The driver leaped as he set the brakes and one of his ankles was badly sprained. No one in the car was hurt.

this might be for the purpose of hav-
ing Harding finally pass upon reply
of the allied invitation.

Secretary Hughes. backed by Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover, it is under
stood today, takes the stand that the
United States should have at least un-
official representation in the allied
bodies to which this government has
now been invited.
Senate Republican leaders, it is be-

American representatives cannot be
delegated to the allied councils with
out the consent OIL the senate anu pos
sib1y without a special act of congress.

within his prerogatives by appointing
an unofficial observer.

Every Township in Shawnee
County Increases Population.
Total Is 7O,4Os, According to
Assessors Reports.
INCREASE OF $3.50 OVER 1920
Figures for Oakland Show Gain
of 81 Persons.
Population Is 5000
Under Government Count.

Every township and town in Shaw
nee county showed a gain in popuIa-
ton this year over 1920, according to
the annual assessors report issued by
Douglas Graham, county clerk. The
total population of the county March
1 this year was 70,408. This is TAX
ing the government figures of 50,022
for the city of Topeka and the asses
sors' figures for the rest of the county.
Owing to the illness of two deputy
assessors. two of the city books have
not yet been completed. This is an
increase of 6,659 persons for the
county.
Oakland Gains in Population.
The population of Oakland, accord
ing to the assessors report, is 1876, a
gain of 81 over last year. Altho defi-
brook and other additions adjoining
the city are not available, it is estI-
mated that the population of Greater
Topeka now exceeds $1,000 persons.
The assessors report this year, not in
cluding the two books still out, shows
45,79S inhabitants of Topeka proper.
Even this is an increase over the total
figures of 44,761 last year. 1t is prob
able that there will be about 2,000
more persons on the two books now
out This would leave the population
of the city about 5000 under the gov
ernment census of last year and there
is reason to believe that many per-
sons were missed by the federal
enumerators.
Population of Townships.
Population of townships and cities
and the increases shown, according to
the report this wear are as follows:
