TRAINS ARE COMING In
Railroad Schedule Almost Recovered
From Blizzard DISCRIMINATION.

After being disorganized for several
days, Kansas railroad train schedules
are reported on the road to recovery
by officials here today. All lines have
been cleared. it is said, and with the
exception of late trains on some lines,
traffic is again becoming normal.
Freight service is also being resumed
Trains delayed from two to three
days arrived in terminals Saturday
night, Sunday and early this morning.
In many cases the snowbound travel
ers on western Kansas lines were
forced to go into the baggage cars to
obtain food. At Russell the Red Cross
came to the rescue of stalled Union
Pacific train and fed the travellers in
the basement of the Russell State
bank.

will be very well received. He has
long been regarded. and is spoken of,
as the balance wheel of the commits
sions on which he has served. He is
universally regarded as being an en-
tirely sane and conservative leader in
civic affairs. Tandy is held to be
man who does not easily lose his head
and one whom it is decidedly hard to
induce to make g decision he might
afterwards regret.
In 1907 w. G. Tandy was appointed
by William Green, to fill the unexpired
term of Samuel T. Howe, councillor
from the fifth ward, who left at that
time to take q place on the state tax
commission. He was elected commits
sioner of streets and public improve
ments the first time in 1910. Most of
the citizens of Topeka know the rest
of the story. In all he was elected
five times. The first time, serving one
year, but there followed four other
terms of two years each. He was
elected each time he ran. For nine
years he has served as commissioner
of streets and public improvements.
Tandy has spent for the city the
sum of 2,1s5. 100 in permanent inn
prOVementS and in the operating ex-
penses of his department
Street Work Well Done,
THE people that drive over these
streets and compare them with what
they were a few years ago." said Com
missioner Tandy, realize what has
been done toward that end without
being reminded of it. The work has
all been done too with a less budget
than has been allowed in many former
years"
Tandy has carried the work of his
department thru the war time period
in the face of rising costs and increas-
ing expenses without any increase in
his budget
In 1910 the city let no contracts for
improvements. The paving that was
left over from the old council form of
government; and the streets that were
torn up and left in an unfinished con-
dition furnished work for all of 1910
in getting it cleaned up
A table of Tandy's expenditures ap-
pended below shows how the vast
sum of money was expanded. for the
betterment of the city and in up-keep
expenses, including permanent inn
proVements, pavement, bridges, sew

Washington, Feb. 17.-'The league

Stephen Panaretoff, Bulgarian minis

tuition with the United Press today.
THE Balkans have been the pawns

cause of the great war and the source
