NEW GAS PLANT.
Another Way Opened to Secure
Dollar Gas.
Good Field For a New Company
offered.
LETTER FROMCHICAGO
]. W. Faulkner Proposes a Rate
of so Cents.
Matters VIII Be Brought Before
City Council.
FROMCHICAGC

There IS strong possibility that To-
peka will secure a combined gas and
electric light plant. If the possibility
turns to a reality, Topeka residents will
no longer have to pay exorbitant rates
for gas and electric light.
Councilman Fred Roundtree, chair
man Of the committee appointed by the
council to handle the controversy with
the Topeka Gas company, is in receipt
of a letter from Mr.. J. W. Faulkner,
Chicago promoter, who within the last
few years has established % gas and
electric light plants in different parts
of the country. Mr.. Faulkner says he
believes he can perfect arrangements
for the establishment of a combined
plant in this city.
In the event of such establishment,
Mr.. Faulkner guarantees rates that
would be within the reach of every resi-
dent. For the first two years the rate
on gas would be 81, for the following
three years 95 cents, and after that time
a permanent rate of 80 cents. For city
purposes gas would be furnished at the
rate of rs cents.
The rates for electric lighting would
be in proportion to rates on gas
A liberal franchise would be expect
ed from the city, but as the sentiment
is so thoroughly in favor of lower gas
and electric light rates, the city council
could afford to be liberal after the reIi-
ability of the new company was satis-
factorily shown.
The franchise Of the Topeka Gas COM
pany has yet eleven years to run. The
present company recently made a. prop
osition to the council for a continuance
of the franchise for twenty years in
consideration of a reduction of the pres
ent rate to $1.25 This goes to show
that the company has no intention of
giving its consumers a dollar rate, and
for this reason the council would un-
dOubtedly be active in helping a new
company into the field.
The attention of Mr.. Faulkner was
called to the Topeka field in talking
with a well known Topeka man in Chi
cagO recently. He expressed the be-
lief that he could interest sufficient
capital to put in the proposed plant,
and furnish gas and electric light to
Topeka residents at the prices quoted
in his letter to Mr.. ROundtree.
Negotiations will probably be opened
by bringing the matter before the coun-
ell.
This is a matter in which the Topeka
Commercial club might take an active
interest The people of Topeka are de-
manding lower gas rates, and their de-
mands are being ignored by the present
company. With a new plant, equipped
with all of the latest improvements for
the manufacture of gas at a low cost
gas for Illuminating and heating pur-
poses would be within the reach of all
It is something in which the entire
city is concerned, and the Commercial
club should do all in it's power to stim-
ulate the establishment of the proposed
plant

A CRITICAL STAGE.
Has Been Reached in the Brickmakers
Strike at Chicago.

Chicago. Aug. 10.-The brickmakers'
strike has reached critical stage and
from assertions made by the manufac-
turers in answer to the demands of the
strikers it is believed that a. general
tie-up of building operations in Chicago
and a strike of $4,000 craftsmen is inn
ninent.
A meeting between the contending
parties has been called for this evening
before a committee of the Building
Trades council. The brickmakers' alli-
ance insists that the south side manu-
facturers sell their product in any
territory within Cook county where
the non-union article now is generally
used. BY compelling the union yards
to enter into competition with the nom
union manufacturers the alliance cal
culates to force the latter to become
unionized. The manufacturers go to
the conference declaring that they will
not do the bidding of the strikers. The
Building Trades council AYERS that it
will sustain the brickmakers- If those
sentiments are adhered to. it is assert
ed that a general strike will be called
within a. few days.

MILES AND ROOT CONFER.
Commanding General Is Once More a
Part of the Army.

Washington, Aug 10.-Major General
Miles had a conference of more than
half an hour with the secretary of war
today. Secretary Root said that the
conference was devoted to military
matters, but would not speak definitely
as to their character.
When it was suggested that there
were rumors that he was consulting
Gen. Miles with reference to a change
of commanders in the Philippines, he
said he had nothing to say on that sub
ject. It is known, however, that Gen.
Miles brought up the recent order of
Secretary Alger bearing upon the in
spector generals department. That
portion of the order which places the
bureau under the direction of the sec
retary of war and omits the command
ing general of the army as was the case
in the former regulations, is not salts
factory, it is said, to Gen. Miles.
