cas- MEN TALK.
Urge That NO Restrictive Measures Be
Passed.

At 9 o'clock his morning the eom-
mittees on oil and gas from both
house and senate held a joint meeting
which was addressed by J. c. Nc
Dowell, president of the Kansas Nat
ural Gas company which is construct
ing the pipe line from the southern
Kansas field. President Mcdowell
said that he believed tbs gas should
be used only for domestic purposes
and not for factories, owing to he
fact that the supply of gas is LIMITED.
The committees adjourned at 10
O'Clock and reassembled at 1890, at
which time they were addressed by j..
X Cubbison, Mayor Gilbert of Kansas
City, Marvin Reitz, city attorney of
Kansas City, E. F. Ware, ]. W. Gleed
and Eugene Mackey. All of the
speeches this morning were in opposi-
ton to any restrictive legislation on
Monument for Colorado.
A petition was received in the house
this morning from the Beecher's
Island Battle association of Colorado
asking for an appropriation of $4,000
to be used in the erection of a monu-
ment at the scene of a fierce Indian
battle about seven miles west of the
Kansas nne The petition was signed
by a. large number of western Kansas
people.
1t is rather unlikely that Kansas
will vote money to build a monument
in Colorado. but there is pretty good
grOund for the application. The bat
tie occurred between a party of
Forsythe's scouts and a band Of In.
dams in which T. Fl. Beecher and
four comrades were killed. The scouts
were mostly recruited in western Kan
sas. The United States has made a
public park of 100 acres of the land
where the battle occurred. The Colo
RADIO legislature is also planning to
give 12O acres for the park.
