C. Decides. acting btamp Business SECTION I In I he ir Right To Have Wharves Made Dividing Line Denied. (71 Wall Street buys and sells the stock of the holding compan.v which owns the slock of the greatest chain of Department Stores in the world. There are about forty of these great Department Stores, located in nearly every large city in the United States.

They are well represented in Louisville. Some of these Department Stores frequently require a very strong hypodermic to put them in a healthy condition. Wall Street decided that Trading Stamps were not only a good remedy for store ailments, but the most profitable business for investments that had been brought to its attention. Wall Street has the reputation of being shrewd in taking up new enterprises, and heartless in pushing them to success. Wall Street owns a Trading Stamp business which extends throughout the country.

Trading Stamps were used as a hypodermic in one of its stores in Louisville, and then extended its field of operation to such lengths that they now serve more than four hundred stores within this. city. This Trading Stamp Company sells stamps to merchants for $2.50 for a book representing $100 in retail sales. After their purchases aggregate $100 the customer may redeem the stamps for $2.50 in merchandise. The store which redeems the stamps sells the redeemed stamps back to the Stamp Company for $1.75.

The Trading Stamp Company makes a clear profit of seventy-five cents on each $2.50 sale with only an investment for printing of stamps and the little paper book to contain them. The retailer pays $2.50 for the stamps and loses 75c more when he redeems them, making each-book cost $3.25. This' makes it necessary for the retailer to charge $3.25 more for every' $100 worth of goods he sells than would be the case if he did not issue Stamps. All GOOD merchants thoroughly DETEST Trading Stamps, whether they issue them or not. The DRY GOODS ECONOMIST, the leading Trade Paper of the Department Stores, insists that Trading Stamps are "PARASITES," condemns them unhesitatingly, and will not carry Trading Stamp advertisements.

The Trading Stamp business is probably the most profitable, considering the investment, of any business recognized as legal. The capital is nominal, and expenses inconsiderable. The principal assets that are required are an inordinate nerve and a persuasive tongue. The smaller stores are urged to adopt stamps because they offer an advantage over competitors who do not give them. The competitor is induced to adopt another kind lo be on an equal footing.

When all merchants issue Stamps, the Trading Stamp Companies draw enormous revenues; the merchant raises his prices to cover the additional cost, while the innocent consumer pays TEX PER CENT. MORE for groceries and dry goods and WONDERS at the high cost of living. Merchandise in Lewis' is all sold on a basis of the smallest possible legitimate expense of conducting business, with a minimum of profit, without the necessity of taking undue advantage of customers by adding ten per cent, to prices of goods ordinarily sold upon honor, to satisfy an avaricious Trading Stamp Company. Never before have such unusual values been offered to Louisville's people. There have been shirts offered at a cheaper price and there are cheaper shirts being offered at the present time, but when VALUE is considered this truly is "Louisville's Greatest Shirt Sale." Think of the VALUES! Shirts that formerly sold at $1.50, $2, $2.50 and $3.50, at $1.09.

It seems almost too good to be true, but that makes THESE SHIRT VALUES all the more interesting. How often have you wished a cool, comfortable Silk Shirt, or Silk Soisette, especially during hot weather? Just now you can appreciate what such comfort means and now is the time to buy and save. See the display in the Annex Show Window for a few suggestions. You can be assured of finding in this great collection of "Manchester Shirts" something that will strike your fancy and surely the price is suited to your purse. Last Monday morning and every day for the past week these UNUSUAL VALUES in shirts have enjoyed an extraordinary demand.

Five thousand "Manchester Shirts" were placed on sale and less than half that number now remain. But there are still a great collection to select from and to make this event doubly interesting we have added our entire regular stock of "Manchester Shirts." You can choose Silk Shirts, Fancy Striped Imported Madras, Silk Soisette, Plain White and Fancy Negligee; all coat styles with double cuffs, collars attached or detached and with or without collars.

CHANGE ORDERED OCTOBER 1 Washington.

July 19. Duluth. won a substantial portion of Its freight rale light before the Interstate Commerce Commission to-day when a reduction of class rates to that city from Eastern points was ordered and the present rates were held to be discriminatory. Duluth's contention that rates on lake-and-rail traffic from the East ought to break at its wharves, however, was not sustained. In brief, the commission held that the present rail-and-lake class rates-to Duluth from points east of the Indiana-Illinois State line were unreasonable, and that the existing scale of through rail-and-lake class rates to Duluth was unduly discriminatory as compared with rates to Chicago.

It was ordered that the first-class rate from the East to Duluth should not exceed sixty-two cents a hundred pounds, and that the rates from trunk line territory to Duluth, rail and lake, should not exceed those to Chicago. Undue Discrimination. The commission also held that the present 'joint through rail-and-lake rates from the East to Duluth deprived Duluth "of the advantage of its location at the "head of the lakes," and resulted "in undue discrimination against Duluth which will be relieved in some measure by the reduction here required." Finally, the commission held that "the contention of Duluth that the class rates on rail-and-lake traffic to the Northwest ought to break on its wharves instead of at the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul), and that, in. to Duluth, the sum of the intermediate rates is the lowest rate adjustment that Minneapolis and St.

Paul should have, is not sustained. "Duluth can not ask for more than a reasonable scale of rates and a reasonable relation of rates as between itself and the Twin Cities. To have the rates break at a particular point is not an inherent rate right." Mnst Stake Rates By October. The railroads were ordered by the commission to submit tariffs by October 1, containing the changes directed, and also providing for the discontinuance of discriminations against Duluth and towns adjacent to Minneapolis and St. Paul caused by loose policing of transit privileges and long-and-short-haul violations.

The so-called "Duluth case" grew of the commercial unrest between DMlutrt and other citte3 similarly slt- i.ated at the head ot Great Lake navi nation one the one hand and Minneapo lis and St. Paul and other interior in the Isort.iwest on the other. The Twin Cities have grown apace in rmnulation and volume ot trade in re cent years, while Duluth and Superior. although commandlngiy located, have not increased so rapiaiy. An investigation of the dissimilarity of development convinced the resident manufac turers and business men of Duluth that the reason was to bo louna in the existing lake-and-rail freight rates fiom Eastern points of origin through Duluth to Minneapolis and bt.

Jaui. Instituted By Commercial Club. The Commercial Club of Duluth thereupon instituted a complaint before the Interstate Commerce attacking the present rate struc ture. The petition was directed against a large number of railroads operating in Trunk Line, Central TTrfiieht Association and "Western Ter ritories and also against boat lines op erating on the Great Lakes. The complaint attacked all class and commodity ireignt rates, anegin, that they subjected Duluth to unreasonable disadvantage; that they were unliiRt inherently, and that they af forded such unjust preference to Min- npmtniis and St.

Paul as amounted to a physical removal of the head; of navigation irom uuiuin to me iwin Pities. It was alleged that Duluth's natural advantages practically were destroyed, not oniy oy preierentiai rates but. contnuuung lo tnat enu. Twin Citv iobbers were accorded free storage of goods in Duluth warehouses, a privilege not enjoyed by commercial houses in Duluth. Gave Twin Cities Best Rates.

Through the exercise of this privilege, it was asserted, Twin City jobbers 'were given the advantage of transshipment on the through lake-and-rail rates. It was contended that the divisions of these rates received bv the roads operating westward ly and southwardly from Duluth were too low, as compared with the rates which Duluth enterprises were compelled to pay to the same points of destination. Thus three principal features were Involved in the Commercial Ciub's complaint: First The justice of the rail-and-lake rates from Eastern points to Du- 1U Second The justice of the through rates from Eastern points to the Twin Cities by way of Duluth and Lake Michigan points. Third The right of the railroads to maintain free storage warehouses at Duluth from which Twin City jobbers might distribute goods directly to their trade in Duluth's natural territory. Would Dtl Discrimination.

Duluth's principal contention was that the only way in which the alleged iniustice could be cured was by having the rail-and-lake rates break at the TTiid it wils urireri in lake pons. hP-inn and in argument would have the effect oi u. of the railroads in favor of Minneapolis and St. Paul and would accord to Duluth the natural advantages of its location. In final analysis, the case resolved Helf into a commercial conflict between Duluth and the Twin Cities, the rail carriers taking substantially oniy a secondary part in it Their rates, it was urged by Duluth, had been constructed "for the purpose of depriving and in fact do deprive, Duluth and other localities of the natural advantages of location, and transfer a large part of the benefits thereof arbitrarily to Minneapolis and St.

LEWIS CO. Duluth interests that if the rail-and-lake rates were made to break at lake ports all interior points would secure the benefits of water competition justly due them by reason of location, the benefits varying in accordance with the distance from lake ports. Twin Cities Defend Action. The Minneapolis Traffic Association and the St Paul Association of Commerce assumed a great burden of the defense of the existing rate structure. They maintained that every reason for the maintenance of the present rates was backed "by sound commercial, transportation and legal principles." In their arguments and briefs "they urged: "When Duluth complains of its.

lack of jobbing opportunities, the Canadian tariff wall on the one hand and the distance to the consumer on the other come naturally and promptly into view as a disadvantage of Duluth's location. "When they complain of rail-and-lake storage facilities that are absolutely indispensable aids to competi tion between all-rail -and rail-and-lake lines, the conclusive answer comes: 'You are so unfortunately located that you do not get the full benefits of these necessary transportation lacin If Duluth cannot reach the con sumer by car-load shipments and must pay a higher distributing rate for long distances, inai ia una ul ihc uuavuiud- ble disadvantages of location. "It is elementary," the brief con tinued, "that it costs more to transport the finished product than the raw material. Duluth is not located in close proximity to the consuming community and gets a short haul of the raw material and a long haul of the fabricated article." In conclusion it was maintained by the commercial bodies of the Twin Cities that "Duluth's proposition is that the people in Minnesota, South Dakota and all of the territory served by the cities located therein surrender their natural auvantages tnat jjuiutn mav flourish as a jobbing center. It would be glorious for Duluth, but hard on millions of consumers who would have to pay higher freight rates on everything they buy." MAJ.

The foreign flavor was injected into the convention by several speakers.

The Rev. T. Sawaya, field secretary for Japan, trained in a junior society of Christian Endeavor, captured the convention with his plea for patience and Christian love toward his people, who have for so long looked to the United States for new ldeais and Christian civilization. Stanley A. Hunter brought a strong mes sage from India The Rev.

E. E. Strother and Mrs. Strorti- er. field secretaries for China, showed how Christian Endeavor had trained many of those who nave oecome leaders in the new China.

The Chinese take naturally lo the Christian Endeavor form of organiza tion, and carry on the work of the society must I'itlcientiy, they said. It was in the home of Edward S. Little. treasurer of the United Society of Chris tian Endeavor for China, that the peace pact that practically ended the greatest bloodless revolution the history or the world was signed. The convention was a success every particular, and the movement closes its thirty-second year with larger financial resources, a more comprehensive plan of work, and a more enthusiastic constituency than ever before in its history.

Reilly, of Wellsville, who died without leaving a will disposing of his estate valued at 5100,000 or more, may be living in Louisville, James H. Baum, of Trenton, N. has written for information. A newspaper clipping shows that a trunk containing documents weighing several hundred pounds had been sent to the Clerk of the Ohio Supreme Court. at Columbus, for use in determining disposition of the property.

Ever since the death of Gen. Reilly, according to the clipping, the estate has been in litigation. various claimants being unable to prove relationship. A report of referee that no claimant had proved heirship, and that the estate would escheat to the State of Ohio, was thought to have ended the case a few months ago, but Judge Philip M. Smith, representing Jane "McVeigh t.

of Londoii appealed to the Supreme Court. I knew the doughty old General well," the letter of Mr. Baum reads, "and anc-e. asked him If he had anj relatives. He satd he had some cousins who lived In Louisville.

On visiting them he overheard them asking how long he expected to stay at their house. Of course that was enough, as the saying is, to get the General's 'dander up' and he flouted his too inquisitive relatives at once. "The estate ought to be anywhere from $100,000 in value upward, provided the lawyers' fees, court fees, do not or have not eaten it up. "Reilly became a Brigadier Genprni and commanded the division sent bv Sherman from Atlanta to assist at Allatoona Pass, Ga. The ever-memorable dispatch.

IF- JOHN C. RESULTS GO New Movements Started By Christian Endeavorers. THOUSANDS ATTEND CONVENTION AT LOS ANGELES. SOCIETY GROWING-, REPORTS OF OFFICIALS INDICATE. MISSIONARIES ARE PRESENT Los Angeles.

July 19. (Special.) The twenty-sixth International Christian Endeavor Convention is now a matter of history, but it will rank in results accomplished and new movements inaugurated with the best of the great series of conventions held by this organization. bus Angeles furnished an Ideal setting for the convention. The weather, although considered unusually hot, was, with the cool nights, a refreshing contrast to the Intense heat in the Middle and Kastern States. No hall In the city could accommodate the crowds, so the committee put a canvas roof over fiesta Park, making two auditoriums accommodating nearly people.

One was usee as headquarters for the States and the other for the mass meetings. In addition simultaneous meetings were held in the Temple Auditorium and a score of churches. In 'spite of the ample provision overflow-meetings were necessary to accommodate the crowds, and the second day of-the convention the supply of programmes and badges was exhausted. Music JSig The music of the convention, led by ft great chorus of 1.000 voices trained by Prof. Peckham, and an orchestra of fifty pieces, with soloists, was excellent.

Service Songs." the new hymn book, was used for" the first time and became instantly popular. The street parade was a new feature, and as the marching thousands of young people with music and song passed by they made a profound impression on the spectators. The committee, under the leadersnip of Leonard Merrill, provided for every need, and the crowds were handled as easily and the meetings were as orderly as in an ordinary sized convention. The denominational rallies were largely attended and more successful than in any recent convention. Programme Was Varied.

Every phase of religious activity was considered in practical conferences or Inspirational addresses. President Henry Churchill King. LL. of Oherlln College, led the great throng that met him each morning at 6:30 into the real meaning of "Life's Values." The Rev.
