IMMIGRANTS ARE RECEIVING
 BENEFIT

DENVER, Nov. IA. - Out of the host of immigrants that yearly reach the shores of the United States the government through it's bureau of edu- cation is endeavoring to make patri- otic citizens by means of educational courses in all parts of the country. Tn more than 765 cities and towns have such courses for adult aliens hoa, established under the superyi- sion of the government according to Paul L. Ellerbe, chief examiner Of the Denver branch of the United States immigration bureau.
 These classes. instituted in the pub lie schools and universities are gam ..ns rapidly in number according to

comparative figures. The greatest ob- stacle to aliens attaining the requisite knowledge for citizenship the state ment says, has been the lack of author itative and accessible sources of in formation to which applicants could be referred.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14.-While it is far cry to the next Pacific coast league baseball season, the rival man agers already have begun to drop hints as to what they intend doing to their organizations, and according to these early intentions, it seems more than probable the baseball enthusiasts of the coast will see many new faces in the lineup of the clubs next spring.
 Oakland of course, is believed to be destined for the biggest shakeup ow- ing to the poor showing made by that organization during the last season. Manager Del Howard, who assumed the reins in mid-season when the Oaks were hopelessly out of the race, like ly is to reconstruct his entire baseball machine with the possible exception of few of the men who showed up favorabIy.
 Wolverton. the San Francisco man. ager, already has begun trying to build up a competent pitching staff of which he was sadly in need during the 1916 race He also is in search of a good first baseman and catcher and states that deals are pending for men to fill these places, but he with holds their identity. To fill the va cancy made by Ping Bodie, who goes to the Philadelphia American team, Wolverton says he has in view a bro ther of Fritz Naisel, a former Detroit player who finished the season with the International league
 Salt Lake loses two of it's best pitch CTS in Piercy and Fittery, who go to the majors, which at once places this department in the negligible class Second and third bases are more like ly to find new men defending them next year.
 Manager NcCredie. of Portland, has made no secret of the fact that he is not entirely satisfied with the per sonnel of his team, and is known to have been on the lookout for new ma. terial, although he has not said much about what he has done
 Los Angeles and Vernon, which fin ished first and second respectively in the league, are less likely than any of the other clubs to undergo material changes.

The first steps for the establish ment of a breeding bureau in Cali fornia for building up the horse in dustry was recently taken by the Golden Gate Thoroughbred Breeders Association.
 It is proposed to purchase thorough bred stallious and quarter them in the various counties of the state with a view to giving impetus to the breed ing of high class horses again. Until a comparatively few years ago Cali fornia annually sold a quarter of a million dollars worth of yearling thoroughbreds. With the advent of legislation which resulted in the clos ing of the various California tracks for running races the industry has dwindled to less than $35,O00,
 A committee composed of William F. Humphrey, Walter Martin and C. T. Boots was appointed to draft by laws for permanent organization. When the report is made, Secretary James C. Nealon will call another meeting.
 One of the purposes of the organi- zation will be to formulate some de- finite ideas in connection with state racing commission bill to be intro duced into the next legislature which will seek for legislation under which it will be possible to carry on race meets without financial loss.

While the polo season, as far as the Pacific coast is concerned, will not be under way for another month, members of the Midwick Country Club in Southern California already are out on their mounts and limbering up. The Midwicks are rated among the best of the polo clubs on the coast and have a national reputation and they anticipate an active season.
 According to report, Henry Weiss, captain of one of the Midwick teams, and a veteran polo player, is showing all his old time form with added ac- euracy in his shots. He is the owner of some of the fastest and cleyerest ponies on the coast.

FOR CITY GAS PLANTS
Bill Prepared Enabling Kansas Towns
to Act.


r. E. Mcbride, citizen of Topeka,
has come back. He hasn't discontinued
his endeavors to establish munich
pal artificial gas plant in Topeka by
any means, he announced upon his ar
rival at his old naunts in the city hall.
As proof of faith and effort for his
hobby, Mcbride displayed a draft of a
bill that he plans to have introduced
in the legislature, enabling Topeka and
all cities in Kansas of the first, second
and third classes to build municipal
gas plants. Enabling acts have al
ready been passed permitting Kansas
cities to establish municipal light,
water and gas plants, but because the
word artificial is not before the word
gas In the statute a new bill must be
passed. Mcbride says he drew up this
bill upon the advice of the city attor-
ney and officials in the attorney gen.
erals office.
Another portion of the bill enables
the mayor to purchase or condemn
lands to be used in erecting an arti-
f1clal gas plant Mcbride claims that
he can obtain coal rights near Burl-
lngame so cheap that gas can be
brought to Topeka and sold at a re-
markably low price. 1t is to acquire
this land that Mcbride has made pro-
vision for the mayors acquiring land
outside of the city the same as was
done when the water rights were OBJ
tained outside of the city of Topeka

WORKING AT SHOPS
Good Winter Season With Santa Fc
in Topeka.

A really severe cold spell cuts down
the number of workmen at the Santa
Fe shops materially. according to NJ.
J. Drury, superintendent of the shops
More men lay off in the winter than
in the summer, on account of SICK
ness.
The shop authorities prefer to have
the men lay off in the winter when
they are only slightly i'll, rather than
in the summer. During the cold
weather, it is easier for disease to de-
velop into something serious, and the
foremen would rather let their men
take a few days off than several
weeks.
Work at the shops has been favored
during the greater part of the fall, by
excellent weather and even with the
extra work brought to Topeka by the
burning of the shops at San Bernard
ino, Cal, everything has been run
ming smoothly
Several members of Battery A re-
turned to their old places Tuesday,
after coming back from the border
just in time to get in on the Christmas
vacation and the bonus money.

TO TOPEKA NOW
HOlton and Horton Does City Shopping
Here

A shipment of card tickets for short
runs reached the Rock Island station
this morning. Among the shipment
We're more than $4,000 worth of tick
cts for Holton. The travel between
Topeka and Holton and Topeka and
Horton has become, in the past few
years, very important item of rail-
road revenue
few years ago Holton and Horton
shoppers went for the most part to st.
Joseph for the things they could not
buy in their home towns. Now thev
come to Topeka The change. is the
result or the fact that the rates be-
tween the two towns and Topeka are
lower than between st. Joseph and the
same points. because St. Joseph is in
another state. A bridge toll of %
cents is collected on the way to St.
Joseph, hiking the rate some IS cents
above the Topeka rate.
wherefore, when Horton and Hol-
ton go shopping, Topeka gets their
money, and the big shipments of tick
cts Is the result The shipment re-
eelned TINS morning also included
SS,o4O worth of pasteboard for rides

FOOD DICTATOR FAILS
German Official Distributor Finds Sys-
tenn Has Many Faults.

Berlin. Dec. 30.-Adolf T. Won
Batocki, president of the food regula-
ton board, assigns as reason for the
failure of the system of maximum
prices without appropriation of sup
plies, the fact that producers either
consume supplies themselves or sell
to consumers in the vicinity, making
it impossible for the remoter consum-
ers in the cities to obtain sufficient
supplies.
Herr Batock urges the cities to CO.
operate with the imperial authorities
so as to avoid competition by the mu-
inequalities in the contra citing for sup
plies. He says that even where a grad
uated scale of maximum prices has
been fixed to compensate for differ
ences in location, the system has failed
to secure equal distribution. This is
due to the fact that the consumers
find ways of buying whatever surplus
the producers have.

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 3O.@The ques-

receive fee of $100,045 for authoriz-
ing consolidation of the Pittsburgh
Cincinnati, Chicago & st. Louis railway
systems, came up today when five rail-
roads which will be units in the sys-
tenn filed with Secretary of State Ste
venson their consolidation agreement.
The capitalization of the merger is
500, 100000.
The secretary of state contends this
is a new corporation and should paw
the fee levied by law on corporations
The railroads contend it is merely a
recapitalization and protest the fee
