consisting pressure in this market
was unimportant and in consequence a
strong tone obtained on buying by eastern
interests a part of which was credited to
being against export sales. Cash prices
were firm with good grades bringing about
~ cents over September prices. Shipping
sales totalled $4,000 bushels, including
100000 to exporters. Country offerings
were reported somewhat light but it is
generally conceded that any small advance

not look for a sustained advance as yet.

and MiSdemeanorS.
Police Tuesday night started a
roundup of alleged drug addicts and
suspects in an effort to check tho
petty crime wave that has swept over
Topeka during the. last week.
Fourteen men and boys were arrest

not a burglary or theft was reported
during the night, whereas for several
nights previous several burglary
alarms had been received.
Chief Guy Swallow stated today that
the crime situation is we'll under con-
troll here and that the arrest of the
fourteen persons Tuesday will prob
ably result in checking the burglary
wave to a large extent. The craving
for dope, it is pointed out, ard the
inability of the addicts to work and
earn money turns their minds to other
channels of getting money with which
to obtain the drugs.
Those arrested and booked for in
vestigation Tuesday night are Charles
Anderson, Clyde Anderson, Clarence
Wilson, negro; Finas Davis and Lewis
Armstead, negroes; r. B. Dishman.
Chester Hibbs, Lester Hubbard, Ole
Wernsen, William Wernsen and Steve
Israel. Alvin Harper. Elmer Ander-
son and Earl Witchey, three boys,
were arrested Tuesday morning on
charges of burglarizing a grocery
store at Fourth and Lake streets.

more than seven years in the Kansas

The new city water filtration plant
will be completed six months sooner
than was contemplated when the con-

at that time, but a part of the filters
will have been installed. and the fill
ters may be put into service as rapid
ly as they are installed.
