that the present bridge was unsafe
and that use of the structure for heavy
car service was hazardous. So Helm
was told to wait and in some circles
it was assumed that the order by the
Kansas commission would block fur
Their building of the road at least one

Stubbs Line on South Side.
Some time ago a new interurban
company was chartered with w R.
Stubs, former governor, as one OF
the principal stockholders and. incor-
porators. Stubs and ]. L. BriStow
have preached the same political gos-
pei since reform and crusa ding struck
a popular note in Kansas. The Stubbs
line was to be built on the south side
of the Kaw river to Topeka. The
Helm line was surveyed north of the
river. So when the Bristow commits
sion refused to give the Helm line an
opportunity to enter South Lawrence,
the Stubs company had won a decid-
ed point in the play for position.
Checked Up to Stubs.
The Kansas City promoter, how
ever. is quite willing to meet the Bris-
tow order a full half way. If he can't
cross the present bridge at Lawrence,
he will deliver passengers on the north
side of the river and continue to build
his line into Topeka-on the north
side So the matter is quite thorough
to build a south side line.
OF course Helm would be glad to
enter South Lawrence with his road.
But he will meet the Bristow order
without complaint and refuse to give
up the immediate construction of the
new road to Topeka.
Operate in so Days.
In a statement today Helm declared
that permission to construct a tenn
porary bridge might be asked.
I'VE are just as much concerned in
the safety of a bridge as the commits
sion" said Helm in discussing the or
der. I'VE have the tracks laid into
North Lawrence and will be ready to
operate in sixty days We will stop in
North Lawrence until proper arrange
ments can be made for crossing the
river. We may ask permission to
construct a temporary bridge of
pilling. AS for delays, though. there
will be none. We expect to build
right into Topeka"
Recently it was announced that cars
would be operated into Topeka over
the Helm line not later than January
l, 1917. The Bristow order will not
change Helms plans, it was an
nounced.

Germany has made life as disagree

at the Y. w. c. A. last night. Mr..
RousseI has been touring the country

native Alsatian costume.
French has been prohibited in the
lost provinces, says Mr.. Roussel, and
the invading government is making
strenuous efforts to stamp out the last
vestige of the Gaul. Many petty,
boOrish rulings are perpetrated on the
population, according to the speaker,
who told of the German ruling that
all signs must be painted in Germany

French signs have been hanging un-

KANSAS BANKS FULL

banks, White and his associates re-
ceiving the money.
Finding Much Trouble.
AS a result of the operations said
to have been employed by the men in
charge of the hail and live stock insur-
ance companies, the books of the con-
Germ are giving the accountants all
manner of trouble. Where notes were
taken and used as collateral at the
expenses to the various companies is
a puzzle to the men who have tried
to untangle the insurance muddle. In
cluded in collateral to a bank might be
notes for policies from one or all of
the three White companies. The man
ner in which the money from these
loans was applied and the distribution
of discounts and expenses are a maze
Of puzzling and mystifying uncertain
ties.
There is another thing that is caus-
ing trouble. Many of the notes were
for policies now in effect. Yet the
permits of the insurance companies
have been cancelled and the payment
of losses is a matter of uncertainty
at least until the present trouble is adj
justed. Now there is doubt as to
whether the insurance companies,
White and his associates or the Kan
sas banks will lose on these accounts.
In One Bank $4,000.
One Kansas bank is known to hold
r early s25, 900 worth of the White in
surance companies paper Other
banks in various parts of the state
have smaller sums, it is claimed.
Clay Hamilton, receiver for the in
surance companies, today spent an
hour in conference with John Hunt,
assistant attorney general. and Com
missioner Benson. The financial af-
fairs of the White companies were dis
cussed. After the conference Benson
stated that none of the state banks in
Topeka held paper of the insurance
companies now in the receivership.
In one Topeka bank, however, Re
ceiver Hamilton found a credit of
$2.17O. The account was credited per-
sonally to White and was taken over
by Hamilton as a part of the assets of
the company. White claims the
money and probably will make an eff
fort to force it's return.
Investigation of the books and rec
ords of the insurance companies is be-
ing conducted under Hamilton'S direc-
ton. 1t was as a result of the inves-
that facts concerning the
transactions with a number of state
banks came to light
