ROAD SEEKS TO MAKE
STOCK NONPAR VALUE
Ell Poso and Southwestern Is
First to Ask Change.

The first railroad in the United States
to seek c4ange in its capital stock
from a par value 10 nonpar value
stock is the El Paso and Southwestern,
which has applied TO the Interstate
Commerce Commis ion for authority ~
change it's capital from 100000 shares
of the par value of 500 to 100000
shares OF one class. The road has s25.-
600. 900 of it's s35, 900, 900 capital stock
outstanding.
Under the terms of its proposal the
El Paso and Southwestern would ex-
change 750, 900 of the new shares for its
present outstanding stock on the basis
of three for one, and retain in it's treas
ury the balance of 100000 shares to be
issued later from time to time for i'm
provements and betterments. Directors
of the corporation in New YORK; said
yesterday that the railroad does not
propose to market the additional shares
at the present time.
The main objective in changing the
capitalization is to enable the capital
stock issue to conform closely TO the
actual value of the property, as 1t
changes from time to. time and becomes
more valuable as additions and better
ments shall be added
Because of the fact that the road IS
the first to apply for a change from par
value TO nonpar value shares, and be-
cause officials of many other roads plan
TO follow the same course, the process
of the appeal TO the Interstate Commerce
Commission for permission to make such
a change is being watched by railroad
men with more than usual interest

APPAREL LINES HEAD
TRADE IMPROVEMENT

A broader and deeper improvement
in the state OF trade is reported to-day
by Bradsrcets, which says that more
, large cities report that improvement
is no longer confined merely to seriti-
ment and that cotton and silk goods
show gains in sales and prices, while
woollen ard knit goods have apparently
followed the example of the other tex
tiles and are shaping better than at
any time since last spring. Brddstrcct'i
admits. however. that the enlargement
of trade is mainly in the apparel lines.
Nevertheless it is becoming increasingly
felt, says that authority, that the cor
ner has been turned in trades which
have been without much movement for
considerable time.
recovery is seen by Dunis, which, how
ever. points out that reviving demand
in some quarters has developed only
after price yielding and that waiting
is still the rule in lines in which an
extension of the price defiation is seem
ingly foreshadowed. Dun's Reuielo con-
tnues as follows:
Indications multiply, however. that
certain trades are beginning to emerge
from their long continued lethargy, the
improvement in dry goods conditions
being especially conspicuous, and the
increased attendance of buyers in some
of the leading markets is evidence alike
of their renewed interest and a growing
need for merchandise.
while purchasing is still cautious
and restricted, it is larger in some in
stances than had been expected, and
p \ -.
because it is based on actual require
ments and not on speculative anticpa-
tons. With the release of some orders
that had been held in allegiance. the Der-
centage of idle machinery is gradually
decreasing in some industries. and re-
sumptions of work now more fully Off
set the curtailment of operations in
those branches where the price ques-
tion continues an obstacle to revival"

The September number of Arts and
Decoration devotes a full page to re-
productions of the tentative designs
of the Kansas City Liberty Memorial
1t is to be erected on the plaza south
of the Union Depot in Kansas City Mo.
H. Van Buren, Magonigle of New York
City was the winner of the recent
competition to select the architect for
the memorial.
The monument will consist of a
great cubical platform from the top
of which will rise a shaft whose sum-
init will be 400 feet above the ground
of the plaza. On top of the shaft will
be beacon urn signifying the ELAINE
of Inspiration" The north face of
the platform will be a huge memorial
tablet, suitably inscribed with the
names of the men of Kansas City and
its surrounding country who gave
their lives in the late war.
On the east and west sides of the
massive base will be broad staircases
leading to the top of the hill on level
with the top of the base. Behind the
monument proper and on the same
plane with the top of the stairs, are
to be erected an art gallery and an
auditorium. The whole design is to be
in the classic style, and the memorial
will undoubtedly be one of the great
scenic attractions of the United States,
perhaps of the whole world.

architects of America were asked to

GREAT ARTISTS TO Be HERE
Tho Holland Concert Series Have Good
Artists Engaged.

AILlSIS EUSG&Cus
The Holland Concert Series for To-
peka this season have a list Of ex-
ceptionalIy fine artists, comprising six
concerts on the series.
Nellie and Sara Kouns, who will be
remembered from their pleasing per-
for1nanee here last season, have been
re-engaged this season by popular re-
quest, the same is true of Anna Case.
Two new artists to appear on this
series are Albert Salvi, the worlds
greatest harpist, and Vasa Prihoda,
the great Bohemian violinist- Both
these artists come to Topeka highly
recommended. Concerning Vasa Pri-
hoda, Arturo Toscanini said of his
playing that IF Paganini played well,
certainly he could not have played any
better" With an introduction of this
sort from Toscanini, together with the
flattering press comments of his work
comes to Topeka as highly recon-
mended as any artist who has ever
been here and that Prihoda will live
up to those recommend is
thoroly assured.
There seems to be much interest in
the harp at present time and the an
Houncement of the appearance of AL
berto Salvi, the worlds greatest harp
ist, is evoking much interest. This
is the opening number of 6Se Holland
series on November 2.
= other numbers on the Holland series
include Arthur Middleton, the famous
bass baritone of the Metropolitan
opera company, and the Zoellner
String quartet, a combination of two
violins, a viola and a cello.

The young composer-pianist met
the man who literally tore Off
music while he waited, while he was
carrying on his favorite pastime of
folksong hunting in a little hamlet in
Lincolnshire, England
Granger had heard that the man
knew a version of a folksong in which
he was particularly interested. The
peasant was so enthusiastic over the
idea of helping the young Australian
to get what he wanted, that he wrote
the whole song on his wall and then
ripped off nine feet of the wallpaper
and gave it to Granger.
The celebrated pianist still has this
interesting Snatch of Song" with the
rest of his possessions in England.

esting and instructive article on the
Chicago Art Institute. Telling of its
great influence on the development

The Chicago Art Institute was
founded in 1879. The present hand
some headquarters on Michigan ave-
nue. between Jackson boulevard and
Randolph street, were completed in
1898. Midsummer of this year found
5000 students enrolled in the various
classes, and 100000 persons visited
the building within the past year. The
list of persons now in the front rank
of prominence in the art world who
were at one time students of the Art
institute, is most imposing.
The building, its schools, and It's
museums and galleries of priceless
treasures representing every branch
of what is termed art, are supported
almost entirely by private gifts, en-
dowments, and requests. About all
that the city of Chicago has done is to
furnish the site and to remit $1,000
worth of taxes each year.
One great feature of the Chicago
Art Institute is its series of travelling
lecture courses. Topeka had the bene-
fit of two of these courses last sea-
son thru the lectures of Ross Crane
and of dorado Taft. The schools bene-
