Topeka Merchants Save 5,000
on Advertising Grafts.
Turned That Business Over to
Commercial Club.
MB. ROBINSON'S PAPER
Will Show How the Plan Has
Worked.
He Estimates a Saving of About
5,000.
The stand of the Commercial club
against so-called "graft" advertising
has saved those merchants in Topeka
who allied themselves with thecmove
ment a sum estimated to be'vclose
around $5,000 during the past ys-r.
The advertising committee of the
club, which was the author of the mat
ter, met this morning and some notes
were compared. J. W. Robinson, of
the Robinson-Marshall company, and
who is chairman of the committee,
announced that his affiliation with the
scheme had saved his firm a sum close
to $500 during- the year 1905. The
majority of the biggest business con
cerns in Topeka on Kansas avenue
were in the movement.
For the benefit of really getting at
the facts, Mr. Robinson announced
that he was at work gathering up data
from various merchants on the: subject.
He was instructed to embody all the
information he receives into . a paper
and read it before the next regular
meeting of the club, which will take
place on the night of January 12.
The "graft" advertising spoken of,
is that obtained for programmes of
various and sundries kind, and similar
minor publications. For instance if a
church or school wants to give an en
tertainment some one starts out with a
programme and asks merchants in the
city to advertise in it. The cost to
the merchants may run from one or
two dollars up to ten dollars. The
theory upon which the committee act
ed was that this kind of advertising
does no good and the money spent
therefor is wasted. Therefore-: it :B
agreed by about fifteen of the; me?r
chants in the city to band themselves
together and refuse to longer sub
scribe to such advertising. To bal
ance up the thing the committee ask
ed each members of the agreement to
subscribe a sum towards an advertis
ing fund to be held in charge by Secre
tary Anderson of the Commercial club.
Then when some worthy organization
wanted advertising for its programme,
it was directed to Major Anderson,
who either just subscribed an amount
directly from the fund or paid for
the printing of the programme. The
scheme was remarkably successful.
The men who agreed to stop this kind
of advertising remained firm to their
promise and were rewarded by the
results. Most of the iig stores in
Topeka were benefited. - --Bui, jt-aaA
many of the smaller stores, not in the
agreement, were caught harder this
year on this kind of advertising than
ever before. Failing to get advertise
ments from the stores in the agree
ment, solicitors went to those who
were not members, and naturally the
demands upon these were both heav
ier and more frequent than usual.
Mr. Robinson's paper promises to be
an "eye-opener." It will show that
where heretofore some of the big
stores in Topeka have been paying
from $400 to $500 for advertising in
places where it did them practically
no good, they are now avoiding the
whole matter by paying $50 or $75
into the advertising fund of the Com
mercial club. He will brin with him
data which he is now collecting from
all of the merchants in Topeka who
have kept tab on w hat they have spent
in such promiscuous advertising. He
will bring figures and reports from
merchants. It will be real information
that he will furnish to the people who
come to the meeting.
The entertainment committee of the
Commercial club also met this morn
ing, and later had a-joint session with
the advertising committee. It was
agreed to merge the two committees
this year, to be known as the advertising-entertainment
committee. An ex
ecutive committee of five or seven
members, who are always available to
the chairman's call, will be selected to
act upon matters needing immediate
attention at any time.

ORDERS 20,000 CARS.
German Government Will Expend
$50,000,000 for Kolling Stock.
Berlin. Jan. 3. The railroad ad
ministration placed orders last week
for 20.000 freight cars at a cost of
$50,000,000 with, manufacturers of
five countries, stipulating delivery by
the middle of February, besides utiliz
ing the car works of Germany. The
contracts were distributed among
makers in Belgium, Holland, Switzer
land and Italy, which would not have
been done unless some reasons for
haste existed. Inquiries made regard
ing the reasons for urgency resulted in
obtaining the statement that the or
dering of the cars was a precautionary
measure, the general staff desiring to
be ready to move troops, if necessary,
by the first of March. This is onlv 'a
proper measure of prudence, it was
affirmed, in view of the extensive mil
itary arrangements going on in
France, which among other disposi
tions include the movement towards
the German frontier of six regiments
of artillery, or 180 guns.
The ordering of these freight cars,
each of which would accommodate
forty soldiers or would enable the au
thorities to transport material, is only
in consequence of the French prepara
tions and must not be taken to indicate
any hostile design on the part of Ger
many, whose peaceful intentions re
main unchanged. Tlwe step taken is
due to the conviction long held and
acted upon that the preservative of
peace is complete preparedness in any
eventuality. The word war is not used
because such a word in itself would be
a provocative and every interest, both
in and outside the government, shrinks
from such a possibility unless it be a
small gr.oup of military men. The
government will probably regret pub
lication of this intelligence, but its
transmission seems necessary to a
proper understanding of the drift of
events and of how both France and
Germany . are strengthening their
diplomatic position on the eve of the
Moroccan conference by material
preparations. 1
No doubt exists here that the French
and German policies will differ in the
conference on the question of policing
the Moroccan-Algerian, frontier and
on some less important questions.

LELAfiD MAKES CHARGES
Says J. W. and C. S. Gieeil Are Trying
to Cripple Devlin Trustees.
J. W. Gleed and C. S. Gleed. who have
been more or less prominent in the
transactions of the creditors of the Dev
lin estate are charged by Cyrus Leland
with an attempt to cripple the success
ful management of the estate by the
trustees. The trustees are Cyrus Leland,
Walter Reeves and J. E. Hurley.
"It looks to me as if the Gleeds are
working to cripple the trustees from
carrying on their work," said Mr. Le
land. The old Kansas City Coal and
Coke company, formerly selling agents
for the output of the Devlin mines in
Kansas City, was reorganized after the
Thomas failure and the Kansas City
Fuel and Coal company was the name
of the new organization. Two coal men
of Wichita with the secretary of the old
Kansas City Coal and Coke company
formed the active personnel. It is now
stated that Dr. Woods who was ap
pointed a separate trustee for the Kan
sas City Coal and Coke company and
the Marceline Coal company is w-orking
to the end that t'.-.e present sales agents
for the Devlin mines shall purchase
their coal from the Central Coal com
nanv. back of which Wood is supposed
to stand. lea-ing the Devlin mines with- i
out a sales agent in Kansas City, i ne
fact, too, that leases were made of the
trackage, coal bins and other property
of the former Kansas Coal and Coke
company to the present sales agent com
plicates matters still further.
"It would he hard for us to sell coal
in Kansas City unless we had an agency
and it is hard to secure proper trackage
facilities and everything of that sort."
said Mr. Leland. "Before the trustee
ship the three trustees of the Devlin
estate acted as receivers and as such
were receivers for the old Kansas City
Coal and Coke company, upon their re
organization of this company they made
leases of this trackage and yards to
the new company. This is the strong
hold which the trustees have over Dr.
Woods, trustee, in his effort to dispose
of the company to the Central Coal com
pany by making the former the Kansas
Citv sales agent for the latter. The
Central Coal company is known in com
mon parlance as the trust in this sec
tion of the country and, was reeently
orgar.ized out of a number of coal com
panies, operators on a large scale. among
'these being the Wear Coal company.
My edging out the Devlin mines from a
representative . in Kansas City Dr.
Woods would be in a position to handle
the Kansas City market without a rival.
, 'The whole scheme fs simply one to
criDDle us in disposing o our coal," said

Mr. Leland. "Dr.'Woods' election to the
trusteeship was unfair. They only elect
ed him by one vote and when one of
the creditors opposed to him was absent.
The election was made by certain cred
itors who are under the knuckle of Dr.
Woods. The Gleeds are mixed up in
this."
The trustees refuse in addition to turn
over the Marceline coal mines to Dr.
Woods. After the meeting at which the
trustees were elected and Dr. Woods in
turn received the election as trustee of
the Marceline Coal company it was
discovered that C. J. Devlin had been
the sole owner of the coal company.
Upon this information the trustees
promptly decided they would not turn
over the properties to Woods. They
hold to the claim that they were elect
ed trustees of the Devlin estate and
that the Marceline Coal company is
made a part of it.

which seem to be excited by the cold; and as these are thrown off through
