BREWSTER TAKES

. - tContIn0e0 from fSEe One.b
following conference between mem
bers of the attorney generals staff
and Fred S. Jackson, an attorney
for the public utilities commission.
IRckson is said to have also been in
tkf&sted in the bidding IN thc@road at
TIA recept Asale in Leavenworth. At
that timeSa number of investors were
said to have been induced to put mon
ey into the projection the theory that
the line might be junked at much
higher price than that asked in the
Pollock decree saving the road to the
patrons. Many of the patrons agreed
to subscribe undkr the belief that ade-
quate service would be provided. In
vestors in Topeka and other towns
have since withdrawn their subscrip-
ttQns.
The suit today adds further COM
plication to the troubles of the read.
In the state house today it was de-
clared that the purpose of the suit was
to save the road to the patrons and to
also prosecute claims of violations of
the state antitrust laws.
Still Taking Subscriptions.
81 have about $4,000 already sub
scribed on the Topeka resubscription
to the Leavenworth & Topeka railroad
purchase fund" T. c. Whiteket stated
today, land by tonight I expect that
the full $4,000 will have been resub-
scribed.''
T. c. Whiteker is the man who is
now in charge of the obtaining of sub
scriptions to fill Topeka's quota of the
purchase price of the road
Apparently the farmers and mer-
chants and elevator men who live
along the line of the L. & r. are to
obtain their fondest desire-that of
buying and operating the road re-
CARELESS of strings put on it's title by
the court. The farmers say that the
ruling by Judge Pollock has no bear
ing on the reason they made their
subscriptions to the road. why, we
want the road to operate it, declared
one prominent farmer living near
Ozawkie. TT won't do us any good to
have it junked whether by Wells or
by johnson and Trap. We want the
road to operate and carry our pro-
ducts to market"
1t is reported that o. p. Byers, pres
ident of the Anthony & Northern rail-
road, has just completed an inspec-
ton trip over the L. & T. and has said
that in his opinion it can be run and
at profit.
IT e. Whitaker said this morning
that many of the Topeka subscribers
tosthe old purchase fund have renew
ed their subscriptions on the new list.
