o'clock the residents in the vicinity of

into a state of excitement by the report
of pistol-shots
The police having learnt from time
to time that a gang of young men was
in the habit of gambling openly IN the
Field, and failing to make any arrests, as
the offenders would run away upon catch
ing sight Of the approach OF a Cop" the
unique idea cf utilizing the Hospital am
bulance for the purp )Se of throwing the
gang off the scent" was pa into
vogue. Sal ambulance was therefore
hailed before the entrance to Police head
quarters, and four cops, accompanied
by their Chief (Leary and Director

the scene of operations. In the mean
while the gang had assembled. Blue
skies. and cool breezes added their

Other parties were also in the Field :;
some were flying their kites, ONE again,
were playing at baseball, while others
looked on.
Sea ed under the trees, the game was
started, waxing by degrees hotter and
more exciting. Larger, bets were stalk
ed, and voices rose louder ard more
excited as the parties won or lost. Soon
the cs1uck-chuck of a motor driven ma
chine is heard, and a few minutes later
the ''ambuls nee" heaves in sight. Hello!
Who is sick again? But so familiar is

notice is aiken Of it. But what is this

City Law Becomes Effective
After Publication Feb. 1.

The ordinance providing for the in
stallation of taxi meters on the taxi
cabs Of Topeka, finally was passed to-
day by the city commission. The dis
cussion lasted well into the lunch
hour.
In order to give the taxi men a
chance to order and obtain their
meters, the ordinance will not be pub
lished and become effective until
February 1. Old taxicab licenses will
hold over until that date, and no new
licenses will be issued until the ordi-
nance is effective.
There were eleven taxicab drivers
and their representatives present at
the meeting this morning, and every
paragraph of the ordinance was dis
cussed and for the most part opposed,
as it was read.
W. A. S. Bird. attorney, represented
the taxi men and made the first talk
against the ordinance. The chief
basis of the objection was in the cost

asserted that such bonds could only be
secured at a total cost of $500 a year.
and that the purchase of a meter
would bring the necessary expense of
equipping a car, above $500, without
considering the cost of city, state and
federal licenses. Bird and other speak
ers maintained that this charge is pro-
hibitive and will drive the independent

will be up to the watches of the driv-
ers and passengers to measure the
time. The scale of prices in the first
draft of the ordinance-35 cents for
the first three-fourths of a mile, and
10 cents for each additional half mile
or fraction thereof, stands. So does
the provision that the charge for each
extra passenger shall be IS cents.
1t will cost fifty cents to make a
complaint against the charge of a
taXimeter, if the charge is found to be
correct, according to an arrangemen
made today. Under the ordinance,
any dissatisfied passenger may have
the meter tested by the city license
collector. If the meter is wrong by
5 per cent or more, the taxicab owner
must pay the inspection of fifty cents.
If the meter is correct, it is planned

complainant. And to make sure that

a rule made to the effect that the
fifty. cent-fee must be deposited by

is made, TO be refunded if the meter is

Mayor Couldn't Pacify.
Mayor Corwine assured the taxi

continued to be obstinate resistance
at each section of the ordinance.
The taxi-drivers will have more
