WEST 9Th IN HOWL
Residents to Protest DiscOn-
tinuance Street Car Service.
Serve Notice on Industrial Court
Today.

Notice. was served on members of
the court of industrial relations today
that residents living on West Eighth
street are going to file a protest
against the discrimination of the
West Eighth street car service.
E. c. Rankin, who runs the Rankin
grocery store at 1923 West Eighth
street. called upon Judge Higgins to-
day and registered a complaint against
the discontinuance of the service. He
said that. if the order of the court
was carried out, his business would be
materially hurt and that many labor
ing people who live on the street
would be forced to move so that they
could get adequate car service.
Blames Traction Company.
Rankin suggested that if the West
Eighth line has not been producing
revenue sufficient to keep it in opera
ton. the company can blame Its own
lack of efficiency and poor business
methods" rather than the territory
served He suggested that the line
would be more generally patroniZed if
the rolling stock and trackage were
put into condition and suggested that
the company might increase greatly
its revenue if it would divert a part
of the West Sixth street business TO
West Eighth and extend the Eighth
street line to connect with the Gage
park line.
Service on the Eighth street line is
to be discontinued Monday for 90
day period. and if found satisfactory
the order permitting the discOntinu-
ance will be made permanent

HUNT FOR FATHER
Polio Aefter Man Said to Have
Betrayed Daughter.
To-day Naomi Casner Is Sent to
Lansing.

On the day that Naomi Casner, IS,
with eight men and women went to
Lansing for treatment for a social dis
ease, the law began TO avenge the
downfall of the girl who claims her
father, Ed Casner. is the father of her
child, which is now 4 years old
The first steps of the law to COM
pensate in a way the wrong done the
girl was in the arrest last night of
Clifford Casner, her brother. who of
ficers assert aided the father in escap-
ing from Topeka. Clifford Casner is
charged with being an accessory to
the assault charge filed against the
father. He was arrested by City De-
tective Nedeau.
For two weeks Paul Edgar, deputy
county attorney. and Kate and Kill
maurs King. humane officers, have
been working on the case. The hui
initiation of the girls position. be-
trayed by her own father, it is
charged, made the unfolding of the
story to officers difficult. Finally, she
broke down and confessed.
Prior to her confession she had been
ca usht in the health department drag
eased. Today. with five other women
and three Ilen. all diseased. she was
taken to the state farm at Lansing.
Efforts to locate the father were
futile. There is big family of Cas-
ners in Topeka and officers say they
found them clannish and afraid to
give out any information.
Finally information was placed in
Edgar's hands to the effect that Clar-
ence Casner. a son of Ed Casner and
brother to the betrayed Naomi. had
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1920-08-13

aided in spiriting his father out of the
city. Today. from information re-
ceived from Clarence Casner, officers
were confident they would locate the
father.
This makes the third case of this
character we have investigated in a
month";" Kilmaurs King said today.
1T used to be that the responsiveness of
such cases caused officers to hesitate
in prosecuting and bringing the exist
ence of such sins out. But we have
no difficulty since the war in showing
officers and the public that by prose-
cutting and enlightening the public
on the existence of such people that
a warning is issued and a public sem
timent aroused that promises to do
much to stamp out such affaire."
1t was a coincidence that the day thc
law began ito grind out justice for
Naomi Casner in its slow way that
William Wright and John Nicholson.
charged with similar crimes against
their daughters, should appear before
Judge Rad NJ. Lee for their prelimi-
nary hearing. Lawyers were there to
defend and both cases were continued.
The Casners formerly lived at 4o7
Monroe street.
