new JITNEY MOVE.
City Commissioners Asked To
Revise Ordinance in Effect.
Automobile Owners Want To
Run All Over City.

An old special privilege sore was
opened again at a meeting of the city
commissioners this morning when
Clarence Grimes, a representative of
the Topeka jitney drivers demanded
that auto buses and jitneys be per-
mitted the entire freedom of the city.
The commissioners asked Grimes to
put his request in writing and quickly
passed on to a more pleasant subject,
no doubt seeing Immediately in their
minds eye a vision of indignation
meetings and other unpleasant features
connected with a similar fight during
the administration of Mayer House.
Grimes wants two things for. the
jitney drivers. He wants that portion
of the ordinance repealed making it
impossible for jitney drivers to COM
pete with street cars on streets on
which the cars operate west of Jack
son street. He also demands in the
name of the jitneurs that owners of
big motor trucks and. other vehicles
who take picnickers and others OCT in
the evenings and on Sundays shah be
obliged to pay a city license equal to
that of the jitney drivers.
Isn't it a fact that at present the
jitney drivers are soliciting passengers
on the West side?" asked Mayor Cor
wine.
YES" replied Grimes. "but not to
any great extent"
Grimes told the commission at pres
ent there are eighteen jitney buses
and jitneys in the city. He assured the
commissioners he would put his re-
quest in writing at the earliest possible
moment.

GIVE HIM CHANCE
RefOrmatOry Mute VIII Be
Given an Education.
After Getting Parole, He viii
Be Sent to OIathe.

Orville Holley, deaf and dunn, now
in the Hutchinson State reformatory,
is to be given a chance by Governor
Allen and the state board of admins
tration. 1t is probable that an order
will be issued late today giving Holley
a harvest season parole from the re-
formatory. Next fall he will be sent
to the state school for the deaf at
Olathe that he may gain an education.
Action by state officials was indi-
Gated today following receipt of a let
ter from L. B. Morris, county attorney
of Geary county. Morris prosecuted
Holley on a charge of obtaining money
addressed to Judge G. w. Smith, eX-
ecutive clerk in the governors office.
Holley recently wrote to Judge
Smith asking that he be sent to the
state school, to secure an education.
The young man says he is Is years old
and was driven from home several
years ago by his father. His mother
has since died. Recently the young
man was convicted in the Geary
county district court and sent to the
state reformatory at Hutchinson.
In his letter to Judge Smith, County
Attorney Morris urges clemency for
Holley. He says he was impressed
with the candor and apparent honesty
and frankness Of the boy, as well as
his unfortunate condition. He said he
believed the young man should have a
chance to make good. .. .e
Under the plan proposed today by
E. L. Barrier of the state board of ad-
ministration, Holley may be given a
parole to enter the harvest fields
Money earned during the harvest sea-
son may be, used by Holley for the
purchase of clothing.

COMING TO C. OF C.
Phil Zimmerman VIII Tell of Radical
ism in Kansas.


After lying dormant in Topeka for
period of months the agitation
against the Nonpartisan league is to
be famed to new flame Friday noon
at the Chamber of Commerce. Phil
E. Zimmerman, of Lindsborg, Kan, is
to be the speaker of the day and ac-
cording to announcements which will
be sent out by the Chamber of Com
merce tomorrow his subject will be
the ''Nonpartisan League and Its 1.
W. W. Leadership
In the mind of Zimmerman, Boil
shevism, Nonpartisanism and I. W.
W.ism are synonymous He says that
each one of these organizations or
agencies stands for the same thing
the DISCRIMINATION of government
and the exploitation of the average
man. Zimmerman has devoted the
whole of his time during the last
three years to the conduct of a cam
paign against the menace of Boil
shevism in America and his most IA
miliar target is the Nonpartisan
league.
More than two years ago thinner
man predicted that ii Townley, the
head of the league, were ever brought
to trial on a charge Of disloyalty a
conviction would be had. 1t seems
that the prediction is true, for Town
ley was recently convicted of disloyal-
ty to the United States in the crimi-
nal courts of Minnesota.

TOday's Appropriations Expect
ed To Exhaust Federal Aid.
: Delegations From Eight COun-
e ties Are in Topeka.
ONE SHAWNEE co. PETITION
1t Is for Road Running From
Topeka to Dover.
Contests Up Before the State
Highway Commission.

Eight county delegations were here
today with applications for federal aid.
These counties have completed their
petitions and made surveys as required
by law Several contests as to selec-
ton OF road routes are before the COM
mission this afternoon. Perhaps the
most bitter fight came from Morris
s-ountys where two competitive routes
have been asked.
Shawnee County Requests.
Shawnee county asked federal aid
today for the Topeka Dover road
which is a link in the Southwest Trail.
Several other Shawnee county petit
lions have been approved by the state
commission.

funds available for this state, highway
commissioners believe that govern
ment aid may be extended Kansas
counties for the building of practi-
cally 500 miles of hard surface roads.
Money which will be apportioned this
afternoon will probably consume the
remaining federal apportionment to
Kansas. Counties which sought fed
eral aid at today's meeting included:
Shawnee, Nemaha, Wabaunsee, Ford,
Cherokee, jefferson, Morris, Franklin
and possibly Crawford
