MIR. sPINNEY AGAIN WINS.
Given Judgment of $1,000 Against NJ
Ware on Old Insurance Deal.

Judge Dana decided this morning that
E. c. Spinney, of the Bankers Union
Insurance company, should have judg-
ment against NJ. Ware, medical director
of the late National Aid association for
81 500
In making the decision Judge Dana
decided one of the most peculiar cases
ever in the district court Ware. as
medical director, was the prime mover
in the National Aid association. He
made an arrangement with Mr.. Spin
ney, of Omaha, for the Bankers union
to buy out the National Aid. Spinnev
was to pay Ware 81, 800 to be used in the
expenses OF carrying on the deal He
gave ware notes to the amount of 30
500. The deal was never carried through
but the %7otes were sold to an innocent
purchaser and suit was brought for
their recovery Austin & Hungate rep
resented Spinney and David Overmyer
was the attorney for Ware
me suit for the collection of the notes
was brought before Judge Hazen. It
was SHOWN that the man who bought
the notes agreed to give some cattle for
them but 1t was shown that he had
potn the notes and the cattle and the
case was decided in favor of Spinney.
that the notes could not be collected.
Ihen Spinney brought suit against
ware Tor $1,000, an amount of the orig
NAL S2,500 which he claimed had not
been used by Ware in carrying on the
deal ThS case was tried before JUDGE
Dana. The same arguments were used

ment that were used in the first case
TO defeat judgment, and the arguments
worked To use a railroad expression

ward the middle.

I also found from my experiments,
that one ton of coal was practically
equivalent in water eVapOraung power,
to y, 500 cubic feet of Lawrence gas.
The coal used was Leavenworth- Other
authorities give about the same results,
or say 10000. One authority says that
1900 feet of gas (naturaD is equal to
ton of coal. From what 1 can gather
Kansas coal is about two-thirds the
efficiency of the best Pennsylvania coal,
and if this statement is true, 1000
pounds Of Kansas coal would be equal
to $4,000 cubic feet of natural gas and
1000 Kansas coal would be equal to
q 500 cubic feet Illuminating gas, cOnse-
quently the ratio of natural gas to ar
tifcial gas would be as q to IA. There
is a great variety in the figures of COM
parisOn CT natural gas and coal, de-
pendent on the variety of furnace, and
the quality of coal; Barr quotes q
range of from 600 to $4,000 cubic feet
Of gas to ton of coal. Another author
states that Natural gas is the most
concentrated fuel known IN technical
practice being considerably superior to
the gas distilled from coal, known COM
monty as Illuminating gas, and far SUI
periOr to the ordinary fuel gas obtain
ed from either anthracite or bituminOuS
coal, which is diluted by large per
cent of incombustible or inert nitro
gen" Cngalls D. $3.50
You will notice that the statement
that I made above depends on the state
ment that PENNSYLVANIA coal is more
efficient than Kansas coal IN the pro
portion of l to 2-3. On this basis
then it would take half more llum1nat-
ing gas to do the same amount OF work
that would be done by one part of nat
ural gas. These are the best figures
that I can find.
Yours sincerely,

PROF. BAILEY ON GAS.
Expert Shows Relative Merits of Nat
ural and Artificial Product.

According to a report submitted by
Prof. E. H. s. Bailey, head of the chem
fstry department of Kansas university
to city Attorney Dreaming the ratio of
natural gas to artificial gas as based on
its strength is as p is to II, or in 9TH
ed words artificial gas has twO-thirds
the strength Of natural gas. At this
rate the IS cents manufacturing rate of
the Continental franchise is the same
as artificial gas at 80 cents per thou
sand while the domestic rate of 80
cents of natural gas would be the same
as Is cents for artificial gas. This on a
basis of gas as utilized for fuel pur-
poses.
Following is Prof. BafIey's report:
