HEAVY VOTE HERE
Striking ShOpmen Cast Their
Ballots Early Today.
In Some Precincts Voting Was
Light During Forenoon.
is LIGHTER ON WEST SIDE
In This District Ballots Will Be
Cast Late.
Call Sent to Clerk for More Re-
publican Ballots.
IS LIGHTER ON WEST SIDE

Voting in the primary election in
Topeka this forenoon and early this
afternoon was as splotchy and varie-
gated as the campaigns have been.
The ballot cast early in the day
ranged from very light to heavier
than it ever has been before, in diff
ferent precincts.
One factor which brought this
about was the vote of the striking
shopmen in the east side precincts.
Having nothing better to do. the shop
men have been voting and voting
early.
In the sixth precinct of the Sec
ond ward. there were 123 votes cast
before noon. OF that number at least
110 were Republican tickets-and that
precinct voted three to one Demo-
cratic at the last general election.
Shopmen Vote Early.
The fact that the shopmen are off
duty means that the votes in those
precincts will be early and heavy. Just
ward had balloted as follows: fourth
precinct, seventy-four; seventh pre-
cinct, fifty-nine; third precinct, 112;
eighth precinct, fifty. All of these
figures are high for the precincts in
question, at that time of day.
On the contrary, on the west side of
Kansas avenue, the vote has been
rather lighter than usual during the
morning and noon hours. This is ex-
planned by the fact that most of the
stores and offices are closing at 8
o'clock or $50 o'clock, giving the en-
pIoyes time to do their voting after
the days work, whereas when the
stores closed at o'clock, the en-
ployes voted during the noon hour.
At the first precinct of the Third
ward, the vote at O'Clock this after
noon was 145 out of a registration OF
5S7; at the second precinct of the
Third ward, the vote was 128 at the
same time; at the fifth precinct of the
Second ward the vote was 135, about
20 of the registration.
Light Vote in Fourth Ward.
At the Provident association, the
second precinct of the Fourth ward,
the vote was 110, rather light, out of
registration of 4S6.
AT the Central Congregational
church, where the votes of the sixth
precinct of the Third ward were being
cast, there had been cast 247 votes
out of a registration of $40 at 2
O'Clock.
At 1920 Kansas avenue. always a
late voting precinct. the second of the
Fifth ward, there had been cast 119
votes out of registration of between
400 and 500.
In most of the precincts the voting
thus far has been more or less a mas
Culine prerogative, and the men vot-
ing have outnumbered the women. 1t
is believed that the bulk of the fe-
male vote was cast during the fore
noon and early morning. and that
there are many men to come in later
in the day.
The ballots called for have been
overwhelmingly Republican in every
precinct of every ward. Several calls
for more Republican ballots were sent
to the county clerk before noon today.

WRECK KILLS Ten
Twenty-Five Injured Also, in
Crash Near Cincinnati.
C. L. s. N. Passenger Trains Go.
Head on at Crossing.

Cincinnati. Aug. 1.-Ten persons
were killed and twenty-five injured
more or less seriously at II o'clock
this morning, when two Cincinnati
Lebanon & Northern passenger trains
crashed together head-on at the Lester
road crossing in Pleasantridge. One
of the engines was driven backwards,
telescoping the first coach behind it
and killing everyone inside.
All available fire apparatus in the
city has been rushed to the scene as
well as police patrols and hospital
ambulances from all the hospitals.
Fifty private automobiles are also on
the scene assisting in the rescue work.
Doctors from all over Cincinnati are
rushing to the spot.
There were five passenger coaches
in one train and two in the other, but
only one car telescoped when the
crash came. This coach crumbled like
match box and the occupants were
caught in the wreck which presented
an almost hopeless tangle to rescue
workers.
It is thought that the engineers and
firemen of the two engines were killed
in the collision, tho Information at
this time regarding them was not
available

ASKS PAY FOR TAR SUIT
Former EmpIoye OF Chicago &
Alton Says the Road Will Have
to pay $4,000 to Get his "Suir'
Cleaned.

Kansas City Mo, Aug. 1.-The Chi
cago & Alton railroad was today the
defendant in one of the most unusual
damage actions ever filed against
railroad.
1t is in the nature of a little bill
for $40, 900 which Clifford KeiI would
collect for tar and sundry feathers
which were applied to Keil while he
was working as strikebreaker in the
shops at Slater. No.
Keil charges in his petition that the
railroad guaranteed him a safe place
to work and good treatment when he
took the job in the shops. According
to -Keil. however, the railroad was
grossly negligent and even careless.
He was taken out of the shops by two
men, he alleged, striped from the
waist down, tarred and feathered, and
then brought to this city and photo
graphed. He received IS from an
agent of the railroad to remove the
tar and feathers he asserts.

given a big responsibility in Washing
ton affairs. His acceptance of the
Secretary Hoover is for a temporary
period to serve during absence of AS
sistant Secretary Houston
Recently Assistant Secretary Hous-
ton visited Topeka on his way to
Alaska. He was leaving on a trip
around the world to be absent nearly
a year While in Topeka he was
guest at the MuIvane home. His par
ticular mission to Kansas, however, is
reported to have been to present a
request from Secretary Hoover that
Mulvane fill the vacancy in the cabi-
net department during Houston's alb
senee. Mulvane declined to leave the
state during the primary campaign
and is going to Washington this week
with plans to return for the party
council and to devote at least a mon/

Personal Friend of Hoover.
Mr.. Mulvane has been on terms of
close personal friendship with both
Secretary Hoover and Assistant Secre-
tary Houston during their service in
The department of commerce. During
the last fifteen months the Kansas
national committeeman has been in
Washington a considerable portion Of
the time. He was for several months
I'M charge of Republican national
headqua rters during the absence of
Chairman Adams. 1t is now likely
that he will be called upon to devote
consid era BILE time to service in the de-
partment of commerce during the next
few months. He has told personal
friends that he expects to return to
the state some time this fall.
Mulvane is one. of the half dozen
most prominent members of the ma
rianal Committee. For number OF
years he has not only been a big fac
tor in Kansas state politics. but in ma
tionaI affairs. He was one of the
dozen men in the conference in Chi
cago during the Republican national
convention two years ago when plans
were laid for the nomination of Presi-
dent Harding after preliminary ballots
had shown a probable deadlock.
