Considerable criticism of the charges
was made by members of the boa I'd
after they had viewed the cemetery.
They declared that the burying-Eround
was in good condition. and that the
men were keeping the weeds cut

Superintendent Of Cemeteries Humph-

member Of the board last night. "in

down and the cemetery given n general
cleanup Many of the plots have no
one to care for them. and the workmen
simply must take them in rotation. It
seems that when we detailed the two
new men to the cemetery that the i'm
preston was created that 1t would be
an opportune time to have extensive
work done In the grounds. and this
probably led to the complaint"

Although the weather for the month
of August has seemed to many to be
abnornally oppressive and unusually
changea5le, a survey Of the monthly
meteorological summary issued, at
Richmond by tho Weather Bureau of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture would indicate that, on the
whole. Richmond has enjoyed very ia
vorablo weather conditions.

enough some days have been warm.

spcrsed with an occasional thunder
storm to break the monotony of con-
tinued clear weather However, August
has always been noted for its slow
ard monotonous weather
In examining the monthly report. IT
is seen that there is a continual shift
from clear weather to partly cloudy
weather to cloudy weather. For three
or four days in the month the sun
shone bright. Then for the next three
or four days the clouds would appear,
promising drenching showers. which

However. holding true to the old
maxim. that where there is smoke
there is usually fire, the next two or
three days would usher forth a true
old-fashion shower Following the
principle OF evolution. the next few
days would show clear and bright
weather. Evidently August weather
is an ardent exponent of the spirit of
rotation.
August weather shows fourteen
clear days, six partly cloudy days,
and nine cloudy days. The normal

1T is 'HARVEYS BLUFF
Place on WaEarusa Was Named by
Late John Switzer.

The coy little place on the Waka-
rusa owned by Major a. NJ. Harvey
and used by him as a summer retreat
both for his family and his friends is
no longer to be known as Major Har
veys place, or the Harvey farm or any
of the other names those who have en-
joyed the majors hospitality have
chosen to call it. But, in the future,
the place will have the official name
of HarVey'S Bluff.
This name was given the place by
the late John Switzer, when the major
first bought the place and the bluff
part was the result of the majors an
nouncenent that he intended to build
an up-to-date summer place on the
ground. There is a bluff there& all
right but now one of the neatest, most
convenient and most attractive sum-
mer places around Topeka graces the
side of the bluff. Major Harvey today
had the new name of his place record
ed by the county clerk and having
paid a perfectly good dollar for the re-
cording will expect his friends to use
the proper name when referring to his
place in the future.

PARDON SAVES HIM
Porter Patterson Escapes a Persistent
LIQUOR Violation Sentence.

A pardon granted to Porter Patter-
son by Governor Capper made it i'm
possible for the county attorneys Of
flee to get a conviction on felony
charge against Patterson, according to
Robert D. Carver, county attorney. A
pardon, as Carver, describes it, wipes
out all past records of the offense and
technically gave the well known Por-
ter Patterson a clean bill of health
when he appeared before a jury in
Judge Whitcomb's division of the dis
trict court.
Patterson was one of the first men
sent from Shawnee county to state
prison on a persistent liquor violation
charge. His friends evidently got
busy and obtained a pardon for him.
Carver hoped to again send Patterson
to state prison on a persistent liquor
violation charge, he stated today.
But in order to get such a convic-
ton, past, as well as subsequent vio
lations must be proven. The pardon,
according to Carver, wiped out the
past violation and the state was able
to win nothing but a misdemeanor
conviction against Patterson at this
term of the criminal court.

sary for Railroads.

Mexico City, Oct. 16.-An agree
ment has been reached between
Ignacio Bonillas, the Mexican ambas-
sador at Washington, and the United
States treasury department according
to reports received here by which
Mexico will take off the restrictions
on the export of metals which requir-
ed the re-importation of an equal
amount of gold for all gold bullion ex-
ported and rs per cent on all silver
exported. In return money due on
the balance of trade to Mexico will
be paid in gold. Under the agree
ment Mexico will receive SS,001,OOO
gold this month, $5,000,000 in No
vember and 100000 each month
thereafter under a distinct under
standing that Mexico must not snip
the gold to other countries.
Mines and smelters which d1scon-
tinued operating ten days ago have
resumed activities now that an agree
ment has been reached.
1t is also said that Mexico Will
have no difficulty obtaining iron and

The matter of food imports into
Mexico from the United States is still
principal as Herbert c. Hoover, the
American food controller has not yet
taken any action.

3 THEATRICAL REVIEWS. -
THE NOVELTY.

After showing little favor toward
the three preceding acts, Mondays
Novelty audiences sat up" and
''whooped their delight" as Hugo Lut-
grens, the Swedish Billy Sunday,
warmed up to his sermon" on why
Men Leave Home" Lutgren's act was
entertaining and full of comedy and
for laughter only. His application of
the various gymnastics as sometimes
exhibited by the famous evangelist to
the dialect of young Swedish preach
er offering his first sermon in Eng
lish was a variation from the usual
vaudeville offerings and his hearers
were quick to approve of it. A series
of announcements preceding the
sermon served to get the audience in
good humor for the sermon" and
after preaching he sang "Yump on
the Waterwagon" and before he got
thru the audience was singing it with
him, as he directed H E. c.

DEMANDS CHARGES
La Toilette Tells Senate Committee
Hearing Must be Formal.

Washington, Oct 16.-Senator La
Toilette today appeared before the
senate subcommittee investigating
his loyalty and peremptorily demand
ed that he be furnished with the full
charges against him; the names of
unfriendly witnesses and documents
in support of the accusations. After
delivering this message in the form of
letter he handed Chairman Pome-
rene, La Toilette babe the committee
good morning" and left. The COM
m1ttee went into executive session.
La Follette's letter declared he still
believed in the accuracy of all state
ments he made in the st. Paul speech
which resulted in demands for ex-
pulsion from the senate. He declared
that when the committee has evidence
or their fnaccuracy, he would bring
documents to substantiate his charges.
But he said until the committee
confronts him with a specific inGict-
ment he does not deem it proper to
make any further statement.

one hundredth anniversary of the
death of Kosciusko, the Polish patriot,

10000 CATTLE BURNED

Continued from rage OneI
today destroyed more than one-half
of the Kansas City stock yards. By
clock the fire had been completely
extinguished after the fire depart
ments of both Kansas City, Mo, and
Kansas City. Kan, had been fighting
it with approximately 100 pieces of
fire apparatus nd dynamite.
Here and there in the vast burned
area the lives of a few animals were
saved when falling pens had broken
off water pipes and allowed NINA
ture fountain to spray over a limited
space.
Insurance Companies Take Cattle.
Cowboys that had accompanied
their stock to the yards, together with
stock yards employees, were rounding
up the strayed cattle. 1t was said that
all these would be sold at auction by
the insurance companies which would
settle with the owners as if the cattle
had been killed in the fire. This was
done, it was explained, after the fire of
three years ago.
No Embargo at X. G.
No embargo has been placed upon
the movement of stock to the Kansas
City yards, officials said, and today
hogs, sheep and cattle for slaughter
at the packing houses were being sold
The officials of the yards have asked
the railroad companies to accept no
large shipments. but believe that they
will be able to handle all live stock
received during the week
Only small per cent Of the unload
ing docks were burned in the fire and
a part of the cattle pens, which were
not damaged, are being used for the
nerds which were not mixed in the
general liberation which followed the
fire. These animals are also being
SOLD. The cattle for the packers are
oelng unloaded in the quarantine
yards, which were not affected by the
flames
