NE WANTS HODGES
JOuett ShOuse Not After Second
Place Nomination.
Declares Wilson Cannot Get
Third Term Chance.

Kansas City. June 21.-President
Wilson's nomination for third term
was declared to be an impossibility,
because of the condition of the presi-
dents health, in an interview given
out here by Jouett Shouse, third as
sistant secretary of the United States
treasury.
NO real friend of the president re-
CARDS his nomination as a possibility"
said Mr. Shouse. who is on his way
to the Democratic national conven-
tion in San Francisco.
II he had now the strength and
vigor that he had in 1916, his nominal
tion for a third term might be con-
sidered a probability. But his friends
know he is not in good health.
There was not slightest collusion
between the statement of President
Wilson Friday morning and the with
drawal OF McAdoo Friday afternoon.
1T would not be possible for Presi-
dent Wilson to conduct a campaign"
Mr.. Shouse added that he considered
Carter Glass, former secretary of the
treasury and now United States sena-
tor from Virginia, and John w. Davis,
ambassador to England as strong
presidential possibilities either OF
whom might very likely receive the
nomination. Mr.. Shouse said that he
himself is not a candidate for the
vice presidency. and that If former
Governor Hodges of Kansas is a can
didate for the nomination for vice
president he (Mr. Shouse) would
support him to the limit"
IF Hodges is not a candidate" he
added. 7 will support another Kansas

Federal Census for 1920 Shows
Gain 14.5 Per Cent.
Belief That Figures Are Consid-
erably Higher.

The federal census of Topeka is
SO .022, according to announcement
made by the bureau in Washington,
Saturday night. This is an increase
of 6.s31 persons or 14.5 per cent over
the 1910 census returns.
Greater Topeka, including Oakland.
Highlapd Park and. Seabrook, IL the
census HAD Included them. would have
made a population of $4,000.
Every industry in the city has made
a wonderful advancement in the last
ten years, and bank cIearings, and the
number of telephone subscribers have
increased greatly. The Bell Telephone
company reports an increase of 5000
since 1910.
Figures Are Conservative.
When it is brought out that hun
dreds of homes have been built in To-
Peka in the last ten years and that to-
day these homes and the older houses
of the city are at a premium, it is
known that more than 50.022 are liv-
ing here.
The fact that 5000 telephones alone
have been added to the local exchange
indicates an immense gain in popula-
ton among the better fixed class.
The city's industries have made a
sensational growth and thousan nds of
employees have been added to the pay
rolls.
Altho 1t is most evident that the
citys total population is not included
in the census returns. no demand for
a recount will be made. Topeka has
been growing steadily and without
boom or mushr pom simulant ever
since her incorporation. The city
feels that a growth indication of this
kind is more valuable than an unusual
Z showing that he n LOT

census returns on file in the state IL

of the ca oital city was taken in 1850.
At that time Topeka was a village

THIS is LONGEST DAY
Fourteen Hours and 4 5 Minutes of Sun
Summer Officially Here.

(by 3. ID. Flora, U. y. MeteOrolOgist.)
Today is the longest day of the year
and summer officially begins at 11:40
a. m. The sun rose this morning at
4;57 a. m.-if you were up early
enough to get the benefit of it-and
will set at 1852 a. m, making l 4 hours
and IS minutes between sunrise and
sunset or about 6 hours and rs min
utes of daylight altogether, counting
in the time of twilight morning and
evening. The forenoons have already
begun to shorten as latt week the sun
was rising at 4:56 a. m. but the after
moons will be a minute longer until
the middle of next week, when they
will begin shortening and keep it up
till it is time to DO your Christmas
shopping early" In another month
when summer is at it's hottest, the
days will be "a minutes shorter than
it is now.
The reason the forenoons and after
moons don't begin to shorten at the
same time is because of the variation
between sun time and standard time.
Very few people except astronomers
realize that the earth moves faster in
its annual orbit about the sun in the
winter season than in the summer with
the result that the sun isn't always in
the south at the same hour each day.
At Topeka standard time is 23 minutes
faster than mean sun time, but along
in February it is really 81 minutes
Der it is only minutes faster.
The sun has the reputation OF be-
ing regular but its rising and setting
and its time of arrival at true south
is so irregular that no clock can be
made that will really agree with it and
the result is this irregularity of short
ening of the forenoons and afternoons.
Along the Canadian border. in North
Dakota, the sun rose this morning at
4:30 and will not set until $40. Peo-
pie in that country can sit on their
front porches and read the newspapers
until after p. m.
Going farther north, the sun today
keeps on rising earlier and earlier and
setting later and later until when the
Arctic Circle is reached at 66h de-
grees it does not go below the northern
horizon at all and is still shining at
midnight. At the north pole it has
been three months since the sun rose
and will be three months more till it
sets. A daylight saving law there
would not be very popular. as there is
plenty of time to go joy riding before
sundown after a man has worked s
! hours.

Industrial Court Again Takes
Up Local Wage Case.
FULL DEMAND IS IMPOSSIBLE
Patten Throws Up His Hands
Talks of 15-Cent Fare.
Nearing Probably VIII Be Con-

A 9.53 cent street car fare will be
necessary in Topeka il Topeka Rail-
way company employees get top scale
of IS cents an hour. according to tes-
timony introduced before the indus
trial court today by F. A. Warfield,
rate engineer for the company. The
hearing, postponed two weeks ago on
account of Warfield's absence, was re-
sumed this morning.
Suppose the court grants the men
their demand for a 6O-75 cents an
hour scale?" A. 4. Patten, general
manager. was asked.
That's Impossible, He Says.
Patten threw his hands into the air.
THAT would mean at least a Is
cent fare" he exclaimed. That's inn
possible"
Warfield embellished his original
statement by saying such q. fare would
be necessary to insure the company
the o per cent insured on its invest
ment by the city under the franchise,
less a 10 per cent decrease in traffic
which is expected should the fare go
TO 9.53 cents.
Further figures presented by War
field indicated that if the scent fare
prevailed and a Accent an hour top
scale were ordered, the company
would receive only S65.0S8.27 for de-

Continuing, Warfield pointed out
that the public utilities commission in
an order granted the company the
right to set aside $121, ,600.58 for over
head and fixed charges. In other
words. according to Warfield, with a g.
Sent fare and a Accent top scale the
