PRESSURE is GOOD
But 1t Is Feared Demand Is
Too Great.
No Reports of Shortage at the
Headquarters.

Excess gas consumption during the
past twenty-four hours is likely to
produce shortage before night The
pressure continued normal up to noon
today, however, and there is a posi-
bility of getting through without seri-
Gus difficulty.
The gas pressure at the reducing
station on the city limits is holding
up at the present hour" said Man
ager L. G. Treleaven. of the Con-
sumers' Gas company, just before
noon today. There is no trouble any-
where on the pipe line and our only
means of forecast is at the reducing
station. While the pressure there has
not fallen below normal we are only
hoping that it does not. We have
no means of knowing whether it will
or will not The excess consumption
naturally would exhaust the supply.
There is good chance of US pulling
through all right"
1t seems to be hard matter to
bulletin the gas supply. The reducing
station indicators could, of course,
show no weakening of pressure until
that happens. That has not yet come.
When it does there is no telling when
the gas will strengthen until It does.

Are Growing Worse.

According to Warden ]. K. Codding of
the state penitentiary conditions are not
as they should be in the capital city
Topeka got too busy awhile ago looking
after private AFFAIRS said he in the
course of address on 1.-The New Grim
inology' Sunday at the Novelty theater,
and now you are paying for it,
"A man who is too absorbed in private
affairs to interest himself in political af-
fairs is not doing any more for the good
of the community than the man who is
in politics for private gains.
What per cent of the people are in
favor of bad influences on the streets-I
dare say not fifteen-but that fifteen often
exerts much influence in elections as the
good people are too busy to interest them
selves and the others are extremely ac-
tive.
"A social survey in Topeka that would
go at conclusions in an Intelligent manner
would make a great field for missionary
work. I have received many prisoners
from here in the last few months, and
did not get all of them. For every man
in the penitentiary it is estimated that
there are four criminals at large that
ought to be there
your police department ought to have
the name of every person of this charac-
there are laws sufficient to clean up all
the bad places. The only way to stop
the sread of crime is to stop it's propaga-
ton.
What would social survey in Topeka
show? 1t would show a long list of GRIM
inals, who make their headquarters here
and go out to the smaller towns to COM
NIT crimes; a list of houses of evil re-
sort-you'd find a lot of them"
