A SUCCESSFUL MIDNINTER
This Years Show EXEC DIS Records fol-
All Other Years.

The 1922 Midwinter exposition has
exceeded the records of the EXPOSE
tions of past years, John A Worley,
manager, declared today.
In comparison with previous exposi-
tons the one which closes tonight has
been highly successful. and encourages
the members of Local Council No. AZ,
United Commercial Travellers, in their
plan for the exposition of next year.
The reservation of the city audi
torium for January Is to February 8,
1923, has already been made. Elk
hibitors who have had their displays
in the booths at this years exposition
are also making reservations for space
next year with Worley.
Several of the exhibitors have given
to Morley signed testimonials of their
confidence in the value of the exhi-
bition, and all are satisfied with the
results which they have attained.
AS a finishing touch to the vaude-
Vile bill for the exposition, Miss Adele
Foster, 1884 Tyler street danced for
the crowds Friday night, and viii ap-
pear on the last bill of the exposition,
tonight.
Il think there is no doubt that the
exposition will show a financial
profit" Worley said today. THE profit,
if there be any. will be turned in to
the charity fund of the U. c. T. We
may use some of it in taking band
with US to the next meeting of the
Grand Council of the State. in Hutch

LATE MARKETS
GRAIN MARKET REPORT.

tPDTudEN T. H..
The wheat market the past week seems
to have been able to get out of the rut
in which it has been for several months.
There was more pep to the market the
last two or three days of the week than
it has shown at any time. The advance on
the May delivery shows just about cents
which has all come in the last three days
of the week. July option. however. failed
to respond and shows about cents adj
vance. Several reasons for the advance
seem to be given but the most Ioglcal IN
our opinion is the fact that Liverpool and
Buenos Ayres markets have both advanced
and this would naturally be reflected in
our market Argentine and Australia
which are now shipping wheat to Europe
both have fairly large exportable surpl!m pits
f eft to with export OFy e s ang at o'p all
4fp days offerings Of Wheat to Europe
were from cents to 10 cents less than
offerings from North America but due to
an advance is ocean freight rates, these
cents to 4 cents above American prices
This would naturally lead to an advance
in the advance is the fact that there is no
Improvement whatever in the southwestern
crop conditions. Rain and snow which was
fOrecasted for the past week failed TO ma
terialize in any great extent and the whole
southwest shows clear weather now with
no moisture in sight. The government con
dition report issued in December showed
condition of about G0If for Kansas wheat
and while this is considered very low yet
in the past 60 days that the next report
issued cannot help but show an even worse
condition. Cash prices have about follow
ed the advance in futures, altho. receipts
have kept up very well, averaging about
200 cars per day in Kansas City.
Milers report no improvement in flour
demand during the week and as a result
they have been slow TO meet the advance
in cash values Mills in this locality and
in surrounding milling centers have not
been free buyers Of wheat but sales have
been mostly to SO calle' outside mills.
The corn market has not followed the
advance in wheat and shows only about ]
cent advance against the cent advance
in the wheat prices Receipts of corn. also,
have kent up and have been fully ample to
supply all existing demand A good many
traders look for some increase in receipts
during this month owing to the fact that
many tenants Will need to move before
March /, and, also. land owners Will be
required to make both principal and in
terest payments March I. 1t would look
reasonable to believe that II we are going
to see any real movement of corr It VIII
have to come during the next 80 days.

TO TEST KAW RIVER WATER
Investigations Being Made by State
Board West From Lawrence.

Surveys and water tests are being
made along the Kaw river and its
tributaries by the engineering depart
ment of the state board of health. The
surveys are for the purpose of deter
mining water pollution as a result of
sewage drainage into the rivers. The
investigation extends west from Law
renee along the Kaw, Smoky Hill, Blue
and Saline river valleys.
1t is probable that as a result of
Investigations now under way that
mandatory action may be taken by the
state board to compel a number of
towns to install sewer treating plants.
The present unusually low stage of the
Kaw river has increased danger to
public health thru pollution of the
streams, DIR. S. J. Crum bine, secretary
of the state board of health, declares.
Topeka, Lawrence and other cities are
now using water from the river, altho
Lawrence has recently installed a fill
tration plant and a similar plant in
Topeka will be completed soon.
Kansas City also uses river water.
But it is taken from the Missouri river.
The intake in Kansas City is also above
the point where the Kaw river empties
into the Missouri.
A large number of towns including
Manhattan, Junction City Abilene,
Salina and smaller towns use streams
IN the affected district for sewer
drainage Inc state law a11ecllng
pollution of streams is rigid. 1t places
full power in the state board of health
to enforce orders affecting the dis
position of sewerage. Recently the
engineering department of the state
board has made preliminary surveys
in number of towns. Some of the
reports are not at all favorable to
continuance of the present drainage
systems As a result the towns face
heavy expense items in caring for
sewage
1.-The present low stage of the Kaw
and its tributaries calls for action to
safeguard public health said Doctor
Crumbine. Our surveys are being
made from Lawrence west with a view
of protecting the cities which are COM
PEELED to use river water

toned fights he had had on his vari-
Gus trips to the Klondike.
He had led a most eVentful life,
and he told me on one occasion of be-
ing in a village in the far north when
it was scourged by smallpox. He
went about, nursing the inhabitants,
including a priest. The epidemic was
a severe one and practically every one
was stricken or had fled to escape the
pest
Finally Mr.. Taylor and the priest,
I think were the only two left The
priest fell a victim and Mr. Taylor
nursed him back to health. Then Mr..
Taylor caught the disease and after
a hard battle the priest nursed him
back to health, as Mr.. Taylor had
done for the priest.
In spite of this experience, he
often 1onged for the far north and
he used to talk about it in the rests
between scenes in pictures. He told

from Alaska.
He often spoke of his mother, then
in London, and his little daughter
He always termed the latter a child
and was planning to bring her to Los
Angeles. 1t was my understanding
his former wife was living in New
York. 1 always assumed he was di-
vOrced for had he not been he would
not, I believe, have asked me to
marry him we were engaged Tor
some time but broke off the match
two years ago when he concluded we
were not suited to each other.
This terrible affair is all the more
mysterious because it was a common
saying among the studio and in
Hollywood generally that Taylor had
not an enemy in the world.
He may have made an enemy in
the past who nursed a grudge thru the
years which finally resulted in this
murder, but he never gave the slight
est indication to me of having any
foe"
Denver Friend Speaks Up.
Denver, Feb. A Denver news
paper man who visited Taylor last
year in Los Angeles recalled last night
that Taylor had related to a party of
friends at his studio that he was born
in Ireland, left home to follow the
stage and finally came to America
when Is years old. According to the
newspaper writer, Taylor said he went
first to Harper, Kan.
/ Later he returned to his home,
4 where his father, upon receiving a
promise from young Taylor that he
would not follow the stage, gave Tay-
lor a college education. Judge Ben B.
Lindsey of the Denver juvenile court,
who played a principal role in a
motion picture Taylor directed, said
/ last night Taylor had told him while
directing the picture, that he had
spent several years in Colorado as a
mining engineer and prospectOr.

Herbert Hoover in the federal railroad
rate hearing, Mr.. Reed stating in be-
half of state commissions that there

which was 4 of all the securities

new TAXI LAW NOT ENFORCED
City Commission Will Await Outcome
of Application for Injunction.

City Commission VIII Await Outcome
of Application for Injunction.
With the city ordinance requiring
the installation of taximeters on taxi
cabs theoretically in force, the actual
enforcement of the ordinance will be
permitted to ride along until it is
seen what the prospects of the appli-
cation for an injunction are, it was
stated today in an informal discussion
in the city commission meeting.
Not a surety pond or a certificate
of insurance came before the commits
sion for approval this morning The
Certificate" which was submitted by
Roy Payne, proprietor of the Yellow
Cab company, was not what the COM
mission wanted, City Attorney Ralph
T. O'Nen declared.
Certificate of Insurance as used
in the ordinance, means the same
thing as insurance policy" O'Neil
said. The commission wants the actual
policies issued. or the bond furnished
by the owners. for their approval.
The general sentiment of the COM
mission was that it was as well to wait
until it is seen what becomes of the
application for a temporary restrain
ing order against the ordinance. be-
fore involving the police power to en-
force it, and having the taXi-cab men
who have not filed their bonds or GER
/ tificates, arrested for non-compli-
ance with the ordinance.
TaXicab owners were notified Thurs
! day by the police to present their
bonds or certificates for approval this
morning. but none of them did So
No licenses may be issued until the
bonds have been approved.
Ed Rooney, attorney for the taxi
cab men who are applying for the
injunction, stated that he was ready
TO go ahead and fight for the injunc-
ton, a any time.
! 1t was stated at the police station
/ this afternoon that no orders to en-
| force the taXi-meter ordinance had
| been issued.
