary officer
said that a team belonging to the man
had recently died and that the neigh
Tins of the foot and mouth plague.
Burefs face is badly swollen, his
mouth is sore and one jaw is en-
larged. The neighbors fear that the
man has contracted the dread disease
from hts team. The case was also re-
ported to Dr. J. c. McGill by a wom-
an who had started to enter the Burel
house, but had been warned away.
DR.. McGill made an investigation.
He said:
II do not believe it. Is foot and
mouth disease BECAUSE do not believe
it is possible for human beings to
have that disease. I. found the mans
mouth in bad condition-about the
worst ever saw-but believe he has
an infection from bad. teeth. 1 was
called to see him three weeks ago.
Frankly, 1 was not able to make up
my mind then just what was wrong
with him, but believed then and still
believe that his trouble is due to bad
teeth and the condition in which he
and the family are living"
I Although he had heard about the
two horses dying, the city physician
made no investigation as to what
caused their deathS.S.
1 All the veterinarians in the CITY,
who are listed in the. telephone direc-
tory, were asked whether they had
been called to care for any horses be-
longing to Bure1. None was located
who knew anything about them. The

(which gathered up animals dying in

Etwo horses were taken from Burel.
|. But there is nothing to indicate what
Ecaused their DEATH
/ II do not remember whether the
animals were dead when our men
went after them, or whether our men
killed them and I know of no way of
finding out what was the matter with
Ethem, said Burton Hill.
I DR.. Leslie ROw1es. city milk sinspec-
tor. says he is quite sure there is no
foot and mouth disease in the state
Eof Kansas, but he sdiafiiot let his opin-
ion prevent his making an investiga-
ton. II there is foot and mouth dis
ease in Topeka, he intends to know it.
| DIR. McGill turnedathe case over. to
DR.. c. c. Lull, county health officer
holding that as Burels, disease is not
contagious. bit that the 7amnily is in
destitute circufhstances,i It Is a matter
for the county to care for. He took
the precaution, however. of notifying

case has been reported as foot and

FIGHT IN THE MUD
Germans Make Fierce Night
= Attack ON the Allies.
Three Desperate Assaults Re.
pulsed by the British.

London, jan PA fierce night at
tack in the region of Visny, in which
the Germans repeatedly stormed the
allied trenches but were finally beaten
back and forced to give ground for 900
yards, is reported in dispatches from
Amsterdam today.
Leaping out of their trenches. the
Germans advanced over ground that
had been converted into a quagmire by
rain and snow, and succeeded in reach
ing the wire entanglements before the
