ASK BIC DAMAGES
Claude Knox Files Suit to Col
Iect $4,000.
Claims Garage Business and
Reputation Are Ruined.

A suit to collect $4,000 damages
from C. A. Vancil, 1920 Laurel ave-
nue., wall paper man. and his son,
Carl Vancil, proprietor of a garage in
North Topeka was filed in the dis
trict court today by Claude Knox, a
local auto mechanic, who claims his
garage business and his reputation
were ruined because the defendants
were instrumental in causing his ar
rest on an embezzlement charge and
circulated stories that he had stolen an
automobile.
Knox alleges that he was the owner
of a Paige car, which he drove to
Kansas City, January 5. to visit his
mother, who was ill. He asserts that
while he was away. the Vancils went
to the county attorney and asked for
a complaint charging him with steal
ing the car. but that it was refused.
They then went to Mrs. I. H. Bechtel-
heimer, owner of rooming house, he
says, and assured he- that he had left
the city with the intention of beat
ing" his board bill. He says it was on
their representation that she had him
arrested. When his case came to trial
in the city court, however. he was dis
charged.
X. C. Police Took Auto.
Meanwhile, he asserts, the defend
ants took the warrants and went to
Kansas City, where they presented
them to the police with the assurance
that Knox was in Kansas City with a
stolen car. He says the police took
his car, which they are still holding.
and that he was obliged to return to
Topeka on the train. He alleges that
they also went to his room and
searched his papers, taking away GER
tain valuable documents which they
still have in their possession, IT is
claimed.
Knox declares that the Vancils well
knew that he had not stolen the car
or tried to evade the payment of his
board bill, and that their intention
was to get from him the Paige car.
He asserts that his garage business
has been ruined as a result of his
prosecution and that his reputation
has been sullied in Kansas City, his
former home, and in Topeka.
Knox is said to have purchased the
car from the younger Vancil.

DISPOSE OF over STOCK
Charles l.. Mitchell Gives Report on
Oklahoma City Meeting.

OnafleS IL. Mitchell OIlVcS report on
Oklahoma City Meeting.
Charles L. Mitchell, secretary and
sales manager of Crane & Company,
and president of the Midwest division
of the National Association of Sta
TONERS and Manufacturers, has re-
turned from a conference in Okla
homa City, attended by the leading
stationers of the five states which con-
stitute the midwest division of the
national observation-disclosures Kan
sas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkan-
sas.
The most important problem dis
cussed was that of the stationers and
office outfitters of these five states
helping each other to dispose of any
of the over-stock which any of the
dealers might have, as well as thoro
discussion of the problem of the cost
Of doing business under the present
conditionS-the problem of co-Opera
tive buying, making it possible for
the stationers in this zone to buy in
larger quantities and give the trade
in this zone the benefit of such guam
tity purchases, and other problems
vital to those who are interested in the
stationery and office furniture bust
ness in these five states today.
The stationers and office furniture
dealers of Kansas stand as a unit in
their desire and determination to give
the public the benefit of any factory
replacement values, and this is a large
problem to many of those carrying
larger stocks of stationery and office
furniture equipment" Mitchell said
today. kansas has a right to be
proud of having a number of the larg-
est and best stationery and office fur
niture equipment houses in the United
States, not only FROM the standpoint
of the stock which they carry, but
from the standpoint of the complete
ness of their line"
In the larger citiee, the different
factories maintain their own selling
agencies, whereas in this western
country, a purchaser can find COM
plete line of stationery and office fur
niture all housed and sold in the same
building, and the five states compris-
ing the midwest division of the Ma
tional Association of Stationers and
Manufacturers can boast of having the
most complete stationery and office
furniture stores in the whole United
States.
At this convention held in Okla
homa City, it was decided to hold the
annual meeting in Kansas City, Mo,
March 16 and II, which will undoubt-
eddy be the largest, gathering of sta
TONERS ever held in this middle west
ern country.
