nothing to do with getting up Kansas

that important duty upon it. The swine

ed resolutions favorable to a state fair and
gave out the impression that the state
board of agriculture was the organization

ing committee waited on the officers
and directors of the board to-day to dis
the board did not propose to have any,
thing to do with 1t unless the legislature
made 1t compulsory. The members of the
board claimed that 1t was not the legiti-
mate work of a board of agriculture to
run a pumpkin show once a year and stand
responsible for its success and the payment
of premiums. The board, in the early days.
ran a state fair. but, after considera ble
experience. dropped the project over twen-
ty years ago and has been careful to keep
hands off ever since. The board, in order
TO make its position clear, adopted n reso-
luton to the effect that 1t would not try
to run a state fair, but would assume any
proper responsibility in connection with one
which the legislature might see fit to i'm
pose on it
The breeders Will now go after the fegis-
lature and attempt to get the state to back
such an enterprise by appropriating money
and guaranteeing the payment of the ex-
penses and premiums.

SMALL DEALERS STRIKE BACK.
"ScoOp Shovel" Men Do Not Intend to
BE Run Over by the Grain
Dealers 1Trust.o

Topeka, Kas., Jan I5.-(Special) Attor-
ney General Boyle to-day received a let
ter from the firm of Stebbins & Keith, Of
Kelly, Kas.. calling his attention to an al
legged grain dealers trust in Kansas, and
asking him to proceed under the anti
trust law to dissolve it. The letter reads:
Dear Sir-There has Strung up in this
state an association known as the Kansas
Grain Dealers Association, the object of
which Is to deprive farmers from shipping
their own grain and to freeze out track
buyers by keeping the railroads from furn
ishing them cars. Is this not in open vio-
lation of the state law governing trusts and
combines. and If 1t is will you please pro-
coed to gather evidence to be used to
destroy the organization. 1t has created
a great deal of trouble here"
The attorney general is not here to-day,
but his assistant, Mr.. Smelling, says that II
the association complained of is carrying
on business as told in the letter 1t is GER
tainly a trust within the meaning of the
law. He would not say positively what
would be done. but intimated that the at
torney general would investigate the mat
ter.
Within the past year. the Kansas Grain
Mems Association has sprung up. 1t is
now composed of 275 members. and in
state and the commission firms at Kansas
City. The members deny that 1t is a
trust or that it is organized to monopolize
the grain business, but the proceedings
at the recent convention tend to show that
1t is not organized altogether for the bene-
Ut OF tne hedltn OF the members. In TACT,
the Kansas members went after the Kan
sas City commission men hard for buy
ing wheat of irresponsible" men in Kan
sas, or, in grain dealers parlance. scoop
shovel men. Scoop shower men are track
buyers and farmers who prefer to ship
their own wheat to the market without the
Intervention of middlemen- The Kansas
City firms. in turn, read the riot act to
the Kansas men for selling to 'frrespon-
sible" spectators in the Eastern markets.
The troubles were patched up by the Kan
sans agreeing to ship everything through
Kansas City merchants, and the latter
agreeing to refuse to patronize the scoop
shovel brigade.
This action has aroused the "shovelers''
and they now propose to urge the attor-
ney general to bring suit against the as
sociation to dissolve it under the anti
trust law. 1t is said that the letter re-
ceived to-day is the forerunnner of many
state.

A SANITARY BOARD CLASH.
Taylor Riddle Called Down for Try
ing to Inject Politics Into the
Annual Report

| Rochester, kas.. Jan. 15.-(Special) The
annual report of the Kansas live stock
| sanitary commission will be issued next
week 1t will show what the commission
has done during the past year to justify the
members in drawing their official salaries.
Taylor Riddle, secretary of the commission
and chairman of the Pop state committee,
wanted to make it a Pop campaign docu-
| ment. but he was overruled by the other
two members. 1t was stormy session
when this was done. and for few moments
there was very heated discussion 1t oc-
CURED last week one night at Riddles room
! IN Topeka hotel. The commission author
lied Riddle to write up the report, with the
understanding that all members would get
together afterward and eliminate or add to
1t. 1t was at the elimination meeting
that the trouble occurred.
Riddle had injected all sorts Of Pop stun
INTO the report, and the other two men,
bers, Frank Weinshank, Democrat. and ].
w. Johnson. Republican, took exceptions to
stuff out. Riddle objected strenuously. His
objections were overruled. and the other
two members ran the blue pencil through
die furious. He ranted and tore around at
a great rate. He said it was all put-up

pure and simple"
johnson expressed hlmSelf In about the
same language.
The two said they would never sign their
names to the report as originally written.
If it appeared in print they said they would
publish q signed statement repudating it.
Riddle then threatened to resign, but
when neither of the others expressed any
regret. he changed his mind and threatened
This made Weinshank hot. He declared
that If Leedy wanted his resignation he
could have it; that he did not propose to
nature under any circumstances; but that
If he was fired he would build a little fire
under Mr.. Leedy with the cattlemen that
might result disastrously to his political
ambitions.
johnson said he would be fired before he
would father such report.
Weinshank's threat to tell the cattlemen
what he knew caused Riddle to come down
a notch.
Take that report and do what you please
with it," he said to the others. "I'll have
nothing more to do with it,
There's nothing more to do with it ex-
cept to get it printed, as it has been re-
vised," remarked Weinshank.
Riddle threatened not to sign It.
"All right" said Weinshank You can
get up a minority report containing the
stun we have cut out. and print it at the
back of our report That would be an easy
SELF
Riddle finally agreed to sign the report
as revised. and it win be published.
