Says There Is an Inadequate
Water Supply.
COMPL IMENT TO CHIEF HANLON
Declares Department Is Eff
cient and Trained.
Apparatus Is of Modern Auto
mobile Type.

Alleging high fire hazards and fore
casting serious group fires in the bust
ness district on account of inadequate
water supply and faulty construction,
an article recently appearing in the
New York Journal of Commerce
makes severe criticism on conditions
in Topeka based on a report from the
engineers of the National Board of
Underwriters
In saying that the fire department
is a well trained and efficient force
under the direction of a progressive
chief. they pay Chief Hanlon and the
members of the force a very high
compliment.
Summary of Report.
A brief summary of the report of
the engineers follows:
"ConflagratiOn Hazard-There have been
only slight improvements structurally in
the principal mercantile district since the
previous report. Because of the many
supply and high winds, serious group fires
are probable thru the district. but there is
little danger of fire spreading across the
wide streets under normal conditions.
Water Supply-The question OF supply
is the most serious one confronting the
city At the time of inspection, with the
barely able to supply the maximum domes-
tic and fire draft, and at the lowest stages
OF the river the IOllI supply uuueH pESseuI
conditions, as evidenced by the trouble
during the past year. is entirely insuffl-
Gent except by drafting thru the emer-
gency connection direct from the river,
which would only be done in case OF a
serious emergency. Material improvements
being made will remedy this to large ex-
tent, but until continued dry weather is
experienced, there can be no decision
reached as to full adequacy.
Fire Department-The fire department
Is n well trained and efficient force under
the direction of n progressive chief 1t is
slightly undermined. Much of the APP
paratus is OF modern automobile type: tho
some of it is old, it Is in generally good
condition

BELOIT TAKES GAME
Roy Sanders Unable To Stop Northern
SIuggers in Time.

BeIoit. Sept. 13.-Roy Sanders, the
big National League pitcher from
Kansas City. was unable to stop the
Beloit 1eaguers in a baseball game
here Friday. Sanders was playing
with Bennington on the Bennington
grounds. The Beloit batters totalled a
series of nine hits against the big
Lacquer. The feature of the game was
the sensational fielding of the Ben
nington players which aided material
ly in stopping runs. The final score
of the game was. Beloit, 4; Benning-
ton, 1. Batteries were Willie and
Schoonover for Beloit; Sanders and
Brinley for Bennington.
