A hutfirrotion for the Hoard of 1Publio Yorks to Consider To The Star: Before an epidemic has a chance to break out in Kansas City why not take every step to prevent it and flush the sewers? Nothing that the public money can be used for is of so greaat importance as the public health Every catch basin in the city owing to the continued drought is to-day sending out a foul smell a menace to its neighborhood Diphtheria signs are one by one appearing more frequently upon the door posts and every precaution should be taken to stamp out the disease immediately The vicinity of the public Schools ought to be the first to receive attention IL of the board of public works! have said they would consider authorizing' the fire department to flush the sewers Ire-1 quently Chief Trickett says he will detail! men for the work if the board shall authorize him to do The disagreeable odors from the sewers are said to arise front the faulty construe- tion of the old style catch basins that retain a certain quantity of water and other 1 deposits after they are flushed and stagmtion follows New catch basins are being installed that carry everything into the sewers There are 7000 catch basins in the city and little headway has been made in replacing Clem with the new style ACet 'S OF A MISSOURI MURDER Voir0 Sareh for Robert Salomon STLIOuiti Oct 3o---Robert Sassainan a

the nos publienn Candidate noto iin With Authority to Speak" Assured film Joints Would He 1rt Aisne LEAVENWORTH KAS Oct ao--Tbere is a belief all over the state that the joint-keepers have been given quiet assurance that in case Governor Hoch is re-elected the existing conditions as to the non-enforcement of the prohibition law will not be disturbed It now develops that this belief has become a certainty and is vouched for by as reputable 3 citizen as Taylor of Leavenworth who is making a house-tohouse campaign for Governor Hoch saying that he is authorized to say that the election of Governor Hoch means that Leavenwortn will be perinited to handle the prohibition question as it sees tit Mr Taylor is a rich man a retired wholesale grocer a banker and the owner of a large amount of real estate and rental property Ile is a reputable citizen and 'although he is working against Senator Harris he does him the honor and (ice to say that he (Harris) being a per' son of the highest integrity will faithfully carry out his oath and enforce the law WHY OESERTED HARRIS When the Democratic convention floral nated Senator Ilarris Mr Taylor was dined to be for him but when Mr Harris took the stump and declared that ha would stand squarely upon the Democratic law enforcement reform to the letter Mr Taylor changed on the ground that the enforzement of the prohibition law would deprive landlords of good rental and that it would increase taxes which he believes are now somewhat reduced because of the saloon money corning into the county treasury In other words 1fr Taylor placed the great American dollar above the enforcement of the law With this in mind Mr Taylor aseeriitained how the Republicans felt concerning this question Ile was given his information by persons he will not name latt that he has been given assurancea that Leavenworth will not he disturbed there is no doubt Mr Taylor's standing in this community vouches for that when be says so Having been given authority to speak Mr Taylor has for some time been going front bulginess house to business house electionearing for Hoch In each case he tells the merchant that he is authorized to say on behalf of the Retmlulican state committee that in case Hoch is elected Leavenworth so far as the prohibition law is comerred will be alone '-'4S MAN IN "I haven't seen Governor Hoch personally about this matter" said Mr Taylor to a friend "but a Man with power to speak anthoritaitvely has been to see toe and Lhave his asstirance that Leavenworth will be allowed to handle this mat: ter as it has handled it for several years" Who this "man with power to speak authoritatively" is Mr Taylor refused to say but it is rather significant that Cyrus Leland member of the executive committee of the state Republican committee was here the day before Mr Taylor started his Hoch campaign the slogan of which is "The dollar is the thing" A REPUBLICAN STORY DENIED Sawyer of NOtinn Didn't Sny Speeches Duct lintels LEAVENWORTH NAB Oct 3o--Some time ago a Kansas City morning paper in an article probably' written by the lican organ grinders at headquarters in Topeka had an alleged interview with
