If banner Order Remains i'm Ef-
feet Topeka Railway Will Act.
Reduce Number Of Cars One
Third After s in the Evening.

If the Danner order making Topeka
the deadest town in the world holds
good for a few more days-and Dan
ner seems to be sticking fast to his
theories-the Topeka Railway com
pany will take off one-third of the
cars after 8 O'Clock in the evening.
This was the threat made by Howard
Patten, superintendent of the city sys-
tenn, today.
After o'clock last night Kansas
avenue looked like a wild west
canyon" Patten said in explaining the
threat. Not a person could be seen
on the streets. All stores were closed
with the exception of pool hall here
and there. We cannot afford to main
tain our service over the city if the
cars do no more than awaken people
from their slumbers."
The street car company attempted
to reduce the early morning service
today but apparently Topeka hadn't
accustomed herself to banners Dead
ening and Dimming Damper and the
patrons came down town early Just
the same. So the cars were placed
back into service.
With the city darkened and dead
ened, despite the statement of the
Edison company that it will save little
fuel. Topeka is suffering while other
cities in the state are handling their
problems in a practical and business
like manner.

Danner Issues Warning to All
in the City Today.
Disregard of Request Will Mean
a Strict Order.
MANY CHURCHES KEEP Open
Complaints State Weekday
Meetings Are Being Held.
Administrator Knows Little of
What Churches Are Doing.

Churches, lodges and clubs will
come next under the fuel ban in To-
peka. c. H. Danner, local administra-
tor stated today that unless these
places are closed voluntarily, he will
issue an order. He said he has made
patriotic appeal to these organiza-
tions. In case of shops and mercan-
tile establishments Danner made a
sweeping order with little warning.
Protests from many sections of the
lcity against the numerous services and
dinners at churches, as well as scores
of lodge gatherings and open clubs
came today to Danner and to local
, newspaper offices. Altho Danner had
made night vigils in checking up the
use of an extra electric light on light
less nights, he said today that he knew
nothing of the church gatherings. Re-
ports today were to the effect that sew
| eral churches gave dinners Monday
| night meetings were in session in sew
eral other churches
| Il appealed to the churches to con-
serve their coal supply as d patriotic
service to the government" said Dan
ner. You can say for me that if the
| churches don't respond to this appeal
an order will be issued"
May Cut Off Deliveries.
Danner contemplates an order to loA
| cal dealers shutting off deliveries of
| coal to churches which do not meet
the fuel conservation request. A SINH
/ lar order affecting lodges and clubs is
also threatened.
"The churches, as we'll as the lodges
and clubs owe a duty in saving coal,
said Danner. MY order didn't cover
| them, but a special order will be is
sued unless they toe the mark.

was practically done in Wichita when
| thee administrator refused to permit
deliveries of coal to~them."
At a meeting of the ministerial un-
| ion, arrangements were made for spe-
cial union services as a fuel economy
measure. In spite of this action, tho,
reports were made today of special
| dinners and services this week in a
mum ber of the churches. Several of
the churches. Danner estimated
would require one to two tons of coal
to heat the buildings, in addition to a
heavy use of electric lights.
No Check on Fuel Users.
Careful checks were made on all
business houses using unnecessary
lights on 'lightless nights" No check
has been made in the fuel conserva-
| ton campaign and Danner today had
no record as to the churches and
lodges which were not observing the
orders.
| "All 1 know about the matter" said
| Danner, lis from statements which
have been made by people who have
called over the telephone to protest
against the heavy use of coal in
churches and lodges"
Conditions in Topeka are improv-
ing, Danner stated, and today's report
from coal dealers showed evidence OF
an increasing supply of fuel. Warmer
weather will aid in lifting the ban on
local mercantile establishments.
LAS soon as the supply of coal war
rants the order will be removed OF
modified" said Danner"

SEEK A CHANCE
Merchants Meet To Discuss To-
peka Closing Order.
banners Rules Unfair to Santa
Fe Employees.

In fairness to the employees of the
Santa Fe offices and of the Shops"
was the plea of the merchant princes
of Topeka at the Chamber of Com
merce this noon, lit seems that the
fuel conservation order of Dictator
Danner would stand some modifica-
ton
This was the keynote of meeting
of some of the more prominent mer
chants of the city. The purpose of the
with Danner with the end in view of
modifying the present closing order so
that the stores of Topeka might re-
main open on Saturday night till 8
o'clock.
In talking the reasons for necessity
for the proposed change one or two of
the merchants taking a prominent
part in the movement pointed out the
fact that only last night they found 1t
necessary to close the doors in the
very faces of shoppers just released
from their employment in the Santa
Fe offices
c. of c. Not Sponsor for Kickers.
The Chamber of Commerce is not
sponsoring the movement according
to a statement this noon by President
McEntire, but is merely acting in the
capacity of agent between Dictator
Danner and the merchants in an ef7
fort to arrange a conference.
The sentiment expressed this noon
was to the effect that inasmuch as the
merchants of the city are called upon
to do the biggest share of contribut-
ing for a various war work funds,
they should be allowed to stay open
at such times as the majority of the
employed shoppers are at liberty to
pdo their trading. AS it is now per-
sons employed in the Santa Fe offices
and shops are unable to leave their
work for the purpose of buying the
bare necessities of life. 1t is hoped
that the conference with Danner will
result in some modification of the
present ruling in regard to closing
hours.
