The busiest corner in North Topeka
IS at the intersection of Kansas. Cor
don, and Central avenues. according to
prominent citizens of that part of the
city who are trying to obtain removal
of the North Topeka fire station from
its present location on the southeast
corner of the intersection, ss-~..-s
Because of the fact that Kansas
avenue is the\rnain traffic channel for
the country north, of Topeka. and is
much used by local traffic, congestion
often results. 4. Gordon street is the
entrance into Topeka by way. of the
three bfidges, Central avenue is the
highway TO the northwest. There are
three gasoline and oil service stations
located at the intersection. two on the
point Between Kansas and Central
avenues, on the north side of Gordon
street The completion of the new
postoffice building now in, the, course
OF construction, will increase conges-
ton.
Chief Joseph Hanlon of the fire de-
partmept faVors the transfer OF the
station to some other point. The con-
gestion hampers the department, he
says Response to alarms is often
delayed by congested traffic. There
is the ever present, danger of an &C
cident When the station was first in
stalled there were two horse-d drawn
apparatus vehicles there, one on each
side Of the STRUCTURE. Only one COM
bitiatiof1 motor truck is stationed there
now. Only half the building is used,
yet it is necessary in cold weather to
heat the entire building to keep one
side comfortab le,- The saying in up
! Keep, heat. and other expenses would
be considerable should the station be
transferred to other and smaller quar-
tiers. Chief Hanlon hopes to see the
change made soon. C, +...
The corner is too valuable as a bust
ness location, also, to make it prac-
teal to hold it for the location of a
fire station. Since the fire department
favors the change, North Topeka bust
ness men who are ciamoring for its
removal hope for definite action soon.

NauSeS
The big fight over the proposed
plank to regulate Industrial trouble is
practically certain to hold up reports
of the platform committee. A num-
Der of members. of the committee have
intifnated they did not expect to report
before Thursday.
This delay may mean that Governor
Allen will place Gefieral Wood in NOM
nation some time Thursday. Had the
platform been ready for consideration
today. many Of the party leaders Urged
that the orators start the fireworks
this afternoon. Governor Allen this
morning completed final draft of his
speech. 1t is expected to be finally
approved by the Wood managers dur
ing the day.
Bill White Disobcys Orders.
One of the biggest sensations among
Kansas delegates during the conven-
ton was VILLA m Allen Whites refusal
gates. White was elected as the Kan
sas member of the resolutions com
mittee. When the Watson and Mills
fight for chairman developed, the
Kansas crowd directed White to sup
port Watson. The instruction was fl
nal and without compromise.
When the committee met Tuesday
night, White voted for Mills. He cast
one of the three votes for the losing
candidate.
Il always fight little harder when
d man IS losing" was Whites only
explanation as to his action. He said
he would not offer statement to
members of the state federation
Idaho Vote for Allen.
john Thomas, a member of the
Idaho delegation, is said to have, told
friends in Chicago that he will add to
the split among his crowd and will
cast his vote for Governor Allen.

of the Sixth district congressional com
mittee, may cast the first vote for the
governor from his former home state.
Thomas was formerly register of the
land office at Colby, Kan. He is now
an Idaho banker.
Governor Aliens friends today re-
ceived assurances that after the early
ballots they would receive the John
son votes from, the North Carolina
delegation, while Washington may
vote for Allen after being relieved of
instruction responsibilities.
