DISCHARGE 3 COPS
City Officials Start Shakeup in
Police Force.
More Men May Be Let Out, the
Mayor Announces.
FOR GOOD OF THE SERVICE
That Is the Reason Given by
New Chief, j. E. Wilson.
Plans All Made to Test Lights
of Automobiles.

With the discharge of three patrol
men, rumors current of still greater
shake-up in the police department, to-
gether with the placing of a clamp on
the force in an endeavor to enforce
traffic ordinances and other ordi-
nances, Mayor House walked on any
thing but bed of roses at the city hall
today. Policemen with long faces had
been loafing around various offices
for an hour before the mayors arrival
In a short time they were closeted be-
hind closed doors in the mayors Of
flee. A few minutes later the mayor
emerged from his office.
Il have just thrown out three cops"
he said, land am ready to start on
some one else. There's just this about
it, they must either do what they are
told to or quit their jobs"
Further than that the mayor would
not discuss the situation in the police
department. Not all the patrolmen
present at the conference were men
discharged and it is currently rumored
rules and regulations supposed to have
been established in the department.
Hold Long Conference.
J. E. Wilson, chief of police; R. M.
Yates police judge; George P. Hay
den and Mayor House spent nearly an
hour in the city attorneys office in
close conference.
IHlS Injecting is dDSOluCely private,
said Mayor House.
Just before going into the meeting,
the chief of police announced the dis
charge of three patrolmen and the ap-
pointment of two new men on the
force. The three men discharged are ::
Jacob Mize, Jesse Hill and George
Ward. The two new men are both

Fe shop man. and George Williams,
an employe of the American Express
company.
They were discharged for the good
of the service" said Chief Wilson
Preparations for enforcing the traf-
f1c ordinance were made in front of
the city hall today. Two large black
boards were placed on the side of the
street and large lines drawn from side
walk to sidewalk. Automobile own
ers will be obliged to stop their cars
on the line and throw their lights on
the blackboardS- In this way it can
be determined whether lights are
properly regulated, or not. A city en-
ploye will be on the job from to II
o'clock every night this week to test
the lights of all automobile owners
After that they will be subject to ar
rest and fine if the lights are not prop
erly regulated on their cars. 81 II

being placed in their heads by worry
over the famous Topeka jitney ordin-
ance.
After he had placed the jitneur on
a firm foundation in Topeka, it will be
remembered that Wells sold his inter-
est in the company to Roy Crawford
and left the city. Only close follow
ers of the screen know where he has
been since that time, but here are the
facts.
Became Movie Director.
From here Wells went to California.
The jitney preceded him there by
about ten jumps and that field did not
look remunerative. He dritted into
the moving picture game and it wasn't
long until he won considerable notice
as director. For more than year
he was one of the directors with David
Wark Griffith and helped in the max
ing of Intolerance"
Following his successful flyer for
fame with Griffith, Wells accepted a
position as a director with the Uni
versal City, the producing end of the
Universal Film company, a world
known corporation that grinds out film
by the miles. Among some of his no.
able feats in the theatrical world
since leaving here was the production
ana direction of Julius Caesar on a
gigantic stage at Hollywood, Califor-
mia, last year. Wells gathered around
other stars equally as prominent and
gave the affair,as benefit for the Ac-
tors fund. 1t was given one night
only and it drew gross receipts of
something like $21, 900 with 10000
people clamoring on the outside to
get in.
Will Return to Topeka.
Wells is back in Topeka today. A
reporter asked him how he really came
out with Julius Caesar" Wells
grinned, and produced several pounds
of clippings that showed that the Chi
cago Tribune had found three of its
first pages necessary to comment on
the achievement. simultaneously the
Universal director announced that he
will spend the summer resting" In
other words he will direct a stock COM
pany which is scheduled to open at
the Novelty in Topeka May 81. Wells
today completed arrangements with
Manager Crawford and left this after
noon for Chicago to round up his COM
pany.

North Side News

At the meeting Of the Parent-Teach-
erS' association of Grant and quincy
schools, the members expressed them
selves as favoring a closer co-opera-
ton of the association with the Civic
club. The aims of the two organiza-
tioI.s it was pointed out, are in many
respects identical, and by better team
work, community Improvements can
be more efficiently promoted.
Prof. Clay Morrow, of Grant ana
Quincy, spoke strongly in favor of the
move and Fred Noiland reviewed the
many improvements brought about by
the club in the past. Nearly every
thing that has been done in recent
years on the North side to build up the
town has originated with the Civic
club.
1t is felt that a more energetic and
assertive attitude is needed among
those working for civic welfare 1t is
planned to appoint several joint COM
mittees to look into the work. Many
of the sidewalks in North Topeka have
sunk below the level of the parkings,
and Commissioner Tandy may be
asked to raise the sidewalks on sew
eral streets.
]. c. Snediker, president of the
Parent-Teachers' association. presided
at the meeting. Two weeks from
Monday the Civic club and the asso-
citation will meet in joint session.
An ENJOYABLE feature of the meeting
was the community singing led by w.
NJ. Van Ness. Little booklets We're dis
tributed at cents each, containing
we'll known songs.
Conflicting reports come from the
market gardeners about the damage
done by Monday nights frost In
some places nearly all the early vege-
tables were killed. In general, now
ever, the gardeners think that COM
paratively slight harm was done. The
haans and early tomatoes suffered
most One farmer reports that his
beans, tomatoes, watermelon and can
taloupe plants weer all killed
Gardeners are looking forward with
apprehension to the weather condition
tonight If it is clear they anticipate
losing heavily. The ground being wet,
covering young plants does not protect
them as it would in a dry season. The
potato plants are still so small that
the raisers do not think that frost
will set them back materially. The
fruit growers have not yet ascertained
but the farmers generally do not con-
slider the frost as serious as expected

here to inaugurate the idea that later
made the street car "barons" declare
that the pesky motor busses were ruin
