MORE ONE-MAN STREET CARS
p. U. c. Approves Plan To Put Ten
New Cars in Service.

Ten new one man Birney cars are
to be placed in service by the Topeka
Street Railway company. The cars
will be used N addition TO present
equipment and will probably be in
service by October Is.
Some time ago The State Journal
announced a plan by Albert NJ. Pat
ten, general manager of the Topeka
Railway company, to provide addi-
tional equipment for the Topeka sys-
tenn. The public utilities commission
has approved an issue of $66.792.96
in investment trust notes to meet new
equipment expense for Topeka. An
application for approval of securities
for the Wichita system has not been
acted uon because the Wichita line is
not under jurisdiction of the commits
sion.
1t is probable that several of the
new cars will be placed on the Hun
toon-Washburn and state hospital
lines. The new cars will increase the
service equipment of the topeka COM
pany to sixty-seven closed cars and
thirty open cars or trailers.

the Whites, the former preparing to
take the city of Vladivostok as soon
as it is evacuated by the japanese
Spaask is about to fall to the Chita
forces, these advices stated.
Thoro Investigation has revealed
that press charges that the general
staff in Siberia disposed of a large
quantity of arms to the Dietrichs gov
ernment in Vladivostok and to Chang
Tso-Lin, Chinese war lord, are sub
stantially correct and may result in
cabinet crisis.
The government today admitted
that arms entrusted to the care of the
Japanese in Vladivostok, when the
cho-Slova khan forces evacuated ST.
IBERIA have disappeared, having been
sold to Chang -Tso-Lin for 10000, 600
yen. The government will pay Czecho-
SloVakia and a movement has already
begun to court martial the Siberian

would constitute proof of a breach of

The acceptance of responsibility in
the arms scandal is believed here to

Kansas Federation of Labor To Meet
in Emporfa Saturday.

The American Federation of Labor
has agreed to assist the Kansas State
Federation of Labor in the present
campaign by supplying speakers who
will go into action at once. This was
the announcement here today of w. E.
Freeman, president of the Kansas
Federation, just before his departure
for Emporia, where a state meeting
of Kansas labor unions will be held
at Labor hall tomorrow.
Three speakers furnished by the
national federation are now on their
way to Kansas and will meet with
the delegates tomorrow, Mr.. Freeman
said. They are John Fitzpatrick, Chi
cago, national organizer of the A. E.
of L., and a nationally Known labor
leader; Edward F. McGrady, Wash
ington.- legislative supervisor Of the A.
F. of L., and Miss Anna Neary, a ma
tional federation lecturer,
The principal business before the
Emporia meeting, Mr.. Freeman said
will be selection of a slate of candi-
dates on state and congressional
tickets. This lineup, President Free
man emphasized, will be on q non
partisan basis. 1t will depend mainly
en-the attitude of the candidate to-
wards the Industrial court act. -.
The main attack of the labor forces
will be centered on the Kansas indus
trial court act with a view to its re-
peal, and to prevent congress from
enacting any similar national legisia-
ton, according to Freeman. Stand
on reduction of taxes and the indi-
vidual candidates attitude towards
labor unions as evidenced by his pub
lie record also will be taken into con-
sideration. Each legislative district
will be expected to organize similarly.
About 160 delegates are expected to
attend the Emporia meeting, which
will be jointly under supervision of the
state labor federation and it's po1itical
subsidiary, the Kansas Federation OF
Nonpartisan Voters.

some blunt instrument and then un-
locked the door. The house was thoro-
ly ransacked but the robbers got
