HObOeS i'm Wichita Mass : Getting Make
Demands on City.

Wichita, Kan, June 3.-While the
army of unemployed in the city be-
comes larger every time a freight
train arrives, finances of the men get
lower and lower. The majority of
that harvest was starting, and that all
they would have to do would be apply
for a job. The men are now seeking
some means of providing for them
selves until the harvest starts. At a
gathering of the unemployed held on
East Douglas avenue, in front of an
employment office, the men discussed
the question of securing ratlonS until
they were able to obtain work
1.-The city has to provide for us,
stated one. I'VE have enough mem
bers in the city to demand it, and If
they don't they will hear from us in
more ways than one" THE wealth or
this country is unequally distributed,
said another, land we should have a
living as well as those who possess the
money, because we helped them to get
it, The men suggested appointing
a committee to call on the mayor and
demand that he do something to sup
ply them with provisions until harvest
Another plan proposed by the men
was to organize when harvest starts
and compel the farmers to pay them
more wages to make up for the time
spent in waiting. They'll only be too
glad to do this stated one of the
men, ''as they have to have us or let
their crops spoil"

SAVING To Topeka
Traffic Association Worth $780,
900 Last Year.
Annual Election and Banquet
Held Last Night.

1t is estimated that through the in
fiuence of the Topeka Traffic associa-
ton in procuring freight rate reduc-
ton, local shippers are saved at least
100000 annually.
The fact that the association has
proven even more of Il success than
was anticipated when the organization
was perfected three years ago was
brought out at the annual meeting at
the Commercial club quarters We'd
nesday night 81 think the associa-
ton is one of the best things that
ever happened to Topeka" comment
ed Charles P. Adams 1T is a well
organized and well run institution"
81 think it is becoming almost pub
lie benefactor,'' said w. H. Davis.
George P. McEntire, the father"
of the association, Samuel f. Lux and
]. F. Haskell were chosen to succeed
themselves as directors of the or
ganization for a term of three years

by the board.
1.-The amount of money secured in
refunds for our members since the last
annual meeting is $6.920.27 for a
period of about II y months" said H.
d. Driscoll, commissioner. in his re-
port. From May 1, 1914, to May 1,
1915. the amount collected was So
443.31. There is, at the present time
outstanding in claims $3,147.55-many
of these claims have only been recent
~ filed.
Loss and damage claims amount to
two or three thousand dollars annual
~: and the results have been very ia
vorable.
"A great many members are re-
ferring undercharge corrections TO
this office before payment, and it has
oeen found profitable to so handle
them as fully fifty per cent of same

AN average of thirty-five phone
quotations are made each working
day. which amount to more than
10000 phone quotations per year in
addition to statements of rates in
writing furnished to members. many
of whic, contain several thousand
figures"
Commissioner DriScOll then review
ed the cases that been handled by
the association in the last twelve
months.
The association closed the year with
all dues paid and $4S collected in adj
vance dueS-an unusual showing for
any kind of an Organiza ton.
Eight new members have been
added in the LAST twelve months and
there are others who would like to
get in this year.
The application by n Santa F'e Of
ficia1 for membership brought on a
discussion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of the
admission of railway representatives.

and should give information concern
ing scholarship, moral character, and
reputation, with special reference with
the applicants capacity for leadership.
The purpose of the scholarship is to
assist some worthy young man or
woman, who when educated, will be
much beyond the average in value to
the community. 1t is hoped that the
one person will hold the scholarship
from the time of the award until
graduation but the scholarship may be
withdrawn at the end of any term If
the scholar is no longer considered
highly promising.

sometimes the others of the combatants.
The two groups of belligerent nations
complain Of the attitude of the American
government in equally vigorous terms.
Each time one of these cases arises Is 1t
not proof that the government of the
United States is conscientiously observing
the rules of neutrality?
1.-THE Germans or the Allies may at
times find that we are exacting-that the
American government sticks too closely
to these rules. The war will not last
forever. When it is finished such or such
a nation will perhaps be glad that we
have maintained the rules against which
she protested today.
France will avoid the error of believ-
ing what individuals of the peoples IN
the conflict often think-that is, that he
who is not actively for them is against
them. AS to my own sentiments regard
ing France, I addressed a letter to the
President of the French Republic tina,

1T is indeed difficult to reply. ia
vorable symptom appears, however. in

show a better disposition on the part OF
the principal Mexican chiefs to under
stand why they have to respect the lives
and interests Of foreigners. Nothing shall

to accentuate these tendencies"
