ARTHUR CAPPER SUED.
Advertising solicitor Charges That
$7,1OO Commissions Are Unpaid.

Charging that $7,100 of commissions
upon advertising obtained by him for
the Capper publications have not been
paid Roy o. Housed brought suit
against Arthur Capper in the Shawnee
county district court this morning to
recover that amount. The sum named,
he AYERS, is the balance of his com
missions still due, after allowing for
bad collections and lapsed contracts in
what was an original total of $685.
1914 of advertising which he sold for
Mr.. Capper between october 4, 1907,
and December 5, 1909. Housed was a
travelling representative of the Capper
publications and was, he claims, en-
titled to 80 per cent of all business
secured.
Housel states in his petition that when
he went to work for Mr.. Capper in 1907
a verbal agreement was made that he
should travel in territory to be assign
ed him, soliciting advertising business
upon the commission basis named. This
work he continued, he says, until De-
cember 5, 1909, when he was dismissed
without notice. It has been since that
time that he has had difficulty in OBJ
tanning the payment of the balance of
the money due aim. Payments were to
be made as collections came in from
the business he solicited, but as Capper
has possession of the accounts he has
no means of ascertaining the extent of
| the collections.
From his direct personal solicitation,
Housed AYERS, he obtained advertising
tc the amount of $sS, 1914, while about
| 81, 0G0 worth more was sent in by mail
as a result of his solicitation. He has
eceived in payment of commissions the
sum of $9,097.16. The balance of 81 ,10t
| is the figure, according to his own COM
putation, of the balance due. He says
| that he frequently has demanded set
| tlement which he has been unable te
| get. He asks an order from the court
/ hooks and :
i be brought into court for the purpose
| of determining the amount due.
