HOW OTTAWA GETS BEER.
Suit in Court May Expose Tricks That
Are Dark.


Ottawa, Kan, May 22.-The trial of a
law suit just Instituted in the Franklin
county court is liable to shed some light
on how prohibition Ottawa gets its supply
of beer.
The suit was brought by Attorney Geo.
D. Rathbun on behalf of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing company against W. NJ
Stewart.
Mr. Stewart was formerly agent for the
Wells-Fargo and Pacific Express COM
panies here. Last winter he was trans
ferred to a better position as route agent
in Oklahoma.
The Anheuser-Bush Brewing COM
pany's Kansas City branch brings suit
against him to collect 5000, alleged to be
An itemized statement sent to Mr.. Rath-
bun sets out that between February and
November Il of last year Mr.. Stewart puF-
chased 2.166 worth Of beer from the An
heuSer Busch people. A letter sent Mr..
Rathbun shows that the claim of 5000
which the brewing company now seeks to
collect is for empty bottles and cases
which the company alleges Mr.. Stewart
never returned It IS understood that MT.
Stewart claims this charge is unWarrant-
ed and that he RENTED at various times
for all the beer shipped to him by the
Anheuser- Busch people.
The law suit is likely to be only a con-
the "empties," but it will be of interest
from the fact that it may throw some
light on the amount of beer conSun ed
here. The fact that the amount sold by
one brewery in a little more than nine
months figured more than s., 900 at whole
sale prices is regarded as significant. The
beer in question was shipped into Ottawa.

TAKING OFF THE Birdie.
Rock Island Officials Open Up shops
in Iowa.

ROCK AsIanO O9lclktlS open Up SHOPS
in Iowa.
Des Moines, May 22.@The Rock
Island officials at Valley Junction have
received an order from the general
Offices in Chicago taking off the
Bride as they call it, or in other
words resembling all orders curtailing
tn eamount of pay roll to be incurred
in the shops and giving the master
mechanic authority to employ as many
men at all times as the work on hand
will justify.
As result of the order a large
number of men laid off a short time
ago that the pay roll might be reduced
by $4,000 for the month of May, will
be reinstated.
The order is significant in that it is
understood that it is to be permanent
in so far as the present management is
concerned and that hereafter instead
of fixing an arbitrary amount and
stating the pay roll shall not exceed it,
the master mechanic is to be allowed
to use his discretion in determining
this and the number of men to be
worked.
Since the Loree management took
possession a policy has been adopted
of stating from month to month how
many men were to work or how much
was to be paid at all shops. regardless
of the amount of work on hand and
this order, subject to frequent changes
in amount, resulted in much uncer-
tainty and discomfort to employees.
