ZINC SHELTER TRUST AGAIN
The Story of a Combine Engineered by
ID. j. Cappeau is Again
Launched by the
X. G.. Times

In a recent issue OF the Kansas City
Times appears column article pur-
porting to be an interview with Col.
Jos. A. Corby, mine owner of
Joplin, who has been talking with an
other big ore dealer in New York.
Mr.. Corby assures the Times that the
trust with $50, 600, 600 capital will be
launched within a few weeks Con-
tinuing the article says;
"The formation of zinc smelter
trust has been attempted on at least
one previous occasion, when a New
York promoter and prominent
Joplin mine operator made the effort
to consolidate some Of the largest
producing interests with the smelt-
ing interests. That project was
abandoned only a few weeks ago,
leaving the field open to d. j. Capp-
peau formerly of Philadelphia, but
lately general manager of the Lanyon
smelling interests at lola and Pitts
burg, Kansas. Mr., Cappeau has
been working for year or more upon
the trust scheme he has just con-
summated.
1.-THE situation in nut shell is this:
The trust must have the control of the
ore output of the Missouri-Kansas
district. 1t must then force down the
price of ore to the lowest point at
which the needed supply can be mined
and at the same time force up the
price of spelter to such a figure as
will enable them to operate and pay
dividends upon watered stock. | UNI
derstand that $50, 900, 600 is a fair es-
innate of the actual value of the prop.
critics which will be included in the
trust, and while there is u big profit
in zinc smelling it is not so great but
that spelter prices must be greatly
raised to pay dividends upon the cap
italization of $50. 200, 600.
THE trust includes the Lanyon in
terests, the New Jersey interests, the
Matthieson-Hegeler interests at La
Sale, H., and the Illinois Zinc COM
pany's holdings. Many of their
smelters will have to be shut down.
as they cannot be operated in com
petition with the new down-draught
smelters and particularly those where
gas is used as fuel. This made the
feasibility of the organization of the
trust greater. The old smelters will
doubtless be abandoned by the trust,
and Capitalization of the smelters will
doubtless follow.
sd. j. Cappeau, who has organized
the sme'ter trust, is the man who
quietly went into lola, Kansas, some
thing over year ago, and after sew
eral months work consolidated the
three big smelling interests operating
there and at Pittsburg. including the
lines of the canyons and the Kansas
Oil and Gas company. In addition
to this he secured favorable leases
upon every tract of oil and gas land
of any value in the vicinity of lola,
So smooth was his work that not
until after he had secured control ot
/ the gas lands and completed the con,
/ solidation of the smelling interest,
/ did anyone i'm lola know what Mr.
/ Cappeau's business in the town was
and it is said that no one of the three
big Interests combined know toda,

At the Topeka Good Roads Con-

w. H. Moore, President of the assoc
citation said:
"The people understand if an extern

classes will find an abundance of

and we will cut the pay rolls of char
ity and criminal expenses one-half.
The national government will not
undertake to build roads for the states,
but it has recently divided the country
into four subdivisions and will soon
be able to act as an intelligence Office
in each of those divisions. so the peo-
pie may move intelligently along sys-
tematic and economic lines.
The first necessary step in all states
and the object of this congress now in
session is to organize. The road
question is the only one that is an

"There is enough elbow grease

ON BANKS OF THAMES.
Harvard and Yale Oarsmen Ready to
Battle for Supremacy.

New London, Crit, Juns 27.-Once
more the representative crews of the two
leading American universities, Yale and
Harvard, stand on the banks of the
Thames ready to renew the battle for
rowing supremacy, while the enthusiasts
of former years, old boatm en- and under
graduates are locking into New London,
the scene of so many memorable contests
The crews-and this year there are six
of them, a varsity, a freshman and four
oar from each college-have finished their
training after many weeks of tedious
persevering work.
Naturally with Harvard's captain, who
was the stroke and the best oar, out of
the boat, reclining on couch at Red
Top with an injured ankle, there is to-
night at the Yale quarters, the utmost
confidence In the ability of the New
Haven crew to pull out "a victory tomor-
row In the big four miles race between
the varsity Fights. Still there is a grim
determination at Red Top, the Harvard
quarters, TO do or die, and there are not
few tonight who believe that this
doggedness will win the race.
The freshman race is this year absorb
ing more than ordinary attention and as
yet no ons has been so rash as to state
positively who will win.
All three Of the races are planned as
usual to be rowed down stream. The four
cared crews will be sent away at ll.3O.
Immediately afterward the freshmen
will start at the navy yard and finish
under the big railroad bridge, a distance
also of two miles. The observation train
which will have followed the crews down
the course will then hurry back to Red
Top and about IL, noon, the varsity
eight will start and pull down stream for
four miles.
Should a strong wind necessitats a
postponement tomorrow the programme
will provide for the four cared and the
| freshmen races starting about four
O'Clock in the afternoon. But the varsity
race will be rowed up stream and will
probably not be started until about seven
p. m.
