ProMAINE POISONING.
Manager Griffith of New York Amer
leans Has Close Call.

New York, Aug. S.-CIark Griffith,
manager of the New York American
league baseball team, narrowly missed
losing his life yesterday by ptomaine
poisoning. His condition last night
showed much improvement and he is
likely to be about again in a few
days. Manager Griffith, accompanied
by his wife, d1ned at Coney Island
Sunday night and was returning home
by train when the manager was sud
denly attacked with terrible pains.
They became so severe that it was
deemed advisable to stop on the way
and the sufferer was carried into a
drug store. Physicians worked over
the patient for a long time and finally
relieved him. Griffith became much
worse but by careful nursing he rallied
from the attack and after a restful
sleep of several hours appeared much
better. He was taken home before the
second attack. l., ).

with his brothers, he started the
Moeser Ice and Cold Storage company
and continued in charge of the me
chanical end of this company until its
sale in 1908.
At the time of its sale the company
was the largest cold storage firm IN the
city. He has since been associated with
Seymour and Company in the cold stor-
age commission business. He IS prac-
teal machinist and was for time en-
ployed in the machine shops or the

connection with the management OF the

E Jewell is not a believer in the own
ership of public utilities by municipaii-
ties. II never have believed ,in 1t,
said he this morning. II believe that II
is always more expensive than II man
aged by a private corporation. Further
more 1 believe that the price paid for
the plant was too high in the first place;
I never thought that the city should
have paid 5000 900 for the running value
as they expressed it."

p. Moeser claimed that he had not
got far enough into the question TO give
out what his policy might be. I was
in favor of municipal ownership and
then again wasn't thought that it
was better for the city to take over
the plant provided we could get any
better satisfaction out of the company
The way the company was managing
the plant caused US all to pay excessive
fire insurance rates. l believe that the
city can manage the plant and make
money out of it l don't see why it
can't. 1 don't know what would be the
most advisable step to take first in the
Improvement of the plant. I cannot de-
eide that until I have been in office
longer, and that right away. There is
no need for maintaining two plants.
Some one should be placed in cHarge OF
the plant to keep the machinery in
shape but there is no need for all that
force down there together with the boil
ers fred up all the time. You can get
all the emergency power that you need
out at the other plant The pumps
are certainly large enough for any sup
ply we need and amply sufficient to
take care of any emergency call Inc
thing that needs to be done out there is
to take out the choke and probably in
crease the boiler capacity. I haven't
any use for wells and I believe that
the thing that should be done is to
drive more points; pumping direct from
the river.
Il am not in favor of any change in
the present method of managing the
plant 1 believe Mr.. Shaw is as good as
any man that can be gotten. L don
know why at this time there should be
any change. Maybe later it would be
desirable to have certain changes
It has been rumored that Moeser was
not friendly towards the retention OF
Jesse Shaw as superintendent
The board must organize within a
week, the chairman and president OF
the board being formally elected. The
board is to meet once each month and
as often thereafter as the board may
find necessary. It is. to recommend any
changes in rates to the council and fix
upon the same. No radical steps are
looked for from the board at this time,
as it will take some time for the mem
bers of the board to accustom them
selves to their new duties.

LIFE MORE BEARABLE.
state Treasurer Tells Wichita Friends
''Al Is Lovely

Wichita, Aug. S.-The Beacon says:
State Treasurer Thomas T. Kelly was
in the city yesterday to attend the
knights of Columbus banquet. He
declined to talk for publication con-
corning his recent troubles in regard
to bond, but privately he expressed his
disapproval of the Beacon, because he
holds this newspaper responsible for
his failure to secure signers to his
bond here. OF course he got enough
without the Wichita men on whom he
had figured, but nevertheless he is a
bit put out because Wichita turned
him down.
The treasurer told his friends here
yesterday that Governor Hoch had ''Iet
up on him. and that life was trifie
more bearable now since he had Sc
cured bond. He assured his friends
that he intended to serve out his term
and that he did not fear the result of
the investigation now in progress.

ROW IN GAS CIRCLES.
q. G. I. Company Wants Franchise
From Kansas Concern.

Kansas City, Aug. 8.-There seems
to- be hitch in the proceedings be-
| tween the Kansas Natural Gas COM
pany and the local Missouri gas COM
pany which also owns the Kansas
City, Kas., gas plant.
Under the present arrangement the
Kansas company furnishes gas to the
local company at the corporation line.
1t is retailed by the local company.
For this the Kansas company receives
so per cent. of the total retail re-
ceipts and the local company guaran-
tees the receipts to reach certain
amount.
In the meantime the U. G. l., con-
trolling both local companies, has
Joined in the gas game by securing
options on gas in Kansas and the In
dian Territory. They ask that the
Kansas company cut the price from
60 per cent. to 40 per cent. The Kan
sas company shows no disposition to
comply with the request.
This being the situation the u. G. I.
threatens to put in a pipe line bring
ing in its own gas to Kansas City,
Kas., claiming they can do it cheaper
than they are now able to buy gas
from the Kansas company.
The matter of putting in a supply
main has been considered in Phila-
delphia, and James MCGOWAN is back
from there and a Wabash wreck He
has been making trips to Topeka, ac-
companied by Attorney Dana, of Kan
sas City, Kas., and they have been in
curing into form of charter of the
Kansas Gas company. 1t is proposed
to conform to that as nearly as pos
sible in getting ready for putting down
a gas pipe
It is suggested that by reducing the
cost of gas at the corporation limits
the local company may be able to fur
nish gas cheaper thar the 30-cent
rate. In Kansas City, Kas., it is 35
cents, and the company has already
consented to 3-cent rate on the Mis-
souri, side. 1t is estimated that pos
sibly the company can see it possible
to reduce the rate and get within sight
of franchise.
An official of the Kansas company
explains that should the U. c. T. quit
buying gas of his company they wound
apply at once in Kansas City, Kas.,
and here for a franchise. In the
tangle they might be able to reduce
the rate to the one and put in favor
able ordinance to the other. He felt
that the Z. G. 1. is "bIuffing'' and will
not proceed to the work of putting in
a supply main, but if it does the Kan
sas company is forced to bid for con-
sumers, as it now has few millions
of dollars in gas pipe line and must
do business.
Officials of the Coffeyville Gas COM
pany will today transfer their gas
holdings to the Kansas Natural Gas
company. The latter company will be
represented by John c. Mcdowell in
the negotiations.
