Bidding on Cuban Loan

1t seems pretty well established that
arrangement of the proposed $5o,00o,-
600 Cuban government loan will be
through open bidding rather than
through negotiations. Speyer & CO..
who served as fiscal agents for the
$35, 100000 loan fioated in 1904 and for
the $16,5o0,00o loan of 1909, yesterday
announced their entry into the compe-
tition. A partner in the arm is now in
Cuba, together with member Of the
firm Of Blair g. Co., Inc, who will be
associated with them in the bidding,
and is keeping in touch with the sitn-
alton. The Morgan group, which ham
died the third Cuban loan here in
1914, is regarded as also certain to put
in a tender. Whether the competition
will extend beyond these two groups
appears doubtful at this time. Until
recently it had been assumed that the
Morgan syndicate would handle the
issue, proceeds of which are to be used
in part to pay off at maturity the ad-
vance made by it year ago, falling
due in January.

Status of Ry. Executives Association

Railroad banking circles are COM
paratively bare of gossip as to prob
Cuyler as chairman of the Association
of Railway Executives. The view per-
sists that the functions of that organ
ization are to be still further limited
and the question in consequence as
sumes less Importance. 1t is believed
that the attempt to handle the recent

Government Financing Program

Bankers, commenting yesterday upon

financing would be undertaken this
month, expressed the view that De-
camber Is requirements amounting to
we'll over s750,0o0, 900 would be taken
care of through short-term financing
and tax receipts. The opinion is held
that certificates or short-term notes
will be in demand by corporations who
desire to keep their funds liquid in
anticipation Of further business ex-
pansion, whereas market conditions
are not regarded as favorable to an
other long-term bond issue. If the new

been put out, but unless conditions

Government and Foreign Loans


Of incidental bearing upon the
Administrations policy Of passing up
on foreign loans tioated in this coun-
try is the upbuilding in the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of
a division of finance and invest
ments. It is the duty of this division
to compile and furnish to bankers and
others interested information on the
budget and general financial status of
foreign countries. Foreign loan appli-
cations are reviewed by Secretary of
Commerce Hoover, as we'll as by
Secretary of State Hughes, and he
naturally has some recourse to this
division. Grosvenor Jones, it's head,
was in town yesterday discussing de-
tails of the work with representatives
of the American Bankers Association,
Commerce and Marine Commission.

Serious Problem Presented in Drink
ing of Illicit Liquors.

Cleveland. o., Oct. 1T.-The wide
spread drinking of "moonshine" has
become an important public health
problem. J. H. Doran, head of the
industrial alcohol and chemical di-
vision of the federal prohibition com
missioner's office. told the pure food
and drug section of the American
Public Health association in session
here today
Many thousands Of analyses of IL
licit liquors subsequent to prohibition
show that the essential difference be-
tween "moonshine" and aged in wood
whistles is in the aledhyde content
he said.
The effects of the aIdehydes on
the human system when taken in
ternally appear to be very harmful.
Mr.. Doran declared. These are elimi-
mated only by fractionating in an al
cohol drum or long aging in wooden
barrels. Many Illicit liquors are found
TO be contaminated with salts of zinc
and copper.
a most serious problem is present.

Santa Claus is already beginning to
concentrate in Topeka his stock of
good things which will be presented to
good little boys and girls, and good
big boys and girls next Christmas.
Christmas stocks of Topeka mer-
chants are beginning to arrive here.
and to be placed in the easements of
Topeka merchants whence they will be
brought shortly after Thanksgiving to
gladden. the eye ot the shopper.
Its a little too early for a Christ
mas goods story" most OF the mer-
chants declared today TT won't do
to put these goods out on display be-
fore Thanksgiving or Whereabouts"
But the goods are beginning to ar
rive, and there are a few of the To-
peka merchants who are putting them
on display at the present time.
Some difficulty is reported by the
merchants in getting their holiday
goods into Topeka, due to two factors,
shortage of production and also to
the Transportation difficulties which
are afflicting the railroads at the pres
ent time.
Most Topeka merchants are order
ing larger stocks of gooos this year
than they have in past years. Gen
eraI trade conditions for the past year
have been better than in previous
years, they say, and for that reason
most of them anticipate better trade
during the holiday season than in
1921.
1t is too early to forecast prices
with much accuracy, but there are
several lines which will be lower this
year than they were last year.

rs HEARING is FJ5TP0NED
C'.y Gate Rate Case Assigned for
Hearing November II.

The city gate rate gas case affecting
q number Of Kansas towns has been
I."s Doned by the public utilities COM
II lssion until November II. Members
OF the commission has announced a
continuance in the case which had
been assigned for hearing today.
The Kansas commission has issued
an order to the Kansas Natural Gas
company to appear and show cause
why its rates at city gates should be
increased from IS cents to 40 cents a
thousand cubic feet. The increase
would affect all distributing COM
panies which buy gas supplies from
the Kansas Natural.
It is the position of the producing
company that the Kansas commission
has no authority TO regulate its rates
since much OF the gas used in Kansas
is transported from Oklahoma fields.
1t is also claimed by the producing
company that rates in Oklahoma are
equal to those now paid by Kansas
companies and that the increase is
necessary to cover additional trans
portation costs. The state supreme
court has held that the Kansas COM
mission has authority to adjust these
rates The federal court has decided
that the Kansas Natural is engaged in
interstate commerce and that its
charges to local distributing COM
panies are not subject to state COM
mission review.

Washington. Oct. 17.-Widespread
instruction in fire prevention methods
among the general public is the pur-
lose OF the converting here today of
Fthe annual three-day meeting OF +he
Railway Fire Prevention association.
In the year 1921, fire IN the United

and injured more than 5000 others.
OF these casualties, SO per cent were
suffered by mothers, children and in
valids
These figures are published by the
association to show the need of in
creased campaigns against careless
ness where fire is possible. Nearly 30
Ter cent of these losses of life and
property are due to careiessness and
lack OF proper educatfon as to exist
ing hazards. according 10 the associa

THE BEBAN SHOW

A real and reel sA0ws presented by
a real artist and supported by one OF
the best companies ever seen on the
Topeka stage. and as an after show
or p. S. the chief actor to be pre-
scented to the citizens of Topeka by
real governor. These are the main
points in the motion picture and
spoken drama The Sign of The
Rose" presented at the Orpheum
theater last night by George Beban.
George Beban has an entirely new
and unique act that pleased everyone
in the huge audience. It was new to
Topeka theater goers and If the aD-
probation shown by those who ar
tended last night is to be taken as
criterion it has come to the American
stage to stay. There is just enough
motion picture used to gain and hold
the attention and in the twinkling of
an eye the scene is shifted from the
screen and the actors appear in per-
son in the same position in which
they were in when the screen was
lifted.
The story is an interesting one,
dealing with the hardships Of an
Italian, who loses his wife and almost
loses his six-year-old daughter, when
the ship on which they are travelling
to this country, is burned at sea. His
daughter is killed by being run down
by an auto in the crowded italian
quarters of one of our large cities. In
this scene a touching safety first
lesson" is taught to the motorists
and that is to be more careful while
driving on the streets in which the
children play.
The play has a splendid climax and
the Italian and his wife, whom he
thought had persisted in the catas-
trophe at sea is found and they live
happily ever afterwards.
The first four reels are shown or
the screen and two are acted by Mr..
Beban and company. The final two
reels revert to the screen.
Following the last act Mr.. Beban
was introduced to the audience by
Gov. Henry ]. Allen, who paid this
widely known artist many high COM
pliments.
The Orpheum orchestra, which al
ways furnishes an up-to-the-minute
program, presents a specially selected
program to accompany the Beban
production. R. e. L.
