Puyallup Fair To Be
September 10 to "a

Capture of signal honors by
colored folk In last years West
ern Washington Fair at Puyallup
is likely to be followed by fur
ther victories at this years mil
lion-dollar show on the Puyallup
grounds September Is to "a, in
elusive.
In the realms of cake-baking,
flowers and poultry, colored re-
sidents of Seattle and Tacoma
made especially notable records
al the 1892 fair. And present
indications are they will have
markedly important role in the
big show to begin September 1S.
In many departments the 1888
Western Washington Fair, thirty
fourth annual event of its kind,
will eclipse all that have gone
before. Already the Puyallup
fair Is recognized among farm
editors as in the forefront of
western exhibits.
Attendance records this year
promise to set a new high, ac-
oording to w. A. Linklater, pre-
sident and manager. He told
the Northwest Enterprise yester-
day that very satisfactory reports
are being received from the hun
dreds Of business places in West
Elm Washington stocking tickets
for advance sale at saving Of
a third to buyers. More than
500 business places in Seattle
alone are cooperating in the ad-
vance sale, to save money to the
buyers and to help swell attend
ance at the big show. One may
buy the tickets now and save a
third at many groceries. drug
stores, filling stations and the
like in all parts of Seattle. The
advance sale ends September 16.
two days before the fair begins.

Pecora delved into the forma-
ton of a syndicate in 1923 by
Taplin to purchase the P. and

it was created to get control OF
the railroad because we thought
it was a good investment and
that we might sell it some time
at a profit"

Taplin revealed that Frank H

in the syndicate.

turned to Taplin's conversations
with Atterbury. Taplin said:
"They wanted to buy back in
1927 and 1 wanted to sell.
Our minds didn't meet on the
price. That was the only
obstacle"
These conversations continued
until 1929 when he sold this stock

Taplin explained a rather mys-
terious loan Of 81, $50 900 from the
Pennroad Corporation in 1929. He
said he used this money to buy a
block of stock in the Wheeling
and Lake Erie railroad, which en-
abled him to get control Of the
road and keep it from going into
the hands of the Van Sweringen
brothers. His story revealed the
Kuhn, Loeb Company even fl
nanced an independent banker in
its fight against the Morgan rail
interests.
Didn't you know the Penn

controlled $4,000 shares of the

control of the road through the
syndicate, he entered into supple
mentary agreements with minor
ity stockholders.
These agreements pledged the
minority stockholders not to sell
until control of the road was
sold. Then they were to receive
the same price for their stock
that the syndicate members re-
ceived. Through these opera
tions, Taplin tied up, in all, about
IS per cent of the stock.
To Any One Of Four
Taplin was asked whether he
acquired the P. and w. Va. stock

Railroad" He said:
"NO. There were what we
called four trunk lines, the
Pennsylvania, New York Cen

my thought it would be attrac-
tive to any one Of the four"
Taplin told of discussing sale
Of the road with officials of the
N. Y. C. He said he discussed it
with P. C. Crowley, then the N.
Y. C.'S president.
In his preliminary discussions
with Atterbury regarding the
PennSylvania's purchase of the P.

of 5000 per share. He said:
