of the offense of watering his milk to
the extent of 40 per cent, a Lawrence
consumer has figured out that he has
paid his milkman 1896 for water during
the past 80 years. while at the same
time he had a good well in his yard.
They are .-retty sore over in Lawrence
over the exposure made by the state
board of health in connection with the
violation of the pure food laws and one
of the local papers has the following
report of d meeting of Lawrence citi-
zens who had assembled to compare
notes on the water they had bought for
milk:
'They began figuring how much wa
ter they had purchased in that time.
Mr.. Nade1hiffer figured that he had
purchased on an average of a quart OF
milk a day during the last 81 years:
Forty per cent of that was water. II
we give the milk1nan the benefit OF a
doubt and conclude that there was
never any more than 40 per cent of the
milk water, he purchased then for the
consumption of his family 154 quarts
a year at 8 cents a quart on the av-
erase.
In other words for water he had
paid $3.50 a year. In the 80 years to
this milkman he paid $233.60 for wa
ter, and all the time he had in his
yard one Of the finest wells in Law
renee.
Then the men who had been buying
side of the proposition They estima-
ted that he had had in that time an
average of 200 customers who had
consumed a quart of milk a day, or
If he did not have that number there
had been many of his customers who
took more than a quart day. Multi
plying $23360 by 200 the milkman in
question would have sold in the 81
years $46,720 worth of pure water, with
a still more serious question as to

CALLS 1T A TRUST.
Atty. Gen. jackson Begins Action
Against Commission Organization.

Complaints have been issued
against all the fruit and vegetable
commission dealers of Topeka belong
ing to the Topeka Produce and Fruit
Exchange, in which they are charged
with violating the trust laws of the
state. The produce men upon whom
the papers were served are Samuel
Lux, w. o. Anderson. Frank NJ Cope,
Cord c. Smith, George +. Whiteker.
Byron Wilcuts, T. E. Armstrong and
, Burrell Collins.
There are ten counts in the infor-
nation filed against the defendants.
the first charging the formation of
trust and the other nine with the de-
livery of produce sold under trust
methods
The law provides for a fine of ST.
| 600 for the offense charged in the in
dictment and imprisonment for SIX
months. The Investigations of a SIM
| liar organization in Kansas City, Mo-,
by grand jury first led to steps be-
| ing taken against the Topeka fruit
exchange. The state sent a special
agent to Kansas City and the latter's
report led to the discovery of the OPP
| erations of the local exchange. 1t Is
stated that there is plenty of evidence
| to support the charges against the
| Topeka commission men and many il
| Illustrations are cited whereby the ex-
change has restricted the fruit busi-
ness in Topeka to it's own members
and therefore smut out all cOmpetl-
| ton.
The commission men are much in
censed at the action of the state auth
| critics and declare that the suit is
without foundation other than de-
| sire of some state official to make
! political capital out of the proceed
| ing. w. o. Anderson, one of the
members of the exchange made the
following statement:
| There is no organization of the
produce men. Frequently when there
is some produce of which none of US
can handle whole car load two or
three of us go in together and buy it
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-12-17

But there is nothing in the nature OF
a trust in that. We do it in order to
avail ourselves of the carload price
and the carload rates. The consum-
ers in Topeka get the benefits OF TINS.
I consider that our system of opera
ton is beneficial to the people OF To-
peka. There is no trust so far as
know.
II am willing to have the Topeka
produce market prices compared with
those of any city between st. Louis
and the coast. The commission men
here have been trying to build up a
market for Topeka and have succeed
ed fairly we'll. We couldn't do 1t WITH
out working together more or less Tor
there are too many of us who are not
able to handle car load lots of some
produce all alone. The Oklahoma
melon man referred to by the attor-
ney general sold his melons IN To-
peka. / know because he sold them
to me- Then to show that there is no
combination I might state that he
went to another commission man who
offered him more and he sold them
again. He went to another commits
sion man and sold them third time.
The third man got the melons because
he paid more for them.
George F. Whiteker. another member
of the exchange. expressed himself in
dignantly as follows:
1T looks to me like someone Is try
ing to injure the wholesale business In
Topeka In fact it looks like someone
is trying to kill it.. The charge that
there is a trust among us commission
men is a falsehood. Someone has been
misrepresenting things to the officials
or those officials are trying to make po-
litical capital 1 cant say which. over
a year ago We had a brokerage COM
pany but 1t went to the wall the first
of last December. over year ago, and
we SOLD it out. We have nothing what
ever to do with it. 1t was not sue
cess. I know because I was treasurer
of It, If the politicians and profession
a. knockers keep on they will drive ev-
cry wholesale and commission business
,, in Topeka elsewhere. TWO or three
commission men have told me they had
about decided to move to Kansas City;
that the were given a black eye every
! time they turned around here and that
there was apparently no good word for
them in Topeka. Kansas City is get
ting Topeka's business enterprises be-
cause the people there are not trying all
the time to drive out what few indus
tries they have. So far as our COM
pany is concerned there is no produce
! trust in Topeka. 1 have business
enough to attend to right here without
trying to run the business OF othef
commission houses.
| The commission men appeared before
i the clerk of the district court and gave
| bond for 500 each for their appearance
| for trial at the January term OF dis
| trict court

FIVE GIRLS MISSING.
Believed to Have Lost Their Lives in
Fire

Philadelphia. Dec. 17.-At least five
girls who were employed in the six
story building occupied by Schrack &
Sherwood, manufacturers of under
takers supplies, which was destroyed
by fire last night, are missing and it is
feared they lost their lives.
One fireman, Joseph Toner, was
killed. He gave up his life in searching
for missing women in the lower floors
of the building while the upper part
of the structure was aflame. A score
of persons sustained burns and minor
injuries. About twenty women were
at work on the fifth floor when the
fire was discovered on the floor below.
Most of them with the assistance of
policemen and firemen, escaped, but
some were carried out unconscious.
