The Premium Stamp Scheme an In
jury to Business

The fight on the premium stamp
scheme will be made the subject for a
meeting of the Merchants Federation
this evening.
Abe Steinberg, who IS one of the mer-
chants who wants to see the stamp
scheme knocked out said today: 1t is
a steal I have talked to nearly all the
merchants who use stamps and almost
without exception they want to see it
done away with. One or two of the
smaller dealers told me that they gave
all their profits to the stamp men, It
is not only an outrage on the mer-
chants but on the customers as We'll
a woman will save up until she has $50
worth of stamps and then she will get
a little thing worth from so to IS cents
Il have been told that the stamp peo-
pie send from $500 to $500 a month out
of Topeka Every cent of that comes
out of the merchants and think it IS
time that something should be done"
The ordinance placing a heavy tax
upon the business is pending in the city
council Councilman ROundtree, who
is chairman of the committee on Incen-
ses, says that he has interview

opposed to the stamp business, even

WHO FOR CHAIRMAN?
Mort Albaugh's Claims Contest
ed by Followers of Dave
MulVane.

The selection of Mort A1baugh for
temporary chairman of the Republican
state central committee is taken to
mean by most people that he will be
the permanent chairman but Dave Null
Vane and his friends do not think so
and an effort is being made to have
Mr.. MuIvane elected when the state
central committee meets to make the
permanent organiza ton.
In the fight for the Shawnee county
delegation the thing that was upper
most in the mind of Mr.. Dave Mu1vane
was the state craftsmanship His am
bitiOn to be at the head of that or
ganization was the controlling factor
in the fight. But John Seaton went
down at the state convention and an
obstacle was thrown in the way of Mr..
Mulvane's ambition. If John Seaton
had been nominated there would have
been no question about the state chair
manShip-
AS soon as the nomination of Stan
ley was made Mr.. MuIvane's friends
swarmed around him Shawnee county
had not been in at the death but that
did not matter. Mr.. Stanley was urged
to recognize all factions. He was told
that the best thing he could do would
be to select Mr.. MuIvane to be chair
man of the committee and by so doing
he would recognize an important mi
nority in the convention.
Mr. Stanley listened to the talk of Mr.
MuIvane's friends and said: TT is my
wish that Mr.. Albaugh be chairman but
if he should not want the place I would
have no objection to Mr. Mulvanep
Then the Mulvane workers sought
Mr.. AIbaugh- The same argument was
used upon him He hesitated and ask
ed for time to consult his friends. At
ter he had consulted his friends and
among them Mr.. Stanley he announced
that he would not get out of the way
now This was taken to mean that
he intended to take the position and
Mr. Mulvane's friends were in con-
sternation-
Since then they have been working
on the other nominees on the ticket
trying to influence them to insist upon
the selection of Dave Mulvane in place
of Mort AIbaugh- J. R. Burton is one
of the most active workers on Mr.. Null
vane's interest and he has left nothing
undone which would help his lieutenant
in Shawnee county to crafty his ambi-

thrust between two strands of the barb

the ball and held it secure he had to
release with one hand the undershirt
sleeve on the other arm. that had been
caught by the barbs- So narrow was
his escape from injury in making the
catch. and so keen was his Judgment
in placing himself for it, that the barb
merely went through the light texture
of the garment and did not reach the
skin of the arm. 1t was one of the
greatest catches in the history of the
game for nerve, accuracy and judg-
