CHARTER IS LOST.
National Hotel One of $50 Cor
poratiOns ON New Fist. !
State License Revoked by Sec
rotary of State.

Charters of $50 domestic and for
eign corporations in Kansas were can
celled today under a sweeping order
of the state charter board. The char
tiers were wiped from the records OF
the secretary of states office because
the corporations had failed to make
reports as required by law or had
failed to pay fees. One Topeka cor
poration-the National Hotel COM
pany-lost its charter thru failure to
file the required report.
Each year a number of charters are
dropped from the rolls. The annual
clean up was made today. Some of
the corporations may later secure re-
instatements. Action by the state
board was taken On the entire list of
$50 companies when a statement was
filed by j. T. Botkin, secretary of
state. This report showed that the
companies had failed to comply with
provisions of the state law regarding
corporations.
Included in the list of companies
wiped from official corporate existence
in today's order are 290 domestic cor
porations. These concerns are strictly

ness entirely within the state. A total
Of sixty foreign corporations were also
dropped from the rolls. &These COM
panies are organized under laws of
other states, but had been given per-
mission to do business in Kansas.

ARTICLE CAUSES TALK
Senator Lodge Credited With League
of Nations Article.

Paris, Dec. 18.-Considefable dis
cussion is still under way regarding
a special article written for the Matir,
credited to Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, which appeared in Sundays
edition under a New York date line.
In this article. Lodge is quoted as
favoring establishment of a league of
nations allied control of raw ma
terials until the central powers are
admitted to the league and payment
of the costs of the war by the central
powers.
The question of costs is disposed Of
in point four of the article credited to
Lodge, which contains twenty-one
points. In this point Lodge is said to
maintain that the central powers must
bear the cost of the war, that all pub
lie and private resources must be en-
p1oyed toward that end and that the
allies should control all enemy
finances until the payments are COM
pleted.
Belgium, France and Serbia would
be the first to be reimbursed
Point 20 favors international arbi-
tration thru a league of nations, =.
which the central powers would not
be admitted until they had completely
satisfied all the obligations of the
peace treaty and solid establishment
of all free Institutions had been effect
ed. Control of all raw materials until
the central powers are admitted to the

Primed for a Battle.

New York, Dec. 1S.-More than one
axe will be present at the joint meet

to be held in New York January Is,
according to present Indications.
And they will not all be present just
for grinding purposes, either. Ban

special use on Harry Frazee. while
Frazee has one made especially for

The minor leagues are going to be

Sentiment is so strong for a one
man national commission, that it is
generally recognized the result will be
close, even with Ban Johnsons inf1u-
ence thrown to the side of the old
three-hsaded supreme court. If the
National leaguers and that section OF
the American league which favors a
CHANGE win the fight, the minors wiz
probably have great deal to say re-
garding the commissioner and his
powers.
AS the matters now stand the minor
leagues are allowed a voice in the
commission when a minor league is
involved.
The president of the interested
league and the secretary of the Ma
tional Association of Professional
Baseball leagues each has a vote,
which in cases of this kind gives the
present commission five members
Johnson'S gradually crumbling hold
on the magnates of his own league and
the undisputed antagonism of the Ma
tional leaguers made it practically GER
tain that some change will be effected
for the National feels keenly the af-
fair which developed over the recent
Perry. case, which resulted in the COM
missions awarding of the player to
Boston and the subsequent refusal of
Johnson and the Philadelphia Ath-
letics to accept the award. This is the
main reason for the battle to supplant
the three present commissioners with
one man.

FAIR HAS MONEY
Eastman Makes Report on Big
Free Exhibition of Topeka.
Crowds Last Fall Largest in
Organizations HistOry.l

One more free fair has passed into
history in Kansas. Once more has
the free fair idea proven it's FEAST
bility and its practice 1ity-this time
in spite of a general condition of I'M
stability and uncertainty in the world
at large.
At a meeting of the Kansas Free
Fair association at the office of L. M.
Penwell, president, Tuesday night
Secretary Eastman asserted that the
attendance at the Kansas Free Fair
in Topeka last fall was estimated at
265,00 persons, this figure showing
an increase of more than 1876, 900 over
the first free fair in 1915 and fully
$4,000 more than the attendance in
1917.
Old Debts Are Paid.
Secretary Eastman's report for the
year showed that the Kansas Free
Fair association has paid off two
thirds of its efore-the-free-fair in
debtedness and that it has s3,347.45
cash on hand with which to meet the
preliminary expenses of the 1919 Kan
sas Free fair.
The report showed that practically
every depa rtment of the fair was well
up to the standard set in previous
years, and that in one or two depart
ments an appreciable increase of both
exhibits and interest was apparent.
1t was stated in the report that the
association has received assurance
from the powers that be in Washing
ton that the United States government
exhibit which was a feature of the
fair this year will be in place again
next year. This exhibit is housed in
a special building, just erected on the
grounds before the fair this year, and
which is permanent part of the
association property.
Many Improvements Made.
Besides the building known as the
government exhibit building" two
new hog barns were added to the
equipment this year and the grand
stand was well repaired. The report
limited that in the near future another
new building will be erected on the
grounds for the purpose of housing
the boys and girls department eX-
hibits, which have grown to such an
extent in the year since the depart
