BEAT LEVER LAW? KICK ON CARNIVAL
American Legion Show Meets
With Opposition Today.
West Seventh Merchants Claim
1t Will Injure Business.

The carnival to be held in Topeka
the week of May 8, under the auspices
OF the local post of the American Le-
gion, met with opposition this morn
ing when a delegation of business men
called on the city commissioners at
a special meeting and protested
against staging the shows on West
Seventh street.
The Legion had already contracted
with Rice & Dorman, claimed to be
one of the best carnival companies in
the country, to come to Topeka the
week of May 8. This morning the
commissioners were presented with a
petition signed by twelve business men
on West Seventh street asking that
the permission granted the carnival
company to show on that thorofare
be revoked. A number of spokesmen
backed up the appeal made in the
petition. The matter was referred to
Mayor H. J. Corwine, who had not ap-
peared at the meeting up to that time,
and the city attorney, to be reported
back to the regular meeting next
Tuesday morning.
"Signed Under Misapprehension."
A previous petition, circulated by
the American Legion. and asking per-
mission of the city to stage the shows
on West Seventh and Jackson streets,
had been signed by fourteen business
houses in that section of the business
ulSCrlcl- IIlS morning II was declared
that three of them. at least had
signed under a misapprehension that
the carnival was to be staged in the
auditorium. One man said he was
away and that an employe signed his
name to the petition.
The business men expressed the
kindliest feelings for the American
Legion, but most of them declared
they had suffered so much from the
effects of the carnival held there three
years ago that they could not stand
for another one. The street being cut
off to traffic. it took business. away
from that section, they declared.
Claims that permission to stage the
carnival there again would be dis
eliminating against the business
houses in that section were rendered
the commissioners. The men declared
themselves in favor of the shows. but
asked that they be staged in some
other locality.
According to Adjutant John Bergen.
the legion has contracted with the
Rice & Dorman shows to come here
for the purpose of raising money to
help defray expenses of the legion.
There will be sixteen shows of vari-
Gus kinds and fifty concessions. some
of them entirely new, according to
Bergen. The shows will include a
water carnival and some beautiful div
ing girls.

Eat Beans and

Price Crisis!
Eat beansi


This was the plea made today by
local commission men and wholesalers.
It was advanced as the one solution of
the present potato crisis. Within a few
days, it was declared. potatoes will be
selling for 9 and 10 cents a pound re-
tail, due to the strike of switchmen
and yardmen and the nearness of the
old crop to exhaustion.
Beans. It was pointed out are SELL
ing ct about 8 cents a pound whole
sale. and a pound of beans will go as
far as three pounds of potatoes. This
is not only reducing this part of the
grocery bill one-third. but ii will have
a tendency to force potato prices down
and tide over the old crop until the
new crop begins to come in a month
tarded by the cold weather. There
is. however. an abundant supply of
beans on the market.

stores today at from $1.10 to $3.50 a

THE STRIKE SITUATION
(By the United Press.J

Industries in many sections of the
country were closing down today be-
cause of inability to obtain supplies as
a result of the "unauthorized' strike
of railway yardmen and switchmen.
The strike, which started in Chi
cago, had spread to the leading rail-
way centers of the nation from New
York to San Francisco. Estimates
placed the number of strikers at ap-
proximately $4,000 men.
Railroads reported passenger service
still unaffected. but thousands of cars
loaded with food supplies stood on the
switches.
The food situation in many cities
will become serious in case the strike
continues another week, authorities
believed.
Shortage of coal was the first re-
suit of the strike felt by industries.
centers were forced to close furnaces
because of lack of fuel. Coal mines
in the Illinois and Indiana fields were
shutting down.
Livestock centers received only
small supplies of stock. Fifty thou
sand men were idle in Chicago, ac-
cording to estimates. Officials of the
railroad brotherhoods are publicly op-
posing the strike. They said the walk
out was the result O. organization of a

Investigation of the strike was
started by the department of justice
under direction of Attorney General
Palmer, with the view of possible ac-

CONTINUE WHEAT GUARANTEE
Kansas Board of Agriculture Says
Farmer Deserves Protection.

Kansas farmers should be assured
the minimum guarantee on wheat-at
least until after the new crop begins to
move. That was the position taken by
the state board of agriculture in reso-
lutions adopted at a special meeting
in the state house.
The demand of the state board is
for the protection of the wheat grower
until his new grain yield is ready to
sell. The board also urged reduced
railroad rates for harvest hands. En-
dorsement was given the Capper-
Hersman bill legalizing cooperative
marketing. In keeping with advance
statements. the state board refused to
support q plan to ask the government
to reimburse wheat growers for losses
under the guarantee of 1917.
