WANTANEW TRAIN
Topeka Merchants to Ask Mo.
Pac. for Additional Service.
Also to Request P. Z. C. for
Changes in ''Mixed Daily"

The members of the Topeka Mer-
chants association believe that the
train schedule of the Missouri Pacific
railroad, with relation to Topeka
should be altered, and that additional
service should be maintained into To-
peka by that road
With that belief in mind, the asso-
citation is to appear at a hearing be-
fore the state public utilities commits
sion and present evidence.
The Missouri Pacific starts a mixed
train-passenge and freight COM
bined-out of Topeka early in the
morning. The same train returns late
in the evening.
The merchants believe that welfare
of the patrons of the road demands
that the schedule be. reversed, and
that the train be run into Topeka in
the morning and out in the evening.
The merchants will also show cause
to the commission for the addition OF
an exclusively passenger train to the
service.
The public utilities commission is to
hold a hearing soon on several mat
tiers pertaining to service on the
branch lines of the Missouri Pacific,
and it is at this hearing that the To-
peka merchants will present their evil
dence.

The terms of the settlement are to

Dali Must Agree.
The agreement reached by the Brit
ish and Sim Fein delegates today
binds both sides to recommend it to
their parliaments. It is a formal de-
tailed and conclusive document and its
terms prevent the necessity of further
negotiations.
Should the Dali agree to the docu-
ment-and q disagreement is not
looked for as it meets satisfactorily

be embodied in bill and submitted to
the British parliament which is ex-

To Release Prisoners.
Dublin, Dec. 6.-Release within a
few days of 1000 Sim Feiners in
termed in British detention camps as
result of the Irish peace agreement
was expected today.
The agreement may not be sub
mitted to Dali Eireann for ratification
until next week.
E. J. Duggan, one of the Sim Fem
peace delegates. and Desm ond F'itz-
gerald, official press representative of
the Sim Fem delegation, are expected
here this evening with a copy of the
agreement for Eamonn de Valera.
News of the agreement reached
Dublin so late there was only time for
the bare announcement in the late
editions of the morning papers. There
was a noticeable increase in public
herents said that the people had full
confidence in Arthur Griffith and
Michael Collins to protect the country
political aspirations.
The Freeman'S Journal, commenting
on the agreement reached in London,
says that ireland needs no assurance
that the peace terms are in harmony
with the principles for which she
stands. Ireland was aware from the
first, the newspaper says, that these
principles contained no menace to the
real interests of Great Britain, and
that this fact appears at last to be
clear to the British statesmen.

One of the booster billboards which
are being erected by members of the
Topeka Merchants association in To-
peka's trade territory is to serve a
double purpose.
At the point on the bank of the
Kaw, where a Studebaker car driven
by Jess Neiswender and carrying a ne
gro, Harry Kennedy, plunged into the
river from the road, one of the signs
is to act as a deterrent against further
accidents of the same sCrt.
The city of Perry has donated
ground at the dangerous curve on
which the billboard is to be placed. 1t
will be erected at such an angle that
approaching motorists will be warned

DAIRYMAN STRUCK BY AUTO
Joe Smelser, 1910 Strong Avenue
Taken to Stormont Hospital.

Joe Smelser, 1910 Strong avenue, a
dairyman, was struck this morning by
motor car. and injured so severely
that it was necessary for him to be
taken to Stormont hospital.
The car which struck him was driv-
en- by Mrs. r. B. Phillips, SOS
Washburn avenue. Her car was under
complete control. and she was not
speeding. according to the version of
the police and witnesses to the acct
dent, which occurred near the corner
of Huntoon and College avenues. Po-
lice believe the accident was unavoid-
able.
According to witnesses Smelser
stepped out from behind his wagon,
carrying a bottle of milk, almost in
front of the car, without apparently
observing its approach. Mrs. Phillips
stopped her car Immediately.
Smelser was carried into the home
of Mrs. Elizabeth Porter, 1241 Col
lege avenue, until the arrival of a
physician, when he was removed TO
Stormont hospital in PenwelFs ambu-
lance.
At the hospital it was found that
Smelser, who is 76 years of age, was
suffering from a cash on the top OF
his head, which bIed profusely bad
bruises on the right shoulder and arm
and slight bruises on both legs, where
the skin was torn loose. None OF
tiAese 4IlJuiIe IS regarded as serious
by DR.. Frederick f. Vest, the attend
ing physician who says Smelser
should recover within a few days pro-
Vided no internal injuries develop. Or
account of his advanced age the pa
tent is suffering severely from shock
the doctor said, but no bones were
broken.
The accident occurred a few fee
west of the intersection of Huntoor
and College avenues Mrs. Phillip,
was driving her car east on Huntoor
at the time, and was on her way dowr
town So well did she have her car
under control that she stopped the
machine four or five feet from where
