Vienna. Sept. 21.-Stephen Fried

rived at Oedenburg, Burgenland, on
Monday and proclaimed West Hun
gary a republic, it is declared by news
papers here.
Burgenland was recently in the
hands of insurgent Hungarian bands,
but they were believed to have with
drawn, for the most part, as a result
of representations by allied authorities.
Assertion is made here, however,
that these bands have been constantly
reinforced until their members are
now nearly 10000 in number. and it
is said the men are so we'll armed and
equipped that it is doubtful if Hun
garian regular soldiers sent to GUST
them, would be able to cope with
them.

STATE BANK CALL
VIII Give Information Regard
ing Financial Conditions.
Material Increase Expected in
Deposits Over June Report.

State banks have been called upon
for a statement as to their condition
at the close of business Friday. Sep
TENDER 16. The call is the first is
sued by F. H. Foster, state bank COM
missioner, since June 80, when a call
was male by the state department in
conjunction with one to national banks
by the federal comptroller of currency.
Bankers and persons who keep a
the state will watch for the coQnbined
report of state banks for last week
1t will be the first authoritative evil
dence of changing financial conditions
in Kansas during the ten weeks
Increase Expected Over June Report.
There is a general feeling that the
report for September will show a ma
terial increase in deposits as m
pared with June 80. Since the June
call millions of bushels of wheat have
been sold and borrowers generally
have been able to reduce the amounts
of their leans. The Improvement in
financial affairs of the state will thus
be reflected as much thru the reduc-
ton in loans and discounts as in the
increase in deposits.
While Kansas has marketed a large
portion of her crops in the last few
weeks, the former war prices have not
prevailed and in many instances banks
have reported that farmers were un-
able to clean up outstanding indebted
ness. The effect of low farm prices
is reflected in the general bushes con-
ditiOnS of the state.

SANTA FE SUES K. c., KAN.
Railroad Charges That Paving Costs
Are Too High.

The Santa Fe railway company has
brought an action in federal court at
this place against the mayor and city
commission of Kansas City, Kansas,
seeking to enjoin the city from levy
ing against the company's property
there for certain paving costs, charg-
ing that the assessments are too high.
The paving in question is that on
Metropolitan avenue from Twelfth to
Seventeenth streets. a distance of five
blocks. Auditing the avenue on the
south is the Santa Fe's right-of-way
while individuals own the property on
the north side. The cost of paving the
five blocks is s33,413 and must be
borne by the adjoining property.
In its petition, the Santa Fe charges
that its property is assessed at $1,000
per acre and for $22,730 of the cost
of the paving, while the property on
the north side owned by individuals is
assessed at $500 per acre and is
charged up with only $1O,683 of the
paving costs. The company charges
that the assessments are discrimina
tory. that it is entitled to equal protec-
ton under the law. and seeks an order
to prevent the city from making a
levy according to the present assess
ment figures.

Chicago, Sept. 21,-Chief of Police
Charles Fitzmorris is preparing today
for a vigorous fight from the sentence
of five days in jail and 800 fine i'm
posed upon him by Judge Joseph
David for contempt of court. Judge
David found the chief was in con-
tempt because of statements made re-
garding the case of Carl Wanderer,
twice convicted murderer, while an in
sanity hearing for Wanderer was being
held in Judge David's court.
Judge David granted stay of COM

Hike Before Convention.

Indianapolis, Sept. 21.-Not only
will the United Mine Workers resist
all attempts to slash miners wages
under the present agreement expiring
early in 1922. but they will fight for
an increase when that agreement ex-
pires. Philip Murray, vice president of
the miners union, asseted in his re-
port to the biennial convention of the
organization here today.
The miners will take this stand in
the face of the big wage cuts accepted
by practically every other labor or

cause Murray said, for four years the
annual earnings of the mine workers
have been considerably lower than
those of men engaged in other lines
of industry"

SIX PLANS FOR new SCHOOL
Action on Building at Thirteenth and
Boswell Is DELAYED.


Six architects have submitted plans
to the board of education for the pro-
posed school building to be erected at
Boswell avenue, according to A. J..
Stout, superintendent of schools. The
board was to have met tonight, but
the meeting has been indefinitely
postponed. J. H. Mills, chairman OF
the building committee. has been
called to California on account of ILL
ness in the family. In the meantime.
the other members of the board will
review the plans.
Due to the increase in the number
of diphtheria cases, another school
nurse, Mrs. Edith D. Womer, has
been engaged. Heretofore, one nurse
has had to cover North Topeka and
the eastern section of the city where
the largest number OF cases are re-
ported, and the service was made
quate, it is said. Fifty pupils were
sent home Tuesday because of sore
threats and other symptoms of diph-
iberia and scarlet fever. Under the
ruling of the board of health. any
pupil with a temperature of 99.5 de-
grees must be sent home. Upon re-
entering school, the pupils must OBJ
tain a health certificate from the city
board of health.
Superintendent Stout announced
two changes in the teaching staff of
the ward schools. Miss Katherine
Taylor will take the place left vacant
by Addie Wilkinson. Miss Rose Ran
kin will be unable to teach the fall
term. Miss Mildred Lewis, who has
been substituting for her. will fill the
vacancy until Miss Rankin returns.

WILL Be NO CIRCUS PARADE
RingIing-Barnum Shows So Big Now
No Room for Street Features.

NO hOOm 1Or street EEaIuTcSs
Topeka youngsters will see no cir
Gus parade next Friday.
The circus people state they are
should not be judged harshly, for
present conditions have forced the
abandonment, temporarily. at least, of
this time-honored institution.
Outside of a special parade staged
in New York city during the Madison
Square Garden engagement a S [
spring, not a single parade has been
given this season. In fact. all of the
parade equipment, such as wagons,
floats, decorations and costumes are
stored in winter quarters at Bridge
port, Conn.
Topeka is not being Disseminated
against in the matter of a parade
said one of the circus agents this
morning. THE show this season, ow-
ing to its increased size. has been
forced to cut out this feature entirely.
Even with all the parade equipment
left out, the circus is using more cars
than ever before"
and Barnum & Bailey show has
added a large number of trained wild
animal groups, imported from Eu-
rope. Some fifteen additional cars
are required to transport the animal
cages and paraphernalia used in pre-
senting these acts, including three
steel arenas, each forty-two feet II.
diameter. Our circus now is carried
on, in round numbers, about 100 cars.
These are all over sixty feet in length.
There is not enough railroad room
in many cities to store the cars and
there is considerable trouble in the
disposition of same from day to day.
We cannot increase the number of
cars-we have reached the limit in
point of size. and we cannot haul the
show as it now is to the show
grounds, get it in shape to make a
street parade, and still be able to
open the doors at anything near the
advertised hour in the afternoon.
