IA FLU CASES TODAY
Disease Not Operating So Vigorously.
However, as i'm Past.

The influenza stepped out a trifle
above its minimum average of the last
few weeks today with total of four
teen new cases reported up to
O'Clock this afternoon.
Altho there are a number OF cases
of the disease in the city at present,
the disease does not seem to operate
so vigorously in its attack as it did
several weeks previously. Deaths oc-
curing from the disease and the re-
sulting pneumonia complications with
which the. attack is usually followed,
have been very low in number prac-
ticalIy since the release of the second
set of closing restrictions.
The total number of new cases of
influenza reported to the office of the
city health department indicated TWEEN
ty-one cases for Sunday and Monday.
This averages with the totals for each
day since the second closing order
was released, as the average has been
slightly. below ten cars per day. The
death of Mrs. Cora B. Swords, of 1175
Clay street, was reported Monday as
due to influenza

SUPPRESS SINN FEM
Intention Is Attributed to British
Government in Ireland

London, Jan. 14.-The intention to
forcibly suppress the Sim Fein or
ganization is attributed to the British
government in certain quarters in Ire
land, according to a Dublin dispatch
to the Mail. Moderates there, the cor
respondent says, are specializing anx-
iously as to what developments may be
expected from a meeting of the coun-
Gil which the governor-general called
Monday night at Dublin castle. The
correspondent adds:
Sober minded, responsible men take
a very gloomy view or the situation
1t is feared that the government is
about to embark on a new campaign
of repression which may include the
forcible suppression of the Sim Fein
with such results as are to be expected
when the government takes up armed
conflict with rs per cent of the pop
ulation."
The writer traces this fear to the
Tory successes in the recent elections
in England. which he says are regard
ed as having given the "coercionists'
a predominating influence in the state
and have created the belief that Ulster
will be supreme in determining British
treatment of Irish affairs. Viscount
French, governor general, is also
credited it'll the intention to exercise
his authority in accordance with mil
itary rather than political considera-
tiOnS.

the proceedings of the Republican ma

A negro candidate for the place was

EXPECT PUMPS SOON
May Be Delay, However, in Arrival OF
Water Plant Repairs.

The two new pumps for the city
water department may arrive soon in
Topeka This morning, according to
Superintendent Jesse Shaw, a carload
of pipe for the suction line, and pump
arrived from Birmingham,
Alabama. Shaw says that ordinarily
shipments from the plant a Birming-
ham should reach here in seven days
However, in this case. the carload of
pipe from Alabama consumed about
twenty-five days in its trip to Topeka
Another shipment of pump parts for
the plant arrived several days ago. The
water department has been unable to
gain any definite information as to
when the pumps proper may be ex-
pected. They are evidently far from
being completed and judging from the
time consumed now in most freight
makes it seem probable that
the pumps may not be finally installed
for some little time

fineries and ice plants and repair
shops in competition with private in
dustry. Now some of the old stand
bys are removed. The government has
taken the railroads and the telephone
and telegraph and express companies
under its wing. The state is dry, bone

actually prove that a Kansas law
