BIGGERS BOUND OVER
Man Who Killed Game Warden
Valves Preliminary.

1t took only a few minutes to dis
pose of the preliminary hearing of
Claude Biggers, the young negro who
shot and killed John Cox, deputy
game warden, southwest of town last
week. After being brought back to
Topeka from the Douglas county Jail
Monday night, he waived his prelimi-
nary and was bound over to the dis
trict court without bond
There were two witnesses to the
shooting, both negroes-Oscar Hask-
ins and Lester Watts. They were
hunting with Biggers when he was ar
rested by Cox for hunting without
license and when he fired the shot at
Cox. Both of them have made affi-
davits and the latter are in the hands
of the county attorney. But for fear
they might not be within reaching
distance when the case comes to trial,
they were placed under bonds of $500
each by Judge Hugh Fisher. They
furnished approved bonds within a
few minutes and were released.
Althou Biggers made a confession
before the county attorney and others
to the effect that he fired the shot
that killed Cox, he pleaded not guilty
to the charge of first degree murder.
There are various degrees of murder
and manslaughter and Biggers is ex-
pected to put up some plea in an ef-
fort to avoid the finding of first de-
gree verdict

DIVORCED ON Q. T.
Wife of DR.. ChaS. b. Lyon
Granted Emergency Decree.
Case Was Handled Very Quietly
in Judge Dana's Court.

Mrs. Viola Lyon, wife of DR..
Charles B. Lyon, well-known Topeka
dentist, was granted a divorce Satur-
day afternoon by Judge A. w. Dana
under an emergency.
The law requires, except in cases of
emergency, that sixty days shall, eX-
pire between the filing of a divorce
petition and the trial of the case. This
was not done in the Lyon case. The
petition was filed quietly and the
hearing was conducted just as quietly.
Requests were made of county Off
cials that nothing be said about it,
Son in Kansas City.
Doctor and Mrs. Lyon have lived in
Topeka for many years and were mar
ried October 25. 1892. They have a
grown son whose home and business
is in Kansas City. The emergency
was declared because of this son. 1t
was stated that it would mean great
inconvenience to him to have to leave
his business and return to Topeka at
another date.
The petition in the Lyon case tells
nothing. 1t is very brief. 1t simply
charges gross neglect.

LAWLESS FACES LAW /
Topekan Alleged to Have Deserted
Family, Arrested at Salina.

More than a year ago William Law
less, a well-to-do retired farmer, walk
ed away from the home of himself,
his wife and his little daughter, and
failed to return. After a long wait his
wife Swore to a complaint charging
him with wife and child desertion. A
warrant. was issued but not served
Today Lawless was arrested at Salina
on the strength of a letter written
by Hugh Larimer, undersheriff. l.
L. Kiene, sheriff, will go to Salina and
bring him back.
Mrs. Lawless, who now uses her own
initials-Mrs. A. L. Lawless. lives at
521 West Eighth street The family
lived in Jefferson county on a farm
before Lawless retired and moved to
Topeka. Officers who have been
looking for him for year have been
unable to find any excuse for his
abrupt departure. Wife and child de-
sertion is a real offense under the
Kansas laws and the years wait has
not tended to weaken county officers
in their determination to prosecute
him.

of Water Will Pay
Less After January 1.
DECIDEDLY INTERESTING MOVE
In View of the General High
Cost of Living.
Reduction to Small Consumers
Reaches IA Per Cent.

Water will cost less, notwithstand-
ing the advances in the high cost of
living, otherwise.
F. NJ. Newland, city commissioner
in charge of the waterworks. makes
the announcement today that the con-
dition of the system and the revenues
from the department warrant a re-
duction in rates January 1 without in
any way impairing the service.
This condition is brought about
partly thru Mr.. Newland'S study and
service in this department during the
last four years. This will be the Sec
ond reduction that has taken place
during Mr.. Newland's terms of office.
The first reduction was made in 1913
and made an average reduction in the
rates of about 10 rer cent.
Since that time, the number of con-
sumers has increased so that the de-
partment has availab'e larger reVe-
nues and at the same time has been
able to spend sufficient funds to keep
the service up to standard efficiency
and set aside more than the required
amount in the sinking fund. This lat
ter fact is what really makes the re-
duction at this time possible.
Under the law, the sinking fund to
cover outstanding bonds should now
amount to s143,633.31, whereas, the
accumulations in that fund are now
$174,279.40, leaving balance of $32,-
5T4.63, or sufficient to provide for the
sinking fund requirement for two one
one half years from date.
At the same time, there is now in
the operating fund SAP, 2,42S.16. This.
the commissioner considers an ample
emergency amount for all anticipated
requirements.
The department now accordingly
finds itself in position to make a re-
duction in water rates of about IA per
cent to the smaller consumer and
ranging downward to per cent to the
large consumer.
At these reduced rates, the income
from the water company will take care
of all its anticipated expenditures and
requirements.
The present rates to the small con-
sumer are 35 cents per 1000 cubic
feet, with a minimum of 40 cents per
month.
The new rate to these same consum-
ers will be 80 cents per 1000 cubic
feet, with a minimum of 80 cents per
month.
Consumers using more than 1000
cubic feet per month now pay 80
cents; the new rate will be % cents
on the second 1000 cubic feet con-
sumed. The rates for the third 1000
cubic feet remain the same as they
are now, 26 cents. The other rates
| for additional consumption remain the
same.
