CEMENT PROBE. ON
Supreme Court Called Upon to
Determine Scope of Work.
Presentation of Additional Rec
Ords Asked by Hopkins.

The supreme court was today called
upon to determine the scope of the at
torney generals investigation of
books, records, checks and correspo1-
dence of Kansas cement companies in
the antitrust suits against the Ash
Grove and other companies. Attor-
neys for the cement companies went
before the supreme court today to re-
sist an application filed by the attor-
ney general for all books, checks and
records affecting their business dur
ing the years 19Le-1T.
Presentation of additional records
before the commissioner was asked
by Attorney General Hopkins on the
claim that a showing of antitrust Vio-
lation might result. Ths illegal COM
bination was claimed IN connection
with the purchase and dismantling
of the Sunflower Cement company
plant at lie Hunt, Montgomery coun-
". The state legal department had
asked the court to order all of the
1916 and 1917 records of the de-
PENDANT companies presented for ex-
animation. The attorney generals Of
flee stated it was impossible to point
out specific information desired.
Have Spent $4,000.
I'VE have already spent $4,000
formation for the attorney general IN
this case said Col. John S. Dean,
representing the defendant companies.
I'VE have offered to supply any rec
ords the attorney general may point
out. We have denied under oath that
there has been any combination or il
legal act in connection with the lie
Hunt plant Now we object to gem
eral fishing expedition that will re-
quire US totb-ing car load of records
into this case for the attorney gen
eral and his assistants to paw over in
the hope of finding some evidence
Col Dean pointed out that even tho
the information as requested should
be supplied, it would be of no value
that any act by the cement companies
in 1916 and 1917 had been removed
from court action by the statute of
limitations long before the case was
filed.
IF the attorney general has the in
formation in his possession as he posi-
lively states in his petition, a fishing
trip is not necessary said Col. Dean.
He need not go thru our books to
get something to support his plead
ings"
John ]. Egan. assistant attorney
general told the court it was impossi-
BILE to specify the exact documents or
checks desired. He declared that
there was reason to believe a showing
of-law violation might be made, how
ever, if all the records were produced.
Taken Under Amusement.
Richard J. Hopkins, attorney gen.
eral, and John J. Egan, assistant, rep
resented the application for the state.
Col. John S. Dean and David w. Null
vane of Topeka, appeared for the de-
PENDANT companies
The application was taken under ad-
visement. e
