Bruce Deitrich Says Evasion of
Law Net Intended.
Declares a Cash Grain Market
Is the Plan.
Now for a board of trade or business
exchange in Topeka! At a meeting
held Thursday night at the Commercial
club representative millers and other
business men of the city were in favor
of forming such an organization, and
to that end a committee composed 'f
W. W. Walton of the Central Com
mission company, George Hackney of
the Hackney Milling company, and
John B. Nicholson of the Kaw Vallpy
Milling company, were appointed to
draw up by-laws and arrange details.
Another meeting will be held next
Friday evening at which time the com
mittee will make a report. David
Page of the Mid-Continent mills served
as temporary chairman of the first
meeting, and he likewise will preside
at the next meeting.
Bruce Deitrich, C. J. Tuttle and M.
Jj. Tankersley, grain brokers of Kan
sas City, were present at the meeting
and gave Information In respect to the
mode of procedure which should be
taken in forming an exchange.
"A board of trade is a good thing
for anv town." said Bruce Deitrich.
"What is good for New York, Kansas
City and Wichita should also be good
for Topeka.
"Money might just as well stay here
as go to the Kansas City banks. An
exchange in this city would mean to
the , local banks J50.0OO a year in 111-
tP"Ift a merchants' exchange weri
formed I don't like that name board
of trade as people have gained the idea
that it Is an aggregation of gamblers
It would of necessity bring a good
manv people from out of town. tt
would bring business that . other 1m
would go to Kansas City. It would
bring 50 people In a short time, mucn
capital, and it would mean that money
would he put in circulation locally.
Will Come to Topeka.
"We are willing to come to Topeku,
bring our families and build up a cash
grain market here provided you take
the proposition up and push it: other
wise our interest ceases immediately.
"I haven't anv doubt but within 0
days there would be half a dozen
branch offices of firms represented in
Kansas City on the board of trade.
We want a cash grain market and To
peka looks good to us.
"There isn't any reason why this
Kansas trade should go to Missouri.
You are paying commissions every day
that should be retained in the state.
Wichita has an organization and they
are making money.
"Kansas has stringent laws in regard
to gambling In grain stocks. If this
exchange is managed right there will
be no member w ho will not be convinc
ed that it conforms to the statutes in
every particular. It is not the idea to
try to evade the law.
"A market for home' stocks is what
vou want. It wouldn't need to be con
fined to grains. It could be a clearing
house for cement and other Kansas
stocks.
"The first step is to obtain a charter.
Then it. would be necessary to employ
a secretary at say $150 a month, and
some quotation men. The secretary
would have to furnish a bond for 15 or
20 thousand dollars.
"To start with, the grain market in
Topeka would have to creep; inside of
six months it would be walking. The
markets of the world would be at your
disposal. The exchange would be en
titled to all the quotation news that
any other board of trade in estitled to."
"It would stop grain from shooting
through to Kansas City." said George
Hackney, "and in case of car shortage
We could get an adequate supply of
DOCTOR
OPERATION
Cured by LydiaE-Pinkfaam's
Vegetable Compound
Galena, Kans. "A year ago last
March I fell, and a few days after
there was soreness in my right side.
In a short time a bunch came and it
bothered me so much at night I could
not sleep. It kept
f rowing larger and
y fall it was as
large as a hen's egg.
I could not go to
bed without a hot
water bottle applied
to that side. I had
one of the best doc
tors in Kansas and
he told my husband
that I would have to
be operated on as it
was something like
a tumor caused by a rupture. I wrote
to you for advice and you told me not
to get discouraged but to take Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
I did take it and soon the lump in my
ride broke and passed away." Mrs.

equalize Aricea, '
"It seems to me too that it would be
to advantage to hold the Kansas crop
as far back as possible in the country,
so we won't have to go to Kansas
City to buy -wheat."
Looks Bright for Plans.
John B. Nicholson, manager of the
Kaw Valley Milling company, stated
that the elevator belonging to his com
pany, with a capacity of 350,000 bushels
of grain, could be used by the exchange
as a bonded elevator. It was proposed
at the meeting that the old elevator now
in disuse, of the Home Elevator com
pany, with a capacity of 175.000 bush
els, be leased for a bonded elevator.
J. E. Gall, at whose suggestion the
meeting was called, stated that he
knew of 30 members who would be
glad to come into the exchange. "I
know that Topeka. could have a good
board of trade if we all pull together,"
said he. "I have sent thousands of dol
lars out of the state because wehad
no exchange."
TAFT HAS BUSY DAY.
President Will Lay Cornerstone of
School in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, Sept. 23. President Taft

DEATHENDS A WAGER
Two Pints Beer and One of Whisky
Proves Fatal.
Chicago, Sept. 23. Andrew Scho
strick of Whiting, Ind., laid a wager
with a friend that he could drink two
pints of beer and a pint of whisky
within an hour.
Schostrick drank four pints of beer
and a quart of whisky. Two hours
later he was found dead at his home.
The two men went into a Whiting
saloon and got into an argument over
the quantity of liquors each could
drink. Finally Schostrick made the
wager, the winning of which cost him
his life. After drinking the liquor he
went to his home apparently none the
worse for his interior deluge. He laid
down and went to sleep and when his
wife tried to awaken him found he
was dead.

I .Important Savings for Cash
Seymour. Ind.. Sept. 23. A record
of 53 years' service as an engineer
without being in a wreck was broken
here last night when Engineer James
McGregory of Jeffersonville, Ind., 70
years old, running a Pennsylvania pas
senger train from Indianapolis to
Louisville, with a No. 13 engine, crash
ed into a Baltimore & Ohio freight
train at this place. No one was in
jured. McGregory, who has only eight days
more to serve before being put on the
retired list, stopped near the crossing
and without seeing the approaching ;
freight started forward. Although the
train was moving slowly it had gained ;
sufficient momentum when it reached;
the crossing to cut through the freight,
knocking several cars from the track.

PATTEN" CAUTIONS STUDENTS.
Retired Broker Tells How to Resist
Temptation.
Chicago, Sept. 23. James A. Patten,
retired board of trade operator, last
night told the students of Northwest
ern University how to resist tempta
tion. He said it was by learning how
to say "no."
The occasion was the first chapel
service of the year.
"Teach the boys to say 'no' while
they are young," said Mr. Patten.
"Many a man has been lost just be
cause he had never learned in his
vouth to say 'no.' My young friends,
when vou grow older and embark on
the rough seas of life, vou will know
of what value it is to you to be able
to say that word 'no.
"Just learn how to say the word.
Spell it over and ovc so often that
when you really feel the need it will
come to you naturally to say 'no' to
all the evil temptations and . vices
which beset you"r manhood in a large
city.
"I would also caution the bovs to
stay out of Chicago especially at night,
when the city is aglow with brilliant
lights and attractions to ensnare the
weak and unsuspecting."
Cranked His Auto and It Killed Him.
Prosser, Wash.. Sept. 23. C. A. Wild
er, a photographer, was killed on the
street by his own automobile Thursday
while he was cranking the machine.
The car jumped upon him, rolled him
and mangled him and then stopped.
Many persons were passing along the
street and noticed nothing unusual.
Even those who saw the man's feet
protruding from .beneath the car
thought he was at work making re
pairs. Death must have been in
stantaneous, resulting from a broken
neck.

AIRSHIPS FOR THE V. S. XAVY.
John B. Ryan Proposes to Furnish a
licet Free of Expense.
Washington, Sept. 23. John Barrv
Ryan, son of Thomas F. Ryan, the
j.Jew York multi-millionaire, spent
today in the war and navy depart
ments and succeeded in driving the of
ficials into a state of enthusiasm over
the proposition to provide the arrav
and navy with a fleet of airships that
would augment tremendously the of
fensive and defensive powers of the
twin services.
The attractive feature of Mr. Ryan's
proposition was its economical side; he
did not ask a dollar of government
money in return for the creation of a
reserve of about a thousand aeroplanes
that might be called immediately into
service by the government in time of
need. What he did want was the moral
support of the tire departments. This
was given him with hearty good will.
Ryan's idea is to have an afficer de
tailed from each branch to act in an
advisory capacity and to assist in the
organization of the reserve of military
lines.
Efforts will be made to develop aero
planes of greater size than those now
in use, so as to transport a corporal's
guard and to carry sufficient ammu
nition for effective bomb work.

Xew York. Sept. 23. Henry Breton,

Britton is an expert machinist and
