HEARING ON APPEAL
Trading Stamp Case. Before
the Appellate Court.
ARGUMENT FOR DISTRICT
System Declared by Corporation At
torney to Be Barred by Previ-
ous Decision

IF the Court Of Appeals should declare
legal the scheme OF the trading stamp
companies 1t would cost the six leading
department stores OF this city $42O. 900 per
annum, every penny Of which would have
to be added to the cost OF the articles
sold by them and would fall on the con-
sumer," declared William Henry White.
assistant corporation counsel. this after
noon. The statement was made in his
closing argument before the Court of Ap-
peals at the hearing OF the appeal of the
District Of Columbia from the ruling of
the Police Court that the present trading
stamp and economy voucher enterprises
do not fall under the Lansburgh decision
against gift enterprises
Goes Into Details.
every man in the District" continued
Mr.. White. who gets 500 per month
would be taxed $3.50 per month, which
would go directly to the stamp company.
OF this $4,000, which would go to the
stamp companies, only two-fifths of the
amount would be paid out to the Gus
toner. leaving a handsome profit for
the concern"
Mr.. White declared the whole purpose
of the companies was to encourage people
to save stamps in the hope that they
would be lost and never redeemed. He
told the court that the Green Trading
Stamp Company refuses to redeem in
merchandise for less than $50 stamps,
except for falcon pens, which he styled
g. subterfuge. In cash, he stated, they
redeem at one cent for ten stamps, which
is only about 40 per cent of the value OF
the merchandise redemption.
The cooperative plan Mr.. White also

it's members do not share profits. Each
member, he stated. pays 2 cents, from
which is deducted the cost of securing the
% cents, and the balance Of the quarter
called dividends. In all other essentials,
he argued. the plan is identical with the
green trading stamp enterprise.
Declared to Be Law Since 1897.
The assistant corporation counsel de-
cIared that the Lansburgh decision has
been the law since 1897, when it was de-
cided and has been quoted with approval
in later decision by the appellate court
in the Sheehy case He said there is no
change in method making any difference
in principle from the scheme held illegal
by the Lansburgh decision. He pointed
out that the trading stamp people are not
agents Of the merchant, do not redeem
tract with the customer, who gets no title
to the stamps and If the company refused
to redeem the stamps, he declared, the
customer would have to bring suit In
name~of all persons from whom he coll
lected stamps.
No contract, he said. existed between
the merchant and customer the delivery
Of stamps closing the transaction. The
stamp company. he stated. Is not the
agent or bailee for payment OF money
or delivery Of merchandise from mer-
chant to collector.
The stamps are sold. he said at $3.50
per thousand. and are redeemed at 81
per thousand. making a profit Of $3.50 per
thousand.

LANG DECLARES He may
BEAT KETCHEL IN PUNCH
Australian Heavyweight Looked
on as Enlarged Edition of
MiddIeWeight Champion

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Bill Lang, the
champion heavyweight of Australia,
has started training at Captain Bonds
place in Stratford, Conn, and all of the
villagers flock to the camp TO get a
look at the big fellow, who is to meet
Stanley Ketchel at the Paramount Atm
letic club August IL.
There's queer thing about the Aus
tralian-he is built on exactly the same
plans as is -tetchel, only on larger
scale. Lang looks a little like the
Michigan Lion" His eyelids are heavy
and hang half way over the eyeballs.
1t is usually supposed that men with
such eyelids are good judges of DIS
tance, and when Lang boxed with
Sailor Burke, who is also quartered at
the captains, the spectators all re-
marked that Langs judgment of dis
tance was splendid.
81 came over here principally to see
the fight at Reno" said Lang. i
thought 1t would be the greatest fight
ing event ever held in the world. II
was a disappointment.
when Tommy Burns fought John-
son in Australia he made great mis-
take in going after the negro and try
ing to outslug him. Had he boxed
Johnson the way he did me, l have no
doubt but that he would have gone
twenty rounds. Burns is jolly good
boxer, and If he fights Johnson again
believe he will put up a much better
| brand of fighting.
johnson cut me up a wee bit apout
the eyes when we fought, and the po-
lice stopped it in the tenth round
was n comparative novice at that time
although l had defeated about twenty
five of my countrymen. Soon I'll get
another chance and Mr.. Johnson VIII
find me a wonderfully improved man,
said Lang.
Lang was a 4 to / favorite when
he met and defeated old Bob Fltz-
simmons "Fitz was easy for me, SAID
Lang. HE was too old to tackle a
young fellow like me. After the go
met Bob on the street in Sydney and
asked him how he liked my style % ol
milling I'm an old fellow now ana
YOU were too strong for me-, said he
Fitz, YOU know, is about so and l nave
Just passed the q mark"
1t would seem only natural that
Lang would want to learn as much
as he possibly can about Ketchel, the
next man on the program, but tho DIE
fellow apparently does not believe tha'
the middleweight champion has the
necessary class to cope with gooo
heavyweight.
"At Reno | saw lot of your best
fighting men," said Bill. "<etchel was
about a great deal and l sized him up
pretty well. However, you can't tell
a lot about fellow in his street
clothes. Everybody told me that
Ketchel was a wonderful man in the
ring.
i've got a knockout in both hands;
Ketchel is an open sort of fighter
understand, and If such is the case
most likely ! will win in punch
remarked Lang.
will do a great deal toward establish
ing his name all over the world and be
of particular help to him at home, be
cause the Australians have all reached
the conclusion that their men do not
class with the American boxers. BIZ
Souires' downfall brought about the
feeling, says Lang.

BLIND MAN is ARDENT
FAN AT ABILENE DIAMOND

ABILENE, Kas., Aug. 2.-The most
enthusiastic baseball fan in Kansas is
C. Gish of Abilene, jiano tuner, who IS
totally blind. He attends all the ball
games at Abilene and is we'll acqua1nt-
ed with the names of the players ana
the merits of each one on the field. Mr..
Gish can tell you how many balls or
strikes there are on a batter and how
many cuts on the side at bat. After the
game he can tell the features of the
game, and enjoys talking over the play
with his friends.
"How can 1 enjoy a ball game when 1
cannot see q play?" said Mr.. Gish.
'Well, I listen to what the people about
me are saying. I can tell every play
that is made providing there is not too
much noise. When the ball leaves the
bat I can generally tell where it is
knocked and who makes the putout.
Sometimes 1 hear people around me
asking how many strikes are on the
batter and ii they would ask me
could tell them, because always listen
to the umpire's decision. / cannot tell
when an infield play is made, but L get
that by asking someone who is near
me. can give a detailed account OF
every ball game I attend"
