TO CLOSE ELMDALE CAMP
Lack of Swimming Hole Takes Joy
Out of Boys Lives.

Out of Boys Lives.
The Topeka Rotary club has been
instrumental in sending fifteen boys
from Topeka who are unable to pay
their own expenses, to Camp Wood,
the state Y. M c. A. camp at Elmdale.
Kan. The boys will be gone ten days.
The camp will be closed at the con-
clusion of the ten-day session which
begins today. The artificial lake that
served the camp for a swimming pool
has dried up, owing to the lack of rain,
and the Cottonwood river which could
have been USED for swimming by the
boys has for some days been covered
with film of oil flowing down from
the oil field at Florence. While there
are other diversions at the camp, the
swimming pool was one of the great
est attractions and was perhaps the
greatest source of entertainment for
the boys. Engineers will be put to
work at once on the problem of obtain
ing water for swimming purposes, ac-
cording to A. A. Remington. state sec
rotary of the Y. M. c. A. The camps
will be continued again next summer.

Special Session of Congress Has
Done Very Little.
More Wrangling and New De-
lays Now Expected.
SOLDIERS PUT OFF
Adjusted Compensation for Vet
Grams Will Be Delayed.
Settlement of Allied Debts Must
Come First.

Washington, June 25.-The legisia-
tive record of the special session OF
congress is now in the balance. COM
gressmen admitted today. The fate
of many pieces of important legisIa-
ton is uncertain and unless change
of sentiment occurs. more wrangling
and new delays will develop, it was in
Dictated.
The special session was called for
the main purpose of declaring peace
with Germany and of revising the rev-
enue and tariff laws. Altho the per-
manent tariff bill probably will be
completed by the house ways and
means committee next week. there Is
this measure be shunted and the new
taxes passed thru congress. This,
however, is causing a serious dispute
between the two houses.
st am unalterably opposed to this
plan," Chairman Fordney OF the house
ways and means committee, said today.
Nearly three months have been de-
voted to the framing of the tariff bill
and it would be a big mistake to cast
1t aside now. I feel sure such action
will not be taken"
Bonus Bill Must Wait.
Unexpected obstacles to the vet-
Grams adjusted compensation bill have
arisen which senate leaders declared
today may delay passage of the meas
uIS 1pT several mOntnS.
Republican leaders were reticent IN
discussing the change in the legisla-
tive program Several senators simply
said it was deemed unwise to push the
legislation at this time.
Settlement of the refunding of the
allied war debts to the country is said
to be one of the obstacles in the way
of the so-called bonus bill.
1t is expected by Senator McCum-
Der OF North Dakota, who is handling
the bill in the senate, and other adyo-
Gates, that funds for paying the vet
Grams compensa ton which would net
begin until after July, 1922. would be
loan.
The unexpected attack of Senator
Borah on the bonus bill is also said to
have some bearing on the change in
plans. If the bill were pressed at this
time, leaders fear that continued at
tack might do much to make the leg
islation unpopular with the country.
While the president has taken NJ
definite position on the legislation, he
is said to favor the plan of compen-
sating the war veterans.
Three Big Bills Up.
1t is generally admitted that the
tariff bill will not reach the senate be-
fore August /. Then Chairman Pen-
rose. Pennsylvania, proposes to con-
two months, he has stated. The house
will not consider a revenue bill until
after the tariff is passed. and with
continued hot weather, the demand
for a recess is growing.
Final agreement may come next
which have been in dispute for many
weeks. These are the peace resoiu-
lions and the army and navy appro-
priation bills.

DISCUSS PARKING ORDINANCE
Merchants Association Makes Sugges-
lions Regarding New Rules.

The plan of extending the parking
ordinance in contemplation by the
city commission was discussed at an
informal conference this morning.
Members of the Merchants asso-
citation and others have suggested to
the commissioners that it would be
well to have the ordinance forbid the
parking of cars for more than sixty
minutes on Kansas avenue from
Fourth to Tenth avenues, inclusive,
and in addition to cover the side
streets. east and west, on Fifth, Sixth,
Seventh and Eighth, to Quincy and
Jackson streets. These suggestions
cover more territory than the ordi-
nance as originally considered.
Mayor Corwine stated following the
conference that the ordinance would
probably be passed at the next meet
ing of the city commission, Tuesday,
in the extended form which has been
recommended.
