his position makes it necessary

CONVENTION NOTES

y coat belonging to the Rev. B E.
Realms. of Leavenworth, disappeared
from his tent Thursday night. After
n thoro search of the camp this morn
ing. the coat, unchanged, was found
hanging or one of the telephone poles.
A light shower early this morning
threw the campers, who were housed
in tents, into confusion. Tent stakes
were frightened, side flaps tied down.
and all cots were moved away from
the tent sides. The storm was soon
over, tho. and no damage was done to
the roads and paths thru the camp.
The Rev. H. L. Price, of waukomis,
Okla, who is in charge of the camp
commissary department. estimated
that 600 meals were served daily in the
camp dining hall. Food consumed in
the dining hall each day includes 200
pounds of beef, five bushels of pota-
bread, fifteen gallons of milk, forty
gallons of iced tea, thirty gallons of
coffee.- The large refrigerator and
cold storage room receives seven hun
dred pounds of ice each day.
About 500 Sunday visitors are ex-
pcctcd at the camp. There are now
morc than 1000 regular enrollments.
G. w. Cummickle, who drives a jit-
ney from the end of the car line to
Forest park, carries about 120 per-
sons daily. Cummickle estimates that
about 500 of those attending the camp
came in their own cars.
The electric motor which pumps
the water from the camp well into the
storage tank refused to work early
this morning and the water supply in
the storage tank soPn became ex-
hausted.' The Rev. c. F. Erffmeyer,
Who is in charge of the water supply.
announced late this morning that
there would no danger of water short
age in the camp since water can be
drawn from the well in buckets if the
pump cannot be fixed,

ceives and distributes from fifty to

NEW HOTEL SERVES MEALS
No Sleeping Accommodations Avail
able in Hotel Topeka.

The prospect of an up-to-date hotel
at Seventh and Jackson streets grows
brighter. In fact the hotel is far
enough toward completion that
meals are now being served the1e, tho
there are as yet no sleeping aecom-
lmOdationS available.
A delicatessen and lunch room has
been opened in one of the buildings
on the proposed site of the hotel by
Dick johnson. johnson runs a home
cooked food emporium, and puts out
good food, too.
He denied today that he is the
lessee of the eating room privileges
in the new hotel or that he is even
in charge of the dining room. Neither
is he the chef of the Hotel Topeka,
he said, but has rented the quarters
which he occupies.
You see, they're going to build a
hotel here sometime" he said. so
they wouldn't lease me the place, but
I've rented it by the month, and I'm
not expecting to have to hunt a new
location for some little time" -
But there is a good opportunity for
individuals and parties to arrange for
feeds in the dining room of the new
Hotel Topeka at reasonable prices.
Most of the rest of the buildings
and apartments on the site of the new
hotel are occupied and various bust
nesses are under way there at the
present time.

MUST CONTINUE TRAIN SERVICE
Writ Issued by Supreme Court Direct.
ing Frisco 10 Operate Trains.

Justice John Marshall, for the SUI
preme court, issued an alternative
writ of mandamus late Friday even
ing directing the Frisco railroad to
continue its train service in Kansas
pending final hearing. A similar writ
may be sought against the Missouri
Pacific, which. has served notice that
it Intends to withdraw four trains
from service. =
The writ was issued against the
Frisco railroad under the law COM
polling railroads to secure permission
of the public utilities commission be-
fore canceling or changing its service
and schedules. The Frisco had with
drawn six trains without authority
from the utilities commission. The
case before the supreme court will
test the right of a carrier to cancel it's
trains even in an emergency without
a forma hearing before the state
commission.
A coal shortage was responsible for
action of the Frisco in caflceling its
six trains, according to statements by
railroad officials. 1t withdrew trains
on it's own motion when the utilities
commission announced that authority
wouldt be given only on a heating
showing that an emergency existed.
