S. E. Cobb to Celebrate His
FIftieth Anniversary With
Only Vacation Ii, II Years
Prominent Banker and Financial Authority Will Fulfill
Promise-A Kansas Financial Worker for
Last SO Years.

most trying to Mr. Cobb-trying on
his physical and mental facilities. His
interest in his work, however, has
carried him thru until recently. when
he suffered a severe nervous break
down. Following this setback he
plunged into his responsibilities harder
than ever. Now comes his fiftieth
birthday and he will carry out the
pledge made to his family some time
ago.
Outside banking and business cir
cles, Topeka knows Samuel E. Cobb
best in his various war work activities.
In the midst of the strenuous financial
emergencies when a banker was ever
cognizantS of the national crisis. Mr..
Cobb was devoting his time outside
the bank TO war. drives and campaigns.
Put Kansas On Red Cross Map.
He was state chairman of the vari-
Gus Red Cross campaigns. His sue
cess in this patriotic activity is widely
KNOWN His efforts always will be
remembered. in Kansas and under his
leadership the. state became nationally
prominent in war work. He was state
treasurer of the United War Work
drive when nearly 100000 was col
lected and distributed. He is treas
urer of the State. Y. NJ. c. A, the Near
East and Armenian reliefs. the Jewish
relief and the Kansas Free Fair. He
was. instrumental in working out the
plans for, the purchase of the land on
Martins hill for the location of the
home and hospital of the Security
Benefit association.
These are only a few of the things
that S. e Cobb has done in public
matterst But they indicate the tre-
mendous. responsibilities he has been
carrying in addition to the presidency
OF the Bank of Topeka and the Pru-
dental Trust company.
Yet he will talk about none of them.
Mr. Cobb came to Topeka in 1909.
He was cashier of the Prudential bank
and secretary-treasurer of the Pru-
Dental Trust company, then located at
Seventh and Kansas avenues. In 1913
the Prudential bank was merged with
the Bank of Topeka and the Pruden-
tial Trust company became a part of
tht same institution with Scott Hop
kins as president. At that time Mr..
Cobb became vice president of the
kins died and Mr.. Cobb was made
president of the Trust company. In
1917.sat the death of John r. Mulvane,
Mr.. Cobb became president of the
Bank OF Topeka.
Previous to his arrival in Topeka
Mr.. Cobb was president of a bank at
Burns in Marion county and also of a
bank at Efdorado. For the last 36
yearsske hassbeen in the banking busi-
ness in Kansas. Probably no other
banker in the state Is so well acuuaint-
nor is there a banker in Kansas who
holds any more trust and confidence
than Samuel E. Cobb
During his absence his duties will
he assumed by F. c. Kaths, vice presi-

lowest for the month of December so

been uncommon. The high tempera-
lures are almost unprecedented. when

tana Wednesday night ranged from y

present. The sky was clear this morn
ing from Kansas to Canada, and from

Drafted in Senate.
Would Regulate Business Same
as Railway Commission.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Supervision
of the coal industry by the federal
trade commission probably will be
provided in a bill now being drawn by
Senator Calder, Republican, of New
York.
The proposed bill is the result of
Calder's report to the senate that coal
profiteering is a national disgrace"
partly responsible for the serious hous-
ing shortage, and is retarding recon
struction generally.
Calder's bill would call for creation
of a separate bureau of the federal
trade commission with which coal
operators, wholesalers, jobbers and re-
tailers would be compelled to file regu-
lar reports on the total tonnage pro-
duced and handled.
Prices, costs and profits. Seven bills
are now being drafted by Calder TO
carry out the recommendations of his
reconstruction report. These include
the measure on coal and the following
subjects:
1 Transportation to prevent Eek parte'

have retarded building and incited profi-
?, To abolish the cost plus re-construc-
ton system.
exemntfon to real estate mortgages which

Telephone Company's Figures Not
Used by Industrial Court.

Representatives of the industrial
court today outlined their summary of
the Topeka telephone rate case when
they appeared this weeR before the
city commission. In a s-atement to-
day by J. H. Engh. chief accountant,
he stated that the industrial court did
not use the telephone companys valu-
alton figures. Had these been used,
residence phones and the business rate
would have been sea month. e.
The Engh Report.
Engh in his analysis of statements
by court representatives, made the
following comment:
The experts of the court threw some
light upon the conclusions reached by the
court in its opinion In the telephone .SIs ease;
used by the court in finding the valuation
Rates Yield s.5 Per Cent.
The experts stated that the court cid not
add any such an amount as 100000 for go
ing value. They showed and proved that
the rates allowed yield $3.50 on the original
cost value of the company's property Of
S1.1T9.4I0, which amount is made up OF ST.
143, ,263. the bare bones value OF the property
plus $3G.20T for working capital. They also
stated that the rates would yield only 7fe
return on the value found by the court Of
81 400 900, which value was made up of ap-
proximately the following: ~
Original cost .............-....-$1 81, 143 .26j.OO
Working capital .......-..-..-.- jt'j69.OO
fishing business ............ 114,526 80
Appr eciation consideration
given to present day values
of the property .............. 1OOOOOOO
Total 81. .394 95S so
The experts stated that the value of ST.
4OO. 600 was $500, ,O00 less than the company S
value of $2.20S, ,S54, which the company
claims and which the experts say is the
value that the majority of supreme courts of
the land allow in such cases.
The court did not use the value claimed
by the company which was based on pres
ent day prices. but if it had telephone rates
in Topeka would range from $500 residence
to 5000 business.

Topeka Boys
Box in Pulpit
OF 2 Churches

It's all right with the pastors of
the First Presbyterian and Potwin
churches for the Boy Scouts to utilize
their pulpits for boxing and wrestling
matches on week days. The Rev. s. )
Estey and the Rev. H. L. Nelson, pas
tors respectively OF the two churches,
so informed the Scouts last evening
The two pastors and the Mems Broth
erhood of the Potwin church were
guests of the two scout troops COM
manded by Oran Layton, register OF
deeds, last night at the Potwin church.
Included in a full program of the
Scout stunts was a boxing bout
which was no ladylike affair-and a
wrestling match. The Rev. Mr.. Nell
sons pulpit, the boys declare, serves
as a fine ring" being enclosed on
three sides.
THAT was the best Boy Scout
demonstration 1 ever witnessed" de-
clared Doctor Estey, who was called
on for a speech after the Scout pro-
gram "And 1 admit that 1 especially
liked those boxing and wrestling
matches"
Doctor Estey comm ended Mr.. Lay
ton and the boys highly for the ef-
ficiency shown in executing the scout
manual, and made an appeal to the
men of the church to show a greater
interest in the boys, and to share the
work of experimenting the Boy
Scouts. Mr.. Layton in introducing
the program made an appeal for volu-
teers, declaring the Scouts in his com
mand had increased to more tnah
fifty, and it was necessary TO oivloe
the number.
The boys first stunt would have
done credit to a real circus-a
pyramid in which there were dozen
Boyles, on top. At a signal. the
pyramid collapsed and after the
Isc1fmmage Johnny was laid out-ap-
parently. A wig-wag message sum
moned Senior Scout Patrol Leader
Balfour Jeffrey with first aid Kit.
First aid for a broken arm, an
nounced Mr. Layton, and hush over
came the audience. Most everybody
believed it was the real thing. But
after spIints and bandages and sling
had been put in place Johnny came up
smiling. 1t was all make believe.
Young Jeffrey also demonstrated first
aid methods in respiration, to be used
in case of drowning.
The boxing bout was staged Dy
Dave Swearingen and Junior Jackson.
The fifty odd boys in the audience
cheered their respective favorite and
the boxers evidently were ambitious to
display their punch. Time was called
after one round. The Fisher twins
Richard and Williams-sons of the
