Must Halt Public Debt.

''Many Of us belong to that school OF
thought which is hesitant about altering
the fundamental law. I think our tax
problems. the tendency OF wealth to seek
nontaxable Investment and the menacing
increase of public debt, federal, state and
municipal. all justify proposal to change
the constitution so as to end the issue of
nontaXable bonds. No action can change
the status of the many billions outstand-
ing but we can guard against future en-
enlargement of capitals paralysis. while
a halt in the growth Of public indebtedness
would be beneficial turnout our whole
land.
such a charge in the constitution must
be thoroly considered before submission
I suggest the consideration because the
drift of wealth iRto neDtaxable securities
is hindering the flow Of large capital to
our industry manufacturing, agricultural
and carrying until we are discouragiDg

JENNINGS FIRED SHOT?
COroncr's Jury May Find Cause of
Death of Mrs. Jane Williams.

That a shot fired by Joe Jennings
$50 North Tyler street, caused the
death of Mrs. Jane Simms Williams,
%, of 2215 Union avenue, may be the
verdict of the coroner's jury Wednes-
day, which will hear details of the
shooting in which Mrs. Williams was
killed and six men wounded at Jen-
nings's home Sunday morning.
A bullet from a $3.50 revolver,
which officers say was the kind of
gun Jennings carried, was found in
Mrs. Williams's body when H. L.
Clark, county coroner. performed an
autopsy Monday night. Jennings. who
was charged by the police with run
ming gambling house and released On
bond, will be picked up today, Sheriff
Robert Miller stated. O. c. Bryant,
alleged to be the other principal in
the shooting, is in the county jail, to-
gcther with Chester Irwin. another
negro who was present at the crap
game and who was arrested in Waka-
rusa Sunday night.
The coroner's jury was empaneled
this morning and after viewing the
body, took recess until o'clock

Less Chance Every Day OF a
Smallpox Epidemic.
ONLY ONE CASE IN QUARANTINE
No Reports of Black Variety
From Over the City.
Unusually Large Number of
"Takes," Doctors Say.

DR.. Earle G. Brown, city health Of
ficer, believes that a very conservative
estimate of the number or persons
who have been vaccinated in Topeka
in the last three weeks, would be
1,O0e. DR.. Brown is including the vac
cinations at the city health depart
ment clinic, and by practicing physi-
clans thruout the city. The vaccina-
tions at the city offices are nearing
the 1000 mark for the week just past,
and there is no noticeable diminution
in the number of people appearing
with the request that they be vac
cinated.
This makes at least IA per cent of
the population of the city who have
been rendered immune to smallpox"
Doctor Brown said this morning. If
the people viii only keep this up, we
can laugh at smallpox But it all de-
ponds on their keeping it up. The
people who have already been vac
cinated are the people who are the
most exposed to the disease, and there
is no doubt whatever that the vac
cinations are the things which have
saved us this far in the game"
81 can't help but regard it as re-
markable-the fact that IA per cent
of the people of the city have volun-
tarily come up here or gone to their
doctors for vaccination" Robert D.
McGiffert, city health commissioner,
said this morning. McGiffert pointed
out that smallpox has appeared in
other sections of the state, and that
in more than one city compulsory vac
cination has been resorted to.
One Case Here Now.
There is but one case Of smallpox
now under quarantine in Topeka, and
that case is nearly ready for release,
Doctor Brown said tn 5 morning. All
three cases have been mild cases, not
the dreaded black smallpox which
has raVaged Kansas City with a death
rate of more than One-third of the
cases.
There is developing a considerable
amount of chickenpoX at the present
time. TT is practically in the cpl
demic stage now" Doctor Brown said
this morning. But it usually is never
fatal The only reason we are worry
ing about the chickenpoX is because il
could be confused by a layman with
the mild Smallpox. If it is chicken
DOX and not smallpox we don't worry.
But we are carefully investigating ev-
cry case Of chickenpOx to make sure"
An unusually high percentage of
successful vaccinations is being Sc
cured by the city health department. !
we had take Monday on a wo-
man who had been vaccinated nine
previous times. without securing q |
take Doctor Brown said today.
The reason given by Doctor Brown |
for the large number of "takesA is /
he fresh, pure virus which j. being |
distributed, and the favorable weather |
conditions for its shipment and stor-
age.

TURKEYS come
BY PARCEL POST
Local Office Handles Three
Tons of Thanksgiving
Poultry
BUY OTHER
SUPPLIES AWAY

More than three tons of poultry
and other perdshabie products for
the Thanksgiving Day dinner, were
received at the local postoffice, this
morning. from points down the
peninsula, more than doubling the
parcel post shipments for the cor
responding day in any previous
year.
So that there should be no un-
necessary delay in delivery. Post
master English put on two additional
motor trucks.
Since the addition OF the motor
truck service last summer, the
shipments OF perishable products
direct to the consumer. from the
grower has shown a remarkable in
crease at the local office. as they are
now able to make quick deliveries.
One reason for the growth OF this
service, II was pointed out this
morning, is that the consumer, in
many cases, can save money and get
fresher products.
For instance, one man within the
past week purchased one gallon OF
Chincoteague oysters from a firm in
Franklin City. Va They came in a
gallon can and we're solid meat The
cost for the oysters was $3.50 and
the parcel post charge was 10 cents.
The same quantity and grade OF oy-
sters here cost over SO. The oysters
left Franklin city on the early morn
mg train and were delivered to the
purchaser here early in the after
noon.
Another resident purchased a
barrel Of sweet potatoes In Acco-
mac colnty. Va, had them shipped
in half bushei baskets by parcel
post and the same were delivered Al
his front door at a considerably
lower price than he could have pur-
chased the same in King street mar
ket.

HARDING CUTS OFF
MEDICINAL BEER

WASHINGTON. Nov. % Omitted
Press) President Harding today
signed the Campbeli-Willis bill.
which puts at an end the manufac-
ture and sale of medicinal beer.
The medicinal beer relations were
promulgated about a month and a
total of II breweries were granted
permits to manufacture the pre-
prohibition article. Secretary Mel
Ion will now issue the ruling with
drawing the beer regulations
An attack on the constitutionality
Of the Campbeli-Willis bill may be
made. Several OF the brewers hold
that Congress infringed on the con-
stitution in barring the manufacture
and sale of medical beer.
