BUCKS RULE
GIVE COMMERCIAL CLUB EXAM
PIE OF REAL ENTHUSIASM.
II the Business Men Would Catch
Step with the Kids Something
Would he Popping for
Abilene.

Eight kids who hold membership
In the Commercial club formed the
working nucleus of the organization
last night and gave the city the first
enth usiastic Commercial club meet
ing that 1t has had for several
moons. Secretary Poe had several
matters of real importance to bring
before the organization bat when
the hour of meeting came only three
business men were present. Eleven
members are necessary to form
quorum for doing business. The
propositions for boosting the town
could be left over to next month or
next year as far as that is concerned
but the club had contracted bills
which were due and had to be paid
and a quorum was necessary to pass
on these bills. The three business
men rounded up the only members
In sight-eight boys-and allowed
the bills. The men were ready to
adjourn then but the boys held the
majority and the meeting didn't ad-
journ. For an hour the boys gave
vent to their ideas on running
town and on making Commercial
club attractive enough to get It's
members out to a meeting.
The kids did justice to the mem
ory of ffDemosthenes In the forensic.
line and the air was fairly well
churned when they were through
but unlike most of the meetings
which have been held in that room
there was something to show FOR
lit. The boys decided at the first
Jump that the uninviting rooms had
a psychological effect on the mem
bers which tended to keep them at
home when they ought to be attend
ing the club meetings. They there
fore decided to recarpet the rooms
to hang some pictures on the wall
and to buy new player piano. They
appointed committees to look after
the financing of the new improve
ments and the committees reported
in fifteen minutes that both the
moving picture shows had consented
to give "benefit" programs next
week for the cause. The kids would
also see to selling ice cream cones
and other dainties at the market
day sales and band concerts during
1.-The summer. They promised they
get the money-and the improve
ments are to be made as the money
is raised to pay for them. Eign'
kids had pledged themselves to DC
responsible for almost $1,000 for the
purpose of trying to stir up interest,"
among the business men in theiI
own organization. The club rooms
Ehave been well filled in times pas
with business men who have money
and at such meetings the club hal
not been able to scare up ten cent
for a canning factory or for othel
institutions which would mean grea
things for the city.
What the Commercial club needs
is a bunch of men who will catcl
step with the young bucks and marcl
. in the procession. The boys who di'
the majority voting last night were

WANTED SOME ALCOHOL
AND COULDN'T GET 1T

Conner Davies had a very, very
sick boy at his home in Concordia
last week, and one morning the
principal hope of relief was an alco-
hol rub. And yet it's impossible to
buy a drop of alcohol in Kansas
legally! Conner frankly declared
that day and you could hardly
blame him, that he felt like voting
for wide open saloons, with brewer
les and distilleries in every county
in the state.

Publicity viii Begin Over the Stat
About June 4.

The new liquor law will go into
force in Dickinson county about the

Attorney Hurd, who returned from
the meeting of the county attorneys
of the state at Topeka yesterday
The law becomes effective as soon

C0CO-COLA CASE
In HIGH COURT
NASHVILLE SYRUP COMPANY APP.
PEALS FROM DECISION OF
JUDGE SANFORD.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 23.-The Coca
Cola case, familiar to Nashville court
officials and attorneys who practice
in federal court, reached the federal
circuit court of appeals Wednesday,
according to advices received in
Nashville by attorneys interested in
the case. The Coca-Cola Co., of At
lanta, brought suit against the Nash
Vile Syrup Co, alleging that in the
sale of "Fletcher's Coca-Cola," their
trade mark was infringed uron.
Judge Sanford decided that the Nash
vile Syrup Co had infringed upon the
rights of the complainant and award
ed damages and an injunction, which
was asked, following which the case
was taken to the court of appeals by
the defendant.
The Nashville Syrup Co. claims
that the use of the printed words
coca cola" is merely descriptive and
is no infringement of the Coca-Cols
Company's well known trade mark.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 23-
Judge John K. Shields, chief justice
of the supreme court of Tennessee,
was today elected senator Of the
United States for the long term, be-
ginning March 4, next on the seventh
ballot. He received sixty-nine and
Charles T. Gates, Jr,, received sixty
one votes.
! The republicans joined with the
regulars and a number of independ-
ents and the result was the choice
of Shields.
] 1t was a foregone conclusion after
the failure of the fusionists to name
Enloe on yesterday that Shields
would be elected today. The effort
to rally the broken fragments OF the
fusionists to Gates proving unavail-
ing. Shells had enough independ-
ents and republicans to. elect him
with the solid vote of the regulars,
which was given to him without ex-
ception.
The election of Shields is taken to
mean that the fusion conorol Of the
Legislature has probably passed 1t
is understood that republicans voted
for Shields upon the understanding
that Tom Taylor would be reelected
treasurer and a regular would be
chosen to succeed Dibrell as comp.
troller The election of Shields is
construed as a reversal of the con.
troll of the legislature which was in
the hands of fusionists when it was
organized. II may mean that there
will be complete re-allignment in
both houses to he followed by the re
peal or radical amendment Of the
election laws and the election of Tom
Taylor, a republican, on the state
board of elections to succeed James

Robert l.. Taylor for the third time
for governor. In 1902 Judge Shields
was elected to the supreme court
from East Tennessee to succeed Da-
yid L. Snodgrass. In 1904 he was
elected a delegate at large to the dem.
ocratic national convention at st.
Louis when Alton B. Parker was nom
mated. ..s..s
In 1910 Judge Shields headed the
independent judiciary ticket, running
on the platform of free and untram-
melted judiciary, free from the DOM
ination of politics. He was elected
by $4,000 majority and was later
chosen by his colleagues as chief JUS
tice of the court.
In the two great campaigns of 1910
Judge Shields was the leader of the
anti-Patterson forces in the state, and
probably contributed more to the de-
feat Of Patterson and his elimination
from the politics Of the state than
any other two men. In those contests
he scathingly arraigned Patterson,
charging him with corruptly attempt
ing to influence, the judgments of the
court of last resort In the recent
contest for the senate Shields was &C.
lively backed by Patterson, John L
Cox, Dibrell and the other leaders of
the old discredited liquor gang. I'm
til two months ago 1t was never sus.
pected by the public that there was
any understanding between the reg.
ulars" and Judge Shields and the an.
nouncement that he was the candi.
date of the Patterson forces came as
a great shock to the former friends
and supporters Of the Judge. In the
ballot today four-fifths of the votes
that elected hi mwere cast by men
who have always heretofore bitterly
opposed Judge Shields and his polit
ical interests.
Judge Shields is universally recog
nized as one of the ablest lawyers
and greatest judges in the state. Ev
err since he has been a member of the
court Of last resort he has been its
dominant factor.
He is most charming and magnet
ic man and numbers his strong per
sonal friends and followers by the
hundreds He is about fifty years o.
age and has recently married.

WILSON'S TRUST
KILLING IDEAS ARE
PUT INTO STATE BILL
SWEEPING REFORMS IN CoRPoR-
ALTON REGULATIONS IN JER-
SEY AN INDICATION.
GUILT is MADE PERSONAL
Monopoly Is Defined, Watered Stock
and Holding Concerns Barred and
Jail Sentences Provided With
Heavy Fines Additional.

TRENTON, N j., Jan. 23.--What
is considered the harbinger of Pres
ident-elect Wilson's ideas in the way
of national legislation to curb the
trusts was incorporated in a series OF
bills introduced into the state senate
this afternoon by Senator ]. Warren
Davis, of Salem county, democratic
leader.
The measures were drafted, at d.
rection of the governor by Chancellor
Edwin Robert Walker and former SUI
preme Court Justice Bennett Van
SICKLE. Their purpose is to rid this
state of its so-called stigma mother
of trusts"
The bills were completed abou.
week ago when they we're turned over
to Mr. Wilson. He kept them in his
possession until shortly before the
session was called toorder this even
ing. Then Mr.. Davis went to the ex-
ecutive Office and got them.
These acts are designed to put an
end to trusts and monopolies under
the laws of New jersey" declared
Gov Wilson in prepared statement
describing the measures, "and l con-
fidently predict that they will accom-
plish that much desired result"
Though the principle of the bills.
which seek to prevent monopoly, un-
derselling in local markets, mergers,
the existence of holding companies
and the issuance Of watered stock, Is
one which the governor emphasized
repeatedly during the national cam
paign, he declared tonight that the
proposed legislation had been drawn
with the conditions in the state Of
New Jersey alone in mind
These bills embody my ideas Of
the way New Jersey should deal with
the question" he said National
Legislation might have to be differ
emit"
The bills are concrete reply to the
criticims directed against Gov. VIII
son in the recent campaign by Col
Roosevelt and others, who held that
he had never taken definite step IN
the direction of freeing New Jersey
of the name Mother of Trusts"
In other years Gov, Wilson has had
an unfriendly legislature. This year
it is democratic in both branches, and
it is certain that the corporation bills
will be speedily enacted into law.
: The first measure in the series d
entitled "An act to define trusts and
to provide for criminal penalties and
punishment of corporations, firms and
