ROOT STILL FIGHTS
He Appears Before City Commission
ers to Oppose Street Resurfacing.

Plans and specifications for paving
to be laid in Topeka were presented
at a meeting of the city commissioners
this morning. After a correction in
ing specifications. the plans will again
be submitted, and an advertisement
for contract bids made.
Hiram Root again appeared before
the commission to urge his protest
against the resurfacing of Topeka
avenue from Fourteenth street to
Euclid avenue. He read from supreme
court decisions handed down in Illi-
nois, Pennsylvania and other states
which denied the right of city gov
ernments to lay new pavement where
the older pavement is not worn out,
and in cases where the tax levy was
unreasonable and oppressive" He
again placed before the commission
the objection that the proposed plan
to lay the resurfacing on Topeka
avenue was not in accordance with
the statutes. Mayor House inter-
rupted the reading of the Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois law decisions to say:
Mr. Root, if you don't like the action
of the commission, you can take the
matter to court"
Root, with a murmured apology to
His Honor" proceeded with the read
ing of the law. When he had finished
the mayor spoke again: This COM
mission does not sit as court; it is
not prepared, nor is it its business, to
pass upon the legal phase of the ques-
ton. That is a matter for the court to
decide. 1 think 1 express the senti-
ment of the entire commission when
say that we are not expecting at all to
gig back on our decision. If you
want to fight the case. fight it in
court" Mr.. Root retired with the
parting shot that the tax levy for the
pavement was less a tax than a rob-
berry

Laundries Cannot Handle Sol

Hearing Held Before Welfare
Commission This Afternoon.

The nine-hour rule as proposed

unjust at this time" declared c. H.
Matthews, of the Mutual Laundry
company, at the Chamber of Com
merce this noon in commenting on
the rate hearing before the state well
fare commission at the state house
this after noon. THE nine-hour law
does not take into consideration any
emergencies at all in the laundry
business, nor does it leave anything
to the discretion of the girls affected"
Matthews declared that the gov
eminent has just recently called on
the laundries to prepare to launder
all of the summer uniforms of the
soldiers in addition to the regular
laundry work. I'VE will be practi-
caly unable to do this with any

which were taken as a means of
earning money with which to pay
shortages in the bank.
Behrbaum claims the girl, his
former finance, was to handle the
lands while he served time; that
proceeds were to be used in pay

against him, and that she has prove
ed him false by wedding another
and refusing to turn the leases OF
