AFTER OIL FAKES
State Officials in Crusade
Against Manhattan Agents.
Threaten Arrests-One Com
pany's Unit Dream Had Kick

Blue sky officials launched a cru
SADIE against Manhattan oil stock
statesmen today. Some of the most
vague and dreamy promotion schemes
unfolded to state officials in months
were related in connection with recent
oil stock selling enterprises in Riley
county, it was declared. Several ar
rests are to be made under the felony
section of the states blue sky law.
So anxious have Kansans been to
buy any kind of speculative securities
that the widest and most impossible
plans seem to have met instant sue
cess. One company which operated
thru agents in Manhattan sold units
in a royalty company. The company
owned one-fourth of a royalty right
of one-eighth of the oil produced on
a tract of land. The company pro-
posed to issue five million units. I'm
der this plan a shareowner would re-
ceive one five millionth of one-fourth
interest in one-eighth royalty. In
other words if the producing COM
pany produced eighty million barrels
of oil which sold at an average of So
a barrel, the $160,00G,000 would re-
turn one dollar to the owner of each
unit.
One representative of the blue sky
department in Topeka today told state
officials of a canvass of farmers in sew

MUST CLEAN UP!
Nine Topeka Eating Places
Closed Temporarily by State.
Investigations, City CO-Operat-
ing, Still on Today.

How Topeka hotels and restaurants
stand in the way of cleanliness will
probably be known in a short time
as the result of the campaign being
conducted by Walter A. Clark, state
hotel commissioner. and G. V. Denton,
of the city food department. Wednes-
day nine eating and rooming houses
in Topeka were closed as a result of
the Investigations. Further inspec-
lions this morning did not result in
more business firms closing.
A recent campaign in Kansas City
conducted by Clark resulted in the
closing of fifty-five eating houses
there. Other cities have also felt the
blow of the hotel inspectors investiga-
tons. 1t is probable that the major
ity, if not all the eating houses closed
here Wednesday, will open again as
soon as a thoro cleanup has been
effected.
The campaign here was the most
drastic ever conducted in the city by
the state authorities and was expected
to result in a general improvement of
all lines of business. The places on
which Clark placed his ban were:
Mike Douris. restaurant 414 Kansas
avenue, ordered to quit serving meals until
the building is put in sanitary condition;

Mines Will RUN |!
That Is UItimatum Handed
Down by Oklahoma Governor.
Public "DamnabIy Disguised"
With Strikes, Newman Says.

McAlester, Okla. Oct. 29.-''Take it
from me, the Oklahoma mines are go
ing to rum" declared Governor Ro-
bertson just before the noon recess at
the coal conference here today, called
by the governor in an effort to avert
the coal strike Saturday.
After three hours deadlock in
which fuel and labor questions were
hotly debated the conference failed to
reach d conclusion.
The governors assertion delivered
with-a pparent confidence of ability to
make it stick" left labor, operators
and the public mystified.
Public was represented from all
parts of the state. One hundred
miners were present and about fifty
members of the operators association.
A. E. Newman of Frederick, speak
ing for the public, declared the pub
lie is heartily tired and damnably dis
gusted with strikes"
1t is problematical whether the
afternoon session will bring a definite
agreement or a statement from the
governor in respect to his assertion
this morning.
