BETTER BUSINESS !.
THROUGH THE SOUTa!

New York, Jan. 23.-Bradstreet's
Reviews says:
Trade under-currents are running a
little more freely in consonancc with
the progress of the season, but the i'm
provement is neither widespread nor
marked. While the larger centers re-
port that statesmen are sending in bet
ter orders for dry goods and kindred
lines, less important cities, with a few
exceptions, principally in the South,
agree that trade is not better than
fair to good.
"At the moment jobbers are busy on
early spring shipments and wholesale
trade has not as yet assumed an &C.
tive appearance. In fact, buyers are
still displaying a conservative atti
tude, preferring apparently to buy fire
quently, rather than in large volume al
any one time. This disposition, taker
in CONJUNCTION with the fact that stocks
must be light, augers well for a health,
undertone, but pending price re.adjust
ments, for which buyers seem to b
waiting, trade movements tend to b.
sporadic.
In industrial lines, little in the wa,
of improvements has developed.
Business failures in the Unite
States for the week ending January l
were 3O2, against 353 last week, 27
last year, 307 in 1909, 40S in 1908 an
252 in 1907. Business failures in Cal
ada for the week number 80, whic
compares with 33 last week and 4

TRAVEL BY AUTO TRAIN.
Paul Gilmore VIII Try a Theatrical
Innovation.

Paul Gilmore, who was at the Grand
last night in 1.-THE Mummy and the
Humming Bird" is planning an limo
walton. 1t is nothing more nor less
than the abandonment of the railroads
and the adoption of automobiles as a
means of travel while on tour.
Mr.. Gilmore has commissioned a well
known firm to build him fleet" of
automobiles in which he intends not
only to carry his company, but also,
in specially constructed car his bag
gage and entire scenic productions.
This fleet" will comprise in all, four
cars, three of them high powered tour
ing cars, provided with every convent
ence for comfort. and fitted with every
safeguard against adverse climatic
conditions that the skill and ingenui-
ty of the builder can devise, one of
them to be used for Mr.. Gilmores ad-
vance business representatives, arrang-
ed to carry large stock of printing,
etc, and the other two cars to convey
his company from city to city.
The fourth car is a marvel of COM
bination car and truck construction
and is designed to carry trunks of
of the company. as well as the scenery
which fits into grooves IS feet long on
each side of the car. In addition to
this it will carry a kitchen outfit as
| complete as any railroad diner, so that
when pressed for time or lured by
sylvan glades and messy banks, the
company may dine zen route or pic
nic'' on the road.
Mr.. Gilmore believes in being, as
far as possible, his own charge d. af-
fairs, and the executive of this pro-
ject will enable him to keep a still
closer eye on the details of his organi-
| cation as well rendering him indie
pendent of trains which like time and
tides wait for no man.
| Mr.. Gilmore will give his plan a try
out in Canada this spring and he after
ward will make a tour through the
west and to California by the same
means.
1.-THE Mummy and the Humming
Bird has been presented in Topeka
before by Mr.. Gilmore. 1t is a clever
| little play and Mr.. Gilmore is a clever
actor and a most agreeable gentleman.

KNIGHTS OF TABOR SUED
Claimed That ..the order' Failed to
Pay Sick Policy.

More than 100 colored people of
North Topeka are spending the day in
the court of Topeka listening to the
evidence in a case that threatens to
disrupt the prosperity of Macedonia
tabernacle No. SO, of the knights and
Daughters of Tabor. which, according
to the bylaws is a fraternal and bene-
ficiary order subordinate to the Inter
national Order of Twelve, Ineorpor-
ated. 1t is to recover a claim of $120
against this order that the faithful of
the flock are sitting in the damp court
room listening to evidence and hypo-
thetical questions which they do not
understand.
The Macedonia tabernacle No SO is
strictly North Topeka institution.
Its membership includes the infiuen-
tiaI ladies and gents of the North side
and many things about the by-laws
and constitution are being told which
the individual members did not pre-
viously understand. 1t may require
the remainder of the day to complete
the evidence. 1t may require several
days more for the jury to dissect the
evidence.
Some months ago one Rebecca
White was member of the Macedonia
crew in good standing. She owned a
neatly Autographed certificate and her
name was recorded on the books of the
order. Then Rebecca was taken sick.
For ten weeks her sufferings contin-
ued. Then the woman died. But in
that time the Macedonians did not
come to the rescue in manner which
the relatives believed it should. Com
plications arose over the payment of
the supposed $65 sick benefit and a
$55 funeral fund. Then w. w. Town
send and Ellen Reeves started trouble
in the courts Things which Town
send and the Reeves woman believe
are just and right are not in accord
ance with the officials Of the order.
This difference of opinion was proper
grounds for a lawsuit.
The Townsend-Reeves following
want the 1920. The company declines
to pay. The 100 interested spectators
are members of the organization. A
verdict for the benefit company, they
believe, will put their policies in the
discard and there is much anxiety and
no little fretting over the final out
come of the case. Some Is or 20
with esses have been called and the
taking of evidence is a laborious task.

Should this bill be passed. it will
practically prohibit storage. 1t is
claimed, and experts figure that it will
double the cost of poultry and eggs in
seasons of scarcity and cut the price
in half in the seasons of production,
thus operating to the injury of both
tie producer and consumer. Storage,
it is declared, brings uniform prices.
The National Poultry and Eggs assoc
