START BITTER STRUGGLE
ON CUBAN ELECTION LAW
BY Associated Press.

HAVANA, Jan. 9.-There is a prob
ability of a bitter struggle in the law
commission appointed to revise the elec"
tion law of Cuba. The commission.
which consists of twelve members of
whom three are Americans, are under
stood to be divided on the suffrage
question.
The Liberal members, who are in u
minority, are in favor of letting con-
ditions remain as they are, but most Of
the others are inclined to some form of
plural voting through which by recog-
nizing educational and property qualifi-
cations the power of the ignorant ele-
ment would be offset.

CITES AMERICAN NAVY.
German Admiral Pleads in Reichstag
for Improvement.

Berlin, Dec. 9.-Speaking before
the Reichstag committee m the budget
today Admiral Won Tierpitz, secretary
of the admiralty defended the proposal
to shorten the age limit on German
battleships from 20 to 20 years. He
made reference to what was done in
the American navy, declaring that
there 16 years was regarded as the
greatest possible term of service. He
said the Introduction of telescope
gun sights had considerably enlarged
the effective fighting range of battle
ships. The battle Of Tshushima had
proved that the range of large guns
would have to be increased and con-
sequent thereupon a greater displace-
ment had become necessary. Ger
manys older warships were built for
short range fighting and they have lost
considerable in value, the admiral
said, through the development.
Short range artillery. would consti-
tute a point of great weakness on the
German line of battle. Other coun-
tries were taking these changed con-
ditions into account, the admiral con-
tinued, as, for example, France, where
entire squadrons of new warships had
been demanded.
Herr Bebel, the socialist leader, de-
manded that the revenues covering
the increased naval expenditures be
provided before any vote on a change
in building plans was taken.

NO AIR in GAS MAINS.
Mr.. Treleaven Makes a Statement
Concerning Meters.

Many people in Topeka seem to
think that during the recent low pres
sure in the supply of natural gas piped
in Topeka, the gas company reSorted
to the expedient of pumping air into
the mains in order to swell the pres
sure. and also that the meters run just
as fast during low pressure as they do
under normal condition. In regard to
these opinions Mr.. L. G. Treleaven, the
manager of the local gas company,
says:
During the recent shortage in the
gas supply in Topeka, due to the low
pressure, there was no question at any
time as to an abundant amount of gas
being at the source Of supply. The
entire difficulty was one of trans
portation rather than of supply of gas.
This being the case, it can easily be
understood that any talk of air being
delivered through the meters in
place of gas is idle for several reasons.
In the first place 1t would require the
same amount of physical force to send
a supply of air through the mains as
gas. And again it would De impossible
to mix air and gas in the mains. and
deliver 1t so that it would burn at all.
For the reason that gas is much
lighter than air the two would sepa-
rate in the pipes and stratify, the gas
rising to the top and the air remain
Ing at the bottom of the mains. This
would result in giving nothing but a
supply OF air TO those whose service
connections were made at the bottom
of the main and would result in their
being entirely unable to light their
fires. This has not been the case in
any. of our recent troubles. there be-
ing no time at which the mains were
not entirely filed with gas. And there
was no consumer in Topeka who
could not get gas even during the
Period of lowest pressure
Regarding the question as to
whether or not a meter would register
az much gas during a time when the
pressure was low. as it would under
normal pressure, we would suggest
that any one who feels that his meter
would register anything but the exact
amount of gas going through it, try
the following experiment: Light all
the burners of your furnace or stoves
opening the valves to their full limit.
Then time a revolution of the small
hand on the meter dial. Then turn
the gas down at the valves to a point
where the burners would burn about
as they did when the pressure was
low, and time the meter again BY
SIMPLY reduced the pressure and the
effect on the meter will be indentically
the same as though the pressure had
been reduced by an insufficient sup
ply OF gas in the mains"
In regard to making no reductions
in the bills for the month of Novem-
Der. on account of the low pressure Mr..
Treleaven explained that during the
month his company gave unin-
terrupted- service for twenty-seyen
days. One day poor service was rem
dered for ten hours and on the two
other days the service was poor for
three hours. This in all made only
sixteen hours of poor service during
the month of November, which is a
very small percentage.

TAKES OFF The TRAIN.
Passenger to Fort Scott on Missouri
Pacific Discontinued.

The Missouri Pacific railroad today
took off the passenger train which runs
between Topeka and Fort Scott This
was done, so the officials say, on ac-
count of the train not being able to pay
as a result of the two cent fare rate
and also as a result Of the present
financial furry. The Missouri Pacific
has adopted a retrenchment policy all
over their systems and eight or ten
other trains in Kansas have already
been taken off.
The service on the Missouri Pacific
branch between Topeka and Fort Scott
will again be reduced to what it was
about six years ago. The only train on
this road will hereafter be the local ac-
commOdation train which leaves Topeka
at 1880 in the morning and returns at
6:45 in the evening. This train will
carry a chair car and a combination
smoker and baggage car.
Whether the discontinuance of this
passenger train which was known as
No. 500 Southbound and No. $40 north
bound will remain in effect very long
is not known. The circular announcing
the annulling of this train was received
in Topeka Friday and announced the
temporary discontinuance." 1t is
thought by the local officials that the
train will be put on again whenever
the money market brightens up.
The recent deplorabfe condition of
Missouri Pacific tracks, which the
company is fast trying to Improve, is
doubtless the cause of part of the fall
ing off in travel.
M L. Garrett, who has been con-
ductor on the passenger train between
Topeka and Fort Scott for so many
years will now have charge of the mix
ed train.

PRICE RAID ROSTER.
Adjutant General Hughes Completes
One for Long.

At the request Of Senator Chester I.
Long, Adjutant General Hughes has
just had completed a complete roster
of all the regiments which were re-
cruited in Kansas for the purpose of
repelling the Price raid. The total
number of men enlisted in the various
regiments was 1900, but many of
these never saw any active service.
The work of preparing the list was
done by Mrs. May Longenbaugh, TIE
expert military accountant employed
by the state in making a copy of oil
the civil war muster rolls of the state.
One of the interesting facts shown
in the report is that one time a
company of fifty negro soldiers was
detailed from the Price raid militia to
build a fort to defend Topeka. The
fort was constructed at about the
place where Kansas avenue and Tenth
avenue intersect.
The document compiled by Mrs
Longenbaugh is a voluminous one and
will be used by Senator Long and the
Kansas delegation in an effort to have
the Price raid militia declared eligible
for government pensions.

SUGAR BEET CASE APPEALED.
VIII Settle Question of Forcing Farm
ers to Raise Beets.

The case of the United States Sugar
& Land company against A. E. Adams,
was appealed today to the Kansas SUI
preme court. The beet sugar company
claimed that Adams had assumed a
contract to raise six acres of sugar
beets for the sugar mill, and that he
had failed to deliver the beets. In the
lower court the sugar company won
and Adams appeals.
The case is of Importance because it
will determine whether or not the beet
sugar company can compel the farm
ers living near the mill to raise the
beets upon which the factory depends,
and deliver those beets to the mill or
care for them as required by the mill.
