of another day of controversy oyer
whether the match for the heavy
weight championship between
dempsey and Carpenter should, or
could be cancelled owing to alleged
nCn-iulfillment of COntraCtual
clauses. Much of the discussion
al peared to hinge on the mystery
Of the missing bond, as Wag
facetiously acclaimed Dtmpscy's
surety papers.
According to Richard, kearns
and others, such a bona Oh $5O,OU0
was made out by the champion
and his manager but its Wherea-
bouts is shrouded in mystery. Of
ficials of the Central Union Trust
company state that the bond was
not in their possession, as called
for by the contract entered into
November 5.

mayor CRITICISED
FOR METER VETO
Bill to Break Monopoly Would
Not Mean One Man Power,
Says Sponsor.

Mayor Hylan's avowed reason for hts
veto OF the bill passed by the Legisla-
ture and sent down from Albany ten
days ago. which was designed to break
the water meter monopoly by placing
the authority for approving meters In
the hands OF the engineers of the De-
partment of Water Supply instead or the
Board of Aldermen was attacked yes
terday by William S. Cetti, the sales
manager of the Milwaukee concern
which since 1919 has tried unsuccess-
fully to get its product on the local
market.
In a statement made following the
disclosures of the water meter grab
brought out by the Lockwood committee
Mayor Hylan said that he disapproved
the Legislatures bill because 1t would
place the arbitrary approval of meters
in the hands of one man.
This, says Mr.. Cetti, who was in the
first instance responsible for the intro
duction of the legislation, is not the case.
The measure Mayor Hylan vetoed. he
explained, provided that meters that
We're to be put on the New York market
should first pass an endurance test and
be certified to by the engineers of the
Water Department, who in turn would
submit their recommendations, as ex-
perts, to the chief engineer. III the case
of an adverse report provision is made
for a review of the findings of the engi-
neers, Mr.. Cetti said.
Il I'm that way" Mr.. Cetu explained,
"the people of the city are protected
against undue charges and the city is
protected in the matter of payment for
service by the opinions of technical men
who know what a water meter is. and
how it should function.
Neither William +. Kenneally nor
William T. Collins. the Aldermen whose
names were brought into the testimony
Inst week as being instrumental In
Keeping the lines of the alleged meter
monopoly closely drawn, gave any in
dication yesterday whether they would
appear before the Investigating COM
mittee on Tuesday to make a state
ment. Samuel Untermyer, volunteer
counsel for the committee, was at his
home at Greystone and would not COM
nent on the committee developments.
1t became known, however. that the
newly organized legislative committee
that is to investigate the city depart
ments is taking a keen interest in the
latest phase of the Lockwood commit
tees work.

AIR TRAVEL POSSIBLE
Major Wehrle Speaks at G. of C. on
A. L. Flying Circus.

aerial navigation has reached a
stage which few of the people of the
United States realize. Regular mail
routes, passenger routes and express
routes have been inaugurated, and are
proceeding every day." Major Howard
F. Wehrle, of Kansas City, told the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce at noon today.
Major Wehrle was one of the first
twenty-five men to be accepted for
training in air-fighting when the
United States entered the war with
Germany, and served thruout the war
on one side or the other of the At
lantic.
He spoke to the members of the
Chamber of Commerce today to call
their attention to the progress which
has been made in the development of
flying craft, and to call their attention
to the flying circus which is to be held
next month in connection with the
national convention of the American
Legion in Kansas City.
Major Wehrle issued a wholesale in
vitations to the TOpekans to attend
the flying circus and see the latest
types of planes and the full repertoire
of stunts of the travelling men.
"a. K Longren is better known in
the east for his part in the develop
ment of flying in the United States
than he is known here at Topeka,
believe" Major Wehrle declared.
You people have the science of aero
nautics right here in your midst but
you don't fully realize what a part
Longren is taking in this infant in

JOB PARLEY SPLIT
Labor Delegates at UnemplOy-
ment Conference Disagree.
Adjournment Taken After Final
Report Made!

Washington. oct. 13.-Without at
tempt to reconcile the divergent views
of the manufacturing and labor inter
ests over the causes of unemployment
and the present economic depression,
President Harding's national confer
ence on unemployment finally ad-
journed here at noon today
The only reported action upon the
conference as a whole was the report
of the advisory committee, submitted
some days ago, which placed the bur
den of solving the problem upon the
communities and cities concerned.
No attempt was made to debate the
controversial report of the committee
on Misunderstanding majority of
which recommended the abolition o.
the railway labor board and the re-
peal of the Adamson eight hour law
on the railroads-or the minority re-
port submitted by the labor delegates.
The two reports were merely present
ed to the conference without COM
ment.
The conference voted to have Sec
retary Hoover appoint a standing
committee on unemployment, which
can be recalled to Washington for
counsel and advice in the discretion
of Hoover.
The majority of the manufacturers
committee held that by the transfer
board to the interstate commerce COM
mission, opportunity would be given
for the reduction of operative ex-
penses to be Immediately reflected in
the decreased cost of transportation"
Want Eight-HOur Law Repealed.
The repeal of the eight-hour law,
the committee declared would be an
initial step in the reduction of arti-
ficial and uneconomic cost imposed on
the shining public by law.
Passage of the so-called $5OO,OOO,-
600 railroad funding bill was urged by
the committee on transportation.
Opposition to the reduction OF
wages, the repeal of the Adamson
eight-hour law, abolition of the rail-
way labor board and 'the granting
of vast sums of money to railroad op-
erations' was voiced in a minority re-
port from the manufacturers com
mittee presented to the conference by
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor.
A report submitted to the confer
ence by the powerful committee on
manufacturing contained recommen-
dations of a drastic nature, including
the total abolition of the railway Ia
Dor board and the transfer of its pow
ers to the interstate commerce com
mission; the repeal of the Adamson
(railway) act and the settlement or
the governments obligations to the
railways.
The labor members of the commit
tee-SamueI Gonpers. Mrs. Sara
Conboy and Roy ckerson-refused
to subscribe to the report and will
submit a minority report.

MANY DIPHTHERIA CASES
Another Warning Issued by DIR. Earle
G. Brown.

Another Warning Issued by DIR. Earle
G. Brown
"If it takes statistics to prove it to
the people that were having a real,
dangerous epidemic of diphtheria in
Topeka, here they are,' said DR.. Earle
G. Brown, city health officer, today.
"One hundred and eighteen cases were
reported for the first twelve days of
October A total of 322 cases have
been reported since the epidemic
started on August 10. About one
third of the total number of cases has,
therefore. been reported in the twelve
days of this month
Seven deaths, or 2 per cent NOR
tality, have occurred.
The above report does not include
the rs carriers of diphtheria germs
who have been detected and isolated.
The bacteriology department, under
the direction of Harry Berger, has
completed the diagnosis of 10S cuI-
from pupils in Central Park school a
few days ago. Two carriers were
found in the los examinations. The
balance will be finished tomorrow.
The majority of cases are now COM
ing from the west side of the city.
Fifty-four cases are reported from
the. west part of the city, thirty on
the east and thirty on the north sides.
The east and north sides led the
epidemic during August and Sep
tember.
Twenty-six adults have the disease.
The balance of the cases are children.
1--WE are fortunate in having the
maj ajority of our cases light" said Doc
tor Brown. Some towns over the
state have been dealing with heavy, or
severe cases, but Topeka has for the
ma jority. had only the less severe
type of the disease"
Doctor Brown insists the above
doesn't mean that the cases can't turn
into severe ones, however. He warns
all Topekans that they might have the
disease and not know it.
Several cultures that we have taken
from supposedly well people, have re-
vealed symptoms of the disease" he
