This car has been an important factor in
establishing the present day tendency to
drive all winter.
The close fitting curtains provide ample
protection against wind and cold. The
safety-tread cord tires minimize szidding
and reduce tirerouble to its simplest terms.
And every owner appreciates the remark

responds quickly and quietly in the cold

BEGIN A BOULEVARD PLAN
Bids for Paving West Eighth Avenue
To Be Opened October 10.

First steps toward making West
Eighth avenue a boulevard were taken
today when the city commission grant
ed permission for the Topeka. Street
Railway company to proceed with the
asphalt paving which has been talked
of for some time.
The commission authorized the ad-
vertising for bids The bids are to
be opened after 10 o'clock on the
morning of October 8. it was decided
by the members of the commission.
The strip to be paved is theseenter
of the street on West Eighth, from
to the end of the former car line,
West Eighth avenue The paving will
be asphalt and has been approved by
the city engineer.
The expense of the paving will not
affect the residents of West Eighth, for
the street railway company must bear
all the expense. When the car tracks
were permitted to be removed by the
commission, it was with the under
standing that the expense of paving
would be borne by the railway COM
pany.
Bids submitted must be accom-
panied by a check for 5000, it was
decided by the commission.
Permission to restrip West Eighth
which is to be done by the railway
company also was granted by the
commission. This work is to be done
by the street department. The strip
ping on West Eighth avenue has been
badly damaged by the heavy trucks
going over it, and this has necessitated
the restripping.

ATTITUDE OF U. S. IS GIVEN

Territorial Questions.
Hope Conference Will Bring
About Final Peace.

Washington, Sept. 26-The un-
equivocal approval by the Washington
government of allied proposals to in
sure freedom of the DardaneIles and
the Bosphorous, and also to protect
racial and religious minorities in
Turkish territories involved in the
present near eastern situation, was ex-
pressed by Secretary Hughes today in
reply to an inquiry addressed to him
by the Associated Press.
The question submitted sought to
ascertain 'the attitude of the govern
ment of the United States toward the
proposals made by. the allies to the
Turkish nationalist authorities" Mr.
Hughes declined to comment on the
territorial questions raised, but made
clear the attitude of the admfnistra-
stion on the other points involved.
In Accord With U. S. Sentiment
1.-The American government is graf
flied" said Mr.. Hughes, Ito observe
that the proposaltof the three allied
governments seeks to insure effective
ly the liberty of the Dardanelles, the
Sea of Marmora and the Bosphorous
as well as protection of racial and re-
ligious minorities.' THESE points OF
the proposal are clearly in accord
with American sentiment.
This government also trusts that
suitable arrangement may be agreed
upon in the interest of peace to pre-
serve the freedom of the straits pend
ing the conference to conclude final
treaty of peace between Turkey
Greece and the allieS'

BODY MAY Be ExHUMED
Authorities Want to Know How Many
Times Mrs. Mills Was Shot.

New Brunswick. N. J.. Sept. 26.-
The body of Mrs. Elanore Mills. shot
to death while keeping a supposedly
love tryst with the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall, rector of the church of
ST. John the Evangelist. will be ex-
humed and examined for evidence that
may throw light on the tragedy, it was
indicated today by A. M. Beekman,
prosecutor of Somerset county.
Conflicting statements as to the
number of bullet wounds in Mrs Mills
body afford one reason for eXhuming
the corpse. DR.. w. E. Long, coroner's
physician, claims only one bullet en-
tered the body. Other physicians said
they found three or four.
The fact Dr.. Hall was shot from
ambush and that an interval elapsed
before the Staying of Mrs. Mills has
been virtually established by the au-
thorities Apparent confirmation of
this fact has strengthened the belief
of investigators that a woman either
was the actual slayer or accompanied
the man who did the killing.
