duced in said field has declined during /
the past year. The production. how |
ever, has greatly increased in the |
meantime, stocks have accumulated, |
and the difference in price is the result |
of large overproduction.
may add that there is an over |
production in many of the oil fields Of
this country and the world at large. |
The decline in price in the Kansas
Indian Territory field has been rela-
lively no greater. considering the quail
ity of the oil of that field as compared
with other fields in the county, than
the decline in price of oil produced in
the fields of the different states.
1t is true that a short time ago the
officers of the company gave instruc-
tons to its employees to cease building
additional tankage in Kansas. They
! had good reason for doing this When
| the line of pipe is completed to Whit
/ ing, near Chicago, additional tankage
in the field may not be needed.
A short time since the legislature of
/ Kansas passed an act, which, if a
valid law and shall be enforced, places
| the control of the lines of pipe of the
company in the hands of the railroad
commission of Kansas. and will oper-
ate as a practical confiscation of said
lines. Many of the things required to
| be done by the said act are wholly i'm
practicable. It provides that staIl pipe
! lines laid. built or maintained for the
conveyance of crude oil within The
state OF Kansas are hereby declared 10
be common carriers. and said convey
ance of said oil shall be in the manner
and under the restriction in this act
provided"
Section of this act provides that it
shall be the duty of every person, cor
poration, etc, operating pipe lines to
construct receptacles for receiving such
oil for transportation and for storage at
| the place of delivery until the same can
be reasonably removed by the con-
signee, and makes the person. corpora
ton, etc, operating such pipe lines IL
able for the oil from the time 1t is de-
livered for transportation until a rea-
sonable time after it has been trans
ported to the place of consignment and
ready for delivery to the consignee.
I call your attention to the entire act,
which is manifestly unfair and unjust
20 existing lines, and in my judgment,
if enforced, will prevent the operation
of such lines by the persons or corpora
tons owning them.
I think you viii agree with me that
the officers OF the company, under the
circumstances, acted properly and pru-
IDENTIFY in giving the order to stop the
construction of additional tankage
If the state of Kansas is to take pos
session and control Of the company
lines, it is not good business for it to
erect additional structures in that state.
Respectfully, M. F. ELLIOTT,
Attorney for the Prairie Oil and Gas
Company.

Mistake in Pavement Appraisement on
Huntoon Street.

At a meeting of the judiciary COM
rnittee of the council it was found that
the mistake in the appraisement OF the
property in the vicinity of Huntoon and
Tayior streets for the pavement at that
location could be remedied-
At the last meeting of the council a
petition was presented from OF the resi-
dent property owners in that vicinity
protesting against the appraisement.
The assessment ordinance passed by
the citv council for this Improvement
will have to be amended. The whole
trouble originated over the presence OF
Holiday park and the amount OF the
appraisemenI which was to be levied
on the city's property. All OF the pro-
perty belonging to the park was not
fenced in and the board Of appraisers
taking the fence as a basis OF the
amount of the city property involved
made their appraisement. This lesSeheo
the real amount which should nave been
met by the city and increased proper

ty owners in that vicinity mad 10 meet
The judiciary committee VIII recon-
mend to the council tonight that an
amendment be passed to the assess
ment# ordinance rectifying this blunder
as soon as the amount OF the rebate due
10 the property owners is discovered.

/ serious blunders within the last year.

HOW REBATES ARE PAID.
Hinted That santa Fe Pays More Than
Current Price for Lubricating on.

Kansas City, April 3-The question
asked by oil men in the conference at
the Hotel Baltimore Saturday as to the
price paid by the Santa Fe for lubri
eating oil shows that the oil producers
are posted. 1t is said they are in pos
session Of facts which show that the
Santa E'e railway has a contract to buy
its lubricating oil from the Standard
company and to pay more than S1.l5 a
gallon for it. The average man can buy
the same oil from the Standard for less
than sixty-hve cents a gallon. In this
way the railroad, the producers say,
pays the Standard about $l50000 a year
in excess of the regular price for the
same oil. This business of covering re-
bates in the purchase Of oils is an old
one in the east, but it is new in the
west.
The oil men are also in possession Of
Information that when the Santa F'e
and the other roads raised the tariff on
crude oil last summer to a pr0hibitive
figure the rates from Kansas City, or
rather from the Sugar Creek refinery,
to points in the middle west were re
duoed. Thus the Kansas producer
found the Standard selling fuel oil right
at his very door at a ridiculously low
price and the Humboldt refinery lost
its market from Kansas City south.
This tariff not only provided a market
for the Standard, but shut out the pro-
Queer.
The suggestion was made at the Hotel
Baltimore than suits against the rail-
roads be dismissed, whereupon one OF
the largest producers in the state an
nounced that If the present suits were
dropped he would at once begin pro-
Ceedings on his own hook. The sense
of the meeting was that it was better
to keep the suits going. More testi-
mony will be taken. The producers are
determined to place their information il
the record so that it may be used il
future should the railroads fail to stay
good. The witnesses are now in the OF
territory and they might not be here il
case the suits are permitted to lag fol
too long a time.
Among other things discussed in tn
meeting was the fuel oil pipeline. Al
of the producers present agreed tina
this line is an immediate necessity an,

DIR. GLADDEN. Refers to Gigantic Robber
In His Sermon.

Columbus, O., April 3.-The Rev. DR..
Washington GLADDEN., moderator of the
general council of Congregational
churches, preaching at the First Con-
gregational church on The Christian
of Today" said:
1.-THE Christian Of today is beginning
to get a. new idea of what it means to
carry his religion into his business; he
has found out that it signifies an earn
est effort to make his business not only
a means of gain, but an instrumental
tty of help and service to all his fellow
men.
Andrew Carnegie said some years
ago, for instance. that a man might
be as selfish as he pleased in the ac-
emulation of a fortune. if he would
of the fortune after it was made.
saThat is not the theory of the bust
ness mans responsibility. His great
est opportunities of benevolence are
those which come to him in his bust
ness. 1t is While he is making his for
tune, not after it is made, that he must
prove himself a Christian.
f'Gifts, no matter how Tnunifcent
which have been heaDed up by extor-
ton and trickerys are not Christian
/ benefactions.
"Sonne of the most gigantic robbers
I that the world has ever known-mer
who have accumulated hundreds Of
millions by wicked metnOds-are BY
some persons praised and fattered fol
/ their liberal gifts to churches. college:
and missions. Such an estimate does
/ not represent the Christianity of today
1.-THE Christianity of today distinctly

but not too arduOus for the all con
quering grace of Him who has Danish

1.-THE state is just as truly a divine
institution as the church is. and tn
governor, the mayor, the superintend
ent of police. the member Of the legis
Iature, or the city council or the schoo
board, is just as much minister an
servant of God as I am.
''I have Just as good a right to US
my opportunity here in this church t
enrich myself or to push my persona

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because Of some de
bilitV or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's

than by any other medicine, because 1t
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.

not that an incentive to prepare for a

If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham' S

years has sustained thousands OF
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriagess in
