HARRISON Will
FIGHT COMBINE
PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN RAIL
ROAD PURPOSES TO BATTLE
FOR FAIR TREATMENT FOR
SOUTHERN PORTS.

Brunswick. Ga. April 1.-(SpeciaD-
Following his brave refusal to accept
government financial aid for his rail-
road, Fairfax Harrison, president of
the Southern Railway Company, has
taken an unequivoca1 stand for the
upbuilding of the south and the de-
velopment of southern ports in a tele-
gram to r. L. Philips of Brunswick,
president of the South Atlantic Ports
Association, pledging the utmost sup
port from the Southern railway for the
maintenance of the new export rates
from the middle west to southern ports
on parity with New York, when the
rates are attacked by the eastern rail-
roads, as it is anticipated they will be.
President Harrison's telegram, in an
swer to an inquiry from the South
Atlantic Ports Association as to the
attitude of the Southery railway fol-
lows:
I'm reply to your message am glad
to reaffirm statement recently made
to Mobile Chamber of Commerce that
when the export rate question is heard
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, you will find us there with every
ounce of energy we have to resist the
selfish proposal of the trunk lines
that they shall be protected in a con-
tinuing monopoly of export traffic as
against South Atlantic and gulf ports
This pledge from the Southern rail-
way, with the assurance of united sup
port of the other lines in the south,
gives confidence of success in the fight
that the South Atlantic Ports Assoc
iation, the Midwest Gulf South Allan
tic Foreign Trade and Transportation
Committee, and the South Atlantic
States Foreign Trade Association or
ganized recently at Greens boro, North
Carolina, will make to defeat the eff
forts that eastern trunk lines threaten
to make to secure cancellation of the
new export rates from the Middle West
to South Atlantic Gulf ports for the
purpose of again placing the Middle
West, and, in fact, the greater part
of the United States, in a state of
bandage to New York and other East
ern and Canadian ports, by the re-
erection of the artificial freight rate
wall along the Ohio river, which for
nearly half a century has forced the
exports and imports, and much of the
domestic traffic, through the meek
of the Bottle to the detriment of the
country, the disuse of Southern ports,
and the ruin of Americas merchant
marine and foreign trade.

DRAIN RELAYED
PIPE LINE IN SIX INCH REIN
FORCED CONCRETE CRADLE
EIGHT EN- FEET UNDE r
GROUND.

The relaying of the Coyle-st storm
sewer has been started and one block
Of the pipe line has been layed north
Of Belmont. When completed the main
viii be 1ayed for 500 feet, taking place
of the old main which was layed dur
ing the aldermanic government and
as giving trouble al various times
before the new pipe line was decided
upon.
The new pipe line will be IS inches
in diameter and will be bottomed at
IS feet under the ground. 1t is being
run between Belmont and Jackson SITS.
The pipe is being layed in six inch
iron and will be practically unbreak-
able. The main drains practically all
OF West Hill.
The old pipe line which has been re-
moved is crumbled and crushed, no
piece of 1t being more than one foot
square. Complaints have been sent in
on CoyIe below Belmont and this sec
ton will be repaired and concrete
placed around the joints, reinforcing
them and preventing the leakage that
is the cause of complaints.
The pipe line is bottomed ON sand
and the sand giving way has been
the cause Of the pipe line breaking.
according to the version of the city Of
ficials. For this reason the concrete
foundation has been placed at the bot
tom Of the new line and will give a
solid, unbending foundation for the
pipe line to rest upon. The work is
being done by Contractor Gerkins.

OF CHURCH
GIVEN BY REV. MILLER

The City on a HILL" was the SUP
ject Of brilliant discourse by Father
Miller at St. MichaePs church last
evening. Father Miller said that the
Church of Christ has been compared
to a city on a hill because it stands
out in such prominence that all may
see and know it for what it is. The
previous lectures, he said, have es-
tablished that Christ is God and the
Divine Teacher of mankind; that he
came upon the earth and personally
delivered His teachings to the men
and women of His own country and
day. The doctrines that He personally
delivered to them He would have
taught to the end of time. That this
might be accomplished He founded
His church, promised that the gates
OF Hell should never prevail against
it: that He would remain with it till
the end of the world and that the
Holy Spirit would abide with it for
ever. 1t follows then that His church
must be in the world today identicaI1y
the same church to which He made
these promises for the promises of
God cannot fail.
The man seeking the true Church
VI NAAAAc viii llldt It's
go back to the days Of the Master
Himself and that it be able to show
on the pages of impartial history that
it is truly Apostolic. that it is really
the historical church. But oldest is
only a term of comparison. The in
quirer will demand more than this.
He will demand that it go back to
Christ and His Apostles. The cnurcn
then points TO the list of it's Popes
and says there you will find that
turning back page by page beginning
with the present Chief Bishop Bene-
dict XIV, the list goes back to the
Apostle Peter himself to Who Christ
said: Thou are Peter and upon this
rock / will build my church and the
gates of Hell shall not prevail against
it," Thus again is its divinity proved
by the test of time.
Not only does history show that 1t
is nineteen hundred gears old but also
that the belief of the Catholic church
has been the same throughout the
centuries.
The solo last evening was by Frank
Ormsbee. who sang with much feeling
and expression The Holy City
The subject OF the sermon this even
ing viii be The Miracle of the Upper
Room" and will be delivered by Rev.
Father Allard.

Philadelphia. March 3i-Now that
the railroads have been turned over to
private ownership, employees of the
train dispatchers' office of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, 32nd and Powell
avenue, see no need for "cussing" If
anyone in the office says a bad word
he must drop a cent in the box.

Fashion Letter
Written for
THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL
BY MARGARET RoHE

In Zululand
It's simply grand
to have familee
For children there
just nothing wear
It's cheap as it can be
But in New York
Adjure the stork-
To dress one child, fear
Would wreck the home exchequer quite
little dear's too dear.
New York, May 22.-With offspring
clinging to my hand 1 started out to-
day to get her all ACQUIRED for the
coming summer day. Her little heart
was full of joy for every woman knows
they thrill at even seven years when
they are buying clothes.
We hied US to the barber first for
hair must be Lobbed so, or else the
fetching new straw hat won't look just
right, you know. Just fifty cents and
ten cents tip that hair cut cost. A
quarter Or fifteen cents when I was
young would cut my hair much
shorter.
We looked at hats then looked as
kance for eighteen fifty per was what
a simple leghorn cost. 1 made a sad
demur. A broad brimmed Milan sailor
hat, twas plain but very nifty, the
sales girl said a bargain was at only
sixteen fifty. We finally chose beige
hued one quite chic for maids of seven.
Because IT wasn't quite so fine a straw
Then to the frocks we quickly hied
and darlings we espied that each turn
ed out a little Gear. Their prices hor-
rified. One tiny frock of taffeta hand
worked in colored silk looked for a
little princess fit but no one of that
ilk could e'er afford its CHASTITY price
of dollars forty-five. I'm sure some
laundress lady's child will wear it out
to drive.
Some frilly frocks of organdie at
twenty-five were cheap-at least that's
what the salesgirl said We didn't even
peep. The cheapest bingham frocks
were eight, the better ones were ten,
of closer weave and "chicer'' cut we
didn't get one then but chose a
simple chambry one of color yellow
bright. 1t only cost paltry nine-but
still it looked alright
A silken coat at fifty-four we hur-
ried gasping by. A small child's pride
must keep her warm when prices are
so high.
A pair of patent leather pumps five
dollars set us back and tan play shoes
at seven more hit our poor purse a
, whack.
Some English socks were ninety
cents a measly little pair. No wonder
| fathers live to curse the day they had
an heir
We finished off with cotton gloves,
not very chic tits true. They cost
dollar and a half while kid cost more
than two.
With offspring clinging to my hand
I started home today My child has
hat, dress, gloves and shoes but ere
| the first I'll say we'll have to sell the
family booze the awful bills to pay or
else perhaps Wen have to make a
hasty getaway.

WARE new BATHING SUIT
London Styles Promise Beaches
This Summer Will Be just One
Gasp After Another.

London, May 22.-Life on England S
sandy shores this summer promises
to be just one gasp after another.
Bathing costumes unbelievable are
beginning to glare upon a startled
public from the Exclusive" store
windows. A recent exhibition of
women's wear included a collection of
weird and wonderful creations for the
modern mermaid.
Futurists are catered to by costumes
slashed helter-skelter with streaks of
crazy color rioting regardless of blend
or design.
One costume is of bright jade green,
with a green-eyed black snake coiling
round the bather's form. Another is
designed to resemble some sort of sea-
beetle, being close fitting from top to
toe and covered with sapphire-b blue
and deep-green sequins-
Yet another aspires to make its
wearer look like Joan of Arc-or
maybe a really, truly mermaid-for
it's silver sequins are a cross between
suit of armor and a herring's skin.
1t is expected that when the sum-
mer sylph makes her dive into the
blue and briney, her bedazzled swain
will catch his breath she will catch
his fancy and the matrimonial net
will catch them both.
Anyway, this summer is bound to
place innumerable bachelors out of
the way of taxation.

MADE MONEY OFF MOTHER
Boy Who Answered Phone at So
Much a Call, Had Real Friend.

Answering the telephone for mother
on saturday when mother had a head
ache and didn't want to be disturbed,
proved most profitable for a Topeka
west side sonny age eight.
Mother had offered "sonny'' ten
cents for each telephone call he an
swered and for each time he answered
the door bell while she tried to get rid
of her headache. Sonny wanted to
go out to play most desperately but he
agreed to spend the afternoon in the
house.
Mother, the grocer wants to know
II you want anything" called sonny
pretty soon after mother had retired
thus scoring the first dime.
"No-you have the wrong NUMBER"
mother heard sonny" say just after
the telephone rang again and sonny
scored the second dime. Twice more
that afternoon the telephone rang and
altho mother thought four telephone
calls were more than she had expect
ed, she settled with sonny for forty
cents.
"Senny's" pal next door, a boy just
his own age, treated his mother, father
and baby sister to ice cream cones
late that afternoon. He was asked
just where he got the money for the
royal treat
He squirmed a little but finally
made this confession:
Il got it cause I called up Bobby
four times. His mother said she'd
give him 10 cents every time he an
swered the phone for her while she
was gettin' well of her headache. He
gave me half of all the money his
mother paid him. 1 played the

REPEAT ON BREAD CARDS.
Vienna Dead Not Reported So Living
Can Get More Food.

Vienna, May 22-While the re-
Gently completed city census showed
Vienna to have a population of ap-
proximately 1900. 600. it has been dis
covered that over 100000 bread
tickets are in circulation. The loss
on this excess ration is estimated at
1000 carloads of flour a year.
The explanation is that families fail
to report deaths or departures of
members to obtain the additional ra-
ton for themselves or sell the tickets
to the 1eft-hand trade. The matter
has been placed in the hands of the
police for investigation and remedy.
