THREATEN A RECALL.
Lawrence Citizens Demand Better
Sanitary Conditions of Sewers.

Lawrence, Kan. June 17.-Peop1e
in the districts affected by the recent
rains and high water here are up in
arms over the alleged delinquency of
the city officials in the matter of
flooded sanitary sewers. Threats to
recall the mayor; to bring damage
suits or call in the state sanitary en-
gineer have been made and protests
have been filed with the city COM
mission.
Two men appeared at the last COM
mission meeting representing the
South Side Improvement League and
demanded that the ordinances cover
ing the sewer situation be enforced.
They say that cellars have been food
ed three times with back water from
the sanitary sewers and that the
houses were made unfit to live in by
the sewage washed into the Easements.
Three times we have had our eel
lars made into cess pools, and we are
getting tired of it, said the delega-
ton.
Residents in the affected district
have been put to a great expense and
at least one family has been forced to
move. Dancer of a typhoid epidemic
is imminent, according to the state
ments of the spokesman. They said
that the houses could not be occupied

RAILROAD NEWS
Drummers Protest Against Pro-
visions of Cummins Act.
Say 1t Will Mean the Elimina-
ton of Their Work.
IT WILL HIT JEWELRY HOUSES
of Trunk Values
Will Be Severe Blow.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

Some commercial travellers believe
that the railroads are slowly poisoning
the goose that lays the golden egg. In
protesting the enforcement of the
Cummins amendment to the interstate
commerce act they say any further
burdening of travelling men and their
houses with expenses may result in
the elimination of the drummer. They
claim to furnish so per cent of the
passenger traffic in this country and
assert that their work is responsible
for thousands of dollars worth of
freight business for the roads.
The Cummins act, against which
they are aligned. provides that the
value of goods in a passengers trunk
must be correctly stated before a
check can be issued. 1t is also pro-
vided that the passenger shall pay 10
500 in value. According to a recent
Interpretation by the interstate COM
merce commission the incorrect state
ment of value lays the passenger liable
to Jail sentence.
The travellers say that many mer-
camille houses, particularly jewelry
houses, whose trunks are especially
valuable, carry floating insurance and
that the extra protection demanded
under the new law is an unnecessary
expense. Further than that they are
not hopeful that the roads will be will
ing to settle promptly in case trunks
cation in such cases with another
large sum diverted to the pockets of
attorneys.
Another point made by the drum
mers is that while the contents of a
sample case may be valuable at the
beginning of a trip they will depreci-
ate rapidly either through wear,
change of styles or decreased demand
for such articles.
The commercial traveller, they say,
is left without any protection for his
goods despite his extra tax, if the
roads are able to prove that the value
of the trunk as stated at the begin
ming of the trip was either over or I'M
derstated. They believe that there
would be less complaint over the
selves were permitted to place the
values at their discretion. 1t is claim
ed that many houses would not object
to the payment of few hundred dol
lars per year for little extra pro-
lection.
Claiming that the 100000 CONNER
cial travellers in the country put hun
dreds of thousands of dollars into the
treasures of the roads, they complain
that the railways have been raising
instead of granting special concessions
to the fraternity. Business is harass-
ed enough as it is without further
pernicious legislation, according to one
summary of the case.
The railroads, in answering the de-
mand of the travellers for more favor
able rates, point out the records of
revenues and expenses for the past
few years. 1t has never been disputed
that while the operating expenses are
continually soaring to the skies, the
railroad officers say, the revenues de-
rived from freight and passenger rates
have dropped to a lower figure than
ever before.
