SUNDAY A PLAGIARIST?
Baseball Evangelist's Former Secre.
tary to Bat With Grave Charges.

Phila delphia, June 16.-" Billy
Sundays most effective sermons were
plagiarized.''
Bentley d. Ack1ey former secretary
of the baseball evangelist, made that
statement today when he charged that
alleged sermons Sunday delivered at
his REVEALS in this city, Paterson
and elsewhere were almost exact
counterparts of those delivered by
Evangelists Sam Jones. Talmage and
Gypsy Smith.
Ackley alleged that "Billy's" SER
mon, New Birth" which seldom
failed to reap harvest of ''sawdust
trail hitters," was preached several
years ago by Gypsy Smith. He fur
Their declared he himself took the ser
mon in shorthand when Smith deliv-
cred it at Winona Lake.
The former secretary also alleged
that Sundays sermon on the Ten
Commandments was also from the
writings of Evangelist Talmage and
that Chickens Come Home to Roost"
was first delivered by Sam Jones,

MOTOR COP VS.. CAT.
WEIGH and Feline Stage Decisive Bout
on Klein Street.

A big black tomcat, alleged to have
been mad by the woman whose house
it refused to vacate, and Verne WEIGH.
motorcycle policeman, staged an excit-
ing and decisive battle which lasted
for several minutes in a house in the
900 block on Klein street this morn
ing.
According to report made to the
desk sergeant at the station the cat
invaded the house Tuesday evening
and was welcomed. This morning the
excited voice of a woman poured a
tale of terror into the sergeant's ear
over the phone and asked that a po-
1iceman- be dispatched to the scene.
WEIGH was sent to the rescue. The
motorcop discovered a crowd around
the house and the cat strongly en-
trenched behind the stove in the
kitchen. '"That cat is raving mad
the woman informed him. but don't
shoot it there, you'll ruin my new
linoIeum."
Selling a bloom that stood in the
corner of the room WEIGH climbed on
top of the stove and attacked the cat
from the rear. Taken by surprise the
cat gave leap and upset a stack of
dishes. Then a lively scramble be-
tween WEIGH and the feline followed.
After various and sundry dives and
how1s the cat escaped throvg h a win
dow and dashed down the alley
through a scrambling crowd of Curl
Gus persons.

MULROY HAS RETIRED.
Hotel Inspector Closes Up Office and
Goes Home.

Having received no encouragement mt
or relief from Governor Capper, Miles
Mulroy. state hotel inspector, today
closed his office and retired from pub
lie service. Mulroy's final report
showed that the receipts of the office
had this year fallen nearly $1,000
short of paying expenses. while the
recent legislature provided for 1914
deficit of some $1,000.
Recently the governor wrote let
ter to Mulroy in which the hotel in
spector was advised that in the inter-
ests of economy it would be we'll to
close shop. Mulroy then concluded
that his office would pay expenses if
a few deputies were dispensed with
and he was permitted to buy an auto
mobile for hotel inspection work.
Neither Governor Capper nor w. E.
Davis. state auditor approved the
automobile purchasing plan and Null
roy today surrendered his office.

VOTING COMES HIGH.
Elections in Topeka Cost City $4,000
Year.

Two thousand dollars Is the esti-
mated expense for elections to be held
in Topeka during the year 1916.
While the cost of county primaries
and elections is paid by the county,
that part of the expense incurred in
tha city is charged against the city by
the county and deducted by the county
from the taxes due to the city. So
the city in preparing budget for the
year must include election expenses in
arriving at q correct basis for fixing
a tax levy.
Miss Eta Covel1, city clerk, today
turned over to w. H. WATSON, city
commissioner of finance, her estimate
of funds necessary for the running
of her office for the year 1916. The
information is to be used in prepar-
ing the 1916 budget.
The work formerly done by the city
commissioner of elections now falls
to the city clerk on account of the
abolishing of that office. For this
reason $1,050 is asked for extra clerks.
$4,000 is asked to meet the expense of
election judges and clerks, and $35O
for meals for election boards and rent
of polling places. Printing, books, sta
tionery, etc, call for $3.50. The salary
of the city clerk and deputy call for
$4,000.
Il believe my budget request is 800
less than what was made last year for
the city clerks office, but L do not
know because L have never been fur
nished with copy of last years bud
get, although / have made frequent
requests for the same" said Miss
COVeli
