GAS HOLDS OUT.
Local Company Has Had Little Trou-
bic With Supply.

The gas conditions in Topeka today
have been very favorable. During the
cold of Sunday and today the pressure
has been good and there have been but
few cases reported of inadequate pres
sure These were all due to local con-
ditions and not to the supply of gas.
At the city limits where the gas Is
delivered to the local mains, at noon
today a pressure of Is pounds was re-
corded. According to Mr.. L. q. IRE
leaven, manager Of the local company,
who was seen by a State Journal repor-
ter this afternoon, this pressure is suf-
ficient to insure heat and light for To-
peka during the present cold snap. MT.
Treleaven was in conference over the
telephone with the headquarters OF the
Kansas Natural Gas company at kan
sas City this morning and was informed
this afternoon. If this is done Topeka
people will need have no fears over the
gas supply.
The conditions during the present cold
weather are not as bad as they were a
week ago. The thermometer has not
gone below zero and the wind is not
as high. Last weeks conditions were
unusual for Kansas, and the company
was taxed to furnish plenty Of gas for
Topeka.
The conditions for today are not as
bad as I had expected" said Mr.. IRE
leaven this afternoon. THE supply is
good and every indication at present
seems to insure US plenty of gas. If
conditions keep on as they are at pres
ent have no fears for the gas consum-
ers of the city, e.--
In his conversation with the Kansas
City headquarters this morning, Mr..
Treleaven informed the Kansas Natural
of the local conditions. and
also that any FAILURE in the service
would be charged to them

THEORISTS DO NOT AGREE.
Cause of the Explosion at ZeigIer Still
Undetermined.

for Four victims were negroes, four
were Americans and Is were foreign
ers- OF the "a men at work in the
mine only three escaped
Efforts to establish. the cause of the
disaster are being made but thus far
few of the theorists agree. Experts
who had inspected the mine after the
recent fire in 1t, declared it safe and
fun preparations for a resumption of
mining had been made. There was
but little damage to the workings and
it is likely that operations will be re-
sumed as planned at an early date
