SMELL SMOKE?
WOoster-King Fire VIII Break
Out Again Monday
Controversy ShrOuded in Blue
Haze Before State Board.

Tobacco is the rock on which the
recent smash-up occurred in the office
of Miss Lorraine z. Wooster, state
superintendent of public instruction
according TO state house gossip There
is a rumor that Miss Wooster sought
the removal of Miss Julia B. King
secretary Of the state board of edu-
cation, because she would not join the
state superintendent in her tobacco
fight on Frank L. Pinet, secretary of
the state teachers association.
Miss Woosters hostility to Pinet is
said to have been famed from a
smouldering fire to a blaze following
the recent gathering of the state edi-
torial association at Hutchinson.
There Pinet Joined with members of
the Topeka Press club in kidding"
Miss Wooster because of her fight on
demon nicotine.
OF course Miss Wooster did not de-
sire to direct fight on the newspaper
fraternity. But Miss Wooster, who
attended the convention sat thru a red
hot 'panning" at the editorial dinner
preceding the Press clubs burlesque
THE Court of Political Aspirations
While Miss Wooster did not display
her resentment during the show, it is
declared she harbored an antagonism
which was directed against Pinet and
later fell on the shoulders of Miss
King.
During the fun making at Miss
Wooster's expense. the Press club sang
a song. Goodbye Lizzie. We're Going
to Smoke Now or some other SEN
timent, Pinet who journeyed to
Hutchinson with the Press club gang
Joined IN the singing and actually
smoked a cigaret-or maybe it was a
cigar.
Later, so the gossips tell. Miss
Wooster sought Miss Kings co-opera-
ton in a fight on Pinet. But Miss
King wasn't looking for tfouble-
whether she approved or disapproved
the cigaret. So Miss King was advised
she might look for another job. Be
ing quite content in her position, Miss
King declined to move. Theh Miss
Wooster refused to sign her pay
check. Later came Miss Wooster
charges to the state board and Miss
Kings mandamus to compel signing
of her vouchers by Miss Wooster
and a supplemental attorneys fee to
Miss Kings lawyers of $1,000. This
latter judgment is asked against Miss
Wooster personally.
The Wooster-King row will be
staged in the state house Monday
Now the state house family is waiting
breathlessly for some word of testi-
Tnony concerning the rumor of the big
Smash-up.

Kansas City a few years ago a line of
sewers exploded, completely wrecking
the houses along more than a block.
This danger, when it begins to form.
must be eliminated at once. Potts
and Winburn have become so ac-
customed to leaping into the sewers
to push out the cholSes that they give
little attention to the danger they face.
AS result they have come close to
losing their lives several times and
have been dragged to the surface I'M
conscious.
Both were gassed two years ago in
a sewer east of the Santa Fe shops.
Winburn leaped into the sewer to
knock loose choke, and was seen to
drop a distance of eight feet to the
bottom. where he lay unconscious.
Potts, leaping down to rescue his com
rade, was overcome and fell across his
body But he still had life enough to
call for help and woman, seeing the
Danger, called a fire company. The
men were dragged out in time to save
their lives. but they each spent a week
in a hospital.
Lost without Each Other,
Last month Potts took the first va
cation he had enjoyed since his serv-
Ice with the city and went to Salt
Lake CITY Winburn was lost without
his partner. He can go immediately to
any sewer. or Joint or any designated
point in the city If the place be de-
scribed to him. 7but he has trouble in
finding street numbers. Potts has the
opposite faculty. So, with each MAX
ing up the others failings. the pair de-
liver to the department. the utmost in
efficient and reliable service.
L have worked with these men six
teen years" said Superintendent Sny-
der. They have worked SUNDAYS
nights. holidays and at any time they
were needed. Sometimes they have
worked for thirty-six hours without
stopping. Yet 1 have never heard
from either single word of com
plant. I think 1 can say without
questions that they know more about
Topeka's sewers than any man living
not excepting myself. I fear it would
be impossible to duplicate their serv.

TUo Veteran Employees
Have the Only Keys
TO City Sewer System
Street Department Would Be Lost Without Charles Win
burn and A. T. Potts-Face Death Daily
Team Cannot Work Single.

Topeka, going stolidly about her
business, little dreams of the service
being rendered her by Charles Win
burn, 5S, and A T. Potts, Sc, who
have the reputation of knowing more
about the city's sewer system than any
other men living. Both are employed
under Frank Snyder, superintendent
of streets, in the department of w. S.
Hancock, street commissioner. 1t is
their business to look after the sewers,
and they do it with an ability which
their superiors declare probably never
can be duplicated.
Winburn has been with the street
department for tw-enty-seven years
Potts's period of service amounts to
twenty years. With the single excep-
ton of Uncle" Brady. who retired
some time ago, no other men ever
served the city so long. Brady's period
of service was thirty-five years.
Face Death Almost Daily.
Facing death almost daily from the
poisonous gases of the sewers, Potts
and Winburn, working together as
they have for twenty years, keep the
mains open to permit free drainage
to the river. They look after choked
sewers, flush the sewers, care for the
flush tanks, do relaying and repair
work and sometimes by way of varie-
ty, are sent out with a truck load of
material for other workmen.
Probably no one in the city outside
the street department. fully appreci-
ates the service these. veterans are
rendering Topeka. A choked sewer
during a heavy storm may result in
| flooded Easements. The water may
| even back into houses. These men
have an uncanny faculty for finding
| the choke in the least possible time
and Kidding the neighborhood Of the
menace.
One Narrow Escape
Even the deadly gas used by the
Huns is not the equal in poisonous
quality of sewer gas. This gas, form
! ing in choked sewers, unless it car
find a ready outlet, frequently blows
the tops off .manholes and in some
cases, when it becomes heavier thar
water, even rises into the houses. Ir
