STOLEN GOODS ARE FOUND.
Two Negroes Arrested in Connection
With Willow Park Robbery.

Louis Plnkston and Harvey McDon-
aid, negroes, were arrested Monday
evening when Robert Trevor. negro,
admitted after two hours of gruelling
that they assisted him in robbing the
Willow Park garage of $3.50 worth
of goods a few days ago. Officers
went with the trio to various hiding
places, where practically all the goods
were recovered All three are now in
the county jail.
Trevor was arrested Saturday by
Detectives George Frost and L. W.
Jackson, who took his finger prints
and discovered by communicating
with the Leavenworth prison authori-
ties that he spent three years in the
Jeffersonville, Ind.D reformatory for
grand larceny and was sent to the
India4 IA state prison for a two to
fourteen year term for grand larceny
County officers intimated today that
If Trevor comes thru with information
concerning other robberies in which
he is believed to have been implicated
he will be permitted to plead guilty to
grand larceny or allowed to go back
to Indiana to serve out his unex-
pired term. Otherwise he will be
prosecuted on charges of burglary in
the night time also, it was said.

THEY COST more
Christmas Turkeys Advance in
Price Here.
Birds Are Better Quality Than
Last Year, Is Claim.

Two theories have been advanced
today as to why the Christmas turkey
is costing more than the Thanksgiving
bird or the Christmas turkey of 1919.
One theory, advanced by w. c. Hind
man, of the Hindman grocery, is that
the birds are of much better quality
than they were at Thanksgiving, when
many of them had not been fattened
and finished" to the point of perfec-
ton which they have reached at the
present time.
There are still a good many poor
turkeys on the market, Hindman said,
about fifty-fifty between the finished
birds and those which are not yet en-
tirely filled out"
Supply Is Short
So much so good. The other theory
is that the supply is not quite ade-
quate, and there the reports are con-
Trajectory and not complete. Demand,
according to Hindman, is much below
what it was last year, and there is a
sufficient supply of the birds to meet
it. The people are buying ducks and
geese and chickens instead of turkey
this year, in line with the policy of re-
framing from buying high priced ar
ticles which has swept the buying pub
lie for the past several weeks, in every
line<
Normal Demand in State.
The Seymour Packing company re
ports the demand normal from the
outlying portions of the state, from
which the bulk of their turkeys are
purchased, and quite up to the supply
standard set last year. The Seymour
company does a wholesale business
and states that the turkeys which they
have been buying in the western and
southwestern portions. of the state have
been as numerous .as they ever Were
The demand does not exceed that OF
last year.
1t was stated in another retail mar
ket in Topeka that there is shortag GO
| in the supply and that the prices
| which are already some cents g
pound above those of Thanksgiving
are apt to go higher before the week
| is out.
| Sell at IS Cents Per Pound.
The average price for turkeys toda!
| is 40 cents live and IS cents dressed
! This is cents above the Thanksgiving
price and 5 cents above the pric'
which marked the top of the Thanks
giving market.
| 1t is the general impression among
wholesalers that the supply of turkey
frozen and placed in cold storage TO
the Christmas market, is smaller nov
| than it was expected to be, and tina
! this is one reason for the increase il
price A government report issued OF
1.-THE subject, however, makes no mel
ton of any shortage in stored turkeys

The demand is curtailed by tn

PAY Cash FARES
TOpekans Do Not Take Advan-
tage of Reduced Rates.
Average Street Car Fare Is IA
Cents, Says Engh.

Topekans are not taking advantage
of the reduced street railway rates,
altho the number of cash fares has
declined per cent under the present
rate. That is the text of statement
TODAY by G. A. Engh, chief accountant
for the court of industrial relations.
Engh stated today that on the ba-
sis of figures which he had compiled
the revenues of the local street car
company would be increased $4,000
under the new rates. He previously
estimated an Increased return of s64,-
900 a year to the company under the
rates. The present average fare of
Topeka street car patrons lis Z Il cents.
l-ngh states. He says 2S.13 per cent
of the passengers pay the Scent fare
while 1863 per cent pay the u cent
fare, while 39.47 per cent pay the Il -
cent-rate. only II per cent pay the
p cent fare.
Statement by Engh.
In his statement today Engh said.
THE fact that l missed my guess. as to
the percentage of travel on the different
rates, has not however disturbed to any
material extent the final conclusions that
] reached. In my calculation l figured
that the increased revenues from the new
rates, provided there was no decline in the
amount of travel. would amount to APP
proximately SG4 900 annually. On the basis
OF the actual riding the revenues of the rail-
way company have increased just about
S6DOO9 annually.
Il have not had time to examine the
books of the Railway company with respect
to Its income under the new schedule of
fires. but ] will do SO at later date.
Il estimated that If the density of travel
on the Topeka railway continued as in the
past. per cent of the passengers would
use the cent fare % per cent the ~ cent
fare. per cent the Ga cent fare and 81
per cent the Ga cent fare. The actual rid
ing for the period August II, 1920-the
date that the new fares were put into effect
to September 30, 1920, inclusive, shows
that 2s.13 per cent of the passengers used
the s cent fare, 3169 per cent the ~ cent
fare, II per cent the G2a cent fare and 80. Al
per cent the GA cent fare. There has been
Il falling off in travel on the railway of
about ! per cent since the new fares were
put into effect. and the average fare now
is just about IA cents. 1t would seem
from these figues that TOpekans are not
taking advantage of the lower fares"

WILSON HEARING ON AGAIN
Final Stages of Custer Suit Against
Bank Commissioner.

lAf1A SldreS Oh ouSltE SuIt <ASeAASs
Bank Commissioner.
Hearing of the custer suit against
Walter E. Wilson, state bank commits
'sioner, entered final stages today
when cross examination of the state
commissioner was resumed. After
delay of two weeks the case was re-
opened this morning by James M.
Challis of Atchison, commissioner ap-
pointed by the supreme court. Wilson
was called to the stand for completion
of cross examination by the attorney
general and his assistants.
Questions concerning actions of the
bank commissioner prior to the clos
ing of the Kansas State bank at Sa-
lima occupied the greater portion of
the morning and early afternoon ex-
animation. Letters and other exhib
its offered earlier in the hearing were
az ain taken up and Wilson was ques-
toned as to his knowledge of the
banks condition and acts of bank Of
ficials.
1t is probable that the taking of tes-
timony will be concluded Wednesday.
Unless rebuttal is offered by the attor-
ney general, the case may be closed
after few witnesses are called by the
defense to corroborate portions of Will
sons tstimony. The commissioner will
then prepare his report and recon-
mendations to the supreme court \
