EVA. LAMBERT TO LEAVE
Queen of Bottoms Will Bid Good
bye to Topeka Soon.

Topeka will bid Eva Lambert, alias
Eva Verify, known as queen of the
bottoms" goodby within the next day
or two, according to a decision handed
down Friday by Judge Paul Heinz in
the court of Topeka. In the mean
time, ]. H. Lambertson, negro night
jailer at the county Jail, is looking for
a new job.
1t all came about because chester
Hatton, negro, now being held in the
county Jail pending sentence to
Hutchinson for disposing of a mort
gagged automobile, is, one of Evas adj
mlrers. Sheriff Robert Miller became
suspicious that all was not just right
in regard to Hatton. So Thursday
night he instituted a little private de-
tective work. After a long vigil he
saw Hatton, who was supposed to be
securely behind the bars, walk out OF
the Jail door and cross the street. 1t
was midnight. The negro walked
back and forth, apparently watching
for someone.
-. Presently she appeared. At that
time Sheriff Miller did not know who
it was, but he seized them both. It
turned out to be the Lambert woman
Miller took them both to Jail, and then
swore out a warrant charging her with
having immoral relations with Hatton.
Investigation, according to. Sheriff
Miller, revealed that this was the sec
ond midnight tryst that Lambertson
had allowed Hatton to keep with Mrs.
Verify outside the Jail. On another
occasion she had gone inside, the Of
ficers said.
Lambertson was discharged imme-
diately. In the court of Topeka Mrs.
Verify pleaded guilty to the charge
and was fined 500 and costs, making
total of $111.35. She paid it But
the most drastic part of it was that
Judge Heinz handed her an ultimatum
that she should either leave the city
for good or go to the womeh's farm
at Lansing for six months. Eva chose
the former course, and Judge Heinz
gave her q reasonable time to sell her
property and straighten UP her affairs

NAY GET PURSUIT SQUADRON
Topeka in Line for Flying Corps of
United States Army.

Topeka may have a pursuit squad
ron of the flying corps of the United
States army, according to E. N. sun
derland assistant secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce. The aviation
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce has answered a government
questionable regarding the establish
ment of a squadron here and the army
officers have received the matter
favorably.
The squadron would be part OF
the reserve units of the flying corps
being established over the country.
1t is planned to establish one in Kan
sas in the near future as part of the
twelfth aero district. The district ad-
jutant with headquarters at Omaha
is also favorable to the move of estab-
fishing the squadron at Topeka.
The squadron would mean the bring
ing Of eight or ten army planes to
Topeka, the construction of hangers,
and the bringing of pilots. and me-
chanics. Two of the essentials for the
securing the squadron is the leasing
of a landing field to the government
without cost and having number of
experienced aviators residing in the
city.
The members of the aviation COM
mittee who are attempting to bring
the squadron to Topeka are: Harry
Buff, Jack Kritzer, Harry lines, w. d.
wallace, E. N. Sunderland. They have
been appointed deputy sheriffs to
police the municipal landing field.

BOOKS WILL CLOSE FRIDAY
Topekans Have Not Taken Oppor-
tunity to Register at Night.

Persons living in districts taken into
the city during the last year must reg
lister in order to vote at the primary
election August 1, according to Miss
Eta Covell, city clerk. Only a few
persons from such territories have
registered.
There are a number of candidates
for precinct committeeman who will
not be eligible, says Miss Covell. Some
have failed to register for the election
since they have moved and others
have moved since July 1, which auto
matically bars them from voting.
Voters must have lived in the same
ward for at least thirty days before
the election in order to vote
Miss Covell states that little appre-
citation is shown the registration
clerks for keeping the books open at
nights. They do not register at that
time.
The registration books close at 10
o'clock Friday night, July 81.

WATSON FEARS CAR FAMINE
Highway Engineer Warns State Road
Builders to Prepare.

Builders to Prepare.
Fearing that an end to the present
nationwide coal strike might bring
about an embargo on railroad cars of
in transporting coal, State Highway
Engineer NJ. w. Watson has issued a
warning to all federal aid road con-
tractors in the state urging them TO
lay in large supplies of materials in
order that, in event such a car short
age should occur, road work will not
be halted.
Following is a copy of Mr.. Watson's
letter to the contractors:
ALLOW me to call your attention to
the conditions existing with regard to
rail shipments of materials. Indica-
tons from reports submitted by the
United States bureau of public roads
very clearly show that there is danger
of a, car shortage on the termination
of the coal strike. Were it not for the
coal strike at the present time, there
would be a car shortage Considerable
pressure will probably be brought to
bear as soon as the coal strike is over
to restrict the use of open top cars to
the shipment of coal In view of this
situation, we would suggest that all
contractors make preparations to Sc
cure and store as large a reserve sup
ply of road building materials as they
realize the difficulty we have had in
the past when a car shortage existed.
and I hope you will take advantage
of an advance warning"
Ia supporting his contention that
termination of the coal strike prob
ably will bring about car shortage,
Mr.. Watson produced figures COM
piled by the American Railway asso-
citation, showing that in March, 1922,
just before the strike began, the to-
tai surplus. of all kinds of cars in the
country was only 100000, approxi-
mately 7s. 600 of which were open top
cars He compared these figures with
IA total surplus in March, 1921, of
100000 of all kinds of cars, about half
of which We're coal and otner open top
styles. Even since the coal strike
began, Mr.. Watson sad. the total sur
plus for the country has reached only
$4,000. about 100000 of which are
open tops. The surplus in October.
last year, he said, dropped to rs, 900
for all kinds of cars, 80, 900 of which
were open, and sit is reasonable to
assume that the great demand for
coal cars which naturally will follow
the ending of the coal strike will soon
eat up the comparatively small sur
plus available at this time
