MOTORIST MUMBLINGS

One of Topeka's prettiest show
places and one of the most popular
resorts in summer is the Country club.
Yet to reach the Country club it is
necessary to plow thru one of the
worst dust holes" near Topeka.
From the end of the paving on Lin
coin street to the Country club en-
trance and along the Shunganunga
creek bottom" the dust is so thick
that at times it is impossible for a
motorist to see two car lengths
ahead.
This road is supposed to be of mac
adam but when it isn't too rough for
travel it is too dusty for comfort.
Out of town visitors have been car
ried thru this cloud to the Country
club and have emerged in too en-
barrassing an appearance to attend
the club affairs
The road also is a main route to
sections and towns south and south
west of the city.
Motor car taxes are paid-and paid
Hberally-to keep up such road.
The city and county are Jointly re-
spOnsible for so disgracefuI a con-
dition. The stretch is not more than
six blocks in length and by all means
should be maintained properly and
oiled.

Attorney General Plans Cam
paign Against ''Bucket Shops"
Is Result of Action Taken
Against Hutchinson Firms.
WAS ADVISED LAST FEBRUARY
Information Sent to Hopkins by
Cawker City Man.
May Find One in Each County
Seat, He Wrote.

Reports were in circulation in the
state house here today to the effect
that the office of Attorney General R.
]. Hopkins might in the near future
begin a campaign against the opera
ton of grain bucket shops" in Kan
sas. These reports were based on the
statement that the attorney general
had been working with the county at
torney of Reno county, w. H. Bur-
nett, who has gotten out a court in
junction closing the wire service cf
five Hutchinson grain concerns which
it is claimed were operating as bucket
shops.
Also, it was learned today that the
attorney general as early as last Feb
ruary was advised that bucket shops
were operating in Kansas. However.
apparently. he was too busy with his
many other interests to take action on
complaints until action was begun in
Reno county.
Letter Was Received in February.
Last February a letter was sent to
Hopkins by a man at Cawker City
which said:
"A lot of men have been speculat-
ing in wheat futures all thru northern
Kansas, or especially north central
Kansas. You may find a bucket shop
at each county seat town"
This information which came into
the hands of J. c. Mohler, secretary of
the state board of agriculture, was
transmitted to Hopkins, but the latter
took no action except to advise Mohler
of the Kansas laws prohibiting buck
ct shops and of the places these laws
could be found in the statute books.
Now, however, it is said that Hop
kins is dipping into the Hutchinson
raid against grain firms and that he
may undertake a statewide campaign
against the grain firms that operate
market quotation boards and that re-
cefve private wire reports on which
grain futures are bought and sold
without deliveries being made.
Law Not Enforced.
It is said that the Kansas laws
against the operation of so-called
bucket shops have not been enforced
strictly because it had been held that
dealing in wire transa ctions on the
Chicago and Kansas City boards of
actions that the state laws could not
control. However, under a recent
court decision it was held that such
transa ctions were in reality intrastate
transa ctions, and if this should be the
case they would come under the state
laws
Would Aid County Attorney.
In Hutchinson where five grain
firms have been placed under a re-
stra1ning order, the telegraph COM
panieS furnishing the wire service also
have been enjoined from furnishing
such service.
Attorney General Hopkins said to-
day that he had offered to aid the
county attorney of Reno county in
any way he could.

WHO is GREATEST HERO?
Governor Allen Asked To Desig-
nate Greatest World War Hero
Living in Kansas-Matter Now
in Hands of American Legion

Who is the greatest hero of the
World war living in Kansas
Governor Henry J. Allen today was
asked to designate this individual for
the living hall of fame at the San
Francisco convention of the Disabled
Veterans of the World war
The governor, being unwilling to
make a designation upon his own
judgment turned the matter over to
the state headquarters of the Ameri-
can Legion. However, since State
Adjutant Samuels has already stated
that he believed the Kansas Legion
members were not in sympathy with
the designating of a greatest hero,
Kansas may not be represented at the
Frisco convention.
A number of states. il is said, are
designating their greatest hero and
sending him to the Frisco convention
with all expenses paid.

SALE OF TICKETS TAGGING
Baseball Booster Day Effort May Be
Only a Partial Success.

While the indications are that the
largest crowd of the season will turn
out to see the ball game between To-
peka and BartleSville this afternoon
those in charge of the booster day
ticket sale were somewhat disap-
pointed when an attempt was made
to check the sale at noon today
With several reports missing at that
time, the indications were that the
advance sale would not go over 1000
tickets Further sales this afternoon
and the rush at the gate may run the
total to $500, but it had been hoped
that the advance sale would reach at
least 5000, and the goal was 5000.
The full result of the booster day
effort, however, will not be known
until Friday evening as the tickets are
good for either day and neither game
will be called until Sis o'clock. Mar
shalfs band will play at the game this
afternoon but there will be no parade.
