PROTEST YACHTING OF STREET
Factories Object TO Closing of HoIli-
day Highway,

Protests were filed with the city
commissioners today Directing to the
vacating of Holiday street, between
Seventh and Eighth streets. as desired
by the Piersen Manufacturing COM
pany.
The protest bore the following sig
natures; The Steel Fixture Manufac-
turing company. the Capital Iron
works. the Messen Coal company. the
Currie Windmill Manufacturing COM
pany, the HARLAN Furniture company,
and J. NJ. Leeper.
Contention was made that the street
serves their establishments satisfac-
torily and conveniently; that 1t is used
by hundreds of shop workers who
would either have to go around or
walk the tracks.
The Piersen company holds that the
street was nothing more than a ditch
when they took over their present
property; that they had improved it
and were under the impression that
their people were the only ones who
used it. The fact that IT adjoins the
west end of their shops has been found
to prove an unsatisfactory influence
upon their workmen. Material has
been lost and tools have disappeared
from the shops. They are fencing in
the remainder of their block in orde r
to utilize the space for storage. Vaca-
ton of the street was desired to afford
additional protection.
The proposition has been referred to
the commissioner of streets.

CUT OFF A CORNER
City Park ''Amputatcd~ to Make Room
fer Spur.


fer Spur.
The southwest corner of City park
was cut off this morning by an ordi-
nance passed by the city commission
ers to give the Rock Island railroad
sufficient room to construct a curved
spur into Crane street
Under the ordinance passed this
morning, Crane street at the south
for a length of one hundred feet.
1t was felt the spur was a necessity
to business and industrial plants in the
river district. and the addition of the
spur would prove of more value to the
city in general than the 40 by 100 foot
tract in the park. Cutting off this
section will make it necessary to tear
down comfort station erected
recently at a cost of more than $1,000.
The comfort station will have to be
erected at another point in the park.
An ordinance passed several months
ago whitfield a strip off the south edge
of the park. The present ordinance
tears off another chunk. Growing in
dustry and the necessity of caring for
it and providing opportunity for the
growth of other plants that may To-
cate later. presages the ultimate dis
appearance of a park located on the
industrial river front. However. the
commissioners feel this will be the last
time it will be felt imperative to chop
into the park.
Commissioner McGiffert declined to
vote on the ordinance. He stated he
did not feel he could vote for it. and
also that he did not care to vote
against it. McGiffert asked the per-
mission of the mayor not to vote on
the ordinance at all.
The action was taken at the instiga-
ton of the Lux Mercantile company,
represented by D. r. Hite, attorney.
Hite plead the necessity of the city
making provision for the growth of
business establishments. Rock Island
and city engineers agreed that the
space provided by the ordinance was
required for the construction of a
properly curved SPUR

new WORD DUEL?
Socialist Candidate for Vice
President in Allen DEFY.
Challenges Governor to a De-
bate on Industrial Strife.
UNDER RULES GOMPERS AFFAIR
They Would Speak on SOlclal-
ism, Labor-Capital Solution.
Substitute for Industrial Court
Is His Suggestion.
UNDER RULES GOMpERS AFFAIR

Gov Henry j. Allen today was chal-
ienged to a debate with either Morris
Hillquit or Seymour Steadman, So
clalist candidate for vice president, on
Socialism Is the Only Solution to In
dustrial Unrest" The challenge came
in a letter from Charles Grassman,
Socialist organizer, LOG Avenue c, New
York.
Grassman stated in his letter that
debate on such a subject naturally
would bring the new court of indus
trial relations out as the predominant
feature of the discussion. He sug-
len assented to the challenge that the
same rules govern this debate as were
used in the Allen-Gompers, except
ing that Grassman desires that tickets
for the debate be placed on sale 10
the public rather than to be divided
between the opposing factions.
I'VE are sure that you will agree
with us that the matter of strikes,
lockouts. stoppages and industrial
strife in general between labor and
capital is the important factor all the
world over" Grassman writes, land
furthermore in view of the fact that
the Socialists are steadily growing in
power in all countries and in many
already have control. it justly follows
that in this country before there can
the theories and practices of the So
cialist movement must be taken into
consideration"
Emmett D. George, private secre-
tary to the governor, stated that he
would present the challenge to Cover
nor Allen upon his return from the
Chicago convention.

ADMIT IT is WRONG
County Officials Confess to
Weak Assessor Report.
Topeka Never So Prosperous
Yet a Loss Is Shown.

A query as to why the county as
SCISSORS report shows a decrease in the
populations of Topeka and Shawnee
county was received today by Kenneth
Raub, county clerk, from ]. c. Moh-
Ter. secretary of agriculture.
The inaccuracy of the figures is adj
mitted by Raub. The fact that the
salaries of the county officials are
by the assessors each year is causing
no little dissatisfaction around the
court house. The larger the popula-
ton, the larger the salaries drawn by
country officials, Raub's reply to
Mohler contained the time-worn
statement that the state law should
be hanged so that county officers
would not have to depend upon the re-
port of the assessors for their bread
and butter.
Mothers letters follows:
I'm checking over the population
figures for Shawnee county, 1 am at
a loss to understand why a loss of
2,7S9 should be shown. especially the
loss of 1880 in Topeka city. In To-
peka the third ward is shown as hav-
ing had a loss of 2.1SO persons in one
year; the sixth ward a loss of $50 and
the fifth ward a loss of 1862.
1T would be interesting. to say the
least, to know just why a loss is shown
in the population of this county. Will
you not write me regarding this %
In the assessors report the popula-
ton of the county was given as So 49
and the population of Topeka city as
All.
The report of the assessors evident
ly is a piece of ridiculous inaccuracy
and carelessness on the part of Shaw
nee county Never was Topeka so
thickIy populated as today. Not a va
cant house in the city that will shed
water can be found. Persons have
been paying bonuses for homes to rent
for the last six months. Vacant rooms
have been transferred into living quar-
ters and families have made apart
ments out of the second floors of their
homes. Down town back rooms in the
second and third floors of old business
blocks have been made into rooms for
light housekeeping. Despite the high
costs many new homes have been
built.
Topeka today is in the most pros
porous condition in her history. The
report of the assessors, of course, is
grossly unfair to Topeka and her
proud population. Furthermore. coun-
ty officials admit their report is
wrong.
It is time that the city insist upon
efficiency in matters of this kind. The
next state population report will show
Topeka as one of the very few cities
in Kansas showing a loss in popula-
ton when, as matter of fact, the
city has made a tremendous growth.
Now comes the assessors report and
attached to it the admission that it is
incorrect.
Is this the service that Topeka and
Shawnee county pay for?
