ASK new CHARTER
Frisco Lines Make Application
to Kansas Board.
ReOrganized. Road Is Capital.
lied at $45O.O0O,000.

Application for a new charter for
the reorganized Frisco railway COM
pany was sought in Kansas, this after
room, when petition was filed with
the state charter board for admission
Kansas as a foreign corporation. It
Is chartered under the laws of ms
souri,, a charter having been granted
the reorganization committee by the
Missouri board early this month.
Under the reorganization. plans as
outlined in the petition, the company
is capitalized at $50 million dollars.
Kansas investments of the company
will total $7,266,557, the present hold
ings of the railroad in this state. No
extensive betterments or extensions
are specified in the petition. With the
petition for admission in Kansas as a
foreign corporation, the company gave
the state a certified check for S3,710,
the legal charter fee in Kansas under
the specified capitalization.
The Frisco was admitted in Kansas
in 1896, according to present records
in the office of j. T. Botkin, Secre-
tary of state. Recent receivership
troubles of the railroad resulted in
the sale of the property. The reor-
ganization committee has rechartered
the company and it was necessary to
secure permission from the state
charter board to do business in Kan
sas. Both the former company and
the reorganized corporation were ad-
mitted as Missouri corporations

STOCKS ON BOOM
Increased Prices and Big Sales
ON Stock Exchange.
Steel Big Factor in Weeks
Upward Swing.

New York. Aug. 26.-Increased ac-
tivity at higher price levels was the
distinguishing feature of the stock
market week, sales in the five full
days with two sessions of 100000 to
100000 shares, approximating A.
100000 shares. OF this total United
States Steel contributed almost 20 per
cent on its advance to the new record
of 81 Is.
Steei's strength, more than any 9TH
er factor, furnished the motive power
for the up-swing which at times was
reminiscent of last years boom in
war brides Buyings of Steel was
evidently of a confident character and
seemed to be based in part On some
thing more than the state of that in
dustry.
Other Industrials.
Other industrials, as well as coppers,
rose to best quotations of recent
months, the movement in metals being
accompanied by highly favorable trade
reports and increased dividends, actual
or in prospect. 1t is understood in
metal circles that the largest pro-
ducers of copper have contracted for
foreign sales running into middle of
1917.
Munitions and equipments were
again responsive to speculative condi-
lions which indicated a further shift
ing to other specialties, and the auto
mobile group was under restraint
partly in consequence of the new
financing announced by the WHY'S
Overland company. SeIni-war descrip-
tons were irregular, tho higher in the
main.

which on the surface, at least, seemed
less promising at the closing of Fri

In the broad domain of finance
notable developments of the week, in
cluded the contamination of another

of the new British note issue with in
dications of a large over-subscription.

CLAIMS GAG RULE
Otis L. Benton Says Congressman
Connolly Is in Caucus.

Randall, Kan, Aug. 26.-Charging
that his opponent. Congressman John
R. Connolly, entered a secret caucus
of southern Democrats and has been
bound by the congressional gag rule,
Otis L. Benton, Republican congress
siopal nominee, pleaded with Sixth
district voters today to make a
change. Benton told his audience in
the Jewell county town that Connolly
had voted with the Democratic ad-
ministration in the passage of a tariff
measure that means ruin to the farm
ers.
I'VE are practically upon a free
trade basis in the products of the soil
and livestock produced in Kansas
declared Benton. Mr.. Connolly, after
going into a secret caucus with the
Democrats of the south, Immediately
following the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Wilson, has voted consistently
with the Democratic party in making
the present Underwood tariff law
Had it not been for the European war,
in my opinion, this country would
have been in the throes of a financial
depression similar to the one that ex-
listed during Grover Cleveland's last
administration, from 1898 to 1896"
Benton was the principal speaker
at the baseball tournament and an
nual reunion in Randall. Today was
Republican day and the Sixth district
congressional nominee delivered the
principal speech. A large crowd from
Jewell and Mitchell counties attended
the meeting and Bentons attack on
the Democratic tariff measure was
loudly applauded.

ASKS FOR LEGISLATIVE AID

Declaring that the city crematory
served only about one-sixth of the
population of Topeka, that the anti
quated method of accounting by the
city officials made fertilization
against depreciation impossible and
that the crematory is worked no more
than one-sixth of its capacity, c. A
Forter. superintendent of the crema-
tory, today appealed to members of
the Commercial club for aid in getting
relief through the state legislature
Startling stories of the immense waste
of the United States government and
residents of Topeka made possible by
the present total waste of garbage
burned in the crematory were unfold
ed by Mr.. Forter.
First, by an act of the legislature
Mr. Forter wishes to get permission 10

sal municipal garbage service, free
Second, he desires a new plant at a
cost of about $4,000 erected that viii

conserve that part OF the garbage
which may be used as fertilizer and
also as grease for soap and like pack
ing house products. The present
crematory is unable to produce any
thing but waste, he declares.
ut will not be long until new wag-
ons will be needed and repairs will be
be demanded at the crematory," said
Mr.. Forter. with the present system
of accounting it is impossible for
city official to guard against depre-
citation by establishing a depreciation
fund. The levy is at its limit now. We
have no reserve fund upon which we
could draw"
Establishment of universal NUM-
cipal service and the building of "a
plant that could make a part of the
garbage useful would pay Cor itself in
Il short time, Mr.. Forter declared. Fl
the present plant is used to Its capacity
it will merely burn up the garbage and
not be an asset in any way. he stated
