comedy, hold the center of the stage at

farce. king Casey" Johnny Ray stands
alone in his character study of Casey. The
plot of the farce depends on a case Of
mistaken identity. Casey having a twin

Casey is employed as the fireman at
the Waldorf-Astoria and the first mixup
occurs when he is mistaken for Chief
Casey of the New York fire department.
The twin brother. who at one time was
shipwrecked and cast on desert island,
Lalla Pa Zaza, is made king of tropical
country. and he. too. appears on the
scene, having left his kingdom to search
for girl. Goldie Mine. The king cares
little about returning to his home, SO
Casey volunteers as a substitute in place
OF his twin brother. The true king is
finally discovered through the tattoo mark

greater portion of the amusement.

Then another thing: all the Kan

not parties to the suit and were not
represented at the hearing of the
board when the rates were raised. The
bound to do all in their power to pro-
tect the interest of their customers
and producers, especially in view of
the fact that many of them knew
nothing at all about the technical side
of the matter nor the injustice done
them, nor will they know until they
are called upon to pay the additional
tolls to the express companies And
this is the railroad boards idea of
putting the big creameries out of
business.
MANY of the farmers of Kansas are
located long distances from any
creamery and have no other market
for their cream except the Continental.
They must ship milk by the long haul
to our creamery; Now the board
claims that the raise in rates amount
to but little but I know of a lot of
farmers located on one line of road in
a certain section of this state who sell
cream only to the Continental who will
be forced to pay $1,000 more money
in tolls per year to the express COM.

first decision, stated that the Belle
vile creamery had asked for a low
short haul rate and high rate on the
long haul and justified its ruling on
this request This creamery is To-
Gated on the Rock Island road. The
boards rate increased the rate on all
shipments made by this ceamery on
the Rock Island for distances of over
thirty-five miles-increased them or
left them the same. but in no case low
cred them. These increases range
from cents per can to "a cents. There
is a decrease of / cent on distances
of less than thirty-fve miles. But
most of the cream shipments are from
distances of longer than thirty-five
miles, so the railroad commits
sion has not, therefore, satisfied
even the Belleville creamery by its
new rate and that creamery must suf-
fer with the others.
Mr. Doran concluded his interview
by declaring that he would fight the
case to a finish on behalf of his clients.

creameries and cries 'twolf'' in justi

zANDITON IS HELD
Former Topeka Man Arrested
in st. Louis
Charged With Obtaining Goods
on False PretenSes.
STATEMENTS UNTRUE.
Claim He Misrepresented Liza
bilities in Bankruptcy Case.
Also That Assets We're Smaller
Than Represented.

st. Louis. Mo-, July 21.-Edward L.
Zanditon, general merchant of
Topeka, Kan, who was indicted by a
St. Louis grand jury on charge of
obtaining goods from wholesalers and
jobbers on an alleged false financial
statement, was arrested here today.
Bankruptcy proceedings we're in
The receivers report to the grand
jury shows Zanditon's liabilities to be
$4,000 instead of $4,000 as he
represented and his assets were ap-
praised at $4,000, while he gave
statements showing them to be
$95,
Wholesalers, jobbers and manufac-
turers in Kansas City, Chicago, New
York and other mercantile centers
are said to have given Zanditon ex-
tensive lines of credit.
Edward L. Zanditon has had a
checkered career as Topeka business
man. He came to Topeka about ten
years ago, and opened up ladl95 o1t- c.1i
fitting shop upstairs over a small Dulid-
ing between Fifth and Sixth on the
east side of Kansas avenue. Zan-iiton
kept a small supply of ready made
gowns on hand, and did mail order
business for an eastern house. This
venture proved a failure however ana
he was closed out.
His next venture in Topeka was the
operation of dry goods and furnish
ing in the rooms now occupied by the
Charles McClintock queensware store
between Eighth and Ninth streets. lie
continued at this stand for ovec
year. but finally closed cut, being hard
pressed by creditors.
Later he operated a general dry
goods and furnishing establishment
on East Sixth street, but this busi-
ness suffered a fate similar to his
other ventures.
His late business venture in Tope-
ka hasn't been entirely smoothed ov-
er yet. When the Crawford theater
building was remodelled, Zanditon
leased the entire lower floor and fit
ted it up with a large stock of dry
goods and mems clothing. Most of
his stock was purchased on credit.
and although he adopted all the
usual methods of winning trade, he
was unable to make the big propo-
sition a success, and when creditors
began to demand payment, he was
forced to the wall. The stock went
into the hands of a receiver. Re
Gently he has been in Oklahoma.

STATEMENT BY FUTILE.
President of Boston ( Maine Road Discusses His Possible Retireme-t from Office.

Boston, July 30.-In an interview today with reference to his oft reported retirement from the Dresi- dency of the Boston l& Maine railroad, President Lucius Futile said:
 My term of office as director ex- pires by limitation on October IS, when the annual meeting of the stockholders takes place, and whether I am to continue in office as director and president will depend primarily upon the action of the stockholders, and later upon that of the directors then elected, as well as upon my own personal preferences.
 Under the provisions of the Boston & Maine holding bill recently passed by the Massachusetts legislature, the New Haven road will undoubtedly have the power of saying how the Boston & Maine stock held by the holding company shall be voted at the annual meeting, and, as the holding company's stock will control the meet ing, it will be within the New Haven roads power and right to determine all things as to the personnel and policy of the future management of the Boston 6 Maine system.
 "As it is not the custom to noni- nate the incoming board of directors until the September meeting of the board, ans as no discussion has been had with me concerning my connection with the matter. there seems to be nothing further at present for me to say concerning it''
