10 new STREET CARS ORDERED
VIII Be in Operation by Topeka Rail-
way Company October L.

The Topeka Railway company has
ordered ten additional B.rney safety
cars to be delivered and placed in
operation by October l, Albert Patten,
manager of the company, announced
today.
The specifications which were for
warded to the American Car company
at st. Louis this week, call for cars
of identically the same size and type
as the eight which the company pur-
chased about eighteen months ago,
and which are in operation on the
Country club and Washburn- -Huntoon
lines.
These cars. Mr.. Patten says. have
proven highly satisfactory. Besides
being handled by one man, which
means reduction in operating ex-
penses, the cars are fast and very COM
Portable to ride in. Hence the order
for ten more.
Just where the new cars will be
used has not been determined, but it
is understood that a portion of them
will replace the larger cars on the
Washburn-State hospital line.
The company has also received a
shipment of 137-pound steel rail
which will be laid on Kansas avenue,
between Sixth and Eighth avenues, in
July.

of political manipulations were gone.
Hereafter. he asserted, the men will

HAVANA PAPERS ARE BITTER.
United States Is Accused of Having
"Sinister Purpose in Cuba"

Havana, June 22.-La Nacion, an
afternoon newspaper. today launched
another bitter attack against the
United States. The attack printed on
the first page under a seven column
head declares that Hatred of the
Americans must be our new religion"
The newspaper asserts that graft
tude for American cooperation dur
ing the last years of the revolution
against Spain, which would have been
won anyway, has blinded Cuba to the
sinister motives of the United States
which only intervened to obtain con-
troll of the island.
The newspapers attacks follow the
recent cabinet reconstruction and ac-
cused the Washington government of
imposing the reform ca binet on Presi-
dent ZayaS.

MOTORIST MUMBLINGS

Topeka's mammoth building pro-
gram in the residence sections has
created a traffic condition that must
not be overlooked.
Contractors have been grasping the
privileges granted them IN the use of
streets and parkings for material to
such an extent that they have nearly
blocked many streets. especially in the
southwestern part of the city.
Piles of sand. rock. cement. shin
giles and other materials are dumped
in lazy and careless manner and II is
almost impossible for two cars to pass.
Also. the condition creates a hazard
Gus playground for children who
dodge out into the street.
Not only do the contractors create
traffic and danger hazard but they
have not been cleaning pavements of
crushed rock used on concrete. and
motor car tires have been punished
as a result. Topeka plumbers have
been careless. too. in not repairing
holes cut in the pavement for water
and gas connections.
Topeka is enjoying her building
boom but there is no reason why the
contractors should take possession of
the streets.

Governor Allen today asked for OBJ
servance of Patriots Hour-a period
for new voters who have become OF
age or thru naturalization-when
Kansas towns stage their Fourth of
July celebrations. The plea has the
endorsement of the state federation
OF women's clubs and is promoted
with a view of building a more loyal
and patriotic citizenship.
In q special proclamation asking
for observance of Patriots Hour,
Governor Allen said:
For one hundred and forty years
July Fourth has been the nations
natal day and its general celebration
has been the occasion each year of
a new conservation to the ideals that
gave the nation its birth. That the
day this year may be fittingly OBJ
served, call attenention TO it in Kan
sas and ask that Patriots Hour be
recognized in all the programs of the
day.
The central thought for this hour
is to give attention TO all who have
become voters by having become OF
age or thru naturalization during the
year ending July 4. 1922. This can
be done by addresses and other cere-
monies. Thru this plan added signifi-
canoe is given to the National Birth
day by recognizing it also as a Civic
Birthday. The plan has the endorse
ment OF the Kansas Federated Wo-
mems clubs and I am glad to give il
my hearty approval. believing il will
build up that spirit of virile Amer
canism, making of many peoples one
people with one purpose and one flag"
