CITY COUNCIL TACKLING THREE QUESTIONS
THAT ARE OF BIG INTEREST TO CHICAGOANS

about electrifcation of all steam
roads entering Chicago and sell them
the precious power juice. Opposed
to this talk is that of citizens who be-

to make Chicago a more beautiful
city and the offer to electrify is
sample of real community patriotism
and Civicsuplift.

CITY NEWS BUREAU HEAD SAYS
STORY WAS WRONG-RELEASED
When w. B. Brown, head of the
City News Bureau, filed a paper yes
terday clearing Chief Justice Olson
of the municipal court of charges of
political connections made by loop
papers the libel case against Brown
was dismissed.
A reporter for Brown wrote a story
which implied that States Atty
Hoyne charged that Judge Olson had
been visited by big Republican poll
ticians during the trial of Hoyne's ap-
plication for a warrant for Chief of
Police Healey, who asked Olson not
to give the warrant.
The story was printed in several
loop papers before Hoyne had a
chance to deny it. Then Browns ar
rest followed.
On his admission that the charges
were untrue, he was released.

iona supreme court, accompanied by
his son, arrived in Kingman by auto
mobile from Prescott yesterday aft
ernoon. He will visit Oatman today,

didacy for reelection to the bench and

election of judges to the supreme
bench of the state is not obtruded into
the political scramble, the people
should consider the man who is best
qualified for the position, and as
re has surely made good the Miner
world be pleased to see him reelected
by an overwhelming majority.

LOUISE HOMER
(By Bertha Hcmpstead.)

The ardor of Topeka people who
dote on Louise Homer was not in the
least dampened Thursday night by the
downpour of rain that greeted her
second concert in two years at the
Grand theater. The largest crowd
that has attended any concert of the
Radcliffe series this year listened to
Madame Homer and her able accom-
pcnist, Mrs. Edwin Lapham.
Louise Homer sang some of the
loveliest music that has been written
for the contralto voice. Her aria
from Orfeo ct Euridice belongs to a
role that contributed most to her
fame. 1t is a noticeable fact that the
contralto voices are almost always
given the gloomy or the wicked parts
in an opera, but Madame Homer S
tempera ment is not apparently adapted
to a fole of crime or gloom. Her
voice is gifted with abundant life and
color, and there is warmth and fervor
in her songs; yet she is perfect in
poiSe. and she has a commanding dig
nifty of presence, in spite of her quick
sponteneity. that gives emphasis to
the richness and power of her tone.
The mere amplitude of her voice is a
plea sure to the listener. Her song is
founded upon perfect legato. Its
dominant impulse seems to be Sus-
tanned intensity CT tone. Her preci-
sion in phrasing and her trilliance of
named ir the sum of her artistic as
sets. That she did not display all her
talents in her program last evening
is an episode which reflects in no way
upon the deserved fame she has won.
Her group of German songs had a
peculiar charm, not only because of
the quality of the voice that sang
them. but also by reason of the dis
tinctive beauty of her enunciation of
the German tongue. Her first encore
was the song. Calm as the Night -
sung in German.
She sang an aria from Tschai-
kowsky's "Jeane D'Arc," a part of a
role on which a fair share of her
fame rests. The audience apparently
liked the singer best in her simpler
numbers, and Madame Homer puts a
good many of them into her programs.
In making her program she finds new
songs, and always some songs so old
that they have long ceased to be
known. Thus she gave q Send You
Roses" a lovely little lyric written by
her husband, Sidney Homer. that is
of recent composition, and in the same
group she sang two ancient Irish
songs. Her program for last night
was constructed on the same plan as
the one she gave in Topeka about
two years ago, though none of her
numbers was duplicated. Her last en-
core was her husbands song, Sing
Me to Sleep"
Mrs. Lapham played a group of
three short numbers. Both in her
solos and her accomplishments, she
displayed rare ability, finish and deli

]. H. Allen. formerly of Topeka. a

AVOIDALL MEAT
If KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER
BOTHER
Uric Acid in meat excites Kidneys
and frri1ateS the
Bladder.
Take Salts at first sign of Bladder
weakness or Kidney
Rackache.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to ir-
r1tate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an ir-
ritation at the neck of the bladder,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. TIE sufferer
is in constant dread, til water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again there is diff
ficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness. most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist ana
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will
neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source of irritation to
the bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless.
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice. combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Advertise

COURT HOUSE ROW ON
County Commissioners Declare Neu-
traIity Will Be Maintained.

Foundation for one OF the neatest
court house rows that has been wit
messed for many a day was laid on
the county commissioners desk this
morning in the form of a petition,
signed by several score of lawyers, to
move the offices of Douglas Graham,
clerk of the court of Topeka and
George Frost, marshal, from their
present location to the rooms now oc-
cupied by John F. Eby, superintendent
of schools. If the move is carried out
Eby's offices are to be moved into the
rooms now occupied by Graham.
superintendent Eby is not at all in
favor of the change. The county
commissioners took no action today on
the petition and Immediately an
nounced their attitude as STRICTLY neu-
trail. AS soon as possible Eby and
Graham will be summond before the
commissioners and the matter will be
threShed out either by arbitration or
possibly in ten two-minute round
bouts-marquis of windmill rules
just as the principals prefer.

Governor Capper Will Preside
Over the Convention.
Many Well Known Speakers
on the Program.

Kansas peace boosters will sit heav-
lily on preparedness plans at the frs.
annual meeting of the Kansas Peace
and Equity league. The meeting will
be held in Topeka Sunday afternoon,
January so, and will be made state
wide event. Many Kansas peace ad-
vocates Will speak at the meeting and
the session promises to be a bad day
for the Wilson national defense pro-
gram.
The Kansas Peace and Equity
lea que was organized in Topeka near
ly a year ago. 1t has for its purpose
the promotion of sentiment favoring
international peace and is in strict
opposition TO eXtrava CANT war prepa-
ration. Governor Capper' is president

take definite action regarding a ma
tiDnal defense program. Because of
the defense measures now before con-
gress and possibility of a preparedness
issue in the national campaign, action

matter of much concern. Officers

Report Today Water Plants in
1872 of 21O Kansas Towns.
Eighty-Eight of 1855 Have Mu-
nicipal Electric Lights.
TOPEKA'S VALUE AT $4,000
Kansas City Leads With Valua-
ton of Half Million.
"Kansas Firmly Adopts Policy"
Says Governor Capper.

Water plants in 1872 of 21O towns in
Kansas are municipality owned, while
IS of the 166 cities using electric
lights own their plants. according to
special report filed today with Cover
nor Capper by representatives of the
engineering department of Kansas uni
versity. The SO municipal light plants.
also 80 water plants, represent valu-
alton of more than four and a half
million dollars, the report shows.
Phenomenal growth in municipal
ownership of water and light plants is
shown in the report. More than one
half of the light plants in the state are
now owned by the municipalities, while
only Is of the 210 water systems in
the state are owned by private cor
porations. Figures on the aggregate
value of all municipality owned light
and water plants in Kansas were not
Obtainable by the state university.
In the SO towns where electric light
ing systems are owned by the city, the
bond issues included also the cost of
installing a water plant. In the main,
though, the bonds are for the con-
struction of municipal light plants. The
valuation totals $4,531,472.
Expenses of $4,000.
Returns from eleven cities of the
state snow an expense Tor HSnllnS
systems of more than $4,000. The
expense from several of these towns,
however, includes the expense for a
water plant, constructed in connection
with the lighting system. Topeka's
municipal light plant is listed in the
report at a valuation of $500
THE growth in municipal ownership
of light and water plants presents
some surprising facts said Governor
Capper. There is no doubt. judging
from the report, that Kansas has firm
ly adopted the policy of municipal
ownership of these utilities. 1t was to
gather reliable and up-to-date infor-
