returning July IL with a promise to
live with him. The next day. he says.
she asked him for $40 which he gave
her. Then she left him again, return
ing a few days later.
Upon her return, he says. she refused
to cook for him, complained co1tin-
ually and ran away from home inter-
mittently, going to the public parks
with other women, joy riding with
other men and became angered when
he questioned her.

TOPEKA TEAM WINNER
Negro knights TcmpIar Took High
Honors at Cincinnati COnclave.

Cyrene commandery, of Topeka,
took second honors in the drill con-
tests at the national conclave of the
knights Templar at Cincinnati this
week, according to a telegram re-
ceived today by r. Thompson from
E. Hickerson.
Scores of drill teams from all parts
of the United States gathered at Gin
cinnati to compete with each other at
the national gathering of the big ne
gro Masonic order. New York took
the first prize. The fact that Topeka
stood second amid this great array is
something for the whole city to be
proud of.
The Cyrene commandery is the
strongest negro Masonic order in the
city and has a large membership. For
several weeks the drill team mem
bers, numbering twenty-five, were
busy getting themselves in shape for
the contest. They went to Cincinnati
with the avowed purpose of bringing
home the bacon" About thirty To-
peka members attended the conclave.
The showing made by the local team
this time will leave the commandery
unsatisfied with anything except first
prize at the concIave newt year, local
members said today.

I'VE should elect men to high Of

ton of the Shawnee County W. c. T.

PLATFORMS IN FAVOR
C. of c. Sentiment for Them for Street
Car Patrons.

c. OF c. Sentiment for Them for Street
Car Patrons.
Topeka street car patrons probably
will experience the novelty of waiting
for cars on raised platforms within
the next sixty days. At a meeting at
the Chamber of Commerce today noon
it was tentatively decided to build
raised platforms at Sixth and Kansas
avenues and at Eighth and Kansas
avenues.
L. ]. Smyth, director of the Kansas
City division of the national safety
council, met with a committee from
the Topeka Automobile club, represen-
ia tives of the street railway company
and the city commissioners. 1t was
shown that the platforms have been
tried out in various other cities and
proven quite successful.
The platforms probably will be built
of concrete, about 100 feet long. and
be elevated a few inches above the
surface of the pavement. This will
protect persons waiting for, boarding
or alighting from street cars from dam
ger of being run over by careless auto
drivers. The auto which runs into the
platform will more likely smash a
wheel or tear off a fender.
