HIT BY A STREET CAR
Several Injured When Jitney Is Struck
Saturday Night.

Miss Velma Swearingen, 1927 East
Sixth avenue, and Miss Ruth Lane of
Lawrence are suffering from serious
internal injuries as the result of an
accident Saturday night when a jit-
ney in which they were riding was hit
by street car. The other occupants
of the jitney, Miss Avis Erwin, 1924
East Sixth avenue, and the driver, es-
capped with a few painful bruises.
Both the driver and Miss Erwin
claim that the motorman did not ring
the bell. The force of the impact
knocked the jitnsy twenty feet away,
without overturning it. Both Miss
Lane and Miss Swearingen were
thrown clear of the auto, one of them
evidently being thrown thru the top.
They were placed Immediately under
the care of DR.. w. S. Hunter, who an
nounced this morning that both girls
were injured internally but that their
condition had improved last night be-
yond the danger point.

MUST PAY FORFEIT
Contractors on Topeka Paving May Be
Behind Contract Time.

A number of Topeka contractors
will be obliged to pay the city forfeits
this fall for the non-completion of
their paving work within the contract
time. Such is the opinion of Commits
sioner Tandy.
Announcement was made several
days ago that thirty-nine blocks of
brick paving, under construction, had
been tied up on account of the in
ability of contractors to obtain vitri-
fled brick. Since then only a few car
loads of brick have arrived. Most of
the contracts call for the compile
ton of paving work by October Is.
L believe attempts of contractors to
purchase cheaper brick which would
comply with the specifications is one
reason for the delay said Commits
sioner Tandy. They didn't know the
prevailing price and upon discovering
it decided to attempt to get better
prices from other plants. AS a result
they were tardy in getting in their
orders"

GERMANY CALLS ALLIES
Big Noise Over Executing British
Nurse; but France Does Same.

Berlin, Aug. 2S.-"In Marseilles on
August 22 woman named Pfaat, %
years old, was shot as a spy" says
the Overseas news agency. she had
appealed against the death sentence of
the court martial at Marseilles but
the Paris court of appeals rejected
Ter plea.
1.-The Cologne Gazette states this Is
rot the first case in which the French
Eave put woman to death during
the war. 1t recalls the agitation of
the English and French press in re-
gard to the case of Miss Edith Cavell
whose execution for high treason and
continued spying caused these news
papers to express indignation.
THE Cologne Gazette asks whether
the same ideas will hold good now
that German woman has been put
to death by the French"
A Marseilles dispatch of August %
told of the execution of Felice Pfaar
as a spy. The charge against Miss
Edith Cavell, who was put to death
in Brussels last fall was given in dis
patches. at that time as having as
sisted British, French and Delgians to
escape from Belgium.

FRENCH SUBWAY
Would Cost 100000 Pounds
Says Engineer.
Tunnel Under English Chan
mel Is a Feasible Scheme.

Paris, Aug. 2S.-France has taken
all the necessary steps to enter into
negotiations with England to build
Jointly a tunnel under the English
channel to connect the two countries.
the long talked of project which the
war has revived because it has dem
onstrated as nothing else could the
value of the tube to both countries.
Had the tunnel been in existence
during the present conflict it would
have been of immeasurable value to
England and France for the trans
portation of troops and supplies and
would have liberated French and Brit
ish war vessels from one of their big
gest tasks.
Each Nation Bear Half Expense.
The plans were outlined by NJ. Sar-
tiaux, chief engineer of the Nord Rail
way company, who is one of the
strongest advocates of the project. He
said:
1.-The tunnel will cost 10000
pounds, half of which would be borne
by England and half by France. Each
country would bore one-half of the
tunnel. Well, Britain is spending just
now 100000 pounds per day and
France 100000 pounds SO that two
days wartime expenditure of both
countries would more than cover the
cost of making the tunnel
Would Have Double Tunnel.
'It is proposed to make two tunnels,
one for traffic from France to Eng
land, another for traffic from England
to France. Some people seem to think
a croSS-channel tunnel might be a
danger, because it might fall into the
hands of the enemy. To capture the
French end would not be an easy task.
The mouth of the tunnel on French soil

in order to reach it the enemy would
have to capture Calais, and negotiate
three intervening hills of an average
height of $50 feet.
THE tunnel on the French side
would begin its journey under sea at
Sangatte. In my belief it would be
| impossible for an enemy to reach the
mouth of the tunnel and get at the
electric plant. The motive power could
| be instantly suppressed and the tun-
mel Immediately rendered useless by

"One can hardly exaggerate the

been in existence when hostilities
broke out. During the twenty hours

cat 500 tons per train that repre-
sents $4,000 to $4,000 tons a day each

Apart from the diminution in de-
lay. risks, losses, and difficulties of
every nature, the British fleet would
have been liberated from one of the
heaviest parts of it's task and free to
serve the cause of the allies in other

HAS TAKEN CLAIM
Topeka School Teacher Will
Farm in Western Kansas.
Laura Smiley Will Attend
School by Special Permit.

Sharon Springs, Kan, Aug. 2S.-
Miss Laura Smiley, a frail young
school teacher, left Topeka rec ntly
to make the first mark of evidence of
her future prosperity by becoming a
bachelor girl on a western Kansas
claim which so far has not been hon
ored with single building or tree.
Miss Smiley plans to begin imme-
diately the construction of a house to
establish a residence and then obtain
leave of absence from the government
ing school at the State Normal at EN-
poria
Miss Smiley taught school in Wal
lace county last year and while here
was impressed with the amount of
available government land still open
and the opportunity for claiming it.
She proceeded to file on quarter Sec
ton twenty miles northwest of Sharon
Springs. When she returned to To-
peka for a short visit poor health pre-
vented her from returning at once to
esta blish a residence.
Attend Emporia Normal.
Before leaving, Miss Smiley con-
suited with ]. E. Barrett, receiver of
the United States land office in To-
peka, and learned about the leave of
absence clause in the government
regulations. She had planned to spend
the year in school, but wanted to hold
on to her claim. She was at a loss
to know how to do it. She now be-
lieves that with residence established
the regulations are broad enough to
allow her to fulfill her double ambi-
ton of thoro education and farm
her really truly own"
MISS Smiley has spent most of the
summer at the home of her sister sew
erai miles northwest of Topeka.
