BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
Grain Dealers Are Discussing
Papers and Things.

The members of the Grain Dealers as
sociation are holding the annual state
convention in Topeka. The organization
is four years old and each of the an
nuaI meetings has been held in this
city
The meeting this afternoon which was
held in the council chamber of the city
hail was behind closed doors. Among
the topics discussed We're .'.Short
Weights at Terminal Markets. by A.
c. Sherman of this city; How Can We
Secure Just Freight Rates - General
discussion by delegates. Report of G.
N. Counsley, supervisor Of weights at
Kansas City, No, and ''HCW Can VIZ
Secure a Report of Reputable Dealers
in the South by H. L.. Strong Of Con-
way.
Tonight a smoker and social time will
be the order of the programme at the
council chamber. Following this the
members Of the association who are in
attendance will adjourn to The ThrOOp
hotel where a banquet will be served
Tomorrow forenoon a business meet
ing will be held and the officers fol the
ensuing year will be chosen. About zoe
Of the 400 membership of the association
are in attendance at the meetings, and
tomorrow afternoon they will go to
Kansas City where they will be enter
tained by the board of trade.
Mr.. J. E. Smiley. secretary of the as
sociation, is very enthusiastic concern
ing the work of the association He feels
that it is due to the efforts of the as
sociation that Topeka has taken a place
we'll up towards the front rank in the
grain markets of the world
The charges, hOWeve-," said Mr..
Smiley, that the Grain Dealers associ-
alton is trust and that it is working
towards the discrimination against the
producer and that it is attempting TO
regulate and control prices is absolutely
false.
The association was organized for the
sole purpose of harmonizing the in
terests of the grain dealers and the grain
producers, and to protect their interests
at the terminal markets. This protec-
tion has been more in the way of keep
ing the correct weights and grades
checked up.
This bureau is kept up at Kansas
City and Topeka at an expense of over
$4,000 per year. Its advantages are not
restricted to the members of the as
sociation but to farmers and all others,
whether members of the association or
not. Shippers from other states whose
market is either Kansas City or Topeka
are able to get this protection.
'One Of our men is kept at each of the
elevators to keep a check on the condi-
ton and weight of every car of grain
unIoaded at the various elevators"

afternoon Judge Clark rendered the de-
cision Of the Cheyenne bottom land con-
dernnation cases that knocks out every
thing so far done A motion was made
by the attorneys for the land owners
that all proceedings be quashed for the
reason that the charter of the company
calls for the use of the land for irriga-
ton and storage purposes. also for man
ufacturing. electric lights and other pur-
poses The point raised was that the
charter called for the use of the lands
for both public and private purposes and
for which public domain could not be
condemned. This point was ably discuss
ed BY attorneys for both sides.
Judge Clark sustained the motion
made by the land owners attorneys. An
appeal will be taken to the supreme
court. This knocks out all the work
so far DONE and if the decision is sus-
tanned by the higher courts, coInpels the
company backing the enterprise to begin
at the beginning and go over the entire
ground with an amended charter. This
decision involves 40, 600 acres of land sit
