Under Certain Conditions
on July 1, 1920.

Tax liens GSGgregating nearly $4,000
600 were acquired by the city yesterday
ct a public sale authorized by Comp
troller Charles l.. Craig because OF al
legged deficiencies on the part OF franchise
holders to pay accrued taxes due the
city, In some cases dating back a far as
1900. The city acquires the liens at the
amounts due for interest, plus Z per
cent, and under certain conditions may
foreclose July /. 1920. In any other
event, II the sale stands the test of the
courts. the city will be free to dispose of
the liens at IL per cent interest.
The liens were held against special
franchises and real estate of corpora
tons, and the sale was conducted over
the protest of attorneys representing the
Third Avenue Railway System. holding
some of the franchises involved, and 9th
ers representing Job E. Hedges, receiver
of the New York Railways Company,
holding another group.
George Roberts and p. w. Crane OF
Winthrop & Stimson, representing Re-
ceiver Hedges, protested against the sale
on various grounds. Mr.. Crane sub
mitted a long statement in which he set
forth that the liens included in the New
York Railways group were being offered
in violation of the order Of the United
States District Court creating -the re-
ownership that the amounts OF the liens
as set forth by the Comptroller were in
correct and excessive, and that the city
had means for recovery through appeal
to the United States Court.
1t was also argued that many of the
claims set forth by the city had been
satisfied; that advertisements of the, sale
had not been properly made and that
requests for adjournment from time to
Tune had not been granted in accordance
with law Mr.. Crane also declared that
instead OF the railway companies in the
New York Railways group being in
debted to the city in the amount set
forth the city actually held in refunds
to various subsidiary companies some
1919 ,6SS.57. and that the ciV owes in
terest on this sum, making a total OF
approximately $350.000.
Attorney Scoville entered similar ar
gument to the effect that the funds
claimed by the city against the fran
chlses was not actually due.
The largest lien sold was against the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company, q
subsidiary of the New York Railways
Company. for special franchise taxes
during the year 1910. which originally
amounted to $lS2,239, and which with
interest amount to t4S5,08S.

TO STAY CLOSED
Topeka Schools Cannot Reopen
Next Week, Board Decides.
Laundries Hope to Avert Shut
down With Wood and Oil.

Topeka schools, both grade and
high, will remain closed next week as
a result of the coal shortage. it was
announced today by the board of edu-
on hand now than when they closed a
week ago and there seems to be little
hope of relief next week.
Hope that the wood supply will save
their plants from closing was enter
tanned today by local laundrymen. AL
ready some of the laundries are burn
ing wood and coal combined in an
effort to exc out their small supply
of fuel.
Total suspension of the laundries
would almost mean that hotels. res
taurants, barber shops and similar In
stitutions would also be forced to quit.
Suffering would be caused in hospitals
If worst comes to worst, the laundry
men propose to assemble their work in
one plant
The Topeka laundry is now burning
wood and will probably install oil
burners in the near future. The To-
peka and Mutual are the only laun-
dries in town which can do this. as
they alone have track service.
Even tho the supply of wood IS
sufficient, the laundrymen foresee
that it's price will be exorbitant Tests
show that wood is only SO per cent
as efficient as coal. and costs from SO
to 100 per cent more, they declare.
Laundries in which the average fuel
cost has been running from $40 to
SIS a day claim they must pay from
$50 to SIS day for wood. Fuel oil
is also ABOUT 20 per cent higher in
cost than coal and is destructive to
the boilers, it was declared.
The laundrymen declare they are
now operating at a loss, and owing to
limited capacity forced by scarcity of
fuel and shorter working hours are
unable to deliver their normal service
and quality of work.
The prospect that Topeka may get
share of the $4,000 tons of semi
anthracite slack now being loaded in
Arkansas also served to cheer up local
industries.

If Entente Insist on Pact Pro-
tocol Huns to ReOrganize.
Feeling Runs High Over Clause
Relating to ScaIpa Flow.

Berlin, Dec. differentiation Ct
the German cabinet if the entente in
sists upon enforcement of the terms of
the protocol was considered probable
here today.
Herman Mueller, minister of foreign
affairs, may resign if the section of
the protocol requiring Germany to
surrender certain docks and shipping
in return for the sinking of the Scapa
Flow fleet is enforced. it was said.
Whether a reorganized cabinet will
accept the protocol was not known.
Germany bitterly denies her govern
ment was responsible for Admiral Won
Reuters action in scuttling his ships
and looks upon the allied demand fer
surrender of docks and merchart t
shipping as robbery
Frances failure to release German
war prisoners also has aroused the
greatest indignation
Referring to the communique of the
British admiralty to the effect letters
had been found on the salyaged Ger
man cruiser Emden of the Scapa Flow
fleet showing Won Reuter- was in touch
with his government at the time he
issued orders for the sinking, 1t was

was based upon the theory the ships
were interned and had not been de-
liyered to the allies

ernor With Roosevelt and LiI:-
coin.

New York, Dec. 6.-The New York
Sun, editorially. said Friday:
THE Sun takes off its hat to the
man who acts
Roosevelt acted and the world
had the Panama canal.
Dewey acted, and the United
States had the Philippines.
Lincoln acted, and America had
emancipation.
THE forefathers acted, and we had
the Declaration of Independence. the
Revolution and the American nation.
Justified. tho they were, the origi-
nal coal injunction proceedings did
not get the coal for the country SIN
cere or insincere, the negotiations be-
tween operator and miner. or cabinet
officer AMI miner, or fuel administra
tor and miner, did not get the coal for
the country. Imperative tho they may
be, the new court proceedings against
the officers of the United Mine Work
ers may not get the coal for the coun-
try Legal proceedings against both
the operators and the miners might
not get the coal for the country.
But out in Kansas. where there was
a complete tieup by the strikers. a
man acted. and the people of his state
got the coal.
Letting no grass grow under his
feet while all the conferences and
committees were meeting and adjourn
ing. wasting no words while all the
talk was going on. Governor Allen got
the mines thru receiverships. Cover
nor Allen got volunteers to mine coal.
Governor Allen got them to the mines
with motor trucks when strikers inter-
fered with passenger trains Cover
nor Allen. whatever happened and un-
der whatever circumstances. got the
coal out Nobody doubts that he will
go on getting it out. Nobody doubts
that this man who acts will get the
coal delivered to the people of Kansas.
And, thanks to the example of
Governor Allen. who acted on the spot.
other governors may get coal for their
states in the same way
THE Sun takes off it's hat to the

were being made today at national
steel headquarters here it was reported
to secure the release of the majority

by state police at Donora, a steel town
near Pittsburgh, when the district
headquarters of steel strikers was
raided.
Bail was fixed yesterday at $500
each by the Justice of the peace before

ported, were able to furnish that
amount of money.
William z. Foster, secretary of the
National strike committee, arrived
here today from New York and I'M
mediately set about preparing for the
defense of the strikers who were ar
rested, it was said.
The raid yesterday followed the
bomb explosion at the home of an en-
ploye of the American steel and wire
company. 1t was the elimination of
a campaign by authorities to rid the
community of men who they say have
been suspected of perpetrating bomb
outrages in Donora since the strike
was called in September.

can be added to the price of coal to
finance any increases in the wages of
