already promised $4,000.
Many residents of Omaha, who have
houses for rent, have turned these
over to the tornado victims free. An

fund will be a society tag dayMOn-

40 RAISE IN THE PRICE OF GAS
The Kansas Utilities Commission De-
cides Against Receivers of the
Producing Company


Topeka, Kan@The Kansas Utilf-
tiles Commission has decided against
the Kansas Natural Gas Company and
it's allied corporations in the applica-
ton to raise the price of natural gas
The decision in part says:
I'VE find that all the money that tbs
Kansas Natural Gas Company had IN
vested was money that it raised by
issuing bonds and that something
more than half the money raised in
that way has been paid back from
the earnings of the company, and that
the receipts of the company up to
this time have been satisfactory. We
cannot tell how much gas there is,
but we are unable to find from the
evidence before us that the shortage
is as great as the Kansas Natural
thinks We also find that the Kansas
Natural pipelines have physical
connection with the Oklahoma pipe
lines and the Kansas Natural and the
Oklahoma Natural are so interlocked
that they would not willingly let each
other suffer
We find that the present rates are
probably the greatest revenue rates.;
that is, gas at 25 cents per thousand
cubic feet is as expensive as coal at
sC.25 per ton, and we refuse to allow
them to increase the rates.

was packed with persons seeking free

President Huerta Will Try to Crush

The City of Mexico.-The breaking
off of all negotiations for peace with
Zapata has forced the government to
mobilize strong force for a campaign
against the southern rebels. That has
been done in spite of teh fact that
rebel successes in the north have
made imperative the dispatch of Il
large part of the regular army to that
region.
The war department says that gov
eminent troops will begin moving into

followers. That concentration will
continue until an army of ten thou
sand men has been gathered.
Gen. Pascual Orozco, jr., and many
of his old chiefs will participate in

CLEANING UP At DAYTON NOW
TWENTY THOUSAND ARE STILL

Fifteen Thousand houses and Bust

presented to Dayton, as summarized
by George F. Burba, secretary to
Governor Cox, and representing the
latter here:
Forty thousand persons must be
fed, clothed and housed for a week
more.
Twenty thousand persons must be
cared for indefinitely. These are per
sons who lost their all when their
household goods were swept away.
They must be provided with a few
necessary household articles and a
few dollars. half million dollars
could be used in this way by the re-
lief committee.
Fifteen thousand houses and bust
ness buildings must be rehabilitated.
Two thousand houses and other
structures or what remains of them
must be pulled down.
Thousands of tons of debris must
be removed.
Following are some of the accom-
plishments since the flood broke over
the city last Tuesday morning:
The water works pumping station is
in operation but the distribution of
water is greatly retarded by open
pipes in wrecked houses.
The main sanitary sewer is in oper-
alton, although many of the 1aterals
leading from houses are clogged with
mud or backed up water
