the threatened strike of 10000 COM
mercial telegraphers the eve of
the Republican national convention at

would be taken until after conferences

LIEUT.. BIRKBY KILLED
Young Officer From California Was
at Front Only a Week.

London, May 30.-Many Americans
from California and the far west will
regret to hear of the death of Lieu
tenant Hal Birkby of the royal
Berkshire regiment -s.s
Shortly after the war broke out,
Birkby left his home in Los Angeles
to answer the call of his native coun-
try. After being kept in England
training for a whole year, the gallant
young officer at last succeeded in
getting his commission, and being
sent to the front. Just one week
after his arrival in France he was
killed.
Prior to his leaving the United
States, Birkby had served in the
United States Seventh cavalry and
taken part in the campaign in the
Philippine Islands. He was a crack
rifle shot and had been commended
by Field Marshal French for his skill
as trainer of snipers. Although
only at the front for few days the
colonel in command of the Berkshires
had written to his parents that he
was the most fearless and the most
recklessly daring" officer in the corps.

HIRE OUTSIDE FIRM
Local Company Will Not Audit
Edison-Railway Books.

There will be no local company en-
ployed to audit the books of the To-
peka Edison and the street railway
company for the city is the declaration
of Commissioner WATSON.
IT do not believe we should employ
any firm that might have the slightest
interest in the matter. What we want
is a firm that will give both the city
and the two companies a fair deal,
for all we wish to know is the exact
truth" said WATSON.
There is some talk of employing
Burns and Mcdonnell of Kansas City
to do tie work. Is there any truth in
the report?'
Il do not believe they should be
employed for they do a great deal of
work for the Mckinley corporation
but this is a matter that will be left
to the entire commission he said.
That several firms are after the job
was made known by WATSON when he
stated he was in receipt of several let
tiers from firms that wished to make
the audit for the city.
On account of the complex system
of accounting which both companies
employ it will require the services of a
firm that understands this line of ac-
commissioners will be careful, it is
stated. in making the selection of au-
ditors. in order that there may be no
errors made in the work.
1t is stated that the work of audit
ing the books will begin just as soon
as the firm which will make the
audit for the city is agreed upon. 1t is
possible that work will begin within
the next ten days
