outside covers of the first edition of the

ing with the love and adventures of Rudolf
Rassendyll and the Princess 'Fulvia.' 1t
was the Princess i".Flayia" in the original
story and this led some of Hopes admirers
here to wonder if,a. new character were to
be introduced Coli. Spencer wrote 70 the
magazine to inquire whether "FulVia" was
a typographical error. .
Typographical error that made the. edi,,
tors wild and ALMOST led to a reVolutlon
was the brief Endorsement made on Mr.
Spencer's note and returned to him by S. S.
Mcclure. Later editions of the magazine
indicate that the error was corrected.

THE GAS CASE ADVANCED
SUPREME COURT WILL HEAR ORAL
ARGUMENT ON 1T JAN. IL.
Executive Committee of Manufactur-
ers Meet AEain-Satisned with
Status of the Litigation.

The Supreme Court yesterday showed a
disposition to make the earliest possible
settlement of the gas waste litigation. Up
on motion filed by Merrill Moores, dep
uty attorney general. the court advanced
the two cases now before it, the state and
Lippfncott injunction suits against the Ohio
Oil Company, and set them down for oral
argument on Jan. u. The appellants were
ordered TO file briefs by Dec. q and the APP
pellees by Jan. 4.
The executive committee of the associa-
ton formed by the manufacturers and gas
companies last spring met at the Grand
Hotelsyesterday and talked over the situa-
ton. The opinion was general that enough
law could be found in equity to stop the
waste of gas, and the sentiment against
demanding an extra session of the Legisla-
ture was strong. Another assessment was
made upon the members of the association
to bear the expense of litigation.
Mr.. C. c. Shirley, of Kokomo, made the
report for the subcommittee on litigation,
giving a complete review of what had been
done thus far by the attorneys and the
state gas inspector. The members of the
committee We're well satisfied with the stat
of affairs and believe the injunction suits
will be won. The subcommittee on the field
reported that fewer wells were now being
drilled in gas territory. They declared that
the oil men were beginning to realize that
the people were in earnest in the matter
and that penalties were apt to be enforced
that would prove expensive.
Among those present at the meeting were
James Murdoch, of Lafayette; T. f. Rose,
of Muncie; J. E. Vandeventer, of Anderson;
Fl. b. Smith, of Hartford City; j. c. Leach,
state gas inspector; c. c. Shirley, of Koko-
mo: Bement Lyman and Fl. NJ. Landon, Of
this city. All the members of the commit
tee were either present or represented.

some articles of jewelry from the people
with whom she lived. The girl was raised
in Terre Haute, where her father and step

came to Indianapolis with the stepmother
and found a home with a good family. She
lived with these people until she was tempt

charged. After the case had been dis

rear of the courtroom and spoke to Judge
McCray about the girl. He said he would
talk to his wife, and if she agreed to the
plan he would take the girl into his own
family.

THAT INVESTIGATION.

The Pop bribery investigation at To-

noted for first doing the improper thing

matter The first Pop administration
of Kansas was finally lost sight of in a
cumulus cloud Of multitUdinous inveSti-
cations. The Leedy legislature could
not adjourn sine die until they had
raised a general investigating commit
tee. The things which have been
brought to light already would damn
any other party. If the men who have
been implicated were Republicans or
Democrats they would hide their heads
In shame If they did not precipitately
fee the state. And the questions asked
b the committee of the witnesses are
only such questions as the witnesses
had intimated they would delight 20
answer. There WAS no power given
the investigating committee to compel
the attendance of witnesses nor TO force
them 10 tell the truth OF what they
knew. But they have told enough,
heaven knows, even IL but half they
have disclosed be true Still the &C
cused do not seem to feel bad, nor the
Pop party to care The usual obserya-
ton Of the average Pop is: ''Oh, our
fellows are no worse, If they are no bet
ter, than the other fellows, so far as in
dividual corruption goes, while politi-
caly their principles are preferable.

suls would be unable to give the In
surgent chiefs definite information reia-
tive to the withdrawal of the Turkish
troops or regarding the autonomous
form of government which the powers
propose to confer on Crete" In other
words, the concert has no definite pol
icy. and has nothing to offer the Cret-
ans as an alternative for their demand
for independence from Turkey and
union with Greece. All official intima-
tons of an agreement between the pow
ers upon a plan which would assure
freedom to Crete and which would be
carried out as soon as the Greeks under
Colonel Nassos should withdraw from
the island, were clearly intended only
TO deceive the public and provide justi-
fication for the pacific" blockade. If
this assertion be incorrect, and an agree
ment really exists between the powers
for the pacification of Crete, it is singu-
lar that their consular and naval repre-
sentariyes should not know Of it If the
powers have no common policy as a
basis for their action in the Graeco-
Cretan difficulty, then the concert of
Europe is a humbug.
