REPORT IS PROBED
Concerning CIOrine
in Water Is Investigated.
CITY Commissioner Receives
Letter From State Board.

Recent publication by a morning
newspaper of an article under the
headline "Most Sickness in Topeka
Can Be Blamed on Chlorine in City
Water, Says Washburn Professor" has
resulted in much correspondence be-
tween the officers of the city health
department and those of the state
board of health.
THE headline of the article is mis-
leading" Robert D. McGiffert, city
health commissioner, stated today,
after thoroly reviewing the letters OIL
the state board of health members
with whom he has been in consulta-
ton since the publication of the
article.
The statements made by Prof.
Sarah L. Doubt, of the meteorological
department of Washburn, and quoted
in the articles, do not bear out the
headline nor the interpretations of the
writer of the article"
McGiffert pointed out that the
amount of chlorine which is placed in
the city water of Topeka. is regulated
by the state board of health, and pre-
scribed by them.
No Ill Effects From Water.
A statement is in possession of Nc
Giffert that in order to undergo the
slightest effect from the chlorine i'll
the city water. at the present rate of
chlorination. it would be necessary to
drink at least forty gallons a day for
a long continued period. The average
consumption of water for drinking is
about one quart day for each person.
ITO get any kick out of the chic
rine," McGiffert said today, "a To
pekan would have to increase his ca
pacity for drinking about $50 times.
A paragraph from the state board
CT health officers letter says: 'I do
not know of any evidence that drink
chlorine, is harmful. A great excess
of chlorine would probably be noticed
rby an individual and the water read
lily recognized as unfit for use"
The impression gained from the ar
ticle that the chlorination of the city
water removes all bacteria therefrom
is erroneous. Professor Doubt is
quoted as saying 1.-The water is so
heavily chlorinated that it will not
support bacterial life. We have to
distill it before we can use it in the
meteorological laboratory"
There still! remain a few forms of
archaeological life in the water after
chlorSGNtion. Every archaeological
laboratory. or chemical laboratory,
uses distilled water in running tests
and determinations.
The absence of all bacteria from
the water does not mean that it is I'M
safe to drink because of their alb
sence. The state board of health calls
attention to the fact that many people
drink distilled water. absolutely ster-
lie. and water from deep wells. which
shows smaller meteorological count

TO BUILD new SCHOOL
Board of Education To Discuss Plans
for Boswell Building.


The city board of education will hold
meeting February to decide on the
special specifications for the new Bos-
well street school building.
Following the completion of the
plans for the building, bids for the
erection of the structure will be re-
ceived. Work on the new building will
begin in March, according to present
plans. II is expected to have the
building ready for occupancy by the
opening of the fall term of school in
September.
1t is not known at the present time
whether or not a junior high school
will be inaugurated in the school next
fall. However, it has been definitely
decided that there will be classes i'll
the first eight grades. In c@se junior
high school is esta blished it may
necessitate the discontinuance of the
seventh and eighth grades in the Cen
trail Park and Lowman Hill schools.
The gymnasium and assembly room
of the structure will be available for
community meetings and meetings of
similar nature. The entrances to the
building may be arranged so that class
rooms may be shut off from the as
sembly hall and gymnasium when
meetings are in progress.
Plans-are also under consideration
to have the rooms sound -deadened'
so that meetings may be held in the
gymnasium and assembly hall al the
same time without interruption.

JUDGE HIGGINS UNDER FIRE
Anti Industrial Court Forces Faced
Him at Unitarian Church.

Him at Unitarian Church.
Features OF the industrial court law
furnished subject matter for one of
the warmest debates staged by the
Laymen's League of the First Uni
tartan church when the league held
Sunday night session. Judge w. L.
Higgins, presiding judge OF the labor
court and c. J. Evans. Topeka lawyer,
staged the main debate with Judge
Higgins defending provisions of the
court act.
In his opening speech Judge Hug
gins outlined provisions of the indus
trial court. He won strong support
in his opening speech. But he didn't
hold it all until the close of the meet
ing.
Evans speech tore a hole in en-
forcement of the labor court act. He
pointed to strikes in the state and de-
clared the court had failed to fune-
ton in settling strike trouble. Many
friends of organized Ia bor-bitterIy
opposed to the industrial court meas
ure-were in the audience. But they
were entirely pleased with the line of
the Evans talk.
Judge Higgins urged that the pub
lie owed labor the right to earn a de-
cent living. Evans replied that labor
needed to work more rather than less
in meeting present day conditions.
AeIe WAS a CTOSS IRE Ol questions
for the speakers when the audience
was given chance for general dis
cussion. Most of the questions were
dire cted at Judge Higgins in his de-
Tense of the new court law.
Col. John S. Dean presided at the
meeting. Colonel Dean wrote a brief
for the state supreme court declaring
the Kansas law unconstitutional. He
is now interested in presentation of
constitutional questions before the
United States supreme court. His hos
tility toward action of the court and
provisions of the court law permitting
regulation of private industry have
been clearly pronounced. He took no
action in the debate.
Speeches of Judge Higgins and
Evans were made in open forum.
There was no decision as to the merits
of the issues presented.
In the discussion of the industrial
court law following the formal
speeches, questions We're asked by w.
4 Bush. T. A. McNealt and others. All
were directed at Judge Higgins.
George B. Snow attended the meet
ing. He wanted to talk, but Colonel
Dean saw him first.

The statement that the result of

the article but not a direct quotation
from Professor Doubt. 1t is pointed
out that there has nc. been an cpl

ing the past three years which has not
been present either thruout the state
or turnout the entire United States,
