IL Called On TO Show How Much Money
Was Taken In, VINO Got IL, VINO Paid
II and what They Got for the Money.
Having learned a good deal about the
history Of the business methods OF the
Society Editors Association in getting out
Americas Smart Set, the District Attor-
ney's Office Is going deeper into tho affairs
OF "Fads and Fancies,' which is TO be pub
lished by Toun Topics, 1t Ia probable that
the District Attorney will have some trouble
In learning who subscribed for -Fads and
Fancies," how much each subscriber put
up and who got the money.
On Friday Mr.. Krotel told ". l.. Daniels
secretary and treasurer Of Tom Topics,
that he wanted to see the books Of Town
Topics, showing what had been done In
relation to .Fads and Fances.' At first
Daniels said that he had no power to pro-
duce the books. The day before he had told
Mr.. Krotel that he had equal power in
Torn Topics with Col w. D. Mann and
Justice Deuel.. When Mr.. Krotel told
Daniels that a subpoena duoes teoum
would be issued for the books Daniels said
that ne would produce them Tomorrow.
Mr.. Krotel told Justice Deuel. yesterday
that the District Attorney was very anxious
TO see the records on "Fads and Fanoies."
Justice Deuel. said he had no authority
over them. He had advised Daniels, he
said, to consult with Edward Lauterback,
OF counsel for Torn Topics, before handing
the books over to the District Attorney.
According to Justics Dsuel Daniels Is the
only man in To,rn Topics who has any
authority over the books in the absence OF
Col. Mann. Justice Deuel. added that Col.
Mann sailed from Europe yesterday, and
that Mr.. Lauterbach would call at the Dis
triot Attorneys offcs on Monday.
If the books wanted by the District At
torneys Office cannot be got In any other
way there will be Grand Jury investiga-
ton Of -Fads and Fancies, In that event
all the books OF TOM Topics will be called
or and examined As matter OF fact.
District Attorney Jerome has decided to
find out who shared In the profits of @Fads
and Fancies.' and what has been done
to live up to the contracts with the SUBJ
soribers. 1t has been understood In the
District Attorneys Office that Justice Deuel.
was practically in control Of ToUn Topics
while Col. Mann was In Europe. He is a
director In the company that publishes
Tonn Tories and also stakeholder.
Moses Ellis Wooster, who conceived the
idea Of "Fads and Fancies, and then. when
the subscription list for -Fads and Fancies"
was closed, started the Society Editors
Association. has been subp9naed for Mon
day. Wooster says that on all subscrip-
tons obtained by him for Pads and Fan
cies" he was to get SO per cent. OF the gross.
The other half was to be split up between
Col. Mann, Justice Deuel. and Tonn Topics
in thirds, Daniels oorroboratcs Wooster
and TINT WNpafnr SAh nm hia
share, but Justice Deuel. says that no suoh
agreement ever existed. Wooster Is said
to have the agreement and the District
Attorneys Office would like to see Il.
