PORTER IS VEXED.
Park Commissioner Has Been Bur-
dened With New Duties.

w. L. Porter, city commissioner of
parks, has a grievance. Just because
he had an emergency sewer pump in
stalled in North Topeka to pump flood
water and sewage in times of high
water, he finds that he has fallen heir
to the job of operating the pump. One
would expect work of that kind to be
looked after by the street department,
but Porter has been doing it. But
this is not half of Porter's troubles.
When the rain was at its worst
Thursday afternoon, Porter was
drawing solace from his favorite pipe
and congratulating himself upon be-
ing comfortably housed in his office.
He had spent the better part of the
morning attending that pump. All
the water which needed pumping had
been lifted over the dixie and Porter
was feeling good in the thought that
no more pumping needed to be done.
Then the telephone rang and Por-
ter was informed that the country in
the vicinity of that pump was being
flooded and that the water had to be
pumped imme diately or sooner. Quick
action was demanded and Porter re-
sponded with all haste. He was in
such a hurry he dropped his favorite
pipe. 1t scattered in pieces over the
floor. That was the last straw. 1t
broke Porter's patience. The things
he said-well, what he said did not
mend the pipe.

BOL|NCER WINS SUIT.
Is Awarded Verdict for $497.5O
Against Johanna Adams.

Having laid aside the maynard
practices which once rendered herself
and her husband, Bee" conspicuous
figures in police circles of Topeka,
Johanna Adams also undertook to lay
aside her financial responsibility to
Arthur J. Bolinger, the attorney who
guided her footsteps through at least
21 cases in police court, the court of
Topeka and the district courts of this
county. Bolinger sued her for dam
ages and a jury in Judge A. w. Dana's
court this morning brought in a YER
dict for the full amount he demanded
$497.50.
The Adamses have been living in
Kansas City. They formerly sold Ii
quor in Topeka and accumulated some
property. Bolinger laid the founda-
ton for his operations against his for
mer client by levying an attachment
upon enough property to satisfy a
judgment, in the case he got one.

WHAT OF DIVERS?
Daniels Wants to Know Cause
of Submarine Failure.
Poor Showing Made at Naval
Review Proves Inefficiency.

Washington, May 2s.-What is the
matter with Uncle Sans submarines
Secretary Daniels wants to know.
With unofficial reports indicating
that half of the twelve submarines as
signed to participate in the war game
with the Atlantic fleet were at least
partially ineffective, Secretary Daniels
has announced his determination to
make a thorough investigation to find
the cause of, and, if possible, a remedy
for the too frequent breakdowns OF
the navy's underwater craft.
Boats Are Obsolete.
"With the growing Importance OF
the submarine as an instrument OF
warfare" said the secretary, Il feel
that too much attention cannot be paid
to this branch of the service and ev-
cry effort of the department will be
directed to improving the records
made by the submarines during the re-
cent maneuvers. The submarine is
still in an experimental stage and the
boat of two years ago, as compared
with those now in active service
abroad, is probably even more COM
obsolete than an automo-
bile of three years ago..
