BE AN INCREASE
Both Sides Agree Raise in Gas
Price Necessary.
But Not as Much as Judge
Pollock Ordered.

That there must necessarily be an in
crease in the price Of natural gas to
consumers, but that it will not be
nearly so much as that ordered by
Judge John G. Pollock, was generally
agreed at the meeting this morning of
various interests The meeting has
succeeded SO far in agreeing upon for
mai matters concerning the organiza-
ton, capitalization and indebtedness of
the Kansas Natural Gas company, and
the distributing concerns. Beyond that
the meeting has been unable to go.
1t was generally agreed that before
any definite decision can be reached
either by the meeting of interests or
the public utilities commission which
begins its hearings on the gas case
tomorrow morning, it will be necessary
to make an exhaustive survey of the
gas fields with a view to making an
appraisement of the value of the hold
fngS of the Kansas Natural, and to
ascertain as nearly as possible the ex-
tent of gas available in the various
fields.
report of W T. Newman, special ac-
countant for the utilities Commission,
shows a heavy decrease in the produc-
ton of natural gas from the Kansas
NaturaPs own fields, and in the last
year big decrease in the amount of
gas used for boiler consumption.
Reports of the engineers for the re-
ceivers and Of C. c. Witt for the utili-
ties commission were widely at vari-
ance, and 1t finally was agreed that
both reports should be presented to the
commission for consideration.
The report shows that during the
be written up this afternoon for pre-
sentation to the commission tomorrow
morning, shows an increase in the ex-
pense of delivering gas to the distrib-
uting companies. 1t also shows that
contracts with distributing companies
have been made at a higher and higher
rate the more recent the contracts.
The14 report shoSs that during the
natural gas in the fields of the Kansas
Natural amounted to something over
6, ,O00. 000, 900 cubic feet. This increased
rapidly each year until 1910 when it
was 2S, 900, ,000 900 cubic feet. Since then
it has decreased rapidly, the output in
1912 up to the last of November having
been only 1000. .000, 900. The amount,
however, does not take into consider
alton the waste in Transmission, the
figures having been secured by deduct
ing the amount of gas purchased by the
Kansas Natural from the amount sold.
Technical questions as to valuation
of the plant and holdings of the COM
pany important to securing a decision
as to rates to be charged, are expected
| to require months to sift out and an

hearing for time to make additional in

War Between Turkey and
Balkan Allies Has Ended.
Nothing Left but to Formulate
a Satisfactory Treaty.
SOON WILL BEGIN TO DISARM
Even Greece Now Will Cease
Her Hostile Actions.
King Nicholas Insists on Reg
ular Surrender of Saitari.

London, Jan. 23.-The imm ediate
consequences of the decision of the
Turkish grand council to conclude
peace with the Balkin allies will be
the cessation of hostilities between
Greece and Turkey and the surrender
of the Turkish fortresSes of Adrian
ople, Janin and Scutari. At all three
fortresses, the Turkish garrison will
withdrawn with the honors of war.
Difficulties may arise concerning
the fate of Scutari as no one knows
to whom it is to be surrendered,
whether to the Montenegrins, to a
provisional Albanian government or
to the representatives of powers.
King Nicholas of Montenegro insists
he must enter Scutari at the head of
his troops. Otherwise he says the
reign of his family in Montegro is
doomed as he, contrary to the advice
of his generals refused to try to take
Scutari by storm at the beginning of
the war in order to avoid the certain
heavy losses which his small army
would have suffered. He preferred
the temporizing policy of laying Siege
to the fortress and should Scutari for
this reason be lost. to the Montene-
grins he alone will be considered re-
SponSible.
Members of the Turkish peace dele
CATION in London showed signs of de-
preston today, but they are determined
that the era of concessions must now
be regarded as closed. They say they
are convinced that the powers will sup
port them in rejecting the demands
of the allies for war indemnity.
All fears of a resumption of the war
having been removed the allies are now
planning the withdrawal of large bod
les of troops at an early date. The
delegates in London, however, think
that a month may pass before the final
signatures are put to the peace treaty
as the settlement of exact frontiers,
the questions of indemnity and the
guarantees in regard to the mosques
and sacred places of Adrianople still
have to be arranged.

Fish and Game Warden and the
Legislature.
His Law Is Threatened and
Even His Job.
THE MAN And HIS WORK
Has Done His Best-Only a
Miracle Could Please All.
Five Laws That Interest the
Merchants.

Professor Dyche's fish and game
laws seem doomed to spend a bad
winter. The members of the Sports
mems association are after them. And
there are about $4,000 members of the
said association. Sportsmen's clubs
have met and legislated and passed
resolutions a plenty in the past year
about the Dyche laws. They didn't like
the restrictions thrown around game
and they don't like the idea of spend
ing all the money paid in by hunters
in the building of fish ponds at Pratt
and the propagation of fish. On the
other hand the farmers want protec-
ton for game. The laws are sure to
be amendedi but it will be quite a
complicated job. Dyche may lose his
job, too. Dyche's work on the fish
hatchery was an enthusiastic hobby
of Governor Stubbs, who often de-
clared that it would be worth thou
sands and thousands to the state in
the end. Dyche himself is one of the
states most interesting and able
men. In his field of animals and fish
and their habits, he is eXcelled by few
if any men in this country. He him
self faces the legislation coolly and
philosophically. IF they want my job

The GORDON BILL
1t Requires Gas Through
Mains, Not Air.
WyandOtte Representatives
Gas Was Very Low.
COULDN'T COOK AN EGG
Must Keep Foreign Substances
to 2 Per Cent.
Bill to Bar Common Law
Marriages.

| After securing the passage of a reSo-
luton which took a direct slap at Judge
! Pollock because of his recent decisions
in the gas cases and urged congress
| to abolish all fede-o1 judgeShips, w.
| w. Gordon, of Wyandotte county, to-
! day offered a bill tending to make the
gas companies doing business in Kan
! sas to furnish real gas through their
mains and to maintain a minimum
pressure or relinquish claims for gas
consumed.
Ever since the day that natural gas
was piped to Kansas City, Kansas, Cor
don's gas meter has worked overtime.
On cold days when it was impossible
to cook an egg on the gas range, the
Wyandotte member could hear the lit
tie dials and wheels in the meter play
ing rag time as they registered the gas
that he didn't get Whether it was
water or air or coal smoke that went
through the pipes and made the meter
violate the union rules in registering a
gas bill, Gordon never knew. But he
is confident that he and his neighbors
paid for good deal of gas that was
never burned in the range and the fur
mace.
So the Wyandotte county member has
fra med and introduced a gas bill with
teeth in it. He provides that at least
9S per cent of the material, ingredients
and substances that go through the gas
pipes shall be real bona fide gas that
burns. He provides further that at no
time shall more than two per cent of
water, cold air and other adulteratfons
be mixed with the gas. And he further
provides that a minimum pressure
equal to four ounces of water pressure
be maintained by the gas company at
all times.
If any or all of these provisions are
violated at any time, Gordon stipulates
that the gas company relinuuiSheS each
and all of it's claims for service to the
Individual consumer and that the pur-
chaser of gas is thus provided just de-
fense in any court of competent juris-
diction.
Common law marriages will not be
recognized by Kansas courts in the
future if a bill Intro oduced in the house
today by Miller of Cherokee county
becomes a law. Miller is the Socialist
member from Cherokee county and he
would put a ban on all marriages,
authorizing which a formal certificate
has been issued by the probate judge
or other proper authority.
The Cherokee county Socialist does
not seek to disturb the relations of
persons now living as man and wife
under common law contract, but
would eliminate such practice in the
future. His bill would make such
practice In Kansas a miSdemeanor and
would eliminate such contracts from
standing under the provisions of the
statutes.
At the present time the common
law marriage is fully recognized by
Kansas courts. The fact that a man
and woman have for a considerable
time lived as husband and wife, or
have been known or recognized in a
community as husband and wife, is
deemed in itself sufficient to have
constituted a marriage contract. Under
