KANSAS FLOUR MILLS MERGED
Company With Capital of 100000
Granted a Charter.

Company With Capital of 100000
Granted Charter.
Topeka, Kansas-The Kansas Flour
Milling company, with a capital stock
of 100000, was granted a charter
by the state. The new company is a
merger of five large milling concerns
at Wellington, Great Bend, Arkansas
City, Enterprise and Kansas City,
Kas.
E. 2. Moses of Great Bend, one of
the leading organizers of the new
company, declared yesterday the or.
ganization is not in the nature of a
trust and is not organized to control
the prices of -four in any way.
'The proposition is simple" he
said, "the milling industry of Kansas
is one of the most important of any
that we have. But owing to the fact
that up to the present time all the
mills have had limited capital and
capacity they have not been able to
pursue a progressive campaign for
selling the Kansas product. Our COM
pany expects to create new demands
and to successfully compete with the
dour made in other sections of the
United States"

FILES AGAINST NATIONAL
CONCERN AT DAYTON, o.
TO END "SAvAGE COMPETITIONS
Alleged Most of Products Of Com.
pany's Rivals are in Graveyard"
In the National Fac
tory.

Cincinnati, Ohio - Suit was filed
in the United States circuit court
here against the National Cash Reg
lister company, of Dayton, Ohio,
charging that the company is in con-
spiracy in restraint of trade, and that
it be enjoined from further carrying
on such illegal practices as are set
forth in the petition.
The government does not seek tc
destroy the National Cash Register
company as a corporation, nor to in
terfere with the legitimate business
of the company, but asks that it be
prohibited from selling cash registers
and other registering devices in 6
manner that would prevent competi
ton.
The suit was filed by United States
District Attorney Sherman T. Nc
Pherson, who was assisted by Attor.
ney o. E. Harrison, representing
the interstate commerce commission.
Those named as defendants are the
Cash Register company and % off,
GERS, directors and sales agents of the
company.
One of the main charges contained
in the petition is that the company
sold cash registers below the cost of
production in various instances where
competition was rife.
The individuals named as defend
ants are the following:
John A. Patterson, president of the
company; E. A. Deeds, w. S. Dipus,
Robert Patterson, F. S. Oswald, S. w.

Competitors Products Graveyard"
Washington. = Attorney General
Wickersham, in a statement on the
equity suit against the National Cash
Register company declared that the
government did not seek dissolution
of the corporation, but ito compel fail
competition and to restrain the acts
of savagery heretofore employed and
now being directed against the few
remaining competitors" He. said the
defendant concern had succeeded in
running and destroying more than 15a
cash register companies, thereby
controlling 95 per cent of the trade.
The attorney general declared il
would be impossible to restore former
conditions through dissolution oil
the concern because there was hard
ly a vestige left of any of the ruined
companies outside of the graveyard
of the defendant company at Day
ton" The graveyard" is described
in the petition as room at the fac
tory of the National Cash Register
company at Dayton where were dis
played registers of competing com
panies, which, it is charged, had been
forced out of business by alleged il,
legal methods.

VI. l DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
lions. The method of the present ma
tlonal administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller, which is a backward
step. There should be no limit to a
corporation doing large and legiti-
mate business, such as would be pos
s1ble under the licensing plan which
| favor, writes w. L. Douglas, former
governor of Massachusetts, IN the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps.
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum.
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who. have no capital at
IA, buI WHO TSC0lN0 uduUSOul0 SdI-
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law 1t is
my opinion there should be depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
In this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made so clear,
plain and definite that it could not be
misunderstood. 1t should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by a public &C
countaint. There should be board
Of examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just as our ma
tional banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the offices and ex-
anime the records of all the direc-
torates Of these companies.

sons. For nineteen of these deaths
the Mcnamara brothers were indict
ed.
J. B. Mcnamara was on trial spe
officially for the murder of Charles J

1t is expected District Attorney
John D. Fredericks will ask for life
Imprisonment for James B. McNa
mara, the confessed murderer, and
probably fourteen years for his
brother. The mems lives are con
sidered saved. The great contention
that the Los Angeles Times was not
dynamited is dead beyond resurrec
ton or argument.
HE was counselled to confess be
cause that was the best thing he
could do, in the opinion of counsel,
said Attorney Clarence S. barrow
chief counsel. 81 will say now that
there was no other reason or motive
in it. I've studied this case fol
months. 1t presented stone wall
Darrow's statement was made as
looking squarely in the faces of the
charges that the recent arrest OF
Burt H. Franklin, an investigator EN-
ployed by the defense, and two 9th

situation untenable save by con
fession of the prisoner.
barrow also denied that external
pressure was exerted from union la
Dor socialist sources as General
Harrison Gray Otis charged in a for
NAL statement, or that the municipal
election to be held next Tuesday in
which Job Hartman, one of the de
fense's counsel, is candidate fol
mayor, carried any weight. 1t was
learned that Hartman was not con
suited at all in the deliberations.
A brotherly affection bordering or
worship, it became known, brought
about James McNamara's confession
A desire to save his brother from the
necessity of confessing anything al
all held back day after day the wore
that would end the trial.

ployed all kinds of drugs, the doctor
acknowledged that he did not believe
1t was in his power to cure me.
