I'm regard to suffrage said Mrs.
O'Keefe, "the nurses have taken no

last year. and can't find a minute to
devote to it at this session We hope
to consider it seriously at some flu

FOR A RECEIVER
To Take Charge Affairs of Kan
sas Natural Gas Co.
Made to Judge
Pollock Today.

Application for a receiver for the
Kansas Natural Gas company was
made before Judge John S. Pollock, of
the United States district court, in
Kansas City this afternoon. 1t is as
serted in the application for receiver
that the company is unable to pay
it's bonded interest or to make pay
ments on its sinking fund at the pres
ent rates charged for gas in Kansas.
This company furnishes natural gas
for Topeka and other cities in eastern
Kansas.
The application for a writ was filed
with Commissioner Campbell in Kan
sas City, Kan, and asks for the forth
with appointment of receiver to take
charge of the company's business. The
question of a receiver for the cor
poration has been taken under advise
ment and will probably be formally
passed on in the next few days. APP
nlication for a receiver was made on
behalf of stockholders in the COM
pany.
In a lengthy petition filed in the
federal court, it is asserted that the
company is now charging % and q
cents a thousand feet for gas and
that because of the supply and operat-
ing expenses, it is impossible for the
company to pay dividends on its bond
ed indebtedness or to decrease It's
sinking fund.
This action for a receiver follows
contemplated actions against the
company by Attorney General John
s Dawson. 1t was announced last
week that the state would probably
take action to compel the gas COM
pany to furnish adequate supplies of
gas to cities in which the company
las a charter. Whether the receiver
ship suit will affect the bringing of
this suit, is not known in Topeka at
this time Attorney General Dawson
and his assistants were out of the city
today. Dawson is known to be in
Kansas City, where he IS investigating
the gas troubles with a view of filing
actions against the Kansas Natural
people. At his Office and at the Of
Ces of the public utilities commission,
the news of an application for a re-
ceiYer came as a surprise.
