MANY QUESTIONS ARE ASKED

Te attitude of Topeka landlords to-
ward allowing children to live in
rented property is to be disclosed by
the child welfare survey now in prog
ress in the city. One of the principal
questions being asked by canvassers as
they visit every home in the city is:
I'm how many rented properties are
children forbidden" ?"
THE crowded living conditions of
many families may be due to the fact
that children are not allowed to live
in many rented homes" one of the
leaders of the survey said today, land
it is known that higher rents are
charged where children are allowed
than where there are no children"
Awaiting Results of Survey.
The housing committee of the
Chamber of Commerce is awaiting
the result of the survey to use the
valuable data gathered in solving To-
peka's housing problem. Other ques-
tions asked by the canvassers which
will bring forth valuable statistics,
are:
How many houses in the block %
"How many families in a house ?"
How many persons living in

Chicago, Oct 6.-Having read how
women in Indiana were successfully
mixing jury service with the house
work and handing down verdicts be-
tween club~and social engagements.
Police Magistrate John F. Boyer. of
Evanston, yesterday attempted the ex-
pertinent. 1t was a failure. The Evan

when it comes to discharging civic
duties by sitting in a musty court room
on a sunshiny October afternoon-the

Magistrate Boyer had planned for
some time to impane1 a jury of women,
and the opportunity presented itself
when Steve -Thimios brought legal
pressure upon one Peter Tutules to
force him to release a mortgage. 1t
was a question that dealt with the
home. the magistrate figured, and
therefore of vital interest to women.
He called Constable William Sill and
sent him out to get six women Two
hours later the constable returned
alone He had pleaded, urged, threat
ened and politely requested twenty
women to serve, he said. without sue
cess. He had visited their homes, gone
into stores and offices and stopped
them on the street. Here were the
twenty answers he reported:

MOB STAYS THREETAYL0R wins SUIT
His Name Goes on Ballot for
State Senator.
Decision Reached Today in Su'
preme Court.

Carr W. Taylor's name goes on the
general election ballot as the Repub-
lican nominee for state senator in the
Reno-Kingman-Pra district. The su-
preme court today denied the appli-
cation lof Senator VIII Thompson for a
wyit otnandamus and-the substitution
Of his name for that of Taylor. In a
HssinoraIidum the court held Senator
Thompson had slept on his rights.
Formal opinion will be handed down
later.
In deciding the application for a
writ the court held to the position
taken in 1908, when Justice Burch
wrote the opinion in the Griffin Cess
ner1elegisiative contest from Barber
county. Senator Thompson's right. to
contest was waived when he waited
more than three days after the issu-
ance of certificate to Taylor by L. ].
Pettijohn, secretary. of state. Had the
contest been brought before the con-
test board-composed of secretary of
state, auditor and attorney general
proper showing. Now it is too late.
Thompson Sought Recount
Senator Thompson in his petition
urged that ballots which should have
been counted for him in Reno county
were rejected while illegal ballots for
Taylor were accepted. He sought a
recount thru appointment of a COM
missioner and substitution of his own
name for that of Taylor.
The court held that proper pro-
cedures were open to SenStor Thomp-
son~in his contest for the senatorial
nomination. but that he cannot secure
the removal of Taylor's name from the
ballot at this late date.
Both Live in Hutchinson .
Senator Thompson and Taylor are
both residents of Hutchinson SEN
ator Thompson succeeded Emerson
Carey to the senate in 1917 and, was
a candidate for denomination. Taylor,
who was formerly attorney for the old
railroad board, was one of Senator
Thompson's two opponents. On the
face of returns, he won the nominal
ton by 29 votes.
W. L. (Ironjaw) Brown OF King
man, is the Democrat nominee. Much
bitter factional feeling has developed
in the district a result of the con-
test which followed the lively pre-
primary fight.

Grimes scored a shutout for Brook
iyn. holding the American leaguers to
seven hits. In only one inning were the
Cleyelanders able to drive out more
than one safety.
Just as Coveleskie made the Brook
lyn bats almost useless yesterday.
Grimes used the same spitball slants to
BATTLE the Indians today. He was in
vincible and breezed thru the entire
game without facing danger except in
the eighth, when a streak OF wildness
seized him. He walked three batsmen
but pitched himself out of the hole
courageously with the dangerous Doc
Johnston at bat. He~was backed bril-
liantly by the entire Robin team.
While Cleveland was making a vain
effort to solve Grimes, the Robins
were having no trouble with the Big
Jim Bagby.
The Cleveland right handler was
decidedly off form that won him
thirty-one games this year. He was
not only ineffective in the box, but
made the only error of the game, a
wild throw to second base that made
possible the second run of the game
