ARCHES MUST GO
City Commissioners Decide
They Are Public Menace.
VIII Be Torn Down After Negro
Soldier Parade.

The tattered and torn victory arches
which 'adorn the corner of Eighth
and Kansas avenue and the north end
of the Melan bridge constitute a men
ace to the public safety. More than
that they constitute a public eyesore.
And they must be torn down forth
with.
The city commissioners in session
this morning came to such conclusions
and City Clerk CoveH was instructed
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
which was responsible for the erection
of the arches demanding immediate
removal.
The two arches were erected early in
May of this year to for the nucleus
for the decoration of Topeka streets
on the occasion of the homecoming
OF Shawnee county and Kansas sol
diers. First TO march the triumph
trail under the victory arches were
peka, and the first national guard
unit of Kansas TO be ordered 10 active
service.
Others Thru in Triumph.
Following the 10th engineers the
137th and 139th infantry regiments
were accorded their triumphal march.
Battery A and the 130th field artil-
lery followed the beaten path of VIC
tory as did the 10th field signal bat
talon and the 10th ammunition
train. All these units were of the
famous Thirty-fifth division, one of
those combat units which made the
first thrust into the "impregnable"
Argonne wood.
And after the fighters Of the 35th
division had been accorded their
palms of victory on the triumph
march the whole S9th division was
given the same honor thru the proxy
Of the 355rd Ali-Kansas infantry.
All that remains now for the COM
pletion of the mission Of the arches is
the march of the negro troopers of
the 92nd division July %.
VIII Tear Them Down.
And then the tearing down of the
arches and the full return of the
streets of Topeka to their accustomed
peace time aspect will be made. At
first the arches were but an incident
to a scene of martial splendor. Flags
and bunting and gladstone greeting
signs made Kansas avenue a street of
martial color. But as time passed
and wind and rain had its way the
arches became discolored, tattered and
torn. The flags and the bunting on
the buildings were taken down and put
away for some future occasion. All
that is left of the decorative effect of
the welcome for the fighting men of
Kansas were the war worn arches
which spanned the street and the
bridge.
And now too they are to go. 1t is
the dictum of the city commission.

council at a regular meeting held in

the fact that "bastile'' is seldom

COLUMBUS, MISS.

Columbus, Miss. August 4.-(spe- cfal)-The latest development in the local tangle which followed the action of the local municipal council in agree ing to purchase a motor truck from the American la France Fire Engine company comes in the shape of a proposition to allow the qualified eiec- tors, of the city to decide at the polls whether or not the deal shall be con- summated. Claiming that the council exceeded its authority in agreeing to make the purchase without first sub~ hitting the matter to the people, A. J. Lussey, a local plumber, secured an injunction restraining members of that body from completing the transaction. Service of this injunction has, how ever. been held up pending an effort to effect an amicable adjudication of the tangle, and it is understood that the council has practically decided to allow the voters of the city to deter mine as to whether or not the deal shall be consummated
 The First State bank in this city has introduced an innovation known as the unit system, and the names of the ladies and gentlemen in charge of the various departments now appear on at- tractively framed placards over their desks.

 AUTO DELEGATION

Henry NJ. Dozier, president Of the Birmingham Automobile club, will head the special delegation from that club which will leave here tomorrow for Dade county, Georgia, where repre- sentatiyes of several southern auto mobile clubs will meet to help pass the S4o,000 good roads bond issue in that county. If the issue is author ized the money is to be spent building a good road over that county, which now is the one bad link in the shorter road from Birmingham to Chattanooga and which often causes automobiles to use the longer route by way of GAds- den and Rome, Ga. By building good roads through Dade county, it is said, the route from here to Chattanooga by way of Ft. Payne and Trenton, Ga, will be shortened by 65 miles.
 The Birmingham party is expected to be composed Of 12 men, among whom are MT. Dozier, T. W. Morgan, Governor Emmett O'Neal, Gere Gwin, Clarence Lloyd and others
 The party will be joined al Gadsden by party from the automobile club there, headed by Adolph Reich, a party at Ft Payne headed by Sam Killiam and at Trenton, Ga, by party headed by J. W. Hale. They all then will pro ceed to Chattanooga. where they will be the guests of the Chattanooga Auto mobile club at a banquet tomorrow night. at which plans will be discussed. The Chattanooga club will add it's dele gation to the party, which will be in Dade county all day Friday, making speeches and encouraging the author ization of the bond issue.

DAVISON'S VIEW OF
 TRADE CONDITIONS
By HOLLAND

New York, August 5.-(Special ).-When Henry P. Davidson was asked a day or two ago if he was able to tell what the quotation in the securities market for the common stock of the United States Steel corporation was, he is reported to have replied that he could do no more than give guess. Then he was asked to make guess, and after moments hesi- tation quoted 103 This answer caused some amusement, and even more astonish- ment, for it was some 10 points out of the way.
 That partner in the house of J. P. Morgan & Co.,, especially a partner who has the reputation of being all-seeing, and capable of penetrating the future with mental vision and with extraordinary accuracy, should not have known what the market quotation upon a given day for steel was, seemed to be almost incred- ible. The incident is reported by the Bos- ton News Bureau, not upon hearsay, but upon first-hand knowledge.
 MT. Davidson's wild guess, however,

 The limit of the present Jurisdiction for civil cases is fixed at $100 and an increase to $500 limitation of juris- diction is asked.
 It was stated that Birmingham has grown so greatly in population that it is necessary that the Jurisdiction of the municipal courts be increased in order to take care of the great number of civil cases coming before it for the mutual advantage of it's citizens.
