which increased thirty cents.
Raised 10 Per Cent by Commission.
Had the original figures of the
county officers been allowed to stand,

WILL GO TO SUPREME COURT
State Perfects Its Appeal in Corwin'
Custer Case.


The state today perfected its ap-
peal of the Corwine case to the su-
prene court. The action which was
taken by the attorney generals office
seeks to set aside findings of the
Shawnee county. district court in
favor of Mayor Herbert j. Corwine of
Topeka during recent custer proceed
ings.
Court determination of the Corwine
case was strongly in favor of Mayor
Corwine. Numerous charges to the
effect that he possessed knowledge of
and was a party to Illegal acts by the
police and police judge and that he
failed to report violations of the
liquor laws formed the basis for the
custer suit. Following a heated trial
the district court exonerated the may
OF on every Issue except that he had
failed to obey technical provision of
the statutes directing him to make
certain reports regarding liquor
prosecutions by the city.
It is likely that the custer appeal
viii be submitted to the supreme
court some time next winter.
