'SP0TLESS TOWN
Topeka Is To Be Made I'm.
macuIate by Ordinance.
Proposed Law Hardly Less
Drastic Than State Statute.

A drastic ordinance, making it a
misdemeanor for a person to leave al
most anything loose or scattered about
ones premises that might fall within
the definition of litter, rubbish, gar
bage, or trash, was given second read
ing by the city commission today. The
ordinance has eight sections and is
patterned otter a state law on the
same matter. Although drastic, it was
modified and made less so, than is the
state law. 1t will not be necessary for
man to sweep his barn three times
a week as required by the state law.
The city will be satisfied if the clean
ing is done twice each week and the
sweepings locked up in an alright
strong box.
If the ordinance is rigidly enforced
Topeka will be a spotless town, but the
Jail may be overcrowded. Not only
does the ordinance tell what Topekans
must mot do to the streets and alleys
of the city, but it also includes private
premises and tells whether the occu-
pants of first or other floors of build
ings are responsible for the conditions
of back yards. The occupant of a
first floor of a building is responsible
for any hitler found in the back yard,
and if he cleans up the yard and his
upstairs neighbor dumps some tin cans
out the back window, the burden of
proof is on the first floor man.
And if a man wishes to enrich his
lawn by using well rotted compost
we'll, it might be a technical violation
of the ordinance.

To BUY new BOOKS
State Text Book Commission Is
in Session.
For the Purpose of Letting
Five-Year Contracts.

Representatives of nearly thirty
publishing firms are in Topeka today
to attend the letting of contracts for
school texts by the state school text
book commission. A number of con-
tracts for texts will probably be let
this week. The first session of the
commission was held this afternoon in
the offices of the secretary in the state
printing plant.
Under the school text book law as
amended by the 1915 legislature, max
imum prices for texts are eliminated
and the commission was this year able
to secure bids from a number of COM
panies which had previously refused
to bid in this state. A long list of con-
tracts is to be let This afternoon
members of the commission were I'M
certain whether the letting would be
adjourned to a later date or disposed
of at this time. The contracts for
texts will be for term of five years.
Bonds offered by the various COM
panieS in lieu of a contract, were ap-
proved today by the state executive
council and were filed with ]. T. Bot
kin, secretary of state. Should the
text book commission decide to dis
pose of the bids at this time, it is
probable that the session will continue
several DAYS.

TO TRY new LAW
Application for Parole of Trus-
kett To Be Heard.
Special Legislation Was En-
acted to Cover the Case.

Application for a parole in the A. A
Truskett case will be heard at Ian
sing state prison Tuesday, by the state
board of corrections. Judge w. G..
Smith, executive clerk in the office
of Governor Capper, went to Lansing
today to attend the hearing.
Truskett was convicted of murder
in Montgomery county several years
ago. A new trial was granted and a
hung jury resulted in the second trial
Later a jury found Truskett not guilty
of murder, but held that he was in
sane at the rime of the killing. Thorn
as Neeley, a well known oil operator,
was Truskett's victim. The killing took

Under the law enacted in 1909,
Truskett was sent to the state peni-
Tertiary and committed TO the hos
pital for criminally insane. The law
required approval of the trial judge
before an insane prisoner could be
liberated. Judge Flannelley, who
heard the evidence in the case, re-
fused to sign an application for pa
role.
In the recent session of the leSisla-
ture, the law was amended to provide
that parole might be granted by the
board of corrections, regardless of the
protest of the trial judge. The amend

self i'm Memorial Hall
And Take All Her Birds and
Reptiles With Her.

Mrs. B. B. Smythe today won her
fight for retention as curator OF the
Goss collection In official acton TO-
day, the state executive council over
ruled w. E. Connelley, secretary OF the
State Historical society, in his f1ght
on Mrs Smythe and adopted a resolu-
ton directing Connelley to retain the
Topeka woman permanently.
The Connelley-Smythe fight is SAID
to have originated when Mrs Smythe
protested against the arbitrary re-
movaI of the GOss collection under her
supervision to the State Memorial hall.
Tt was claimed that the removal of
the collection to Memorial hall meant
the displacement of Mrs Smythe. rms
Secretary Connelley filed with the
executive council a letter virtually
telling Mrs. Smythe to take her stuffed
birds and snakes and go home.
In the Goss collection are numbe

effect that Mrs. Smyt.he could take her

gracefully as possible. In the letter.
it was also suggested that the Secretry
of the historical society be empower
ed to employ an expert to polish up
the assortment of exhibits in the Goss
collection and place them permanent
ly in the new Memorial hall.
The executive council did almost ev-
erything except follow Secretary Con-
nelley's suggestion. 1t adopted a res
oIution stating that in the sense of
the council. Connelley should make
arrangements to retain Mrs. Smythe
and place her in permanent control
of the Goss coll ectiOn-as he had
promised to do. Then to make GER

SUFFRAGE LOSES
IN NEW JERSEY
LEADER COMEDIES DEFEAT. IN
WILSON'S STATE.
Election Not Close-Despite Heavy
Majority Against Them, However,
Women Plan for Another
Campaign.

Jersey City, n. j., Oct. 19.-New
Jersey registered at the polls today
an emphatic no to woman's appeal
for the ballot. Indications at mid
night were that "votes for women" had
met defeat in each of the States 81
counties and that the majority against
adoption of the constitutional amend
ment to enfranchise women was be-
tween $4,000 and 10000.
Undaunted by the overwhelming
tide against them, suffrage leaders an
nounced tonight they will start tomor-
row with new plans intent upon pledg-
ing candidates for the legislature to
permit them to vote next spring for
presidential electors.
Unofficial returns from nearly two.
thirds of the districts in the State
showed that in 1922 out of 1891 dis
tricts the vote was 9S,275 for the
amendment and 124,1 against it, a
majority of 35,S44 against suffrage.
Suffrage lost in every big city and
in nearly every town. Where it did
win the majority was small.
Mrs. E. F. Feickert, president of
the New Jersey State Woman SUIT
frage association, conceded defeat
within an hour and a half after the
polls had been closed. Later in the
night she issued a statement charging
"unfair tactics" on the part of the
anti-suffragists.
Hudson and Essex counties, where a
big fight centred, apparently gave de-
cisive majoritieS against the amend
ment.
Passaic county apparently was
close, with the amendment defeated.
The city of Trenton and Mercer
county, early returns indicated, voteo
against the amendment by big ma
jority.
President Wilson's own precinct, the
Seventh election district of Princeton
borough, voted: For suffrage Ga,
against $50.
The only county in the State which
seemed to be certain to go for suf-
frage was Cape Cay. Early returns
indicated that the majority for the
amendment there would approximate
800. Burlington county was claime,.
for suffrage by the women leaders.
Where suffrage triumphed returns
showed the majorities to be small.
The country communities in many
cases voted against the amendment
Coupled with admission of defeat
Mrs. Feickert embodied a promise of
renewed fight next spring.

CHARGES MCDONALD WITH
SHOOTING OF SIDNEY COHEN.
Jerry Dunn Gives Sensational Testi-
mony at Charleston Inquest-Oth-
er Witnesses Tell Their Tales.

Charleston, Oct. 19.-Tomorrom
Coroner Mansfield expects will sec
concluded the inquest into the death
which was an incident of the gunplay
that broke up a session of the city
Democratic executive committee last
Friday noon. Today's session, which
began at 10:45 o'clock in the morn
ing and was suspended only an hour
for luncheon, did not end until this
evening at $3.50 o'clock. Several new
lines of testimony were opened but
these tended rather to incriminate in
the affray persons not heretofore ac-
cused than to throw light on the main
question as to whose hand fired the
shot which brought down Mr.. Cohen.
One witness, Jerry w. Dunn, made the
first direct imputation of guilt for
that homicide. He said he saw one
of the two men now in arrest. Ed
ward r. Mcdonald, shoot Mr.. Cohen
in the back, though he would not say
the shot was deliberately aimed at
the newspaper man. Some evidence
was adduced tending to show that the
police took special care to keep down
trouble, whereas testimony from 9TH
er quarters was that police actively
participated in the disorder. Two wit
nesses said they saw policeman
stand in the doorway and deliberately
fire into the committee room. Allen
Legare said he heard Plain Clothes
Officer Hogan, after conversing in low
tons with Chief Cantwell, say, "All
right, there will be hell when | get
to them," whereupon Hogan entered
committee headquarters and a COM
motion eliminating in pistol shots i'm
mediately broke out there.
E. A. Cobia said he heard Hogan.
say, 81 am going to get what came
for or they will have to carry me off
in a wagon"
w. B. Hearon, who admitted he had
been tried for murder and acquitted,
Mayor Grace being his attorney in
that case, testified that he saw Hogan
fire into the committee room and
this, he said, was the first shot he
heard. Further evidence directly
charging the prisoner, Henry J..
Brown, with shooting William E. Win
gate was introduced. The inquest will
be resumed under military guard as
today at $50 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
