GIVE COMMISSION MORE POWER.
kansans Want Bill Passed by This
Congress.

The commercial organizations of the
city are planning to organize the business
men of this city and southwest Kansas
into a special committee to work for the
passage of the Elkins bill in congress.
This Is a bill presented to congress at the
last session and contemplates giving the
interstate commerce commission more
power, allowing the commission to take
hand in the adjustment of freight rates
and also giving them power to enforce
their rulings. For long time it has
been found that after the interstate COM
merce commission makes rulings that
would be beneficial to any community
and would prevent discrimination by the
railroads against one city and in favor
of another. they could do little toward
correcting the abuses as they had abso-
lutely no power TO enforce their rulings
They could rule any way they pleased
but the railroads could laugh in their
faces.
y national organization of trade and
commercial bodies has been organized es-
pecially to push the passage of this bill.
the executive committee and j. E How
ard of this city is a member OF the com
mittee. This committee has direct charge
of the bill and its Introduction in con-
sress, and a circular letter has been
issued TO all trade bodies. especially in
the west, asking them to organize their
business men into special committees to
work for the passage of the bill. The
Commercial club has written each of its
me mbers asking them to write TO the con-
gressmen from Kansas and if they have
Il personal acquaintance, to call on the
congressman and secure their support to
the bill. 1t is especially desired that
Kansas should announce that every one
OF her congressman is in favor of the
bill. The Kansas congressman cut a whole
lot of ice in Washington. especially since
the last election, and il such a thing
could be procured the passage of the bill
would almost be assured, and this is a
measure that all jobbers and manufacture
ers deem necessary and beneficial to pro-
tect themselves and their patrons from
any Entertainments the railroads may
make as regards freight rates to and
from a different territory

man of large capital. Sunday he decided
! TO invest in Wichita property and found
the Whine building for sale. He came
to Wichita and looked over the property
Monday morning, asked the price, did q
little mental figuring, consulted some pa
pers and said he would take il. The
papers were made out, signed and the
cash forfeit paid over almost in less time
than it takes to tell about it. The deal
was completed yesterday morning and
was made through the agency OF David
son & Christnan.
Mr.. Walt will move his family to Wich-
ita and hanceforth will be identified with
Wichitas business interests.
Mr.. Scott E. Whine, in speaking OF the

would still retain their rooms in the build
ing. The firm is permanently located in
Wichita and viii conduct their business
from this point. The building was pur
chased three years ago for $4,000. Mr..
Whine stated that while the property was
a good investment in all ways the firm
could use the money TO better advantage
in extending their business in Oklahomt
and this was the reason for the disposal
Of the property
Immediately after the sale was COM
pleted Mr.. Walt signed a lease for the
entire lower floor and two rooms on the
second floor to NJ. A. Jacobs & Co, of
New York City, for term of five years
and a certified check for $500, the first
years rent, was handed over.
NJ A. Jacobs & Co. is one of the largest
clothing manufacturing establishments
in the country. They have one factory
employing 100 men and are rated by the
commercial agencies at s., 00c,0oO
They will move the Fulton stock. which
they purchased, and put in new fixtures
and a stock valued at 100000 or more.
1t was announced by the representative
of the firm that this was the forerunner
of an extensive wholesale house TO be
established by the company in this city.
They now have retail houses in many of
the larger cities of the country, but their
business in this section was not what
they considered it should be and would
establish first a retail clothing store and
later wholesale house TO sell their goods
to the trade.

IT'S ALL
A MISTAKE

You haven't the least right to think that we sell
nothing but high quality and consequently high
priced clothing. It's fact-we sell the best but
not at high prices by any means.
Of course we'd rather sell you Suit Over
coat of higher rather than lower quality because
we know that the best gives the best satisfaction
by that we mean The best quality, best workman
ship, perfect fit and style that's strictly exclu-
size. That's the make up of an H. & H. Suit
But even then you'll find line of very desir-
able garments in lower grade of goods, and
can say with perfect assurance that they'll be
much better than the average garment the price.

IN ARKANSAS TIMBER LANDS BY
OUTSIDE MONEY.
STANDARD Oil Company Invests
Quarter Million Near Pine
Bluff.

Memphis, Tenn, July 9.-The large
purchase Ot timcber land recently
made in the Memphis district by the
Standard Oil company and the Stude-
baker Wagon company, the former in.
Vesting $250,0 near Pine Bluff, Ark,
and the latter buying several thous
and acres on the 1azoo and Mississip
pi Valley railroad, in Mississippi, will
probably be equaled by the TifIin
Wagon company, Of Tiffin, Ohio. This
concern is negotiating for the pur-
chase of several thousand acres Of
timber land in Clark county, Ark.
In the event this land is purchased
the Tiffin Wagon company will estab-
lisll a large saWmill in Clark county
for the purpose of working up the
timber for easy shipment to the fac.
tory at Tiffin.
George R. James, president of the
James & Graham Wagon factory 7s
Memphis, stated that the great wood
WosKing concerns Of the North had
their agents inth timber sections
o. Arkansas ana MISSISSIPPI, and that
every available piece Of timber land
was being bought. He said also that
no less than twenty of these agents
had been III Memphis since the first
Of the year.
Oak and hickory are in the greatest
demand for use in the manufacture OF
wagons and the supply of both had
practically been exhausted in the
timber states north of Tennessee.
Hence the South is the field of sup
ply: On account Of the diminishing
supply Of oak and hickory the price
Of wagon material advanced consider
ably within the past year. The ad-
vance in the price Of wagons, how
ever, has not been commensurate
with the increased price of material.

Boston, July 9.-Chas. Roberts, an
Englishman and assistant steward on
the Cunarder Saxony, was fined $40
in the West Boston district court yes,
terday on pleading guilty to the
change of desecrating the American
flag. Roberts, with two companions,
was enjoying the Fourth of July in
East Boston and was somewhat intox-
lcatcd. At a hotel there while wait
ing to be served with refreshments
Roberts took a small American hag
from his pocket, and after making
some insulting remarks tore the flag
into shreds and threw them into the
1ace of a stranger.
Several of those present drove the
three men into the street, where one

gave him such a beating that the lat.
ter had to cry for mercy and has since
