READY FOR GAS FIGHT.
Hearing on Charter for Big Company
Is Postponed.

Owing to a misunderstanding on the
part of Hill p. Wilson, assistant secre-
tary of state, and the absence of Secre-
tary Burrow, no hearing was held this
morning on the application of the
Kansas Natural Gas and Oil company
for authority to do business in this
state.
The hearing was set for today and
was so understood by the members of
the charter board and the interested
parties VINO We're present, but Assist
ant Secretary Wilson understood that
it was to be Tuesday and so notified
some of the parties in the gas belt who
wish to protest. Accordingly only a
portion of the gas belt people were on
hand this morning. In addition to this,
Secretary Burrow wired that he could
not reach Topeka until this afternoon.
Accordingly Attorney General Coleman
and Bank Commissioner Albaugh took
an adjournment until o'clock this af-
ternoon. when Mr. Burrow will be pres
ent. Some preliminaries may be dis
posed of this afternoon, but the real
hearing will not take place until tomor-
row.
The gas belt people are very much in
earnest in their opposition to the ad-
mission of the company If it is proposed
to pipe the gas out of the state to Kan
sas City, as it is said the Kansas Nat
ural Gas & Oil company is preparing
to do.
1T is going to injure the Kansas
fields greatly to have the gas plped out
of the state" said r. N. Allen of Cha
mute today. "If we can keep it in the
state we viii draw big factories here
and build up great manufacturing in
dustries. If it is piped out the factories
will locate in Kansas City"
Among the representatives of the
gas belt who had reached Topeka at
noon were the following: S. S. Bene-
dict. of Benedict, Republican candi-
date for state senator in Neosho coun-
ty; r. z. Young and J. w. Paulen, Of
Fredonia; Mayor D. NJ. Kennedy, R.
n. Allen, /. Rosenthal. z. P Burris.
H. Cavaness. and A. J. Hazleton, of
Chanute; J. S johnson and O. p.
Clough, of Buffalo; J. w. C Spring
stein and H. E. Brighton, of Caney; J.
H. Dana, W. F. Zeigler, and Charles
w. Henderson, of Coffeyville; l. L
Purcell. of Cherryvale; Asa Smith. of
Parsons; Fred Perkins, of Oswego;
Marion Cross. of Neodesha.
1t is expected that a considera bic
number of others will be in tonight,
representing several other towns.
Among them will be State Auditor
Wells, who has been tied up by floods
all the past week at his home in Erie

BIG ELKS ARE HERE.
All From Emporia and Came to Play
Ball.

Topeka is Elk-possessed today. One
hundred and fifty of the antlered herd
and their ladies came in from Eanporia
at 2 O'Clock this afternoon. with their
baseball team and the First Regiment
band The local contingent met them on
Washburn field at $3.50 o'clock this after
reality to have q good time, and not give
back change to those who bought peanuts
and pop. and give all the proceeds to

The Emporians were met at the train
By 90 Topeka Elxs-the flower of the flock
They all wore big straw hats of the far
mer-boy variety. These We're decorated
with large handkerchiefs of purple and
white, on which were printed in big let

Everyone of the merrymakers was pro-

train came in Major Dromo Penwen and

the first one to fall from the step and he
was at once set to work blowing horn.
Between gasps he managed to murmur;
We have $50 men and about 80 ladies,
and were going to have time" And
then hG kept on blowing
The ladies were transported up town
in a Vinewood and a. special observation
car. The Emporia band headed their
slks and behind these came the Tope-
kans, the whole column marching up to
the Elk club rooms and working UP an
appetite and thirst. Dinner was had at
the club rooms.
The game had a prelude. The first
notes of it were struck a 2:30 o clock, but
the sound and the echoes won't die out
for some few days to come. The affair
was labeled parade, but it had several
features which made it more like
grand pyrotechnic of spasms. There are
not enough words in the English Ian
guage to cover the case, so it will be left
strictly alone.
The result of theh ball game will, be
termined to some definite extent about
next Christmas. Expert accountants went
to work at once this evening to figure up
the runs. hits and errors. The kick COM
mittee, however, will have to settle
whole lot of disputes first. 1t is thought
that each member of the team, each
member of the Emporia and Topeka, F,Iks
club and each man who bet on the result
will have about Is valid objections to file
These will be turned over to claims
committee, the personnel of which is kept
secret for good enough reasons.
A reception for the visiting ladies will
be held tonight at the lodge parlors.

that every name on the remonstrance

The people of the Sixth ward who
oppose this sewer made a mistake in
not getting the Christ hospital people
on their remonstrance, if they could
have done so. The hospital owns
62O,0 square feet of land, and that

Brazil is the most important source
of this material. More than one-half
of the India rubber imported into the

I'll, the total from that country alone
being for the ten months 80 million
pounds, valued at 20 1-3 million dollars.
The United Kingdom supplied in the
same period over z million pounds, val
ued at ga million dollars; Germany, ,
million pounds valued at IA million
dollars; and 'Other Europe" nearly 10
million pounds valued at over III mill
lion dollars. These supplies of India

from little over IL million pounds in

while that from the United Kingdom
has increased from 615 million pounds
