GAS TOWN MAYORS MEET.
Topeka Conference Will Consider
City Ownership.

Topeka, July 29.-Last week wa'
the liveliest one at the state house
tor the whole summer, and the
present one with its meeting OF gas
town mayors on Wednesday, July
80, to discuss procedure in the
handling of the Kansas Natural Gas
company situation, will develop
much of Importance to at least a
third of the people of the state.
If the legislature is called to-
gether, following the conference OF
the mayors, the state house will
witness unusual summer time ac-
tivity. Some of those who are
watching the gas situation most in
terestedly believe that the gas COM
.pany bond holders will volunteer
their agreement to the providing Of
a suitable supply of gas for next
winter and relieve what must other
wise develop into crisis for gas
users. On the other hand, If the
company really has been bad in
Vestment for the people who have
nut their money into the enterprise
they may prove willing to consider
q proposal to sell out to the public.
Should the legislature provide
laws broad enough to empower the
various towns to buy the local gas
properties under condemnation pro-
the law will also be broad
enough to permit any Kansas town
to h. take over any sort of 3 public
utility at any time. 1t should give
a big impulse to public ownership
which is already fairly well tested
in this state.

CLAY CENTER HAS TROUBLE
WITH THE CITY RECORDS

Clay Center, July SO.-The Re-
publican says: Among the other Inn
portant developments attending the
examination of the city'a records,
Is the fact that the bonds Of the late
city clerk, Guy Martin, do not seem
to be available, and according to
the general rumor, nothing Is known
as to their whereabouts. After an
extended search. It Is reported that
an old one, covering his term for
1907 and 1908, was located, but 1t
seems that his bonds for 1909 and
1910, and 1911 and 1919, are not
forthcoming. This may not be as
important as 1t looks on the face,
as in the case OF lost document.
facts concerning It can be dstab-
lished on parole evidence and the
names of the guarantors being
known, they can be held for their
liability.
The ugly fact, of course, in con-
nection with their absence, 10 the
natural inference that some one had
an interest in their disappearance
and hoped, by extracting them from
The office, to escape liability.

bride was placed in jail. Harvey
Dean, the young husband, called up
! on his wife soon after her arrival

fectionately. Mrs. Dean repudiated

fled and the police were in close
pursuit. She said that she did not
leave lola willingly and that she
was led out of the court house park

Fe train, and only gave up when
she thought further resistance was
Of no avail. She says that she knows
there was a plot formed to steal
her away from Dean, and that a
rival for her hand, the man who
formerly lived in Hume, Mo-, but
who was not McCord was the prin-
cipal leader Of the gang. This man,
the girl-wife says, has attempted to
approach her since she has been

Says Decline of Government Bonds
Due 20 United Action.
WOULD CAUSE UNEAsNEss
Secretary McAdoo Claims Bonds
Worth Par Despite Apparent
Depreciation $50, OOO, 900
Decline Since Purchase.

washington, July 2s.--SecretarI
McAdoo issued q statement las
night fatty charging that the de-
cline Of government Q per cent
bonds to ninety-five and a half-a
new low record--was due almost
wholly to what appears to be a cam
paign waged with every indication
of concerted action on the part OF
a number of influential New York
City banks to cause apprehension
and uneasiness about these bonds
in order to help them in their eff
forts to defeat the currency bill"
Banks throughout the country
owns almost entirely $730,882, 1870
Of the per cents. Their market
value today was approximately 80
million less than when the banks
bought them. Almost all the en-
tire issue is used as security for
national bank notes. At the pres
emit price, however, the discrepancy
between the market value and the
issues of notes against the bonds is
covered by what is known as the 5
per cent redemption fund, deposited
by the banks with the treasury to
care for retirements of national
bank notes.
. Secretary McAdoo announced It'll
was not his intention to require the
banks to charge off the present
depreciation below par, but that the
banks might continue to put in the
bonds at par in their statements to
the comptroller of the currency, at
least until some material change
In conditions should compel the
adoption Of another course"
In his statement Secretary Nc
Adoo declared the per cents were
worth par notwithstanding their
decline in the New York market,
and continued:
1.-THE idea seems to be that the
country banks. which hold about
two-thirds of the 2 per cent bonds
and use them as the basis for their
circulating notes, may be induced1
to unite with the New York City
banks in opposition to the bill If
they can be made to believe that
the proposed currency measure is
going to injure these bonds and
cause losses to the banks. This is,
OF course, unfounded."
