nOTORIST MUMBLINGS

Topeka motorists are becoming
careless in recognition of the traffic
rules regarding the passing of cars.
High powered motors and quick
acceleration has tempted drivers to
slip up behind other cars and pass
them without the customary signal of
the horn.
As a result there have been many
side-swiped motor cars sent to the re-
pair shops and human life has been
endangered.
In the old days when driver could
hear another car approaching because
of the deafening rattle and noise Of
the motor and tenders and springs
there was little need of a horn.
Quiet, powerful motors and cars now
may approach without warning and If
the driver ahead decides to take a
turn he courts an accid ent.
Passing a car at a street intersec-
ton is a most serious violation of traf-
fic regulations 1t is dangerous not
only to the violator and the occupants
of the car ahead but to motorists
/ coming on cross streets. It is con-
fusing also to pedestrians and ex-
poses them to direct danger.
II motorists would heed the speed
limits within the city there would be
little reason for one car passing an
other but this seems to be out of the
/ question There aren't enough mo
tOrcycle poIice-nor will there ever
I be-to catch such law avoiders.
The best rule to follow is to signal
before passing q car and never go by
another at a street intersection.

Tax Levy in Topeka Slightly
Less Than Last Year.
TOpekans Will Spend S5,567
More for Taxes in 1922.
RATE S1O.11 PER THOUSAND
Increased Valuation RespOn-
sible for Decrease in Levy.
No Hike in Expenditures for
Police and Fire Departments.

TOpekans will eXpend $5,567 more
for taxes this year than last year or
total of $763,1 ,170. but the amount of
! taxes paid by the average person will
be smaller this year as a result of the
budget passed upon by the city COM
mission this morning. The tax levy
will be $10.11 per $1,000 valuation as
! compared with $1Q.63 last year. or a
decrease OF fifty-two cents per $1,000.
The $4,216,29S increase in the valua-
ton of the city was largely responsible
for the reduced levy.
No More for Fire or Police.
| The request of Mayor H. ]. Corwine
for an increased budget in the fire
department was not granted by the
commission. This department was
granted a budget of $110,6S5 or the
same as last year. The commission
also failed to hear the plea. of Mayor
Corwine for an increased police bud
get. A small increase of 1910 was
granted, which will give this depart
ment a budget of $91.142.
Topekans will receive the benefit OF
better reading facilities. The budget
for the library was raised nearly SO
per cent and will be $15,550. This
will enable library officials to replace
/ old books and also add a number of
new ones. Mayor Corwine also asked
for an additional 81, 900 for the library
but the request was not granted.
Same for Street Department.
BY careful figuring Commissioner
w. S. Hancock discovered a method
! by which he would not be forced to
! increase expenditures in the street
department. The budget of $135,734
for last year will be continued. Out
of his budget Commissioner Hancock
expects to conduct a drainage survey
| of Topeka, and expend several thou
sand dollars for equipment for the as
phalt plant.
| More money will be expended for
/ living conditions of the citizens The
park budget was raised $2,1OS and
! will be $37.743. For health $1s.635
year but the budget of the food in
! spection department was increased
$1,42O. The budget of the Public
Health Nursing association was in
creased $500 and will be $14.e44.
/ More for Music.
| Topeka will also attempt to raise
her position in the musical world. The
/ creased over 100 per cent and will be
Sara. This is still low compared
with other first class cities Of Kansas
it was pointed out. Wichita and Sa-
lima spend $4,000 each for music and
Hutchinson expends $40. 300.
The special funds for sinking funds
were reduced $4,000. Less money will
be spent in the upkeep of public build
ings. Only $13,O5o will be expended
This a reduction of $4,000 as compared
with last year.
Less for Electric Lights.
The expenditures for electric light
ing will be reduced from $37.OO6 tC
$33,458 or e reduction of $3,54S. The
| increased indebtedness of the city de
! partment will cause the budget of the
department to increase from $4S, ,384
| to $54.451.20.

DENIES A SHEA Statement
Santa Fe EmpIoye Wires Capper En-
gines Not in Bad Shape.

Newton, Aug. 15.-C. F. Fein, an
airbrake machinist, twenty-one years
in the service of the Santa Fe railroad,
today wired Senator Arthur Capper as
follows:
Il notice the following statement
in the newspaper from Timothy
Shea, acting president of the B. of l..
E. under a Cleveland date: Seventy
thousand giant locomotives totter on
the verge of destruction, daily imperii-
ing thousands of lives. Danger turks
in virtually every locomotive boiler in
the country
81 hope you will take this matter
up with congress and put a stop to this
kind of misleading statements that we
all know to be lies of the vilest kind.
This kind of work not only casts
a slur on the men that are trying to
keep transportation going, but also
on the government that has inspectors
all over the country inspecting loco
motives. I am sure if you will look up
their report since July I, you will find
a correct report of the conditions OF
the locomotives in service.

PRICE or COAL GOING up
Operators Break Away From Price
Agreement, Hoover Says.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Virtually all
the producing coal operators in the
country have broken away from the
fair price agreement they maze
some weeks ago and now are getting
prices for their coal far IN excess of
the erstwhile fair price scale.
This fact was officially admitted to-
day by Secretary of Commerce Hoov-
er, who said it would be necessary FOR
congress to enact legislation to pre-
vent rampant profiteering.
Washington, Aug. 15.-The action
of certain railroads in confiscating
coal which is being moved under pri-
ority orders OF equal or higher class
than coal for road fuel, was dem
ounced today by the interstate COM
merce commission.
This practice is not consistent with
the spirit of the service orders of the
commission and tends to defeat the
efforts now being made to insure the
most efficient distribution of coal"
the commission said.
All railroads were ordered to refrain
from confiscating coal in violation of
the service orders.

new GAS CASE UP
Local Company Asks for 20
Year Franchise Here.
Plan improvements on Topeka
Property to Cost $4,000.

The members of the city commits
sion will hold an adjourned session at
4 o'clock this afternoon to consider an
ordinance to grant the Consumers
new twenty year franchise to enable
the company to furnish natural gas
to the citizens of Topeka.
The company is now operating un-
der three distinct franchises. One.
which the company secured when it
purchased the Continental Oil and
Gas company, will expire in August,
1928. A second grants all the privi-
leges given in the franchise of the
present company and that of the old
Continental company. The third
which was secured by the purchase of
the Excelsior Coke and Gas company
permits the company to sell artificial
gas for ten more years.
In his talk before the commission,
Doran stated that the company would
make no voluntary reduction in rates
as il was in the hands of receiver and
that he thought the company was JUS
titled in applying for higher rates.
L. F. Doran, attorney for the Con-
sumers company, appeared before the
regular meeting of the commission
this morning and explained the COM
pany's request for a new ordinance.
He stated that if the new charter was
granted improvements amounting to
$4,000 would be made in the COM
pany's property and approxima tely
four miles of new gas mains would
be laid. He also stated the federal
court had granted the company per-
mission to use money in the deprecia-
ton fund OF the company for this pur-
pose. It is out of the question to at
tempt to supply artificial gas as the
installing of necessary equipment
would be too expensive. Doran stated
He also said that the company would
lay mains in all parts of the city that
are not now served by the company

Chicago. Aug. 15.-Ruins of an
ancient city of great size, hitherto
unknown, have been uncovered in
Colombia by the South American
archaeological expedition of the Field
Museum of Natural History, Chicago,
working under the leadership of Dr.
]. A. Mason. The ruins of the city or
collection of villages are in a portion
of Colombia that is now uninhabiteo
and almost unknown to science. 1t IS
evident the museum announced to-
day, that this was once one OF the
great centers of population of the
world, but today even its name is un-
known.
The finds to date indicate that in
ancient times the country was densely
inhabited by settled agricultural tribes
who were mi-civilized. They were
expert builders and possessed great
skill in the working of gold and pre-
cious stones.
Mr.. Mason sent the following mes
sage regarding the discoveries he has
made thus far:

dous population here at one time, as

the country is covered with house
sites. The region is very mountain
Gus, and the houses, which were of
wood, were built on terraces made
with retaining walls In the center
of each terrace there are entering
steps of beautifully cut stone.
"On the side of almost every house
there can still be found the grinding
slab, on which the family ground its
corn. In all the houses we have found
quantities of broken pottery. mostly
fragments of large undecorated jars." 3"
The ancient inhabitants of this
country decorated themselves with
gold ornaments and buried these with
their dead. The early Spaniards are
known to have taken fabulous guam
titles of gold from the ancient graves,
and the further work of the expedi-
tion should bring to light many OBJ
jects of value and interest, it was said.
Specimens already received at the
museum include gold bells, small,
beautifully made gold figures and or
narnents of shell and agate The most
valuable acquisition is a complete set
of ornaments worn by native priests
in the performance of their religious
duties.
