$4,000 FOR ROADS
Civic Clubs Want To Make To-
peka Highway Center.
Hard Roads Would Be Big
Asset to Business Firms.

Topeka is to be asked to give a fund
of $4,000 to be expended in big good
roads campaign. The various civic or
ganization of the city came to this
decision at a meeting at the Chamber
of Commerce Monday evening. The
plan is to hard surface all the prin-
cipal highways in Shawnee county
with the end in view that Topeka be-
come the hub of a trade territory with
a radius of fifty miles.
In various talks made at the meet
ing by good roads enthusiasts it was
pointed out that Topeka. in good
weather, Low draws a good business
from the territory designated but it
was also pointed out that when rains
make-the roads heavy or slippery To-
peka loses this same trade. Talks
were made by H. s. Putney, chairman
of the Chamber of Commerce good
roads committee; by ]. Frank Smith,
general manager of the Kansas Good
Roads association; by DR.. Edmund
James Kulp; and by Nit White, of
Emporia.
The organizations represented at the
meeting Monday night were the
Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary
club, the - Cooperative club, the
Square Circle club, the nter-Service
club, the Topeka Automobile club, and
the. North Topeka Civic club. Other
organizat tons of like nature are in
vited to participate in the move and
are promised place on the committee
in charge of the campaign.

ADMITS HIS Guilt
Youth in Frisco Train Robbery
Caught in Topeka.
Arrested on Another Charge,
He Is Identified by Officers.

Roy Slack, alias Miller, who was ar
rested a few days ago at Ottawa by
federal authorities on the charge of
having dynamite in his possession, has
been identified in Topeka as the youth
who was implicated in a Frisco train
robbery near Olathe in 1918. He is
said to have slugged a guard while
being taken to the reformatory in jan
uary. 1919. and made his escape.
Slack is now only % years old.
1t was on October 2, 1908, that three
men held up e. G. Butcher, con-
ductor1 and William Smith, brakeman,
on a Frisco train near Olathe, and
robbed them of considerable money
The trio were captured and the two
older men sentenced to twenty-five
years in the penitentiary and are now
at Leavenworth serving their time.
Slack. on account of his youth. was
sentenced to the state reformatory,
but on the way there, slugged his
guard and made good his escape
A few days ago, Slack. H. L. Miller
and Percy King were arrested at OF
tawa by federal authorities on the
charge of having dynamite in their
possession. They plead not guilty and
demanded preliminary hearing be-
fore C. B. White. United States COM
missioner, which was set for the
morning of May l.
Admitted He Was Man.
Monday afternoon JOnn Parkndnl,
special agent for the Frisco, arrived
from Fort Scott and from photographs
and finger prints identified Slack as
the youth who had participated in the
Olathe train robbery: Slack at first
denied the charge, it was said. but
when confronted with the proof. ad-
mitted that he was the man. There
was only small resemblance between
the youth and the photographs which
were taken in 1918, but the finger
prints were identical.
When approached in the county jail
this morning Slack refused to talk
about himself. beyond stating that all
his relatives had been killed in the
SAM Francisco earthquake in 1908. He
will probably be turned over to the
state for trial, it was said by authori-
ties. Miller and King will be given a
hearing before Commissioner White
Thursday morning.
Authorities are of the opinion that
Slack is as bad a man and will take
more desperate chances than Frank

Owners-Borah Defends BurIeson.
Washington, April 29.-As a result
of the announcement yesterday by
Postmaster General Burleson that he
had recommended to President Wilson
that telegraph and telephone systems
be restored to private ownership and
that control of the American cable
lines be relinquished, members of con-
gress were today informally discuss
ing legislation which will be necessary
before the land systems can be turned
back to their former owners.
No legislation will be required in
the case of the cable lines it was stat
ed, as the affairs of the companies are
in such shape that they can take care
of themselves. If Mr.. Burleson's rec
concentration is carried out it is prob
able those lines will be relinquished
not later than May 10.
AS the telegraph and telephone lines
must be returned in the same physical
condition in which they were when
taken over officials pointed out it will
be necessary for congress to enact
laws providing financial protection as
to surrender them now without proVi-
sion for additional revenue, would
mean the wrecking of the industry
Early action by congress is looked for
as speedy return to private ownership
